Detoxification

By acelyn On February 7th, 2010

I’ve tried detoxifying through fruit and veggie diet last year. But I am not sure if all toxins were excreted from my body. However, I felt some changes during the duration of the diet and days or weeks after it. I think that kind of detoxification would not work for me for long- say 2 weeks because I sometimes crave for rice and meat – which is a big no-no in the diet. Then I tried drinking tea for detoxification. But it didn’t work for me because I am too lazy to boil water for me to drink tea. I know there’s too many toxins in my body that I would need rapid detox like the procedure that is being done with drug dependents. I just hope rapid detox will also be available to those who wanted fast detoxification of their body. Let’s wait and see for future developments.

Fireplace

Did I read it right? There’s an electric fireplace out in the market?! Maybe I am just too behind with this thing because we are in the tropics and Amish fireplace is not a necessity unless we live in the mountains. This must be something interesting because there’s no need for firewood or coal to make fire. I just don’t know how exactly it works so I’d better check that one out. I am just intrigued. Who knows, fate will bring us to a mansion over the hilltop that we need a fireplace. So an electric fireplace is one good thing to consider.

New year’s eve sunset at Paradise Island

Sunset on new year’s eve at Paradise Island Beach Park and Resort in Samal Island, Davao del Norte. Excuse the dust spots. The giotto’s rocket blower isn’t that effective to clean the camera’s sensor. Bad!

Beach bumming

By acelyn On February 5th, 2010

Can’t wait for summer! Summer means vacation, beach, outdoors! Did I say vacation and beach? Yes, can’t wait for our planned vacation to…nope, not in riviera maya (wish we could also try the white sand beaches of Riviera Maya). but just somewhere in Visayas. We hope to push that vacation (Lord willing) to give ourselves a break from the monotony of life at work. After the hard work, we deserve to just bum around at the white sand beaches of Bantayan Island and pig out on sumptuous seafood dishes of the island. Yay! We’re so excited!

starbucks tumbler

January 12. Ace was beaming when he showed me what he got from his sister and BIL for his birthday. It’s a Starbucks tumbler that he so wanted to have but we weren’t able to got one during our Manila trip because tumblers during that time are with Christmas theme. Nai promised him to get one and so he never failed Ace! How sweet of them. :-)

It’s weekend!

By acelyn On January 29th, 2010

It’s weekend! Hopefully I could sleep in tomorrow morning and just veg the whole day. Will that be possible? I hope so. But before I plan about our weekend, which I am sure Ace will want to go on road trip again, I’d better check for companies where we could ask for  term life insurance quotes. Who knows, we might afford to get one in the future (that if Ace wouldn’t be connected with USI anymore because he is insured for the time being).

I am working late again! Argggh! I am now having mixed emotions about my work schedule. Is this the price I pay for quitting my day job? Oh well, at least I am working from home….in the comfort of our home. Anyway, thanks goodness that I have a job and nice superiors. I’m just lucky.

Road bike

By acelyn On January 23rd, 2010

After a year of prodding and a lot of convincing, I finally gave in to Ace’ want – a road bike. He has all the reasons just to convince me that he really need one. To end the discussion I said “yes” and finally got his first motor bike that he can use in going to the office this afternoon. No pictures yet as it’s already dark when we arrived here at home and I am not in the mood to take out the camera. Maybe tomorrow I could take some photos. Anyway, he got a Honda Wave 110 Dash. It comes with a free registration and one year insurance so we won’t be needing those insurance quotes this time. On its renewal next year, we will definitely need it so we can compare the prices and coverage.

We missed celebrating the holidays and New Year with DadMa (Ace’ parents) for they went to Mama’s hometown then spent the New Year in Dumaguete City. When they arrived from their vacation, we invited them over for dinner on Sunday evening and this was the very first dinner that we are complete, at least on my side. We had grilled Tuna belly, Beef with Ampalaya, Crabs and Brazo de Mercedes (from Goldilocks) for dessert. I must say, everybody’s so full that we weren’t able to finish the cake.

Giving up

By acelyn On January 23rd, 2010

Feels like my body is finally giving up for not getting the right amount of sleep and rest lately. It’s been a while that I wasn’t sick and I think today is the start that my body giving up to exhaustion. I would still want to finish some tasks so I’ll try to do some and leave whatever I can’t finish tonight. Going to bed early is what I badly need now but as I am still waiting for the freezer to defrost so I could clean it and put the meat that we got from the grocery earlier, I’d better check www.goodsamfinancecenter.com. Then after I’d put away the meat in the freezer, it’s time to hit the bed.
