I’m still convincing my husband to consider the cheap auto insurance quote that we received online. Based on the quoted premium we can save $600 annually. That’s more money to spend in other things. He knows our current agent, and that makes him hard to decide of moving to different company. Let see what will overrule to him.. the $600 savings or his loyalty. ;) I’m bad to have him pick between the two. lol Would you help him decide?:D

I’m wondering if my mom can find deal of wholesale diamonds back to Philippines next month. I want to upgrade my earrings to a bigger store. And that would be nice if we can get the store cheaper. I will give the small stone I have to my daughter for her earrings too. I remember most of the jewelry in Manila is cheaper than here in US. Yaaay! It reminds me to give more pocket money for my mom’s vacation. lol

I tried various acne cream with no avail of permanent help ? I noticed that it’s hard to control hormonal acne.. cause it often breakouts close to your period and any acne cream cannot stop the camping formation of these tiny bumps. :( Do you know any help to tame reactive hormones on that time? I would love to hear how to slowdown or stop the acne causing hormones.

Hope my kids will not get this reactive hormones when they reach puberty…

Blessings comes in different way. It could be bad to some but there’s always good behind it. ;) Take advantage of the goodness.. life must go on! Life is good!

I was about to buy shampoo for thinning hair when I went to health store the other day. I have natural thin hair but I noticed on the bathroom that I am loosing a lot. I’m scared that I will be bald in few years from now.. My brother at age 31 have a bald spot already. Yaaay! It seems that it runs on our genes but I don’t know if it has the same effect with the female. Better to prevent it early before it gets too late!

I once used natural colon cleanse but I have to stop because I was so bloated. I think something is wrong on how I do it. I didn’t follow word for word the instructions and that could be the reason why I had the bloating side effects. I need to do it again and this time.. I promised to follow diligently. Now, I need to check if the product is not expired yet ;)

My days are always busy lately.. too many things I need to be done. I wish we can fully use the 24 hours in a day. ;(

This is what I learned this morning from the book Why Living a Godly Life Bring Happiness:

In our house, gift-giving is all year long. Greater happiness results when gifts are given spontaneously.

And it’s so true! I grew up not celebrating birthdays or Christmas.. so imagine my life without gifts through the year to expect? One will naturally comment that life like that is full of sadness. But I realized that I received gifts throughout the year even no occasion to celebrate. ;) And I often feel the same thing.. I just give gift whenever I want to, or “just because.” So, no I don’t feel deprived or saddened by this. Its like a natural sleeping pills in my life now. Beneficial without side effects.

I do not know if I should find oily skin treatment or treat my reactive hormones first. Because isn’t that oily skin is caused by hormones? Okay.. maybe I’m wrong. lol I have oily t zone and get hormonal breakouts when I’m close to have my period.. So I’m not sure what should I do with hormonal breakouts. I tried mostly all acne products to help me but still.. it goes back once a month. Please let me know if you know any to help my reactive hormones.

Whether it occurs early, late, or right on time, the growth spurt of puberty makes many youths overly aware of how they look. Girls may greet their new curves with excitement or with apprehension—or with a mixture of both. Add the discovery of acne—and makeup—and it is easy to see why teens may seem to spend more time in front of the mirror than in front of a school textbook. That is something I’m not looking forward to my kids to face on their puberty.. dealing with acne. :( Can you believe on my 30′s now I’m still searching for effective adult acne treatments, I don’t want them to have this battle like I did.  

We attended a baby shower last Saturday of our friend. I’m so happy that they are having a girl.. the idea of giving them a football gifts will not work. :p I actually didn’t give any purchased stuff.. just money so they can use it on stuff that they most needed.

Below are the photos of food we ate on the party.. mostly Filipino foods. :) I’m craving for this food again!
