Exposure

Not that I am going to post anything about something obscene or talent and what not.. It's simply about legs 😂😂.. It's been so long that I am not wearing any kind of clothes that will expose my legs. It started when I get pregnant to my second baby. I got some allergies that leave scars to my skin. Since I am not into cosmetics that will help remove or reduce scars and I am also not fond of vegies, I immediately gave up the fight of a good skin.

I am into shorts and skirts during the time that I only have my first born which is also one root of me and my husband's misunderstanding. Then when the time that I initiate not wearing those, I think my husband was the happiest on my decision. 
Just recently that I realized that my scars were no longer visible, there were some but can't barely notice. I wore a dress to a birthday party. It's been so long and I felt a little ashamed but husband said it's okay. Besides we borrowed my brothers car, maybe one reason my husband agreed on me wearing that. We need not to travel commuting from one ba/puv to another. I felt I was like a teen, the time when we met the first time. It gives me additional feeling of confidence. (regains confidence actually) I think I can buy clothes that I want.. hmmm 🤔

Reunited

I just love being with these most mean girls..
Kudos to Vanessa's hubs for preparing the meal. It's a sneak getaway nearby, very limited but full of fun, from call time to part ways time. No minutes wasted.

Frustration Diverts to Shopping

This topic I am posting maybe not so new to those who frequently visited my blog. I am a hopper. Yes a call center hopper. I am not proud of it cause I know the implication of it was that I have an attitude problem. I admit I had. Accepting the fact helps me realize things and worked on to change it. As a new born mother everything was changed. Feels like I am an android cellular phone that experience a total reboot. From perceptions to goals. Everything changes. Only one thing that remains the same to me, I assumed, it's about me being optimistic. Today it is more strengthens. I believe that everything happens for great reasons and I will not be part of something if I am not going to learn anything about it. Of course I am a human that also feels frustrated at times and if this feeling comes along the way only one thing that makes me composed and positive again. Browsing at Zalora. Since 2009 that I started this guilty pleasure of online shopping. I am not that addictive perhaps 30 % of my online income went to online purchases. After making an assessment of myself, I got to learned that managing it as well will making me to be a better person. No denials, no defense mechanism. Accepting and working on how to turn things positively.

The Problem with a Monetized Blog

Once upon a time a not so writer writing this post enjoys reading blogs. Personal blogs that has real stories and real experiences. She loves blog hopping, truthfully commenting, knowing other bloggers life updates and adventures and learning from their experiences. But that was ONCE UPON A TIME.

As I am having difficulties managing my time being a first time mother and instant two children, my passion in reading other's blogs suddenly disappear. As I recognize upon reading their post becoming more and more of an advertisement. Of coarse I understand, I as well as I am also doing advertised post, but for some I read , no more life story related post. For the sense of earning, the essence of real blogging (I assumed knowing the authors) decreasing its quality. The feelings that used to be incorporated in every post becoming null. I felt sad for I have known some bloggers in the blogosphere whom used to blog to chronicle life experiences.  I am not enjoying reading some blogs anymore if in one glance I saw that it is a sponsored post. Also it so rare that you can see a real helpful link. Most of the links incorporated in a post were advertisement. I am not against advertising and earning thru blogs. Actually I am hoping and praying that my blogging life will be fruitful. The thing that I am concerned about is reading realistic articles. Wrap with emotions posts. I used to read numerous blogs that I've known for years a diary blogs but visiting their blog now is like visiting a newspaper on the net. So dull, emotion less, and more links and ads. I am happy for them , for that means lots of income, but I know I am not the only one who wants to read real stories from their blogs. Especially those blogs that were very helpful such as parenting blog, tips and how to's etc. I guess this is one big disadvantages of bloggers having a Facebook account. They do not write on their blogs to share anymore instead post it on their Facebook account.*sigh*

