After a couple of months, am back working. Oh how time flies indeed! It felt like I just got pregnant, but lookie now, I’m back to work and my baby will be 2 months old in a couple of days.  Oh where  have the days gone by? Next thing we’ll know it will be Christmas and we’ll all be sending presents and photo Christmas cards.

Anyway, it’s good to see everyone in the office again. There isn’t much changes in the workplace but there’s been a lot of changes in the network. And so here I am, trying to re-acquaint myself on the routines, the process (I welcome the opportunity to learn new things) and my cubbyhole, which housed some of my personal belongings.

Speaking of which, I have forgotten that I have lots of toilettries left in my cubbyhole. And most of them I haven’t used since I got pregnant (because I’ve been too cautious touching chemicals). But now, I’m trying them out one by one once again. One of which is this Burt’s Beeswax product, the Hand Creme.

To my surprise, there’s still a lot in the jar. And when I applied some, the faint banana scent reminded me of old times. I love that scent. The only things that mars the moment is the fact that I hate the feeling greasy. And greasy, this hand creme surely is.
And

I heard of the best acne cream in town and I’m off to find out what it is, but before that, let me share this link that has helped our Sydney trip less stressful.

It’s the www.131500.info.

It’s a site that has helped us get direction and find our way around New South Wales. All we have to do is plot our current location and the destination we wish to go and it will suggest the transport path/ directions we take. Cool huh!

I reckon it’s no use turning the house upside down just to look for this one. So the last time I went to the mall, I made sure to drop by a Bench outlet to pick up a new sanitizer. I didn’t get the same sanitizer though (but I got the blue version for my son).

For myself, I got this instead.

Love its scent. I bet even the smell of cigars on the hands can be eliminated with it.

Actually, I chose this Bratsplash Raspberry Crush Instant Hand Sanitizer with Moisturizing Aloe because this one matches the scent I’m currently using, the Bratsplash Raspberry Crush Body Spray.

So early in the morning and I am reading about fat burner components. But as much as I want to finish everything, I could not read more of these at the moment since I’m bringing my son to school. At the moment I am also trying to place an order at the Indogomanila site because most of our Indigo products, such as the Shoo Fly Don’t Bother Me, YummyMummy Cocoa Butter, Spellbath Salt  are almost depleted. SO gotta be back later to do some reading…

My son’s doctor recommended Calmoseptine Ointment (Zinc Oxide plus Calamine) for us to use on him  when he gets those itchy things on his neck. Prickly heat it was, the doctor said.

But when we bought the ointment, we found out it’s not only good for prickly heat. Calmoseptine, “a multipurpose moisture barrier ointment which protects, soothes, and helps promote healing,” is also ideal for skin irritations caused by urine (diaper rash), perspiration, wound, impetigo, minor burns, cuts, scrapes, chafing, hemorrhoids, fungus infection, allergic rashes… Very effective in managing/relieving skin itching, it could also be used as treatment for eczema. We’ve been using it in insect bites and pimples too.

Where is my sanitizer?

Funny how right after I took this shot with my cam phone, I was no longer able to see it. Have you seen it? Or did someone stole it? But nah, I don’t think so. I mean, true that it’s a great cleanser, having mild scent and all. But who could be interested in my almost depleted hand sanitizer?

After my brother (who used to work in Korea) introduced us to Aloe Vera drinks, I have to admit that I’m kinda hooked on them. Just love its taste. Before finding out a locally made aloe vera drink, I usually buy the imported ones from Korea.

Now, I’m buying these.

It is has a mango taste to it but like the Korean brands I used to buy, it has aloe vera bits too. This Alo Aloe Vera drink, containing Collagen, L-carnitine and Vitamin E, boasts of helping in keeping the skin healthy and youthful. But at the moment, I still cannot say anything about that though I’m aware Collagen and Vitamin E are great for the skin. L-Carnitine, they also say, helps burn fat so maybe this would be great for those trying to trim down their bodies. So we’ll see.

Okay gotta scoot now and read some Clinicallix reviews. I know I’ll surely be a learning a thing or two about losing weight, although I still cannot do that at the moment.

There’s really a hundred and one reason why I dig Smartmoney, the reloadable card that can be accessed thru a mobile phone (using a Smart mobile SIM). But today, as I am busy checking some laptops, let me just name a few.

First, I can easily withdraw my money from BDO ATMs nationwide.It definitely works just like any ATM cards.

Then, I can quickly transfer money from my bank to my Smartmoney. This means, I can just bring my Smartmoney and keep my other bank cards (as long as they’re linked to my SIMs mobile banking) whenever I go out. Or I can quickly transfer money to friends or relatives by just tapping my keypads (how cool is that!).

I also can reload/buy Smart airtime with my card.

It functions like a debit/cash  card and more establishments these days accept Smartmoney as form of payment.

And lately, we can now use our Smartmoney card for online transactions.  Really awesome! :-)

But most of all, the best thing about Smartmoney is… okay, I’ll tell you all about it next time.

For the meantime, to learn more about the SmartMoney card, please read this.

How would you feel when the resto where you’ve just eaten your lunch/dinner has no comfort room?  Is it okay with you? Or would you feel pissed?

Normally, I would be okay with this AS LONG as there’s a comfort room nearby. But if there is none, then that doesn’t seem right, ayt? But I’ll still have a little tolerance –in some cases.

But yesterday, I was so pissed when I found out that Mang Inasal-SM CDO has no CR within its premises. Given that: I  am pregnant and I can barely hold some water in the bladder; I have just eaten a full meal along with a big drink(!); and then,  I couldn’t walk as fast as my brain can think, can you even imagine how mortified I was just knowing they have no CR in there?  The walk to the mall CR was really a big inconvenience!

Sigh, sigh. Okay, enough of this verbal diarrhea, I better check some car insurance companies now. And oh before I forget, I do love eating at Mang Inasal. Their chicken are simply roasted to heavenly goodness!

I’m honestly itching to ride the treadmill or elliptical again.  Or to indulge in some sort of exercise other than walking. I miss going to the gym and sweat it out like crazy. Lol. But because I cannot do so at the moment, let me just get the most out of yoga. Yup, yoga. I love Yoga!

But since I have an erratic shifting work schedule and cannot attend a real Yoga class although I’d love to, I’m happy I found a Yoga CD to help me with the exercise. Found the Yoga Zone Posture for Pregnancy five years ago, in one of my mall trips and I couldn’t be more glad.

Specially designed for pregnant women, the CD teaches about stretching exercises that can easily be done. It also includes valuable postures that can be helpful in alleviating back aches which preggy moms frequently experience as well as postures and breathing exercises that are useful during labor.

I have been using this CD since my first pregnancy and I can safely say it has helped me a lot during my labor with my firstborn. With it and with God’s help, I am  hopeful that the exercises I’ve learned from this Yoga CD will also help me get through my second delivery easily and safely.
