New Adventure ...
I have to say as I continue my juice fasting I am also learning a lot of things about food, myself and some household concerns. Of course my new discovery does not include tube bending at DFTCorp.com but I am happy that somehow I have the stamina to tackle different household chores. This is one of the benefits of my juice fasting. Because the veggies are giving me energy now I can do the cleaning. I even wake up early in the morning to juice my veggies. Then I have to clean up the mess after juicing then prepare breakfast for my little girl. You won’t believe it but I also can allot some time to exercise. I am praying that I can continue this routine. Who knows how much would I accomplish in our house, right?
Because I want my vegetables fresh for my juice I go to the grocery (Robinsons Supermarket) every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and in the market once a week. My reason for going to Rob during those days is because one of their staff told me that those days are the days that vegetables like celery, spinach, parsley are being delivered. On my first week, I went there on a Wednesday and I was so unhappy with the texture of the celery. I asked one of the staff if they have any more stocks but unfortunately they don’t. Maybe, the staff so my unhappy reaction that he told me to come during those days that I mentioned. Now, I am happy because everytime I go to Rob, I got new stocks of celery. Freshly delivered 
For so long now I feel that I haven’t achieved so much. I have been a go getter and achiever all my life but when I become a wife and mother I am happy being an audience to both my husband and daughter. I can say that somehow I have forgotten myself and that I just go with the flow. Because of this attitude I became lay back and lazy. At one point I was considering getting a degree online but I told myself I might stressed myself and become sick. So, I set aside that plan. Then this year, I was able to see myself now. And I realized its time to change. I needed to go the healthy way because I want to have more years with my family. It was hard but I am happy to say that I have somehow succeeded. In the past three weeks, I was able to eat healthy! That’s really a big accomplishment for someone who everyday life evolves in eating chocolate and drinking coke not to mention packs and packs of chips. I just wish I can continue this until April! That way I can go back to my ideal weight.
A Change ...
Three weeks ago I decided to change my lifestyle. I have been blogging about the changes that I have done in my health blog. I am so happy with what I have been doing and yes, with the way I change in my food preference I also have some changes in our household. Before, when you open our refrigerator you would see lots of processed foods, chocolate and 1.5 liters of coke. I am telling you that’s the view everyday. Now, I cannot even fit in all the veggies and fruits that I have bought as stock for three days. The husband is even encouraging me to buy a new double door refrigerator. Also, I no longer order in fastfood chains. I cooked every meal of my daughter and despite her protestation she is happy to eat. I do hope I won’t get tired of this lifestyle since I believe it’s the way to go so that I won’t be always sick and will be healthy enough to play with my daughter for a long period of time.
Scheduling ...
I was surprised when I look at the calenday. Exactly one month from now the husband would be here again! Yehey! It would be the moving up ceremony of our little girl and next school year she will be grade one. Oh, how fast time flies! I don’t know yet if the husband would be able to find some kelty backpacks for my nephew, if he won’t maybe I can look for it online. Since I saw that the husband would be here four weeks from now, I am a bit pressured when it comes to our scheduling. I don’t know what summer class would I enroll our little girl. Also, I still need to pay the balance for our trip. Yes, we are heading again to a beautiful island and I am so excited because I was able to book some activities for us that I know the husband would definitely enjoy. Hopefully everything will run smoothly as scheduled. Please Lord!
I have been complaining to the husband that I am really having a hard time in finishing everything up. I have lots of things to do but unfortunately I cannot find time to do them. You see, right now, all I can do in a day is to prepare my juice, exercise, cook for the little girl, and then later help her do her homework. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to find time to clean the house. Oh I can still do the laundry but cleaning not yet. And then I still have some work to do with the computer. The husband told me to right down every little task that I have. And guess what? I have not done it. lol! Seems like I am always rushing from one place to another. I have to slow down or my body will shut down. Rest, I must! So I will! See, even my writings is jumbled. Sigh!

Useful App ...
As a mom of a preschooler, I have been on the forefront when it comes to my daughter’s homework. I am always beside her when she answers her worksheet. Also, they always have a sheet that contains words which they are requested to practice reading. At this moment, they are reading words with ae, ee, long a etc. And when we read this numerous words my daughter would asked me to define each and one of them. Also some words are not familiar to me that I don’t know if I am pronouncing them right. So, what I did was to download the Merriam Webster apps. This really helps because it not only has definition it also pronounce the word. When my daughter saw me using it, she requested to used it too. But I told her no since I don’t want her to used shortcut.
What Laptop? ...
A friend of mine is asking me if Toshiba laptops are okay because she has toshiba coupons and would want to used them. I told them there are okay and I have not heard any negative feedback yet about them. But I also told her that buying a computer/laptop should be based on her need. Also she have to check the specifications. Right now, in our house I have a HP desktop, MacBook PRO, and a LENOVO netbook. My desktop is used for work, MacBook Pro for some video editing that I am experimenting (hopefully soon I can venture to developing application) and the LENOVO netbook since it has a defective keyboard is used for downloading. The desktop and netbook are my choice but the MacBook is a gift from the husband. And yes, before buying them I checked on their specs.
Free Calls ...
Today, in the small gathering of my fellow moms in school, we were talking about the different application they can used in there phone. The model of our phones varies. Most of them uses BlackBerry and Nokia. I think I am the only one using an iPhone, all of them are not familiar with VIBER. Of course, I would forever be grateful for this APP. Since we started using it our telephone bill has gone down tremendously. The husband no longer have to pay huge bill for his phone abroad while us on the other hand have no add on expenses on our landline and cellular phone. I was even able to lock my NDD and IDD. So, I am trying to promote this app to them but unfortunately as of this writing, VIBER for BB is still on the work. I don’t know for SYMBIAN. But I told them if they are planning to buy new phone, I would recommend either getting an iPhone or any ANDROID phone because of its extensive apps market.
