Prenatal Vitamins

admin — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 14:49:22 +0000

When I got pregnant with my youngest, I knew the value of the life growing inside of me. It was a magnificent feeling and I felt awed by the miracle that was happening. My second child, David, is already 6 years old so it has been quite awhile since I had my last baby.

Though my body has already recuperated from my previous pregnancies, I still prepared for the last one. I took prenatal vitamins and drank milk for pregnant mommies. I also ate healthy foods. Whatever Bella’s condition now, it is not because I was unhealthy then because I tried to provide a pregnancy for her. So at least nobody is to blame and there are no regrets.

Lines on My Face

I am working hard for my money. Hehe Yeah, it is much like the line of the song Working Girls. Whenever I hear that, I can only say that is so true because of the things going on in my life right now. But well, we all gotta live right?

Sadly though, all the stresses are leaving their prints on my face. The lines on my face are getting really obvious. I am not ready to try out all the products out there to identify the wrinkle creams that work. I don’t have the patience, the time, and the money for that. But I know I have to start somewhere in order to improve my skin’s appearance, if not reverse the ageing process.

Multivitamin: To Take or Not to Take?

admin — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 15:57:39 +0000

I have been working extra long hours lately because my kids are sick and have to spend more time with them. After they have all gone to bed, which is already pretty late, then I would have to start working. Now I am feeling the brunt of abusing my body because of over work and lack of sleep. I really need a good multivitamin.

However, the problem is, I also need to lose weight and I have noticed that if I take a daily multivitamin supplement, my appetite is increased. Then I would eat a lot and find myself gaining weight. I really wonder why this is so but vitamins just have that effect on me. Sigh, how can I really supplement my diet with the right nutrients without having to gain weight?

Blackheads Treatment

Arrrggghhh….I really hate in when I let my palm run over my face. It is rough!!!! That is because I have some blackheads on some parts of my face, like a few on my forehead, a few on my cheeks, and most of them on my nose and skin! Ayay! They feel icky. And when I feel them, I would start pricking them with my fingers and couldn’t stop if I have removed all of them. But I know that is not right. It is not sanitary and doing so could infect my skin. How I wish that there are blackhead treatments that could really reduce the size of my pores so that they will never get clogged again! I don’t like maintenance treatments because I don’t have the money and time for them. So a one-time wonder would work well for me.

Losing Weight and Muscle Building

I always wanted to lose weight and have a sexy body if possible but I wouldn’t go to the extent that I would apply a testosterone cream just to buff up my muscles though my husband would like that very much. He wants to lose his beer belly and develop muscles. That is the reason why he wants to go to the gym.

Anyway, even if I don’t get that sexy but will lose my big tummy, I will be very happy physically!!

School is About to Start

Summer is almost over and in just a few days, school year 2010 – 2011 is about to start. I am sure children who spent their summer in provinces are now on their way home to prepare for the school year. And because of this, I could just imagine all those cars flocking back to Manila. I just hope they have those booths at the roadside which is similar to the good sam roadside assistance in the US who are ready always to assist travelling cars.

Anyway, I am excited with the school opening too. My second child will be in Grade One and my eldest will be Grade Five. They are indeed growing fast!!

Flooding Inside

The first time we saw our current apartment, we thought it was the perfect one for us despite the fact the place is near my husband’s drinking buddies and some of the faucets were broken. But today, a heavy rain came in and gave us a bitter revelation. Our rented apartment has a bad roof and it floods from the inside!! Not just drips but outpour of rain water!!

Anyway, I am filing a complaint to my land lord tomorrow. I hope he will fix this immediately especially the bad roofing is near our kitchen which is also direct to our master’s bedroom. If it rains during evenings, I might see our bed foams floating.

They Need a Sober Dad

For the past few weeks, I have been in a lot of stress. Not because of my work or my children but because of my husband. He has been the source of my stress lately. Well, not literally him but his drinking habit. When he is drunk, he is not himself and he acts weirdly.

Anyway, I just hope my husband will change. If not, I will be buying a prototype 37c every month just to counter all the wrinkles he is going to contribute to me because of stress. Kidding aside, I hope he change, not for my benefit but for the children. Our kiddos need a better father, a sober dad that will lead them to goodness in life!

He is Home

Hubby came home yesterday. He was already sober but we didn’t talk that much because I was going to church. Anyway, to make the story short, we are talking again as if nothing happened. Our situation always happens again and again. It’s making me tired already.

Oh well, I just wished I had a treadmill where I could walk the stress away and at the same time trim down on weights!

Still Not Home

My husband was not able to work last Thursday because he was so drunk. Yesterday, he went to work. Until now, he haven’t come back. I don’t know if he left us because he said he will leave us.

Anyway, I am still hoping that nothing bad happened to him. I hope this is just the usual drunkenness he has.
