What Simply Works!

Staying Put

My husband was tasked to check-out an apartment near my daughter’s day care centre in Sydney. It is the best time, I should say, since the kids and I are still here in the Philippines. If all goes well with the new place, then it will be logistically easier to move than having to worry about two young kids while doing all the packing and unpacking.

According to my husband, the apartment we’re looking at is well maintained, all the rooms are acceptable except that the bathrooms are tad small. The toilets are so-so, not needing replacements but definitely not designed like Toto toilets. Overall, we decided not to pursue the place given that it doesn’t meet our standards.

A Big Event

The whole family is looking forward to a wedding event happening at the end of this year. We are excited because we will again doll-up our little girl, as I was told will be one of the flower girls. And our little boy, will be in a formal suit for the very first time! (Note to self: Scout for tuxedo shirts.) I bet he will look cute in it! Hee hee.

Bravina is the Key

While I was watching the latest season of American Idol, I noticed one of the male contestants showing signs of stage fright. He frequently switched hands holding the microphone and moved in awkward motion. After his song number, the judges noted his awkward moves, too. But he was told that despite the obvious nervousness he displayed, he still is on top of the lead because of his unique voice.

I believe many (if not all) performers or speakers go through this challenging phase of getting over stage fright. Even those who are confident with their skill or talent feel nervous when facing a huge crowd. But public speaking (or performing) should not impede what we are set to accomplish. There are many ways to deal with this anxiety and one of them is a supplement called Bravina.

Bravina helps get rid of public speaking anxiety and has of course, proven its effectiveness with 96% (for public speaking) and 81% (for concentration) customer satisfaction rating. Apart from taking Bravina, there are speech advice and tips that can be easily downloaded and referenced from their website.

For people who are currently on medication, it is advisable to consult a physician prior taking Bravina supplements. Apart from that, safety of this supplement is guaranteed. So, if taking these supplements seem too good to be true, check out their website to get more information.

Detox, Anyone?

Yesterday, over dinner, we were discussing about detoxification. How it can be easy but still requiring commitment. A family member shared that wheat grass is good and the effect is like rapid detox for her. She felt the effects after she finished drinking it for ten straight days. She felt lighter and leaner, there were no hunger pangs that made her grab for junk food before. Sounds promising, doesn’t it?

What I have read about detoxification is it doesn’t only help those who want to give up smoking or alcohol but even those who simply want to start a healthy lifestyle. I would like to try detoxification but maybe at a better time like when my youngest child is a bit older.

Uphill from Here

We had a mini-celebration for my son’s 5^th month yesterday. It was not so long ago when I used to worry about my pregnancy but now, I see my little boy growing up so fast! What a blessing! My husband and I are so excited about the future that we talk about touring Australia (e.g. theme parks in Gold Coast) and eventually the U.S. (e.g. Disney vacation packages). By God’s grace, it will all be uphill from here.

Pure Enjoyment

I have totally neglected this blog. I used to join a lot of weekly photo memes and immensely enjoyed leaving comments on other peoples’ blogs. I even toyed with the idea of getting free SEO software in the hopes of increasing traffic and eventually the Google PR ranking of this site. But that’s a thing of the past. I don’t bother think of PR or site traffic anymore as it robs me of the enjoyment that I get in blogging.

Hot and Humid

I would love to get a back cleaning or peel one of these days. I haven’t seen a dermatologist about it yet but I believe I have some form of acne on my back. Eeeww! I would not know of it if not that it gets terribly itchy at times, especially on warm to hot weather. I guess whatever type of body acne treatments the dermatologist will recommend will surely give relief.

Dead Serious

busymom — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 22:57:04 +0000

I am dead serious in keeping fit that I have started to take multiple vitamins in order to supplement what I am missing in my daily diet. It scares me to think of getting sick and leaving my poor babies on their own. Of course, the husband will be there to look after them but of course, he has work to take care of, too. I eventually want to do some light exercises to augment my vitamins intake. Any form of light exercise such as walking or biking sounds interesting to me.

My Top Priority

busymom — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 22:52:29 +0000

I have given up at the thought of getting back to my pre-pregnancy weight. First, I don’t know of any diets that work. Second, family and friends have said that I look better now than when I was super thin. Third, more than dieting, it is important for me to keep healthy. That is because looking after my family is my top priority. I can’t afford to spend precious time and money on vanity. Well, that is not to say that I am not taking care of myself. I just happen to know where my priorities lay.

The Waiting Game

busymom — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 04:35:01 +0000

I’m getting quite excited about what lies ahead in our very near future. With our youngest child turning one this year, my husband and I foresee that we can start making plans for our respective careers. Will I find a job that I would love to do? Will my husband be able to make new arrangements with his job? Well, we don’t know the answers as yet but hey, this waiting bit makes it all the more exciting. Bring it on, Lord!
