Red Bow Ties

2010-03-11T15:08:00.001-06:00

I work in the retail store basically a department store which we sell clothes, jewelries and other home stuff. I belong to marked down team where we are the one who look for the items to put on clearance.

Two weeks ago, my team mates and I were working at the men's department and there's a guy who are shopping for bow ties. He called me and my friend and asked our opinions which of the red bow ties he pick is the best. I asked him what is the color of his suit and shirt. He simply said he need something that would go with black suit and white shirt. My co-worker and I picked just one red bow tie for him. Which he first picked too, he retorted. So that worked perfectly!

Morning sickness is over?

2010-03-11T15:00:00.000-06:00

When I started feling nausea I can't stand it. I have to get up early morning to go to work then 3 times a week I go to school after I get off work. It's annoying feeling. My hubby and I were praying that the nausea gonna be over pretty soon. And yes, it did! It only takes 3 weeks with the bad feeling...and now I almost eat everything except of oily foods.

I still don't have appetite to eat but I'm glad I can eat and drink water all the time. I used to avoid all food and even water because it keeps me sending to the bathroom (throwing up). Though I feel tired all the time but it's better than being tired, nausea and can't eat-right?

Well, I'm in 9 weeks pregnancy now and I notice my tummy is getting pouchy everyday. It bothers me to wear my blue jeans or any jeans that has button. I started wearing stretchable bottoms already. Oh well, this is the essence being a pregnant woman...body is expanding! Lol. I will keep you posted later on...and hoping I can start a new blog for my baby.

Wedding Decorations or Accessories

2010-03-08T16:02:00.001-06:00

After my brother's wedding last October, I don't know any of my close relatives and friends who are getting married soon. Anyway, wedding is a day where every woman in the world dream of. When I was a little girl I begun my wedding fantasy. How I want my wedding to be perfect...from wedding decorations, gowns, receptions and even for my invited guests.

When hubby proposed me marraige we can't wait but to get married really soon. On our first wedding just him and me. We both determined that our relationship work out and we both be perfect husband/wife to each other. But, when I got my visa, he came to Philippines and we had a big wedding over there before we left. A month later when I got here in US we had our 3rd wedding day. We are thankful to the Lord that we both crazy to each other because put God in the center of our relationship.

Who are qualified for disability insurance

2010-03-08T15:52:00.000-06:00

Who are qualified for disability insurance? When I heard about people who are not working I was wondering how they survive for a daily living? For some of them who had been working before and because of the health problem they quit and filed for disability. The government help them survive! There are some cases that while they are working they paid for disability insurance and when something happen to them they get some money. That's one reason I like living here in United States, you can save up for your future.

The First Picture

2010-03-06T12:32:00.002-06:00

Last week of January I started feeling tired, nausea all the time. I told my hubby what I felt and we both suspected maybe I am pregnant. We waited to take the test because I am expecting my period to come in the next week. A week passed but my period didn't late and I became sicker and sicker everyday. I choose to be quiet at work and school. And, reasoned that I am tired. Well, that's true!

When I took the pregnancy test for the first time it seems not too clear. So I asked couple friends about it and like my hubby they suggested that I should take pregnancy the second time. In couple days, I took the test and this time it prove that I am pregnant.

My hubby and I decided to tell everyone after my Doctor appointment. We don't want to disappoint especially my in-laws. They are waiting for a long time to have a grandbaby so we want to make sure everything is right. It was last Wednesday was my first Dr. visit. They send me to the ultrasound room and there we saw the baby inside my womb. The nurse let us hear the heartbeat too. Both hubby and I were excited and tickled. We can't wait to finished my examination we called my mother-in-law. She was shocked at first and doubt maybe Lance was telling her a joke. My hubby passed the phone to me and confirmed to my in-laws. She was laughing, I feel her excitement and announced on Facebook.

On that day, we shakenned the world. It was a great news for everybody especially for both of our families, relatives and friends in Philippines, US and other part of the world. God's time is always a perfect time! My Doctor said, my due date will be on October 10th. The picture above that's 8 weeks old ultrasound. That's our first baby picture.

First Doctor Appointment tomorrow

2010-03-02T17:43:00.002-06:00

This is it! I have Doctor appointment tomorrow...not because I have a serious illness but this is normal for pregnant woman. Yes, I am! I tested 2 weeks ago and I got the positive result. I called the hospital to make appointment for my first Doctor visit and they gave me the schedule tomorrow. Just perfect because I'll be at work tomorrow morning and when I get off my husband gonna come and pick me and we both are going to see my Doctor.

Our prayers that everything will go smoothly. After my check up we will inform my parents-in-law that they will be officially Grandparents soon. This will be their first grandchild so you know how they feel. They are waiting this moments. My hubby and I are getting excited and less worries too. Thank God for His sustaining grace and strength.

Well, I'm embracing the parenthood/motherhood very, very soon. So help me God!

