2 months

That' s how long I am staying here in Manila and i can say its been a crazy, fun time for me. A lot happened already with the 2 months and i've been to many places too. Just recently , I fixed some important papers for my citizenship , and i never thought that it would be that easy. I plan to try out some careers here and hopefully I will be lucky by 2010. My plans are not definite yet, but at least I have my plans.

Everyone is busy in my part of the world. Its Christmas day in 4 days !! Time surely flies when you are having fun! Have a Blessed Season everyone! Enjoy it with your loved ones!

badly needed

I am here in Manila for almost 2 months now, and I cant believe how much weight I gained. There's no need for a weighing scale, the fact that some of my pants won't fit me anymore says it all. With the Holiday Season coming, i am sure that a few pounds would still be added to my current weight. So now, I would really like to try those fat burners in the market. If I would start now, it is so timely that by Christmas time I lost weight already . So the food that I will eat then is just good to replace what i lost.

Why is it so hard to resist food nowadays?My sister and I are eating like there's no tomorrow. Add the cold weather at night that makes us carve for coffee and sweets! I should seriously start with my exercise routine every morning. Wish me luck!

At the Mall of Asia


Christmas is truly in the air. This was shot in one of the top malls in Manila and i love the concept of it . This reminded me that I should start shopping for Christmas gifts already. I have a few in my list and i still have a long way to go. Just the kids alone in our family, that can take up my entire day. I might end up shopping online huh, i also need to get my uncle an e cigarette . Do you know where I can get the best and cheap ones? I have been tremendously busy for a month, catching up with a lot of things. Hopefully I can go full blast in shopping by next week. Its December already and yes I cant wait for Christmas.

good food. great company.




I had a simple yet very memorable birthday celebration with my family last Nov. 18. we headed to Mall of Asia for dinner. My mom requested for American food and since we just had TGIF two weeks ago, we chose Burgoo. The food didnt disappoint us, though we noticed that the Teriyaki pasta is a bit salty. After the dinner, we walked around the mall for some picture taking because it is well decorated with Christmas stuff. we ran out of time so I wasnt able to buy some acne treatment products for myself. My skin is acting weird lately huh. I guess ever since I started with my 3 jobs, my skin was all stresses out.

Anyway, we have lots of dinners lately and I will soon be posting them here.

What do you think?


Here's my latest pic from our vacation last week. You think I'll be needing those diet pills ? Eversince I arrived here in Manila, I am eating non stop , I always need to have midnight snacks . When I was trying out my swimsuit last week, lo and behold , it doesn't fit me at all. Maybe my first step is to cut down my food intake and have some exercise. I bought a lot of clothes from last month and I dont think i can fit on those. I better start now before I get heavier each day. Its a good thin we dont have a weighing sale here, I am not interested to know how much i gained. Not at all.

Slingbox for dad

I miss winter time. In my part of the world now, its a bit humid the entire day . But when the weather is weird for that day , it starts to rain in the afternoon. I don't wonder why kids and even adults gets colds at most times.

Anyway, weather cant stop me from shopping. I got dad his Slingbox already. I was supposed to get one during the Thanksgiving sale but i cant wait for it since the stocks are really running low. Speaking about sales , i am sad that I will miss the thanksgiving sale this year. I might just shop online for a few things for myself and my nephew.

Home Sweet Home

I miss filipino food that i am not amused to find out that I am gaining weight. Our weekend is packed with activities , a baptismal on Saturday and my niece's 1st birthday party on Sunday. Today is a free day for me , so i am reading about Pittsburgh Job Search. I have been delaying this because i dont have time , luckily now is the right tiime as I viewed a lot of job availabilities for me. Well, i really dont want to think more of jobs now, i am still enjoying my vacation here. But for sure , this will be very useful to me next year , when i go back there.

