Pink Netbook

I really would like to take my laptop to work. There are times when I have so much to do and I have nothing to do during my breaks and lunch. I really don’t like wasting my time. Unfortunately, my laptop is a little heavy and bulky. I want a little laptop that also serves its purpose especially when I write a lot. I am looking at one of these netbooks from buy.com. What I like about netbooks is they are light that makes them very portable, energy efficient and most of all affordable. It would be nice to have for school and when I travel back to the Philippines. The pink netbook below is such a cutie.

Doing Something About It

Around noon Papa asked me what I want to have for dinner. I answered anything. He checked the freezer and found some chicken and he made a Filipino dish called “guisado” for dinner from scratch. We are now waiting for the rice to cook and we should be sharing dinner at any minute.

I love everything that he makes for all of us. Unfortunately, it does show in my body. Instead of trying to lose weight I have been gaining and gaining. Before he came here in the US, I used to crave for my mom’s cooking and some Filipino dishes. I usually find myself on those Filipino restaurants and take out places just to get a taste of Filipino meals because I don’t know how to cook. If I want to lose weight before going home next year, I really need to do something. Consumer best deals has a list of best weight loss pills that are in the market today. I might find something that will be perfect for me.

Found The Place

I have found a place where we can all go and do apple picking, and I promised Papa and Frankie that it has to be after my midterm because that weekend is when I am off. For the six years that I have been here, I have never been into one. We kept planning but never happened. This time I am the one organizing so we should be able to push this through. I just need to make sure that I know how to get there in case Ryan couldn't make it with us. He usually works over time every Saturday and I like going places on Saturdays so that I have a full Sunday rest before working again. Hopefully, we will be able to push through this plan this time.

Comfy Looking Naot Shoes

I don’t know anything about shoes before I started working over my department now. All I know is if it is on clearance and doesn’t look that bad then I usually get a pair. Sometimes you really have to pay for the price though. If you buy it cheap, chances are it is not going to last long. I been there and done that but I never learned. I still keep on buying cheap shoes hoping that it will last me long this time but never did. I could have saved all the money I wasted and get myself a nice one. I am currently looking for a nice comfortable pair of shoes for work. It has to be a little dressy too but something that would not kill my feet because I am on my feet all the time. Trust me I am on a look-out all the time and tried a few pairs but nothing that I like; although I really like a pair that I found online. Those Naot shoes look really comfortable and something that would fit in our casual attire for work. I may have to get a pair. There is no sales tax for the shoes plus free shipping on orders over $60.00.

Fall

I can’t believe how summer went by so fast. I guess when you are very busy; the days just seem to fly by. I can feel the coldness of the morning breeze every time I go to work early. We used to use the ceiling fan overnight even that we don’t need anymore. Soon it is going to be really cold outside. I have adopted the cold weather very well. Although it is not my favorite time of the year but I learned to deal with it. I am a little concern with Papa because this will be his second winter here in the US. I wanted him to feel very comfortable so I want to get him his own electric blanket so I don’t have to stuff him with tons of comforter just to keep him warm. Hopefully this year is not going to be that and we can still enjoy outside even if it is winter.

The Hardest Day - Tuesdays

Tuesdays is definitely my hardest day. I have requested Tuesday to be scheduled only until 3:00 p.m. because I have a class at 4:00 p.m. but because we have a truck every Monday it makes it harder for them not to schedule me on Tuesdays. I really don't mind if I am off that weekend but if I am not it makes it a long drag. Papa usually packs my lunch and heavy snack so I have something to eat in between classes. I have classes from 4:00 p.m. until 9:50 p.m. It is almost 3 hours every class. I usually work from 7:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. then go straight to school. I haven't fall asleep though. They are both very interesting to me that I sometimes look forward being with class if I am all ready of course. When I come home, Papa also waits for me and we eat dinner together. Mid-term is already next week and it fall not on my weekend off. I always hate it. Projects are always when I don't have the time to do them. Hanging in there still.

