Between July 21-27,2008 : The highlight of my week was my date with Josh. Pictures and a bit of kwento HERE. Yup, Click Here.

Other than that, Lao and Ken are finally here. So its the usual dinner+coffee date with my best girl and pa-girl pals! Weeeee…Since I am not in the mood for much talking. Let the pictures speak for itself.

In attendance(L-R seated) : In striking black dress and jet black hair ~ Suri errr Yova, Panyang with a twang, Sexy Mommy Van, JR a.k.a Anhing (the late) JR, Tiya Ruffa sporting my hat (give it back!), Ebbe “what a night!” pa-demure ever and Refreshingly fresh with a shorter ‘do and new LV bag Ronn.

(L-R Standing) : Grumpy Gil, Skinny Lao, and controvertial Ken.

That night was full of stories, funny jokes and revelations. Tomorrow (friday) we’ll have our annual barkada shot (so high school lol) super excited. I just hope my colds and fever die down tonight. I really need to go out and have fun.

…Hubby’s plane left for Hongkong. He’ll catch a connecting flight to Frankfurt then finally to his destination, Stavanger,Norway. It was sad yet bearable considering Ozzy was there to keep me occupied.

Logging off early today because I need to catch up on my work. Was on leave the whole morning. Aside from that, I have a major headache and slight fever which I have been nursing since Monday.

Hope your day went better than mine.

Let’s talk about IT or Information Technology shall we?

When I entered college in 2000 Information Technology (IT) was a relatively new course offered. My dad told me it was the latest thing in computer and programming. For sure, by the time I graduate this will be an in-demand course (apart from Nursing but that’s another story all together). My best friend Karen took up IT and tried to talk me into it but due to ignorance on computers, I declined. Now she has a high paying job working for a great and innovative company.

I am happy with my current job and I have no plans of resigning whatsoever but after I started blogging and learning about the internet and html and editing css codes, I realized extra training and knowledge on IT and its benefits can help me in life. I looked into Cisco certification programs and realized that its not too late for me to start learning some more regarding computers, internet and programming.

Its not wonder how extra knowledge and training can advance a person’s career. It would look great in employers eyes if one has added certifications and seminars attended. With Cisco, one can join in the exciting conversations about career advancement and you can discover more about the future of networking technology.

The IT certification programs available through Cisco Career Certifications bring valuable rewards to networking professionals, their managers, and the organizations that employ them. In addition to general certifications in routing & switching, design, voice and wireless there are also special certifications for networking personnel so that they can enhance their basic knowledge in security, IP telephony, and wireless.

Sound interesting, then go on and check out what Cisco can offer!

I can only ask Thea why she gave me this award when clearly, I am no artist. Unlike her, I don’t scrap, I don’t make wonderful colorful themes from scratch, I don’t even know how to use Photoshop. But I do express my creativity through my writing and at times, when I was younger, I also went into scrap booking.

This all started when I became a mom. My inner creativity was unleashed. Teehee

Thanks Thei, for thinking of me. I’m passing this on to : Abie, Arlene, Chat, Em, JennyR, Mitch and Yenny Girl

…I hate it. I tried not eating rice last night and when I woke up at 7AM earlier, my first thought was food. I was hungry. So I had lots of rice for breakfast and lunch. I mentioned that I gained some weight a few days back as our cook shamelessly mentioned while everyone was around. So naturally, I just laughed but at the back of my mind I wanted to bitch slap her. (joke!)

So the other option to losing weight is through exercising.

Seriously, we have an exercise bike here at home but I never use it. Sure for the first few days it was here I used it 30 minutes a day, but after some time, I got bored and stopped. I want something that won’t bore me! Is there any? The reason I don’t do well with exercising is because continuous and repetitive activity for long periods of time bore me. So, I don’t enjoy it.

I was thinking of hip-hop abs perhaps? I don’t know, does it even work?

I weighed 97lbs 3 weeks ago, now I am down to 92. Five (5) lbs in 3 weeks? Not bad. My goal weight is 90lbs. Then I’ll stop dieting and focus on tightening my forever flabby tummy. It’s something we mom’s have difficulty in right? And the worse part is, its so hard to lose weight in that area. I’d lose weight but that problematic area stays the same. Maybe I should just check on new & improved exercise equipments. Any tips out there for tightening the tummy area?

I appreciate some tips! Ciao! Enjoy your Monday guys!
