We're moving!

And I know I am happy to move but I feel sad at the same time. We have been at the mission's center since we got married and I can't help to feel a little sentimental about it. We have had our lots of first there as husband and wife. I have learned a lot from living in there especially on matters about relationship.

But then, I am excited to have finally our own place. Well, we will still be sharing with our very good friend (missionary couple) they will occupy the other room but we can still call it ours. I mean, there will be no more curfew hours, no visitors restrictions, and we can do whatever we want..oh the freedom of having your own abode!! I am so excited!

So we started packing up our things and hubby will start moving them tonight.

Praise God for the provision and for giving us the courage to move and have that step of faith.

I'll post picture soon once we're already settled.

Longest funeral procession

In two decades. I know that this is something that our grand children's children will be studying on the next generation as part of the Philippine History so I make sure I participated. Not only me but I tagged along hubby whom I appointed as the photographer so I can just look and flashed the L sign to everyone.

We waited along South super high way corner Arellano st. We waited for two hours but that's fine. It's worth it. The feeling is different. Suddenly the love for the country was there and you just want to show the world that you do care.

Here are the pictures that hubby managed to capture in spite of the heavy rains.

It's yellow all around!

Some of our friends and our 2 foreign missionaries were there too with us!

The long lines and the yellow cyclists

And finally..the coffin of the late President Aquino.

Goodbye and Thank you our dear and beloved president! The Philippines will never forget you.

And for those who are looking for the Manila Bulletin's error you can see it here.

P.S. I love you

Saw it yesterday for the first time. Did I cry? Of course yes, I have this issue about death of loved ones. I know I am not yet prepared but who is? especially when it is your husband? Just the thought of it makes me shiver.

So I ended up making kulit to hubby yesterday, telling him and making him promise me that he won't die first (as if pwede ang ganun di ba?)

I just can't grasp how the bereaved can cope up with losing someone that is too close to them. I wish I am as courageous as them but I am not. And even now that my parents are both in their old age I still do not know how will we celebrate every special occasion without them if ever.

So i don't even want to think about it.

Sigh. I think watching that movie is a bad idea.

Health /PCOS Update

I am planning to see a doctor (OB) again, after a year and a half of just letting it go, pass by and wait if I can be pregnant without any aid or medicines. I don’t know. I am so frustrated and a part of me doesn’t want to go to the doctor still. Just thinking of the money and the stress I will have to go through. But I know also that I need to see a doctor. I’m still looking for a good but not so expensive OB-Gynecologist, if only money is not a big issue with us I’ll probably choose the best one there is.

I’m still over weight, hubby actually noticed this morning that I am getting bigger. Well, for one I stopped dieting, I don’t take any diet pill or slimming supplements. My only exercise now is going up to my office which is in 3rd floor walking and going down again in the afternoon. I know I did not take my losing weight seriously. And I don’t want to say I am going to exercise and diet again. Promises..promises.

You see, I stopped dieting but I actually learned to eat the right way now, not a lot of sugars, small amount of everything, no midnight snacks, and we learn to get away with oily foods too. We boil instead of frying.

But I guess the PCO syndrome is really making it hard for me to lose weight. But still I am thankful I don’t have all the side effects of it like having so much hair, acne, diabetes, and etc.

I will give it a try for the second time. I don’t have much time left I am getting old and if I still don’t bear a child, well God knows BEST!

Life is changing

It's been a busy busy week for me, I have been coming to work much earlier than my usual time and coming home later than the usual time also. Evenings had been busy too, last Tuesday was my brother in law's birthday and last night was worship team fellowship. Our schedule of waking up is getting better..that's the nicest part of it! I've been waking up at seven in the morning since Monday! Hubby is doing the same too which is a lot better.

By the way, have I told you guys that I have been terminated from work? yes, I was given until the 9th of August actually.

I feel bad and not bad at the same time. I know I still have work ( sorry it's a bit complicated) but definitely schedules and perks will change.

I only wish I will have time to rest before moving on to the other fence.

Go home to province and meditate and think and plan and just relax and enjoy. Or be with the husband 24/7, do ministry together, hang out with friends, look for store sale together or just stay at home and watch old movies. I miss doing those stuff. Sigh. I hope I really can do that.

For the meantime, it's reality world and my reality is that I have loads of work today.

