The Good, The Fat and The Ugly

Gymboree with the babies

I have been so busy (and still am) that I have totally neglected this blog.

With all the things I wasn't able to document, I almost can't remember what I've been up to for the past months.

I'm trying to juggle my memory and so far, here's what I have unearthed

THE GOOD:
1. Changed my haircut and updated the color (finally!!!)
2. Went over my shopping ban time line! YEY!
3. Spent a nice Sunday with my family at Church then quality time with the kids at Gymboree
4. I have decided to live healthy, well, one step at a time and will start by running
5. I have decided to venture into something exciting and educational, I am praying to Him that it does go well and that I'm asking Him to point me further to the right direction
6. I love that I'm working with a team at the office whom I consider my work family, they are the best

Goals and Misses

No, it's not a football entry which seems to be getting quite the hype these days.

I'm not a sports fan of anything but I participate in rooting for our very own, siyempre, PINOY PRIDE.

Anyhoo...

I've been feeling unsure of certain things lately which makes me so stressed out (phrase of the year).

I just pray the He gives me a sign and point me in the right direction. =)

Goals for the month:

1. Continue with the SHOPPING BAN (I haven't bought anything I didn't need and only got basic necessities) - I'm so proud of myself but I feel weak! nyehehe

2. Get Fit and Healthy - my babies need me longer and I need to shake off all the stress and bad vibes anyway.

Ideas: start running, enroll to the gym later when I have proven that I can do some running and stick to a routine, sleep early by not taking home work or think of work before sleeping (hehe)

EAT BREAKFAST - something I should really start doing

3. Update my online shops - nuff said, super guilty for not completing the first set...huhuhu

4. Document more stuff into this blog

5. Dedicate Sundays to God and then Family - NO WORK DAY!!!

6. Get my new gig started (secret muna hahaha)

Misses I will avoid:

1. Hitting only 1 out of 5 of my goals...haha

2. Drinking coffee after 3pm (hard to sleep even when tired)

3. Not being able to say NO

Anyway, I'm in violation of goal #2. So I'll end and wake up renewed tomorrow. =)

Monday just ate up Tuesday!

Seriously!? I didn't feel the long weekend at all.

I feel tired and harassed having used my Monday to finish some work needed for today.

I just hope my entire week is sneeze-free, highly-productive and by a miracle, a little less stressful...hopefully.

I was able to fix some parts of the room and organize some items in our room so that's a start.

Haven't shopped since the time I posted except for necessities so that's a great deal of restraint and effort. 11 weeks to go! huhuhu hahaha!

Couldn't sleep because all the emails I made, so I capped off the night making first few accessories for my online store relaunch.

I decided to make bold pieces for the relaunch line.

I want them unique, fashion forward but all affordable.

So wish me luck and all the best to you all as well!

Saving + DIY all the way

After reading the latest post from Ms. C of Chuvaness I felt empowered!

Seriously, I need to pool-in and save up for rainy stormy days ahead:
1. Big scheduled bills
2. Savings
3. Premium Health Insurance

and also, so that I won't feel the slump in terms of budget when Christmas season hits.

Home Project: Bath, Dresser and Vanity areas

We moved to my in-laws extra house in Paranaque.

They were really kind and nice enough to let us stay here and it really makes the kids happy to be able to roam around a larger space, play within a safe yet outdoor space in front of the house and have ample space to put each of our stuff.

I have been so busy with work and the best I could do is put things in place.

When put I mean, literally just putting them there but they still look cluttered!

So my goal is to fix areas one by one and I must admit, it's still a struggle.

I get home by 9pm on the average and on weekends, If I'm not at work on Saturdays, I spend the whole day with the kids or resting.

So when I put my schedule in order, I'll be fixing these (crossing my fingers its soon!)

The Bathroom Counter

The bath and toilet area are separate which is nice!
