<br />
Thanks if you're still visiting this blog. :)<br />
<br />
I have moved to a new home:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.mommygtm.com/">www.mommygtm.com</a><br />
<br />
Please head on over but pardon the "mess".<br />
I'm still organizing posts and figuring out some other widgets.<br />
<br />
Cheers!<br />

<br />
After years of corporate based work, I found myself at a crossroad and had to decide immediately: whether I was still fit to balance work and family or was I going to be more productive doing a consultancy business?<br />
<br />
I took a leap of FAITH and a lot of guts and decided to give being a WAHM (sort of) a try and hopefully, as a permanent and successful state.<br />
<br />
It's not easy and it's quite challenging. It's NEVER going to be a 9-5 job.<br />
<br />
Here's the lowdown when it comes to the "mere concept" and the <u>actual truth</u> behind it:<br />
<br />
CONCEPT: Doing consultancy work and having a flexible business gives you freedom to dictate your time<br />
<br />
FACT: Half true if you have all the funds that you need to pay all the bills like you used to do (having to know that something specific will come in every payday). But since I literally jumped into my decision, Its not a vacation nor is it a whole time to linger around and do nothing. It's actually more work BUT it's work that I LOVE DOING. So no matter how tight client deadlines are or how gruelling some projects may be, its worth it.<br />
<br />
Plus factor: I see my kids when I opt to work from home more often and If I play my cards right, I get to organize meetings, work load and business matters with my partners and set aside time for family.<br />
<br />
So begins this new blog post.<br />
<br />
It has been forever and I truly missed blogging.<br />
<br />
Should be exciting!<br />
<br />
Now all I need to do is do a revamp on my blog's look. :)<br />
<br />
XOXO<br />

<br />
I've been out of commission as expected for several months.<br />
But I'm getting back to my mission: getting all artsy, crafty, domestic and DIY.<br />
<br />
For the longest time, due to busy work schedules and generally, lack of time, I find myself buying commercially made food for my kids and the house.<br />
<br />
When I saw that my youngest was getting extra sensitive to the food he eats and with all the junk food they've consumed, it was really time to change things for good.<br />
<br />
First, I got the oven I wanted for the longest time.<br />
Second, I got back to baking.<br />
Third, the house is looking better, though so much more things to organize. READ: Garage Sale<br />
<br />
So for now, here's a shameless plug (hehe):<br />

<br />
A healthy change!<br />
<br />
What I eat, sleeping habits and less stressful situations.<br />
<br />
When you're stressed, your skin shows the first signs.<br />
<br />
A lot of celebrities turn to plastic surgery, while others really just age gracefully.<br />
<br />
It's so hard to tell who went under cosmetic procedures but it's also just amazing to see some of these women:<br />
<br />
1. Christy Turlington, 44<br />
<br />
I love her! She's not a bombshell or an ultra sexy girl but her beauty is really just easy on the eyes<div>

I know, I have neglected my dear blog.<br />
Seriously annoyed that life was so hectic.<br />
It started last December and it never seemed to have mellowed down.<br />
<br />
Well, still the same except that I'm choosing not to be overwhelmed anymore.<br />
<br />
Life is too short to get stressed over stuff that's day to day.<br />
<br />
I'm thinking of a new look though my HTML skills are a little rusty and I vowed to re-do the blog design on my own as a special project.<br />
<br />
I can't wait to start working online again.<br />

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.<br />
<br />
Time indeed goes by fast. So fast that it was only yesterday that we were just kids ourselves playing with barbie dolls!<br />

Now, I get to see these cuties and I feel both OLD and fulfilled that my cousins and I have gone through a lot and yet, we still love each other's company. Get to go over past stories and literally laugh so hard at most of them.<br />
<br />
How cute are these 2 new additions to our clan?<br />

Earlier today, I also did a make-up and tutorial session with my mom.<br />
I've been wanting her to update her make-up ritual and taught her what I also just learned from endless youtube vids and make-up artists I have encountered in the past.<br />
<br />
Here's a sneak peak!<br />
<br />
My brother's supposed to work on editing the video...after 10 years! hahaha.<br />

PS - I will also post a "how do I do my eyebrows" tutorial, I don't know if I can do video but I'll try my best. :)<br />
<br />
Cheers to the rest of the weekend! Yey for 2 more rest days! :)<br />

I'm so glad they are back!<br />
<br />
Hopefully my special project gets done soon!<br />

Here are my inspirations and I'm planning to make them affordable and as much as possible more comfortable. :)<br />

