weight battle

I need to lose some weight and become slim!! Do you know the best way of losing weight and becoming slim? Some of my friends tried dieting, gym exercise, drinking diet pills and even considered surgical procedures but still not successful enough. Food diet can be hard for me because it deprives me not to eat my favorite food. Exercising is also hard, because with the demands of my work lately, I have no time to go to gym and exercise. Drinking diet pills may not be hard, but the effect is slow. So while thinking on how to lose weight, I have the perfect plan for becoming slim. I’ll have a good diet without depriving myself of yummy food, exercise whenever there is time and have the best weight loss pills.

School Time

Its June already, that means one thing...school time for the kids. Thus, need to shop for the kids asap.So it's back to school shopping again as I need to buy new school materials for the kids. I don’t need to buy the basic school materials, like notebooks, crayons, etc., for Sam because her school already provides them. Luckily, I just need to buy her shoes, socks and undergarments for her school use. Unlike Sam’s school, Ico's school does not provide him any school materials. I need to buy Ico the usual materials such as pads, fillers, pens, and other art class parphernalias as per requirement. And since Ico is now in highschool I also need to buy him lab materials such as lab gowns, and safety materials like safety glasses for his Chemistry class. How about you, have you started your school shopping?

on ico's weight

Now I’m worried about my son Ico. He's gaining weight lately and becoming a couch potato. And since it's summer, my son not engaged in any sport activity but instead just lay on his bed all day and surfs the web or busy with his social networking accounts like facebook and friendster. He's already a teenager, and as far as I know teenagers always think about how they look. They put so many things on their face so that it wouldn’t have any pimples. Naturally, teeners want to look their best. They always look at the mirror and fix their hair for hours. And lastly, they overreact when they gain weight. Ico hasn’t done anything to lose weight, despite all our diet pep talks, he can't seem to lose weight. So I am looking for weight loss pills that work. Any suggestions?

Happy Birthday, Ico!

Today marks the 14th Birthday of my eldest son, Ico. Yes I have a fourteen-year old son who happens to be the big brother of Samantha and Miguel. How time flies so fast! I can still clearly remember when I had to struggle taking care of Ico at a very young age. Raising a kid and studying at the same time. You can say I started mommyhood and matured in life early, and became not only responsible for myself but to my little boy as well. With big dreams for my son, I continued to study, stand on my own. Fought for him and became strong despite all the odds in my life.

And with great pride, I am happy to say I've raised a wonderful and responsible child. Very smart and bright kid. Big and gentle brother to Miguel and Samantha. On your 14th Birthday, I wish you all the best.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ICO! WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

and the good news ...

... I am pregnant.

After a few (actaully, lots of it ... and i am not complaining) attempts, finally it yielded a "positive" result. The anniversary get-away last February was a success! Though I am not sure if its "Made in Bangkok" or "Made in Manila", it does not mater. It's finally baby no. 2 for the husband and me! Though technically, baby no. 3 for me.

Everyone was so excited and happy with the news. Finally, the little bratinella will no longer be the reigning brat of the house. She'll be "Ate Sam" soon. And I just can't wait to see her the responsible and dotting ate to the new baby. Even my colleagues were happy with the perfect timing. If ever, I'll give birth by November or early December. Right timing as we close business for 2009. Less workload, less stress and less problems with all the holiday brouhaha in the office.

Anyway aside from the preggo news, I also received good news for my son Ico. His teacher called me last night to inform me he will graduate with honors this coming Friday. He'll graduate 3RD OVER-ALL of his batch. Of course,I was really happy with the news. Very bright kid. Really makes me one proud Mom. And because of this, I am not sure if I'll reward him with a new laptop or home theater furniture he's been eyeing for months now. Think this will be a perfect graduation gift.

March proved to be a good month for us. Despite the recent loss of my grandfather, He showered us with more blessings. And with these, I am really thankful. God is indeed good.