False Impression

This is just a compilation of thoughts that had happened the good old days. I find it interesting seems recently, I've noticed that my blogs were being visited by teeners. Sharing this old thoughts might be helpful.
I am no perfect teen. I did a lot of mistakes and adventures. I am happy and got no regrets, but one thing I am always sure of, I know my limitations. Most of the time I disobey mom but she never knew or she did but on the later end. My promise to myself is to never disappoints my family especially mom. So if I have to be happy and careless, it's all on me and with my nasty friend world only. The thing that I love most on my teenage days was the part were I am involve into guys. That involvement got nothing to do with a male female relationship instead a one of the boys stage. I've got to learn and understand some real good and bad and even nasty guys perceptions about gals.  To sum it all up, I have learned that most types of guys did not love the first girl that they've got attracted to. If for some reason they end up together, a long journey of misery on the first chapter of their married life. Now that I am happily married and friends and peers with almost the same age was too, I've got the chance to prove that observation.

The following statement has stories and real life characters that I knew personally. But not necessarily means situations present only to one person. It's a compilation.

A hot chick will always be gorgeous in every guys eyes but never be an ideal girl.

A sosy girl will always be noticeable and seemed to be cool but never be a dream girl.

A girl who always shows her assets is like a vendor that always had  high profits and guy will only give 30% chance of making their  relationship seriously.

A simple girl with a former campus crush boyfriend was 90%  not  virgin .

A feeling cool/feeling close girl doesn't always seemed cool to guys instead taking advantage of her attitude that she can take more meaner and worst treatments and let her gave up being a feeler.

A sophisticated girl is always a dream girl.

A firm and proper girl were always top subjects of maniac guys. 

Guys were interested to make butch a female.

Having the campus crush girl is only always a trophy for guys.

Teenage life is more of a complications, in order to survive you have to set goals and be concise . And true as what elders always say never focus to relationships instead set it as a part time life bonus.

Neutral: Avoiding Misunderstandings

Being a stay at home mom means limiting my hangouts with my true and real friends. Of coarse what to expect, I am a mom of a toddler and expecting on the way for the second time around, no more time for going out with friends. The more that I stay at home, the more I get to know my not so good neighbors. I am not good either especially to their eyes or to everyone's eyes in our neighborhood. But this is my blog and my insights has the right to be placed on here. Knowing most of them, especially those that were not so old but not the same age as mine, I am so much thankful I have this life that I chose. Indeed, I now accepted the fact that my current situation is not because I am out of choice but because this is actually what I have chosen. It just too late before I realized the fact. Also being a SAHM, in order to avoid making gossips about others life on my free time (though parang wala naman akong free time), blogging is more addicting and more productive. One more thing, I also see Facebook as a form of virtual gossiping. Not good either. Now I prefer my social networking accounts more of a communication bridge solely. I opted the unnecessary notifications.
Back again, the reason why I wrote this post is about being thankful for always. For the blessings; the trials; the good and the bad that happens in my life and literally for everything. I learned that it is better to look it that way than to keep on complaining of life's offerings. Why I hate so much social interaction outside home. Their delivering bad vibes and instead their convincing me to hate anybody in the community, they were just teaching me to be mad at them. Most of the people around complaining on the life they had right now, to be more of a neutral conversational (those times that I can't find a way to escape), Just keep on saying you have a choice to so the right thing you think you should do. Yeah, that's what they always heard on me. Never give a piece of trash talk or opinion about others. (mahirap na mgkakapitbahay lang kame! hmpf). I only talk to those people I really trusted but sad to say other than my family and real friends, got no other options in the neighborhood.

