Gained Weight Through The Years

I had an enjoyable night with high school batch mates. I came to see all batches of my alumni high school from the 60’s up to the younger generations. Actually we didn’t notice some as we’re so busy with our own batch mates. I think we’re the noisiest there as some other keeps on staring at us. Well most alumni especially ladies have gained pounds and you’ll have to be so familiar with them to recognize at once.

For our batch we’ve seen half of us last December in our Silver Anniversary and though most are quite on the large size we’re thankful that we don’t need weight loss surgery Mexico now. We can resort to other ways of losing weight like proper food diet plan, plenty of exercise minutes and the most important thing in dieting which is discipline. You can’t do all your plans of shedding off excess pounds without proper discipline. Control and discipline are two of the tested logical ways of losing weight.

What Nut Are You?

You Are a Cashew

You are laid back, friendly, and easy going.
Compared to most people, you have a very mild temperament.
You blend in well. You're often the last person to get noticed.
But whenever you're gone, people seem to notice right away!

This is all true but I'm temperamental, I'm just good at hiding an controlling it. Since I became a born-again christian I've been fighting for my temper. I'm a joyful and very friendly person but when someone betrayed me my temper needs to be controlled.

Printed Boxes for Old Documents

Our house needs general cleaning and inventory of furniture, books and many old things from the past. It was a renovated ancestral house so it contains all the old documents, paintings and every little thing that remained from the past. To do all cleaning and sorting out I think I’ll a week or two because I can’t do it on a full time basis as I have my work too. I’ll be doing what I’ve done when I resigned from my job. I bought some printed boxes and put all the past years’ important documents and labeled each box I’ve completed for easy handling and storage. Well when it comes to sorting things up I can be depended upon.

Reserving Venue for Graduation

My friend and parent president for the graduating class of SJES dropped by the house and showed me the venue pictures she found for us to hire. It’s just one village away from the school and the fee is so low. The place is big enough for 500 persons which includes students and parents/guardians. The gymnasium which was used by the previous graduates was now being occupied by the victims of the big flood and they still live there so that left us with no choice but to find a big place for the event. The school’s new stage and ground can’t accommodate the needed 500 plus seats so Janet has to secure another place. We’ll just wait for the fixed graduation date to keep things moving. Meanwhile Janet has already reserved the last week of March then we’ll set a meeting for the whole PTA graduation officers and that’s it!

Stylish and Chic Maternity Clothing

I posted on my other blog a picture of my little boy when he’s barely two years old and we joked him about it. We asked him if it’s his little brother and he answered that it’s him when he’s still fairer because now he’s getting darker because of too much playing around the compound. Since yesterday I coax him into sleeping in the afternoon instead of playing as he can play after the intense afternoon heat is over. At first I will make him sit beside me and tell him stories that I know he would like hearing and when he’s into my bait I will make him sleep. When we were having breakfast with hubby he told us that it would be fun if he has a little brother so he has someone to play with when her sisters are in the school. Josh is already schooling but his school hours are limited to two hours only and he misses his sisters when he gets home. When I have no rush with my tasks we go to a small shopping malls a few kilometers away and just go around there, shop and eat.

When Josh talks about having a little brother I remember how exciting, fun and at the same time hard to be pregnant. I was a working Mom then so I can’t give in to the usual siesta sleeping in the afternoon. What I like when I’m pregnant are the pretty maternity clothes my husband is buying for me. He really makes time to help me choose my clothes because I do need it for my office clothes. Unlike stay-at-home Moms I have to look formal enough even when pregnant though at times it’s fine to be casual. Choosing the right color and style was an exciting task because there are several maternity dresses that’s good for specific occasions and usage. The only thing that I have to remind myself is style, comfort and fit for working. All maternity clothes I have are dresses and all are comfortable enough to work and travel.

When I’m surfing around I get to see good sites for maternity lines for women. Most are offering maternity clothing like the Apple Seed Boutique which offers stylish and chic maternity clothes for fashionable Mom and children’s clothing. They also have gifts for mom and baby, diaper bags, organic skincare and many more. Visit the boutique and see their stylish maternity lines.

:RT/WW - Super Grand Mom!

I want to share a pic of my Mom and Josh on our way to my niece' birthday. This was 4 years ago when Mom takes care of my little boy while I'm working in BT&T. I just felt so happy that Mom has taken care of my two bigger daughters and my little boy when I was not yet ready to leave my work then. She has given all her time and attention watching over Josh all day and spending all her time and efforts to him. She taught him many things, she's a retired elementary teacher that's why she's very capable of honing Josh learning capabilities. Josh didn't want to write anything then, they just spent the day talking to each other and from there Josh learned many things. He's got a super Grand Mom.

Administering Kid's Medicines

Josh has some cough and I started to monitor again his intake of ascorbic acid, cough syrup and anti-bacterial. He’s very active in the house playing, reading, writing, coloring his books and many other things he chose to do so I monitor the time he should be taking his medicines. Proper food, enough rest and right medicines should be administered to kids like him to ensure fast recovery from sickness. I don’t want him to be in a hospital so I’m taking good care of him at the early stage of sickness. Hospitalization can also cost further expenses except if you have health card or insurance like that of Blue Cross NC health plans. Anyway he doesn’t look sick at all as he’s the same lil boy who’s so funny and full of stories to tell.
