Make Some Changes

Are you in a rut? Bored? Well how can we solve that? Here are some simple tips for you. Make some changes in your life. Change your schedule. Take a little vacation, somewhere quiet and far from your home and work even if it's just for the weekend. If you’re bored with your job and you think you can easily adjust with a new job then transfer to a new one. I’ve already did that last year when I feel like I’m bored with what I’m doing everyday of my work life.

I told myself that it’s not the career that I want for myself so better get out of it. I resigned and concentrate on my family while earning some bucks from online job. Now I’m a happier Mom, wife and I have more quality time for my family. Just small changes can jar you loose from the old rut and spark a new interest in your life. So it’s up to you what small changes are you willing to take just to have an exciting life again. Remember that boredom can sometimes bring you to some depression so get out of it.

Sophisticated Volvo

From what I can remember almost all men I know likes car. I came to know this since I was a child with my father’s flair for nice cars which I also saw in my brother, cousin and now my husband. Men like cars since they’re little boys and you can see it through their cute little toy cars and miniature model cars. My brother has started with a pickup to use for his new construction business then he shifted to a car for a more professional look and now he has a four-wheel drive car that he used for monitoring all his residential projects. His love for cars is not only a whim as its also useful to him; it’s actually a necessity for many of us.

There are also some people who just want to collect cars as their hobby and we know these are the well to do people who can afford to buy expensive cars on their whim only. For those people who don’t really mind investing on cars they look for elegance, performance and style they want in a car and they can find it in the new 2010 volvo C30, with the usual style of a two-door hatchback of the S40 sedan and V50 wagon.

For those who loves sophisticated look inside and out this is the car for them as it boasts of a good interior design incomparable with other cars. With its improved racier shape you could be traveling around town in elegance and sophisticated style. It’s called the wild child of the Volvo family. It’s not what you can call a sports car but it has a good performance.

RT/WW : Sleeping Princess

Eyes half-closedEyes fully closed (sound asleep)

No she's not a princess but her name is. Just love this cute sleeping photo of our dear Princess when she was just 2 months old with her Mom holding her. It's actually her first photo shoot when after some clicks and shots she suddenly yawned and sleep while taking her pictures. I found her cute while sleeping so I didn't stopped. She's my first cousin's granddaughter so I'm her granny also (young granny of course lol).

Feeling Dizzy

I’ve been feeling bad this morning and maybe this is due to my PMS, I’m just writing some posts but will rest later. Just can’t focus when my head is aching and eyes are itching. I was hoping early this day that I’ll be able to finish my workload but dizziness prevents me from doing too much work. Mom is telling me to give myself a break for at least two hours to nap, rest and relax but I’ll stop when I reached my own quota of work because I don’t want doing work on deadlines it gives me a lot of pressure. While I’m looking for some ways to lessen my headache my niece is asking me some tips on getting rid of blackheads because she has two on her face and it ruins her flawless face complexion. Teenagers are really a handful sometimes that they can’t seem to have proper timing. Oh well I guess she really needs some attention now, she’s giving me too many questions.

My Phobia

You Are Acrophobia

You are the fear of heights.
It's likely that you expect bad things to happen to you. You often feel unlucky.

It would be just your luck to fall from a high spot... and you're not going to chance it.
You tend to be pretty risk adverse. You rather be safe than sorry.

This is really true, I'm afraid of heights and I never had a chance to ride a ferris wheel, a vinta, space shuttle, roller coaster or anything like that. Well I'm not so coward as you'll think but I'm just not a risk taker. I rather be safe than sorry and it's pretty convenient to be like that.

Relief for my Mom’s Joint Pains

My Mom complains of joint pains because of her arthritis that’s always making its presence known when the weather is very low or when it’s very cold. I always see her putting some herbal oil on affected joints when she’s in pain and in minutes it’s all gone. She even used the same herbal oil on me whenever I suffer from severe backache. My Auntie gave the oil to her several months ago and she said it’s one of the Chinese herbal oil that’s proven to relieve some muscle pains. It can be used also on other sickness that’s why it’s called best herbal oil. Sometimes I’m thinking if it’s better if Mom should have joint supplements that will not only give natural joint pain relief but will help also to improve and strengthen her joints. I’ve already given her vitamins for bones and joints few years back but it didn’t work as it was advertised on television. It’s better to consult doctor before taking any supplement.

Earning While Taking Care of the Kids

I was trying to remain awake as I have many tasks to do. Actually it’s not my due date but I want to do my work ahead of schedule to prevent date miscalculations and expirations. I was really tired from house chores but sitting in front of my PC gives me some relaxation I guess because I’m really this kind of person that when I’m tired physically I can’t rest until my mind would be tired also.

Funny or weird but that’s what I developed when I had this job of always beating the deadlines of submitting proposals for certain million worth government projects. It was a life that you’ll not wish coming back for because even if you need to rest and sleep you can’t go home until the proposal is not finished and submitted on time. I’m glad that I was able to decide a different life outside the demanding corporate world. In my present job I earn and still can take care of my family all the time. Isn’t it a blessing? I’m so thankful!

Sensitive Skin

My daughter has developed some sensitivity in her feet since she was a toddler and we’re so careful in buying slippers and shoes for her. I always choose the best materials that will ensure non-allergenic properties to protect Ruth from having skin disease on her feet like allergy, eczema and some other results of feet sensitivity.

Now that she’s a big girl already I noticed that she can wear more styles and materials of slippers but still prone to some itchiness when she’s not comfortable with what she’s wearing. I always try to check her feet if it’s too dry or sore because that’s my symptoms that she’s getting allergy or sensitive to some factors. MIL gave me a very good ointment that can cure mild allergies and can be used also on general skin disorders. I hope that she’ll develop a daily regimen of watching on her delicate skin so she can prevent skin disorders on her feet. She’s still a toddler at heart and in her ways sometimes that I still remind her on how to take care of her feet.

:Food Friday - Breakfast Cravings!

This is one of my specialty because it happens to be my favorite also, actually i love all kinds of pasta especially the white sauce varieties. This one was our breakfast today as we're all craving for some more. I've cooked spaghetti sauce last Tuesday (Gen's birthday) more than I need so I can store some of it in our freezer and today I've cooked half kilo pasta and just taken the frozen sauce out of the ref and voila I have yummy spaghetti in 30 minutes! Breakfast should be served before 6am before my girls' school service so I'm super fast in cooking breakfast for them. We always have heavy breakfast like rice and pasta as I believe in having a full stomach in the morning so my kids can think fast and be alert and healthy when they go to school.

Happy Food Friday to all, see other yummy foods here!
