It's been so long since I have written something for this blog, I wouldn't say that life was hard but, it has been quite a challenge in the past few years. A lot that was going on that, I wasn't able to pay much attention to blogging anymore. 

I remember the last time that I posted something I've talked about getting pregnant again and was so frustrated because a year has passed but I still wasn't getting a positive result on all my pregnancy tests, thus, I vented out my frustrations here :) but wow! life is full of surprises you know? not all will go according to what you planned, the higher force knows when is the right time to give you what you wanted. 

So there it goes, life has not been the same since then, instead of asking for another one, I have been blessed with 2 more and I have never been busier with a preteen, an infant and a toddler thus, I need to go on hiatus for quite some time :) but thinking about it now, its not "sometime" it has been what 7 or 8 years? This blog even has the ad sense removed for inactivity, anyways, It just felt so good to write again. 

There will be a lot of things that I will be sharing from the past few years that I have been in hiatus, I think it's also the perfect time to have something of a medium to get rid of the boredom, now, that the kids are grown ups ( not adult yet) but they are quite independent on their own right now, so that gives me enough time to do what I want and in the past few months, it has been lying on the sofa with my cell phone scrolling to Facebook for a good amount of time every day (Ahh! what a waste!) 

Let me just share what I am binging up lately...Enjoy!

Good Morning Saturday!

Ahh! it feels good to feel the sun shine in my face, how long has it been since I wrote something on this blog? Wow! If the last post haven't had date I will never remember, oh, life! it's really not easy isn't it :)

I am not sure why I open this blog again, I was just browsing something on my notebook when something caught my attention that reminds me I have a blog. Well! I know I have a one but I can't even remember the password just so lucky I am not using a complicated password though lol!

So, here I am pressing this keyboard again hoping I had something in mind that  could share with the world, there are a lot of happenings in life that keeps me busy for the last few years and I am very excited to share it here.

I am excited wohoh!! I you' all have a very wonderful day...😁

Crazy getting pregnant!

It has been a few months since I posted something, I have to take a rest to plan for another addition to the family.

I stopped taking my birth control pill for a year hoping to conceived again. For the first 2 months without my pill, my period was late, I was so excited and I immediately bought a pregnancy kit to test, unfortunately the result was negative, it was such a dismay but since it was the first try after stopping the pill, I just brushed the disappointment aside and tried again, for the following month my period returned to its normal rhythm until again it was delayed for another 2 months and again I did a test, and again it was negative, during that time I was so disappointed, and now I felt the frustration of those mother's, who were like me that is very eager to conceive.


My husbands keep on telling me that it was just a short time for me to be frustrated we just have to try again, though I know he is right, there was still a lot of things going on my mind. I felt that because I am gaining weight, maybe that's the reason why I was not able to get pregnant at the earliest time since most women who were on pills easily gets pregnant because they said that if you were on a pill and stopped it, you will be fertile enough to conceived, so I was wondering what was wrong with me.

I know that I can bear a child, I already have a 7 year old daughter but maybe because of my eagerness to get pregnant again, I was being paranoid of thinking a lot of possibilities why is it that it has been months and I'm still not pregnant. It came to a point that I had nightmares of not getting pregnant. But then again I am blessed that my husband always has hope and he keeps on cheering me up, telling me that it will not take long and we can get it right and because he loves me. I believed him and we still keep on trying and praying.

Getting pregnant!

When is the best time for a woman to get pregnant

There is no greater joy for a woman than to give a life to another human being. But bringing another life to this wolrd is not that easy. There are a lot of things to consider. Woman should make sure that that she is ready to have a baby if she is planning to have one. The firs thing to know is to find out when is the best time to get pregnant. It is necessary to know the right time, because having a child in the womb is a very delicate process, a woman should be emotionally and physically ready so that she can give her best care to her baby.

