I am in Tagaytay

Hi everyone! yup..am here in Tagaytay and been here since Friday for a friend's wedding which I coordinated. The wedding was at Sonya's garden and it's beautiful!! Sonya's place is always beautiful, so romantic and enchanting specially at night. I'll post pictures when my friends who have their camera uploaded theirs, you see I don't have pictures because our digicam is with the husband. I enjoyed the fresh green salad again from Sonya's and the pasta, for sure me and my friends will be needing slim pills to shed all the extra pounds we will get for staying here, it's quite cold, calm and quiet, perfect ambiance for us to eat all the bulalo we can eat.haha!

Anyways, we're here at MC mountain home apartelle and I'm gonna do a review or sort when I get back to Manila which is this afternoon.

Enjoy your long weekend people!!

Stiil counting

Hubby's supposed to go home today from Malaysia and the counting must have been over by now but guess what it's still 12 days to go, oh I don't count it that much now. It's a pretty long story and I don't want to blog about it, actually don't have the strength to write about it. Obviously he extended his stay and we fought, we argued over phone and over yahoo and facebook chat a lot of times about his extension and I must say this is the worst we've ever been into.

A friend told me that I should try to look at the bright side of it but at first I really couldn't see what's bright about it, but we were able to sort things out now. God is so good to us that He didn't let us stumble.

Honestly, it was devastating and I'm beginning to get depressed, It's actually the first time that I lost appetite one day and then emotionally eat a lot the next day. Good thing it's back to normal now, if that didn't stop I can imagine how big would I be. And I would probably need a weight loss austin wellness clinic is offering, well in fact I can't afford any health related expenses now.

but yeah, GOD IS SO GOOD!!! great counselor, great comforter, peace giver, a real friend.

I am OK now but still counting the days.

Lose weight as seen on tv

I lost some weight and I am on my usual regular meal diet and I didn’t add any activities to my routine but yeah I did lost some pounds not that I have that perfect Contour Abs because that is still far from reality but am quite happy I lost some.. Probably it is because of lack of sleep because I have not been sleeping regularly since last week. My sleeping habits has gone wild again, there was even a time that I slept at around 4 AM and woke up at 6:45 AM and went to office. I’m a walking zombie. I’m a walking fat zombie.

I really need to have some serious exercise or physical activities for me to lose weight properly, and I am wishing I could buy a Total Gym or something like that this Christmas so I can do it at home in my most convenient time. If not, I think the Slendertone system to tone my abs and muscles will also be fine.

Should I need to include that then on my wish list this Christmas? Or I’ll just go ahead and buy one for myself when the bonus comes in. Would it be worth the hard earned money I’ll spend? Hopefully yes ad hopefully I’ll use it as often as I can.

What do you think of online advertising?

Have you heard of Coca-cola’s biggest social media and online PR campaign? According to status media’s blog “The company (Coca cola) is to send a team of three people around the World, through 206 countries, over the course of a year, with one mission: to find out what makes people happy.” You can read the whole news in this digital agency site.

Social media is media designed to be disseminated through social interaction, created using highly accessible and scalable publishing techniques. Social media uses Internet and web-based technologies to transform broadcast media monologues (one to many) into social media dialogues (many to many). (Wikipedia)

Social media has really gone a long way. Imagine it is now being used by big brands to advertise and campaign for their products. Why not? These guys knew where their clients are, millions of people around the world uses internet and social sites such as facebook, twitters and others. You have a captured audience there.

Here in Manila, politicians took advantage of these social sites for the upcoming election. I can see everywhere in the net ads of different person obviously running for some positions in 2010 election. I wonder how much would their expenses be? Hoping they will not get it from the people’s wealth once they win.

