I enjoyed resting in the hammock while in the resort. Good thing the ankle braces have helped to reduce the swelling when I slipped on my right the other day. I sprained my right ankle and walking made it difficult for me. It was fortunate that i recovered from it before our trip and pain have subside already. And so I had a great and relaxing vacation with my family! Glad it didn't ruined the sprain didn't ruin the trip at all.

Someone will travel the world!
Yes, that is me! Bought this book to inspire me to travel the world! Not sure if I can finish the whole 501 cities but just to go to 10 percent of it will already be an achievement of a lifetime. I have shared the book to the husband and we are both excited to conquer the world! :D If everything falls according to our plans, we will push through with our 10th year wedding anniversary trip. I'm excited! There are a number of cities from europe which are listed on this book. I am starting my research as early as now so we could make the most of the trip. I am taking down notes and even asking friends around. I better start planning our itinerary, checking accommodations and considering travel options either by plain, train or bus. Besides, we want to bag great deals and ensure that our trip budget will suffice.

Outdoor wedding...
Recently, I have been coordinating some outdoor event particularly wedding. I love outdoor wedding. The only set back of such is the heat of the sun. Of course ceiling fans are out of the way so just a regular stand fans will do. Look at this recent wedding we had last weekend, all groomsmen were wearing chuck taylor rubber shoes. So cool! Even the groom was wearing one too. It was a beautiful event with lots of do-it-yourself stuff from the bride and groom themselves.

Confidence...
I needed all confidence to be able to wear my swimsuits again. But I just did and have been proud of myself. Good thing, my crash diet and exercising for a week concentrating on lower ab workout actually paved the way for me. So far, our whole family is enjoying our quick getaway. It's rejuvenating to spend time with your family. I'm thankful for the blessings that we were able to do such. I'm wishing we could do more of this.

Just for a massage...
Since we are in the island, having a hair braid and henna tattoo are both popular activities. I almost wanted to try it even with my girls but I am afraid, tattoo removal creams won't work for us. I am sure the school admin of my kids will call my attention for such if my kids do go back to school on Monday with henna tattoo on their legs. So instead of such, we just opted for a whole body massage by the beach. It was a relaxing experience that even my kids enjoyed as well. We are just having a great time in the island!

Is this true?
I was in the salon early this morning when I came across the headline of the above magazine. I am a Katie Holmes fan and I feel saddened about the news. How I wish her losing weight is just attributed to taking some propionyl l carnitine, instead of some invasive drug depressants. But this could just be any gossip. I still heart the girl and her adorable daughter, Suri. It will be heart-breaking and I pity the little girl if the gossip about her momma is true. Oh well, hollywood news!

Body Oil
I use this oil whenever I have a home-service massage.
I got it from a bazaar in the south area. I love the smell and it doesn't feel sticky after the masseuse uses it. In fact, it treated some of my body acne in the past, especially those in my back. But I failed to get a contact number of the seller of this one. I wouldn't know where to find their store the next time. Darn! I should have requested for a calling card. Any leads?

VS Loot!
I suddenly need to know how to lose belly fat fast because of the above loots I got! Woot! Yes, VS stands for Victoria Secret! I am happy it arrived on time. Thanks for good friend for shopping for the girlfriends during the VS Panty Raid in the store. I was able to grab a great deal of $25 for 7 pieces. It is a real steal! I hope Victoria Secret could release another sale like this so I can order some more. Those are extremely expensive here. Now, I am ready for an island escapade. I am sure to bring along these new stuff with me.

Candy Buffet
This is a cool concept of offering favors to wedding guests. Candy buffet is becoming a popular option now for guests to partake during cocktail hour. From the last wedding we organized, a number of guests have actually flocked in the candy buffet table to enjoy it. It was definitely calorie-overload for most of them. I wouldn't be surprised if most of them will do some diet supplement reviews a day after, lol! Otherwise, they may also be considering to go to their dentist.

Bo Concept
This store never fails to amuse with all their display of modern furniture. So love their current location which was displayed in their store nearby. Husband and I were talking about our plans to acquire a new property. We are looking in the area closer to kid's school. We wanted of course convenience. Also, we wanted to build a bigger floor area. I guess after staying in our place after more than two years, we realized we have accumulated a number of stuff already. We now lack a space for storage so next time, I want to make sure to have a big storage room. Also, if we get blessed, I really want a pool this time. I hope all our dreams will come true. Dream big!

Oh Katie again!
Oh-la-la!
I'm drooling over these pictures...
So love Katie here with Chloe Paraty bag in different times of wearing it. I think I might need to consider cash advances so I can afford one. Not sure why, but I have certain fascination recently with shoulder bags. I love the comfort of just keeping my hands free especially if I'm with my kids in the mall but still look fashionable chic with a nice designer bag. It's also a perfect mate for travels so I won't have second thoughts in getting one like those of Katie. Problem now is that I do not have a moolah for such luxury! I promised the husband, I will be on purse ban this year! Hope i could resist not to get one.

For the girls...

The girls have been bugging me to get this one for them...
They saw one of this nintendo ds from their cousins so as the usual thing with kids, they also like to have their own. I wonder is it could be cheaper to order online or if I could just get it from any regular store here. What about the games? I am clueless of such. Are the games downloadable or do I still need to buy? But I must agree the color pink is so cute. Now, dilemma is also to get two for the girls as they could fight over it if I only get one. Aw! That could be expensive. Hope the girls can wait till I source out the best deal.

New Company...
The husband is moving to a new company by mid-February. It's for a good change. I hope this time won't be as much stressful as before so he could have time to actually eve go to the gym and relax a bit. He has a number of available jobs under his department and he is asking to recommend some candidates. I told him to even post online his requirement so he can possibly get possible applications. In fact, I told him he can even check application from his iPhone if he would actually load up some applications like that from monster.com.
