I have been eating a lot lately. Sometimes, I do even when not hungry but just plain bored. And now, I could feel the consequences, aka added pounds.

For one, I have no motivation to lose weight. No more swimming vacation to go to. Second, I noticed that I’ve been craving for soda more often than ever. Hubby and I have been planning to go back to the gym. It’s been years that I last used an elliptical or treadmill. If only, the gym could be more inviting than the comforts of our bed.

Just give me another month. I’ll start July 1st. No promises, though.

I was looking for the perfect photo, at least for my eyes. It shouldn’t be any photo that I myself took. It should be something that I admire elsewhere. It took me a while before finding one.

Only then, that I realized what my criteria are. I realized that I love pictures that are:
1. Candid – I like that the people aren’t looking into the camera
2. Family members or friends on it – better if they are busy with something like playing, talking with facial expressions or laughing or even crying
3. Colorful – it could be the blue skies, or even a white sleep number bed that is in the pictures. better yet, red or yellow shirt the subjects are wearing.
4. Clear, not noisy/grainy

Now, I need to know how to achieve my ideal photos myself.

An officemate decided to move on to another career. I was chosen to carry on whatever application-related role she will be leaving. And this week is the last of our transition.

While we were on it, we discover that we can download and use CS4. She tried installing the trial version just to check if she has enough computer memory to run such program. You see, aside from our transition, we sort of taught each other some other things. E.g. she taught me on how to use masking for my scrap pages while I taught her simple camera settings.

I’d say I learned a lot this week.

I know people who have finished college but still feel they are in the wrong field. For some who couldn’t afford it then and could even afford not to work now, would want to finish a degree even just for self-fulfillment.

Now, it is so easy to finish a second degree or even a Master’s degree! There’s are online education degree programs at Capella University, an accredited university. You can study at your own free time and at your own pace! They have scholarships and grants to qualified applicants. Browse the site now for programs either by degree or by profession.

This weekend is so unpredictable. Hahaha.

First, husband and his team mates will have an outing. Husband says if they will stay overnight, he can’t bring me and BG along. But if it is just a day trip, my daughter and I could come. So there, that’s one possibility.

Second, if it is indeed an overnight thing, BG and I will attend a swimming party instead. It is a birthday celebration of her cousin, a daughter of hubby’s cousin. Although we’re not sure how we will get there.

Third, a mexican night with friends. This one I think BG and I will surely attend. Unless my daughter gets too tired from swimming or from being out with daddy and mommy the whole day (possibilities 1 & 2)

I sure hope even just one of these three gets realized.

Have you seen it? You probably have. But I’m posting anyway, obviously from Perez Hilton.

Yes, drool… and get impatient.

I must admit I didn’t read the books. I saw the first movie and I can’t wait to watch the next. You watch and you just can’t help but fall madly in love again.

Going to a shower party, baptismal party, or a first birthday party? Or you simply want something for your baby? Why don’t you buy baby gifts?

I stumbled on this cute site, the nest shop where I saw cute Pajama sets, ultra nice brag tags, tub toys and so much more! It is so easy to shop. Everything is so neatly categorized. Categories include nap time, meal time and bath time among others. So many baby needs, you can find here!

And for photo addict moms like me, you can find tons of different frames and albums on the site too!

From the time we were deciding which SLR to buy, I’ve been blogging that we prefer Nikon over Canon.

Would it be such a crazy idea if we sell our Canon 450d with kit lens and 2 other Canon lenses to buy a brand new (but older model) Nikon d80?

This had been running through my mind, which is why I’ve been contemplating whether to buy the Canon version of my dream lens, or just the Sigma version. At least, I still could use it if in case we switch to Nikon. Sigh.

Last Saturday, husband was too tired to drive all the way back to the city after their basketball game. So we decided to stay for the night. The next day, I woke up early and started thinking about the family brunch.

I thought of Sonya’s but then, hubby eats veggies but will always want meat to go with it. Plus our daughter isn’t so much of a veggie eater too. And so we went to Bag of beans. Nice a bad second choice, though.

Photos of breakfast foods are both out of focus because I was too hungry not to dive in.

The company that I currently work for offers their employees stock options. In my opinion, this is a win-win situation. The employees advance their investment portfolios while the company is assured the employees work well to make the stocks go up the market.

Just the other night, we were watching “dirt” on cable. It was an old episode where in the actress named Milan Carlton, who had so much similarities with Paris Hilton. There was a scene where the actress called a press conference all prim and proper, total opposite of the sexy outfits she usually wear on her wild night outs. These are the works of a crisis PR person.

This particular scene was what I remembered when I saw Katrina Halili on TV. She was filing a suit against Hayden Kho, who allegedly videotaped them while doing the deed. According to the news, whether Hayden circulated the video clips or not, he should be sued for taping his victims / ex-girlfriends without their knowledge and consent. Katrina was, when she filed the suit, all covered up speaking softly and crying. Not that I’m saying that the feelings were fake, it’s the get-up I was referrring to. This is the reason why you pay a crisis PR person, to make you look good and to get the sympathy of the people.

Anyway, these videos have created so much stir that now people are dashing to Quiapo just to get hold of the latest Pinay Scandal DVD. So far, there are other two victims/ex-girlfriends who had been taped while doing the deed with the doctor.

As you know, we went to Tagaytay Highlands last Saturday. After going to the Animal Farm, we went to the sports plaza for the daddies’ basketball game.

Yes, I’ll admit, and I’m sure you knew, that I was sweating profusely inside the court. I kept going back and forth the powder room because I can’t decide whether to take off the blouse and just go with the sando or not.

Same reason why my daughter kept going back to the (air-conditioned) Wii room instead of cheering for her dad, she can’t bear the heat.

Sharing some photos:

Daddies playing catch, oops, I meant, basketball.

My daughter busy eating.

That’s me on the background trying to get in the frame/picture. Hahaha.

The beautiful mommy bloggers/photographers.

I know I promised lots of photos but like I said I was sweating and felt sticky the whole time so I can’t take pictures as much as I planned to, can’t even fully take care of BG. Sigh.

Oh well. Charged to experience.

I am swamped with things to do today. Glad that I’ve crossed some off my list by noon. I’m also working on Asia shift (instead of EMEA shift) today to make sure I have time later tonight to prepare for tomorrow’s outing. Unlike most of the mommies who are going, I haven’t packed a thing for tomorrow yet. I would rather spend more time packing the SLR than my sexy bra sets. I’ll bring my “wholesome” swimwear though but I doubt that I’ll swim.

What I will be doing for sure is take a lot of pictures… and have FUN!!! Hope everything goes well, and that my husband and daughter will have fun as much as I will. I hope it doesn’t rain. Keeping my fingers crossed.
