No energy to do anything

May 8, 2010 under Women Talk, pregnancy | no comment

It seems like forever since I last posted here. I haven’t have much energy to do anything the last couple of weeks, maybe it would change as I enter the 2nd trimester and that would be in a month. I do take vitamins but I don’t know…I just don’t feel like doing anything.

Maybe it’s the weather… it has been so hot lately, I feel so uneasy. Especially at night, even if our fan is on I still sweat like crazy. I don’t know if it this extra sweating have something to do with the pregnancy hormones.

Were you also this hot, when you were pregnant?

Women, let’s protect ourselves

I grew up in Manila and like many big cities, there are a lot of bad elements or in other words bad people around. When I was commuting from home to school and work, there were times that I couldn’t get home before dark and a pepper spray is what makes me feel safe when walking the dark streets.

I don’t have the pepperspray  anymore so I went online to look for one and came across this pink colored pepper spray, I like it. And the great thing is that the manufacturer of this cute pink self defense item, donates a portion (about .50 cents each) of the proceeds to the Nation Breast Cancer Foundation every quarter.

Woman’s bestfriend?

Feb 9, 2010 under Women Talk | no comment

They say that hair is the crowning glory of us ladies. Well if that’s the case then that means my best friend should not be diamonds. It should be the ceramic hair straightener. I remember back in my college days that every salon has it. Everyone grows there hair long enough to reach their backs so they can use it on their. In many local pageants, mastery of holding the iron is a must. Everyone considers the ceramic hair straightener as a holy weapon in bagging the title.

I loved watching beauty pageants. In fact I have joined several of them myself when I was a little girl. I didn’t always win though. Anyway I think pageants are fun but I’d rather just watch them now than join it myself.

My brother once told me about a pageant contestant that won as a runner up in their school pageant. I’ll tell you what talent she used to charm the crowd. She ate a live chicken. Yes you got it. She was an Amazon lady in the talent portion. Everyone was so surprise when she stepped on the stage and delivers the dialogs. It’s quite a talent to bag the title. Never the less, it’s the only unique talent they have seen and awarded her best talent.

Summer Fun!

Summer in our part of the world is fast approaching! And what better way to have something to look forward to than planning your wardrobe for frequently going out to enjoy the summer sun? It’s part of the fun of being a girl. Most boys (or men) couldn’t care less about how they look unless they are metro-sexual , but for us girls it’s a different thing. That’s why the perfect summer get-ups must be planned as early as now. Knowing the trends will help a lot, and the trends says it’s going to be hot pants, boy shorts and uber long socks.

Bohemian is also back in vogue, so you better start digging up those paisleys and chic accessories for your summer dress. Kitten heels seem to be making a come back, but with fun makeovers as seen in fashion shows. Summer equals the beach for many people, so planning our swimsuit is a must, as well. Monokinis are all the rage right now, but not everyone has the guts to wear them. And certainly not everyone has the body for a monokini. There’s still the one-shouldered bikinis, though. Not too flashy but is chic and trendy just the same. So plan that summer escapade now with family and friends. Your fab outfits are raring to go!
