I don't have a cracked heel, but i need to moisturize, soften, and soothe my dry heel...i've tried Earth Therapeutics' Tea Tree Oil (Foot Repair Balm), and Body Shop's Peppermint Cooling Pumice Foot Scrub, but both didn't work. I'm on my 3rd day using Ellgy and it seems to work fine with me, as i see a lot of improvement...thanks to my friend for introducing me to Ellgy...well you guys can try it...it could be the solution to your problem too
How time flies really...in two weeks, it's gonna be the 2nd Periodical Tests of the kids again...seems like only yesterday when i made them their reviewers...and now, here i am again helping them out...i've been doing their reviewers in my laptop in between work and blogging ;-) so far i've finished 3 subjects already and just 2 more to go (yipee...at last!)...
Read more...Almost every night before my husband goes to bed, he runs a slide show of all our photos...these are the two photos i love most...
My daughter seldom smiles whenever her picture is taken, but here...(actually i tickled her just to be able to give her dad a nice smile)
My son giving me a massage...how sweet...
I accompanied my husband to his pre-nuptial shoot at the Baywalk...i never tire going there if it means watching the sunset...
Patricia is attending a Swimming Party of one of her bestfriends (Jensine) tomorrow...so i went to Podium with a friend to get her a birthday present...on the way to the mall, this caught my attention...
Christmas is just around the corner
I asked my daughter what she wants to give her friend...she said..."Mom, the usual", which is...
then we had dinner at Cafe Breton...i ordered my favorite savoury crepe "Gallette Don Quijote", afterwhich i had my favorite coffee, Capucinno...
I volunteered to bring my guy friend to the airport last night, so he dropped by our house and we had dinner before proceeding to the airport...Josh strikes again...He goes like..."You look like a bakla (gay)"...Shucks, i didn't know what to say at that time, as i was surprised by what he said...gaining back my composure...i told him that if he does not have anything nice to say, he should keep his mouth shut...and i demanded that he apologize to our visitor...and he goes..."i'm sorry, but i think you still look like one...Oh man!!!! what will i do with this kid????

I have not cooked for a long time...i only cook on special occasions like Christmas and New Year...maybe i was inspired by the foodblogs i have read lately...
Here's my version of Pasta with Taba ng Talangka (Tiny Crab Fat)
Btw, this is the first time im doing this...i didnt realize that there's no need to use cheddar cheese :-) i sauteed everything in olive oil and placed a few drops of lemon juice...i also placed Knorr Pork Cubes to add more taste, and it worked...My kids loved it...they thought it was take out food from Cibo
(the restaurant we always go to when we crave for pasta)
My version of the Buffalo Wings
I coated the chicken wings and deep fried it, after which i cooked it again in the special sauce that i made...
I havent perfected it yet...well there's always room for improvement...my consolation? The kids appreciated what i did, as i didnt expect them to like the pasta.
I've been doing dance revolution twice a day since i got back...i have to, otherwise i wouldnt fit in my gown...oh man!!!Anyways, when my kids got home from school today, i was still at it...they watched me do it, (of course i should be at my best, hehehe)...then Josh said..."Mom, why dont you try the diet mode? (there is really a diet mode) since you are trying to lose weight...oh well, i havent thought of that...maybe my son knows the agony of losing weight, coz he keeps on asking me if its harder than the usual (i do training mode)...indeed it is!
Read more...I enjoyed my trip a whole lot...it was a treat for me too...My mom and I left for Iloilo (her hometown) at 5:10 am, Saturday, aboard Cebu Pacific...
Took us 1 hr and 30 mins to reach our destination...we stayed in this cute pink house (my neice's)...
According to my mom, Tigbauan is a sleepy town...well i cannot really blame her, the last time she was there was like 18 years ago...so we were both surprised and happy to find out that it was such a progressive town...and a very clean one too...roads were concrete...i was able to drive and bring around my mom to meet with her other relatives...
I completely forgot that i was on a diet...or did i? hehe...anyways, since im there i have to try each and every specialty like:
The Original La Paz Batchoy
We had dinner over at Breakthrough...(by the shore)
Food was real good there...was pigged out again *guilty*...well entirely forgot that i was on diet...had oysters, grilled squid and chicken, kinilaw (raw fish with coconut milk, green mango, onions, chili), crabs, etc...
And i had this for dessert...halo-halo
Their jeepney looked a little different from the ones we have here in manila...i should say that it's more beautiful and spacious...
Religion plays a major part in the lives of the people there...why do i say this? Well you see, my aunt is a protestant...since her husband(a catholic) was buried in the catholic cemetery, the family decided that she should be buried right beside her husband...would you believe, somebody called the Catholic church, informing them that my aunt couldnt be buried there since she is not a catholic...anyways, after much convincing, they allowed it...and while we were at the cemetery, somebody (geez...worst, he was even one of the relatives) made a scene with his speech...
he was trying to stop the pastor (thinking that we were to have a service)...tsk, tsk, i was really dumbfounded...he could just have asked secretly if we were having a service...but he chose to speak...in front of all his relatives...oh well...