Cravings

I worked late last night. I have been asking my boss if they can occasionally give me some nights to close even if we never close in shoes so that I can get some sleep. When I close I don't have to be there until 2:00 p.m. so it gives me enough time to sleep over or do school works that need to be done. After I work last night, I was trying to decide whether to go to Jewel or not. I wasn't sure what time they closed. I was really craving for some cookies and something sweet so I went for it. Thankfully they were open till 12:00 midnight and got some cookies, a chocolate and a little cake. I don't know what happened but I was having a little sugar rush. While in the car I was munching the oatmeal cookies already. I must have eaten 3 before I got home. There goes my losing weight.

Candle Sconces

We are always finding new ways to beautify our house in an inexpensive way. It is our walls in the hallway and in the living room that I want to do something. It looks so bare and unattractive. I have hanged a few picture frames but I am thinking of adding wall candle sconces. With the correct placement it would really add a nice look to your house. I found these beautiful wall candle sconces at Candlelightdesigns.com. You will be surprised with their beautiful selections of candle holders and sconces. Plus if you buy a hundred dollar more, shipping is on them. You should check them out.

Precor Elliptical

When I was younger, the more stressed I was, the easier it was for me to lose weight. That was why when I was in college I was so skinny because when I had a lot of things in my mind, I have the tendency not to eat. Give me 4 days with stress and I can easily shed one or two pounds. It is a different story now that I am a little older. The weight seems to stay a little longer even if how much stress I have to deal. I noticed that the more I am stressed the more I want to eat.

Who doesn’t want to be fit, right? Everyone wants to be healthy but that seems to be very hard to accomplish with all things that we mature individual are facing now. We have to work, take care of the family and some of us go to school too. Those alone time is a thing in the past when you have a family. Another option of trying to shed some pounds is by staying home and working out. Having a Precor elliptical might be helpful. It is also loaded with a lot of functionality to help you lose the weight and pack those muscles at the convenience of your home.

Major Project

I have a major project coming up in one of my classes and I am so excited because I will be working with Papa. It will be a collage with 30 plus photos in it to create a beautiful work of art. I have not decided if I will go for an inanimate object, people or nature but mostly I would go for nature. I need to find the perfect place to take it. Monee Reservoir will be one and Thorn Creek which is a little close to us will also be another option. As with people, it could be on dad's birthday party but with people it has to be like they are moving so it is a little bit complicated than just object and landscape. So we will see. Papa wants to start with it already on Friday. We may have to stop there for a little bit and then I can go on with my stuff for school. I can't wait for the outcome of it. I will surely take some pictures.

Upgrade

It is so funny to hear Ryan complains about his computer in the bedroom. I usually stay in the kitchen with my laptop and he is in papa’s room with this computer and we share the internet. My internet is super fast while his is very slow. He knows that he needs to upgrade and get a bigger memory for his computer but he has been putting it off. I am more amused when he is bidding on something online and with just a few minutes left, his computer starts lagging and I can hear him scream in the kitchen. I usually tell him to buy memory for his desktop computer already. I am sure he will get excited if I tell him that he can buy it from buy.com at a very affordable price plus free shipping. He needs that computer for school and he needs to upgrade the memory.

Acne

I don’t think my face will ever clear up with all the acne and the acne scars I have. I have these for the longest time and it takes so much space on my face that it looks so bad. I usually hide my face with a handkerchief when it gets worst. Plus my face can get very oily and it attracts so much dust and as a result a lot of acne. I have tried almost everything. I even tried those acne treatments that some of my friends and family member used but to no avail. It is so hard to rely on just about anything I see in the commercial or what I have read. I want a website that tells me everything without having to hold back and that is what I found at Getacnetreatments.com. Just the information I need for the best acne treatments out there. I better start reading. Who knows this might work for me.

Tenses

I have assigned this day to just basically write. I can't believe how many stuff I got to do but that it expected of course with the three classes I am in. So far they have been good. I already had quizzes and weekly assignments to pass. All perfect in my one class but not so perfect in my English class. I can't believe how much stuff I need to watch on while writing. I did well in others but it seems like it is the past tense and present tense that I am having a problem with. I had to laugh when I got the paper back because how I could I ever let it slip. I wasn't too mindful of the tenses that I was doing to it some but not to all of them. Now I know and I will try to be mindful next time I write.