If you and your partner were both ready to have a baby then you should try to gather all the important information that you needed. According to studies the best time to get pregnant is to know the period of your ovulation it is the most fertile time for every woman. In this time the mature ovum is being released from the follicules to the uterus, and this egg is ready to be fertilized, and for about 12 hours it will stay this way. Paying attention to your body is the best way to know when are you going to be fertile like spotting the signs of ovulation physically.The most common method of knowing the best time to get pregnant is to count the days. A woman should know when will be her next period, she has to count backward for 12 to 16 days. For those women who has a very regular or normal menstrual cycle the best day to get pregnant is the 14th day.

Aside from this the temperature of the body can also be a factor but it does not necessarily tell when is the best time to get pregnant. After a womans ovualtion her basal body temperature may increase to 1.6 from 0.5 degrees. She may not feel the change but it can be detected thorugh a basal thermometer, and two to three days after the rise of a woman body temperature is the best time to get pregnant, the shift in tempaerature is because of the increase in the production of the hormone called progesterone, since it is triggered by ovulation. If a woamn also feels discomfort or pain in the lower abdomen this is also an indication of getting pregnant, a small percentage of women are feeling this ovulatory activity that brings mild to moderate pains in the lower abdomen, this may last to a few hours in some cases.

Why can't you get pregnant?

Marriage is building a family. Family is the foundation of the society and as defined a group of people that includes a mother, father and children is called a nuclear family. A child is born because of the union of two opposite sex. It is a fact that one is trying to unite with the opposite sex to produce offspring, but it is not as easy at it is being said. A woman can be pregnant if the egg is fertilized by the sperm thus producing a new life.

In most cases this is not always the outcome. There are always those women who are not fertile enough to bear a child and there re also men who are not competent enough to make a baby. There are a lot of infertility causes that one can be suffering, thus one cannot be able to get pregnant. Ovulation and egg quality is one it includes irregular ovulation because of hormonal imbalance and the egg quality is poor, but problems like these are related to age most of the time. Blocked fallopian tube is also one example of infertility causes because if ones fallopian tube has been blocked then it is very impossible for ones egg to travel to the uterus and in sperms cannot get into ones egg. Drinking too much alcohol and smoking also contributes to infertility as well as obesity.

In a world where people are trying to blend with the industrialized world it is also very important to watch what one is consuming, study shows that the BPA known as bisphenol-A has been linked to serious health problems, such as birth defects and cancer, and is also suspected to be the cause of erectile dysfunction for men which is know as being impotent. This chemical can be found in plastic containers of food and bottled water.

Infertility causes in males is also affecting the capability of woman in conceiving a child, In most cases it is the males infertility that makes it impossible for a woman to get pregnant. One factor of male infertility is when an epididymis or the tube that carries the sperm from the testes or if the two tubes called vas deferens is blocked. Aside from that, poor sperm quality and low motility of sperm or deficiency in semen also contributes to infertility. Pregnant women also who takes common painkillers has the possibility of giving birth to a baby boy whose testicles may not properly descend because the productions of testosterone is not enough.

Infertility causes depressions to people who are planning to have a child, in some ways it may affect them emotionally and or physically, a broken marriage may also be a result of infertility. But one should not worry about these infertility causes because we are now living in a modern world and technology has evolved through the years and because of this there are a lot of treatment that one can get to treat infertility, but one should be willing to accept the condition first so that one can be emotionally ready before getting a professional treatment.

Sitting is death

It has been a fact that the worldwide web has reach a certain threshold of popularity, it provides user the indoor entertainment that one is longing for, with just one click of the mouse we can have every information that we wanted. The internet is a great source of almost everything.

With that, most people relies on the internet for their business but not just that, jobs nowadays are mostly internet based.

Internet based jobs involves a lot of sitting for hours everyday, thus most people preferred to do this kind of jobs. It may be a relaxing work but, one should be aware about the risks of sitting for a long time.

According to some studies. Sitting will or shall I say has done serious things for one's health. It is the cause why a lot of people are suffering from the risk of heart disease and weight gain that may lead to obesity in the long run.