I love my foot spa

2010-02-19T23:31:00.000-06:00

Last Christmas my inlaws gave me money so I buy the things that I want to get. One of the stuff that I was really like to get was the foot spa. Since I worked very long hours I need time to pamper myself when I get home,right? Yes, when I am tired from standing 5-10 hours a day but I can relax when I'm home. Since my footspa is still new I believe thespa filter is still fine. I don't need to replace anytime soon. Anyone can spoil or pamper themselves once in a while.

Protein powder

2010-02-19T23:25:00.000-06:00

Now a days I prefer to eat with meat all the time. I know it's not healthy if I keep eating them alone. Don't worry I like vegetables too. This week our closest friend invited us for dinner twice. I'm thankful that she cooked meat, rice and vegetables. These are good combination especially as Asian like me. I need protein to keep me going everyday. To make my food I take lasts longer, make my brain functions better. I didn't know that there's protein powder also. Have you heard about that?

She cuts her hair

2010-02-19T23:20:00.000-06:00

One of my Filipina friend here in Arkansas has a 4 years old daughter. One day she and her daughter were cutting papers and then suddenly she decided to go to the restroom. When she went back after few minutes she saw her daughter hiding inside the bedroom. My friend thought her daughter wanted to changed clothes again. She was calling her to come out but she was not listening. When her daughter came out from their room. She was shocked to see the hairs on the girl's hand. Oh yeah, she cutted her hair from bangs to the back. I guess, little kids get curious and want to learn on how to cut hair. Lol. Anyway, one of woman physical assets is the hair. We all want to have plenty of hair. Unfortunately there are some who are suffering from hair loss. But I believe there are hair loss treatments for women that found in the market now.

I Hate Acne

2010-02-18T16:28:00.000-06:00

I hate acne! Who likes anyway? My friend at work worried about her grandson's acne on his forehead. She asked my if I know some acne products that can help to prevent spreading the bacteria. I told her the honest answerred, I had no idea because I never had problem about acne disease. She was happy when she finally meet somebody who had the same problem she has. She finally learned what is the right medicine to buy for her grandson.

Glucomannan

2010-02-15T17:37:00.000-06:00

You may wonder and ask what is glucomannan? I asked Mr. wikipedia because I also don't know about this. Glucomannan is a soluble fiber, meaning is viciously absorbs water into a gel like blob. This is used when you are overweight and wanted to lose some weight. Well, for me eating healthy food especially the one that is rich in fiber it really helps to lose some weight and exercise too. But anyway, for any further decision you make about for your body or for your health consult your Doctor first.

Reunited with old friends

2010-02-15T17:31:00.000-06:00

This is what I like with our technology now a days. Everything is getting easier and easier. Since I signed up in the networking websites I met again some of my old friends.

Today, I talked to one of my old friend and he is working in Saudi. He showed me his children pictures and they are adorable. I was messing up with him about his daughter because she is so gorgeous. I told him that his daughter didn't look like him even a little bit. He admit, his daughter got his wife look and he is proud of it. Well, we had a long conversation and I'm thankful to be reunited with old friends after awhile.

Beauty is in the eyes of beholder! Each one of us is unique and wonderfully made. I look much, much younger than my age. People never thought I'm 30 years old because of my look. I look younger than my age. As I always said, I am blessed of this very unique younger look. Especially for women they are afraid of getting old. To see 4 lines on their forehead (wringles)! But don't worry, our medical people made a solution on this problen they discover anti aging product to help eliminates the wrinkles skin.

This is fun! My accounting language is showing off. As what I learned in my accounting classes office supplies is one of the current assets. Which means they are use daily or continuesly used. Wherever you work you need paper, marker, pens, right? Those are office supplies. In my previous work, I worked as an office assistant. I bought bunched of bond paper all the time.

My friend in South Carolina

2010-02-13T17:53:00.000-06:00

Yes, my highschool schoolmate lives in South Carolina with her family. She said she don't have nobody to hang out with since her life is focus to take care her husband and her kids. I am thinking when hubby and I are able to travel in the country we are going to see her and meet her family there. I'm sure there's Outer Banks rentals available close where she at. So that we will have our personal place in case they don't have available room for us.

Have you done this before. Me and my friend made a plan to roam around today. We were at the mall and went to visit several store too. When we went back to the mall we were very curious to see more people in line for eyebrow shaping threading. What they are doing?

With our curiousity we end up of doing it. We heard testimonies how they like the result after the job done. Yes, we also heard it is painful for the first time experience. I was setting on the chair and the lady started working on my eyebrows and I keep saying "ouch!, ouch!, ouch!". She told me she could not concentrate because I was loud. I can't resisted how painful was. But at the end I am happy with the result. She did a great job and I am thinking of going back there again. It's worth experiencing and worth of doing...they are fast and give you the best service.

If I am correct you only pay an entrance fee of $5 per person and additional amount if you want to try your luck finding a diamond. We all know diamond is one of expensive stones in the world.
