Part 2 of our seminar took place last Tuesday (last leg is this afternoon), and one of the topics that was discussed was about knowing that a person has a choice in everything he or she does. When the facilitator asked what were the times when we usually say we don’t have a choice, one of my officemates said “borrow money from money or mortgage lenders when finances are tight.” Another one said is...

Shall I Lose Weight?
Shall I try to lose weight? A lot of people have been commenting that I have gained a lot of weight already (in a good way, they said), and I feel uncomfortable hearing that, even if they mean well. Don’t blame me though, because for many years I didn’t have to watch my food intake, nor read diet pill reviews and buy pills to get thin. Plus I’m used to being told that I’m such a thin girl. Anyway,...
Enrique's Dilemma
Dear hubby has today talked to me (the fourth time!) about getting a macbook (or macbook pro if we get lucky) and I am really sensing that his dilemma is worsening. You know, saving vs. giving in to his “wants.” I told him though that if he would push through with getting one, if he finds the MacBook Pro to be a little too expensive, then he should at least get the MacBook with at least 160 GB computer...
No DVD's for 5 Months!
I’m really tempted to get Eanna the DVD series of Strawberry Shortcake, but what’s keeping me from doing so (at least for now) is the fact that our entertainment system has not been set-up after we have moved from the other unit. Yes, it’s been five months of no-DVD viewing at home. I’m just too lazy to sort all the cables (gash, I just wish we have an HDMI cable, it would’ve been a lot easier setting...

Ghost at Home?
I have been wanting to blog about this for the longest time (since I discovered it at least), and it's just now that I'm thinking that maybe, there really is a ghost in our condo. Ok, I know, I'm just scaring myself, but how do you explain the fact that whenever I take a bath, and I completely turn off the heater and the faucet, the next day, the lever of the faucet is up (when it should be down!)....

Elephant Eyes
Oh my goodness. I had a major allergy moment last Friday night and though I was able to control my asthma attack, I was unable to contain the ballooning of my eye lids and undereye area. I thought it would subside the next day in time for me to attend our office seminar, but that didn't happen.I looked (and still look) like a badly beaten boxer. I refused to leave my room, and did so when I couldn't...

Learn, Girl
When will I ever learn the art of not trusting people that much?I seriously want to be the anti-social right now. But maybe this will all the more backfire.Sometimes I really want to just believe the "harsh" observation my Boss told me before, but I couldn't accept it back then for fear of being too haughty. Again, he reminded me to be careful and not trust people too much. I think I should seriously...

"Mama Is Yaya" Day
Yesterday, Eanna’s Nanny called for an emergency leave to attend the funeral of her family member, so I took the day off for Eanna. Though we only stayed at home (I originally planned for us to go malling and all), it was truly a good day for us, as we just played and laughed and had fun together. Eanna was such a sweetheart and it saddened me a bit that every single day that I work, those were the...

Eanna's Shopping Day
And I thought I was gonna be the one to go shopping (when I started with a purchase from Una Rosa)!After having lunch, we went to Rustan's Department to do our usual strolling. I remembered that I should buy something for Eanna's mosquito bites (and prevention of), so I got her a balm from Badger's....

Cowboy Steak, Rosemary Potatoes, Squash Soup
Oh my goodness. I just had a really luscious dinner, I'm still recovering from that wonderful gastronomic experience.Ok, ok. Maybe it may seem exaggerated to some, but really. It was an amazing time, from preparation to cooking to eating. Now I truly believe that when you lovingly prepare and cook your meals, you will love the result.Too full and lazy right now, but I will post the recipes. Sorry,...

Invisible
Yes. This is what I want to be at work. Toxic work, difficult people, mentally and emotionally draining situations. If I can just take a break from this.Virtue of silence. Speaking out is encouraged at work but I feel this has becoming an excuse and is being abused. Sometimes I feel the need for people to shut up, or at least think first before speaking. I know sometimes I need to shut up and think...
Rants for the Day
Ok, I just have to rant about these things that bugged me for the past few days:Can I dart their hands?While driving, the people inside the car in front of me must have thought that the street is one big garbage can, this “hand” tossed trash outside the window. What the???? I thought this was sooo “out” already, especially since there is a growing movement to be more environment-friendly and to observe...

Success! Lasagna!
Last weekend, I have succeeded in doing something I was really scared to do... Bake Lasagna. I was sooo happy that I didn't burn it, nor it tasted like S%!t. Just look at this lovely thang...It's called Lasagna with Chicken Cream and Tomato Mushroom Sauce.I just followed the recipe found in the box,...

Mall-less Weekend
This weekend I have decided to just stay at home and be the lazy person that I am (haha). I felt that after I had another purchase when I went to Powerplant to have dinner with my parents and sibs, I was still weak whenever temptations faced me. Save for going to the grocery (which in itself was still a temptation - gash I bought so much again), the idea of going to the mall meant I would most likely...

