I ♥ Faces {At The Beach}

This is my second time entering the I ♥ Faces photo challenge.

This photo taken the first time my daughter went to the beach. The subject for this week is {at the beach}. I have a few photos that I've taken but I think this one has a pretty good appeal to it. They looks like they are bonding together.

Pushing 110!

Today, me and my little girl did some errands. And I was wearing a capri... size 5!!! It's a little bigger for my size but I just used a belt to make sure it's not going to fall. I usually wear a size 2 or 3... but it just feels good sometimes to wear something that I can actually breath. I am just dissappointed at myself because I been gaining all these weights... I should be loosing it to keep myself healthy. It keeps on flactuating. I have to learn how to eat small portion at a time. It just that whenever I eat rice I just keep on adding and adding some more. The next thing I know, I've eat the whole serving already. Well, maybe the whole serving is a bit exaggarated, but just to think about it makes me wonder if I can still lose the weights.

For some people 110 may not be that much but I am a tiny person and 110 is not ideal anymore. Before I got pregnant I was around 95lbs and by that time I was already feeling bloated. Yup... my sisters keeps telling me that I was getting fat... at 95lbs. I've always been skinny and our family has always been skinny. So for me to gain this much and not being able to lose it is such a headache.

I've considered a lot of stuff already to lose the weight: fat burners and diet pills, the good old exercise stuff. But I always end up not doing them. I think I need like a buddy that will push me to do the exercise and will serve as motivations. Back in the days... me and my friends goes to the gym but our goal that time was to be able to gain more weights. Now its the other way around. I used to always complain before of how difficult it is to gain weights and I have a friend that's a little chubby and she always says its losing the weight that's difficult. Now I share her dilemma.

I guess I just need the motivations and dedications to losing weight. That's all the it takes... oh and maybe some time for myself. With the incident that happen to me last week I really need to start doing something.

Contemplating.. a near death experience

It's been a while since the last time I wrote on my blog and I can honestly say that I have a lot of things that I want to write about but just cannot find the time. Like the trip that we had a couple of days ago going to memphis to pick up the truck that my father in law use to have and now my husband step mother has finally decided to give it to him, as well as some other stuff (mostly the nascar car collections that my father in law had) after five(5) years... she decided to give it to him. Don't ask me the reason... we have no idea. But my husband was very happy about that. My little girl is actually loving the idea of riding with her dad in the truck. The other day when she rode in the truck with her dad, the moment she step inside the house she said "mommy, I was riding on my grandfather's truck..." I thought that was absolutely amazing... and then she was talking about it again when we used the truck to go to my sister's house last wednesday. We were talking about something and all of sudden she just said "this is my grandfather's truck..." I thought my husband is going to cry.

But I did saw him cry that day... wednesday. Wednesday was a weird day... the previous night I was just so sad that when I was in bed some weird stuff just keep playing in my mind over and over again... and I was crying... my husband woke up and ask me why I was crying and I just didn't answer. I thought the things that I was crying about was just nonsense things... It was one of those nights that I feel homesick and silly things like does my husband really know the real me thing... It was awful...

So I was contemplating a lot of things lately... after the wednesday issue that we had when we were over at my sister's house. And right now I am seriously looking and doing my research on how to get in safe for myself and for my family. I want to be able to see my grandkids still and be able to live longer to be with my family... and perhaps even visit different places and meet some awesome people. And having said that, I saw some information about Fastin and how it helps people in loosing their weight. I really need to get in shape and take care of my health.

You see this is how it all started. Monday we head out early morning and drove to memphis to pick up the truck. We drove for about 7 hours...well my husband drove for a little less than 7 hours. So when we got there, him and his stepmother talk for while like nothing happened last five years ago... I may have to write the story about him and his family later on.. if I can find some time. That's going to be interesting... but anyway, after the brief conversation and hi and hellos, they headed their way back to Kentucky and we stop by to grab something to eat. By this time it was around 5 in the afternoon already and when we finished up, it was around 6 to 6:30. To make the story short, we drove for a couple of hours... stopping from time to time for it was my first time driving that far with my daughter. My husband was driving the truck so I have to drive with my daugther in the trailblazer.

We made it home Tuesday morning... and comes Wednesday...the dreaded wednesday... we headed to my sister's house so my husband can install the surround system in their house. We stop by Home Depot to pick up some supplies and when we were outside heading to the truck it hit me.. stomach pain and I was sweating cold... I really need to go to the bathroom. It was one of those thing that hit you all of a sudden and you just have to go. I have to endure the 15-20 minutes trip to my sister house... I feel like my husband was trying so slow that I can't even breath anymore. When we got to the house, first stop was the bathroom... I was puking and this time sweating more .... colder... my head is started to really hurt and my hands are feeling tingly...soon my legs started to feel tingly as well... this time I already took off some of my clothes for I was feeling really hot but my sweat was really cold. As the tingly sensation keeps getting closer to my shoulder I notice that my hands and legs are starting to cramp up.... getting frozen.. this time I called in my husband in the bathroom to help me... I was in a panicked mood already... but was still able to manage to tell my husband what to do... I keep telling him to massage my arm and hands so I can move them... but eventhough I know he was doing it I can't feel a thing.

My fingers were all frozen... frozen in such a way that it was position like I was trying to scratch somebody... same thing was happening to my toes and legs. I can't move them! By now my speech started to slur. I was thinking that my brain is not getting enough oxygen anymore.. we have to act fast if I want to live. I though I was having a heart attack.. maybe high blood... or sezure.. that can't be... I don't have any of those. This time, I was actually waiting for flashback of my life right before my eyes. But nothing... I was alert.. thnak God. I was still able to manage to tell my husband to call 911 and calm my daughter.. poor thing... she was crying...