I will be accompanying my mom to her hometown in Iloilo to be at the wake and burial of her elder sister...we'll be leaving tomorrow at 5 am and will be back on Monday...this is my first time to visit Tigbauan, Iloilo...i really do not know what to expect...just too bad, i cant explore the place...
Read more...Pretty In Pink...Is it? I've run out of designs for my nail art...and this is what i thought of...
and my daughter finds it cool...probably because it's pink? you know how girls are...as long as its pink...then its pretty!
i've to search the internet for more interesting designs again...
I have to lose my unwanted fats in 30 days...yes 30 days...so i dont need to have a gown made...I was asked to be one of the principal sponsors in the wedding of Bona and Mike (Bona being the youngest sister of one of my closest friends Angie)
I have to double time on my workout, especially the abs section...my my...i dont know, ive been doing sit ups but nothing is happening...i am still bloated...huhuhu...i have this abdoer at home so i thought this would help...but i forgot how to go about it...i had to watch the vhs...too bad, i didnt know that our vhs player wasnt working (the tape got stuck)...geez i have to bring it to the service center...anyways, i tried surfing the net for some instructions, but this is what i found out instead...that all these machines doesnt help you in burning the unwanted fats...oh...really?...it only helps strengthen/build up the muscles...so no wonder...it's only thru cardio/aerobic exercises, and you have to do it the moment you wake up in the morning (without any food intake) so that you'd be burning the fats...so i thought of doing the dance dance revolution, instead of going to the gym.
I'm not in the medical field or anything...but i discovered that its more comfy sleeping in a scrub suit...so here i am, ready for bed...*yawns*...nyt nyt everyone...zzzzz
I got an mms(her pic) from my cuz who is now in the States...She is really enjoying every bit of her stay there...
I can't wait for you to come home cuz...enjoy the rest of your stay there...and while you are away, we'll surely miss you (we're watching a movie this friday with yeng, since you are not here...well...hehehe...beh)
I attended the press launch of GMA 7's new soap "Forever In My Heart" with Regine Velasquez, Richard Gomez and Ariel Rivera as the lead stars...i dont usually have my picture taken with the stars, but geez, richard is so goodlooking...couldnt resist...
oh man! i didnt know that there was a presscon, otherwise i could have put on make-up...do i look like richard's girl friday here? hehe
and here we are...all smiles...but why that faraway look richard?
with Asia's Songbird, Regine Velasquez
Cindy Kurleto, your glasses looks familiar huh!
and wow! what a coincidence, same glasses with Nelson? hehe
We went to watch the sun set at the boardwalk along roxas blvd yesterday...Joshua had so much fun walking around...but Patricia was too scared, didnt even want to go near the water
relaxing and having fun...kids trying to make faces...
We hope to do this again...hopefully by the beach...Boracay???
Patricia and Josh attented a "Bratz Birthday Party"...they were asked to come in their most funkiest outfit...well Patricia was picked as the 2nd funkiest girl...
Josh was not lucky enough though...he says that funky things are for girls...
We have been thinking of buying a scooter...my daughter Wisi is really dead set on having one...but she doesn't even know how to ride a bike...she developed this liking for scooters when we watched Hilary Duff's Lizzie McGuirre Movie...
so one afternoon, we went to this place where they sell scooters...and these are our choices...
Kymco Top Boy
Sym Jet Euro
Nelson's choice was the SYM, while me and my kids chose Kymco...so thats 3 over 1...yahoo we won...but the big question is...WHEN?
Actually everybody liked VESPA...but this was ruled out...its a bit pricey...huhuhu
I played a good two hour of badminton last night with Jane and Rommel and some of their friends...the court was nice but i was a bit distracted at first...with all the sound coming from the floor i felt that i was tap dancing...(cement, wood, taraflex)...but it was fun...really
and this is the best part...after the game, we went to chilis to grab some food...i finished a plateful of french fries...yeah you read it right...and two mugs of coke lite...oh well...this is life!!!!
Today I went to the office of the Phil. Navy at Roxas Blvd. to deliver the plane tickets i got for my friend...
Since Manila is synonymous to traffic, i get the chance to toy around with my camera phone...bad huh...but i cant help it...since i usually drive by myself...i have to find ways to keep myself busy, otherwise with the kind of traffic, i can probably doze off...hehe
while waiting for the traffic light to turn green, i thought of taking a shot of my nail art...which never fails to get compliments...here's a clear pic of the nail art :-)
i happen to pass by my alma mater, UNIVERSITY OF STO. TOMAS
Luneta or Rizal Park, a famous tourist spot...
and of course, ROXAS BLVD. i really love this stretch...
and oh, i took all those photos while driving...i just love my sony ericsson k700i...i dont need to bring along my chunky digital camera anymore...
My cousin who is in the States right now, met with one of my closest friends Y...they've known each other only through my stories...this is actually the first time they meet...whoo how exciting...they've been asking me things about each other prior to that dinner date...haha...funny...good thing they clicked at once (i guess)...anyways, Y asked what kind of food Ate Marie wants...then i go like...oh JAPANESE FOOD!!!Actually it was me who has been craving for SAKE (salmon) and the GYUDON (beef)...so while they are having dinner at a japanese restaurant, i had my share of japanese lunch too...YIPEY!
