Celebrating Mom's birthday

noreply@blogger.com (jamjoel) — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 23:59:00 +0000

My moms 56th birthday was on 29th September 2011. I gave her a simple ring that I bought it here and she was happy. We had a small party in the house that only family were invited. It was on Thursday night 29th September 2011 and all the grandchildren came. On Sunday 1st OCtober 2011 we all went to the beach in Karancho, Maribago to celebrate Nanay's birthday. My friend En-en came and her daugther. All of us had a good fun and we had too many foods, fish, squid, pork, sweet potatoes, banana and etc. We were all filled up that day and my kids really enjoyed in the sea. They spent much in the sea because when we were abroad, we didn't take the kids to the beach. We all went home around 4pm and I was the driver to send them home from the beach.

Here are some pictures taken...

High Cholesterol

noreply@blogger.com (jamjoel) — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 02:43:00 +0000

Last week, I went to the Doctor after hubby and I dropped our son to school. I asked hubby to take me to the Doctor because I can't breath and my heart was palpitating. As soon as I got there the Doctor said that I should have ECG then he took blood and check for my cholesterol level and sugar. After all the test my ECG result says that POOR PROGRESSIVE and my cholesterol was a bit high 203 which the normal is 180.My hemoglobin was low therefore he prescribed me three different medicines one for the iron and two others are for my cholesterol. The Doctor told me to stop eating fatty foods that makes my cholesterol high, so now I always look what I eat. The result of eating too much food such as fried chicken and letchon baboy gives me high cholesterol. This morning, I started walking an hour to help lower my cholesterol and I admit that I gained so much weight now that I am here in Philippines. When I was in Qatar I was a bit slimmer compare now, I used to go to the gym 4x a week but I can't go most often here in the Philippines because all the equipments in the gym that I go are all manual. Yes, I know it's not a good reason but I still need to adjust and eventually I will use to it.

I want to reach my goal to lose weigh this time. I don't want to feel ill.....

Selena has got rashes..

noreply@blogger.com (jamjoel) — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 00:44:00 +0000

Hubby and I are so worried of Selena's rashes, the worst one is under her eyes. Hubby kept on putting a hydrocortizone but it didn't help. Last Sunday, we took Selena to the Doctor but they told us to go to the ER because there were no Doctors around. There was a Doctor who helped us but then she only gave us the antiesthamine. She told us to come back the next day which is Monday because the allergycology will be opened. When we came backthe next day the allergycology wasn't around and he will be back on Wednesday. Therefore, we went to Dermclinic in SM City Cebu. The Doctor was really good, she told us what might be the reasons of Selena's rashes, so she prescribed us the mild soap , moisturiser and 1% hydrocortiozone. It was a bit expensive but hubby didn't mind the cost as long as can get rid off Selena's rashes. One day later after we used the mild soap,moisturiser and hydrocortizone, Selena's rasher is gone off. Her skin is back to soft and the redness are gone too.

Now, Selena's skin is so nice and we are still kept on using the moisuriser, mild soap and sometimes use the hydrocortizone if we notice some redness. Selena is happy and no more itchyness and rasher!!!

Hubby and Selena are not feeling well!

noreply@blogger.com (jamjoel) — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 02:28:00 +0000

Early morning, Selena woke up so grumpy and cried a lot. She woke up before 6am and it was still nice to stay in bed but she wanted to get up and looking her dad. I told hubby not to take Selena in school when we drop off Joel but as soon as the car started she wanted to get in the car. I didn't resist so she will stop crying. I can really tell that she is not 100% because she has runny nose and cough. After dropping off Joel to school we headed to Doctor Alan Saberon coz hubby wanted to have check up of his glands. He said that he has sore throat and glands are swollen. When we were at the Doctor I wanted to use their toilet but their toilet is so small and dark. I don't feel like going in but I just closed my eyes and used their toilet. Hubby had a blood test for further check then he has too many tablets to take and two types of medicine for Selena that I paid 3715.00 pesos. I know it's expensive in the Philippines. But in the UK it's all free, that's what I was thinking that many sick people are difficult to buy for their medicine coz it's expensive and there are no free...