No matter how my husband massage my arms and fingers... nothing is helping... the cramps was almost to my shoulder and the longer we wait I feel like I am not going to make it... I keep trying to calm myself down... hoping it will unfreeze my legs, toes, fingers and arms... nothing... finally when the paramedics came... it gives me that hope that I might be able to make it. And miracles do happen... Everything was normal when the paramedics left.. well let me take that back... my arms were still shaking when they left... I told them that I don't need to go to the hospital and that I just needed to rest. I did took a lot of rest for that night my arms and legs were sore... and I feel so weak...

Until now we have no idea of what was the cause of it. I am planning of seeing a doctor hopefully next week to make sure that it's not going to happen again. Comes thursday morning my husband was asking me what is our plan... just in case something happens again. Before I use to worry about having some asthma attack... but now that I had that frozen... cramps.. tingly thing.. I can honestly say that weird things happens to people...

Accessories for your vehicle

I don't know if this is the effect of Twilight the movie that after reading the series of book I now have an appreciation of cars... not just ordinary cars but sporty type of cars. I can actually hear the voice of my husband in my ears teasing me about my addiction to the story and the movie and books.

I'm a bit proud of myself actually that I can now recognize vehicles that I don't even have any liking before but is not taking some interests. Although I did like smaller type of vehicle like the Mia from Mazda.. the top down is really cute... I was telling my husband that we can get one for my daugther... like its going to last for atleast 13 more years.. Mind you my daugther is not even 3 years old and I am already planning fo what vehicle to give her.. Maybe will just give her the truck that we are getting from my husband stepmother... like that's going to last for 13 more years as well.

Although possibilities are endless. I was thinking also of maybe having my husband customize the car so it will look really nice. Maybe even add some led tail lights. My husband put some lighting on his van and it really looks good. I think that tail lights is really fierce and fashionable. The only thing that got me thinking though is that 13 years from now, there will be more advance technologies and more things that you can add to your vehicle. So much changes will be happening.

I guess we are just going to wait to get something for my daughter.. I think for now.. it should be my vehicle that we need to customize.

Something a woman need to have.

Okay, lets face it. Women in particular just love accessories, any type of accessories, specially jewelries. Most of the time, accessories enhance the way we look and there are times that we wear it for personal satisfaction.

There are those times that we wear them because it reminds us of someone or something in our lives. Like this heart pendant necklace that I saw online. I just love how it looks so pretty and sparkly. I wouldn't mind having one of this for myself or maybe even one for my daughter... and maybe she can pass it on to one of her children in the future. It will be like a heirloom for the next generation in my family.

Really love that idea... something to remember us by. Although I did have some jewelry that I want to pass on to my daughter before I pass away, hopefully she will keep it and maybe even pass it on to her children or grandchildren.

I was browsing online tonight and I came across this message

"Don’t Get Ripped Off… GET SLIM!"

and I thought, well it has a point. This is specially true with weightloss pills. With a bunch of weightloss pills popping everywhere, you asked yourself, so which one is it that will work for me. You can't take chances and try everything. That is just like the tagline that I just quoted. But, rather you want something that is proven and you will see result as well.

I am not an expert when it comes to this but I've done some readings and found some websites that offer information as well as feedback from consumers and experts. Sites that offers tips on which one that works as well as tips on maintain and keep the weight after using the weight loss pills.

One example of the website is called www.slimmingpillsreview.com. They offer information based on the following criteria:

1. Weight Loss Power
2. Speed of Results
3. Appetite Suppression
4. Long Term Results
5. Customer Results
6. Safety
7. Overall Value (how many pounds you will lose for each dollar you spend)

Take some time in reading the information. If you are using some weight loss pills right now or is planning of using one, this website is a great resources for added knowledge and information.

Are we out of time when it comes to planning?

Have you notice how time passed us by so fast? Specially when you have a lot of things that you need to do or that you have a child that you don't want to grow up... well... grow up in a way that they will stay as cuddly and loving as they are. Okay, I guess I am just getting a bit overwhelmed here. I just feel like there's so much to do and so little time. All of a sudden I am already in my 30's and my daughter is almost 3 years old, I can't believe it. I mean, I don't feel that old. I still believe that age is just a number.

Then again, it's already July, we lost half of the year already. This week is 4th of July and the next thing you know summer is done and school will start again. Oh, I just registered for my class this fall. It's probably one of the reason why I feel that time is flying so fast. I haven't even enjoyed the fullness of my vacation and here I am registering for class again. A

After the 4th of July celebration the next big holiday that I can think of is Halloween. Yup! If your a parent like me, Halloween is going to be a big thing for the kids. As early as today, you need to go ahead and check out some Halloween invitations specially if you are planning of having people for a party. Families tend to make an early planning for big occasions. We just can't afford to sit around and wait until somebody do it for us. Well, a lot of us can't afford that luxury anyway.

So since I was thinking of all of these holidays and how time flies, I surf a little bit and saw this cute invitation from Invitation Consultants. Really cute!



I might get me one of this. But I am not yet sure about what we are going to do for this occasion. Last year my little girl was dresses as a lady bug and she was really cute. This year I have no idea what I am going to get her. I never imagined that it takes a lot of planning as to what they will wear. It's a headache sometimes, but what can I do? I want for her to have lots of memories that she will be able to pass on her kids when it's her time to be a mom.

So what about you, what have you been planning lately?
