My Health.

I got this from fellow preggo Yen and thought I’d also try it:

1. Do you take vitamins and if so, what?
Yes I do! As I’m going through my 2nd trimester, my OB changed my vitamins from Clusivol OB to more expensive Elevit. I’m also taking in Iberet Folic for my iron and folic acid supplements. And of course, for other essential supplements, I also drink Anmum Materna (chocolate).

2. Do you make an effort to eat healthy, or you eat whatever you feel like eating?
Yes, I really do try to veer from sweets and salty ones although I do give in once in a while BUT in moderation.

3. What two types of food do you have a hard time staying away from?
Probably sweets only.

4. What are two food items you refuse to eat?
Perhaps just part of my pregnancy aversions, I’m not into Nilagang Baka lately and surprisingly, KFC! Really weird as KFC has always been my all time favorite. Let’s see after this pregnancy thing if I’ll revert back to it.

5. Are you pleased with your daily diet or do you think it could be better?
I think I could do better. I should try eating more veggies and increase my fruit intake everyday.

How about you? How’s your diet doing lately?

Blog Revival.

Weeeee! I’ve been blogging like crazy since the other day..I bet you’ve noticed it. At least, I have something to keep me busy while I’m confined here at home for one week to rest. I even missed the cemetery-hopping that the family did yesterday. Oh well, at least I was left by hubby with a half roll of a choco caramel cake for merienda as a consolation – what a yummy yum sinfully delicious treat!

I have also revived my Digiscrap Blog although I haven’t done or even started a new layout. Well, I’m just “rejuvenating” my paid blogging pursuit for the mean time anyway and hope my mojos will start hitting again soon. One at a time.

Google has updated PR rankings once again and what I got? Both a good news: my own domain blog got a whopping PR3 from 0 and a bad news: this blog went down to PR2 from PR3. Well, not bad. I guess that’s what I deserve from neglecting this blog for quite some time.

Glad to know that Paypal Philippines has a receiving facility already albeit having a limited withdrawal feature…this is indeed great especially for me who’s into paid blogging. Which reminds me, I’ll inquire from my credit card company how to go about this one and also, I need to discover how to change the paypal ID I registered over at PPP. I tried doing it in my dashboard but it seems I can’t successfully change it. I wonder how I should do it.

Shopping List.

I know, a lot is still enjoying the Halloween fever (and Thanksgiving is coming up) but pardon me if I can’t stop blabbing about and planning ahead for the Christmas holiday. Hey it’s my favorite time of the year and I really can’t help but start feeling it this early..LOL! I’m done with my own wish list and now I just have to trim down and finalize the list for everybody at home so I can start my online shopping already.

For hubby, I’m still torn between surprising him with an iPod Nano and a portable basketball system he’s been wanting for so long. It’s a good thing that I got coupon codes like Apple deals and The Sports Authority coupons that I could use for hefty savings and free shipping. For my brother, I bet he’ll be delighted with an Apple USB Power Adapter so he can charge his iPod even without connecting it to a computer. For my sister, I found a ¾ Sleeve Turtleneck top at Gap which she would surely love. I’m still clueless what to give my folks but probably I’ll just maximize the Gap coupons I have and buy them apparels as well.

My Christmas Wish List.

As mentioned in my previous post, I’ll share what I have come up with my Christmas Wish List for this year. I would love to shop them by myself but hey, I need to scrimp big time since we’re saving for the coming of the Little One. Besides, I’ve been good this year so I know Santa is brewing up some reward for me…lol! I heard, Santa’s a blog stalker and an early shopper so I better start displaying my wish list on my blog!

1. The Choice by Nicholas Sparks

I love Nicholas Sparks! I have read all of his novels (and even watched those that were adapted into films – The Notebook, Message in a Bottle and A Walk To Remember) and I just simply looooove his style. I can’t wait to own a copy of his latest work (released just last Sept) and add it to my stash of Sparks collection.

2. Guess How Much I Love You: My Baby Book by Sam Mcbratney


Well, a little something not only for me but most especially for the Little One. Based on the popular bedtime tearjerker story Guess How Much I Love You, it is not just an ordinary baby book but an endearing keepsake to record memories, photos and milestones of the baby’s early years. Although I’m into digiscrapping, I might not just have the ample time to scrap those memories since for sure I’d be more busy tending to and taking care of the Little One by that time.

3. A Baby Couture Diaper Bag


Again something that would be very useful when the Little One arrives. As the shop tags it, a designer diaper bag for the trendy mom. I just love how fashionable you can still get even though what can be found inside are baby things and all those stuffs.

4. R' Jellybean Baby Sling by Next9

And again wishing for something related and useful for the Little One. According to the site, worn babies: cry less, have increased mental, emotional and physical development and actually develop healthy spines. It also makes life easier for the parent because: 1.) It's easier to breastfeed. Using a sling means discreet and hands free nursing. 2) The baby can be brought anywhere. No more huge strollers to lug around and maneuver along narrow aisles or corridors 3.) The sling distributes the baby's weight across the wearer’s back and so the child feels lighter. 4.) With the baby in the sling, mom’s hands are no longer tied down and so she can do her day to day chores or even go shopping!

5. Digital Scrapbooking Magazine August/September 2007 and October/November 2007 issues
Hmm…even though my creative juices are still lingering somewhere, I would love to be updated of the latest techniques and “what’s hot”s in the digiscrapping world. Who knows, my mojos will be back soon and I’ll start hitting my digital kits and Photoshop like crazy again.

Christmas Countdown.

I can’t believe it’s only 54 days ‘til Christmas!!!

Yeah I know the Halloween fever is not over yet but hey, time flies so fast that before we knew it, we’re busy once again unwrapping Xmas gifts and partying the season to bits. Besides, I am starting to feel the holidays with the Christmas Gift Swap being cooked up in the Bebots Digiscrapping Forum. I’ve already drafted my wish list (which deserves another blog entry) and submitted my mailing address to the organizer. Now I only have to wait for my baby’s (the one I’ll be exchanging gift with) address and for her wish list so I can start shopping.

Speaking of gift lists, I bet I have to start drafting my holiday shopping list as well for my loved ones and colleagues. I should start hunting and shopping gifts before my tummy gets bigger and heavier in the weeks to come. I already have an idea what to give my hubby, family and my female colleagues. I’m now just trying to look for cool gifts for guys that I can give my boss and other guy colleagues. Probably an Aluminum Gearshift Console Pen Holder will do. It’ll be useful and it’ll definitely spice up their desks. Isn’t it nice, what do you think?