As soon as we got home I gave Selena her medicine so she will feel better and she might stop of her grumpiness. Then, Hubby picked up Joel at 10am from school. I just hope Selena and hubby will get better soon....

Goodbye Braces....:)

noreply@blogger.com (jamjoel) — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 06:38:00 +0000

I admit that when I was a little girl my teeth wasn't straight and nice. My teeth was small and the gap was so obvious everytime I smile, I feel so awkward. It was so bad when I had my kids. I ended up without any bite in the front teeth, after I went to the dentist and had done my brigdes at the back teeth. I left it too long and didn't do anything until I can afford to have braces on. My husband was so good that he agreed and paid for my braces. Then, after 15 months wearing braces I now see the result and it was worthy having braces. I went to my dentist today and have checked my braces and she said that it's alright to remove the braces because my bite has back in the front and also the gap between my teeth are closer now. I was in the dentist for almost two hours but I would say that it is worthy of patiently waiting. I have now a close up smile thanks to my dentist at Citydent SM City Cebu and my ortho is Dr. Pearl, she is very nice and she handle her patient so gently.

I would higly recommend Dr. Pearl at Citydent SM City Cebu.

This is the picture of me now...

It's time to update this blog!

noreply@blogger.com (jamjoel) — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 04:30:00 +0000

Hello everyone! Let me welcome myself back into blogging...hehehe. Well, I would say that it's been a long time that I didn't write anything in my blog for the reason that I was busy again of moving, can you believe it that after moving from France to Qatar now we just moved in Philippines last month. To make my story short, hubby resigned his job in Qatar and we decided to stay for this year in the Philippines so here I am enjoying the tropical weather, great foods and family surrounds me all the time. I am so happy that we are back in Philippines now, I don't really like to stay too much in Qatar for its too hot and the kids are always sick.

Here I am trying to get back in blogging again... Some pictures taken in Philippines..

So disappointed and stressed!!

noreply@blogger.com (jamjoel) — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 19:41:00 +0000

I was so disappointed today because I was waiting for nothing. The movers supposed to come this morning and there was a man came in the house wanted to get our things even it's not yet packed. I can't believe the miscommunication between hubby and the movers company. Hubby and I expected that they will come today and pack our things but I was so dismayed that someone knocked at our door and he was the driver from the movers company. They supposed to come and pack our things but the movers company sent his driver, i can't believe how the stupid manager he is. Hubby told me he spoke to the man (movers) and said sorry because he didn't read hubby's email that we need a packers too.. What a stupid guy he is. So I was so stress looking at our things that it's not been packed. My friends supposed to come tomorrow so they can clean the house but the movers are coming tomorrow also. What a mess!!! I just hope that this another movers company that hubby hired will turn up tomorrow and bring all the things they need for packing. Frankly speaking, I want to finish all this things and live in Qatar peacefully and no more moving at all. It is very hassle for me and for the kids. The kids might thinking what's going on why we always moving to another place but for this time if the company assigns hubby to another place in future, we will stay in Qatar because Joel and Selena will be studying this year.

I am crossing my fingers here that the movers will come tomorrow and I will have peace of mind then... so stress for this moving and kids.. Sometimes kids are lovely but they such a pain in the a$$ too give me headache....

Bank is cancelled already!

noreply@blogger.com (jamjoel) — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 19:33:00 +0000

I cleaned up more things today that we don't need to take to Qatar. I empty the cupboards in the kitchen and took all our kitchen utensils and replace the things of the landlord. The cupboards are empty now it just need cleaning and my friends are coming on Thursday to do the final clean up in the house so the flat is ready to inspect by the landlord on Friday morning. I met to see hubby at 12.30 pm and had our lunch in there, we had usually salad and baguette which are healthy lunch. We let the kids ran around after we had lunch and then headed to the bank to close our account in Paris for we are leaving soon. Hubby paid my 126.00 euros overdrawn in my bank because he didn't give my allowance for this month so I used my overdraft and he told me that he give my allowance for this month when we are in Qatar. It is a good idea of hubby to give my allowance when we are in Qatar so I can go shopping there and I have money to spend. Hubby left enough money to pay our house bills for next month. We are almost ready to go back to Qatar now, we just need to wait for the movers to pack our things tomorrow and all our things will be dispatched and send to Qatar. I am so pleased to travel back in Qatar because we are going business class, we always travel business class when the company send hubby for an assignment and coming back to Qatar. I was so surprised for the amount of our airplane ticket it cost the company £10,000.00 for the 4 of us. I can't believe how the fair went so high compared the last time we traveled in business class. But it doesn't bother me because the company who paid for it.

