Life In A Snapshot

Everything is so overwhelming! So many tasks plus work plus house chores will definitely make me insane! Thanks to my work and my sideline anyway! I love it! This is much better than having nothing so bring it on! How can I can concentrate when I am also thinking of my plans for my flickr® reorganization? Yes, I have started reorganizing my photos in flickr® and this would be a lot of work! Well, before I get lost with everything, I’d check for acne treatment review and acne scars treatment to know what would be the best for Ace. I want him to undergo treatment to eliminate the scars that adolescent pimples/acne left on his face.

Our little pup is now a big doggie! He doesn’t look like a pup anymore. He’s hyperactive and loves running around the house so it’s quite hard to get a decent photo of him.

It’s almost a week that I’ve been drinking my sleep inducer tea – the Camomile tea. I had problem dozing off immediately for weeks that I was so bothered. Imagine being off from work at 2AM and my body clock’s sleeping time is 4AM. So after asking Mr. I searched the internet for home remedy for insomnia and found out Camomile tea and Lavender oil are the best to promote relaxation and sleep. I don’t know if the lavender oil sold in the scented candle section of SM Homeworld is the one they are referring to so I chose Camomile tea to be safe. It’s a bit pricey for a tea but I don’t mind as long as it will put me to deep slumber after drinking it. I can’t believe it works! Not only that I was able to sleep but I feel more recharged than ever! No groggy mornings on my part. Even if I slept for just 4 hours, it feels like I slept longer! Yay for me! No more wishing that Ace will leave for work any minute so I can go back to sleep. In fact, as soon as Ace leaves for work, I go back to work too and go back to sleep at noon. The verdict is obvious. Camomile tea is effective. I wonder if teas for weight loss are also that effective. I wanna try one but I need to do more research about it and compare with other weight loss drinks out in the market. I hope to find one brand of tea that is effective and yet not pricey. Any idea?

My free 12×18 prints from ArtsCow arrived today. The photos are so nice and print quality is superb! I love it!!!

It took me more than a year to finally land a job that is related to my course. I’ve been so engrossed in the thought that I SHOULD be working as an HR thus I’ve been searching for a job day in day out. I have used so many means in finding the right job. Been a frequent visitor of PESO office in the city hall, job posting boards in a university, and an online job search that is so helpful not only for me but also to other applicants. So when people ask me to help them find a job, I refer them to to the local PESO office, the bulletin boards of the universities and the online job postings from different companies.

Ace was home. He called for a sick leave from work so he was dominating the use of the lappy. Thus I had time to sit in the sofa which I don’t normally do…twas such a relaxing day!

We are looking forward for a financial freedom soon. But unless we go into something that is worth investing, we won’t achieve that goal. So saving money in the bank forever is not an option. It should be invested into something profitable and stable. Business venture? Stock trading? Name it, it’s part of our options. We are more positive into trading but we need to learn the tricks first. The good news is, gold is now being traded! Wohooo! This must be great because with gold, it’s always a win-win situation! Or if we can’t go for online stock trading, we can buy gold bullion. It’s a sound investment…a sure money, a sure hit!

We were given these cashew nuts from Ace’ sister and her hubby. It was our first time to munch on cashew nuts and so far we love it! It’s much yummier than my first fave – Pili Nuts.

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.

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.
