it's here

Over a week ago I asked the sister-in-law who is living in Manila if she could find me Nissin Cup Noodles Seafood Flavor which specifically came from Japan. Demanding? Hell, yeah! Lol. I am when it comes to the food I crave for. I will not take copycats, it has to be the original. So she said she will look around and apparently found some because she mailed me a package a day or two later. The said package was delivered yesterday but I was not here to accept it and for some reason the mailman did not leave it on our door. So I have two options-either to wait for redelivery or pick it up at the post office. Whichever way, I am fine with it. I hope the noodles will not disappoint for hers and my sake. I am excited. I will post pictures when I get the package so you will know what I am talking about.

dimples

No, I am not talking about the ones you see on the face. I am talking about cellulite which I just noticed when the husband pointed it to me today while I was walking. He was shocked more than I was, lol. It is disgusting! I can't believe I am looking like this. I have been fat before but my legs never looked like this. He said maybe because I was young then and age does make a difference. I am disappointed with myself. How could I have let myself get this bad? I was confident I was losing weight and I did not even suspect something was happening to my thighs and legs. I have to do something about it and quick. The husband said I have to quit eating too much. Frankly, I don't think I do. It is the lack of activity that is making it bad. Less action, less calories burn. This may be the reason why I have been feeling tired lately. This has to stop. I need to be more active and persistent on losing weight for my own sake. I hope I can do it.

happy birthday mama

Today is Mamsy's birthday. I don't know how many birthdays of hers I missed through the years. I was always away either in school or in Manila and now I am thousands of miles away. The last time I remember being with her on her birthday was when we did not even have any money to celebrate it. She decided to work and left us at home feeling guilty for not being able to give her something for her special day. We are trying to make up for the times she did not get anything though. Since we could afford it we have been giving her a little something for her birthday. When my younger brother was in Leyte for her birthday he made lavish preparations for her where he invited her siblings and the rest of the relatives. She had a good time which was marred when the guests started brandishing machete's when they got drunk, lol. It was not her fault though. Anyway, since J is in a boat working, it is just Papsy and Mamsy at home so the husband and I decided to send them money to be spent however they want. It was not much but we hope it will make her happy. We let her know that if we could, we will surely be there but it is not possible at the moment. We hope she will have a good day today.

Happy birthday Mama. I know I claim to be a good kid but I sure did give you a hard time for just about anything. I am sorry for those times. I hope you are happy with our accomplishments. Thanks for the prayers and for the guidance. You and Papsy sure are a team. If not for your hard work and perseverance we would not be where we are right now. Thank you. We hope to visit soon so you can finally meet your first grandchild. We love you.

important information

I have visited amyafrica.com, a Qlog, which is a blog which answer questions about how-to's in analytics, SEO, email marketing, and other related topics. Ever since I started getting in the web I have heard so much about optimization so I could earn while doing something I like. For the life of me though, I could not take all the information in. I end getting frustrated just reading at all the terminology and instead of learning something at the end of each topic I read, I do not. I am telling you it is frustrating to say the least. I really want to learn so one of these days (when I have enough guts, money, and knowledge) I can set up my own online business. For now I will visit Amy Africa's Qlog to gain more information. I like the way her site is set-up. Everything is accessible and the pages load pretty quick. I also like the fact that she combines humor and information in her post. On reading one of her posts, I realized I need to learn more if I want to be successful. After all Amy said customers do not care much about a web page's design which I thought was the end all and be all of website building. Was I wrong! You want to know what customers want? Head on over at http://www.amyafrica.com and see for yourself. I know I will come back when I have the time to read more of her posts and know her answers to people's queries.

nissin cup noodles

I called the sister-in-law (brother's wife) this morning. I had a very huge favor to ask from her-to send me Nissin cup noodles seafood flavor made from Japan. Di ba sosyal? Lol. I just have this crazy craving for that particular kind of noodles and no imitation will do. It has to be the real thing. She said SM grocery stores carry the product so she is going to buy me some along with other things I want in that box. I told her to taste it first though and make sure it is the real thing before she sends me anything because I don't want her to spend money on something I will not have any use of. I hope to hear from her by next week. I am already excited!

i want the xbox 360

I have visited different blogs in almost two years of blogging and I have seen cool prizes on blog contests but this is the first time I want to join. You know why? Because I want to win one of the prizes on the contest and that is an Xbox 360 Elite Gaming System. Should I win, it will be my first time to own one. I really would like to own one. I know I could buy this product on stores but why should I when it is free should I win the contest? The contest I am talking about is from It's a Blu World. No, you do not have to buy the energy drink BluFrog which is supposed to be taking the world by storm, to be able to join the contest. Although if you are wild about energy drinks, you might want to try it considering it is said to be made with all natural ingredients. Anyway, there are easy ways to join the contest and these are either leaving a blog comment on their page (which I am going to do), or tweet on twitter why you entered and which experience you would choose, and last, if you have a blog write a blog post about the contest. Aren't these steps easy? So head on over to itsabluworld.com and decide which one of the five fabulous prizes you want to win. If you do not like the Xbox gaming system you can always opt for spending New Year's eve in New York, or you might want to go to Lolapalloza in Chicago. If you are into sports, you might be interested to win a Richard Petty racing experience or go to Aspen for the Winter X Games.

happy birthday

I received an email today from a college friend greeting me a happy birthday. I was surprised. Why? Because it is not my birthday. It is still the middle of the year. I don't celebrate my birthday until after Christmas. So I emailed back saying just that and he replied he had an email from a social networking site reminding him it is my birthday today. Talk about messed up, lol. Well, we got that out of the way so all is well. It reminded me of a mistake I did due to Friendster. I emailed a friend on my list telling her happy birthday when it turned out it was not her birthday. Wonder what happened there? A glitch maybe?

barbecue pinoy style

I fixed my own Filipino style barbecue a little while ago. I found a blog which talked about how to fix barbecue and I followed it and sure enough it was good. Although I put a little too much lemon on mine but I think it still was delicious. I love the way the author shared the recipe, she did not write how much of the ingredients should I use. I followed my own taste and it turned out fine. I am keeping her recipe because not only was it simple, the end result was more to my liking. I saved some of the barbecue for the next meal. I am a happy pinay right now although I was not supposed to eat anymore since I already had dinner prior to the barbecue. Guba na naman diet ni madam dah!
