My Hubby wears contact lenses. He really finds it better wearing contact lenses than eye glasses. I couldn’t count anymore how many of my hubby’s eye glasses that were broken by our kids.

Anyways, while my Hubby was still getting used to put his lenses, there were a few times that they fell down on the floor. Then, we would ask the kids to help us look for it. When my kids asked him what fell down, Hubby just managed to say that it’s something for the eyes. Then, my almost 3 years old boy was babbling while looking at the floor, ” Appa’s eyes fell down? Where’s Appa’s eyes?” . LOL!!

In this aspect, eyeglasses or bifocal safety glasses are better because when they fall down, you get to see them immediately. But anyways, my Hubby is an expert in putting on his lenses now. He’s actually more comfortable with it compared to wearing his eyeglasses.

I’m kinda thinking whether to repost them again this year so, to remind me of some things.. but then, maybe not.

Anyways, back to my walking exercise, now that my kids are older, I don’t have an excuse to go on a walking exercise anymore since they’re no longer fit inside their stroller. If I go out with them, I’ll end up like going for a marathon as they will be running everywhere not minding the cars and motorbikes coming. So, I guess, I have to stick to doing exercise DVDs to keep me fit.

Matthew 7:7-8
‘Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.’

Barry never really believed that he’d lose weight. That was probably his problem. His heart was never in it. Whenever he got the least bit discouraged, he’d immediately give up. His friends tried to offer support, but Barry always came up with excuses why he should give up his diet. If we want to lose weight, we need to believe in ourselves. Self-doubt is a killer. If we lack faith in ourselves, then perhaps we can overcome it by the faith we have in God. God can fill us with a self-assurance that allows us to do almost anything we set our minds to. Push aside doubt. Be filled with the confidence of God.

Today’s thought: With God’s help, I’ll knock off a few pounds!

It has been almost 2 weeks since I haven’t had my coffee in the mornings and at night. I’m actually sticking to vegetable juice for breakfast. But you know what,  tonight I’ll be finishing up some online work and I need to sleep late. It’s not that I’m not used to sleeping late but it’s just that I feel so sleepy now. But on the other hand, I don’t think coffee has even any effect for me. In short, I’m tempted to drink a mug of the Vietnamese coffee from our fridge.

I think I will give in this time. Just for once. I feel drinking coffee will make me in the mood to do my online work. I have to work doubly hard now since I’m saving for something. No, I’m not saving for Rebecca Minkoff handbags now but I’m saving for a trip. So, off to the kitchen I go!

The rain was so heavy the other day and our kitchen started to get flooded. There’s some problem in the drainage in the house and so even if it rains heavily for an hour or two, then water will start to rise.

So after experiencing that twice in our 8 month stay in this house, Hubby and I were determined to move out and look for a new house. This house that we’re staying is quite cheap and even if the house is not new but we love our neighborhood. But we don’t want to always get scared of getting flooded and it’s quite difficult to always move the cabinets and stuff from the kitchen when heavy rains come.

So,yesterday Hubby talked to our house owner and told him of our reason for moving out. Then just this morning he called back and begged us to stay. He promised to do everything he can to fix everything. And true enough this afternoon, he came with a man who will do the repairs.  The man came with all his gadgets, clamps, shovel and all. Then, he also called up the district and reported the drainage in our neighborhood. Tomorrow, they will come back and try to fix the back of the kitchen while the maintenance personnel from the district will fix the whole neighborhood’s drainage.

Hmm.. that was such a fast move from our house owner. I just hope and pray that everything will be fixed and we won’t experience flooding in our kitchen anymore.

So, I downloaded a Bittorrent in our newly reformatted PC and also searched for some free torrents for Jillan Michael’s exercises. The download was too slow and I was wondering why it’s such since our connection has already been upgraded to 6MB. And only then, I found out the reason when I saw the virus alert from my PC. So, it seems the torrent that I downloaded contained some virus. Arrgghh!

We don’t have a good anti virus so, Hubby decided to reformat our PC again. Now, that everything is okay, I’m already quite hesitant to install the bitcomment and download the free torrents. Hmm.. What should I do?

If there’s one game that I got hooked to, it’ll be Zuma. I used to play this game when we were in the Philippines. This is my mom’s favorite game too.

Anyways, Zuma is a game that’s based on speed and alertness. You’ve got to be alert in shooting the balls with the same colors in order for them to disappear. The balls should not fall in the hole or else you’ll lose your life. If you have more time, you can also hit the gold coins when they appear so as to get bonus points. I normally don’t hit them anymore since I usually concentrate on the colored balls. But if they were real gold coins, I will surely take them and make them as my investments.

I’ve been coffee free for a week now!  Congratulations to me! I never thought I could ‘break away’ from coffee, my favorite drink aside from coke. I wanted to put Caffeine free at the title but I guess I can’t do that since I had a Coke yesterday.

So, for breakfast I still drink 100% vegetable juice and rolled oats on soya milk ( without sugar) . Even if my breakfast isn’t as tasty as before, but I like it because I know that it’s a very healthy breakfast.
