Laguna Adventure

I always considered Los Banos, Laguna as my home. After I graduated high school at Cebu, I stayed at Los Banos Laguna. The place where I learned so many things and knew different types of people. I am also familiar of the different places in LB unlike in Cebu or Cagayan de Oro (my birthplace).

We decided to visit Art Center, it is situated at the Mt. Makiling. It's my kids, siblings and hubby's first time to visit. Hubby is also so happy that he experienced the Magnetic Hill. It's unforgettable for him.

Here are some of the pictures:

Sugar Update

For the past weeks my blood sugar just go as high as 380mg/dl. If that happens I feel so uneasy and into depression.

So I started working out and watch my diet. I exercise 3 times a week for at least 1 hour - 2 hours. About my diet, I don't eat rice after 12 midnight. Since I am working at night this is really a big sacrifice to me. My body used to have carbo at night. So at first it is very difficult but with the help of my husband I meet my goal. He helps me wake up early for my workout. He is also very careful in buying food.

When I walk up today, I checked my blood sugar and its 148mg/dl. Yes, its still high because my target is 120mg/dl but I considered it a success compared to the previous readings.

I don't take any medications too. When I took metformin for 2 days, my whole system is not doing well. I vomit, not get enough sleep, faint, don't want to eat and almost loss consciousness. That was so hard and I don't want it. Its not safe.

So while my system are not yet used to medications and maybe my diabetes are just starting, I believe that I can still do something about it to normalize without the help of medicines.

I am happy because so far it works for me and I am looking forward that my sugar will go down to 120mg/dl.

Lens... Lens..

I spent most of the time today searching for the best macro lens. Oh my...

I love macro shots but the lens is expensive. I think I should start saving to have the lens I ever wanted.

Here it is!!

It's a Nikon 105mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor Lens, $850 at Amazon.


and can have this effect



So I have to work hard to own this lens.

Putting Kids to Bed

It is always a challenge in putting 2 kids to bed.

I almost spent 30 minutes on putting kids to sleep. Sometimes I have to read them a book or play with them until they got tired.

But.. lately we tried something new..

We let them sleep in different rooms so that no distractions. Pillow is very sensitive to Gareth's noise and since Gareth loves to sing before sleeping this is a big challenge for Pillow.

The problem also is with me, I can't sleep if my kids are not with us in the room. I love to hugs them while they are sleeping.

But in the end, I love to see them fall asleep and sometimes they are talking while sleeping and that is so funny.

I am not a Writer

okay...  I would like to remind everyone that I am not really a writer!! I just love blogging and sharing my thoughts.

You may noticed some wrong grammar, wrong spelling and some other things that are not acceptable to YOU... sorry for that but this is my BLOG...

IF you can't stand it then stop dropping by...

I can still breath without you...

Seriously...  I don't really care.

XOXO

Investment

Investment.

That is my priority this time. I am glad that finally I opened an account at FAMI Mutual Funds. I read about it for the whole week and I liked it. I placed 5k as a start then maybe I will add 5k a month.

Working at home and earning online is not really secure so I should start investing on something. Well, we got insurance and hoping that next month I will get trust funds for the kids.

I am excited that I am learning and now focus on this one. I just simply love it!

Yes, I have some guilty pleasures like clothes, bags, jewelry, cameras, makeups and shoes but most of the time I am thinking of savings for our future.

Well, just lately I come up of a new business ideas and I shared it to hubby. Now we are starting the business and I am hoping that it will work.

Still Awake

I am already sleepy but I can't sleep. My blood sugar shoot up to 254mg/dl and I need to do something to lower it before going to sleep.

The truth is... I really don't know what to do anymore. I hate those numbers!!

I don't want to take my medications because it made me sick more. It causes stomachache and I hate it.

Well...

no matter what I am experiencing right now is nothing...  I love my life!

I can overcome it!

My New Nikon D3000

I ordered my Nikon D3000 last month from a friend. She ordered it from Amazon and so happy that I got it today.

I am excited to learn the different techniques and maybe I will be joining photography lessons.

oDesk Meet and Greet

For the first time oDesk Meet and Greet in Manila was held last Thursday. Hubby and I received the invitations and we are really very excited to meet our fellow oDeskers.

I also met my college friend after 14 years.

I am at oDesk since October of 2007 and since then I never leave oDesk. I got my full time job at oDesk. I started data entry projects, writer and SEO. When I became a Marketing Assistant my life changes. When we need additional help, I asked my husband to join our team and that is the start of the unbelievable program. Our Mentor from U.S help us gain more clients. He held conferences just to show the program and so glad that his fellow managers joined too. We become Country Marketing Managers and currently handling U.S. offices and soon Canada.

I am so thankful and forever grateful to oDesk for opening the opportunities to us. I never thought that a stay at home mom like me can earn while taking care of my kids.

If you are interested to hire me.. check my oDesk Profile.