RL for me




Last minute shopping for me. I need new tops for my trip in Taiwan, and I tried looking at other sites, but I still landed at my favorite brand ,RL. I got a few items on sale a few tops and a nice flip flops. Actually, I was a bit hesistant to order online now because I feel like I gained weight again ( you think i would need the best appetite suppressant soon?) . But anyway, just in case these tops won't fit me, I will just give it to my sisters as Christmas gifts, hahaha. Too early, i know!
Anyway, i need to look for swimsuit at this time of the year. We are hitting the beach next month in time for my birthday , and sadly I dont have any nice swimsuits now. I hope I can grab some nice stuff ha, and maybe a cover up too. I need that.

I miss my family back home and I can't wait to see them on Sunday. Tomorrow, I have a lot of last minute thing to do like buying furnace filters for my dad, last minute packing and getting my hair done. I will be leaving late in the afternoon so i have a lot of time in the morning. I may be leaving this blog for a while as I enjoy my vacation.

Have a great weekend everyone.

E- cigarettes

Smoking is dangerous to ones health. We always see that being advertised at the TV and yet many continue to be addicted with smoking. The sad part is, some are still young and they are already using it. I know some friends who started at high school, and some during college. I heard that some of them already have health problems this early in life so they stopped smoking cigarettes . But some just cut low on their daily number of sticks. And i know some tried out the e cigarettes. It is the latest in technology when it comes to smoking. This is dubbed at the smokers smart choice. These E cigarettes can still give you the satisfaction of tobacco without its worse effects. It is odorless and smokeless so there is a less risk that others might inhale it too. Just in case you are wondering how it works, the unit is battery operated . So yeah, they have the e cigarette chargers too. I bet my friend who uses this has a charger even at his car . I have yet to research more about it because I only know a few. One of the best things that I like from this product is that it doesn't call for a fire . It is smokeless so there is no fear of a second hand smoke too. It is economical because there is even some e cig refills. I think this should be introduced more to the market by next year.

Do you know more about this? Maybe some of us heard about it already through our friends.

white choco !

UGG for me!


I just love this season! I finally get to experience the cold weather again. It was so humid last month in out part and I really feel exhausted after a day's work. My mom just kept all of our simmer clothes and she washed our winter clothes already . I am actually wearing a light jacket now in my room , i grabbed it as soon as I woke up. Clothes is actually not a problem for me during winter. My concern is boots. I wanted to get an UGG boots for the longest time. Armed with an extra money from my job, I am now looking for the best design for me. The classic cardy black of the cardy collection is perfect even for my work. The color can suit any of my clothes actually. But I also saw the classic cardy oatmeal , but i think it is hard for me to maintain with that color. You see , i work at the Arena and I am usually on the go. Im fraid that it might bet dirty in a short time. My other choice is the classic cardy grey . Just like black , the color is perfect . Now I am so torn between black and gray .

There's no other brand for me , only UGG . Just in case you are wondering , it is an Australian brand of high quality boots that is perfect for winter time. You will see a lot of people wearing it because it has proven its performance over the test of time. I am so excited to get my first pair.

Filipino foods soon!!!



5 days to go!!! I can't wait to eat my all time favorite sisig ! Every year , on my first day at Manila , I eat sisig for dinner . This time i wonder where will we eat. Any suggestions?

The pics above are adobo flakes and chicharon, my faves too!!

another vacation

October is finally here!!!

Two places: Taiwan and Manila!

And the main event of the month? Its the first birthday of my oh-so fabulous niece. I can't wait that I am counting the days literally. Come November, we are off to the beach for a family vacation. Its at the queen city of the south and It would be my first time in that beach resort. I have heard really good reviews about it. Hopefully it is like the manzanillo mexico vacations that my officemate is telling me. Speaking of work, I will definitely miss them a lot. But i promised them I will be back next year. I just need this break that's why I so want to be home in Manila now.

Tv babe


My sister bought one for our living room last year and I am thinking of getting one for my room. I love watching tv shoes and dvd's of my favorite movies , and I know i will truly enjoy watching it with this big screen. Anyone recommendations on a good brand and would you know if there is a big sale? I also want to check some tv stands at the mall, I am a bit afraid to mount this at the wall , a nice stand would defintely be great for me. I want it slim too and in black. I wish to get this before Chirstmas , its my gift for myself.
