I failed so many times in my attempt to lose weight. I lack the discipline which is one of the important factors when it comes to dieting. Lack of knowledge is another thing, ask me about how much calories, carbohydrates, fats,etc.. and other measurements one must be able to take when eating, I knew nothing. This time, I need to do some research on how things work around, I really got to be sure on the things that I am doing. Like knowing the side effects of lipofuze if ever I consider taking it as a part of of my diet supplements if ever. Take time to know the pros and cons of the fods that I am eating, etc. Proper way of dieting leads to a healthy living and the end results is having a happy and healthy lifestyle.

Pre Holiday Indulgence
Photos below are some of the food trip moments that we had few days before Christmas, I was too lazy to bring our Digicam and just resort to the use my phone cam (1.5 MP) hence the blurry pictures so please bear with me 🙂 Kids did enjoy going around the mall, buying their gifts is of course the main highlight of our mall trip and of course indulging to these fattening foods. lol! Now, finding the effective weight loss pills is on top of my list of to do’s. I am now starting on my healthy diet too. So far, so good! Exercising is the next thing to accomplish on my list, hope I can really fulfill my weight loss goal this time.
Manila Ocean Park
I am so behind in updating my blogs with our previous activities last December, hope I could catch up soon with the other ones. For now, let me share first our visit to the Manila Ocean Park last December 27. We went there together with Ate Irene’s family (DH’s sis). We went early before 9 a.m.. Perfect timing as there were only few people then…
The kids really enjoyed the place as they get to see a lot of different kinds of aquatic animals around them. These are their top favorites amongst others:
DS was saying that he saw “Patrick” the pink starfish character in Spongebob. LOL!
This is the only allowed sea creature that you can touch around.
Facts about Star Fish:
Although sea stars live underwater and are commonly called “starfish,” they are not fish. They do not have gills, scales, or fins like fish do and they move quite differently from fish.
While they can’t see as well as we do, sea stars have an eye spot at the end of each arm. This is a very simple eye that looks like a red spot. The eye doesn’t see much detail, but can sense light and dark.
*facts from here
The Spotted Garden Eel Caught little girl’s attention
We stayed for quite awhile in the underwater viewing tunnel and did enjoy being surrounded by these aquatic animals. Got some blurry pics because flash is not allowed when taking a picture.
Then off we went to buy at the souvenir shop and we also did avail their 3D picture frame for P400.
Went out the place around 11 a.m and it’s too crowded already. So you have to come early to full enjoy going around.
Managing My Blogs
I wasn’t able to follow my supposed to be plans for my websites and other online activity last holiday vacation. Offline activities caught me up most of the time- family reunions, shopping, parties to attend to so couldn’t do much online. Now, I have no choice but to squeeze in during my weekdays schedule and juggle my time between them.
Summing up my to do’s for my online tasks goes:
- Update my blogs with some personal and quality post. (I hope to deliver on these two)
- Find new and effective themes for my other blogs
- Check on my domain and hosting renewals schedule
- See if I can manage to enroll my sites to a pci compliance hosting, still got to research more on the benefits on this and see how things go around.
- My pending Photo books making
- Clear off some clutter (codings, broken links, etc) on my blogs.
- Adding up another baby (new blog) a niche on shopping perhaps. ( Hope to this soon :D)
First Weekend For 2011
First week of January has ended and I can say that everything went well, Let me sum up how we went through it.
January 3– Resume day of work- it was kind of hard catching up as I am still in a holiday mode, but were able to deliver on my online tasks.
January 5- Classes resume for Gab and Nic. It was really hard for the little boy to get back into his previous daily routine as he was used to waking up late due to the long vacation. We also did cram on doing his assignments, thanks to our newly bought printer for making things easy. 😀
January 6– overwhelming tasks offline and I am having a hard time catching up on my online activities, my body clock still can’t adjust to my old work schedule.
January 7- busy day at the office, received our first week salary of the month and had my first migraine attack for the year, I was near in crying while I am on way home as I couldn’t bear the pain and I am about to vomit anytime. I laid down on bed for awhile, I was only able to take dinner after I threw up.
Now I am done with the laundry and now starting on my online tasks as I need to finish them all today because we’ll be heading to Quiapo for the fiesta and will have to check out some ipod nano case at the mall as my brother is asking me to buy one as his old case just got broken. Hope things will even get better as days pass by for this year. 🙂
Home Makeover for 2011
We were able to accomplish a lot in doing some makeover for the house last year. A few projects were left to be done for this year. Our bathroom was in progress now and the kids bedroom will come next but still, there are some unexpected turn out of events that needs to be dealt with asap. Our queen sized bed got broken and was temporarily fixed, it still need some major repair as there are squeaky thing that you can hear whenever we move- while lying or sitting down. I am thinking if we could buy another one, but it is out of the budget right now. So I just need to look around first and see if there’s any that will fit the budget.
I am thinking if we could have futons for a while, I saw similar one at American Furniture Mart’s ( a leading factory direct showroom of open to the public for the best in top quality furniture at discount prices) a Flare Microfiber Futon Bed, I think it will be perfect too for our mini sala as the ones we have there are already old school in design.lol
I love the color combination of red and black, this will definitely suit our newly painted wall and space saving too as it can be converted to bed whenever the need arise for some unexpected sleep over at the house.
Early Bird
We went to Manila Ocean Park two days after Christmas. it’s a good thing that we arrived there early. See, DS was alone in the queue at the ticket booth… But come around 12:30 p.m as we went out the place, it was already jam packed with lots of people. Will update another posts with the photos around the place.
Happy New Year!
“Here’s to the bright New Year, and a fond farewell to the old; here’s to the things that are yet to come, and to the memories that we hold.”
Have a blessed 2011 to all!
My Book of Days For 2011
(Size 5.5” x 4.125”)
Would only cost me P29 or $0.83. Yes, I didn’t buy any of those BDJ or join any contest to win a Starbucks planner for this year. DH and I were busy buying gifts when we pass by the Papemelroti store in Megamall when I saw this Book of Days organizer. This actually applies as datebooks for any year.
Just enough size and space for me to jot down some reminders and comes in handy which I really love as I can bring it along with me anywhere. Environment friendly too as materials used are recycled. I aiming to spend within the limits on our budget for 2011 so we won’t overspend, saving is the game this time 🙂
