MY CAR DESERVE TO HAVE A GOOD SHOWER

I didn't wash my car since autumn. We're always have something and we didn't have time to wash the car and we're not really thinking of it :-) Today is a very nice day so I decided to finish earlier at work and then drive straight to the car washing. It feels so good after, no more worries of my cloths to get dirty every time I get in and out of the car. 

I'm relaxing now watching tv and blogging at the same time. I had another big day today though I finish at 3:00 pm but I didn't stop since then. After the car wash, I finish taking off my christmas decor in the dining room and the kitchen. Now is just relax and wait for hubby's call.

HARD TIME

Oh boy, I really had a hard time waking up early this morning. I been waking up too late since I took my 5 days off. I was back at work today and I need to woke up early to prepare. I set my alarm clock at 7:00 in the morning but I didn't get up at 7:00 hehehe . I extended to 7:30 and then took a quick shower. My time was so tight but good thing I arrived at work on time:-)

I will start again soon tomorrow but for sure I will get up as soon as my alarm clock will ring. I have to...I need to. Next week will back to my normal working hours, long day at work until we can find another full time worker that I can share my hours.

GUILTY

I felt so guilty last night because I can't resist myself eating this pepperoni stick. It's my favorite snack and I can eat the whole pack alone:-). When I was hospitalize lately, the doctor told me to avoid fats especially in the night (strickly no fats at night). It's been a while now that I'm craving for this pepperoni stick and I didn't find it in all the grocery store that I been into. Just to satisfy my craving, hubby bought me a slice of pepperoni that I really don't know how come it's not the same taste for me :-) . I know it's pepperoni, the same pepperoni so it much be the same taste hehehe but I didn't taste it the same way. Maybe it's only my imagination :-)

We been to Walmart last night because they have special on memery stick, 8 gb for $10 (too bad there was nothing left when we arrived there). We went to the grocery area of walmart to pick up some milk when I accidentaly saw hundred of packs of pepperoni stick. Oh boy! I grab right away few packs because I can eat it but not at night. When we arrived home. I try myself not to touch it to avoid temptation hehehe. Hubby place everything we bought at it's own place but after a few minutes, I felt hungry hehhee. Hubby was in the basement working the floor so I found the chance to grabe 4 sticks and put it in the microwave and eat it like a child hiding so that nobody can see me eating hehehe.

Just this morning that I felt so guilty. I should not do it but it's too late (masarap kasi ang bawal)
I have to be very careful now because the doctor told me that I have 3 months to heal if I will have to take care of everything I eat and drink. I don't have problem with coffee. I'm not that maniac of the regular coffee but with my macchiato au caramel? I don't know. I'm trying not to have it. I'm always drinking tea now, infact, i have tea next to me while writting this blog.

After 3 months, if I feel better, I can drink coffee and wine but not too much and I can eat with fats too but strickly not in the night.

Well, goodluck to myself and so sorry doc :-)

DONE CLEANING

I just finish cleaning the house..the living room, the bathroom, the kitchen and the bedroom. It's just a light cleaning. The living room and the dining room are still full of stuff from the basement. I just took out some dust ,vacuum the floor and change the beddings. I'm so looking forward to get rid of this stuff. It really bothers me but I have no choice. There's no other place where we can put all this stuff.

I'm now relaxing, watching TV while blogging and wait for hubby to arrive home.

HAVE A NICE DAY TO ALL!

HEALTHY FOOD

I been eating bad foods this past few weeks. I'm not eating good breakfast from tuesday to friday because my course is starting 8:00 am and I need to leave from home 7:00 am because of the heavy traffic. I wake up 6:30 am and prepare myself. So I don't have much time to eat my breakfast. All I have is a smoothies with protein. And then after my course I'm so hungry to death and that will cause my headache. So to prevent having headaches I have to eat but because I finish 10:00 am, the canteen is still close. I always have chocolate in my bag so I can have it everytime I feel hungry to avoid headache. I know chocolates are not good for my health but that's the only way I know to have something in my stomach. Sometimes, I go to the mall after my course but again, I'm not eating good foods there. I can feel that I'm gaining a lot of

weight now and honestly, I'm so worried about it. I know that it's only me that can help myself so I'm trying my best to control my food intake. Yesterday night, I started cooking chicken with veggies without rice. I know it's good for me and for hubby too. This morning, we drove 1 hour just to have brunch. I felt guilty to myself. I took western omelette but that's all I got, no dessert and just milk in my coffee (I always put 2 cream in my coffee).

Then tonight, my friend visited me and we decided to have fish for supper. Photos above were our supper a while ago with cantalope as our dessert. I guess it's good enough for my health.

