A taste of chicness

When I got immersed with this country we are residing in, I was able to see how different people are in terms of fashion, style, and likes. They have distinguished tastes when it comes to style of clothing, the brand, the shoes, the bags, and even the way they carry themselves. They simply look good.

Looking good doesn’t require buying expensive clothes and accessories. It is perhaps more on the side of feeling good inside and then it radiates on the outside. Oftentimes, feeling good inside emanates on how we are dressed, on our make up, accessories, bags, clothes, and shoes. It’s how I can some people here. They don’t go to malls or anywhere without having done their hair and their face by going first to the salons. I don’t say we have to do the same for us to look good. The mere fact that we know how to take care of ourselves by bathing regularly and by changing our clothes everyday are enough for us to be considered presentable and fresh-smelling peeps.

Milestones of my two-month old baby

We originally planned to celebrate at the mall, but since it was already past 8 in the evening, I told husband to just buy food from McDonald’s, cake from Mr. Baker, and he suggested to buy pancit.

On the eve of my baby’s 2nd month birthday, at exactly 10 o’clock in the evening, I just said the word “hello” to her, and she answered back “hello” to my uttermost amazement! I woke up my husband, who was barely sleeping, just closing his eyes, perhaps, and asked if he heard the word, “hello”. He said no. He must be asleep, hehe, so I talked to my baby again, just saying the word, “hello”, and this time, husband heard her say the word!  I repeated the word, “hello” for six more times and she said hello back. I was crying out of joy! My sleepless and restless nights for the past two months really paid off.

I know that sometimes I am still tempted to work immediately or to go on scholarship as I had mentioned in my earlier post. Well, I am still restless and sleepless for two months now (after childbirth). Thanks, God, for giving me the strength to carry on. Our previous househelp already left Continue reading →
