Mid week

It's mid week already and I'm adjusting to our house help these past few days. Thank God we found a new house help because one week of dragging the little kiddo at the parent's house after her class every morning is not advisable, especially if the weather is not good. The little kiddo even caught a cough and cold because of constant traveling. Been busy also lately because of work and I'm thinking a lot these days. I can't help but worry about my health and if it will affect my future. Oh well, I'll just keep on praying.

Home

My SIL and her husband will be going to the States in two months to visit my MIL there. My BIL whose also there living with the MIL said that they plan to get their own house very soon. I think it's great idea so that we will not worry about paying the rent every month. It would also serve as an investment if the MIL, together with the FIL would retire someday. I'm looking at manufactured home online which they offer big discounts. I wonder if the BIL would be interested on this.

WORD of the day

cavalcade/kav-ul-KAYD/; noun

: Any dramatic sequence or procession; a series

Example Sentences: There was a cavalcade of errors throughout the network, which confused the entire team for awhile.

The cavalcade of motor vehicles up and down Quezon Avenue can sometimes be physically painful to see.

Did you know?

When "cavalcade" was first used in English, it meant "a horseback ride" or "a march or raid made on horseback.” From there came the "procession of riders" meaning and eventual applications to processions in a broader sense.

Comparative Forms in English

Comparative and superlative forms are used to compare and contrast different objects in English.

Use the comparative forms to show the difference between two objects: New York is more dangerous than Seattle.

Use the superlative form when speaking about three or more objects to show which object is the most of anything: New York is the most dangerous city I’ve been to!

Here are a few little things to remember when constructing sentences using the comparative form.

For one syllable adjectives

Add er to the end of the adjective, like this:

Hot=hotter/cheap=cheaper/high=higher

For two syllable adjectives ending in “y”

Remove the “y” and add “ier”.

Happy=happier/funny=funnier

For Two, three, or more syllable adjectives

Place the word “more” before these adjectives.

Manila is more crowded than Baguio

This test will be more difficult than the previous one.

Now there are some exceptions to these rules. Aren’t there always? Have a look.

Do not use “gooder” or “more good” when using the comparative form of this word. Simply change it to “better”.

The same thing goes with the word “bad”. Use “worse” for the comparative form.

Bazaar

Few months to go and we'll be hitting the World Trade Center for the biggest sale this coming Holiday season. My sister is planning to continue her Bazaar booth this year, I thinking of selling some items myself. I've contacted my MIL in the States so she can buy me wholesale clothing from where she's working right now. Then we'll have it shipped come November in preparation for the said event. I better file a leave on that week because I want to be there the whole time. This might be the business I wanted to pursue. We'll see.

New Cam

I finally bought a digital camera last Sunday and I started to shoot again this afternoon at the little angel's Mother Earth parade. I'm so loving the new features it has. It's a bit pricey compare from my old one, but it's all worth it. I super love the panorama option and I can't stop bragging about it haha. With the cam at hand, I'm so ready for our Caramoan trip this coming August. Which reminds to double my work out and not forget to take my fat burner pills so I'll look smashing on our trip.

Acne no more

I remembered two months ago, I was very frustration with the way my skin looked. I had so many breakouts that I don't want to see my face in the mirror. I tried practically everything they sell in the market but nothing worked. So I gather all my courage and walk-in in the local derm house near our place. I under went acne treatment for 5 sessions and bought medicines for maintenance. And the dermatologist was right, my frustrations went away when my face cleared up. Now, my confidence is back and on high level. I'm glad I listened to my instincts.

Diet-away

We re-scheduled out Bicol in August because some of us will not be able to join on July 25 and 26. And I was the one who requested to re-schedule the said trip because we have a team outing on that same date and I don't want to miss that too. I already got the underwater digicam I wanted for the trip but there's still things we need and I haven't purchase them yet. But the good part is that I have more time to diet-away and exercise. That reminds me, I need to get diet pill from my friend. She said, it's the best fat burner in the market.

You're the 1, Goldilocks!

Being blessed with a baby girl is the most wonderful gift we received. That's why we always make sure that we give only the best. That's why when we prepared for our daughter's first birthday, we made sure it'll be worth remembering. My mom and I both prepared the giveaways, prizes and loot bags. My sisters help too by making the banner, invitations print outs and guest books. But a birthday is not complete with a birthday cake so we decided to go to Goldilocks because we know it'll be perfect with the Princess themed party and they did a great job. You're the 1 Goldilocks because, our cake was the cream of the crop and the most admired by everybody. I was thankful we made the right decision. Now we plan to get another character party themed cake on her birthday, I can't wait!

Gym @ home

Every Saturday morning, my mom and dad would jog a couple of kilometers at Quezon City circle. They've been doing this ever we were small because they want to stay fit and strong. But as the time pass, sometimes it's a hassle to go out already. That's why my sister thought of getting home gyms for our parents. We already got the mini gym and the treadmill and we still plan to buy the stationary bike. We plant to stay fit and healthy. It's our biggest investment.

Interior

I received a call from my sister yesterday saying that she and her husband is on their way Pampanga for field inspection. Both of them are Architects and is also accepting Interior services. And their recent project is a multi purpose building with a nice swimming pool. I heard my dad went to the site too and helped with the Interior. I told them to take pictures so we can also see it from here. I'm thrilled to see the outdoor pillows my sister was talking about the other day. She said, it really matches the color of the wall.