I can't sleep.<br />
It's been a tough week, coming from my son's confinement at the hospital.<br />
Though work was exciting, the sleepless nights and panic at the hospital still caught up with me.<br />
I guess that comes with being a mom and a workaholic.<br />
<br />
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. :)))<br />
<br />
Both from The Ramp:<br />
<br />
PILL: Transparent Flat with Metal gold cap and faux reptile skin<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
TONIC: Transparent flat with cap toe glittery material<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />

<br />
All three are super comfy. Perfect for busy days in the office or weekends where you need to run errands. :)<br />
<br />
Sleep has finally greeted me.<br />
<br />
Good night!<br />
<br />
Cheers!<br />

<br />
I will not show a very graphic (and horrible) picture of my zit...plus, it's almost gone...in just a day!!!<br />
<br />
I don't market the products that I don't use and don't believe in.<br />
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.<br />
<br />
I have 2 pimple answers, unfortunately, the first one, unfortunately is no longer available locally:<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Intensive Treatment soap - great for keeping the affected area of your skin clean and less prone to more irritations, also good for those with back acne!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Intensive Treatment - for those who have acne patches or for bigger areas to treat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
And was able to experiment on 2 looks.<br />
Here's one of them.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
I'm not a professional MUA. I just like putting on make-up (ever since I can remember - maybe because my grandma always made me her guinea pig for over 30 years of teaching cosmetology).<br />
I still try to learn and find out several useful tips.<br />
<br />
After I gave birth to my 2nd, I seriously slacked off until I went back to working with a fashion company.<br />
<br />
So recently I tried to complete my make-up product line-up. (I can feel my husband shake his head - disapprovingly - men just really don't understand...haha).<br />
<br />
I'm pretty blessed that my current job deals with a lot of beauty products and a lot of my colleagues are very pro-active in sharing their best kept secrets and tips.<br />
<br />
For moms like me who do not have much time in the morning, somehow, I have mastered a faster way of applying and achieving certain looks.<br />
<br />
Mind you, the way in placing make-up and how long or quick it takes depends on your skin type.<br />
I have slightly corse skin, the woes of post pregnancy and it takes a couple of years to rejuvenate. But with the help of awesome products (suited for your skin), it's still possible to achieve glowing freshness! (yes, I am a marketing person..obvious ba?).<br />
<br />
<b>The Red Lipstick </b><br />
<b>*Deep Coloured Lips + Light Eyes = balance (tip from one of the MUAs I have worked with before)</b><br />
<br />
<b>What I did and maybe you can too:</b><br />
<ol>
<li>Base basics (Here's mine: Primer on eyes and face creases, BB Cream, Foundation, Concealer)</li>
<li>I used a bronzer under my cheek bones, blended it in with a little foundation powder and applied a light cheek blush </li>
<li>I like to have my eyes simple when wearing strong lip colours so I applied just a beige/nude shimmery shadow</li>
<li>I then applied a liquid liner and deepened the color with a liner stick (as the liquid one that I have is shimmery - get jet black if you only want to do it once but be sure of the control to avoid smears, do it slowly but surely...wag hihinga! hehe)</li>
<li>I like my brows full in the same colour like my hair (will do a step by step DIY post on this soon as one of my online buddies requested..good luck to me, I'm no expert, pero happy to share - do at your own risk hehehe). I just used a basic brow liner and evened it out with the brush that came with it</li>
<li>With a toothbrush, I gently exfoliated my lip then patted it dry</li>
<li>I applied a thin layer of balm, massaged it on a bit to take off excess dead skin and to recondition my lips</li>
<li>I hate using lip liner, it always somehow never matches my lipsticks (or maybe I don't have enough colour choices in my stash haha) so I used a lip brush to apply especially on the corners and to get a better outline instead</li>
<li>If I don't have time to use a lip brush, concealer or foundation hides out the excess (hehe)</li>
<li>Blot lips lightly using a tissue - if you feel it's too thick for you</li>
<li>I applied pink lip gloss, starting at the center of the lower lip before spreading out evenly </li>
</ol>
<br />
I'm not so used to sharing step-by-step tricks but I'll try to post more instructional ones next time, but I doubt I will go that path (aka Tamad or Toxic).<br />
<br />
Like I said, in the future my kid may see my blog and say: "ganito pala itsura ni mommy way back..."<br />
<br />
Hehehe.<br />

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.<br />
<br />
I didn't give out heels because who would want to start anew after getting flooded in heels?<br />
<br />
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).<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
I can always just admire nice pictures. :)<br />
<br />
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<br />

