It was fun that we were able to go to lots of places when we went back home for vacation. In a way a lot has changed, more shopping malls, greats restaurants and other fun places. The little girl enjoyed our vacation as much as I did. She loved the car rides because she’s able to see a lot of things that are new to her, the jeepneys, tricycles even signature plates makes her squeal in delight. Ahhh how easy it is to please a toddler, we don’t have to try so hard. I was happy that she to see a lot of different places and have new experiences. We definitely have to go back home for often.

I love this new kit by Cori Gammon at The Lilypad. I’m was able to scrap finally and I loved how this page turned out. It’s nice that I’m finally able to scrap some photos from our vacation, this photo makes me smile…nothing fancy just a snapshot of me and my little girl, I like scrapping little moments like this that reminds me of how lucky I am.
I’m trying to figure out how to slice a video clip to fit to my Flickr for the past 30 minutes now. I have to admit it will be better for me to just ask my husband to do it for me. Just like I don’t know anything about Insinkerator, I don’t know how to edit videos either, my husband is always the one editing our family videos so I never tried to do it myself. For once I wanted to do it myself but it seems I really can’t do it. I better ask the expert…
I was browsing online for healthier meals I can prepare easily before I take my little girl to school. It’s hard to plan a menu for the family each week, preparing the same food over and over can be boring so I’m trying to find new recipes to try. I even stumbled upon this alli weight loss which already helped a lot of women lose weight. I try to make healthier food choices because I’m too scared to try any weight loss treatment/diet so hopefully by eating healthy I could shed those excess pounds, it will be slow but I gotta try.
I haven’t scrapped in ages, I feel like I’m a bit rusty and my style is getting old 
Anyway here’s my recent scrapbook layout….
I used Zoe Pearn’s Alphabet Soup - Girls for the layout above. The photo is my little girl with her cousion, one of my favorites from our vacation photos.
I know going back to Manila for vacation that I would like to do a lot of shopping since I can get a lot of things like clothes cheaper here. I was happy to find great bargains and a big sale when I did my shopping for the little girl’s clothes. The clothes were cheaper at full price but to get them at 50% off was even better. I still bought her some clothes at Gingersnaps at full price though, I didn’t mind because the price is three times more have I bought them at SG and besides they have the cutest paperbag too. I wished I got her more accessories from their store, oh well maybe next time.
I know we’re still on vacation but I can’t help but think about our next vacation come September. The little girl will have a short school break so it’s the perfect time to go have a family getaway. I’m not sure our original plan would push through but I still want to go somewhere we could have fun and relax and perhaps lounge on some log furniture. I don’t mind not going to Tokyo this year but I really want to have a break. I’m sure hubby won’t mind this idea too, it’s so much easier to bring the little girl on trips now that she’s almost four. She’s a fun companion and it’s not hard to keep her happy and entertained (I have my iphone to thank for that).
This doodle set by Kate Hadfield has been really helpful when it comes to doing my daughter’s school homework. I let her choose which animals she wants and proceeds to assist her in cutting, pasting them on her workbook. The doodles are nicely done and so cute, my daughter likes them a lot.
I know I’ve gained weight and I’ve been telling myself I should be serious about shedding those excess pounds that doesn’t seem to budge no matter how I try to control my diet. I might resort to other weight loss diet soon, better yet I should get my butt off the chair and start exercising regularly. I know I won’t magically lose weight so I need to have the determination to see results. If only it is that easy….
Even though we’re on vacation I make sure I brought all my skincare items with me. I don’t miss putting on my eye cream twice a day and the same goes for my moisturizer. Just because we’re thousand of miles away from home it doesn’t mean I could forget about my regimen. I’m not getting any younger so I should take care of my skin more. Prevention is always better than cure I always say. It’s better to slow the hands of time than to try and reverse it by going under the knife (not that I would anyway).