FRENCH COURSE

Well, well, well, I'm back now to the world of blogging. I know I made lots of promises but I was not able to fulfill it. I'm sorry again. What else I could say? Maybe I owe all of you and explanation. I was so busy with my work before. I don't even have time to cook for our supper everytime I arrived home. Sometimes hubby will prepare something but most of the time, we drove to the nearest resto and had our supper there. I feel to complain the situation but I didn't because we both work and it's a big blessing for the two of us. If we have spare time, we always hangout together because it's very rare since we both work that we can go out and take vacation. But everything change since last week. My boss decided to close the resto where I work and that means I'm jobless now. Yes I am. But I'm not worried at all because I am already qualified for the unemployment pay. For sure I'm not getting more than what I got from my salary but I can have all my time taking care the house, cook for hubby and improve my french :-) . I enrolled yesterday to a french course. It's just an update of my french and the good thing is, they will not cut my unemployment pay. I thought being jobless makes my life miserable but I was wrong. I'm happy just now, stress-free and had the opportunity to improve my french especially in writting.

Well, goodluck to me and I'm so happy also because I have time to blog now. Have a nice day to all:-)

AVOIDING

We been to the clinic this morning for our regular check up. The doctor congratulates hubby because all the results of his test were all very good. The sugar, cholesterol, the kidney, the heart..were all normal and he lose 8 lbs in 6 months. I'm so happy for him but I'm not happy for myself because I gain a lot. I'm not surprise because I eat bad foods this past few months. I eat a lot of sweets and fats. I'm really disappointed but I have nothing to blame of expect myself. I told hubby and to myself as well that I really have to avoid sweets and fats. I will do my best to eat good foods. My only problem now is at work. I can't eat at the right time and I know that it's not helping me at all. But still I will try to eat healthy foods and do excercise at the same time because I don't have more hours at work.

So, good luck to me...

MOVING ON

As usual, I was not able to do some updates here as I promise. Games from FB were taking all my times after work. I always open my FB account no matter how tired I am after work. It’s like that it’s already part of my daily routine. The earliest time I start working is 9:30 in the morning and I always wake up 7:30 so that I still have time to do some games. I’m so lucky that my work is only 3 minutes drive from home. Hubby always drops me to work 5 minutes before my starting time.

Well, talking about my work, boss already gave me more hours. I can do the preparation now and take orders from the costumers. Boss was very happy knowing that I can do anything now from taking orders to cashier. 11:30 am to 1:00 pm is the peak hours and after those hours is very tranquil. Boss doesn’t need two or more workers after peak hours. The first few weeks I was working there, he told me that he wants to give me more hours but he can’t because he can’t leave me alone in the afternoon. But now, I can work alone in the afternoon while he’s in his office. I’m working 5 days a week now and weekend is always my off. He gave the weekend to the students. And to tell you, I’m the only worker that is not student he he he. All my co-workers are all students that’s why boss wants to keep me.

Few more weeks of work and I will have my new dslr camera :-)

NEW JOB

My day start with a good news. It was 9:00 in the morning when I woke up with the ring of the telephone. The call was for me asking me if I will want the job that I applied 2 weeks ago. Without hesitation, I said yes. Then she gave me an appointment at 11:00 in the same morning. I was so nervous yet excited. Nervous because the interview will be in french and excited because if I will get this job, this will be a good opportunity for me to practise my french.

The interview didn't take long and after a few minutes, he gave me my schedule for next week. He gave me 6.5 hours only for next week because I'm still a trainée. If everything will work fine, then he will give me more hours. Just now, 6.5 hours is enough for me. I still have more time to do my lumpia and more time to go around with hubby. All I want for this work is to practise my french and have more friends.

I can't stop myself feeling nervous every time I think of this job. To think that I'm dealing with french speaking clients, I have to make french perfect. Oh my! I hope I will succeed with this job.

Goodluck to me:-)

POOR MON MARI (my husband)

I had my french course this morning at 9:00 and we woke up very late. It was already 8:45 when we woke up and I still have to prepare myself and took my breakfast. But sad to say that I was not able to do any of them. I was not able to wash my face. I just change my cloths and went straight to the car. We stop at mcdonald and bought a cup of coffee and muffin. Hubby was in a hurry so that I can catch up my class. Unluckily, the police stop us becuse hubby was driving 50 km/h in a 30 km/hr zone. We don't have any choice but pay what is need to be paid.

I feel pity to hubby. Anyway, that's all I can share to you today, the bad luck that happen to us :-)

BACK TO BLOGGING

(Photo taken last weekend when I had my first flight with a helicopter)

I don't know how to start this post but I will try my best to have one. I was inactive for a while because of a very stupid reason. I been trying to many times to make an entry but my mind was not working. I was very distracted with my farms in Facebook. I spend most of my time in that game and not even doing some house chores. I’m not really proud of myself. I’m getting crazy with that game. And now, I’m trying to minimize my time in my so called farm and concentrate in my blog.

Lots of things happen to me in the past few weeks. Some were good and some were not that good but not that bad too. I’m already in my third week of my belly dancing class. The first day was not exciting. When I saw the instructor, I felt disappointed because she is very fat he he he. But when she dance, oh my! Her body is very flexible. I like my belly dancing course now. I’m looking forward for our final show he he he.

I’m back with my French language course too. It’s really a need for us here to speak French fluently to have a nice job. I don’t really like that much but I have no choice. It’s only 1 day per week, so it’s not that bad at all.

