Few things inspires me to go beyond what is expected of me and to become the person I want to be. One of these, is a popular song by Celine Dion. I so like the lyrics and the melody of course. It sounds really inspiring. There are probably no days in the past few months at work that I don’t listen to it. Whenever I feel lethargic or I feel stressed out, I listen to it and take it to heart and it energizes me. It makes me energetic to go after my dreams again.

We only have limited time on earth and we should be using our time wisely by making use of it to fulfill our deepest desires and dreams. This will make our life more profitable and satisfactory. We shouldn’t wait for the time when our loved ones have to calculate the funeral costs for our deathbed. We should start dreaming and doing something about it today. There is no time to waste.

The Power of the Dream

Deep within each heart
There lies a magic spark
That lights the fire of our imagination
And since the dawn of man
The strenght of just “I can”
Has brought together people of all nations

There�s nothing ordinary
In the living of each day
There�s a special part
Every one of us will play

Feel the flame forever burn
Teaching lessons we must learn
To bring us closer to the power of the dream
As the world gives us its best
To stand apart from all the rest
It is the power of the dream that brings us here

Your mind will take you far
The rest is just pure heart
You�ll find your fate is all your own creation
Every boy and girl
As they come into this world
They bring the gift of hope and inspiration

Feel the flame forever burn
Teaching lessons we must learn
To bring us closer to the power of the dream
The world unites in hope and peace
We pray that it will always be
It is the power of the dream that brings us here

There�s so much strength in all of us
Every woman child and man
It�s the moment that you think you can�t
You�ll discover that you can

Feel the flame forever burn
Teaching lessons we must learn
To bring us closer to the power of the dream
The world unites in hope and peace
We pray that it will always be
It is the power of the dream that brings us here

Feel the flame forever burn
Teaching lessons we must learn
To bring us closer to the power of the dream
The world unites in hope and peace
We pray that it will always be
It is the power of the dream that brings us here

The power of the dream
The faith in things unseen
The courage to embrace your fear
No matter where you are
To reach for your own star
To realize the power of the dream

Allergies are common nowadays. For some people, some food can trigger their allergies. Allergies is really a burden. You don’t exactly know when it will strike you. If its some kind of food, you have to avoid that food and sometimes foods that never caused you allergies before could suddenly do so. I’d have trouble with allergies several times over the years and these are really serious ones. In most cases, I never knew that the food had mixtures of the foods that I need to avoid but was not that apparent. Few hours after eating, I would usually have a stomachache, and then I would feel hot and itchy all over. Then, my body will swell and turn red, it’s almost unbearable. I hope to learn more on how to deal with allergies. I just wish there is sort of an allergy bedding that heals allergy once you lay down on it. That would be a real big help.

Few blogs capture my attention. Those authors living fun, authentic and inspiring lives are usually the ones that capture me and I just couldn’t help  but keep coming back to their blogs. And today, I just discovered another great blog. I couldn’t find out who the author is, as there was no indication anywhere. Healthy Living Tips captured me because I learned a lot from it. As a young adult, turning 24 August this year, I am beginning to see the value of health more clearly than ever before. I am starting to take small steps towards living a happy and healthy lifestyle. Sure, it is so easy to take our health for granted and just go around the business of each single day doing tasks and projects and forgetting the needs of our bodies.

I highly suggest that you come visit the site and read the contents. You can find a lot of relevant articles. The author teaches us the importance of living a healthy lifestyle,  taking a break once and a while,  handling stress and pressures from work and obligations, living a balanced life, and being conscious of our daily habits that will have long term effects in our bodies. I love her suggestions and ideas and how simple she constructed them so everyone can relate. I’ll surely keep coming back to this site every now and then so I won’t forget that I need to take care of my body. This is my life and I owe to myself to be as healthy as I could.

Today my one goal is to go to the mall andreplace the dvd player with 300 plus games we bought yesterday. The dvd was not working okay. So, I need to go to the mall and have it replaced. I am planning to start a small business. I will have kids play computer games in our tv with the dvd player with games on it for only 1 peso per five minutes. That’s really cheap right? The house that we are renting is a very good spot for doing some small businesses such as selling. That’s why we have our sari-sari store. I’m hoping to finally get the working dvd player with games on it so I can start on this venture.

We’ve been waiting for the package sent by my sister from the New York, and finally it arrived after 2 months. There are still 2 big boxes to come but she said she hasn’t delivered them yet. This is the 2nd box she sent us. The first one was sent around last year. I am lucky for having such a generous sister. No wonder she’s blessed.I had to pick it up from Mandaue Time Republic forwarders. I paid almost 300 for the taxi back and forth our place. I also paid 2 of our boys neighbor to help me in transporting it from the road to our house. Sheila was also there to assist me.

We had a hard time locating their office and they were almost closing down when we arrived. Good thing, we came just in time. We were all so excited in checking out the items inside. I knew, my sister picked them so well and she chose the things that will really be of value to us. There were many many many kisses chocolates and other candies. As a result, our refrigerator is pregnant right now and is bulging a lot. I already gave some to my office mates when I arrived. There were 21 pieces of encyclopedia which my sister asked me to sell so I could keep the money. It was given by my uncle living in New York. However, I will not be selling it because me and my mom feel like we need to keep it so once we already have a house, we will be placing it in a book divider for my collection.

