The Nanny is registered for her entrance exam in a university, she is planning to take up something to do with Hotel services, she is actually dreaming of any chef work someday but I told her to take a 4-year course and if she is really determined to take up Culinary then she can support herself by taking up that after graduating from College. I really wish her well which is why we are supporting her College education, something I promised her and myself to do, more of like a mission and gratitude for taking care of our son since he was born.

I’m on a diet starting today. We are gearing up for Summer which means, shorts, tanks and baby tees which will look nice on a toned body. I don’t want to say skinny because that’s a built that will be very hard to achieve. Anyway, I am trying to cut my carbo intake and introducing wheat/rye crackers for breakfast and dinner. I am planning to just have rice during lunch, I can’t eliminate rice so I have to have at least one meal with it. Today, I had this for breakfast…

That’s mango yogurt, banana and the rye crackers.

On exercise. I promised to do it regularly starting tomorrow, March 1. We had our CBC last Thursday and though we haven’t received the results yet, I am doing this step to being healthy this year. Start the pace and keep on it like what I did last May to July when I consistently went to the gym twice a week.

Actually I just call them that because I’ve been suffering from acne for months before the year ended so my husband advised me to seek professional help so I went again to Belo Medical Group for some advices and as usual the very nice dermatologist prescribed me Obagi but I told her that I can’t afford to maintain that regimen because it is very pricey. She changed my regimen to a more affordable price and it is a “semi-Obagi regimen” as she calls it with Belo’s own line of medications. Here is my help to remedy my acne prone skin and so far it is working quite well, compared last December. (I still have acne around my chin and lower jaw area but my cheeks and forehead improved a lot.)

I am asked to go for a facial twice a month but still that is too much so I’ve decided to visit once a month and I’m due to go there again for a facial next weekend.

I was sick last week and I needed to rest for 2 days because I wasn’t feeling better. I think I gained weight more than losing when I stay at home. My son’s Nanny prepared a timely snack for me…

Hot Noodles and my fave Spanish Bread

Snacks like these, I really can’t resist. I will just need to take the best fat burner if I may. It’s great that I don’t have to stay the whole week or else I will be gaining too much, not that I don’t want to stay home because I can see my son round the clock, but I get strong appetite when I’m at home.

My husband is suggesting that we go to the grocery every week and I cook viands for a week for us to bring at work. As much as I want the idea, this needs a lot of budgeting and since my parents budget the food at home, we need to incorporate the food I will be cooking. It might be too much and we need to buy food storage where we can put the cooked food in the freezer that can be reheated in the microwave and we also need storage where we can put the raw ingredients in the freezer and fridge. I saw something like this in the mall…

But I am not sure if they are microwaveable. The various sizes is nice to fit different kinds of food. I will have to plan this and do some budgeting before I make plans for it, probably next month.

I am reading a lot of Sensa reviews lately. Want to try losing weight through the sense of smell? That is how Sensa Weight Lose System is primarily designed and I am really curious. I am not really fat. I actually maintained my 120 lbs. weight and though I want to lose more, I am glad that I am not gaining anymore even if I sometimes eat a lot. Maybe eating a lot every weekends is compensated with me dieting the whole work week. My diet?

Breakfast:

I usually eat a bowl of oatmeal or a banana with a cup of my high calcium milk.

Lunch:

I usually eat a viand of fish and veggies or chicken and 1/2 cup of rice.

Dinner:

Anything fish or chicken with little rice and I drink another cup of my high calcium milk before bedtime.

This diet is working for me, the only thing I need is my enthusiasm and consistency of doing exercises which I should be doing twice a week. I sometimes gets busy at work that I can spend an hour in the gym.

I am sporting a new scent courtesy of my brother in law from Georgia. I still adore Kenzo of course and it will be my first love but I love the scent of Elizabeth Arden Mediterranean Spray.

A radiant woody floral. A modern expression of sparkling radiance.

• Sparkling Radiance: Peach Nectar Sorbet, Sicilian Mandarin, Damask Plum
• Unforgettable Bloom:Radiant Wisteria, Star Magnolia, Madagascar Orchid
• Lasting Impression: Addictive Sandalwood, Fluid Skin Musk, Golden Amber Whisper

“I love Mediterranean, it is a captivating fragrance…one to wear when you’re not feeling shy.”
– Catherine Zeta-Jones

I am shy but I love this scent. LOL.

My husband is getting conscious of his face. He looked at his photos recently and noticed that he is forming wrinkles around his eyes. He is actually planning to get Prevage for himself. I don’t think he needs one but he is convinced that he needs it and I don’t think I can do anything to convince him to delay his plans. There are only two concerns he has on his looks, the wrinkles and hair. Oh well, of all people I should understand how he feels since I, myself is so conscious of how I looked ever since I got acne during College. He has been reading reviews and been going to forums about fighting wrinkles and I think he will make the purchase in no time.

Summer is in the air. Since we are living in a tropical country, getting a tan is really easy but the sun can be cruel these days and getting a sunburn is not safe anymore. A friend of mine who has a very white skin is going to Boracay next month and she is very conscious of her very white skin so she wants to get a tan and she is actually looking for the best tanning lotion around. She already tried a tanning lotion before she was not happy with the results. Anyway, speaking of Summer, I also helped her find nice swimwear and I found really cute ones from Gap.

I recently joined a Creative Team. I am dreaming of being in this CT for quite some time now and since they have opening this month, I gathered my guts and joined.

I am very pleased to see that Fei-Fei’s Stuff is not requiring too much tasks to her members, she actually wants her members to just do 3 tasks:

1. She just wants to 1 digital scrapbooking layout for her every kit. ~This I can do very easily since I am scrapping regularly again and I love her works so I can probably even make 2-3 layouts for her kit if I don’t have a bust schedule.
2. Post to 3 galleries. I will hvae to check the galleries where I joined before because right now, I became really active to just the Oscraps gallery though I post my layouts regularly in my Flickr account.
3. Promote her designs. ~ I will definitley try my best on this though I didn’t experienced any sales jobs, I will try my best to increase her sales and for this task I need to allot time every week to be active in galleries and forums.

The new members will be announced today and I am quite nervous to know if I got in. Wish me luck!

I saw this over at Michelle Phan’s videos and I think I want to share this to people who want to pursue their freelance career. I have friends who are making their way to photography. Anyway, here it is…

Did you see the payment system? Too high tech if you ask me!
