One of the things I truly enjoyed when I was in high school were the backyard campings we had in our school. We started having them in first year until our junior year. It was 3 nights of both fun and hard work. The hard work was actually months before the camping itself because we had to start planning it as soon as school started. We were in team patrols and each team had to gather enough bamboos to create make shift pieces of furniture. Our weekends were spent going around town asking for bamboos from relatives and friends then making tables, chairs, etc to use for the 3-day camping. The tents we used then were not the fancy pop-up tents we now have. They were more like tarps that we had to pitch ourselves. We didn't have sleeping bags to sleep on as well instead we had some more tarps and sacks to lay on the ground that served as our beds and mattresses for the duration of the camping. We also brought our own blankets to keep us warm during the night. We also had to cook our o...

...and my favorite expression nowadays....really??? It surely doesn't feel like it's long at all. Again, that's another difference I have with those who hold regular 8-5 jobs. My weekend was spent working....for the most part anyway. Obviously, it was spent at home then, eh? Today, which is a holiday is back to normal to us. Hubby is at work probably for half the day while I'm here typing away. The little one is doing an activity in one of her books. Holiday? Not for us. Am I complaining? Not really. Like what one friend said [hi Ate Beng!], being busy means we're blessed...and I think so, too. I'm taking it easy today though. I'm working but no pressure. I can stop anytime...it's really up to me. Maybe I'll stop when the hubs gets home from work which is anytime now. In the meantime, I'm going to spend my time productively. Hmm....watch some TV maybe? Have a good week everyone! Make every minute count!

Honestly, I didn't even know what this was until a day before it was supposed to happen. It's another end of the world 'prophecy'. That's all I know about it and some bits and pieces that I read online. The person who predicted this 'rapture' is now saying that he miscalculated and that the REAL end of the world is in October of this year. Oh c'mon! One thing I don't understand is how people can buy something like this. When I say 'buy'...I mean the whole nine yards. I read that a believer actually spent his life savings to spread the word since he would no longer need it after May 21. I hope he has some kind of a job to keep him alive until the next end of the world on October 21, 2011 . Another person maxed out his credit cards and took a trip thinking he won't have to pay it off since the world is [was] ending last Saturday. TOINK!!!! There are a lot more other stories on how some people were taken by this 'rapture'. I have no ...

Tonight is a night of finales on some of the popular shows on TV. One of the shows I don’t really watch, the other 2 I watch in bits and pieces…Dancing with the Stars is the former while Glee and American Idol are the latter. Even if these 3 shows are ending for this season, fans don’t have to wait for next season to see them. I believe all 2 of these 3 shows will have concerts/shows coming up in some major cities across the country. American Idol Tickets as well as Dancing with the Stars Tickets are now available for purchase [along with other concert tickets like Britney Spears Tickets ] for those who still haven’t had enough of the contestants in these 2 competition shows on TV. If our little one will get her way, I’m pretty sure she’d choose a Glee concert over those 2 hands down. I wouldn’t mind watching any of these 2 shows while they’re on the road but if given the chance I would rather buy me some Cirque Du Soleil Tickets instead. I heard from someone who was able to catch t...

Sorta...I don't want to fight them but they're eating my blackberries! They're not playing fair either because they get them before they're ripe enough to eat [by me anyway]. One more thing...they're cute birds - cardinals so I tend to watch them instead of shooing them away whenever they get close to the bushes. Yesterday, I picked a few berries before they can get to them. A few minutes later one bird came and landed under one of the bushes where the berries I picked were. The bird looked confused while looking around. It seemed to be wondering where the berries went. Teee heee....I pulled one on them. Hubby put some kind of a net over the bushes. The birds don't get to the ones on top now but they can still get to the ones at the lower part...and the almost ripe ones are there. Just this morning while I was having breakfast I caught one jumping and getting one berry. It stayed there for a few with a berry in its beak...as if mocking ME! So I just tapped on th...

I think, anyway. I almost lost the motivation last week because I thought my hard work a.k.a. exercising regularly is not paying off. I almost stopped because I felt like instead of losing the weight, I'm actually gaining. Not so according to some of my clothes. Yep, like I mentioned in my previous post I actually fit in some of my old clothes that I haven't worn in years. I thought I would have to resort to lipozene or some other type of quick weight loss pills to fit into those clothes but I may be wrong. I just have to work hard to get to my goal of not really losing but trimming down my weight. I am hoping to stay within the range of my current weight. I want the fat gone as much as possible and be replaced with muscles in its place. That's always been my aim. I just didn't have the motivation to stick to exercising before. I would start then stop without really seeing anything come out of it. This time around, I've been on it for the last 4 months, almost 5 mo...

Exciting??? A little bit. While going through my old clothes over the weekend, I came across a dress that a good friend gave me a few years ago as a Christmas present. I tried it on when I first got it but I didn't think it fit me...it felt tight. So I put it away, tag and all. On a whim, I tried to put it on and what do you know...it FITS! It's a bit tight in some places but I was able to put it on without the usual fuss when I put on my skinny jeans. Ha! I asked the little one to take a picture of me with wearing it so I can send it to my friend who gave it to me some 6 years ago. My friend was very shocked. Not only because I seem to have lost some weight but that she gained the weight I lost...and then some...and she's not a happy camper right now since she seems to be gaining some more. She said she's been reading some oxyelite pro reviews online to see if it will be a good idea for her to try it. She works a full time job and her husband has a business which she ...
