Did I Marry My Dream Man?

Image
Back in my high school days, I was dreaming I could marry a foreigner  preferably a European who is a handsome and rich man. My mom already planned a good future for me because she promised me that after I had finished my course in college, I will follow her in Switzerland to live with her, have a good job and find my dream man. But it wasn't happened when I met my last boyfriend who is now my beloved hubby. I was living in an easy-go-lucky life since I was independent when I was in college. I live alone in an apartment, always receiving a monthly allowance from my mom, I used to hang out with my friends while going out bar hopping, partying, disco dancing, and  shopping where I could get all the stuffs that I want. That was my liberated life before but when I met Michael and became my boyfriend, everything was completely changed. And I changed a lot because of my LOVE for him. My liberated life was changed into a conservative one and I am so thankful for that because of Him, I

Ruby Tuesday - Swiss Flag and My Mom

Image
As you can see from her photos, she has a Swiss Flag because she lives and work in Switzerland for more than 20 years now.  It's been awhile that we haven't got a chance to chat with my mom online since she had been very busy with her work and she always have an overtime and when she arrives home, she have no time to go online because she's been tired already. Earlier today, she called me on the phone and that made me miss her that's why I chose her as my entry for this week's Ruby Tuesday .

My Simple Tips on How to Look Slimmer in Photos

Image
If you have noticed that most of my self captured photo shots are like this where I usually lift my hands and the angle of my camera is facing down on me, well this is my secret where I look slimmer in photos. hahaha! Now its finally revealed. As you can see I was seating down and my bulging tummy is visible. However, it doesn't look so bulgy since I wear a colorful printed blouse where I don't look fat that much.  Same thing also when I stand up, I do this kind of position and angle from the camera because its effective in making me look slimmer, do you agree with me?  When I am being captured, I usually placed my hands on my hips so that my huge and flabby arms is not so visible. When I am wearing a dress, I also used a huge belt so that my waist and hips can still be emphasize. You also have to stand sideways to the camera. Don't just stand direct but try to make an angle. The sideways position will make you appear slimmer than the frontal look.  Cover

We received a phone call today from my sister in law and she said that we will check out Tonic.com because their Life Story was featured on their website. We were so thankful for  this great opportunity for them because this is not only for their family but this is also for our church. I will share to you my Sister in Law's Featured story from the website: LIFE IN AMERICA: A Mother of Four Works Three Jobs to Support Church and Family By John R.

Well, this is

Mommy and Me Monday - My Daughter and My Birthday

Image
It's another Mommy and Me Monday bonding moments with our kids and here's my entry for this week. It was my birthday 2 weeks ago and we had a simple celebration together with my family and I really enjoyed it since my daughter was on the spotlight again. She is actually the one who blows the candle and just look at her pouting lips while blowing it.  Isn't that cute? ^_^

Why We Need to have a Car

Image
I seldom bring my daughter whenever I go out to buy something or when I pay some bills because she is just too picky in riding a public utility vehicles. Since we don't have a car, we just ride on a jeepney or a multicab. But she don't like to ride on it because she feels uncomfortable. She will say "It's too hot!" and said "Taxi lang!". She will just feel the comfort in riding a car when she rides on a taxi. That's why I just wait for her when she falls asleep during the day and that's the time I will hurriedly dress up so I can go out and do my appointment. Because if she's with me, I need to have at least P500 budget because that includes our taxi fare back and forth plus snacks since she likes to dine out and eat a lot. Whoa! That's why we need to have a car since she will be turning 3 years old next month and she actually wants to go to school already. And its a heavy burden for us when she goes to school where she always want to

Beauty Freebies

Image
A number of different product manufacturers and stores regularly offer free product samples. These free samples are also commonly referred to as freebies. Freebies come in all different size, shapes, and styles and they tend to include a number of different products. When it comes to getting beauty freebies, you will find that you have a number of different options. For instance, beauty freebies are most commonly offered by the product manufacturer. To get these types of freebies, you often need the internet to do so. What you will want to do is perform a standard internet search with the name of a beauty product manufacturer that you like or one that you have just heard of. If that manufacturer is offering free beauty product samples, there is good chance that the special offer would be outlined on the website’s main page. Although this approach is nice, it can be time consuming and you aren’t guaranteed to always find beauty freebies. That is why you may also want to explor

Ganda Ever So Much Talaga!

Image
I came to know GandaEverSoMuch.com when I saw a post of my fellow blogger friend where the site is having a Blogversary contest. I joined the 2nd Week of his Blogversary Contest called Be The Lucky Commenter Contest and luckily, I am one of the winners of Ever Bilena products. I am now waiting for his response and of course my prize. ^_^ I was not only enticed on his fabulous and amazing give aways for his contest but I was curious enough to see what is his blog all about. When I first visited this blog, my very first impression was... it was indeed a "Ganda Ever So Much! Blog". I was thinking that the author of this blog was a "Kikay" like me but I am surprised to know that He's a Man that has a very bubbly and humorous personality. I absolutely love his blog design specially the lovely looking frog on the header of his blog. It has an easy to navigate menus and pages too which I find it easy to read on some archives of his blog post. I am new subscriber a

My Daughter likes to have a Younger Sibling!

Image
We have a member of our church who has a 3 months old baby and my daughter really loves to hug and cuddle her. Our fellow church members are teasing us to have a new baby since my daughter is starting to show her likes on babies. Before she was not like that because she felt jealous since since she wants that all attention must be to her. My daughter will be 3 years old next month and most of my friends and relatives and even my mom had told me that it is now the right time to have another one. Actually, I am still undecided and my hubby has no plans yet. 1 child is enough for us but many said that it is not good to have only one child since she will become spoiled one when she grows up. My first pregnancy was a hard one too since I had a breech pregnancy and I labored where my baby was completely in  breech position where the feet comes first. It was a very delicate delivery I had since I just gave birth at home. Though I had successfully delivered the baby, but I had suffered ble

I immediately grab my camera and captured this pig who just came out from a cave. It looks like  the owner really made this cave for his pig since it doesn't have a shelter and a home. This is my Camera Critter entry for this week.