<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b>IF YOU ARE IN A SAFE PLACE, SECURE THE FOLLOWING:</b></u><br />
<br />
Keep them close-by and ready in case of emergency:<br />
<br />
1. Candles and Matches<br />
2. Blankets and Jackets<br />
3. Flashlights, Emergency Lights<br />
4. Fully charged mobile phone/s<br />
5. Emergency bag - clothes, easy-to-eat food, other <b>essentials </b>(avoid overpacking, the emergency bag won't serve the purpose if you're bringing your whole house!)<br />
6. Medicines including rubbing alcohol for infections<br />
<br />

<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Donate <u>easy-to-eat food</u>, they have minimal resources to cook and prepare (biscuits, bread, easy to open canned goods with ready to eat content, etc.)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have busier than ever....<br />
<br />
But anyway, I'm stepping into a lot of new things in my life.<br />
With God's grace and my family's support, I'm off to a new start.<br />
<br />
Speaking of new, I'll be doing some changes to the blog.<br />
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.<br />
<br />
To start off, I upgraded to <b><a href="http://www.apple.com/osx/" target="_blank">Mountain Lion OS X</a> </b>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.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://distilleryimage3.s3.amazonaws.com/51fae15ed94d11e1a2fe22000a1e8a58_7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://distilleryimage3.s3.amazonaws.com/51fae15ed94d11e1a2fe22000a1e8a58_7.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4+GB of downloading, 2 days later and I was able to get a hold of it</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then add of course 30 minutes of installation time</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is one of the features I'm happy about: Messages</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can send to all apple devices that have iMessage and more</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(I think, I haven't explored most of it yet)</div>

Maybe it's just me but my Mac seems faster? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Or maybe when surfing the status bar that loads feels more "seamless" or more "fluid" for lack of better terms</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So far so good, no bugs experienced yet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm going to do a follow-up full review later on.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You'll see a lot of posts later on from me on gadgets and other interests of mine...because moms can be geeks too! haha.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>How to download?</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Go to the App Store and just click-away.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Make sure you have an Apple Account and a registered credit card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Check your internet speed: <a href="http://www.speedtest.net/" target="_blank">HERE</a>, if it's at least 3Mbps, then you'll be able to finish in half a day or a couple of hours. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Be prepared to do an overnight download if it's less...gahhhhh.</div>

<br />
Work is in hyper mode, multi-tasking definitely required, its exciting yet very stressful. Everything is urgent, I can't even begin to describe.<br />
<br />
Of recent, I get a break by watching some TV series episodes and I'm currently hooked on the following:<br />
<br />
1. REVENGE<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://l.yimg.com/ea/img/-/120108/revenge120108tv630_17ghi7u-17ghi83.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="222" src="http://l.yimg.com/ea/img/-/120108/revenge120108tv630_17ghi7u-17ghi83.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">So Chic!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<div>
The twists and plots are nicely written and portrayed. I love it and I can't wait for the next season!</div>
<div>
I love their fashion sense too, especially the heroine Emily/Amanda played by Emily VanCamp.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2. GAME OF THRONES</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.wordofthenerdonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/GameOfThrones_20110412171451.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="http://www.wordofthenerdonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/GameOfThrones_20110412171451.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you haven't read the books (I just started), then the series is very well made according to the books. And yes, I am still not over the Hunger Games movie deviating from the book.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyhoo, it's not your typical modern series, literally. More like Lord of the Rings only bloodier (lol). Expect a lot of nude scenes so definitely not for the kids. Warfare in medieval times, I love it anyway.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<div>
3. ONCE UPON A TIME</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/418cD5Pp3OL._SX500_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/418cD5Pp3OL._SX500_.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Fairy tales explained, I think. But how it's made to fuse with our modern world is not your typical Disney twist. It's quite nice and has good lessons to be learned from. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I like how they pace each episode going from present to past then back again. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am following more than one show and all of them except for Game of Thrones has episodes showing. BOOHOO!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I can't wait for September so I can watch my faves again. I just hate that they cancelled the Secret Circle.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The other shows you may want to consider:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4. Grey's Anatomy - my all time favorite but the original cast roster is getting chopped off each season!</div>
<div>
5. Grimm - a more action packed and morbid version of Once Upon A Time</div>
<div>
6. Gossip Girl - though I'm really getting tired of Serena's character</div>
<div>
7. Glee - now that the seniors have graduated, what next?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So there you have it. Now, back to regular programming, I have work tomorrow. @_@</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Cheers!</div>

