Would you know if Amazon is shipping good in the Philippines?

I recently checked the site and I wanted a bag and a couple of books but I am really not sure if they are shipping in Manila or how much would it really cost. I have tried buying online for a couple of sites for my scrapbook materials when I was still doing traditional scrapbooking but they are not from Amazon. I would really love to know if someone have actually tried and how long did it take?

I have always been an online customer. Most of the items I buy are online. Transactions are easy and I don’t have to go to the mall and look for it all over. It has it’s disadvantages though as you can’t really see the actual product until it is shipped but so far I have never had any bad experience nor did I get any unsatisfactory products from buying online. It was a all good for me.

So far, I have gotten good reviews when buying at Amazon and I think the site has a good reputation so I might be a regular customer there too once I learn that they are shipping goods to Manila. Can’t wait!

I missed sleeping until late in the morning. Whew! This weekend, I will definitely take some time to rest and sleep well. I have never been able to sleep properly during the last couple of weeks. For some reasons, I do stay awake until 1-2AM even on weekdays and getting myself to sleep is the hardest thing to do.  I can already see my eyebags getting more more and visible. I might need to go check some eye cream reviews to see products that might help improve it.

I will definitely enjoy this weekend. Will sleep until late morning tomorrow and will go out with hubby and the kids. It’s play time once again and the girls are excited. I’m just a little worried because Scieszka still has fever this evening and if it persist until tomorrow, we might need to bring her to the doctor for a check. She’s been complaining about her tummy too but I can never really tell what’s going on. It’s a good thing she was able to go to sleep without any problems.

Oh I terribly missed the weekend. Aren’t there any holiday next week? LOL! I wanted to rest a bit more but work is really tough these days and I have to be in the office. I just do hope this year turns out to be a positive one for me and husband. I usually don’t expect too much about work laddering but I can’t help getting envious of those who have been recently promoted. I do have my lapses though – and it has been my constant weakness but believe me, despite that – I can still do a better job.

Let’s just hope for the best and enjoy the weekend!

Literally! Vision is blurred and feeling a little dizzy while on the go. And it’s all because my eyeglasses’ nose pad got broke over the weekend. Sheeesh!

I was getting in and out of the shop while waiting for the parade and when it finally came, there was nothing much to see but a bunch of supporters wearing their campaign shirts. Kinda disappointing considering it should be a Thanksgiving Parade. Oh well, election is just around the corner so it is to be expected.

The girls are getting quite uncomfortable with the heat and the not-so-colorful parade so I was putting them in the shop every so often to keep their cool. Alas, I noticed my glasses are a bit tilted to the right and when I took it off, man the nose pad is gone! Arrrghhh! I was supposed to be able to live without it but just recently, I noticed I became even more dependent to it. My vision probably have worsened because of too much activity in front of the computer.

Anyway, I am contemplating over buying a new glasses or have this one repaired as I am not really comfortable with it anymore. I should probably be on the lookout for some discount prescription eyeglasses available.  I have not been so disturbed like this but I guess getting old has its side effect too. Am I that old already????

I am not complaining. I wanted to make it clear before I got into some misinterpretations. Life is really tough and this is the one thing that all of us could possibly agree. Rich or poor, there is always something  that will eventually stress us out. As for me, I can’t clearly identify.

I have always felt that I am very very tired. Not fed up, just plain tired. I am a person who don’t get to sleep so easily and whenever I close my eyes and fell asleep, it will always be like I am half-awake. Not a good sleep really and I think that’s what I need the most. I have always been against taking vitamins plainly because I just don’t like it but now, I think I need to have some vitamin supplement to keep me going. Besides, I am no longer young. I won’t be like I used to be anymore. I like to sleep more and rest more to gain energy for the next day because work and family will be waiting for me.

Life isn’t easy after all and each of us must do our responsibilities to survive and live the life we wanted to have.

Reality really bites. My pimples are here again, coming out of my cheeks, nose, chin, forehead, and even scalp. It’s making me irritated. It came back after I stopped using my OCP.

I had pimples kinda late. Normal teenagers get pimples by age 13, or 15 but me, I started having one at age 19. The first pimple I had made me absent for 3 days from the university. You could imagine my disappointment back then. Only one and it’s already killing me out of shame. But somehow, I came to accept the fact that more are surfacing and that I can no longer deny that I am having a major pimple outbreak. I never tried everything back then for I believe that maintaining a clean face has always been a solution. I never used anything on my face. I am such a pathetic believer. LOL!

The pimples did not stop coming and until I am already working, it’s still there. When I was about to get married, I decided I’d consult a dermatologist because even the best acne face wash is giving up on me. And then I discovered Clinica Dermatologica by Dra. Isabel Lopez-Nazal. She was very kind and thoughtful and whenever she’s in the clinic, she made sure to touch base with her clients. That’s what I love about her. My skin was treated for 6 months continuously and I was glowing the day I got married. It was worth every penny.

After I gave birth, I took oral contraceptive pills to avoid pregnancy and the pill made wonders to my skin. I did not have a single pimple for 3 years and I only need to moisturize, no cleansers, no toners, just plain moisturizer and I love it. But then, I had to give up the OCP after 3 years due to some misconception about the medicine. Arrrgghhh, the pimples came back in no time and it’s such a pain to see myself in the mirror every single day.

I had a check with my OB-Gyne the other day and she said it’s ok to continue the OCP so I might. I wanted to gain that clean look on my face again. :p
