LO167 Matthew Things I Love About You, originally uploaded by aggietha.
Layout scrap share time!
This is one of the four layouts I was able to make during my restdays. This is the second page of the mini album Im trying to finish up in time for valentine’s day - Im talking about 4-5 pages here. Ive done Edil’s page too!
Seriously, the first month of the year is ending and I have not even gotten back on track on losing weight or even trying to be healthy - I drink coke like water and absolutely have no control over sweets. I think I need help. I watched Oprah a few days ago and they featured free hoodia. It is a natural supplement that has no known side effects, and contains a molecule that fools your brain into believing you are full - boy, do I need that! I always seem to think Im hungry all the time! Natural Health Certified Hoodia has helped thousands of people – all over the world – get control of their hunger and lose weight, without the struggle and torture of dieting.
The power of Hoodia was first uncovered in the early 1960’s when a student at South Africa’s National Scientific Laboratory (CSIR) was studying native foods and plants used by the San Tribe. What would come next was 30 years of research and experimentation resulting in the discovery of “the miracle molecule” in Hoodia responsible for taking hunger away.
Scientists have been able to isolate a molecule in the Hoodia plant that does not appear anywhere else in nature. It is believed that this molecule may hold the key to the problem of obesity throughout the world.
Every Batch of Hoodia is Independently Tested and Certified to be 100% Pure Hoodia Gordonii - a cactus found in the South African desert.
Hmm, this sounds interesting. But is there truly a medicine that will allow you to lose weight without some sort of mind control and discipline within the person? I always think weight loss is a battle of determination, discipline and perseverance, and a total lifestyle change. How long do I need to take this medicine so that I cna trick myself into feeling full all the time? Once I drop it, will my hunger pangs go back? Despite the claims of it being all natural, for me, all natural means a healthy diet and healthy lifestyle.
Don’t you agree?
Let’s see:
What have I done at home during my restdays?
1. Sit in front of the PC.
2. Scrap
3. Eat.
4. Scrap some more.
5. Take pictures.
6. Play with the family.
7. Catch up with quality time with Edil ;).
Good times.
Now back to the grind and back to surfing the web again! LOL
I have another web site gem! We are so much into the internet nowadays that Edil has cancelled out a magazine subscription we have since he reasoned you can find everything in Google already, Well, I recently stumbled upon this site: Techzoogle. Techzoogle is a new site tailored to the latest technology, trends, gadgets, computer and software. They pride ourselves by reporting and reviewing products and sites in a user-friendly and non technical way.
Im devouring all the information they have about the latest gadgets and for once I am not stumped because I can understand what they are saying! Not much technical jargon going on there, which is nice! Of course, Edil is reading up on how to further upgrade our computer. We will have free money once we enroll Matthew to school so maybe we can afford an upgrade.
So this year will be the year Im going to be getting out of debt. We have cleared out my credit cards last year, with the exception of one. We do not pay for home insurance nor mortgages so it does not take a huge amount of our pay every month. I availed of secured loans but they are going to be paid in full by December. We are starting to build our current accounts right now and decided to save so we can open up a dollar account by next month. We have realized that money should not control the way we live our lives, we should be the one controlling it. So here are the baby steps we are taking to finally be free of it 
Hopefully, it will stay the same all throughout 2007.
Im going to try this new web statistics -Clicky Web Statistics -tool out!
Check it out!
From their site:
Have you ever wondered who actually visits your web site and just what exactly it is that they do on it? Existing solutions are nice when you want a general picture, but what if you wanted to track individual users, to see where they came from, what they did, and how long they stuck around? Clicky is your solution! It’s designed for blogs but works great with any web site!
January is really really turning out to be such a great year.
I know Im being so redundant but I get some awesome news each day, each day being bigger and better news for us! Im not going to toot my own horn yet but you will seeing a lot of me come February! Just you wait!!!!
I am so excited! My favorite soap opera of all time is going to air again in re-runs. My most favorite sopa of all time, Full House, will air its re-runs starting next week! I am so in love with that show, especially with the characters - too funny and yet romantic at the same time. I still remember not sleeping for almost two days just to finish the series I loaned from my sister-in-law. And how I am able to laugh and cry at the same time at one episode. After that, I became hooked following Asia entertainment news as I always wanted to know the latest on its stars. From there, I would know which soap series they are producing next. I have never thought I would be such a fan!
LO163 Matthew First Book, originally uploaded by aggietha.
Matthew made his first book by himself last Summer. I still have that book (he made two), and it was about dinosaurs. He made the conversations and characters himself, in English, I might add. This will be a great way to preserve it!
Since Ive been assigned to an early morning shift at work, 3AM to 12NN to be exact, Im always home at 1PM, early enough to be able to eat lunch, play with Martha, have my own computer time before Matthew gets home from school at 4PM, and watch TV. I’m becoming addicted to soap operas again. Soap Operas are the reason why I dont sleep at all! I’ve subscribed to the site to get updates to soaps I want to keep in touch with, and since we have cable, I am able to catch a lot of sneak peeks since soap operas always air late here in Asia. They have a list of soap shows, which is helpful when you want to check if they have your show listed, and even feature a message board to discuss among soap opera addicts the shows they are watching! Completely informative, if I might add. Now, I have watched the original Spanish (or was it Latina) version of Ugly Betty, but I cant wait to see their spin off of this very popular soap opera!
