BLOGGITYBOOP!

At first, I wanted to skip this week's MM because the theme was Mother's Day and I really don't have much to share about that day.  I started that day (it was actually 'night' because we were all still awake during the wee hours of the morning) with a hug, a kiss, and a greeting from hubby... The End...  Actually, I was a bit sad that day since I wasn't able to visit my Mom and give her something. I just called her up to greet her and to tell her that I love her. That's it. I also didn't receive a card or a flower from hubby **sigh** and my babies are... well, babies, so they couldn't possibly come up with a card. However, I really appreciate all the bloggers, online friends, and "offline friends" :) who extended their greetings to me. I really felt remembered with all the FB photo tagging, wall posts, and mails. Before I started making this post, I read Mommy Chris' MM entry and she noted that we should write about why this year...

Being a mom works like magic... You'll be capable of doing things you never thought you could do... You will always say 'I can' even when the task at hand seems to be impossible... and you'll be able to do everything - anything - for your kids.  My inspiration are my three lovely princesses... my angels. They give me the incredible strength and the uncrushable will to smile, laugh, fight, work, strive, and be better at everything that I do. My love for them has made me a better person and each day we spend together makes my life more meaningful and worth living. "A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path." - Agatha Christie This is my official entry to Mommy Chris' Inspirational Insights giveaway  

Stretch marks are caused by damaged dermis - these are tears and scars on the layers of the skin. Sadly, I belong to the 80% of women who gained these unwanted marks during pregnancy - apart from the additional 60 pounds (now just 15).  At times, I look at my tummy and it seems that it's not really part of my body - it's like a pile of crumpled skin pasted on me (ok, maybe I'm exaggerating - a bit). But the point is - It's really ugly. My body has grown thin but my tummy has retained the bulge - or rather the excess stretched-skin with some fat. That is why some people mistake me still as 2 months pregnant. hay...  Anyway, I'm glad Entrepremom has this Love Thyself promo. She's giving away Mosbeau Placenta White 500mg (120 tablets) worth P1,340 (which promotes healthy skin) and Slenda Weight Loss Pills 350mg 90 capsules worth P1,080. I would like to try those products and see if they would work on me. I know the marks won't completely disappear if not ...

My fave summer activity is to go on out-of-town trips...  When I was still single, I was fond of moving around. I was a wanderer. I wanted to be on the road - all the time. In fact, I made it a point to be on the road once every week. I couldn't care less where I was going. What mattered to me was that I was 'traveling'.  I often visited Antipolo, Batangas, Laguna, Olongapo, and most of all - Baguio. Most of the time, I go alone - just to relax and explore. Now, I super miss those places and I do wish that I can start moving around again.... ***sigh*** if only there was a nanny... I'd like to go to Tagaytay again or to Cebu, with the babies... Anyway, this post is actually for a giveaway - Lizz' giveaway. She'll be giving away nail, lips, and skin care items for this month of May and the set includes... **Three bottles of Johnson & Johnson Body Care products: UV Lotion, Daily Calming Lotion, and Lasting Moisture Body Lotion-- all are full sized (20...