Today, was a productive day for me and hubby......we did another tidy when hubby came from work. So pleased for hubby who always helped me!

Messy place

noreply@blogger.com (jamjoel) — Sun, 24 Apr 2011 17:01:00 +0000

Yes, the house is so messy today for we are getting things ready for the movers to pack our things on Wednesday. Yesterday, was a bit of cleaning the house such as cleaning windows, dusting, wiping shelves, removed the things needs to pack and scrubbing the stained carpet.I would say that hubby and I did a good job yesterday. Today, I took out all our clothes from the wardrobe and separated some clothes to put in the suitcases. Most of the clothes I just put away so the movers can pack and shift to Qatar. It took me most of the day sorting all the clothes and some things we need to take first. The clothes of the kids are most small that they can't wear it and I was thinking to send it to Philippines when I am settling ok in Qatar. I will send most of their small clothes and even my old clothes so some of my relatives can benefits the clothes that we are not using now. I finished my job today for almost 3pm and I will continue to do another job tomorrow so it will be finished when the movers are coming on Wednesday. I felt relief at the moment that I did an important job today which is sorting the clothes, beddings and towels. But as usual with the helped of my hubby, he didn't let me down when cleaning, sorting things and even reminding me all the things I need to take with me.

Here is the state of bedroom at the moment...

Cleaning the flat...

noreply@blogger.com (jamjoel) — Sat, 23 Apr 2011 15:23:00 +0000

It's only 6 days from today and we are leaving Paris. We are going back to Qatar for hubby's assignment is over. He only have one year assignment in Paris, since we came here early April last year and now we are packing our things getting ready to move. I woke up almost 9am this morning because it is weekend and the kids woke up the same time as me. Even if the kids are awake before me, it doesn't bother me because hubby is looking after the kids while I am still asleep. He always do that when it's weekend looking after the kids so I can have a good sleep. Hubby and I started to clean the house after we had breakfast around 10.30am. I was cleaning the shelves, dusting, removed our things and put in the box. It was a bit dusty because that was the first time I really cleaned and wiped the shelves. I changed the beddings and used the landlords beddings so I can put away our own things so it is all ready on Wednesday for the movers to pack up. I also cleaned the shelves in our living area and wiped the things displayed on the shelves. I even wiped the tv because it was so dusty. Hubby was cleaning the two balconies and also wiping the window glasses. I would say that he really did a good job, spotless and I can see clearly now when looking outside. I hardly clean the window glasses when it was winter because it was cold to clean from outside. But hubby was really eager to clean and finished his job today. I was so proud of him but he complained now that he has a backache from cleaning and I don't blame him because he is not used to this job cleaning windows. I told him to hire some Filipina to clean the house but he can't wait till the Filipina comes. My Filipina friends are coming next week on Wednesday to clean the house because they work out of town. Hubby told me to stop where we finished and don't do anything else because we still have 2 days more to do it again. He don't have work on Monday next week because it is holiday in France therefore we have tomorrow and Monday to continue of cleaning the flat.

It is not much to do of packing because the movers are coming on Wednesday and we will tell them where to pack. We have more clothes to pack, beddings, towels, toys of the kids and kitchen utensils. We don't have any furniture because hubby rented this flat fully furnished. So, tomorrow another job cleaning to do and I just want to finish all this job and move to Qatar. I will miss my some other friends in Paris but I am sure I will have a good time when I am in Qatar which I prefer to live than here.

