My brother kept on persuading me to take those Pretty Model slimming capsules since he noticed that I found it hard to control my weight gain. Honestly, I was really desperate. I was already following a strict diet plan along with regular exercise, but still, I kept on gaining weight.

Out of desperation, I gave it a try. After a few days, I felt lighter. But the problem was, I was having a hard time sleeping at night. And because of that, I’ve got some acne on my face. I tried using acnepril, and hopefully it will become better before my husband comes home.

I do not want to consider myself vain at all. I thought I will not ever come to this stage when I will be so conscious of my looks. Is this really a part of the ‘aging’ process? *wink*

As they say, diamonds are every girl’s best friend. If this is true, then I should have it, right?!

Hubby has been asking me what gift I want him to give me for mother’s day. Well, my usual response, SURPRISE ME! I am not the type who asks someone to give a particular thing. It’s a cliche, but it’s really the thought that matters a lot.

Oh well, it’s mother’s day again. I really can’t help but feel the longing whenever this day comes. It would have been nicer to celebrate motherhood with my own mother beside me.. though I know she’s just around watching over us. Every occasion makes me long for her.

I just keep on reminding myself that I have a lot of reasons to celebrate.

My friends in the neighborhood are planning to have a reunion party. Weird?! Yeah, I know. We are just living in the same neighborhood yet we still have to plan a day so we can have the time to really talk and reunite. I guess, everyone is so busy with their own lives that we all don’t have the time to spend like we used to. Aside from that, we also have some friends who already moved to other places. They promised to make time for this very much anticipated reunion.

Everyone is all keyed up, I can tell!

And the fun thing is, we all have to dress up the way we did when we were kids. Hahaha, I can just imagine how those guys will look charming *or hilarious* wearing their hip hop clothing! Char! But since, everyone agreed, the game is on!

Hmmm, so what will I be wearing? I guess, I’ll be in my usual big t-shirt, jeans and a cap. I was so boyish then.

My father talked to me about the importance of availing different kinds of insurance, especially for us since my kids are still small. He told me that he realized the need for it when my mother passed away. He had a hard time thinking about how he could fund our college education. Luckily, his employer was so kind and compassionate enough to teach him how he could earn more.

Weighing all the possibilities, that conversation persuaded me to get a disability insurance, so that whatever happens, the kids will not be much affected. I believe that this will be a wise move because it can give us the assurance that if ever something happens, we can always rely on some assistance.

Other people might take this negatively. As for me, this may be a cliche, it’s better to be prepared than be sorry. A lot of people out there are afraid to think ahead, believing that those not-so-good things will not happen to them. But you will only realize that you should have prepared for the worst when you are already confronted by the storm.

The kids are just so addicted to watching the television. They even learned how to read just by watching the videos I used to play in our DVD player. They can last a day just doing that. With that said, I am afraid that this will bring about negative effects on their eyes, and also with their holistic development. And so, as much as I could, I control and limit their tv time, and offer other enjoyable activities. I even bought tv stands so I can easily drag the tv to our room whenever the kids are doing other things.

I have read a lot of negative stuff too much tv watching can cause, not just with kids but with adults as well. It can be linked to having a very sedentary lifestyle which can lead to so many health diseases. So as early as now, I try to explain to my kids that they should be more focused on other things apart from just staring at that “box”.

One of the most common sources of income of most stay-at-home moms that I have met here in the blogosphere is their online shops hosted in Multiply. I must say, it is a very good strategy. Selling your stuff in social networking sites has proven itself to be very effective and cost-efficient for many sellers.

My friend and I talked about our plans to sell used books in Multiply, as well. We have already talked to a potential supplier. At first, we thought that this would be a good business to invest in since there will be no stiff competition unlike selling garments, shoes and other stuff. We planned to sell hard-to-find books which you could buy at very high prices should you decide to buy new ones from bookstores or even in other online shops.

But unhappily, the plans did not push through since we were so busy with other things and we found no time to concretize our plans.

I often laugh at men who are so vain. I remember there was a feature in a tv program about those guys who are really pushing so hard just to look good. And really, vanity takes all forms, sizes and shapes. And it knows no boundaries.

I have seen this site www.supplementcritic.com/creatine-supplements, and thought that those men who are working out regularly in a gym must know about this. According to the site, there is a creatine supplement which has proven itself to be very effective in muscle building. Well, nothing much, I just thought that this information will be of much help.

I have mentioned in my previous post that I am considering taking slimming capsules. The truth is I am really afraid to take that seemingly desperate measure since I believe that there are healthier options for me. When it comes to my physical well-being, I am very much cautious. Since my mom died of colon cancer, I was advised by my doctors to be extra careful as I am prone to acquiring the same form of disease. Of course, I do not want to go through the same pain, and so I am trying my best to really take care of my health.

I have heard about these natural diet supplements, and I am eager to try these. They say that these supplements have positive effects on the body apart from its slimming purposes. I still have to make a thorough research about it. I don’t want to just get into the hype without the necessary info.

Hayz, it’s really hard to be slim especially when you are trying to be the best cook for your family.

My brother and my sis-in-law are taking slimming capsules to trim down. They are very lazy to exercise, and those capsules are really the easiest way out. They were amazed with the results, and so they shared the ‘good news’ with their friends. Little did they realize that this can be an added source of income since they are now selling those Pretty Model capsules and extenze pills as well for men.

Lately, I have been exerting a lot of effort just to lose some weight. I devote a particular time of the day to exercise, and have drastically changed my eating habits. I vowed to myself that those slimming capsules would be my last, desperate resort. But this afternoon, I found myself ‘interviewing’ my bro and his wife to ask for the side effects of the capsules. Since they said that they have not noticed any health hazard while taking this, hmmm, I am considering ‘diving into the pool’ as well.

I don’t know.