We are still making decisions right now. One of our options is to get a new house but there’s another plan which we might put first. My hubby will be applying abroad. We haven’t made any fix decisions yet, but I am sure, God will be there to guide us on what’s the best decision. I already checked the prices of the house, and the one nearest to where I work is quiet expensive. It’s more than a million. That’s quiet too much. We just need a simple brand new house, not something of luxury. But, I guess it’s how it is  because this is the city and we’re not somewhere in the province where everything is cheap. Anyway, let’s see what will happen next.

There were also gifts with names on them. I got a special pink wallet. I guess, I will be switching to a new wallet now. My wallet was bought only from Broadway but it lasted for almost 4 years already. I will surely be missing it if ever I will switch. There were also blouses and shirts. My baby had toys, few clothes since the rest will be in the second box, and she had a new white sandal shoes which is very elegant and nice. My hubby had a cap and a shirt.

I so love the goodies in there. There were fruit like goodies which are preserved. You know….the kind of things in America. Most of al, I love the canned peaches. I so longed to eat peaches but I don’t buy it because its quiet expensive. Good thing, she gave us 5 of them. I am so excited to eat them. There were also lots of big boxes of iced tea and oatmeal. We really had fun yesterday. I wasn’t tired and I even slept late because of it. Our house is a little messed up right now and I am hoping to tidy everything up later today or tomorrow, my day off. I only have one thing to worry after all the chocolate eating………..my tooth…Ewwww! Goodluck to me. Thanks to my sister Fritzie…Love you sis! Sorry peeps as I lost one of the chargeable of our camera, so I wasn’t able to take some photo. I’ll try to locate it later so I can take a picture of some of the goodies.

My co office worker is dealer of Avon and since then, I’ve been a regular customer of her. Avon is such a trusted brand that it’s one of the brands I really really depend compared to any other expensive brand. Their products are made of high quality that you could never go wrong. I buy products like underwear and intimate apparel, make up such as foundation, lipstick, blush on etc. I also love their personally made products every now and then such as their back supporter that corrects a person’s posture. It’s very affordable, I guess, it was more than 300 pesos only. If they have uppababy vista, i would surely buy from them because I will be guaranteed of the high quality of the product and I don’t have to worry if it will be demaged in a few months or so.

While reading some accutane reviews, I stumbled on animetric’s site and learned she’s having an anniversary contest where she’s giving away her favorite things. Her prizes are really great things, but the one I wanted to have is the neutrogena wave starter kit. It’s been quiet a while since I desired to have it. I first read it in Jennie’s blog and I figured out it would really be perfect to clear out my face and cleanse it well every day after putting on some powder and foundation on it daily. But, I am hesitant to join because there are a lot of entries already and I wonder if she would ever pick me up as a winner. I still have to decide whether I want to join or not.

The responsibilities of a woman nowadays are so vast and heavy that a lot of women are suffering from stress and other related diseases. It is not easy to be a woman. We are expected to perform in all areas of our lives. We are expected to work to help the family financially. We are expected to be great moms. But, the hardest part yet the most rewarding, is we are expecte to be great wives. Our hands are always full in most days. We wanted to stop, pause, relax, take a break and rest even for a minutes of our every day, but most of the time we cannot afford to do so. The baby is crying and wanting our attention. Then, there’s deadlines in our writing projects in our blogs. And here comes our husband who just came from work and very much needing our care and attention. All of these, we have to do as perfectly as we could. Some mothers/wives don’t even need best weight loss supplements to get slimmer. Well, only two things happen. They don’t get to take care of themselves anymore and they end up swelling with all those bulges or they end up losing weight from all the stress. I know every woman can relate, but still…. there’s nothing else more rewarding than being a woman. The things we do, are things that keep the whole world sane. I salute every woman out there trying to make everything in their family running as smooth as possible.

We are planning to have my hubby work in a yacht. We already know the process and the things we need to do but we are still waiting for the end of the hubby’s contract with a building company where he works as a technician. I was the one who first found out about this job and initially I was the one who wanted to apply. But, it seems like I can’t leave my daughter here behind and I already have a stable high paying job which is also something I just can’t let go that easily. I would love to explore the world, and work with the ocean view, but there are things I have to consider as well. I thought, that if I would be the one to apply, it would be a lot easier for me to get in cause I won’t have a hard time with the interview. We are still on the planning process, and we are still deciding on the things we will do next that has something to do with our future. I hope….to make the right decisions, and stand up for it no matter what. I know, God has  a good plan for our lives and I do trust all my dreams upon Him.  I know no amount of relacore reviews can make me rich. I need to do something else for our future.

As of now, I really really need to save as much as I can. The hubby’s contractual work will end soon as the building of Hilton hotel near SM is almost finished. Good thing he now has a one year background as an electrician. It would be a plus when applying abroad. However, I haven’t gotten into saving much as of this time and I knew I really needed to save save save save because he won’t have work for a time while he will be applying abroad and for sure that will cost us some money. Oh! God! Please help me save……………..
