One day at a time

13 Feb

Before I go back to sleep, I am proud to have accomplished some tasks. I really want to do more. I have so many plans. Yes, I have long term goals. However, I do not know where to start. I do not know or I am lazy?
Since it is Chinese New Year, I have decided to list down some priorities for the year:

1 . Health- as they say, health is wealth. We have a rough start in this aspect. My husband is diagnosed to have diabetes. Actually, he has so many other conditions. My son, he always have cough and colds. There is occasional nose bleed too. Me? I have migraine attacks and I am obese.
We should have a change in lifestyle.

2. Finances- I really thank God for always providing us with all the things that we need. Sometimes, we tend to abuse it and buy things that we do not really need. Our savings account is crying right now. I hope to have more money in the bank. We need to start budgeting. We never learned.

3. Education- mostly for our son. He only do study or review his lessons whenever there is an exam. You know, he does not have study time. I hope that I could also find time for him. I want him to learn a song. Something that he really knows from start to finish and he could perform. I want him to learn how to dance too.

4. Spiritual- we already missed masses this year. I hope that we could make up for it.

5. General house rules- our home is not always spic and span. Makalat kami! My husband and I never agreed on the design of the house. I always give in to his wishes. He wanted a big space in this small house while I want the conventional one. We never use our dining table.

So far, those are the things that I could think of. I have to make a more specified list next time.

I know we can do it, one day at a time!

Long story

13 Feb

I missed watching my favorite TV shows lately. One of these shows is Grey’s Anatomy. Well, the attraction for me is the hospital setting, Mr. McDreamy and of course the medicl topics being discussed in every episode. I wonder if they have talked about enzyte already. Well, they had an episode about a septuagenarian who wanted to still be in the active state. My husband said that he hopes that we will forever be close to each other and enjoy each other’s company.

Hmmm… I forgot to ask you, what are your plans for today? Did you prepare for this day? In what way? My husband bought an I-touch and he said that it is my Valentine’s gift to him. His gift to me on the other hand is an imitation. Hahaha! I know, you don’t understand. It is a long story.

Enjoy the day

13 Feb

Today is quite an unproductive day for me as a Mom. It is really a rest day! I got out of bed at around 5PM. I watched Blind Side. I really like the film. It talks about football. Funny but while watching the film, insurance quotes popped into my mind. Maybe because the narrator compared the position of a football player to insurance. Is it true that in US, after the mortgage, insurance is the second priority? Anyways, I see nothing wrong with it. I am all for it. Insurance gives me a feeling of security. I hope to buy more once I got more money and if job promised to be stable. You know, recession.

Anyways, today is Valentines Day already in some parts of the world. It is Chinese New Year too! So, I wish everyone a very nice day! Enjoy it with your loved ones. As of me, I will go to work by 10AM. That means, I have to go back to bed!

Indulgence

13 Feb

Because of too much stress, I gave in. I ate a lot or have been eating a lot for the past two days. I have to indulge. I have to eat chocolates. I have to drink soda. Forget about tuna first! You see our cupboard, full of canned tuna. After this or if I survive this, then I need the best diet aids. Tuna, crackers, oatmeal, etc.. Hey, why did I write about food? What about exercise? Okay then, exercise. ;)

Facial

13 Feb

It must be painful if someone has to go through an operation on the face. I must know. I went for a facial just once and pricking those pimples and trying to remove those white and blackheads were really painful. No pain, no gain? How much more if those are acne and big pimples? How scrutinizing it could be? After the acne was removed, acne scar removal would follow. Now, that is another painful process. I could not blame people who just let things be and drop lines, love me for who I am and what I am.

Love,love,love

13 Feb

Kris Aquino is a popular TV show host here in our country. She is also the daughter of the late Ninoy Quino and former President Cory Aquino. This young woman has already made a name for herself. She went through so many storms in life too and was able to succeed most of it. Her birthday happens to be the same day as Valentine’s Day. Many loves Kris. Many hates her too. I must admit, I like Kris Aquino. Okay, dear friends please do not raise your eyebrows. He,he,he. Anyways, she is not supposed to be the topic for this post. It is my new theme! Well, just for this month. After all, it is the month of love. As Kris Aquino says, love,love,love!

By the way, Kris Aquino married an equally popular basketball player turned commercial model? He and his son has this life insurance rate awareness campaign and it came as a surprise to us. However, I think that it is good. In US or in other countries, insurance is not only popular but sort of a requirement or a need.

Two accidents

13 Feb

Yesterday was not the first time that I met an accident while traveling. The first time was when we had a trip in the north. I was with my husband then. Maybe the bus driver was really sleepy that he hit a post. We were near the driver. Two rows away. The broken pieces of the windshield tried to go to our direction. Thank God, no one was really that hurt that day.

Yesterday, I had my usual jeepney ride. I was really sleepy but I managed to stay awake. It was His plan as I know that He knows something will happen. Going to any place means passing many intersections. Most are accident prone areas. I experienced the most often yesterday. I really was not able to see the actual scene or how the jeep hit the car or the other way around. It is a question of right of way? One thing I could clearly remember was the screeching sound of the collission. No one get hurt. I immediately went down to leave the situation. I managed to check the wrecked car. I was glad that the young man inside that looked fine. He did not go out of the car yet. Maybe he was shocked and did not know what to do.

I got another ride just like that. Then I felt all the energy melting down. I feared for my life. I was also shocked. I was sad. I felt helpless. I wanted to cry. I mumbled a little prayer. Then, I was composed again. I decided not to tell anyone. I had to let it cool down first. I do not want to entertain how bad it was. When I was sure that I could handle it already, I finally called my husband before 6PM that I met that road accident. And now, I am writing about it.

Be safe everyone!

Even if your husband loves you very much

13 Feb

One of my office mates who I am quite close with reminded me to take care of myself. You know, as in the beauty side. She noticed that I do not wear any make up. She told me, “Even if you are sure that your husband loves you very much, it does not mean that you will stop making yourself beautiful in his eyes.” It makes sense , huh! Now, I am into beauty products and eye cream reviews. I wonder what will happen to my outside appearance once I get addicted to it. Will I really become more beautiful? Ahem…

Less painful

12 Feb

Uh-oh! Our boss called our attention yesterday! After all the stress, it added more to our stress. She sort of told us that we should fear for our job. Yes, I believe so. No one is indispensable. There are lots of peple out there who could actually replace you and grab your position anytime. That got me thinking. Do I have a back up? It is somehow less painful if I have enough money to buy gold bullion. Why do I need to buy one and how it could help? Because, it is gold, period. You know how valuable gold is. Definitely, it will have a good resell value.
