I think that its safe to say that Coca Cola is known worldwide as the average joe’s favorite drink. There is no place in the world that doesn’t know this popular drink. From the big cities to the little “barrios”, Coca Cola rules.

In two weeks, my youngest is turning 5. She’s got her birthday all planned out. I expected it. With her being OC and all. First she asked us if we could check in at our favorite hotel and spend the weekend before her birthday there. Then without our knowing, she started inviting all her cousins (with aunts, uncles, and grandmas) to her supposed birthday dinner at a restaurant she herself chose. Then she started making a list so that her guests wouldn’t have a difficult time finding gifts for her. Then lastly, she informed us of her plans after they were all made and everyone on her guest list agreed to go to her “party”. What can I say….
Di na ako nagugulat na sa tuwing kami ay mamasyal laging nagpapabili ng laruan itong panganay ko. Napakahilig talaga sa mga “cute and fluffy” na laruan itong anak ko. Pero in fernez, lahat ng alaga nya ay mahal na mahal nya. Binibigyan nya agad ng pangalan, binibihisan at minsan nga nilalagyan pa ng band-aid. Minsan nga ay hinihiram ng kapatid nya ang mga laruan nya nga lang pag stuffed toy, naku, no dice. Basta nasali na sa kural nya, walang pwedeng umangkin.

Its official, we’re almost on vacation. I’m literally counting the weeks. I just got the notice from my eldest daughter’s school that classes end on the second week of March. Woot!! That’s less than a month away. And they’ve lightened up on the school work. Thank God for that. To be fair to this school, when the entire city was cancelling classes left and right last year, this school did not. They were very strict about keeping their schedule.
Anyway, since work load is light, I’ve been scanning the net for possible options for our vacation. And just because she got the bug from me, my Mother is also asking if I can plan something out for her. In that case, I’d better get a travel insurance quote if I’m travelling with my mom. As for us, the tickets and the hotel have been booked. All I have to worry about is my figure. Duh?!? Yep, my figure. I’m on a diet so I can do some serious eating on our trip….its what I live for.
Nope, those aren’t cherries. Those little berries were part of a fern like plant that I spotted growing by the side of moss covered stone wall. Unusual.

Spotted this spotted manta during my daughter’s fieldtrip to Ocean Park Manila.

I would like to believe that the good Lord has blessed me with wrinkle free genes. All I have to do is take a look at my mother and I am immediately assured that wrinkles aren’t what I should worry about now that I’m fast coming into the world of middle age. Weight gain, maybe. But wrinkles….nah!!
However, despite my supposedly good luck, this doesn’t mean that I don’t have the good sense to check out some anti aging product comparison. In fact, I do my fair share of fighting age. You’ll never know really if one day you wake up with lines criss-crossing your once youthful mug. Not that I’m afraid to age. I just want to hold on to that last remnant of my youth for as long as I can. Plus, it is flattering to hear people mistake you for someone younger. Gives me enough reason to slather on the moisturizer.

Last weekend, I took the girls on a day trip to Tagaytay. The husband was unable to join us because he was at a seminar. Actually, it was because of this seminar that I decided on this trip. Faced with nothing to do on a Saturday and finding out that my sister was going up to spend the entire weekend at the ridge was enough reason to make the road trip. Besides, I didn’t want to miss out on the cool weather…especially now that summer seems to be fast approaching.
We just got word that we have barely a month and a half until our summer officially starts. Panic mode has set in…at least for me. Why you ask…well, read the title. I am in no way ready to don a bikini. My abs are not worthy!!!
As I’ve said in my previous post, the fact that I can’t shake my soda habit isn’t helping. And I have to admit that I’m not exactly the healthiest eater. I can shun chips but give me a plate of chicharon (pork cracklings) and I’m a goner. As a matter of fact, just to test the amount of fat I’ve been ingesting, I decided to take those pills that supposedly prevent your body from ingesting fat in our food. You know what I’m talking about. To prevent messy spills, I stayed home the day after I took those pills. And I was right, I took in a lot of fat. Ewwww!!
So with that in mind, I started reading up on quick trim burn and cleanse reviews. The thought that all that fat was in my body really got me shuddering. To date, I’ve been trying my best to eat healthier. Honestly. Much to the consternation of my kids who have yet to develop a taste for whole grain breads and all things healthy. C’mon, I have to share it with everyone at home, right.
Sa bawat bagong taon na dumarating lagi akong gumagawa ng mga “resolutions” para sa ikabubuti na aking buhay. Sa dinami-dami na ng nagawa kong pangako, di mawawala ang pag-alaga ng aking pangangatawan at kalusugan. Andyan yung pangako kong mag-ehersisyo ng regular. Andyan yung pag-diyeta ng maayos. At ang isa sa pinakamahirap ay ang pag-iwas sa softdrinks. Sa totoo lang, hanggang balak na lang lagi ito kasi tuwing makakakita ako ng isang bote o lata ng paborito kong softdrinks…wala na…bumibigay na talaga ako. Kaya eto, di lumiit-liit ang aking tiyan.
