Getting in Shape

I chat with my sister online regularly. She told me that, she and my brother are both on a diet because they wanted to lose weight. Since when did they become very health conscious? I would see them soon, so I know if their weight loss regimen has been effective for them. I told them that weight loss supplements can also help speed up losing weight. On the other hand, I want to concentrate on having a more toned physique. I want to try yoga again.

Acne Before My Period

I notice that I would have acne breakout every time my period is about to start. I am not sure whether it is caused by hormonal changes or just stress. But whatever it is, I need to undergo acne treatment. I cannot stand looking at my face in the mirror whenever I have acne breakouts. I can't also stop touching my face, which I am not supposed to be doing. It's a good thing that I am friends with one of the known dermatologist in out town.

Portable Pool For Dwight

Today, I got a portable pool for Dwight and Tyra. But I am not sure if Tyra can support herself in that portable pool. She would need my sister to take care of her while she's having fun in the pool.

Since air needs to be pumped on that collapsible pool, I also bought an air pump. The price is much cheaper now because summer is almost over. I was able to purchase it for almost 40% off the original price.

Branson Packages

My dream getaway is cruising in Europe and have a lavish shopping spree in New York City after that. But that would be really expensive. Places like Paris, Venice, NYC are popular destinations. However, there are a lot of beautiful places out there where you can have a wonderful vacation at a budget price.

For instance, on Branson, Missouri, you can go to nice attractions such as the Branson Auto Museum, Butterfly Palace, Dinosaur Museum, Amazing Waltzing Waters, Titanic Museum, Silver Dollar City and many others. So, if you are thinking of having a Branson vacation with your family, look up online for affordable packages. I am pretty sure you'll get a nice deal within your budget.

Dwight Loves Cars

As early as now, I can sense Dwight's love for cars. Whenever we go outside, th first thing he would look for are toy cars of different shapes and sizes. Never have I been really that much interested with cars. But since Dwight had been into toy cars, I became noticing cars more and ended up identifying what model it is.

Here in the Philippines, a car is not really a necessity. Most of the places you want to go, there's a public utility vehicle (bus, jeepneys, tricycles) that can take you there. What I know most about cars, I learned from my dad. He is such a good driver. he can drive from Manila to the province, which is 10-12 hours away from bus. But he can make the trip shorter because he is really familiar with the route. Whenever we go home to the province, there's a lot of bigger vehicles on the road such as buses and trucks. But may father is very cautious when it comes to driving. I asked him how come those trucks can really endure long trips after the other. He said that they may have really good truck exhaust. That's why they are really good on the road. It's synonymous to saying that they have an upgraded exhaust system.

He tells me that having a car is not just about buying a car. An owner needs to make sure that the car is maintained well for it to work longer.

I Love Greyson

Seriously, these past few days, I am becoming a Greyson Chance fanatic. Have you heard his redition of Paparazzi. May I say, I like it better than Lady Gaga's original version? How I wish Dwight will become as talented as that boy. So, as early as now, I am trying to expose my son to different lines of interest such as music, arts, and sports.

Watch this fan video of how his fans adore him. How I wish I can be 12 again!

Healthy Pregnancy

When I was pregnant with Dwight, I was somewhat clueless on what's going on with my body. Before I go pregnant, I was very skinny and I was also anemic. The state of my health was not good for the developing baby inside my tummy. My doctor was really helpful and had given me good pieces of advice. My mom was there all throughout my pregnancy. I was lucky I was surrounded with warm and loving people. On my part, I read as much as I can about pregnancy. I bought books and read online. There's a lot of helpful sites online for pregnant women such as prenatalvitamins.net. These sites would help you understand more about what's going on with your body and how you should take care of your health and your unborn baby.

Diets for Quick Weight Loss

Have you ever been in this dilemma? You are to attend a party and you realize, that you'd be seeing people there you haven't seen for a while. The last time they saw you, you look healthier compared to how big you have been right now.

Here's another scenario, you are to attend an important celebration and you realized that your favorite dress no longer fits you. So, your goal is to shed those extra pounds as fast as you can.

If you are having a similar dilemma read about diets for quick weight loss and see what works for you. But my utmost advice would be, it's never good to starve yourself because you'll just end up eating more later during the day. Determination and discipline are what it takes to achieve your goal.

Ab Workouts

It has been 8 months since my sister gave birth. That just means that beautiful baby Tyra is now 8 months old. How time flies. My sister has been complaining because her body hasn't been back in shape. I talk to her almost everyday over the internet. Thanks to Facebook Chat. How she wishes for her pre-pregnancy figure again. But I told her, she won't be shedding all those excess weight just sitting down and doing nothing at home. Ab workouts is greatly recommended. She can also ask my brother to go jogging with her every afternoon. They are the most health-conscious people I know.

Free Blog Themes

I am suggesting my sister to create a blog site where she can share her motherhood experiences and post pictures of Baby Tyra. She is a newbie when it comes to blogging but of course I am going to assist her. Learning how to blog is easy as long as you have the time and passion for it.

Since I still have my free web hosting, all we need to do is get her a new domain. Setting up her blog would not be a problem. I can do it in a few hours. She can choose the wordpress templates online. There's a lot of free wp themes from different web sites. We can customize it the way she wants her blog to look like.

Aside from being a hobby, blogging can also be a source of extra income which she can use for Baby Tyra's needs. There are also a lot of nice bloggers out there that she can meet online. I have made some friends through blogging. Even though we haven't seen each other in person, it's nice to know that there's someone out there that I can relate to when it comes to motherhood, parenting and making money online.

Relaxing With Dwight

So, my son is still in the province and I have been missing him a lot. Well, I call him a few times a day to check what he's doing. Not that I do not trust my parents, I am just not used to not being around him.

I often take Dwight to the mall to play and have fun. But we also have bonding moments at home. I place the mattress in front of the television, and we watch cartoons while lazing around. We have our snacks together and just enjoy being around each other. Both of us love choco milk drink.

He is such a sweetheart even though a lot of times, he also gives me headache. Love yah Dwight!
