Had a very gloomy start of November this year as my aunt got this pulmonary disease due to smoking. Although, I know there is more to it than just that, my aunt is a street cleaner here in Cebu preferably the Mandaue City area. She was having cough for several days already and that she also acquired fever and several chills by night time. I was really afraid that she got infected with rabies since she was bitten by her pet kitten the time she took bath of her.

Hi Mommsies!!

Did you know? that the month of October has been made the official world-wide Breast Cancer Awareness Month since 1985.

Its aim was to promote Mammograms as a significant component of early detection and breast cancer survival.

Why Pink is the color associated with Breast Cancer?  It is because the occurrence of the disease is predominant among women. Hence, it also known as "PINK OCTOBER".







Speaking of tools and detection, Chong Hua Hospital and Hi-Precision Diagnostics are now offering BIG DISCOUNTS on Mammography just for this Month of October.

If you have a family member  or a friend who wants to avail of this promo, you can directly call them.

Early detection saves lives!

All over the world, people are becoming ill, sick or even dying because of toxins. Toxins pollute the human body, attack the healthy body and slowly destroy it. After years of storage, the toxins move into body cells and tissues. They ultimately produce such degenerative diseases as cancer, diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, and others.

The Symptoms: http://gdetoxplus.com/

Common symptoms of excess toxins in the body include: constipation, poor digestion, stomach bloat, insomnia, fatigue, frequent headaches, muscle or joint aches and pains, bad breath, poor memory, poor skin, itching, excess weight, chronic respiratory or sinus problems, coated tongue, depression, weakened immune system and an overall feeling of lethargy.

I swear talagang I AM ONE OF THOSE. so start ako sa journey ko today.
I'm hoping to get good results out of this one.

have you tried this products too?
If so, please let me know.

Been wanting to lose some weight for quite some time now. I've gained maybe 5-10 lbs (from a 120+ to 130+ lbs) after I gave birth last 2012. Mind you, it's really tempting to eat. My stomach shouts at almost anything *grin*, it's hard to go on a diet especially for me who is religiously breastfeeding Adi until now (been a year).

I don't skip my breakfast since that's the most important meal of the day for me. I don't want to get gutom (hungry) when I go to work as much as possible. The added energy that I need is from there so I eat and drink Milo. *wink* let's skip the milk for late nights.

For lunch, I skip rice and eat something else. This time it's bread with my favorite Calamares (fried buttered squid)




I might say, my stomach was filled though. Thank God! I thought I would not but I might as well get used to this. I'm happy that I am already a step closer to my goal.... to lose weight.

Well, hopefully this routine would go on as I please. Discipline is key here. *wink* So, the best of luck to me.

*I am also looking into eating potatoes, brown rice and oatmeal as my rice substitute.

That's it for me today!

--> Hello everyone!
It is me having to blog about the New Year and the 2012 holidays that was. As for all the occasions tolling the year, Christmas and the New Year tops all of it all.

Top resolutions we all have and promised to take is to loose all the pounds we took in and added.
One can't deny the fact that good health is one of our top priorities especially when one is a Mom, like me who just recently gave birth last August. Mind you, I gained lots of unwanted fats especially on my belly area.

I would greatly admire if I would achieve my figure back again. I am on the search for those diet programs as well on the internet and looking out for the motivation to limit my food intake. I just had a baby and the urge to eat is sky rocketing! Most so if you are breastfeeding.. Moms out there can definitely relate to what I am blabbing about. =) While some out there abruptly lost all the fat, where did it all went? So jealous i am i know. Well maybe it is not us at all, It is just all in our metabolism.

Good thing, our friends from Sure Slim Wellness Centre