Anyways, the blog where I found the coca cola’s campaign is also specialist in cpa network advertising. If you have a business and you wants to advertise online, you might find them helpful, they will surely be of help in terms of sales increase and . They also do the following;
*Co-branding and co-registration
*Direct response advertising
*Competition and survey paths
*Search and content affiliates

I’m actually looking for ways on how to advertise our chocolate fondue business and I guess I will go for online advertising. Hoping it will give us more clients next year. What do you think?

Diamonds are FOREVER

Feast your eyes with these beautiful diamonds girls. This engagement ring is super nice! look like the one I have but obviously don't have diamonds in it.
And these wedding rings are simply gorgeous!! I still dream of buying our dream wedding dream and I hope after ten years of being married we can have that rings already.
I love the gold one which is also cheaper than the white gold. Nice no?

Drive carefully

It's been 2 months since I bought the insurance for hubby because of the motorbike and because we cannot afford any additional expenses more so of hospital expenses (knock on wood) and some legal expenses like hiring someone as good as San Jose motorcycle accident attorney so I opted to get the insurance even though it is out of our budget.

Statistics will attest that motorcycle accidents are rampant especially on major high ways and I praise God that we are spared, it's been more than 2 years since we have the bike and we never met any accident so far, yes the dear husband is very much careful in his driving but then accident is an accident. I just want to at least get that feeling of somehow when it happens you have something to fall back on.

So please to all motorcycle drivers out there. DRIVE CAREFULLY!!

3 years and 7 months ago

and I know greater things are yet to come!! :))

Sad Saturday

It's weekend but it's a different weekend. I don't know it's been 5 days since hubs left, at this stage I'm supposed to be like getting the hang of it but to tell you honestly it's getting harder as the days passed by. I just really hope he will listen to my cries and get back home on the 26rth as scheduled.

It's hard when you have nothing, I mean it's different when you have a child to take care of but I don't even have a pet at home, I know it's me who is against of having one, he wants a cat but I said no and besides I think of all the pet supplies we have to buy and no we can't have it but I am thinking otherwise now.

He's supposed to be here on Thursday (if he listened) and that's 5 more days. If not he'll be here on the 8th of December and I don't want to count the days anymore. I'll be lost.

For the meantime, I have to while the hour browsing and playing and working just to get my mind off from him.

Day 3

Just in case you're new to this blog and wondering what I am counting for, it's the day dear husband left for a short mission trip somewhere in Malaysia (of course I knew where).

He rang me last night, thank heavens for the goodness of our Ninong's heart. Anyways, he said they have loads of schedule, teaching musical instruments, visiting churches and not visiting auto accessories stores or malls. At the tone of his voice he seems liking it..er loving it actually, and that he even asked me to pray about him extending the stay until the big event which I guess they will play on November 26 and 27.

Guess what I said back? told him am not going to pray for it..hehe..me bad.

I'm sure he will learn a lot from this trip and maybe when he gets back he'll knows best the direction we have to take with regards to us being missionaries.

It's day 3, 8 more days to go.

1st Night

9 more nights to go..

I have two lovely girls sleeping in the room with me so it shouldn't be that sad. But honestly I'm missing my husband very much and he will only be away for 10 nights, eleven days.

I can't imagine how hard it must be for a wife or husband to work abroad and leave someone on the other side of the world. I super duper salute you all!!

But I am not as tough as you are.

I do not want this to happen again..and i do hope this short separation will do us good somehow. LEARN.REFLECT.MEDITATE.PLAN

mahal, uwi ka na..hehe! the room is not the same without you. Love you!!!

Separation anxiety?

It's 5:09 AM and I am still awake, why? maybe having separation anxiety, why again? because dear husband is leaving today for a short term mission trip to Malaysia.

For eleven days or ten nights.

I'll start counting the nights tonight and I'll see what stuff I'll do to make the days goes as fast as it can be.

Cheesy as you may say because it's only for eleven days but you see we've never been apart this long since we got married three years ago.

And the thought of sleeping and waking up without him beside is so....well, can not even say the exact word.

I'll be lonely for eleven days for sure.
