image Acne can be serious or can be an ordinary thing for others. If you deal with people having face to face interaction, not literally face to face, then you’re one of the people who also bothered to have acne. I don’t mind the zits when I was teenager cause I thought that it was an ordinary thing, only puberty hormones that causing the breakouts. Not now anymore, cause I’m passed my puberty and still dealing with acne.

I heard rave reviews about Acne Complex that truly helped a lot of people get rid or take control of their breakouts. How I wish I found this solution earlier.. at least I’m able to avoid more scars on my chin.

Anyway, I can still use Murad Acne solution and be free with acne soon.. then I will take care of the scars after. Results can be seen as early as four weeks. And the products have no benzoyl peroxide, it sounds very promising! ;)

I still have more than 20 hours till 2009 comes in and as early as 4am, I already have things lined up ;) I want to start the year as an organize person.. lol I think that’s one of the things I’m lacking. I don’t need to shop anymore except for the sports gifts that hubby is wishing. I want to cut back in my spending for the coming year.. I have stuff I need to save on. ;) I know that small amount doesn’t hurt but once things get summed up.. then I start to regret why did I spent that much. So I’m hoping to less debt and more savings for next year!

Few months ago, hubby and I are thinking about buying hybrid cars because of gas price that is very high. We did not think about the possibility that it will fall more than half of the price during that time. We are surprised but very happy ;) I’m reading quite information about hybrid car and fuel efficient automobile lately. Our plan of buying hybrid car is still on.. we’re just postponing when is the right time.

Prius accessoires and Hybrid car and truck accessories are just one my husband concerns. He said that hybrid parts are really costly and hard to find. But I think this is not the case anymore, since JuicedHybrid.com offers performance products and Ev mode or electric only products for prius in reasonable price. So that concern is already taken care of.

I just wish that this coming year, my wish of having a new car will come true.

Hubby is having a second thought whether to buy coilovers for the CRV before he trade it in. We need to look the price difference on the trade in value if we will change it. We need a van to accommodate our big family and we want as much as possible to limit out of pocket expenses. We still haven’t decided what car to get though.. and that involves another brainstorming with my husband. In the meantime he needs to decide whether to upgrade the CRV or not.

Are you of millions who got affected by the US recession? I’m thankful that before layoffs hit private industries, I was able to find a state job. Not a perfect job but better than nothing. Previously, I don’t have a hard time finding jobs in finance, but not this time. Seems like market was truly hit big time! Keep on applying and continue praying to get a job.. that’s all I can say.

I started last week to withdraw from eating sweets. But guess what, the calories and sugar that I avoid eating directly from cookies, chocolates, and other food were replaced by my rice intake. So my goal this week is to cut back from eating rice plus sweets. Hope I will not be needing any help from Anoretix to loose weight. I really want to do it naturally. So wish me all the best for this week :D

It’s not Wednesday but better to be early right? Or late..lol

button by you.

1. Does it bother you when you are eating and someone near you lets out a loud juicy fart?
Yes! Even I don’t smell it.. lol

2. Would you like for menu items at restaurants to list calorie counts?
Yes.. at least I know what I am dealing for.

3. At an "all you can eat" restaurant, how much do you typically eat?
At least three round.. or until I feel that I want to puke.. or when my stomach aches.

4. Has anyone ever deliberately tried to sabotage your diet?
My husband, he’s always buying stuff that I love and munching it while I’m around.

5. Have you ever had to pretend to like someone’s cooking to avoid hurting that person’s feelings?
Yes.. lol But not with my mom, hubby and siblings. I tell directly if it taste bad.

Off to check some Oscar de la Renta gown for my sister’s party for her friend.