Hope This Will Last the Soonest

As part of the process of pregnancy regarding hormone level changes, I am suffering a something unusual (for me) symptoms. I am well informed and understood about this but still can't help but complain especially I am seeing my skin being tortured as wounds making my skin ugly. Besides this is my second pregnancy that I didn't suffer on my first. That's why I have lots of questions in my mind on where did I am lack of. Ironically though I know such facts still I questioned. Funny how I master my subject in college in particular with maternal and child and now that I am in the that stage I am having a hard time believing theories. Maybe I am just in denial and thinking that I might be exempted. heehee. But I am hoping this little rashes turned to wounds will heal the soonest. I am doing everything natural I can to treat it and reduced the damage into my skin. Also the fact that I am already an adult, wound scar will not vanish by itself at all and I need to exert a lot of effort to bring back the clean skin I used to have. As I kid into others, I don't have that super pretty face nor charm and even  a fair glowing skin that everyone can appreciate once I am seen but the only external features to be noticed is my clean brown skin. Now that it wasn't that clean, I felt like all my confidence turned to its lowest level and I am having a hard time working with the confidence itself if I am seeing such glitch around my legs. Everybody around cheering me up for it will vanish once I gave birth. I understand indeed it will but the marks won't. (sigh). Anyway I still can managed just as long as I am thinking that this ugliness is in exchange of a healthy gorgeous and lovable baby coming out by September.

I Can Be Body Beautiful at Any Age with Wacoal

As a first time mom, I experienced troubling with myself concerning figure. I used to be a petite prior pregnancy that's why having a huge changes in my shape seriously affects my confidence. Good thing I have this resources that keep me feeding information how to be back in my old self confident mode. A friend introduces me to Wacoal products. It is not simply a brand of undergarments but a fashion that really helps boosts confidence of a woman.At first I was hesitant having one, assuming that this is the same as those brands who advertises promoting their product but nonetheless do nothing. Giving it a try make me say I made the right choice. It actually helps me contour my shape though I still have this post pregnancy fats. Making me a less chubby but instead voluptuous sexy mom. 

Having an excellent experience with their product and consistently checking their catalogs  makes me to be their unpaid and unknown endorser (ehehe). I used to recommend their products to my colleagues and friends whom suffer the same dilemma as mine after pregnancy and also to my mom and aunts, whom more of a fashionable grand moms.

Wacoal has this beautiful collection which will give a perfect fit to every woman at any age. Having a product from them is an investment that I can say. Though it will not be seen by others yet it will be complimented.

Pilipinas Got Talent Season 3 Winner

 Lavarkada Kids

Tonight is the judgement day for the finalist on Pilipinas Got Talent. Unlike the two season which I always watched, this third season I rarely did. Simply because I don't have time. But upon watching yesterdays grand finale performance I eyed for the contestants that those in groups. Like El Gamma Penumbra, Lavarkada Kids and Synergy. I am really amazed with their performance. The singers also did well, bu it will be monotonous( if I will be the judge err) if another singer will won. Besides there were lots of opportunity for those singers and dancers. I hope people will give a way for those undeniably group talents. Since winners will be based on text votes. I can't wait to know who will be the next winner. I will surely blog about it especially if it's one of my protege'..ahehehe

Great Holiday Gift Ideas That Are Cheaper Than You Think

Ever since the economy took a turn for worse over three years ago, every holiday season since has been a struggle to make as many people happy on the smallest budget as possible. This year, with unemployment staying stagnant, benefits extinguished, and optimism for near-term recovery diminished to near-zero, many families will unfortunately be facing the most minimalist of holiday gift-giving they've experienced yet. But with that said, great gift ideas can still come to fruition on a shoestring budget. You just have to know how to go about doing it (especially when it comes to pleasing the little ones).

NEW PHONES FOR THE KIDS

Depending on the age of your kids, cell phones may or may not be suitable. But regardless, they may not be economically viable for you. However, prepaid cell phones provide a great option for parents who are both skeptical about allowing their kids to have mobile devices and unwilling to pay for unlimited data. Kids won't know the difference between a smartphone that comes with a contract and one bought at Target. But at the end of every month, you'll definitely notice the difference in the bill.

GIFT CARDS FOR THE GRANDPARENTS

Gift cards sound like an economically smart solution. But $25 here and $50 there quickly adds up. To cut the costs of gift cards for your parents and for anyone else, take part in paid online surveys which reward you with gift cards to sites such as iTunes and Amazon. What's the difference between working directly for the gift cards you hope to give and paying for them with cash?