We’re always away from home every weekend. And hopefully, I can share to you the photo of our weekend trip soon. I will not promise but I will try.

I guess I have to go now. See you next time guys!

LONESOME

(Photo was taken at Starlight Beach during my vacation)

It's exactly one month today since I came back from my vacation in Philippines. I don't know why but I feel lonesome since I woke up this morning until now. I tried to make myself busy but I can't stop my tears falling. Good thing that hubby is always here to comfort me. He drove me to my favorite place...I felt better when I saw the water flowing the river. Water is really a therapy for me. Everytime I have problems or miss my family, I always go to the river next to our home, sat under the tree facing the water.. And most of the time, we drove along the river everytime we feel for a ride.

My life today is like the photo above. It's dark but I see the light through my hubby's presence. I'm so thankful to my hubby for he always understand me and always there for me.

IT DRIVES ME CRAZY

I'm sure you ask yourself what drives me crazy...hehehehe...it's the Farm Town on Facebook that drives me crazy. It's been a while that I join farm town game but I didn't visited it, not even taking care of it. Most of my friends are talking about how they take care of their farm, how much money they have and what they have in their farm. Everytime they talked about their farm, I felt shy because I have nothing to share with them. My farm was empty. So lately, I decided to learn how take care of my farm..how to make money. I started to visit my friends farm and did some work so that I will get enough money to buy seed and flowers for my farm. Well, my farm now is getting bigger and bigger. I mean, I already harvested some fruits and vegetables and i planted some flowers too. I spend most of my time now in my farm checking if i have vegetable or fruits that are ready to harvest. I'm checking them from time to time because some of them will be ready for harvest in 4 hours.

If you own a farm town, please invite me so that I will have more neighbors so that I will earn more money :-)

FINALLY, I'M HOME

I'm so thankful that I arrived here in Quebec safely. Hubby picked me up at Quebec Airport last August 8 at 10:30 in the morning. I was so happy when I saw hubby waiting for me at the waiting area. I missed him so much and I missed our home. I didn't have good sleep during the trip so when we arrive home, I slept for 3 hours and then hubby woke me up at 5 in the afternoon. He treat me for dinner and we went to see the jazz festival. I really had a hard time sleeping at night because of the change of time. I stayed awake until 3:00 in the morning. I didn't feel to do anything.

I woke up 7:00 in the morning the next day. We went to Quebec City for the Nouvelle France Festival. I was so lucky because that was the last day of the festival. I never miss this festival since I arrived here. The weather was so nice and we really enjoy that day. Hubby took lots of photo of me with my nouvelle france costume he he he. I will share to you the photos next time because they are still at my hubby's computer.

Oh by the way, I owe you a lot of my photo during my vacation as I promised. I'm really sorry guys because until now, I'm not finish cleaning the photos. I have a lot and I need to delete some of them. I don't have much time to do it this days because we are too busy. We just arrive from our 3 days trip to New Brunswick and more trips before the summer will end. Hopefully, I can finish my photos this week.

TEN DAYS

I'm so excited now for my vacation. Ten days more to go and I'm flying for Philippines. I already took my appointment for the vaccination (anti-flu). If I will be the one to decide, I don't want to have that vaccination. I already had one last winter and I guess I'm okey with that. But my sister is pushing me to have that anti-flu vaccine because she's afraid of the swine flu. Anyway, I will have it this week. I don't know the details yet but hubby already got the appointment. He will tell me tonight the details.

My luggage is already ready. I already prepared all the stuff that I need to bring like medicines, toiletries and some other stuff. I'm ready now to go:-)

WEEKEND IN BAIE COMEAU

I'm so excited now to spend the weekend in Baie Comeau. This is the place that I always ask hubby to visit. It's quite far from where we live so we need to stay one night in a hotel. Hotel is already reserved and the ferry going to Matane. From home to Baie Comeau will take 5 hrs drive plus 20 minutes ferry to cross the river. But we have to stop some places for picture so I guess it will take us 6 or 7 hours drive instead of 5 hours. We will sleep in Baie Comeau then we have to drive to Godbout for the ferry that will take us to Matane. This ferry will take 2 hours to cross the St-Laurent river to Matane. Then from Matane to our place will take 5 hours drive. But as I said, we have to stop many place for picture and I guess we will arrive home almost midnight. We don't mind what time we will arrive home he he he. We love to travel so there will be no problem.

I'm pretty sure that I will take lots of picture. Good that I have 3 spare of battery for my camera. In this way, I don't need to charge which is very hard because I don't have adoptor for the car. Hubby bought me 2 more battery so taht I can use them in Philippines and I have 2 8gigs memory card he he he. Everything will be okey:-)

I will post for sure some photo next week.

By the way, Caroland's Breathtaking Adventure is already finish. I've change the layout and I migrated it to my other account. Friends, can you change the link of my Caroland's Breathtaking Adventure? I really appreciate if you can do it for me...thanks. Pls feel free to visit that blog.
