I am supper happy today. I spent the entire morning in the salon. ME time. A working mom like me rarely gets me time these days.

I had my hair colored, I had my nails done and I was able to do window shopping. My hair looks okay, I wanted highlights and lowlights but I had no time and no more money so I just had a lighter base color put in. I’ll take pictures IF I’ll have a good hair day tomorrow.

So enough about hair, I am seriously getting worried about my weight. Specifically in my tummy area, no matter how I “kind of” exercise and eat a little less it still bulges. Ugly, I know. I barely fit into my size 26 jeans earlier! I am considering taking weight loss pills, I mean it can’t hurt to try right?

It is exactly 12:12 AM in my watch and I can’t sleep. I should not have had those 2 cups of coffee earlier. I finished watching all the good shows on TV. I even watched WOW Maling-Mali. It was hilarious. I was engrossed with watching The Practice as well. And my newest fave show is Parco PI.

The little boy is sleeping soundly beside me & I carefully type this entry because the tapping might wake him up. I’ve finally finished reading Sophie Kinsella’s, Can You Keep A Secret. It was a funny book like all the other books by Kinsella. I have yet to get hold of a copy of the Undomestic Goddess. I hear it’s nice too. We’ll see.

Super excited for Sunday, will watch SATC Movie with my good friends…!

What else…oohh yah, I’m thinking of having my hair colored tomorrow; I dunno lighter hair might make me look fat. Our cook said I looked pregnant and that my tummy was getting big; which irked me really because this cook is super tactless, I just had a big dinner, of course my tummy would be huge. DUH. And no, I am not pregnant ~ yet. Besides if I am I will not hide it!

Inspired by the book, I’d spill my little secrets here too like….

+ A friend gave me a whole cake for my birthday last Monday & I finished it all, on my own. I did not share.

+ My son is afraid of shampoo suds..but I scare him anyway because it’s fun.

+ I prefer Jennifer Aniston over Angelina Jolie.

+ I DON’T get people who wear baggy clothes (but it doesn’t mean I don’t like ‘em OK)

There! I feel so much better. I guess I will sleep already..its getting late. Enjoy your weekend guys!

Many of you shopaholics may have heard of the great black friday sales that happens the day after Thanksgiving; but for those of you who have no clue what it’s all about let me just say read on!

Black Friday (shopping) is the day after Thanksgiving in the USA. Since Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursday in November, black friday sales may be as early as the 23rd and as late as the 29th of November. Black Friday is not an official holiday, but many employers give the day off, increasing the number of potential shoppers. Retailers open as early as 5 am or even earlier and offer lots of deals to draw people to their stores.

Great huh? Want to know something greater? Aside from saving money when shopping on black friday sales; you can avoid the hassle of having to stand in line with the crowd by shopping online! In the Black Friday Website you can browse online your favorite stores like Toys R Us, Babies R Us, Ikea, Sears, Target, Wallmart and see what great discounts they offer. Not only that, their website sends out email alerts that let you know when new black friday ads have been posted. This is a great way to plan holiday shopping months ahead.

I am saving up for the black friday sales starting right now!

If I had video footage for every little funny, witty, amazing, sweet thing my son Ozzy has done & said since then I’m sure it would make a full length movie by now.

It still amazes me that this sweet, innocent angel can say stuff like this & this.

A few updates on his ever expanding vocabulary:

1. /ow-ter/ - Water.
2. /ay-miss/ - Hi, Miss. {chickboy in the making. TskTsk}
3. /ah-tee/ - Aunty Jennie {my sister who used bribery & food to teach the boy her name and that’s the best he can come up with}
4. /gee-af/ - Giraffe
5. /ari/ - Marie {next door yaya}
6. /at/ - Cat {i just heard him say this ONCE. All the other time its “meow”}
7. /Owa/ - Joshua {himself}

• Sometimes we catch him pointing with his mouth {gosh, so Pinoy!} I didn’t teach him that I think he got it from the help.
• When counting, Wa-too-tee-too-tee-too-tee-en! (1,2,3,2,3,2,3-10!)

A funny conversation that we had 3 nights ago.

Me: Baby, who do you love??

Ozzy: Mommy, Daddy.

Me: Who does Mommy love?

Ozzy: Daddy.

Me: Who does Daddy love?

Ozzy : YAYA!

BWAHAHAHAHAHA! His dad laughed so hard when he heard it.

Joy Ball & Renz tagged me to share 10 things/facts/habits about myself.

I have actually done this type of tag many times. There’s 8 Facts About Me, 6 Quirky things About Me, 8 Random things about me and lastly more 6 Quirky facts about me .

So all in all that’s 28 little facts about me, myself and moi. Narcissistic much? Not quite. I will accept the challenge and now I will write down 10 Facts About Me Right Now.(as in right this very moment, to give the meme a bit of a slant)

1. I am currently blogging and checking for possible ‘tasks’ instead of uhmmm working.
2. I was late for work ~ yet again.
3. I am wearing blue jeans, pink shoes and white shirt with a red cherry embellishment.
4. I have no make-up on and my hair is a mess. (but that’s OK because I am at home besides I was late as it is, no time for makeup and hair hehe)
5. I am dizzy. Been dizzy for the past few days.
6. No I am not pregnant.
7. I think its because of my impacted wisdom tooth. Gotta have ‘em pulled but each tooth costs Php5T!!!
8. I badly need a manicure, pedicure and foot scrub.
9. The little boy bumped his head on the floor earlier while his yaya was watching him. I feel like it was my fault that he got hurt. Even if its not, many times I feel it’s mine because I am the mom I should know better. Don’t you feel that way too?
10. Lastly, I was moved to tears 5 minutes ago with what hubby sent me regarding the China Earthquake where acts of love & kindness helped many to survive the tragedy. There are silent heroes everywhere and they should be honored and remembered. Read more… »

    

I always look forward for weekends. Not only can I get to relax & unwind, I can also go out and spend ‘quality time’ with the family. I usually feel bad that Ozzy stays home all week so I make it a point to bring him with us even if its just groceries or errands.

Although we have not yet had our weekend getaway (as planned) becasue of conflicting schedules & uncooperative weather, that’s OK. Malling and small family gatherings kept us entertained throughout Saturday & Sunday. Lotsa pictures!

Saturday

We had dinner with hubby’s side of the family because a cousin is leaving for Canada. His wife is already there and they are planning on settling down there for good.

====================================================

Sorry for lack of ‘real’ posts guys. I am actually busy. Josh’s application is keeping me busy and work is pretty much stacking up since it is nearing month-end. Lots of summaries to do, payables and what-not. Anyway, I am feeling ‘vain’ today thus the picture. Teehee.

I had the perfect hair day last Sunday. I think it was because of the weather. It was not too hot therefore resulting to a tame and non-frizzy hair. Why, why don’t I have perfect hair like these 4 “hailed most beautiful non-girls“? bwahaha ^_^

If you’ve seen that commercial spoof. Then I know you are laughing right now. If not click that link and laugh with me.

Just felt like sharing that video because it made my day. Total laugh trip.
