first day of school

It's Samantha's first day of school today. She's on her last phase in pre-school as Kinder 2. Next year, my little bratinella will be in Grade 1. Oh my, time flies so fast! I can still remember her first school day, back when she was enrolled as "saling kitkit" in a small playschool near our place. She was 3 years old back then. Just simply enjoying singing and playing with her fellow classmates.

But now, just look at her ... a full-blown pre-school. Eager to learn and excited to mingle with new friends. Thankful she matured for the past two years in her big school. Thankful that she turned out to be a good and responsible student. I am really proud and happy of my little bratinella. Oh, no longer a brattinella so much anymore...with the arrival of baby brother, she improved and matured a lot. She became big sister in a funny and loving way too! Well, that is my little Samantha ... and we love her dearly! :)

diet pills search

I've been looking for effective diet pills for months now, and so far I've tested a few of them. Others provide promising results, while others ... just promises. With so many available diet pills in the market, it's hard to determine effective diet pills. Other diet pills comes with flashy packaging, while some fully endorsed by big time celebrities. Recently, I've stumbled weight-loss review site, and I've read apidexin as one of the leading weight loss pills in the market. Price wise, very affordable and it can burn fats effectively, while suppressing the appetite. Great benefits eh? Downside, no side effects. Could this be true? I sure hope so. Anyway, do check out the reviews about and be the judge of this weight-loss product.

june travel plans

Before I read more about fat burner reviews, allow me to share our family travel plans for my upcoming birthday and Father's Day this June.

For June 19-22, our family will be Singapore bound. Since we haven't really been out as a family for a summer vacation, we've decided to celebrate our last hurrah for summer with the kids before the school opens by 2nd week of June. Well ..that's the grand plan. However, since the airline promo happily coincides with my birthday week and father's day celebration, we've made some minor adjustments to maximize our trip. And of course, to save on costs.

Normally, we leave for Hongkong month of June to visit Hongkog Disneyland. But this year, since the Universal Studios opened early 2010, we've decided to bring the kids to Singapore. It will be their first time to visit the country, while the husband and I ... our nth visit already. I am sure they will love it here. Thus, aside from Universal Studios, our travel itinerary will include Night Safari, visit at the Science Museum, explore Jurong Park, photo opps at Merlion City, roam around Sentosa Park, and of course, enjoy the Great Singapore Sale shopping along Orchard Road. Weeee!

It's a fun and adventure-packed trip for our family for four days and three nights, and I can't wait to finalize our itinerary. Haven't booked our hotel yet, but I am definitely sure to get the hotel package with Universal Studios free ticket. Coolness, eh!

weight battle

After giving birth six months ago, I've been in constant battle with my weight. I thought it would be easy to go back to my pre-preggo weight, by simply going to the gym and following a strict diet but like other people, I've realized it is easier said than done. With a little baby to take care, with the constant demands from my work, and with a home to look after ... my diet plans took a back seat to give way to my other priorities in my life. I've tried several ways to lose weight, mostly instant weight-loss pills and so far, the results are slow and unappealing as I can't see myself improving. I've read several sites for top diet pill available in the market, and the results ... endless! Now, I'm not sure if I should continue taking diet pills or just go back to the gym to lose weight.

Anyway, what do you think? The picture below was taken two months ago from our summer get-away at Shang-rila Boracay. I've successfully lost a little over ten pounds after giving birth, and I am determined to double it by year-end. Any chance you can help me with instant weight-loss pill? :)

cramming mode

Yes, I admit. I badly need a good night cream to eliminate those dark circles under my eyes. Been sleeping quite late lately, especially these past few days I've been very busy with work. Sad, but can't help it. I've been very busy finishing some tasks to ensure worry and travel-free Singapore trip. Deadlines must be met, tasks to be submitted for approval. And revenue forecasts need to be finalized. All of these cramming and rush activities, in preparation for our upcoming travel. Yes, in the next fifteen days will be leaving for another trip. This time, with the kids. Quick vacation get-away before the school starts. Though I want to learn more , and read more on the web for quick-remedy solution or best eye cream solution, I am afraid that will have to wait. Because for the meantime, priorities need to be set. And the eye creams not part of my to do list for the week. Yes, I am that uber-busy. :(

on allergy relief products

I've been searching for an effective allergy cream for months now, from very expensive products available in the market to the most affordable one. So far, I can't find a cream that truly delivers what it promises. That is, quick relief. Luckily, last week, my cousin based in NY informed me about the allergy relief website she found that might answer all my sinusitis and breathing congestion problems brought by dust, pollen and smoke. True enough, I was able to find the right product for me. Aside from allergy-free pillows, towels and sheets, I was able to find other products that helps minimize airborne contaminants inside the home. Perefct site, don't you think so? Do check out.

I heart ...

... this orange bag.

Saw the bag from my favorite showbiz magazine, YES! and I couldn't help but drool over it. My fellow blogger and MBAP friend Kelly, confirmed this "IT" bag is indeed, HERMES LINDY. So pretty and fab!! And I can't help but to drool again. Love, love the stunning color of the bag. Yet, another addition to my never-ending wish list .. yes, just a wish since I can't afford to own an Hermes bag! (And even if I can afford it, will probably not buy one! hihihihi ... in my wildest dreams)