Yesterday was my birthday!

noreply@blogger.com (jamjoel) — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 13:30:00 +0000

I would say that I am 30 years old yesterday. Yesterday morning when I woke up, hubby greeted me with a kiss then he asked me what is the feeling being thirty? He was so cheeky asking me like that but that's real I am 30 years old woman. I answered him , that it's all the same in my mind and in my heart the only thing is I add another year on my age. I was quite busy yesterday because I cooked some noodles (bam-i), fruit salad and buttered puto then brought it to the park so friends can eat. My friends at the park came early than the usual time we always meet up. Sherill my friend phoned me that they were all ready therefore I was in a rushed to get things and put in the bag and took the kids with me. I was a bit ashamed for the result of my noodles because it wasn't that tasty, they always like my noodles but yesterday my noodles was blunt because I cooked too much and didn't know it taste not good. But I was still happy to share my foods to them and celebrate my birthday with them. Hubby came to the park after work and he asked me if I forgot my phone because he was phoning me many times and nobody answer. Then, I really forgot my phone. He told me that he saw my other friend Vilma at the bus station waiting for other friend Lina. So hubby and I headed home but before I reached the house, someone approached me and asking me if I am a Filipina and he started speak to me in French so I asked him (parley angle? meaning if he can speak English and he do speak very good English) He asked me too if my name is Amy and he said he saw me at Chatele the name of the place last week. But I didn't know what he was saying thought. I said to him no I wouldn't be in that place. So I started to walk away but he still talked to me and walked after me and said, If I can give my number to him... he was in his thirty, look descent, good looking and tall. I saw his car parked on the road put the hazard light pretending the car was broken just to get my number. Then, I was thinking my friend's number Vilma to give him but I don't have my phone with me. I saw hubby from a distance that he was coming to me so I said to the man and showed my ring that I AM MARRIED and I left....

Anyway, my friends Vilma and Lina came to the house and we had so much fun. Ate Lina came too and celebrated my birthday. I was quite happy even my birthday celebration was simple but I would say my friends rocks me.... We slept last night at1am after we been drinking since 8pm.....lol! I had a blast last night!!!

Celebrating our 5th Year Wedding Anniversary and my birthday!

noreply@blogger.com (jamjoel) — Sat, 16 Apr 2011 18:14:00 +0000

I woke up early this morning because hubby and I planned already to go out for we are celebrating our wedding anniversary and my birthday. My birthday falls mid-week that is why we celebrated today. Yesterday, was our 5th year Wedding Anniversary and we didn't do anything because hubby was working. Hubby don't like to leave the kids with other people because he only likes to leave the kids with my family members.He told me yesterday that since my birthday is on next week , we will celebrate it on Saturday. I was so excited that he also told me that I can get whatever I like for my birthday and he already knew that I like the LV bag. So he said to me, if I know where to go to get my present and I told him if we can go to Louis Vuitton shop at Champseelysees. I was so happy when he said, whatever you like. He will buy it for me as a wedding anniversary and birthday present so I was so excited. This morning, I did all the things before going out such as tidy the house a bit, getting shower and the kids too. We headed to Champselysees at 1pm and went to Louis Vuitton shop. When I came in the shop there were many people who are addicted of LV bag too. Most of them are Asian women, then I looked at the first bag I wanted which is the LV speedy 35 but it doesn't look very nice even hubby answered reluctantly when I asked him if the bag was nice. So we came upstairs and there were loads of bags displayed there. I looked at the new collection but it was 965 euros. Hubby said that if I can find not a brown color because I've got already brown my LV speedy 30 Demier. He suggested the white demier color but it was a new collection and it cost 1330 euros but what caught my attention was the LV Galleira PM so I asked the assistant if I can try it on. I liked it when I tried it on so I asked the assistant if they have a stock luckily, they got stock. But what surprised me when I paid was the price, I thought that it was only 720 euros but I was wrong. i looked at the wrong price in the wrong item. But I still bought it and used hubby's credit card. The actual price was 950 euros and hubby said that it was a bit higher so I told him to deduct 200 euros from my allowance for this month and he agreed. Oh, I love the bag....lovin it so much.... Now, I have a remembrance for my 30th birthday and 5th year wedding anniversary a LV bag that cost 950 euros.

