My brother is already thirty-five years old, and he is so ready to settle down. Unfortunately, he has a lot of things to pay first like his motorcycle which helped him get through point A to B. I have already talked to him about certain things that he might need for the wedding. I already have a wedding gown which his girlfriend could borrow. We only need to worry about the reception, and of course, the bridesmaid dresses. He is also worried where are they going to live once they are married. They do not want to rent, but they also do not want to live with my parents. I hope he will figure it out soon because he surely is not getting any younger.
Healthy
Saturday, December 11, 2010
I think the healthiest I was when I was pregnant with Frankie and a little after that. Everyday I had to take pre-natal vitamins while I was pregnant with him and then took some multivitamins after that. It was the only thing keeping me strong. The long sleepless hours and having to take care of my husband as well was a struggle. That being said, I would not trade my experiences for the world. It was very tiring, but every time I see Frankie’s smile, I felt like the most blessed person in the entire world to have him in my arms.

Christmas Play

The first week of December was Frankie's first Christmas play. I was so happy that I was able to make arrangements with my teacher to let me take my final early, so I could be there for my son. He was very understanding and of course let me go. I wanted to invite the family, but I was afraid that it would be such a hassle. Thankfully, they were able to make it. Frankie was so delighted to see his cousins after the play.
I was nervous of a lot of things. I really did not know how to put together a lamb costume. Ryan and I spent going from store to store just trying to check what they have and try to put together something. We were given suggestions, but we wanted to do the short cut and check out the easiest we could do it because Ryan and I really do not have the time to do it because it was our final week. Well after trying to figure out something, we finally did it.
Frankie looked like he had fun during the play. I waved at him while he was up stage because I was scared that he might freak out with the amount of people that was watching. He was so happy to see his cousin Maddie with me, and he kept telling his teacher Ms. Jody that Maddie was there. He sang the songs that he practiced, and I think he did really well. We are so proud of him.

RV
Every time we go to my in-law’s house in Monee, I can’t help but catch my attention on an on sale RV. It has been there for a while and obviously nobody has bought it yet. I have always thought how awesome it would be to have one of those. We know someone who does camping every weekend by the lake. There is no hassle and they do not need to put a tent up because they could easily drive their RV, and they are there. I heard gas for those are very expensive, but the experiences will be awesome too. Of course, to own one of those would need a rv insurance too.

Enhancer
Wednesday, December 1, 2010
Whenever I watch a commercial about natural male enhancement, I couldn't help but smile. I thought why would someone want to enhance the size of what they have? Then, it made me realize that I will never know because I am not a male.
Some men are not happy with what they got. It is something that they take so much pride with. Thankfully, there are places online where they could read reviews about the most effective natural male enhancer. It makes it easier for them to get what works and not having to try each one of them.

Sweet
Our little Frankie was in the computer when he asked me to go to youtube. He likes watching Fievel from American Tail, but this time, I directed him to my sister Ging-ging's youtube account. He was very happy going through her account and listened to the songs. I was in this bedroom getting his bed ready when he called me. He showed me this drawing, and he said it was Ate Giging. I thought his Dada helped him because he was doing something right next to him, but he did not. I showed it to my sister, and she thought it was really sweet and cute. I thought so too.

Weight
It's been a while since I last check my weight. I know I shouldn't be surprised, but I was really surprised when I saw how much I weight last night. I am now twenty pounds heavier that what I should weigh based on my height. I am not upset anymore because I know I haven't been the best eater lately. Ryan and I has been going out a lot especially when we came from work.
The food at school are not the greatest either, so I really do not have any choice. I seldom make what I eat because I am always in a hurry and busy. I guess when things gets to worst, I will probably try one of those quick weight loss pills to shed some pounds. I don't know what had gotten to me. I have been really lazy, and I do not move as much as I used to.

Risks
In my health class, we were given a personal assessment where we get to trace our family history and the causes of death of my relatives especially my grandparents. I was so young when my grandparent's from my father's side passed away, and I wasn't sure what was the cause of death of my grandparents at my mother's side.
It was very informative, and it helped me realize my risk factors. I realize how important is to use all natural products in food versus the processed ones. It is also nice to detoxify yourself once in a while with all natural colon cleanse to get rid of the wastes that the body have.
I realize that I need to make some lifestyle changes because I am at risks for having type 2 diabetes or heart disease. I need to do something because I do not want to be that person ever again who has to poke herself three times a day.

Eight Hours
I was really exhausted last Monday. I had a Math final this morning, and I wanted to get ready with it last Monday but was not able to. I had so much to write for my blogs, so I decided to do that instead. I was literally in the library for eight hours. I got up once in a while to go to the bathroom, but I so disappointed because I was only half way done. I finished everything that I needed for my health class, so I do not have to worry about it on Tuesday.
Tuesday, I wanted to go to school right when they opened, but I had so many places that I wanted to be and errands to do. Unfortunately, I did not get to school until 1:00 p.m. The 4 hours I had was not enough for Math. I did not do anything when I got home because I wanted to get up really early this morning. Around 4:15 a.m. I got up to study again. I wasn't really behind, but there are just things that I needed to refresh myself again. I hope I did well in my Math final. It seems like it but who knows.

Invitation
Frankie was very excited when he got his first birthday invitation ever from his classmate. Of course, he has gotten invitations before, but this was different because his classmate actually handed it to him. He has been really looking forward for this birthday party and has been really excited about it.
I love getting invitations especially Christmas Party Invitations. We have gotten two invitations so far. I wish we could hold a Christmas party here at our house, but it is not just ready yet. I really love Christmas. It gives you the chance to be with your family and friends as you celebrate this joyous season.

Aging
I am starting to look really old. Blame it to the hustle and bustle of life. There are always problems and things to take care. We always need to work to pay for the bills and usually just have enough. Don't you just wish we could age gracefully? That would be really awesome. I wish winkles don't have to pop-up or those fine lines. Well, at least, there are some anti aging products that are out in the market today to help us from aging. It will help us defy the natural call of nature.

Christmas Three Up
Ryan kept telling me that we needed to get another tree. I have been telling him that the three we have is ok. Well, for someone like me who did not grow with a Christmas tree every year, the tree we have is perfect. It is very tall, and it almost touched our ceiling. Unfortunately, Ryan doesn't like it because it is so far apart. It has been in the garage for most of its life time, so of course, it gets parsed sometimes. It just needs to be evenly separated to fill the holes.
Frankie helped me put up the tree, ornaments, and the nativity set. I told him not to touch them and he has been really good with it. Well, he moved the nativity set characters once especially baby Jesus, but that was about it. I was just afraid that he will touch the glass ornaments, but he seems to be a responsible boy now. He is more concern about Santa getting to our house and leaving the presents under the tree.

Teachers
This semester was a little rough for me. I have teachers that are a little boring that sometimes I couldn't help myself but fall asleep. I stay up late all the time, and I usually do not get much sleep. I have this one teacher that her monotone voice was enough for me to fall asleep. Gone are the days when I needed sleeping pills just to be able to fall asleep.
I wish these teachers realize that students need variety of things to do, or we will all fall asleep. I do not know how many times I have fallen asleep in a class no matter how I try to stay up. Then again, it only shows that the teacher was boring.
