Currently on Juice Diet, Hope It Works!

Last payday I bought a juicer called power juicer on as seen on TV. I am kinda venturing on a diet called juice diet aka juice therapy. I am hoping that this one works for me, it is like juicing all the foods that you will eat. Yah right but not the rice, the sinigang and the adobo, LOL! But only raw fruits and vegetables or maybe a boiled vegetables can be.

I started out a few days ago and I am kinda cheating on the first few days, I just really can stand the abrupt switch to all liquid diet and I got dizzy and a little shiver all the time. So that once in a while I am having ahhhh brownies :P Well I promise to minimize my intake of solid foods then make it to all liquid soon.

I am kinda liking the mixture of watermelon and apple, mango and apple and carrots and apple. What I do not like is the taste of the cucumber mixed to any of the fruits or vegetables, basta I dont like, LOL! So I am removing cucumber for now on my list of juice mixture.. but my husband love it, lol! He can take the amf after taste of it.

Along with my current juice diet is my 15-minute walk a day, I will increase that soon, hopefully and I also hope for a treadmill too. I will just update you on the results if ever I have, I am currently 245lbs. ahmmm just keep that as our top secret okey? Now you know I really need to loose, lol!

Wish me luck brothers and sisters!!!

Teacher’s Day Gifts, LOL!

After all the confuseness of my mindness now I came outness with a giftness :P After searching the nearest mall in our place last Thursday, from top to bottom, from left to right and every corner of it I came out with a pretty decent gift, a perfume! But before that we went to a japanese 99 store and saw some cheap things but aren’t that fabulous and important to a teacher’s everyday needs so we continue searching every tiangge in the middle of the mall then we go inside the National bookstore.

When we were inside National Bookstore my husband saw a kiosk of perfumes and cologne. Ahm but before going there we saw again another kiosk called BENTE it is really cheap, for all the things that they are selling is only 20 pesos but the thing is, it is very obvious that it is cheap for the brand is called BENTE, LOL! So we ended up moving to the perfume kiosk called Zen Zest.

Zen Zest has a lot of perfumes and cologne available for men and women, the cheapest cost about 35 pesos but I ended up choosing the 2 for 100 deal because it has a box already and I am buying 12 pieces of it, 11 woman scent and 1 for men. (kuripot noh?, lol) Then after a great deal we went again to the bookstore and buy gift wrappers then I just wrapped it at home.

Teacher’s Day was held last Friday and my daughter gave it to all of her teachers except Ms Alarcon, why? because the perfume for her got broken. She said Elijah is getting the perfume to her then she is getting it back then it fell in the floor! (basag!) and she even bring it home as a proof! Ohhhh kids! kids! kids! Now I have to buy again for Ms. Alarcon. She might get jealous that only her doesn’t receive a gift from my daughter ahahahay..

Monday with my Husband’s GrandMa!

Last Monday we have a surprise visitor and guess who? my husband’s grandmother, Nanay Basilia. She came along with her daughter and some of my husband’s cousins and my post about Learning Bisaya, Lisod! happened again this time. As I expected it every word came too fast and I ended up nodding all the time. Thanks to her auntie that once in a while she is interpreting most of the things that they are talking but still I understand some of the conversation but I am sure I am missing a lot.

They have a little chit chat, browse their relatives as shown by my husband in his friendster account and eat. What is funny is that my husband’s lola is kinda getting Alzheimer’s already that when they actually called her youngest daughter on the phone then asked by them after about what her youngest daughter told her, she even forgot that she talked to her daughter and it was just minutes ago, then everybody laugh, LOL! Now I remember my own Lola, she had Alzheimer’s too. Then afterwards when she heard the radio playing like a cha cha beat song she rose up and dance and says last Christmas in Dela Paz Ozamiz party I won second price for dancing Tango, lol! She dance till the song ends.

Well we had pictures but I posted the one with her and my husband’s baby cousin. Then I realized that hey I am getting bigger and bigger I need to diet na talaga, lol!

All About Teacher’s Day

My daughter is having her teachers day celebration in school this coming September 26 and they are having a little program for it. They will be having a little performance and my daughter told me that she will be holding the letter “T” on the word teacher and she is happy on telling me that story. She also told me that they have to bring gifts for all of their teacher so I asked her to write all her teachers name so that I would know how many gifts we need to give.

But to my surprise, my daughter told me that her teacher wants not just what we usually give our teacher during teachers day, a small token of appreciation but instead wants a clothing, bag or a shoe. My daughter even told me that one of her teacher (I won’t drop any names) told my daughter her shoe size which is size 8.

Now I am really confused on what to give on teachers day, I want to assume that the teachers are just joking but what if they really mean it? LOL! Imagine if my daughters teacher is ten then I have to buy ten shoes for them so that they wouldn’t feel less special on that they if I’ll only buy shoes for the one who requested it, waaaaaaa I do not have that big money now. What will I do? I only plan to buy lipstick or charmed bracelets for them waaaaaa I remember during my school days, during teachers day all we have to bring is flowers particularly a rose to our dear teachers but now huhuhu they want more.

Help!?!?!

Dogs are a good therapy for Anxiety

I think I mentioned on my previous blog post that I have a super duper anxiety before but now I am experiencing it occasionally but I can say that through prayers and with the help of my dogs I am kinda relaxing bit by bit. I used to be afraid of so many things like going to crowded places, eating solids, I always palpitate and too busy catching up on my breathe but now I think the only ones left are the fear of the dentist and the firecrackers, lol! It is really funny but I’ll rant about my horrible experience with a dentist during my anxiety period but not now, lol!

Okey back with my dogs, they are really really relaxing to be with, much more relaxing than to be with my husband, lol (PEACE). They have their ways on making you feel important, loved and most of all they are really really fun to be watched. Well if you are not a dog lover you wouldn’t understand what I am talking about though some really thinks that they are just a mess but for me, never. LOL!

Anyways here are some moments of my dogs that I captured and stored in my mobile.

Our Toys Inside

Big Girls Outside

The Pack Leader does not want to have a steel home, lol!

The toys are down sleeping while the big girls are still up up for something, lol!

That is our typical day with our dogs, fun loving experience all the time.
