Spent day 1 and 2 of the long holiday weekend with my parents and family in Laguna.
Was fun to have long talks and laughs with my cousins and see all my nieces and nephews and my two little kids running around and playing.
Time indeed goes by fast. So fast that it was only yesterday that we were just kids ourselves playing with barbie dolls!

I have been raving about pointed and transparent shoes of recent.
I'm so glad they are back!
Hopefully my special project gets done soon!
Here are my inspirations and I'm planning to make them affordable and as much as possible more comfortable. :)
Apologies for the topic.
I can't sleep.
It's been a tough week, coming from my son's confinement at the hospital.
Though work was exciting, the sleepless nights and panic at the hospital still caught up with me.
I guess that comes with being a mom and a workaholic.
But anyhoo, I've been into unique shoe pieces again lately, which are local brands and at awesome prices. The only thing I can't pull off are heeless pumps, I just can't balance and for sure will trip over. :( But I'm quite happy with these flats. I'm looking for court shoes (comfortable ones hopefully) if there are. :)))

5. Greys Anatomy
6. Revenge
7. True Blood
8. Once Upon a Time
9. Game of Thrones
This is me trying to get some sleep but still online surfing.
Also, the kids are pretty much still hyper and awake.
In the meantime, meet the cutest lawyer (on tv), Harvey Spencer ♥♥♥
When you're so stressed they pop out of nowhere in the most visible areas.
I will not show a very graphic (and horrible) picture of my zit...plus, it's almost gone...in just a day!!!
I don't market the products that I don't use and don't believe in.
I test stuff before I recommend too. It comes with being curious and being a mom...both have to be present if you want to know what works, what's more practical, affordable or higher in quality.
I have 2 pimple answers, unfortunately, the first one, unfortunately is no longer available locally:
When you get to organize (sort of) your vanity stuff, you can't resist doing a "test run" hehe.
Had the time yesterday to get my things organized (pat on the back..hehe).

Rummaged through my closet and decided to part with a lot of my shoes.
Some, I have worn just a couple of times and haven't worn in around 6-8 months so I decided to let them go for a much better cause.
I didn't give out heels because who would want to start anew after getting flooded in heels?
So I gave away boots and flats plus a lot of my kids' shoes, which most parents will agree, are rarely worn between the ages of 1 to 6. A lot of the shoes were only worn once as well! (Sayang and some pairs were even new so share the blessing).
I'm still planning to rummage through my closet and see what else I can give, not a reason to buy new ones but to make sense that, I really don't need so much.
I can always just admire nice pictures. :)
With that, I'll just have to dream of these babies as I know they're pretty but I can't really survive wearing them! haha

Panic and Blame - Major causes of self-destruction
Instead of being a burden to yourself and others, keep a steady heart and a calm mind and think of ways to make use of your time especially if you are not the one in trouble, either volunteer or just help in any way you can.
IF YOU ARE IN A SAFE PLACE, SECURE THE FOLLOWING:
Keep them close-by and ready in case of emergency:
1. Candles and Matches
2. Blankets and Jackets
3. Flashlights, Emergency Lights
4. Fully charged mobile phone/s
5. Emergency bag - clothes, easy-to-eat food, other essentials (avoid overpacking, the emergency bag won't serve the purpose if you're bringing your whole house!)
6. Medicines including rubbing alcohol for infections
It's been ages since my last post! I have busier than ever....
But anyway, I'm stepping into a lot of new things in my life.
With God's grace and my family's support, I'm off to a new start.
Speaking of new, I'll be doing some changes to the blog.
Most of it will be sectioned into interest areas, something I'm excited on doing so crossing my fingers I will be able to get it through the next months hehe.
To start off, I upgraded to Mountain Lion OS X and after 2 painstaking days of downloading (Both my globe DSL and Wireless Myfi device were below 1Mbps speed!), I was finally able to upgrade.
The only break I have nowadays is an hour or two before sleep and that includes mommy duties if I am fortunate to catch my kids awake when I get home.
Work is in hyper mode, multi-tasking definitely required, its exciting yet very stressful. Everything is urgent, I can't even begin to describe.
Of recent, I get a break by watching some TV series episodes and I'm currently hooked on the following:
1. REVENGE
 |
| So Chic! |
Seriously, TIME is really a luxury for me nowadays.
I need more of it because there's just so much to do.
Anyway, I miss blogging BIG TIME.
I also want to revise the look of the blog.
Here's what I'm coming up with and as much I'm pretty excited, I don't know how I'm going to get it all done.

So what's a mom to do in between (if there's by any chance to have at all...time to kill!).
MOST USEFUL APPS FOR ME:
Ok, I usually never watch the movie then read the book.
It's always been the other way around and I end up usually criticizing the movie for wrong details, missed out (important) parts and/or scenes and the rest of the things in my opinion (ikaw na and maging director..hahaha).
Harry Potter was the series I made sure I read from Book 1 till the end before I watch any of it on film, same with Twilight.
This however, is a surprisingly refreshing way of doing it.
THE HUNGER GAMES
If you haven't heard of Cath Kidston then you're losing out on all things girly.
If you're not so much into florals for bags and little knick knacks like pouches, home decor and fabric, then you can try their personal care products.
I was ecstatic during the last holiday when I found these in Rustan's.
Reasonable priced and they smell so good!
Lots of nice, safe ingredients too, mostly Paraben Free.
I have been CRAZY busy that I wasn't able to even look at my blog for a couple of weeks.
I have been trying to get a post at least each week but ZIT.
Then I realized, all I ever see is WORK.
I need WORK-LIFE Balance and contrary to popular belief, it does and WILL exist.
I am dead set on being a WAHM. Working at home, earning, doing what you love and being around the people that you love is something you aspire at this stage when your kids are young and they need much guidance.
So I will aim for that!
On other news, so MANY MANY (MANNY? Lol) things to share.
The low down on my next posts:
1. Coolest Gadgets I've Tried and now own
2. New accessories I'm raving about and I think you will too
3. Places to share including food trips
4. SUMMER!
5. My growing obsession and happiness list
LOL. So much to post and I really wanna share them.
1 post a day before bed time - that's the commitment so far. :)
So for that I end by sharing my current style pegs:
