Do I need to lose some weight???

Maybe hubby is already irritated hearing this from me a lot of times.

Sometimes, I really get so conscious about my weight. Not just because of the physical aspect. I am also concerned about my entire well-being. There are a lot of negative effects that being fat can cause.

That is why I am looking for the some diet pills which I can use just in case I need to have drastic weight loss.

I am bored! Everything seems so mundane, and I am not motivated to do those tasks over and over again. I am stuck watching this Filipino channel which airs the same programs three times a day. Hay!

I have seen this nice tv deals which offer a lot of channels. I hope this can be the answer to the boredom that is eating me up! I also hope that hubby will avail of this very nice offer.

Hubby has been skipping breakfasts for almost two weeks now. He is currently in “water therapy” mode. No, he is not sick. He just realized the need to really take good care of himself, most especially his health. I am definitely supporting him all the way.

He also intends to do exercise at home, but he does not have the time. When he has no work, he devotes most of his attention to the kids. He always makes it a point to bond with the kids every chance he gets.

I am saving up some spare cash to buy my dear hubby ellipticals he can use to make himself fit. I know he will really appreciate this. I am just sad that I was not able to buy it for Father’s Day. Maybe I will just give it to him on his birthday.

I am amazed at how fast my kids are learning each day. At 3 years, Kuya Marc can already read a lot of words. Matt can already recite the alphabet from A to Z, and can count from 1 through 10! They make me and Dade proud parents!

This reminds me of one featured story of a dog trainer who painstakingly did his best to teach his dogs some tricks. It was so amazing! He has some dog ramps around his house. His dogs are all very smart!

It really takes a great deal of patience to teach your kids, and, more so, your pets. But in the end, you’ll be so gratified to see the fruits of your labor.

Hey, Ma! It’s been quite a while. I’ll be brutally frank, but I’m sorry for many things have happened to me since the day we’ve been away that I haven’t realized that it has been nearly 10 years. I don’t know whether this calls for a celebration or this deserves a cold shoulder.

I don’t even know what to tell you right now.

Okay, let me start by greeting you a happy birthday. I can still recall the last celebration we had. Your friends from Pateros all came to visit you and to make your day extra special. I know you must have felt delighted to see all of them wishing you well. After a long time of not seeing each other, they still exerted some effort to reach out to you. Which made me ask, “Are you really that kind-hearted person to deserve it?” Most likely, yes.

Aside from those people, a whole lot more can attest the purity of your heart. You’re every inch a true definition of a woman of strength, courage and grace. You have all these traits which made you an almost perfect model to look up to.

But, of course, as human, you are entitled to commit mistakes. You have made a lot of them! You have made a great deal of mess with some things you should have carefully dealt with. I’ve seen you fall but I’ve been bare witness of how you rose up and fought all your battles. Ma, I just can’t help but say I wish I could be half as strong-willed as you are.

When I was in my early stages of my journey in motherhood, I had a lot of queries in my mind that I thought only you could answer. But after a while, it just came to me that I didn’t really need your presence to provide me all the responses I wanted to have. No one else taught me about motherhood but you. All the things you’ve done for us are enough to make me the person and the mother and the wife that I am right now.

In that aspect of your life, motherhood that is, I’ll tell you, you’ve been the best! Not because you’ve raised children who turned out to be successful in life. No, Ma, we’re not yet there! You’ve been the best because you’ve instilled in us the strength which made us go on even if you’re not around. Of course, we’ve had our shares of miseries but everything you taught us were enough to keep us fighting despite all the pains.

Kuya and I miss you so much, Ma! It’s such a pity that you’re not around to kiss your adorable grandchildren. They’re all so cute that I bet, you’ll surely go gaga over them! I remember you told me you want to see them before you go. But I know you’re watching over them from where you are right now.

I love you, Ma! So sad I wasn’t able to let you hear this.

I have spent a lot of hours learning about this new thing which really caught my fancy. I am currently doing my online researches and painstakingly take the time to read all the information I have gathered whenever I have the time. I hope that I will have the chance to implement everything I have learned in the soonest possible time.

While surfing the internet, I have seen this Symbol LS2208. I did not know what it is so I tried to read more about it. I found out that it is a bar code scanner. Okay, so now I know!

I have heard that my tita was looking for the best diet pill available in the market. She was already serious about losing weight because her health was already being affected by her being overweight. This is a good news!

I am really happy with her decision, and I think I will help her in looking for a diet pill that will suit her. I will also try to search for some natural weight loss methods which I believe is a safer option. My tita used eating as an outlet for her depression and stress. And I will make her realize the need to change her way of life. If not, then all her efforts will be in vain.

I have always wanted to earn a master’s degree. But since circumstances do not allow me to do that right now, I am thinking about getting an online degree. But it is hard to find a legitimate online university offering affordable master’s degree courses.

I have seen one online university, Lewis University Online, offering some courses in masters information security. This type of program will help the students to enhance their problem-solving skills and rational thinking. It equips the students with the needed technological and managerial techniques required in handling and securing business and government agencies in the risks and threats with data privacy.

I think I would have to recommend this to my aunt who graduated with the bachelor’s degree in Computer Science. She once said to me that she was interested in working in a government agency, so I bet this would help her.

Last night, hubby and I had some misunderstanding. Again, it was just out of some petty things. I have said something that really made him upset. I was actually surprised when I realized that he was already getting mad because that was meant to be a joke. Okay, I admit it was half-meant. In short, that joke was followed by an exchange of hurtful words. But after a while, I chose not to answer back anymore. Hmmm, it would be better not to say anything which would I regret by the time my head cools down. You can never ever retrieve the words which already went out of your mouth.

Before we slept, I approached and hugged him. Luckily, I was able to set my pride aside. It was not easy, but I asked myself if it was worth all the fight. Sometimes, you really have to choose your battles very well. It is not very easy, especially when you tend to hold on so much to your pride and to your own judgment.

Who am I talking about?

My friend Rizha! …my twin sister… my partner in crime…

I have never talked or chatted with her for a long while. We just exchanged a few messages in SMS, friendster and multiply. But somehow, I felt we’re missing on a lot of things. It also seemed to me that things were not the same anymore, and it would be so hard to bring back the kind of friendship we shared then. But I am happy that, our friendship stood the test of time and distance.

Rizha and I have do not really have a lot of things in common. And so, I cannot pinpoint the reason why we enjoyed each other’s company. I am sentimental, she is not. She’s highly organized, I am not. But we both loved FUN! There was never a dull moment when we were together.

My good friend surely knows how much I love and treasure her. What she might not know is the degree of my admiration to this very fine lady. Yes, she laughs as loud as I do. She can drink a lot and mess just a little whenever she does. But for me, she is still the kind any girl will envy and any guy will love.

I admire the strength that springs within her. No adversary can ever bring her down. Crying is a big no-no for her. She can easily dismiss any negative thought that may cause her to feel low. She never allow her vulnerabilities get the better of her. Being the crybaby that I am, I could not help but wish to have this quality.

There was this one time that we were exchanging some sentiments over text messages, and she told me that she wanted to cry at that particular moment because ever since she started working, she did not give herself to cry her heart out. I told her that once in a while, people need a little sob.

I miss this friend of mine. I wish that our dreams of being together… in a far away land… together with our own families… with our kids sharing the same friendship that we have… will come true in God’s time.
