Amazing the things you find these days. I’m no smoker but seriously? Who would have thought anyone would ever come up with e-cigarettes? Check this out:
A USB e-cigarette! Whaaaaattt? Wow, gotta love that technology stuff. What’s next, right? I know one person who would get a total trip out of this, for sure–my FIL. This is something to consider for next Christmas indeed.
Had the chance to meet up with a cousin and her husband this morning for brunch in the city. Always had fun times with them when I was still living/working in Seattle and today was no exception. Since their flight was later in the afternoon, we got the chance to hang out for a little bit at home and woohoo, I got free consultation advice on our kitchen. Remember that post about wanting to remodel our kitchen? Well, my cousin’s husband gave us so many ideas (he’s a true Handy Manny — I think he was born at Home Depot hahaha) and the best part? He made everything sound so doable for people like me and E. So much so, I’d like to get my work gloves on sooner rather than later. First stop? Home Depot!
The amount of ink we spend for my mom’s business brochures is insane. So much so I think it’s high time we just go with a catalog printing company with reasonable rates. By reasonable, I’m talking 500 brochures for only $109! With the cost of printer ink and nice enough paper, getting brochures done for us is the better option. Now one might say some printing company in the Philippines could definitely beat this rate but the idea of having to spend for postage in the end is a hassle (and would probably not save much in the long run). I’ll bring this up with my mom in the morning.
Back to my paper.
I’m in the middle of finishing a paper that’s due tomorrow night but I just can’t help but get distracted by all these vacation sites. Spring Break is next month and I’m a little sad that we might not be going anywhere. The little girl’s birthday is coming up in a few weeks and while we really had intentions of not celebrating with a birthday party this year so we can avail of a Disney vacations package, looks like we’re going with a party. Disney will be shelved til the summer or unless some miracle happens that E can get time off even though he just started his new job. I also dream of a couple’s getaway where we can get away from all this rain and cold!
I keep saying I want to blog more often but every time I set out to do so, I get distracted and all momentum is lost. I know there’s some good money to be had (and you know it too!) if I could just take this a lot more seriously. I imagine with an seo software, I could find the best web directories to list my sites on so that I could be found on search engines. Afterall, traffic is what one needs in order to fully monetize one’s blog. With more time on my hands now that I’m only enrolled in one evening class this semester, I should consider blogging more seriously.

You Are Mellow Yet Energetic |
 Most of the time you are a cool cucumber, but occasionally you can get extremely hyper. You are indifferent to most things, but a few ideas really inspire you. And when you’re inspired, you totally take off. You rest up most of the time, saving your energy for what truly matters to you. You are highly selective. |
. . . my body this week. Remember those baby steps I was talking about ? Well, I haven’t walked the little girl to school yet but I did walk to her school the other day to pick her up. I don’t intend to lose weight fast but I figured doing this everyday just as soon as the weather gets better will certainly help me somewhere. Plus, I’ve kept true to my word that I would start eating breakfast (most important meal of the day folks!) instead of skipping it (now, albeit I might be eating too much breakfast but promise, I’ll tone it down to measured portions very soon!). My sister and cousin are back in the gym now and I’m quite envious. I need all the inspiration I can get!
So I’ve been using Likas Papaya Soap for about 2 weeks now (not everyday, occasionally only) and I’m not sure if weather is a contributor but my skin feels drier and parts of my face is peeling. Is this to be expected? If so, no thanks. I feel like I have to “repair” my skin with something like a natural face cream. Prior to all this Likas Papaya usage, my skin felt soft and smooth. These days, it feels bumpy to the touch with uneven skin tone to boot. Not liking this at all. You are fired Likas Papaya!
Me, big time. I am itching to go on vacation again. Anywhere — Mexico, a cruise, the beach, even an Outer Banks vacation rentals trip would work for me. I just want to get out. And it would be so ideal to go somewhere during Spring Break but E just started his job and it wouldn’t be cool if he requested time off so early. Maybe Lake Tahoe? I wonder if there’d still be snow for Erynne though. She’s never seen or experienced it and I am so envious of the sledding pictures my cousin showed me of their Valentine’s weekend in Lake Tahoe.
I am going nuts!
Now that E’s started working again, he’s up at the ungodly hour of 4:30am. Why? He’s in the family room doing yoga and other best fat burning exercises he’s read about in his fitness magazines. I admire his motivation and determination to incorporate exercise into his life. I used to be like that, remember? Whatever happened to her, I too wonder. Baby steps, maybe? I keep saying Erynne and I will walk to her school in the mornings but it just never seems to happen. Like tomorrow, the little girl’s ready to go back to school but it’s raining last time I checked.
Baby steps. Like cereals in the morning instead of just skipping breakfast altogether.