Then, we had our lunch at George V restaurant. I was glad for my food, it was salmon with rice and vegetables on and a sauce. I was so surprised with the price of the food because the portion of the salmon was huge and the price was affordable. Hubby was having a spaghetti bolognese and he said it was tasty and Joel got a hotdog with chips but he didn't eat it all so hubby finished some of it. Selena shared my salmon and it seemed she liked it. Last thing, we went to La Defense to return the computer mouse that we bought yesterday because it was faulty. Then later on, we went home and relax with a bit of wine and pizza for dinner.. What a nice life, isn't it?

This is the LV bag, hubby bought for me.. and our lunch date celebrating our wedding anniversary and my birthday!!!! THANK SO MUCH TO MY HUSBAND WHO ALWAYS DO HIS BEST JUST TO MAKE ME HAPPY!!!!!!LOVE YOU SO MUCH DARLING....xxxxx

Bobbi Brown Concealer...

noreply@blogger.com (jamjoel) — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 15:16:00 +0000

I bought a concealer from Bobbi Brown last week even I still have a concealer from MAC. I was reading from internet which one is the best concealer and has a good review. It came out that Laura Mercier was also good, a camouflage from Make-up forever and also Bobbi Brown. Since, I went to Sephora last week and tried to look for Laura Mercier but Sephora has got no products of Laura Mercier so I went buying a concealer from Bobbi Brown. I tried it on before I buy the products and it seems that is good hiding my blemishes also good covering my under eye circle. I didn't know when I bought the products that there are two things to use. First, is to conceal the blemishes and cover the under eye circle. Second, there is a powder with sponge to apply after the concealer so the concealer will stay and highlight that was why I paid 31.00 euros. I thought it cost only 26 euros but it is 31.00 euros with the powder on it. But it is good product, when my friend took me picture I like the outcome of my make-up.

Here are some pictures on how the Bobbi Brown concealer look like and I'll show some pictures when i was using the concealer.

Selena 2 years old counting 1-10

noreply@blogger.com (jamjoel) — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 19:21:00 +0000

Selena is already 2 years old this year and she is a fast learner compare to her brother, she can speaks better. When Joel my son was 2 years old the only first word I heard him saying was WOW.. but this little girl, she's brilliant of talking and copying what we are saying. She likes to copy what I said and I was afraid that she copied me when I gave boliquen to Joel. She copied me and she even pointed her finger to Joel and said something. From the time, I tried not to show to her when I scolded Joel and not shouting them because she gets easily copy what I says. Tonight, I was a bit grumpy because hubby came home at 7.30pm and he was been from the pub. I don't like when he went home that his been drinking and not contended he is still drinking in the house. But my kids makes me happy when I am sad I just hug them tightly to ease the sadness in my heart. When I was setting in the computer tonight because hubby is drinking setting on the sofa and I don't want to sit on the sofa with him. I decided to check my facebook and Selena sat on my lap. I put the video in my webcam and was playing on it, Selena was making funny faces but when I asked her to count 1-10 she didn't do it but then I caught her counting on her own when she sat on the other chair besides me and she is very cute...

Have a look the video and see what you think....such a clever little girl!!!

MAC Primer Review

noreply@blogger.com (jamjoel) — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 14:22:00 +0000

I've been using MAC primer for almost a year now. I finished my one bottle primer last week so I bought another one but the new primer I got is with SPF 50. I was happy with the normal primer without SPF because it is really soft, not sticky and helps minimise my big pores. I like the bottle it has already a pump on it so I can use one pump only and not wasting too much. I was happy enough to use my primer before applying my foundation. I would say it is the best primer because I've never use any other products before. But then, I was so disappointed the new one I bought last week which is the MAC primer with SPF50. I don't like it because it is sticky, the cream is so white that makes my face a bit whiter, the bottle has no pump so meaning I pour it more comparing to the old one which has a pump on the bottle. I wasn't happy when I used it because the cream is so sticky on my face and after applying my foundation I can see my pores with foundation on it.. I mean my pores is so visible. So I don't like the MAC primer with SFP 50. I badly need to buy a new one and I am thinking to get a SMASHBOX...and I already read the reviews that it the winner of Allure.. It has a good reviews but it is pricey!

