Rizal's Truths

I’m currently reading a book about our national hero, Dr. José Rizal. It’s called the First Filipino and the stories that were being told in the book are really surprising. Most of the facts have not been taught in school. I’ve learned new things about Rizal that were really interesting. We’ve known him as being the first eye surgeon in the country, having operated his mom from her cataract. Don’t you know that aside from this, there were even more facts that has been kept hidden from us? The truth behind his points of view regarding the “himagsikan”, the stories behind his travels, his family, the truth about his faith, and more. I think this book should be the new reference book in our school whether high school or college in studying about Rizal’s works and biography. Students will learn a lot and not just know him as the one being printed the face of a one peso coin.

Expecting!

Oh, no no no...Not me! It's my friend. I saw her baby shower photos which was held last Sunday. She looks so happy and pretty despite her big tummy. I’m so happy for her. They have been wed for I think more than 3 years already and at first she was so worried they won’t have a baby. They almost consulted an infertility doctor in their eagerness to have a baby. I told my friend that babies are gifts from God and they just have to wait for it to come. And true enough, after almost four years of waiting, here they are a picture of a happy and expecting parent to be. Photos of their baby shower shows how happy and excited they are, just like when we are first expecting. I can feel how excited they are. Babies really bring joy and that’s what it brought my friend and her husband. I wish her a normal and safe delivery.

The Biggest Loser Pinoy Edition

This Sunday starts the Philippine’s version of The Biggest Loser. A reality show where they will feature 10 big (huge) participants who will compete to be the biggest weight loser by the end of the show. It’s quite interesting. They will be going through a lot of challenging activities that will help them win the competition and achieve their goals without taking supplements like lipozene. Each contestant of course has his own story. I just hope that they will be able to lose weight because I’ve seen the contestants and they are really HUGE! So to know who will win, I guess I’ll watch this program.

My Pores

I was browsing my shots from my DSLR camera and it really does show everything. Even my pores can be seen, haha! I realized, I haven’t been taking care of my skin lately. Well, I don’t get pimples and acne so serious that I need to treat it with accutane. I’m one lucky girl who doesn’t get pimple, except when my period comes. My only problem now is my pores. My friend is suggesting diamond peel but as of the moment, I don’t have the budget to splurge on such vanities yet. So until that day comes (when I have the budget) I will just have to be content washing my face with my favorite facial cleanser.

Those Wants

Now that I’m not working in the corporate world, I sometimes miss getting paychecks every 15th and 30th of the month. Sometimes, I feel bad about it especially if I wanted to buy something I really want that’s not in my budget. Now that my husband is the only one earning and I have to wait until the end of the month for his salary, there are times that I wish I have a job that will give me fixed salary so even if it still days before payday, I can buy my wants using payday advances. But reality is, it’s different now. Instead of thinking about buying those wants I shake them off. I wait till my blogging earnings come and see if I can splurge a little bit for myself. If not, then I will just forget about it.
