STILL ALIVE AND KICKING

Yes, I'm still alive and kicking but too busy with other things. I'm really sorry guys for not updating this blog. And to those who visited me, thank you so much. I really appreciate it.

Hubby and I were away for 2 days. We been to the chalet and we been going around with the snow mobile to end up the winter. We had a great time in the chalet and the weather was very nice on that time. Everytime we're in the chalet, I can use my computer because there's no electricity there. There is generator, solar charger battery and wind power charger (a little windmill..I don't know exactly the term in english) but I don't want to plug my laptop there because there is no use, there's no internet signal over there hehehehhe. So, there's no need to bring my laptop. And when we came back home, we have a live-in visitor that until now, they are still here. They will be back to their place maybe tomorrow night or Monday the latest. This is the reason why I was not able to update my blog. I'm so sorry again and thanks to those who keep on visiting here..really appreciated :-)

HEALTHY AND SEXY

I am so desperate every time I check my weight. My weight scale is going up and down. Three more months and I will be going to Philippines for my vacation. I want to lose at least 10 lbs before my vacation. I already have my diet and do my exercise but my weight is still the same. I don’t want to give up. I’m still trying to find ways on how to lose weight quickly in a very safe ways.

Last night, I was surfing in the net and I found this site that interests me most, the dualactioncleansenow.com. It is natural herbal formulas that detoxify your body safely. In other word, it cleanses your body by flushing out excess waste and not only that, it is a colon cleanser too that helps us prevent from colon cancer. After reading the people’s testimony, I called my sister and give her this site because she’s afraid of a colon cancer. She was very happy and she said she will order some for sure.

BIRTHDAY GIFT FROM MY HUBBY

It's not yet my birthday but hubby gave me already my birthday gift. Infact, it's me who bought this one this morning but hubby gave me the money this morning. He had his medical exam for his work and while he was in the clinic, I was in mall shopping for this bag. This is the most expensive bag I have so far. Brand is not really important for me. As long as it is nice and good quality, it's okey with me. I love guess products and I have some handbags from guess but it only cost less than a hundred bucks. I only buy if it is on sale. But this one, it's hubby who pay it and I'm so happy that I got this bag that worth $150.00. Oh I'm so happy. I really love this bag and the size is so perfect. It's big enough to put all my personal stuff (wallet, camera, ipod, cosmetic products, hand sanitizer, organizer, electronic dictionary and my notepad). At least in this bag, I can bring everything he he he. So happy with the gift I received.

TRANSFER OF TITLE

My parents gave us residential lot before my dad died. Just recently, I received another piece of land from my mom because this land, mom loan it to the bank and I was the one who paid the loan so after I finished paying, mom gave it to me. Now, all I need to do is to transfer the land title to my name. I need to transfer it to my name before I will come back here after my vacation in Philippines. Until now, I’m still looking for somebody who will work with all the paper works regarding my land because my mom can’t do it anymore alone. I hope my sister can do it before I will arrive there so that all I need to do is sign the papers.

Well, for now, I want to check Maxim Enterprises. Hubby wants to know more about these enterprises because he’s interested on something.

SPECIAL DAY

Wow! Few more days and it's my special day. It's so special for me because it's not only my birthday but it's our 6th year wedding anniversary too. You know what I asked hubby for my birthday gift? He he he it's only a prepaid mastercard hehehhe because I don't want to use my credit card in purchasing something online that I'm not sure of the site. I just want to buy some songs for my on-key mic (for karaoke) I have more songs now but there are still songs that I want to purchase. He told me last night that we will buy today so that I can purchase the songs before my birthday. For sure there will be a karaoke party as what Pinoy use to do during party :-)

MEDICAL SUPPLIES

It’s been 5 years now that hubby is sending some stuff to the hospital where my sister is working. He was sending toys for the sick children and clothes. When I arrived here, we started sending those coloring books, crayons and story books, all for the sick children. Our goal is to make the sick children happy and we succeeded because my sister told me that the children were very happy and they really en joy the coloring books. We also sent them some DVD.