Here is the pictures of MAC primer.. The tall primer bottle is without SPF and the small bottle is with SFP. If you want to get a primer, just get the one without SPF..You won't regret of the result!!!!

My look for today!

noreply@blogger.com (jamjoel) — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 13:56:00 +0000

I just want to share my look for today here in my blog. This morning I felt like good to do some make-up after I finished my household chores. I film my brown eyeshadow tutorial but I wasn't able to upload it because the bytes is too big. I need to convert from MOV to WMP again. It turned out so good and it is good to wear at day time and darken it when you wanted to wear it at night time. I was using Sephora products for my eyeshadow colors and chanel lipstick. I'll try to post my video on how I did it soon. So keep on visiting my site so you will know how to do it. Here is my video for how I look today!

Alma Marceau Paris France

noreply@blogger.com (jamjoel) — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 08:57:00 +0000

There are many tourist spots in France. I can see many tourists coming in especially that summer is coming. I've been in many places in Paris such as Eiffel Tower, Arch de Triomphe, Seine River, Champseelysees, Anvers and Alma Marceau. Last Sunday, I went out with my friends and hubby agreed to look after the kids while I was out. I went out to meet my friend in Alma Marceau. Alma Marceau is a place where Princess Diana died in a car accident and we went there on the exact place. I was very confident to take the train on my own from Pont de Neuilly to Alma Marceau. I took the Line 1 to Franklin Roosevelt and took the line9 to Alma Marceau. Then I met Lina my friend at the station, we went out together and took some pictures from Princess Diana's place she died. Later, we went to see a play by the Filipino organisation in one of the theater in Alma Marceau. It was a bit expensive to pay for the entrance and the play wasn't that good. My friend and I were quite bored therefore ,we came out from the show and decided to meet my other friend Vilma at Anvers. Anvers where the Sacred Heart of Paris church and it is a very big church.

Here are some pictures taken on Sunday.

Musee du Luovre

noreply@blogger.com (jamjoel) — Sat, 09 Apr 2011 13:44:00 +0000

I had a good day yesterday because my friends came to the house and we had lunch together. They were the one who cooked our food in the house because I was busy doing make-up to my other friend. I was so full from our lunch. We already had a planned to go to, we went to Musee du Luovre Paris, France. It was easy for me yesterday to travel even though I took the kids with me. My friends who helped me carrying the pushchair and looking after Joel. The place isn't far where we live, it only took us 15 minutes to get there and we only got in one train. When we stopped at the Luovre-Rivoli station where the museum was, we didn't go straight away. We went for a walk to Sephora because my friend wanted to buy something from there and there were plenty of shops surround in that area therefore I found my favorite shop ZARA. We went in Zara to choose clothes because my friends were looking after my kids.What a nice feeling yesterday! nothing to worry about my kids while I shopped. Then, I was so upset of my weight after I tried a yellow trouser it seemed the size 12 didn't fit where that size was a bigger size couple of months ago but now I badly needed a diet. So i didn't get the trouser but there was something caught my attention a very nice sandal with a high heel. I bought it because I like the color, it was comfy to walk and suits on my feet. Later on, we went to Museum. There were many people or tourists coming in and taking pictures. I like it when I was there because the place was nice and the weather was brilliant. My other friend who were the photographer yesterday. We went inside but didn't look at the arts and paintings displayed because the kids were a bit grumpy. Joel my son was peed on himself because he didn't hold in until he got in the toilet.

Almost two hours I had enough and felt so hot, I asked my friends to go home. We finished our day at the English pub with hubby and had a corona beer to ease my thirst.

Louvre Museum or simplythe Louvre — is one of the world's largest museums, the most visited art museum in the world and a historic monument. A central landmark of Paris, it is located on the Right Bank of the Seine in the 1st arrondissement (district). Nearly 35,000 objects from prehistory to the 19th century are exhibited over an area of 60,600 square metres (652,300 square feet).

Here are some pictures from yesterday..