MUSIC

CD albums, iTunes, and the devices that play music are all pretty pricy. So have you heard about Pandora? Pandora is a free-to-use program subscribers can access through any computer, that plays music radio-style in accordance to pre-selected artists. Thumbs up the songs you like and thumbs down the songs you hate to fine-tune the selections to better reflect your tastes. This free app can come across as an awesome “gift” to youngsters not yet aware of the web's array of free services.

SOCIAL MEDIA

If you've been holding off on letting your kids get Facebook profiles, a great Christmas gift idea for cheap could be to grant them permission to create profiles. Most social media sites have a fair amount of latitude as far as parental controls go on profiles, which can help ease apprehensions as well as allow you to monitor the social media activity of your children. You won't find a cheaper gift idea than this one.

This holiday season is going to be a tough one for countless families. But a little ingenuity and extra work can make even the most modest of gift budgets out-perform your expectations. You may very well be setting a precedent that will make future holidays not only enjoyable, but also affordable.

Shopping

Who among girls wouldn't love shopping?! For females, this type of hanging out is a DE-stressing thing for us. We feel so good when we were at the mall buying what our wants!. What a guilty pleasure ayt?!

Though I am a not a fashionista or a boyish type I am also one of those  fem loves shopping. Name it anywhere! I like it too! Majority that stuff I bought or choose where not for me. I am generous to my family and what make me enjoy when shopping was the food after long hours of looking stuff. Yeah right I am more of a food after than stuff.

What made me post for this one?!

It's because of a 3 day 70% off to a known shopping mall here in Manila. How I wanted to go there and shop items for our arriving angel but then again I can't! It's because I am on the way to 37th weeks and my doctor said baby is ready and  may arrive anytime from now on. Basically it's not advisable to travel far and seize the busy buzz of the shopping mall. But wait! I still managed to take opportunity of that mall sale.hmmm! With my ever beloved husband who's willing to drop by fill my hunger for items to be shop. He had the list that I gave and will be back home with those. I know he doesn't love mall sale for it was so crowded yet he said yes without persuading him much!.

Spell Relax

I am done working with Gilay's blog. I am so glad that she like it. I can now rest myself from thinking. Glad that Ferry currently enjoys her layout and she was not yet bugging me..hehehehehe.. I can rest! Somehow I miss her bugging me but as of today, since it's a rainy cold weather, it feels so good to stay inside my blanket and listen be motivated (to be lazy Lol) Bruno Mars' Lazy song.. =)

GT Welcome Back Post: Special Place To Go

It's payback time! Now that schedule is not really tight I can now payback my shortcomings in my blogging life.

 

Here is the place I love to be back over and over again. There is not  much especial tourist spot but solemnly Huny and I love this place. We went here at the right time where we felt like we need to freshen' up our spiritual guide within each ourselves. It's like losing hope when we went to the place and leaving the it is really refreshing and uplifting. Huny got the chance to interact with the rectors. And I had the chance to explore the place. I promised to be back to this place again and of coarse with my the same  beloved trip-mate.. Huny.

Here is my share for todays GT! More place to explore just click the badge below.

Luci-Verna-Fer

I was the one who baptized her that name.lol  Why o why? Because she is. Though she didn't talk much and hanging around much I can feel she is. But being with her makes me feel weird to myself sometimes.Feeling weird. It started when I  enjoy Verna's (nff) company. I can say that most of our views and perception met halfway maybe that's why we love each others company though the 9 years age gap. With Verna I can be very me. Very natural, very lousy, loud and obscene if sometimes. No pretensions, no to "not to mention" and no to "perfect me world". We can talk everything under the moonlight. ( because we are on graveyard shift ..lol) But i feel so carefree with her. I feel so alive.. The feeling that she can be my third best friend who will knew me most.

Forever Green

I've been waiting for this color's turn at GT. This is my favorite and I can share a lot about it. How I am so obsessed with this one.Green is considered the color of peace and ecology.

