No Diet

And so I thought I will loose weight during this trip but I was wrong as I will need the top 10 weight loss tips to get me back into shape before Jacobo’s birthday.

Every time hubby and I travels, we are always on the run that we only eat hotdogs from the hot dog stands that we see on the street as we always want to make the most of our time. But since we are travelling with my mom and our two kids this time, we really have to stop to grab a bite. Also, since we are staying with our friends during the entire leg of this trip, they always prepare either Filipino food or Chinese food (which always include rice) so we still have carbo overload.

But I guess we really need to eat as we need all the energy from the fatigue that we are getting from all this travelling.

Sickies

My kids getting sick is one of my biggest fears for this trip. I prayed hard but I guess fatigue, change of time zones and extreme weather condition can really take a toll on our body that is why my two kids got sick during our vacation.

First was Jacobo who got diarrhea with fever on our second day in New York. I really feel guilty and I regretted bringing my kids to this trip but thankfully, his fever was gone the next day.

Next was B during our stay in Canada. She got stomach flu that she vomits every time she drinks milk. She even have rashes and fever also.

I monitored their condition the whole night when they got sick. Thankfully I got a reliable thermometer which I loaded with good batteries which I got from the online store where I buy makita batteries so I was able to check their temperature round the clock.

We have four days left before we go back to Manila. I really enjoyed this trip and this quality time with my family but I am glad that we are finally going home, back to our comfort zone.

What Doximity Can Do

Do you suffer from migraine? Well if you do, you are probably taking Topamax. Topamax is a medicine use to treat migraine. It is also an anti convulsant use to treat epileptic patients. But what most of us don’t know is that it has been proven to increase the risk of causing birth defects when moms take this drug when they are expecting. Such birth defects can include cleft lip.

I have been doing some reading and I confirmed that there are a lot of victims caused by side effects from taking different medicines. It could be the fault of the manufacturer for failing to put additional information on the drugs that they are producing, it could also be the fault of the doctor who prescribed the medicine to the patient.

But if only physicians can have easy access to information such as this from the internet or by simply communicating with their colleagues, then chances of these kinds of problems will be lessen and this is the aim of the application Doximity.

Doximity is an application available on smart phones and even via Internet that lets a private network of physician consult with each other. They can do a lot of things with Doximity like check profile of a particular physician like Phillip Porch MD, send an instant message to a colleague, share information and many more.

With Doximity, doctors can communicate with each other faster and easily, which can lessen chances of committing medical mistakes.

@ 159 Pounds

159 Pounds

That is hubby’s weight when he weighed in as he joined their company’s Biggest Looser contest. I think they have more than a month to loose weight, but from the rate that hubby is loosing weight, I think he will be at the bottom of the biggest looser for this contest. LOL. Unless he tries to buy apidexin to help him loose weight fast.

But I will not be surprise if he will not win this contest as he did not actually change his eating habit or his lifestyle. He still eats the same amount of carbo (which is like minimum of 1 cup per meal) and he still does not go to the gym so I am sure he will still be at 150 pounds ++ on their final weigh in. LOL.

But he still has a month to loose weight and maybe the cash prize can help him get motivated.

Bags: Check
Lunch Box: Check
Books: Check
School Supplies: Check
soccer socks: Check
Rubber Shoes: Check

I am glad that even though we are away, things are all ready for B for her school opening. I was able to do some shopping here in the US for the school stuff that she needs like her bag, lunch box and juice bottle as well as the white rubber shoes that she needs for PE. And then my sister took care of enrolling her and buying the other school supplies from St Scholastica.

So hopefully B will be able to adjust to the time as soon as we get back as she only have one week (I think) to rest and recover from our travel before she goes back to school.

Busy June

June I think will be my busiest month. In fact I am so dreading June because I am sure I will all be stress out with everything that I will need to attend to this June:

• Jacobo’s First birthday: Jacobo will be turning one this coming June 21 and we will have a party with our friends and relatives on June 25. Almost everything is setup already but there are still a few minor details that I need to iron out before the party.
• Our Move to our new house. The seller of the house promised that we can move in by end of June. I am excited as this is our dream home but I realized that moving houses is such a big job especially now that we have a lot of stuff already from our old house. How I wish moving houses is as quick as building a home using mobile homes then I will not be this stress out.
• Start of school for B. I haven’t even shopped for her school supplies but I already asked a favor from my sister if she can go to B’s school on May 16, which is the schedule of enrolment, to enrol B for Sr. Prep
• Deadline for my Performance Appraisal. I was not able to finish my performance appraisal before I took a 3 week vacation leave, so it will be crunch time to beat the deadline when I return back from work come June 2.

So a lot of major things will happen to our family this June, so I hope I can get myself together to successfully accomplish everything

For Mother's Day

0 comments
Oh my gosh, I am so bad that I did not remember that it is Mother’s Day on Sunday. So how will you celebrate Mother’s Day?

Since we will be leaving on Saturday, we need to celebrate Mother’s Day in advance. I don’t need any fancy gift for my mom since she will be coming with us for our vacation and that is our Mother’s Day and Birthday gift for her. So I am planning to just order a bouquet of flowers for my mom, my grand mother and my two aunts. This is what I always do every mother’s day, I always give gifts to all the moms in my family as I know how special this day is for them so this is the perfect time to acknowledge all that they have been doing as a great mom.

Thankfully, I can still save even if I have to order for all the moms in my family by using the ProFlowers radio promo code that I got from Rush Limbaugh to Mike and Mike show. I also checked out the site of ProFlowers and they have other promo codes too that I can use.

I have to place my order today so the flowers will arrive in time before our flight on Saturday so we can still celebrate Mother’s Day even if we are away.

Looks like I will need acne treatment as I am sure to have acne breakouts again after this week because of stress. Just look at my schedule for this week:

Monday: Work and then I have to pick up the temp nanny that we will be getting from Sister Flor to help my mom take care of the kids while we are waiting for the return of our original nanny.
Tuesday: Work and then go to SM after work to do some shopping for the stuff that we will be need for our vacation.
Wednesday: Work and then go to Binondo to shop for Eng Bee Tin hopia for the friends that we will be visiting in the US.
Thursday: Work and then help hubby pack his stuff as he is scheduled to leave on Friday and if I still have time, I might go to a salon for hair cut and pedicure.
Friday: My last day of work so I am sure I will be very busy then I have to pack our stuff for our flight on Saturday.

But I am excited still as this is an ultimate dream vacation for our family.
