Cravings

I've been checking some weight loss supplements recommended to me by friends. Some of them have tried it already, some are just like me, relying on the recommendation of others. I am hoping one of them will be the one to aid my quest for the slimmer me.

This morning I was craving for some chicken fillet sandwich. Guess what? I indulged and ate two! It's so hard to lose weight. And when I do give in to my cravings, it gets harder and harder for me hehe

Save for a vacation

When Paul mentioned snow to us during our dinner last weekend, it reminded me immediately of ski vacations. My cousins, who grew up in a life of luxury, would go on ski vacations while all of us would stay put at home. We never begrudged them their good fortune. In fact, it became our inspiration. Me and my other cousins would plan our own ski vacations. We realized that we needed to study hard to get good jobs. Now that we do, we can already afford it.

But you know, priorities change. Like we were supposed to go to Aspen last year but we canceled it. We spent our collected funds to organize a large family reunion instead. If you are living in the city like me, that's a real treat! To get to see your family and relatives together in one place catching up with each others' lives. Anyway, we can save again for a ski vacation in the future, right?

Job hunting

My friend Jing will be doing a Seattle Job Search. She is currently employed but is going on a job hunting right now because of discontent at work. She's been with the same company for over five years and still no sign of professional growth. She's given it one chance too many and she's now ready to move on.

I say, good for her! I have always maintained that it is better to hop to another company now when you are still of age when you are marketable. If you reached a certain age when you are no longer what companies in your field is looking for, trust me, you will find it incredibly hard to get a new job.

Good homekeeper

My aunt is a good homekeeper. She never forgets to stock up on important items like the basic things needed in every room of the house. Ask her if she has extras at home and she'll ask you what item you need. How about furnace filters? Oh, she has some. How about an extra floor mop... she has one, too. Extra pillows, blankets, towels, bedsheets, pillowcases... she has lots of it!

She's always been like that even when she was still single. She was the turn to person when anyone in their house needed something before. And it has been beneficial for her now that she is already a wife and mom.

Boom in sales

Sale of car accessories and parts is in boom right now. I live in a district that is called the car center of the city. Everything you can think of with regards to a car can be found here. With the recent devastation caused by the two super typhoons that hit the country, a lot of cars are needing repairs and change of parts and accessories. I can see mechanics doing overtime to be able to accommodate more clients in a day.