</div>I'm usually working and have limited time to spend with my kids.<br />
<br />
I'm so happy we're going on a weekend escape with my parents and brothers. Even though its just local, it's going to be a first time for all of them except me to go there.<br />
<br />
Will post pictures during the trip but on another note, I AM SO EXCITED.<br />
<br />
Got off with my friend and we're finally starting new lines for my <a href="http://www.oohwablesco.multiply.com/" target="_blank">ONLINE SHOP</a> which is obviously long overdue!<br />
<br />
It's going to be a mix of Filipino and American designs on really cool accessories and jewelry.<br />
<br />
I'm particularly excited about the Filipino set going to the US market.<br />
<br />
Now...all I need to do is free up some time to really get it out.<br />
<br />
For now, let's feast our eyes on SPRING/SUMMER SHOES, it's obviously all about COLOR and METALLICS...♥ ♥ ♥<br />

<br />
<u>MOST USEFUL APPS FOR ME:</u><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTrTKA9_Otn23iFJv9bbjgmuWzONjiogrExa-w77zWdB751258T" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTrTKA9_Otn23iFJv9bbjgmuWzONjiogrExa-w77zWdB751258T" width="200" /></a></div><br />
<br />
1. Viber - Free SMS and Free Calls<br />
<br />
If you're on unlimited data plan on your iPhone then this is a great app. So long as the signal's good, call and message from a phone with Viber anywhere in the world. Works over wifi too.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQsM09DlkuYXDJ_RhF2wAOjiSU14n0c6VPClV8ksM0s5RqqH8Xc" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQsM09DlkuYXDJ_RhF2wAOjiSU14n0c6VPClV8ksM0s5RqqH8Xc" width="200" /></a></div><br />
<br />
2. Instagram - A fun way of sharing pictures and making nice vintage textures on them too<br />
<br />
Uploads on your phone and on different social media sites like Twitter and FB too. Get to see the world through your friend's camera and yours too (I'm mommygtm on Instagram)<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQCEiXjGz3GSR6cXVMQJh9Z51F7AkOUHLzVeVioGgZENZ44hfudvw" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="199" src="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQCEiXjGz3GSR6cXVMQJh9Z51F7AkOUHLzVeVioGgZENZ44hfudvw" style="cursor: move;" width="200" /></a><br />
<br />
3. Draw Something - Games to kill time and poke fun at yourself and your friends' drawings<br />
<br />
When I can't get any sleep or I'm waiting, It's a fun app but relies on data plan or wifi<br />
The free version has a lot of ads and the one for $0.99 rids the app of those. I just took the free version for now<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSe47nTtmE1hfZdMm4CkgdIltnGTOCC_YMsIvnLDlvPTZi2nMuc9Q" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSe47nTtmE1hfZdMm4CkgdIltnGTOCC_YMsIvnLDlvPTZi2nMuc9Q" width="200" /></a></div><br />
<br />
4. Skype - When I'm away and I miss my kids<br />
<br />
Since its available in PC, Mac, iPhone and other devices, it's a great way to see my kids real time when I'm away on a trip. Works over both data plan and wifi<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTbVLO9xZMNKilkMnHYGTdr3bFMIwjMqwTJ0G13m66voh_znoM2" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTbVLO9xZMNKilkMnHYGTdr3bFMIwjMqwTJ0G13m66voh_znoM2" width="200" /></a></div><br />
<br />
5. Flex Player - to play movies and various different files non-iOS Supported<br />
<br />
On trips or long waiting periods, it's nice to load up on certain movies or season episodes. This is good for windows based video files or other video files not usually supported on iOS.<br />
<br />
Moms can be techie too you know.<br />

<br />
After reading <a href="http://cocoperez.com/" target="_blank">COCO PEREZ</a> (HILTON) one of my fave blogs because he's really hilarious, I saw the new H&M Conscious Glamour Collection.<br />
<br />
A favorite brand and I wish they would already build one store here without over-pricing<br />
<br />
Whenever I have the chance to go to a store abroad, I always make it a point to grab one of their accessories, clean cut basic tops and some key pieces.<br />
<br />
The quality is nice, accessories range go for less than Php300 up to Php800 for the more sophisticated ones. Clothes for kids are cute too!<br />

They are releasing the collection on April 12.<br />
<br />
Another good thing about it is that this is sustainable fashion: recycled polyesters, organic materials...so eco chic!<br />
<br />
Wishing for H&M Here soon.<br />