Sitting jobs will double the cause of cardiovascular disease compared to standing jobs, because when one sits the following will occur:

.Burning of calories will drop up to 1/minute
. 90% drop on the enzyme that helps burns fat
. Leg muscles electrical activity shuts off
. Good cholesterol will drop after two hours of sitting
.the risks of diabetes will rise because insulin effectiveness will drop after 24 hours.

Studies shows that those sitting while watching TV for 3 hours has a great possibility of having diabetes that may eventually lead to death.

It cannot be avoided because most people have jobs which requires a lot of sitting but one should remember to take the extra step because sitting is a killer it can increase one's death risk by 40%

Brangelina: A new Movie Together?

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt also known as Brangelina are reportedly planning on doing a new movie together. It was in the movie entitled "Mr.and Mrs. Smith" that these two fell in love and now have six children, in which three are biologically born while another three was adopted.

In a recent interview Brad said that "We're not ones to repeat ourselves, but we'd like to, because right now, we're hopscotching with films so one can be with the kids and one's free to work. And why aren't we doing them together? Why aren't we doing everything together?"

These A-list hollywood couple always travel as a family for films, and that one should not be working while the other is, so that one full-time parent will be with the kids to take care of them.

In addition Brad said that being a father has changed the movies that he is making.

Just another day of my life.

Anxious, stressed out and tired!

I have been like this for the past few weeks, I have been so busy doing two jobs in one day and taking care of my family, this has been my routine every single day and it's taking its toll on me. I'm always short tempered and easily irritated.

I am not complaining though because I always have a choice and since I choose to do this so I think I can or maybe I should..lol, It is just, I am not used to having a very busy life that I find it hard to cope up with.

Balancing the act of being an employee forty hours a week and wok at home mom for twenty four hours a week as well as a mother and a wife twenty four seven is not easy. I must admit it is one tough act!

Baby Stuff: what is there to know

According to studies, there are roughly around 200,000 babies born daily in the whole world. This just shows how important and valuable babies and kids are. Wherever one may be, it is not possible to not see any kid.
Within a family, one can see how kids are loved and cared for by the adults; from food, hygiene, and of course things, from the littlest thing like drinking bottles to cribs, all these things are carefully hand-picked by parents.

And as we all know, if we speak of baby or toddler stuff, one would normally think of colors. Kids love colors, especially brighter ones. But parents need to realize that there are a couple of things that they need to realize other than buying those baby things because it is colorful. For one, parents need to pay extra attention on the quality. Let’s say you are a parent and looking for a nap mat, it is important to examine the mat thoroughly. The fabric and the material used should be inspected; there are fabrics that may cause rashes on your baby’s skin.
One may find shopping for baby stuff as a really fun and interesting thing to do. Most adult stuff has a version for babies, even bags. There is a so called toddler backpack, which is appropriate for your toddlers. These bags usually have cartoon characters as its design and are colorful.

But sometimes what give parents the headache is the lack of knowing where to find the baby things they and their kids need. It is always great to know which store to go to, especially when you know that this store sells quality products. To start off on your search for a great store to purchase the baby things you need, you may want to check out some online stores which are really accessible with today’s technology; stores like Stephen Joseph, and a lot more.

Mom can I have some time with you?

I have been so busy finding ways to get a second job to earn more and save for the future of my child. One day an opportunity came and I have to grabbed it, the reason? to earn more, so I started this job ( by the way this is a part time job at home, because I have a full time day job.) and for weeks my routine has always been the same, I have to wake up early so that I won't be late for my day job, then after that I have to rush home to prepare dinner for my husband and my daughter, then sit again in front of the computer this time for my part time job. See? it has always been my routine for almost a month and a half now.

It has always been this way every single day since I have this job at home, until I realized that, because of my eagerness to earn more I have taken for granted that I have a 6 year old daughter who in those days are always waiting for me, when to be home after my day job. I have noticed that during those days that I have been working at home she is always telling me when will I be done with my job.

