Our New Study

noreply@blogger.com (LadyJava) — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 08:59:02 PDT

Our study room in the new home is definitely bigger and more spacious. We are still arranging and re-arranging the home office furniture to see which position suits us better. I think I definitely need a bigger desk by the time I buy the new desktop PC. After all, I would have the new PC and Miss Fly running simultaneously. I've been looking at some designs online and I'm going crazy from all the

Cash and Carry Car

noreply@blogger.com (LadyJava) — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 04:42:45 PDT

There is someone seeing the car today. We just hope he will agree with the cash and carry price. What that basically means is that he would take the car as is, without road tax and auto insurance. He would also need to arrange to tow the car out as soon as possible. We feel that the price is really reasonable and that is why the cash and carry concept for this instance.Let's hope the sale

Tender Loving Care for My Foot

noreply@blogger.com (LadyJava) — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 08:46:52 PDT

These past few months I have seen the the starting of cracked heels on my left heel. I totally ignored it but now that my right heel is also starting to crack, I thought I better take care of it before the situation gets worst and it starts to bleed or something.Anyway, while at the Carrefour just now, the lady at the counter asked me if I had my "Real Rewards" card and when I say.. "err, maybe",

Busy Days!

noreply@blogger.com (LadyJava) — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 08:31:51 PDT

Busy days ahead for me with unpacking, laundry (the movers broke our drying pole so we had to buy a new one), shopping for essentials things like curtains for example (we have lots of windows at our new home). Then we got to get cat food and more litter (with Aggie still with her diarrhea, I got to clean the litter bin double time). Luckily there are plenty of cats and dog supplies shop nearby so

Going to the Gym

noreply@blogger.com (LadyJava) — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 04:31:18 PDT

Our new apartment building has a fantastic gym in place. Me and A were peeking in just now and we saw a variety of the equipments there. I'm eyeing that cycling machine to tone done my thigh for sure. Rumor has it they are even bringing in some ping pong tables as well. As I don't play I'm not that excited but you could see the glee on some of the younger guys when they heard the news.Oh well, I

Wrinkles?

noreply@blogger.com (LadyJava) — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 05:16:58 PDT

I don't know which one I hate the most, packing or unpacking. One thing I do know is that while unpacking I found my perfume box, my pearl necklace and even some samples of wrinkle cream that I got from a secretarial lunch I attended sometime back. I wonder if those cream have an expiration date because I sure need to start using one now! heheheCheerio...

Block Buster Diet

noreply@blogger.com (LadyJava) — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 07:58:14 PDT

My friends and I have been talking about going on a blockbuster diet for the longest time. However, there always seems to be excuses as to why we can't start and if we do make an attempt to start, why we can't continue.So.. I am trying to look for alternatives to lose weight for sure. I've gained 2kilos in the past month and it is really worrying. I heard Decaslim is a good supplement to try to

Discovering Cancer

noreply@blogger.com (LadyJava) — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 07:57:46 PDT

Ever since my MIL was diagnosed with lung cancer recently, the family especially my father in law has been reading a lot on all sorts of cancer and it's treatment. From the "famous" one like breast and colon cancer to the rare ones like mesothelioma. He even researched into alternative medicine for my MIL.My MIL has gone thorough surgery and is recovering nicely. She is scheduled to go through

New TV Stand for Us

noreply@blogger.com (LadyJava) — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 07:58:24 PDT

We have this huge television set that we love. The only problem is it is too big and heavy that the tv stand we have right now is not able to take the weight and we can actually see the base of the stand looping to one side.. lol!So since we are moving, we thought that perhaps now is the best time to look at tv stands to replace the new one. We are looking for one that is attractive and

Taking Stock

noreply@blogger.com (LadyJava) — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 09:39:26 PDT

I was cleaning out our medicine cabinet today and to my amazement I had medicine from as long as 3years ago.. hahah.. I think if I were to take those expired medicine now, I would probably need more medicine to get rid of the poison from body! I would probably need to colon cleanse my system as well....lol!The house is looking bare with all the furnitures now all pushed to one side. This move is

Keeping Track of Business

noreply@blogger.com (LadyJava) — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 13:18:33 PDT

I deal with a lot of clients and the only way to really keep track of the work I've done for them, I have a database that tells me when I last contacted them, what jobs are pending and whether I have invoiced them on the completed project. I used a simple database system that I've done myself and it does the job.However, if you own a big business, keeping in contact and always knowing where you

Wrinkles?

noreply@blogger.com (LadyJava) — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 12:52:50 PDT

What is your skin care regime? Mine is as basic as it gets. I wash my face using facial cleanser and then moisturize using a day cream or a night cream. I use a mask sometime and that is a long. sometimes... I can't even remember the last time I went for a facial.I've always had a clear complexion which is why I've never really paid any special attention to my face. I know it's bad but I've just

I said it once and I'll said it .. Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend.

Best Fat Burner

noreply@blogger.com (LadyJava) — Mon, 25 May 2009 08:22:28 PDT

What is the best fat burner? Well, don't ask me.. because I'm still looking.I'm guessing the answer is like, a blockbuster diet as my friends call it, but there must be an easier way than to stop eating. I want something that will enable me to eat and eat but still not worry about the all those fat.Arghh!! Why am I always so hungry?? I'm almost scared to step on the weighing scale :(First

My Cosmetic Secret

noreply@blogger.com (LadyJava) — Mon, 25 May 2009 08:09:33 PDT

I guess everyone has one of this. That one thing that you would never leave the house without putting on your face. For me it's my eye liner because no matter how much sleep I get, my eyes always makes me look tired. So to remedy this.. I turn to my good old eyeliner.. not to make my eyes appear bigger but rather to make it appear perkier.I'm thinking of trying eye creams soon too. After all,

In The Mood to Shop

noreply@blogger.com (LadyJava) — Sun, 17 May 2009 15:46:04 PDT

and so I shall :)I'm nearly going bald now because of the hair pulling from the slow internet connection. Not sure if it's my internet provider or the internet as a whole! I've been pulling hair from this afternoon. So I thought since I'm in the mood to shop, I may as well get the playstation 3 to while away my time in the future just in case the internet go crazy on me again. At least next time

noreply@blogger.com (LadyJava) — Tue, 12 May 2009 13:53:33 PDT

Of late, my appetite has really gone on overdrive. When I'm having lunch, all I can think about is what to have for dinner and then when I'm having dinner, all I think about is what will I have for supper! If this continue I really need to get some sort of appetite suppressant for sure!I already feel so heavy and this sudden boost of appetite is really no good. Sigh... Any tips?

Where Did It Go?

noreply@blogger.com (LadyJava) — Sun, 03 May 2009 03:32:02 PDT

I use to remember when I had to take food supplements to gain weight. Yeap.. I was THAT underweight. I can't believe that NOW I am actually contemplating taking weight loss pills!Where did that metabolism rate go? I miss the good old times when I all need to worry is finishing my food and not the calories that went into it! Sigh.. such is life and getting old eh?Cheerio...

Just Stop Eating

noreply@blogger.com (LadyJava) — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 11:17:39 PDT

While most diet pill works for the masses, there are those that don't. So it is really up to you to find out what works for you and what doesn't. So personally for me, cutting down meals always works when all else fails. You might get hungry but it is so worth it when I can fit into that awesome dress in the closet :)Cheerio...
