I’ve been reading up on some websites about diet pills as some of you may know that I have a weight problem. Anyway, there is one website that I sure am glad I stumbled into. The site I’m talking about reviews various products in the market and then ranks it against the other products. For example, the review on Phentermine ranks it among the top 200 diet pills and then gives a conclusion on why it was ranked so. What’s even better is it also gives a brief overview of the products that ranked highest in the scale. I’ll continue reading up on this website.

Toni and I have had this habit of checking out the local car manufacturers’ website to look for a vehicle for the family. Not that we’re really out in the market for one, we’re just speculating on buying one. With the help from reviews from some friends, we’ve narrowed down our selection to about 3 cars. What we also plan to do is add some after market accessories like spoilers and maybe a roof rack to somehow personalize it to differentiate it with all the cars on the road. Now all we have to do is come up with the money, hehehe.

I’ve had my current eyeglasses for almost three years now. I know I should have my eyes checked annually and the lenses changed as well if needed. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to do so. Anyway, I plan to have my glasses checked within the next few weeks. If I wasn’t having problems with my glasses now, I wouldn’t have it changed except for the lenses, but the frame is a little too tight that it leaves marks on my temples. My fault was not noticing it when I got the pair. Well now I have something to watch out for on my next pair.

Paul is on his 3^rd or 4^th week on his new job. So far, I think he’s enjoying it. Not only is it related to his field, but he gets to learn a lot also. One thing he complains about the work is the travel time from our house to the office. His work is based in Laguna so he travels from Marikina to Laguna everyday. He leaves the house at 6:00am to make it to the office before 9:00am. Then he arrives at home usually between 9:00-9:30pm. It’s good that Lance normally wakes up at 5:30am so they get to see each other before he leaves. He also often travels to Batangas or to other parts of the country. Like right now, he’s in Bicol and will be back on Saturday. I often tease Paul that maybe the travels will help him lose weight and if not, I might buy him something from Orovo to help him lose weight. Whenever we see someone we haven’t seen for a long time, they always notice that Paul gained weight so I need to encourage him to go back to his weight before. Wish me luck!

I haven’t updated you about what’s happening with us. Most of the time, the updates are just about the “sideline”. I still have tons of tags to answer and I promise to do them all, I’m just so tamad lately. Anyhow, I’ll leave with you an update about my pregnancy.

I visited my OB last May 1 for my monthly check up. I’m on my 18^th week already and since this is a different pregnancy I’m not sure what to expect. One of my concerns is my weight because I was worried that I’m not gaining weight as much as I should. My pre-pregnancy weight is 120lbs and I’m only 122lbs or 124lbs now. And my other concern is the pain in my right bump up to my legs. I told my OB my concerns so she checked them one by one. She told me not to worry about my weight. She also checked the size of the baby and its heartbeat and said that everything’s normal. I just have to check if I gain at least 1lb a week. About the pain naman, she just advised me to take my calcium everyday and there’s nothing to worry. She also checked my BP and everything that needs to be done during check up and all is fine naman. I was advised to take the glucose test and have a pelvic ultrasound also and gave me the referral slip. Was advised to show her the results on my next check up on May 29.

We’re planning to have the test and the ultrasound on the 3^rd week of May. I hope I’ll pass the glucose test and I hope the baby is ok and healthy and will show the genitals. We’re hoping for a girl pero if it’s a boy we’ll welcome it din naman. May kalaro na si Lance. That’s it for now. Wish me luck on my test and ultrasound. Will update you again when we have the results na.

Some of you may have noticed that I’ve been checking out some diet pills out there in the market. Well, I came across another one. There’s this site that has a couple of reviews on this pill, and it also lets you add your own Fenphedra review as well. Anyway the description there on the site was rather “interesting”. In a nutshell, you always have this feeling of fullness, thus it cuts down your cravings making you lose weight. Then it has what some people call the “Love Drug”, and produces a mild stimulant effect followed by a very agreeable, calming sensation…Interesting.

I thought acne breakouts only happen to teenagers. I was wrong. I’m now 31 years old and I still get pimples once in a while, although not as often as before. What’s worse is when I get pimples, I only get a few but rather large ones, the kind that hurts. I just told myself that if I get another breakout, I’m really going to the dermatologist to get acne treatments.

My college friend called me yesterday and told me that we’ll have a swimming this weekend.  They already reserved 4 rooms for the rest of the group and we’ll stay there until Sunday.  We’re all excited to go since we haven’t done this since college days.  When we graduated, we seldom see each other and we just go out to dinner or sometimes we just see one another when there’s an occasion like weddings, baptism, birthday, etc.  I’m sure all of us will have a great time on sat.  We’ll see each other again and we’re going swimming!  Which reminds me, I need to buy a new boardshorts because the one I have now doesn’t fit anymore being pregnant and all.  I have to go to the mall to buy one before the weekends. 

Lance is about to go to school in a few years time.  There are a couple of agents offering us educational plan and we’re considering it.  We really haven’t talked about it thoroughly because when an agent offers a plan, we just get the quotation and set it aside.  The agent also gave me term life insurance quote and explains the benefits and advantages of having such.  We already have insurance so we’re not sure yet if we’ll be getting another one. We’ll see.

I think it’s time we fix the door hardware in the house.  We have a door that doesn’t have a doorknob, and a couple of others wherein the key mechanism for some reason or another, had stopped working.  I’m eyeing the Baldwin brand of door hardware, specifically the keyed knobs and levers.  They do have a very impressive and diverse product line.  The only hard part would be choosing the style.  Well, wish me luck!