Estee Lauder Skincare Products

noreply@blogger.com (jamjoel) — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 18:01:00 +0000

Last week when hubby and I sat down and watching television. We always watching UK programs because it is English and we don't understand French anyway. Hubby told me to watch the advertisement of Estee lauder because as what he heard it has a good reviews and no.1 best seller. So I told him I am going to try the product as soon as I have time to go to the shop. On Monday this week, I went for walk and took the kids with me because I don't have anybody who can look after the kids. Even Joel my son was complaining that he was so tired of walking but it wasn't a long walk. He is always like that very lazy of walking but I can't complain him his only a kid. When we arrived at Sephora I went to see the Estee lauder and found the one that I like. It is Estee Lauder Perfectionist [CP+] Wrinkle Lifting Serum, it is a Corrector for Lines/Wrinkles/Age Spots and it is 30 ml content. But I was very shocked of the price it was 72.50 Euros. It was ridiculous price therefore I didn't buy.

Yesterday, after I cleaned up the messy house and I was so glad I finished before lunch time. After all my chores in the house, I still managed to do an eyeshadow tutorial and it turned out so pretty. I mixed up the light brown, shimmery brown and dark brown and this color is good for daily wear even you can darken the color and wear it for night time. This is how it looks like...The eyeshadow colors are from Sephora...

Meeting friends on Saturday

noreply@blogger.com (jamjoel) — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 21:19:00 +0000

I would say that I had a good Saturday this weekend because I went out to meet my friends. Yesterday, the weather was good, it was sunny and 23 celsius degree so I was wearing an overall but sleeveless and it was good for that day! I went out on my own because hubby was alright to babysit our kids and he didn't have any plan to go out. So I grabbed the opportunities that he look after the kids while I was out. It was a good feeling that I went out on my own no hassle with kids at all. I rang Vilma my friend that I want accompany because I want to go somewhere nice just to relax and have some coffee. So I went to her place at Duffrenoy and I was so surprised the place where they live in, it was so small and four people living there. I wasn't so mean but I just got pitty with them and asking myself how they managed to live in this kind of place. Even my kitchen is bigger than the room they got. But I didn't say anything, I am sure they are willing to move to another room if they could find a bigger one and lesser rent. We waited for our another friend Lina and she came after 20 minutes.

We walked to Victor Hugo and went to Starbucks to have some coffee.. While we were walking I saw plenty of Filipinos around that area because it is where the bank to send money to Philippines. I had so much fun with my friends especially Lina , she can talk and talk and talk. At 5.30pm Vilma left us because she had work to go to and Ate Sionet left us after we bought some things from the Philippine store. But Lina and I went to a pub at Les Dabtes we stayed in for an hour. I had some tequila sunrise and lina had some beer. I didn't drink for long time now so that was the first time I drunk an alcohol and I was a bit tipsy when I went home but I still managed to go home safely. I had so much fun that time and hope I can do it again before leaving to Qatar.

English Pub

I feel like not going to the park this afternoon because I was tired. The kids and I had a good afternoon nap and then when i woke up, I was so lazy to get ready and so as the kids. I need half an hour to get ready and also dressing up the kids. So I stayed in and watched some of Filipino movie from the internet. I also checked my facebook if there were some comments and messages today. Almost 5pm hubby rang me and asked me if we were at the park because the weather was quite good, this morning it was cloudy but later today it went to sunny. I told him that the kids woke-up at 4.30pm and they didn't want to go out instead of me don't want to go out..lol! I think my laziness strikes me today! But I was thinking that the kids didn't go out yesterday and if I don't take them out they are stocked in the house for two days. Therefore, I put powder on my face, got changed and dressed the kids too. I rang hubby that we are going to meet him but he told me that he is in the English pub. When we passed the St.James park I asked the kids if they want to play inside but my son said no and said he was hungry. So we all went to hubby to have dinner in the pub. My kids were so happy when they saw their dad. I ordered a chicken nuggest and chips for the two of them. I didn't order mine because I wasn't that hungry and I just had some drinks but zero alcohol.

We stayed almost an hour and we decided to go home because I was bored and the were many people coming in the pub and I was so anxious that kids were running around. We watched tv when we got home and had something to eat. LOOKING FORWARD FOR THE WEEKEND..HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND AHEAD EVERYONE!!!
