Mommyhood

Just stories about the joys and trials of a full time working mom with 2 babies.

Oh, the places you'll go!

Just another travel stories but from a different perspective - mine :)

Thinking out loud.

Musings, randomness and anything in between, a few decibels louder.

DIY

An attempt to creative-ness.

Back to where you started.

You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you and change the ending. Thanks for stopping by.

Flee from Bad Aura

There are people, and this could be an acquaintance, a family member, your exes or your neighbor, that no matter how nice you try to treat them they will always have something bad to say about you behind your back.

Ignore them.

They're bitter and unhappy and jealous and they want to drag you along with their misery. Stay away from them. They're not worth wasting your time nor energy with.

Boudoir Photoshoot, anyone? (it's the best hubby gift)

i was having second thoughts to do this at first but after much thought i figured what the heck. i won't be naked anyway. and i really want to give the hubby a special and unique first wedding anniversary present.

and i’m so proud of how it turned out and i’m really glad i did it.

one, because i know how hard it is to lose weight, so this is a reward for myself, lol. plus i want to have something to look back to when i'm old, wrinkly and fat, a proof that i was hot once, haha. (vain alert, hee hee).

two, because i won’t be young forever and not getting any younger either, plus once i give birth i might not have the same body again.

click to see all 6 of the photos

and three, because my husband love the boudoir photo album so much! he specially liked the photos where i was wearing angel wings (but can’t show it here because it’s a victoria secret kinda shot, if you know what i mean, lol). he loved it so much that he wants me to flaunt it to my married girlfriends so they'll get inspired to do the same for their hubbies.

if you’re married, i recommend doing this while you still can, you owe it to yourself and it boosts self confidence…..plus, i can't iterate this enough, your husband will love it! i swear! just look for a good photographer who knows how to pose you and hide the “unwanted” areas... i have a lot of unwanted areas and my photographer helped me hide them by doing certain poses and her finding the right angle...
