In my quest to lose weight here I am again talking about looking for the best diet pills available in the market. I am trying to make this work. And I am telling you I will make this work specially if it means it is going to make me slim which is basically the point right? The husband and I have talked about it and he supports my desire to lose weight because I yap about it all the time. I hate to look at myself in the mirror with all the fats in my tummy. Let’s all hope this works and that I will have the will to continue doing this because I have tried doing this before and stopped which made me gain more weight instead of losing it. The first person to be happy when I get my desired weight will be my husband and of course me. It feels good to be lightweight even for a few months before I get pregnant again.

lemon grass
July 31st, 2008
I have about five plants in our garden which the husband has been urging me to either give away some or sell it to whoever is interested. I like to use lemon grass when I cook some Filipino recipe like tinolang isda. Also when we roast whole chicken because it makes the food really smell good. Even our Jamaican friends from our previous apartment used to ask it from me for medicinal purposes they said. I just like to look at the plants in our garden and know that I can use it anytime I want to cook anything.
another baby?
July 31st, 2008
We are planing of getting pregnant next year after our trip to visit my parents. Why after the trip? Because it is not feasible otherwise. The trip is going to be almost twenty four hours with stopovers and that is not really very comfortable for pregnant women much less with just a few month old baby. Besides I plan on gorging on filipino food I missed so bad. And too I want our son to be a little older when we have a new addition to our family so he will understand better and help mama by being a good boy. I know you might have noticed it is all about me but I hope you understand. I am the one who gets pregnant anyway even if the husband will pay for everything 
And with having a new baby means getting new things for him or her too. Like baby cribs, highchairs, and travel cots among other things. We have all these right now but with almost two years of use most are getting worn out. All these were bought for a baby boy and if we will have a baby girl then all the more reason to buy new ones. We want to prepare for the new addition to our growing family, even if it won’t be until next year. Hence the plans. We hope all will fall into place though. b4uing1
playing rough
July 30th, 2008
My stepdaughter was here this morning to use our computer since they don’t have internet connection yet because they are still in transition to their new place. And she brought along her two kids, a toddler who is only five months younger than my son and a one month old baby girl. My son was curious about the car seat where the baby was at so I lifted him up so he can look. He liked it. He has always like babies. He smiled and just looked at her and didn’t even try to touch. The boy on the other hand wanted to play and he plays rough too. I don’t know why he does that but when he gets near my son he grabs him and then sinks his teeth on my son’s body parts whatever he gets hold of. Now my little boy is careful around other kids. We often told him to be nice and so that’s what he does. And even if his nephew hurts him he just rubs the area where it hurts and then tries to get away. Now my husband doesn’t like that, of course what parent wants his kid hurt by another kid? He says to fight back which is funny because I know if he only can he would grab his grandson and blister his *ss 
But anyways, when they were here earlier my son tried to distance himself from his nephew no matter if the latter followed him around. I don’t blame him because when he gets too near the other kid just jumps on him. It was funny but frustrating as well. Of course I want them to play but not hurt each other. Maybe when bubby’s nephew gets older he will start to mellow down and they can play without hurting each other. And I hope my son will not be bullied when he starts school. We just want him to be a good kid, not somebody else punching bag.
tuesday toot: blogging mama
July 29th, 2008
I have been trying to update my blogs and drive more traffic to each and if you have eight blogs that is not an easy feat. I am trying though and I think between taking care of my son and husband and some household chores not to mention some alone time for myself and then blogging, I may be doing a decent job. It is not easy but I am coping up. This is my only hobby that also allows me to earn a little amount since I am a stay at home mother. Blogging and maintaining a few blogs is my little accomplishment that the husband also supports. It gives me financial freedom no matter how limited it is. I love blogging and even though it is a little overwhelming at times I am not planning to give this up. I just need to balance things out and hope for my boys to understand.
busybody
July 26th, 2008
With my son being inquisitive as he is right now I have to hide anything sharp from knives to pizza cutter, to peelers and even a box cutter hubby bought. This is for his own safety and for our piece of mind. We can’t just leave things lying around or it will be trouble. Just a few minutes ago he got so quite I thought he was with his father but when I looked for him he was messing with my purse and found my cellphone. Good thing he didn’t call anybody. He sure was angry when I took the phone from his hands.
i have got to go
July 26th, 2008
To the filipino store tomorrow. It has been two weekends since I asked hubby to drive me to the store because I need some soy sauce and filipino food. We got sidetracked though because of things we have to do. I am out of rice noodles and I plan to pick a few junkfood to munch on too. He promised to bring me tomorrow which I can’t really afford to forget. I have to write down a reminder somewhere.
postponed trip
July 26th, 2008
My first year here and while our son was only two months old my husband wanted us to go to Florida and even planned about it. He searched online for Orlando vacations and thought about going off season so we wouldn’t have to pay too much money on our trip. I didn’t like the idea though and i told him about it. He was not too happy with my reasons which were 1) bubby was too young to even enjoy the trip and 2) he was too young to be on a long trip anyways. Not to mention we just started saving up so we didn’t really have that much money to spare for a trip. I promised him though that we will go to Orlando at the right time. It is just not now.
