my life, my world, my blog

I've been addicted to it few years back. And when I've had a problem with my digestion, I know that laxatives won't fail me. True, it did but since the moment I started to take it, I feel like I am always starving. It didn't help me in terms of losing weight. In fact, I have gained about 5 lbs. since then. Now, all I have to do is rely on natural ways of dieting... Awww, that means that I have to lessen my food intake...Calorie meter, where are you now???

I'm off for the weekend and here are my list of what-to-do: 1) get myself a haircut 2) have my hair coloured 3) get a massage and a good body scrub 4) probably sleep for 10-12 hours every night 5) mani-pedi and foot spa 6) have a facial treatment It's been long overdue and I owe a lot to myself. it won't hurt so much to spend some quality time pampering yourself. I'll be a totally different individual come Monday... ciao!!!

It's not a secret, I came from a broken home. My dad left us when I was 9 and he met his other woman while he was just working abroad. It started out as a not-so-serious kind of thing until he got the girl pregnant. It was my mom who helped my dad to land a job in EEI and when they parted ways and sold some of their conjugal properties (including the almost-done house in Lipa , Batangas ), my dad was never able to step foot again in K.S.A. It was a trying time for me. I never had a dad who would be there to support me not just financially but emotionally, too. I salute my mom for making ends meet just to give me a brighter future. I took up a course in I.T. at that time but I landed a job in admin. Since then, I have always been the bread winner. If my dad didn't leave us, I might have taken up law. I might have pursued my dream. But everything happened for a reason and I know God has his ways. Growing up was never easy. I got used to the fact that my mom pampered me so much. ...

I didn't like hungarian sausage (the one that you can buy in groceries) at first but when I tried Country Styles version, it became my all-time favorite. It tastes really good. With tabasco hot sauce, you can never go wrong. Trivia: Kolbász is the Hungarian word for sausage.

I took up a course in I.T. and ended up in Human Resources. It was my former boss who absorbed me to HR Department and assigned me to take charge in timekeeping. Now that I'm on my 9th year with HR Department, I'm in charge of everything. As years passed by, I came to realize that I.T. is not just for me. I should have taken up law instead. Labor Codes, Family Code and Civil Code just interests me more than any other programming languages. Since then, I have always wanted to become a lawyer. If it isn't too late, I would want to pursue my dream but I guess, regrets will forever be regrets. At my age, I know it's too late to change my career path. I don't want to start all over again!

i will never ever consider myself VAIN !!! truth is, i barely put on make up everyday. i rarely brush my waist length hair. I'm not addicted to salons, to spa's, to derm care clinics... in short, I'm a low-maintenance person... With regards to fashion, I wear anything that's comfortable even if it doesn't look good on me... I'm not a fashionista, though on special ocassions, I try to be presentable as much as I can be... But lately, everything that you can read here in my blog are tips on staying beautiful. I'm not a beauty consultant nor a self-confessed little miss vanity, but all I want is to share everything that I know with regards to home remedies for a more beautiful persona.

I've always had long hair. To date, my hair already touches my waist but it has grown this much cause I no longer trust stylists here in Manila... dilemma # 1 bangs looked good on me since high school and i asked a woman from the parlor to just cut my bangs. as in straight bangs, not layered bangs... but it turned out that she insisted what she wants. A layered bangs that made me a gladys guevarra look-alike! Since then, ako na lang ang naggugupit ng bangs ko! dilemma # 2 when i was younger, i've had a problem with a certain brand of shampoo. my mom would always buy this brand even if i keep on telling her that it doesn't suit me well. i'm having dandruff with it... when i went to the salon, that woman kept on telling me that I have flakes all over. she was like repeating it over and over again that it annoyed me. there were like other customers seated just meters way from me and they probably hear what this hair cutter has to say... i know, having dandruff is j...

tried sit-ups, tried low-carb diet, tried laxatives... been there, done that... now what??? let's just give myself some time, besides, it's barely a week for you to see what i've worked so hard for... flat tummy, i might succeed this time!!!

if there's one thing that i badly need now the most, well it's for me to soul search... i long wanted to get away from all the hustle and bustle in the metro. i want to redeem myself... i want to think things through... i want to get away from all the problems and most of all, i want to know who i really am and what i really intend to do with my life... at 30, i can only say so much... my life is just so boring... mundane indeed... a trip to tagaytay was my first option but i still had to consider a lot of factors... on where to stay, when to go there, how long will be my soul searching, what happens to my job, what happens when i come back... what if i make up my mind and make a sudden turn of events? what if i finally decide to migrate somewhere else and forget everything that had happened for the past seven years that i became independent... i don't know what my priorities will be after the much sought soul searching but i can only do so much... will i go for it or w...
