There are still days that I lurk on beauty sites and make-up websites just to be updated with the latest trends and the current season's colors. Every time I do this, I would still wonder, can I still be the make-up artist I used to be? While I know for a fact that I would forever love dolling up someone else's face, I am not sure if I will have time for this other passion or even enhance my skills by attending make-up schools such as the Regency Beauty Institute. I honestly do not know the answer right now because my focus is my current work and my family but if and when that time comes, I will let you know and of course, I will be glad to do your make-up. For now, you will read some make-up related entries from time to time.

Before I check on this cheapest phenphedrine, let me share this photo I grabbed from a friend's blog.

Now this is really neat, I can relate to how tiring it can be to maintain a clean house. My boys love bread and most of the time the bread crumbs are everywhere! But I need to find a well-behaved bird that would stand still and wait for any bread crumbs to eat. hee hee.

I have been craving for these French macarons for almost a year now, like how long DH has been looking for an electronic muscle stimulation. I have searched and searched for a nearby supplier but none of them sells this kind of macarons. They have the ones with the coconut. I guess I have no choice but to order a dozen online, I deserve to treat my sweet tooth especially after completing my 7-day Spiritual Fasting and Prayer.

Someone's celebrating his 34th birthday real soon and this person deserves more than just a men's clothing piece because of the hardwork and unconditional love he gives to his family. Yes, dear hubby's birthday is fast approaching and I should prepare something special this year, a surprise party or give him his dream watch? Yay, I think I will just surprise him with a party because I do not have enough funds for his dream watch :P.

I realized that when DS stopped taking his vitamins, simply because we ran out of stocks, that's when he gets sick more often. Yay! I cannot wait for my mom to come and bring all of his vitamins so I'd have a healthy son again. That and also this harsh weather is making us all sick and tired most of the day.

The most popular New Year's resolution probably would be to lose weight or live a healthier lifestyle. But how many of us can actually deliver this resolution? I admit that I am one of those people who would religiously write down resolutions every New year and this is one of them. I would find the best diet pills that work, practice healthy lifestyle and would do workout routines but it would only last me by mid of the year then back to my old ways again toward the end of the year. So this year, I promise myself that there will be no rushing up and I will take it really slow afterall, I have the whole year to lose 15 lbs!

A friend sent me a copy of her Outer Banks vacation rentals package. While it may be very affordable and enticing to instantly grab it, I just had to decline the offer because DH and I have other things in mind this year. Aside from getting a second car, we are also planning for 3 trips this year. So I guess it is important to focus on these goals so as not to be tempted easily.

Wow! It is only this week that my friends in Europe and Canada received the Christmas greeting cards and presents I sent out in the mail. And so I thought the electric blanket I sent to my friend will be in time for Winter but looks like she will be able to use it only for a few more weeks. This surprises me because I did the mailing early enough to give allowance to postal delays. Hmmm.

Does this mean I should start sending out Christmas cards in October instead??? :P

Hubby's Suman Latik is to die for. How many times will I say that??? :P.

I am glad that the last serving of this Suman Latik is finished and guess what, I was the only one who finished the whole plate! Now, I dread that visit on our weighing scale. Maybe February would be a good time to visit it.

Now, that the Holidays leftover is almost finished, I should try to focus on my weight loss (*coughs!) plan and on other things in my list, such as research on this pci compliant hosting. I am claiming that this year, I will be able to finally reach my pre-wedding weight!
