as of today ...

I'm still yayaless as of the moment (read here) so I still can't stay in front of the pc for more than an hour. Whenever I have the chance to sneak in a few posts, it has to be my expiring tasks you know ;p

Anyway, to make the most of my time, I bought Jon's laptop this morning. I was at Starbucks while waiting for Sophia's class to finish and I was able to write a couple of posts which were all expiring today. Hay, buti na lang :)

Tomorrow at 9am, Jon and I are off to Rosemont for our interview. You see, parents are to be interviewed first even before the kids get to have their turn. I wonder what it'll be all about. Jon canceled an important meeting for it, you know. Our motto has always been "family first" daw, yeah right! I hope it goes well :) Wish us luck!

on hair loss

Do you know of anyone whose having hair problems? Had he or she have tried almost every hair loss products there is to try in the market today that promises the best results but to no avail?

With the hundreds of hair loss products that are marketed on the net, choosing which one works is a big problem itself. It's good to know though that a certain site, TrustSource.org can help us make the best choice. You'll find the most popular hair loss products on the market today along with reviews from the people who personally used them in their site. With this, you'll be sure of the product you are getting. Just an example, a product for hair loss that tops the list is provillus whichis said to aggressively seed your scalp to create the optimum environment for new, healthy hairs. It supplies the proper nutrition required to bring damaged, dead hair follicles back to life. If you are not convinced, you should visit the site yourself and read the provillus review and decide for yourself whether you want to try it or not.

all about stretch marks

It's almost summer and this means beach time once again. Ever since I gave birth, I was never really excited of summer time anymore as I can't wear two piece swimsuits ever again. As motherhood gave me my most ultimate blessing, my daughter, it also gave me unwanted stretch marks on my tummy. Thus, no sexy swimsuits for me anymore.

I have no one but myself to blame though as i never really exerted effort to prevent stretch marks from appearing when I was pregnant. I was one lazy pregnant woman you see. I never actually tried any stretch mark cream of some sort as I thought they never really worked anyway. It was only now that I regret doing so. I should have at least did a little research about it and with the help if the internet, I should have made the biggest discovery - Diva's Skin care Blog. Diva's Skin care Blog is designed to cater to the skin needs of individuals. The Skincare blog will open you to the world of elaborate skin care therapies, skin-related problems, skin care products and cosmetic technology. In a nutshell Skincare blog is your very own skin care parlor, dermatologist and beautician all rolled into one. They actually tested and reviewed four stretch marks cream and it was revitol stretch mark cream that passed their series of tests. It has been proven effective as seen in the pictures posted in the Diva Skin Care Blog. Check this blog out and they sure will be of help to you. I hope its not to late for me though.

she's all grown up

Isn’t she?

I just love her photo above. This was taken in the car on the way to school one day. She gladly posed for me as usual. You see, she’s getting to be so comfortable infront of the camera already. Ready to smile anytime

As she grows older, she’s getting to look more like me, I think. My mom and my relatives think so too. This is how I exactly looked like daw when I was a baby. As I look at my baby pics, which I don’t have a lot of, sad to say, I can’t help but agree.

Here are some more of her pics that day …

She indeed has grown noh? Sometimes when I realize this, I both get sad and happy. Sad because obviously, I no longer have a baby who used to depend on me for everything. Happy, on the other hand, because I can see how in no time, she’ll be all independent and ready to conquer the world all on her own. In all honesty and humility aside, I am so happy to see how she’s turning out to be a kid who is very smart, happy and kind. So far, I can’t help but be one proud mommy She’s turning out to be more than what I like and expect her to be

MOMMY YAYA

That’s how Sophia calls me now. Her yaya left yesterday and I’m solely taking care of her now. The replacement yaya (her previous yaya who recenlty just gave birth) is coming not until Saturday so it’s all me and the little girl until then. My pc time now is very short - two hours a day the most so pardon me for not getting back on your tags, comments and whatevers. Regular programming will probably resume Sunday, LOL! I’ll just try to sneak in a few posts here and there as I have 20 pending tasks!!! Ridiculous, isn’t it? Super bad timing.

