Under Renovation (again!)
My in-laws house is going under renovation for the nth time. It was only 10 months ago when they renovated all the rooms upstairs and converted the simple stair to a spiral stair. Now, they are going to renovate the bathrooms and kitchen. Last month, we went to a home depot somewhere in The Fort to look for faucets, more specifically Moen faucets. Unfortunately, we didn't find one. We'll try the Ortigas Home Depot this month though so that renovation will be finally complete. Labels: home improvements

On Losing Weight
Unfortunately, the plan of enrolling myself in a gym last Friday didn’t materialize as 3 of my office colleagues went on a vacation time off. As much as possible, I want to lose weight the natural way before resorting to any kinds of fat burners. I am really determined to shed the extra pounds I have gained before baby marks his first birthday on September. I promise to blog about my progress of losing weight. I will even take pictures as proofs so watch out for updates :) Labels: health and living

On Going To Gym
I have mentioned in my other blogs that James and I are going to enroll ourselvest in a gym class by the end of the month. I think I'll be needing and MP3 player as I get my ways around the thread mill. Perhaps, it's now time for me to replace the old and reliable iPod Nano that I had some 5 years ago. It has already served its purpose. Now that it's about to retire, I'm on the look on different ipods. I want the best model out of my very modest budget. :) Labels: fitness, gadget

Binge-ing!
Blame it to the PMS (post menstrual syndrome) that I've been bingeing on Oreo and Chips Ahoy Cookies. I badly need myself to get enrolled to a gym. I think having one of the best fat burners will also help me lose weight. I am not going to be a hypocrite. I know I am getting fat and I know I need some "extra" help. Though I am open for some auxilliary, I don't think I can go under the knife. The idea of me going to an operating room scares the hell out of me. Really. Labels: health and beauty

Drooling Over Ikea
One of my favorite sites is IKEA. I know, we don't have a house yet so scouting for house furnitures will make me look like a fool. But who cares? As early as now, I'm also setting myself on what type of house furnitures like audio racks, we're gonna have in our home. I don't want the traditional house fixtures. I mean withh all the nitty gritty details. I want something minimalist-zen type. I was contemporary. Yeah. Most probably our house will be filled with zen-contemporary type of furnitures. I am just crossing my fingers that we'll be able to build our dream home in 7 years. Labels: home fixtures

Oatmeal Cookies, anyone?
I was supposed to do some baking last week and I realized that our overn is not working. Bummer! I was really excited over making chocolate chip cookies and cream filled cupcakes but as I have said, all the excitement was ruined by that 'effing oven. The other day, a co-worker offered me some oatmeal cookies and this made me think that I should be doing oatmeal cookies instead. It's more healthy and I am sure, it is ephedra free so it's safe and won't cause any harm to the body. Add to that that oatmeal are proven to help absorb those fats in our body. Maybe next next week, I will be able to bake some oatmeal cookies! :) Labels: health and living

Caught in the Act
I recently purchased a decent DSLR. My main purpose is to shoot Terrence's portraits. I am really excited about it. We still have a camcorder but I am thinking whether I should get one of those camcorders that have HD and widescreen features. At this point though, I think that shopping for one is an unnecessary expense so it can take the backseat. Perhpas, the money in my Paypal account (and I am still saving btw) will be used in purchasing the Nikon 80-200mm VR. I am going to attend a photography workshop this August in Intramuros and I am hoping I can learn the most out of it. Labels: shopping
