Random Post.
I am thinking of getting a haircut. Maybe before the week ends. My hair is a bit long and it’s taking me some time to shampoo it. I need a cut that ’s easy to maintain and doesn’t need much combing.
Contemplating of setting a new blog again. I am wanting to try out sewing again and I figured I might need a new blog for this one. I will be starting from scratch again if ever. And maybe submit it to free directories to get some traffic.
Too much things to do in the house. Breathe in, breathe out.

Fresh.
My SIL gave me a bottle of a really fresh-smelling foaming bath cream. I used it at once and I did have a refreshing shower. I can’t remember the last time I got myself these bath creams. I used to love these before, but then motherhood got in the way. I know it’s not a valid excuse as we still need to take care of ourselves. But when you have a little one to take care of, even a little shower time can become a luxury. And it takes a little more time to rinse this off as compared to ordinary soaps. Anyway, my boy is bigger now so I guess it’s time that I should indulge in these little things again. And DH told me to buy myself more of the bath essentials that I used to love. Maybe I should start reading lipozene reviews, too. I still have a few pounds I need to shed.

On Blogging.
I was never aware rankings, traffic and SEO until recently. Aside from having an outlet, I did learn a lot of stuff from blogging. I also gained friends and I am able buy a few little things for myself and my family. But it’s not always easy as to maintain a blog, you also need to boost your site’s ranking and traffic. Good thing I stumbled upon a free seo software. It promises to boost both the site’s traffic and ranking. I have to try this one out.
Am I?
I do prefer gift cards so the recipient can get something that she really wants. Plus it will take me forever to decide on a gift for someone, so gift card is the best choice for me.

Uh-oh.
It certainly looks like asthma is in the house again. Tsk. tsk. We have to go somewhere tomorrow and DS can’t afford to get sick. He didn’t go to school today, even if he wanted to, as I wanted him to rest. He seems to be doing ok now. I pray he recovers real soon. I really am considering replacing our curtains with blinds. We have several windows though, I bet this isn’t going to be cheap.
True.
Don’t you agree?

Family.
We got some family photos taken last December. Thanks to the camera timer and a chair, we were able to have our photos taken. I wish we can have a tripod and a camera remote soon as those will surely make taking photos so much easier. Poor DH had to run back and forth. Anyway, while I am loving these photos, I think it’s about time that I seriously take care of my skin. I am not so young anymore and laugh lines and adult acne and other skin blemishes are already showing up. I need to find the best skin treatment asap.

No Meat.
So I was able to stay away from pork and beef, and even chicken, meat for the last few months. It wasn’t as hard since we rarely have pork and meat for the longest time now. It wasn’t much of a challenge as I have always loved vegetables. I still prepare chicken though for my boys. I think this eating habit works for me. The only problem I have is I am running out of fish and veggie recipes. I am afraid though that this diet doesn’t work for DH, or maybe I should make him eat less chicken as well. Anyway, I am still reading quick trim reviews online. Who knows, this might me the one he needs to lose all those extra pounds.
9 Ways To Encourage Your Kids to Live Simply.
I like this article from http://simplemom.net/. So how do we teach our kids to live simply?
1. Be hyper-selective about your toy selections.
2. Make your own toys.
3. Rotate those toys.
4. Let them be involved in your shopping process.
5. Let them purge with you. {I tried this last Christmas. I made him choose the toys that he wanted to give to Jollibee, for their Ma-aga ang Pasko project.}
6. Have them earn money for their treats.
7. Encourage the right words. {This one I have to teach him. He is fond of saying “I want”, “I need”, “I must”, whenever he wants something.}
8. Be selective about their friends.
9. Sponsor a child.
Job Search.
These days, searching for jobs just got a whole lot easier and cheaper, too. I remember buying each and every broadsheet I could find just to read their job openings section. But that was a long time ago. Now, everything is within our reach, thanks to the internet. If you are in search of a jobs, do check out beyond.com. They have the largest network of career communities. You can easily browse their jobs by industry and location. Effortless.
On Sale.
We got these road tracks at an unbelievably low price. This entire set {plus a few more pieces not in the pic} must have probably cost less that 500 pesos only. They are from the makers of Thomas Train set so we can mix these with our Thomas set. We got these from Kidz Station in Powerplant last December.
On Investments.
I have been coming across several articles on investments. Times are really hard right now and safeguarding whatever savings you have is the best way to go. However how do you know which investment will give the best protection to your money.
I have read that investing in gold is very much advisable for those who are seriously looking into protecting their money. It is said the gold is more stable than any other paper currency and it becomes more precious in time. Better check out United Sates Gold Bureau if you want to learn more about how to buy gold bullion, how to invest in gold and just to basically know more about this type of investment.