How the color green affects us physically and mentally
* Soothing
* Relaxing mentally as well as physically
* Helps alleviate depression, nervousness and anxiety
* Offers a sense of renewal, self-control and harmony

I can still remember when we had a duty at National Center for Mental Health, before we will interact with the patients, we must first have an activity about knowing our owns personality, strength and weaknesses. It is a pre-requisite requirement before we had to be deploy to the patients. In this activity,as our homework  we are told to draw our hand in a white paper and it's up to us what we wanted to design the drawing. 

That night I forgot to do my assignment and I was only reminded by my Bru when we are already at the venue. I immediately made mine and gracias to my Bru she was prepared with her art stuffs to lend me.She gave me crayons, color pencils, pictures and colorful stickers and scrapbook thing. She almost brought her art gallery.lol I am not in a hurry making it because we are an hour earlier to our Clinical Instructor. Of all the materials Bru and my group mates provided me, this is only exactly what I made.

 

When our C.I arrived she instructed us to pass our homework and discussed each  homework to us how was our artworks speaks for our personality. I was asked why I made this one while my group mates made colorful and extravagant designs and Why I chose green. She let me heard my explanation and afterward explain to me what was my artwork means in text of Psychology. She told me the fingers serve as triumphs. In between was my chosen color serve as my attitude if I am in the middle of trouble. She told me using this colors shows that I am at cool facing troubles in my life, I am not into panic mode. Thinking and trying all possible solutions and if it still fails, never surrenders.  That I still belief that everything will turn out good eventually. That was what she said and all my group mates agreed and testify for me to believe my self's description based on it.. This is just a justification that brightened me that my favorite color reflects me.

More of my green stuffs follows.

 My green blouse, this serve as my lucky blouse, everytime I am APPLYING for a job I always wear this one and I am always fortunate wearing this! 

Huny (huny is not the subject this time:)) with my nephew in his green barong, my brother's, sister in law's wedding. 

  Me and Bhadz at Mall of Asia grounds with my green (good for tummy-less) shirt.(those were the times.(sigh) 

My pear glace VS gift from Tess. 

Green fruit from our Pomelo Tree.

 

 My Marvin the Martian Pillow of our baby Mhing -Mhing.

  I can't share a lot more(konti pa daw yun hihihi), my dear friends who will read this entry will get bored.Isn't it obvious that I like green a HUGE?! ^-^

More green stories? Just click the badge and enjoy.. Ciao! 

(P.S include my signature below it's GREEN too!) ^_^

Voila Violeta! (=

I thought that I will really cursed our intranet provider for the whole week that we will be longing for our connection. Finally after bombarding their customer service hotline, technical and email support we have now the connection back! Thank God it is back! Our customers almost asks if we will going to foreclosed (grrr) blame on Digitel!

By the way this post is for GT right? (=. For today's topic it's violet. Did violet and lavender is different? Hmm a lighter shade of violet I guess that was the one called lavender, which is the more I prefer than violet itself. I only like the shade of lavender because it is lighter and calming when you stare on it. I am not fond of the darker one. I remember when I was a child we have this councilor in our place who loves much of this color, violet. She wears everything violet from head to toe, even on her accessories. Seeing the color to her almost everyday plus the fact that she's on her 40's doesn't amazed me at all, actually I felt like I'm sick of it...hahahaha But that certain councilor temporarily leaves our place and my fascination to it's shade came back but as I have said only on the lighter one. I got to like it seeing in weddings, other special occasions and some seminar motifs during our last year in college.

taken last 2008 on our way to St.Anthony's Alumni Homecoming Event

Something that I own in Violet.. Here's my share my Huny. His Violet!..hehehe.. He's someone that I own. lol. Actually the share was our shirt hahaha. First pair that we have.. We are not into couple shirt (before)because it's some kind of obvious, our reason why we aren't into. But now it's okay with us and we're loving it though.

More Violetas?..come and see at