La Greta Moment
Well... almost. Hahaha.Anyway, the other day, I went to the gasoline station to well, fill up some gas. I asked the gasoline boy if the price of gas would go up again, and he said it would this Friday. So, I told him I'd get full tank. When it was done, I got my card and gave it to him. Then I nonchalantly asked how much it was. "2,527" WAHATTT???? I was half expecting it to be 2k only, a little more,...
Early Christmas Gift Plans
As early as now I’m thinking what Christmas presents to give to all our department’s personnel. Last, year, I have given them these cute little paper/picture holders that they truly liked.It really makes me feel good that I see them using my little gift to them, so I plan to give them more personalized...
Life Insurance
Because of the recent sinking of a passenger vessel because of the typhoon, I am becoming all the more convinced that as early as possible, I should get dear hubby an insurance policy. I know, you might think I sound so morbid today, and honestly I do not like thinking of such things. But for the sake of our future (more importantly, Eanna’s), it is best that I talk to my agent and ask for life insurance...

Spare Glasses
I recently blogged about me not being able to contact lenses in the near future, so I bought a nice little red eye glasses. I talked to friend J about it and while I was reading her blog, I got curious on an online optical store called Zenni Optical that she was raving about. I was amazed at the products...

Battle Field
Our whole day meeting today was a very intense, disappointing, mentally draining, anger inducing, and extremely tiring one, but I must say that it really was an eye-opener to me. I'm too tired to blog about it now and I may or may not post anything about this in the future. But reminder to self...At work, know your place, your capabilities and at the same time your limitations. Never overstep and...

10 Months
After a long, hard, and tiring day at work, the only thing I wanted to do was go home and cook the food for our celebration of our angel's 10th month. I prepared the menu yesterday but we didn't push through with it. As soon as I started heating the water for our pasta, my MIL texted me that she ordered pizza and delivery guy was already on his way to our place. Really, she is really such a great...

Just browsed through Style.com to check on the latest trends for Fall 2008 (I know, I'm looking a little late than usual), and I'm very happy that designers have focused on one of our most sensual body parts: the neck. Here are some of the looks I liked (pics are from Style.com:

Spectacled
I went to the optical shop with the intention of buying a new pair of contact lenses. I thought that my old pair was wearing down because whenever I blink the lenses move, and my eyes felt very irritated and heavy. The doc checked my eyes to see if my grades went up. It did. She further checked my eyes...

Ironing Out My Kinks
My hair is going back to its natural curly state, and much as I would like to have it rebonded, I’m too lazy to go to the parlor and stay there for a good number of hours. I tried to address this by buying myself a ceramic flat iron, but it seems like its efficiency in ironing my hair is waning. I tried looking around to see what is the best flat iron that is suitable for me, and I found a great site...
Colon Care
Some years ago there was a craze over colon cleansing, and much as I wanted to do this, I had no time (either that, or I was scared, or it wasn’t really my priority). They said that it’s good to do this at least every ten years in order to take out all the toxins that have remained (or formed and hardened?) in our colon. Blame it on being 30 (hahaha, another opportunity to bring up this excuse),...
Acne Alert?
Is it because of the weather or am I developing adult acne? My officemates have noticed that I have two big spots in my cheeks, and since these spots were flat, I thought they were just mosquito bites. That, or me wearing eyeglasses had something to do with it. However, It’s been days already and the spots went up from two to three. Now this should get me alerted (vain vain vain?). If this persists...
Delayed HK Plans
I feel a bit bad right now. Looks like our HK trip will be delayed to a later date because I have to attend the seminar for all employees, and the schedule is in conflict with our trip. Well, I secretly hoped before that our family trip will be delayed to some other time, when Enrique is already here. First, I always want to be with Enrique whenever I travel. Second, both of us do have travel plans...
Money Isn't Everything, You Know.
*Sigh*This is the time when I just want to relax. The time to let go of whatever work concerns I have right now. The time to commune with nature and free my mind, heart, and soul. If only I could own a place somewhere luxurious and peaceful, such as in Winter Park real estate and cocoon myself after a very toxic workday…Too bad such wants are, well, just that… wants. Sometimes I wish I can just stop...

Eanna Dances!
I'm so happy, I caught Eanna dancing and bobbing her head while listening to the tunes from her walker! When she noticed that she's being video-ed, she stopped dancing and went forward to take the camera. Hahaha!Unfortunately, I don't have my phone's cable so I could not upload the video and show it here. Hehehe.Anyway, remember I blogged about me being sad that it seems like my little angel wants...
Tag From Sheryll
Dear God, we pray for the quick recovery of all the sick and the dying especially those suffering from LUPUS and CANCER. And to those 700 plus lives who have lost during the Princess of the Star Voyage tragedy during the typhoon last week. I pray that their bodies will be found and if not they will...

Grilled Salmon and Arugula Salad
It's been a while since I last posted a recipe, so here's one now. I had this for dinner last night (sorry, no picture) and got the salmon recipe from FoodTV.com. The arugula salad, I drew inspiration from the one that I had when i ate in Pepato a few years back... Very simple but yummy!Grilled Salmon with Sherry Vinegar and Honey GlazeIngredients:1 cup Sherry Wine Vinegar1/4 Cup Honey2 Tbsp Dijon...