It broke my heart seeing my daughter begging for a chance to have some time with me. I guess she missed the days that we we were singing and dancing together every night after I went home from my day job. I have been contemplating on what to do, I don't want to lose my part time job, the money I earned from it is a big help for us financially, especially now that school days is coming, but I also want to have some quality time with my daughter, I have been noticing these past few days that she is always doing something just to get my attention.

I love my child and I want to be with her, in her every day journey through life, I know I can do this, maybe it is just a matter of organizing the things that needs to done.

Help me God!

Lighting a Home

Your abode is your kingdom; it is that one place where you can be sure that you are the master. Thus it is understandable that one would want only the best for his or her home. One thing, others may have not realized yet is that lighting is really important when it comes to homes; it could determine the mood or even the personality of the people living in it.
But today, one cannot deny that choosing the best modern lighting fixtures may not be as easy as one may think. It is very important to find a store that has everything in terms of home lighting – from ceiling lighting, to lamps to wall and outdoor lighting. It is also important that the store have a lot of choices in terms of modern ceiling fixtures’ designs, quality, and sizes.
As mentioned, one’s preference in their home lighting may determine what type of person may live in a house. For example, if one chooses to purchase and use a drum shade chandelier, another person may assume that the homeowner may like to live simply. One can also say that the homeowner is practical, considering that this type of modern chandelier can be used both indoors and out.

But then again, one question boggles your mind, how do we know where to buy? Well, doing research or canvassing is very important, purchasing any item no matter what it is, should not be done impulsively. With this modern day technology the best thing one could do is research online to start with. Many businesses already have their sites up and running, making consumers gain an easy access to their products. It is always ideal to check on the company’s background, read reviews about them, in that way you will never regret doing business with them. Doing such can put a big smile on your face every time you take a look at your lighting.

Sun damage is the number one cause of premature aging, fine lines and age spots, most commonly found on the face and most of all it is also the cause of skin cancer. It has been a fact that the UV rays of the sun is dangerous specially at the time of the day where the sun is at its peak of hotness because the UVA rays will penetrate deep into the skin.

During the summer month. The sun is always at its full capacity of giving us a lot of its UV rays and because of the pollution that damages our ozone layer, a large amount of these UV rays are hitting us directly. In this time also skin becomes dull because of sand, chlorine and other factors.

Since summer time is the best way to go on a vacation,most of us enjoys spending it on the beach and have fun under the sun, so the most essential thing that we should do to protect our skin from the sun is used a sunblock. Sunblock helps prevents the sun from inflicting too much damage to our skin, but we have to remember that in using sunblock it must be compatible with our skin type or else we may get allergies.

Summer Time!

The sun is getting hotter everyday and I haven't paid much attention to it, until today. In a country with a tropical weather it is summer time! and it means fun and more fun!

Kids don't have school this time of the year, so they have more time to enjoy several activities that is suitable for summer such as swimming but it is not just for kids, grown-ups and kids at heart were also are looking forward to this time of the year.

Since it is summer, we hardly had rain for 2 months, the sun is hot and the weather is warm, and because of this a lot of people have a need to cool off.

The best place to go? guess what? beaches!. The beaches are so inviting during summer thus, there are a lot of families who spend a lot of time under the sun. This is the only time where you can enjoy the sun without worrying about anything, except for sunburns of course!

Aside from the popular beaches, it is also good to enjoy treats and goodies that are most commonly made for summer.

So what are you waiting for, choose a location, pack your bags, get in to your swimsuits and enjoy summer as it only happens once every year.

Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation in dermatology is defined as the darkening of a certain area of the skin or nails caused by increase melanin. It is usually harmless but it is not good to look at either.

Several people are suffering from this skin darkening, and most of them are caused by the sun. If your skin is exposed to too much sun then there is a great possibility that you can have hyperpigmentation. Taking birth control is also a factor because this may cause a hormonal change to the body.

Since it is harmless, you need not to worry too much. It is also curable, there are a lot of home remedies that can lighten the skin and there are also a lot of surgical operation that you can do to diminish it.

You should be careful on whatever medication you will be choosing, you should consult a professional before trying anything to prevent it from worsening!