Just recently, my sister told us that they don’t have enough EMT supplies. And hubby is thinking of sending them some. Since I will be going there this summer, it will be nice if I can give them personally the EMT supplies. We’ve check some stores and even online the best prices we can get. We are so lucky that we found Dealmed. They have the best prices of medical stuffs and EMT supplies. Shipping is free if you order over 100%. We will buy all the stuffs that I need to bring to them very soon. So this year, we will give EMT supplies instead of kids stuff. I’m sure, this will be a big help for them and it’s our pleasure to help them not only the hospital but to all the patients.

IN THE MOOD OF COOKING

Last week, I was in the mood of cooking. I know I was in a but when I saw the recipe of budbod (a pilipino recipe), I can't stop myself in doing some. I have all the ingredients so I cooked it and i was so happy the result was successful. I called my friend right away and we ate it like a pig he he he he. I'm not really proud of what I did but it's not all the time that I ate like that. Maybe it will take a while before I will do another batch of budbod.

I will try to post the recipe in my other blog very soon.

SO HAPPY

Hubby and I are very happy today because we received a call from the company where we applied my sister for work here. The Human Resources called this afternoon telling us that they received the confirmation from Canada Immigration that they are qualified to hire my sister. We are so excited about this because we can feel now that my sister will be here soon. She will be working in a tomato green house, the biggest tomato green house here in Quebec Province. We already have the papers from the immigrations that my sister needs to fill up and sign. Good thing that my friend will fly to Philippines next week and be back here April 13. In this way, the papers will be in a safe hand and my sister will receive it quickly and we will have it in April 15 and this will save us the processing time.

I am so excited to have my sister here with me. Hubby is so excited too and you know what? He called my sister 3:00 this afternoon. My sister was wondering who called her in the middle of the night. It was still 3:00 in the morning of her time. Hubby forgot that we have 12 hours difference. He really feels sorry but happy at the same time.

Hubby is thinking of buying a van so that when my sister will arrive, we can travel with our van together. I told him that we don’t need to buy a van because our Honda CRV is enough to travel even if my sister will go with us. But he said the he really wants to have a comfortable trip. It’s up to him; anyway, he will be the one to pay for that. And he already found very affordable van insurance at Autonet Insurance. When he looks at it, he found out that they have very good services in a very affordable price. Well, this is it. I guess he will buy the van before my sister will arrive.

SO SUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!

We have a very nice weather today. The temperature is already above 0 Celsius with sun. No forecast of snow for the week. I can feel the spring season now though we still have snow around us but it already started to melt. We we sent the box last friday in Montreal, I was so amazed knowing that they don't have snow there anymore. Montreal is always warmer than here in Quebec City area.

I'm so excited now to see the grass in our front and backyard. So excited to see all my flowers blooming. Too bad that I will be away for 50 days. I will miss my flowers for sure but it worth because I will be with my family in Philippines for 50 days too :-)

This is all for now and wishing you all a nice day!

I NEED ADVICE

Looking amazing is one of my many dreams. I love to see those pretty and sexy models and I keep on telling to myself that someday I will be sexy and pretty like them. I’m not a bad looking woman but there is something in me that I want to change. One of the things that I would really love to change is my breast size. I want to have breast implants but I’m afraid of surgery. I have lots of questions in my mind that I need to have an answer before I will go on to this so called surgery. I talked to my friend about this because she went through breast implants surgery two years ago. She recommended MYA cosmetic surgery to me because she told me that MYA has free breast implant advice and have the best and successful surgeons in their competent and reputable center. I’m so happy to know about this and so excited to meet with them.

TWO BOXES, ON THE WAY TO PHILIPPINES

Finally, my two boxes were already sent to Philippines yesterday. These two boxes are my pasalubong (gifts) for them because I’m sure the boxes will arrive before me. I already told my mom that if the boxes will arrive, they should not open it. I want to open it as soon as I will arrive and I want to give it personally to them. I’m so excited to give my pasalubong to them especially to the kids. I’m sure my two cute nieces will love the gifts and of course I’m so excited to be with them too. I miss them so much. I will be with them for 50 days and I want to enjoy my 50 days stay in Philippines.