Anyway, have a nice day everyone

the swing

Sophia's new pastime every afternoon - her swing :)

I wonder if her love for this swing will even last a week, LOL!

the shoes!

After all the searching for that perfect "dressy" silver shoe, I gave up and got Sophia these silver flats from Rustans yesterday for tomorrow's wedding. I was supposed to get her ballet flats from Gingersnaps but they don't have her size anymore so I had no more choice. The dad said these looked fine though and the little girl loves them and she calls them her "glass shoes".

medical career training

Almost everyone I know are now venturing into the medical career field as it is one of the fastest growing areas of employment today. Everywhere I look at too, there are Medical Career Training Schools claiming to offer the best in the medical field which makes it a lot harder to find the right medical school in popular medical careers. There is available help though at Medical-Career-Training.com. This site was designed to provide its visitors with the most comprehensive information available on Medical Training programs nationwide aside from providing information on career options for individuals looking to work in the medical field, as well as the degrees available and course offerings at leading institutions. Whether you're aiming to be a nurse, an ultrasound tech or a healthcare administrator, Medical-Career-Training.com will be of a very big help to you as it will connect you to the information you need to be successful on your chosen field.

One medical field career I know of aside from the more popular choice - nursing, is Ultrasonographer. Sonographers use special equipment to direct sound waves into areas of a patient's body. Ultrasonographers properly operate the ultrasound equipment, which forms an image that may be videotaped, transmitted, or photographed for diagnosis and/or interpretation by a physician. If you ever consider being a sonographer or you know of anyone who wishes to become one and wants to enroll in an ultrasound tech school, Medical-Career-Training.com has a list of the best ultrasound technician school around so look nowhere else. Begin your career as a sonographer and start at the right track, choose your school from featured schools at Medical-Career-Training.com.

the shoe that fits

I have been trying to find the perfect silver shoes for Sophia to wear this Saturday for my cousin’s wedding but I couldn’t get to see one I like. Most shoes in silver that would perfectly match with her flowergirl gown usually don’t have her size. They are mostly for one to two year olds. How sad is that? The silver shoes available in her size are all ballet shoes which I am veering away from as much as possible. I wanted to get her nice silver “dressy” shoes, if there is ever such a term. Oh, just three days to go and she is still shoeless!

I hope tomorrow proves to be a lucky day. We’ll troop to all other malls near our area and I hope to be lucky and find her the perfect pair!

spinnaker II

I want this in size 11 for the little girl!

get from a reputable source

If I need emergency cash, where will I go? If I ever find myself caught between paychecks and badly needs money as soon as possible, where will I seek help? If I ever need instant money fast as lighting, where will I get it? I know for a fact that applying and qualifying for cash loans online is quick and easy and would be so hassle free as most of the time, applicants are not even asked for any documents at all but with the hundreds of payday loan companies offering pretty tempting cash advance options, I'll probably lose my mind deciding on which company to apply a payday loan to. Choosing over hundreds who promises to give me the best deal is also time consuming, don't you think? There is one website though that will help me go through the process of choosing which company is legit and is actually been tried and tested by other people. At TrustSource.org, payday loans and cash advance sites are reviewed and ranked by consumers who actually had personally tried the product. So if the need ever arises, let's be sure to get our loans from a reputable source, let's check TrustSource.org before we decide on anything and we'll surely be on the right track.

sophia and her pig

You'll never see my little girl without her baby pig. She has around 7 toy pigs of all kinds but she loves this pig best. This specific pig which I gave Jon when we were still bf/gf some 4 years back is Sophia's favorite plush toy of all time. Among her hundreds (yes, hundreds) of plush toys, from Minnie Mouse to Winnie the Pooh to Barney to Piglet to Dumbo to Elmo, this old pink baby pig is her one and only choice. She never sleeps without it by her side and never goes anywhere without it (unless you want her to throw a tantrum!). Yes, you guessed it right. This pig has been to every country we have visited too. Jon tried buying her other "nicer-looking" pigs but the little GIRL just won't trade this old one for anything. We really wonder why. Sophia and this pig are really inseparable. Until when, we don't exactly know. So in the meantime, we'll take this pig everywhere we go. And I mean EVERYWHERE :)

must have flats

I've been meaning to get Sophia this dainty, ballet, foldable flats from Nine West for some time now. They come in an adorable pouch for easy storage, cute eh? They have been out of stock for so long until I checked the other day. Oh please Erika and Peachy, make it happen. LOL. I hope these adorable shoes can still make it. Sabay with my BE starter kit, please?!