Our first balloon project

We made it! and I am so happy :) Imagine we don't have any training and this was our first try for the balloon pillars. I am so proud of hubby because I just show him the video and he got it perfect! well, not really perfect but for first timer...it's over passing grade!

This was at The loft, Manansala Rockwell. For my boss' 50th birthday. I couldn't get any party supplier because it was so rush so I decided to do it.





I bought swags and lanterns too!!

We're getting ready for our small business soon!!

I thought it was a road accident

I just wrote something about getting our motorbike insured the last day,yesterday imagined how shocked I was when hubby came to pick me up at the office with a big bruised and cut in his right arm. My initial reaction was he had an accident along the way. As I was preparing my self for the accident story, he then told me that it was not a road accident but yes it was because of the motorbike. I took a sigh of relief. I think I should get him an insurance now, a life insurance or health insurance or whatever it is that would help us if something bad happen which I hope and pray not.

10 ways to make a bedroom better for sleeping

by : ivillage_manageyourlife
source : yahoo life

Our bedrooms should be calm, peaceful escapes from the bustle and pressure of the everyday world. All too often, though, the stresses of the day find their way into the very places where we are meant to be the most relaxed. Such intrusions contribute to insomnia, which can lead to major health difficulties. A few easy changes can remove distractions from your bedroom and help sleep come easier.

Combat late-night problems by making your bedroom a safe, peaceful place to relax and sleep. Start with these 10 simple ideas:

1. Get the television out. Move the television from your bedroom and place it in an entertainment center in the family room or living room. Watching TV in bed inhibits good sleep.

2. Move the computer. Likewise, move the computer into a home office, or at least into its own nook in the room or den. Remove the stress and worry of your work from the place where your focus should be relaxing and sleeping.

3. Choose the right colors. Color theory dictates that different shades have different effects on people. Cool colors, those from the left side of the color wheel, are thought to provide a sense of calm. Choose one of these for the bedroom, and avoid bright, loud colors that are more exciting than soothing.

4. Eliminate excess noise. Make sure that rooms adjacent to the bedroom are not home to stereos, televisions or other noisy electronics. Most modern homes don't have completely soundproofed walls, and the bleed-through noise can keep you awake.

5. Keep out the light. Select light-blocking window treatments . Even though the sun isn't out, plenty of light can sneak into the bedroom from outside, disrupting your sleep patterns. Keeping the room as dark as possible is especially important for people whose work schedules require them to sleep during the day.

6. Add a little light. If you need a little light to sleep comfortably, consider adding a couple of nightlights or a dimmer switch rather than sleeping with a lamp on all the time.

7. Check your pipes. Loud pipes might be waking everyone in the house when one person makes a bathroom visit in the middle of the night. Look for the cause of any clanging and banging, particularly in a bathroom that is adjacent to a bedroom.

8. Seal the doors and windows. Make sure doors and windows are solid and secure, with no drafts or rattles.

9. Clean the air. Use an air purifier or humidifier to keep air quality at its best. Allergens and excessively dry air can interrupt sleep and make waking up unpleasant, too. As a bonus, many machines create a white noise that drowns out other, distracting sounds.

10. Get organized. Organize closets and keep clothing and other personal items in their places. A chaotic, messy room is stressful to the mind. Don't try to fall asleep with your eyes darting around the room, spotting shoes and clothes scattered all over the floor. Sleep well, knowing that everything is in its place.

The ADT protection

I’m sure every one of us wants to feel protected most of the time, especially when we have kids that are being left at home when we go to work. I’m sure I’ll be a worry rat when I have to do that also. I tend to be a paranoid and hubby knows that. I remember reading a news item one time about a caregiver beating up an old man whom she was supposed to take care of. Good thing the daughter installed home video surveillance and from there she was able to witness all the beatings and maltreatment her father is getting from his caregiver.

I would love to do that also when I do have my own home already.

I already had an experience with ADT home security few years ago, our office which is also our boss home is armed with that kind of security. And I know how safe she feels even when she is out of home most of the time. Money can’t buy sleep they say but it helps you get a decent sleep when you know you are protected so installing ADT is worth it.

Whether for your home or for your business which remind me we have it also now in one of our offices, I guess the bosses wants to monitor their employees also even whey they are not in the office, I’m sure having this is like having an insurance. You feel secured and protected.

But then, nothing can ever surpassed the protection we get knowing that the Lord is always there to protect us.