SO GUILTY

I am not so proud of me 2 days ago. I'm trying to lose weight and I didn't eat rice and meat since March 1 but my friend visited me here 2 days ago. I was tempted to eat rice and I did eat it a lot. We cooked steam fish (at least, it's fish...inon-unan) and I can't resist not to eat it. We really enjoy eating our foods and after we both had a big regret. We went for a walk right after we eat for almost 2 hours of walk. And after, I said to myself not to eat again.

But just last night, I decided to eat rice once a month and I will just to lots of exercise. It's so hard to quit eating rice right away especially that I'm growing up eating rice 3x a day he he he. The weather here is getting nicer and nicer everyday and I guess I can go for a walk 30 mins a day easily. I'm sure this will help a lot in my regime.

HUBBY IS ON DIET TOO

It’s not only me who wants to lose weight. Hubby is also trying to lose some pounds. When he was working in Seattle, he loses a lot of weight because he only eats vegetables and he don’t have car there. He lives in a studio close to his office. He walked to downtown Seattle every afternoon after his work. He loves to go there and have coffee. Since he came back here, he gains a lot like me. We always eat in the restaurant every weekend. And now he wants to lose weight too. Every morning, he does biking and walks every afternoon. I think his doing a good job in his exercise because he loss 3 lbs in three weeks. I’m so happy for him.

I was thinking of giving him a surprise gift. Because he’s doing lots of exercise, I will give him a body building supplement which is really good for him. I’m sure he will like it. I’m so proud of him because he’s doing his best to have a good body for his wife :-)

MY FUTURE RESTAURANT

I remember when I was still in Philippines; I didn’t know how to cook not even a simple one. All I know is to cook rice, fried fish and eggs and the rest, I can’t. My dad told me that I have to learn on how to cook because now that I’m married, it’s my duty to cook for my family especially to my husband since we don’t have kids just now. But I always have a reason so that I can’t cook. I told my dad that I will learn cooking as soon as I will be with my hubby and I will ask my hubby to teach me to cook Canadian foods because I’m afraid that he doesn’t like Pilipino foods. On the first few weeks of my stay here, it’s always my hubby who cooked our meals and it’s so sad to say that I don’t like that much on their foods. I’m still looking for Pilipino foods. And the worst is there is no Pilipino restaurant here in our area. We still have to drive 2 and a half hour to go to the Pilipino restaurant. Oh my! I felt that it is really a need for me to try cooking Pilipino foods. I did a few try and it was successful. I was so happy on that time. Since then, I started to surf recipes in the internet and I invited my hubby’s family for Pilipino dinner at home. They were very amazed on my foods. They love it.

My sister-in-law asked me if I would like to have a Pilipino Restaurant here in our area since there is no Philippine restaurant here. Of course I would love to have one and I’m dreaming of it. I talked to hubby about this and he told me that maybe we can do it when he will retire. I’m so excited to have my own restaurant with my specialty, Pilipino foods. Just now, I’m already thinking of what would be the theme of my future restaurant. It would be an exotic restaurant. There would be lots of plants inside the restaurant and all the furniture would be a bamboo style. I made up this idea when I saw this bamboo (chiavari) side chairs in fashionseating.com. I really love that chair and it fits to my theme. It is simple and elegant chair. I can’t wait to have my own restaurant.

BIRTHDAY RESOLUTION

This is sound funny but that's what I'm doing now. I never had a new year's resolution as what others do every new year. I'm just thinking of this 2 days ago. You know what's my birthday resolution? No more rice, no more, pork, no more beef and no more sweets. I don't know how far I can go with this since sweets is my favorite and I can't imagine my day without eating rice. Started today, I only eat vegetable, fish and boneless chicken breast or turkey. Fruits for my desserts and milk and juice for drinks and lots of water. If I can survive until 1 month, then I will start cutting the chicken and turkey. I will try to eat just fish and vegetable. I really want to lose weight and my target to to lose even 10 pounds before june.

This is all for now and I will just give you some update of my birthday resolution:-)