BE

Thanks to my online shopping guru Peachy, I am finally getting hold of this ...

credit card processing

I am a credit card person. Whenever I shop, I almost always use my credit card. I even pay all my bills using my credit card. I find it very convenient that way as I am uncomfortable bringing cash everywhere I go. This is one reason why I always look for credit card accepting merchants or stores every time I go shopping. It's hassle free shopping for me that way.

I always tell my friend who just opened a retail store about this and how she needs to set up credit card processing system for her store to attract more clients and for her clients' convenience as well. I'm sure having credit card processing services will boost her sales. She's thrilled about the idea and can't wait to see the results.

planners

What am I suppose to do with these two planners?

I bought the Belle de Jour while my sister gave me the Starbucks Planner (its her 3rd already).

Personally though, I love the Starbucks Planner better May lalagyan kase ng pen, haha. Babaw noh?

legit loans site

If you are in short of cash and badly needs cash as soon as possible, help yourself and be free from trouble, get a payday loan. Applying and qualifying for a payday loan is quick and easy, and in many cases there are no documents to fax at all. Once you're approved for the cash advance which you'll most likely will, the lender will electronically deposit the payday loan amount directly into your checking or savings account the soonest possible time. Most cash advance sites offer flexible payment options and discrete services that gets you the cash you need in an instant. The thing is, you just have to be careful on choosing which site to apply for as not all sites over the net claiming to be legit and the best in the business are exactly saying the truth. There's a site that I know of that can help you though. At trustsource.org, you can view top and recommended cash advance and payday loans sites on the net. You can actually read reviews from people that have used such sites personally so you can be sure of their authenticity and reputation. So don't waste your time, check out the sites you can actually trust at TrustSource.org.

bags oh bags

My bag targets that are haunting me right now ...

hampstead mm

chanel bowler bag

OR


chanel model chain large tote bag (i like one in black though, if ever)

Oh, help me GAWD. 1 Hampstead and 1 Chanel bag for this year, I'll be damn ALRIGHT! Chanel baby, you're freakin' expensive so I can only afford one of your kind this year unless I get my butt stuck at home for the whole year, no travels or anything which might just make me go crazy, LOL.

school hunting ends

For some background, read this first.

I took Sophia to Rosemont (Woodrose Preparatory School) in Alabang this morning to see what she has to say about the school and to be able to personally inquire too. She's turning three this coming March making her eligible to join the Nursery Class of Rosemont. On our way there, Sophia kept on asking a lot of questions like why do we need to check out a new school, if Rosemont's going to be her new school etc. I told her to look around and tell me if she wants the "new" school.

Once we got there, I was greeted by the school director as I had made prior appointment. Too bad we were not able to observe classes though as kids were busy practicing for a certain school program that I failed to take note of. Mrs. Del Rosario showed me the classrooms though while Sophia explored the play area. Classrooms were neat, not exactly new but was within my expectations. The kids looked very well behaved as I noticed. They showed me the Nursery Classes and I must say, they all look big kids to me. I wonder if it's with the uniform or something. The nursery class is for the 3-4 year olds by the way. It's a big question on my mind now if Sophia will be as behaved as them by the time she joins the class.

Overall, I must say I'm pretty much satisfied with what I saw and is most likely (unless I find a better alternative within Alabang too) to enroll Sophia there by June. The little girl loved it too and didn't want to leave, haha. She loved saying "hi" to the kids and playing in the playground. I got some application papers already and is about to complete the requirements before scheduling an interview. The parents are to be interviewed first before the kid gets assessed. Oh diba?

Are we really saying goodbye to Toddlers Unlimited already? I guess, yes.

haircut

I took Sophia to a kiddie salon for a haircut today. I had her long hair trimmed :)

She was an angel. Was the whole time watching Barney and asking all sorts of questions as always :)

***she can barely fit inside the car/seat haha
