Body Challenge ~ 12 weeks

Last week my daughter was sick, she had diarrhea and was vomiting. But, now she is eating pretty good and her rashes is going away.

I stayed home with my sick 10 month old daughter. I stopped going to the gym for one week. The nursery, at the gym, will not allow me to leave her there; it's for the safety and health of the other children.

It's amazing, I was inactive but I am not gaining at all. Last night, I checked my weight. Wow! I lost four more pounds, for a total of twenty pounds after twelve weeks, of this challenge.

Intimate Pose

A friend of mine sent me this image thru email and there is an explanation on it.

I think all of you have seen an intimate pose, right?

But, research has shown that young children cannot identify the intimate couple because they do not have prior memory associated with such a scenario.

What they will see, however, is the dolphins in the picture!

But, when I first glance on this image, I saw an intimate couple. It took time for me to figure out though. Now, find the dolphins in six (6) seconds? And then, tell me how many dolphins are they.

Time Changes

This morning at eight o’clock he had an interview for PRN position meaning as needed job. Right now, he has two PRN and one permanent job. Wow, we will get rich soon, hahaha. As time goes by children are growing they need a house, have their own room and everything. So he better work his butt than doing nothing, hehehe, just kidding.

This is what happened this morning. We went to his interview which was an hour drove. We left in the apartment around 6:55am so that we will arrive there at exactly eight o’clock. Let me tell you we arrived at seven o’clock, yup, yup, we are an early bird huh? Time changes so, everything change too.

We had breakfast there at Hardees, am I advertising here? Breakfast was not part of our plan, here comes Raquel was eating a lot.

  • We ordered three burritos with a beef, cheese & egg in it. It was yummy but fattening though.
  • A combo breakfast meal, it’s a sandwich with ham & egg.

That was a huge breakfast because we never thought the burrito was a large size. We asked the crew how big or small the burrito but she said it’s a small, hmmm, I think its small for her.

And now, I am blaming the time changes because if we arrive there at exactly eight o’clock, then, I can’t eat all those fattening foods. I am not really on a diet but as much as possible I will limit my intake.

8 Steps?

March 11, it was amazing, my daughter started walking for eight steps without holding on the wall.

It was really cute and a poor little baby because she was trying to walked. You will see her knees are shaking. Everytime she does something, I am very much excited, I said, wow, this is new again.

I wish my family in the Philippines will see her soon. My two sisters, younger brother and my Papa are very excited to meet her. She is the only one niece and grandchild.

Tomato is a Fruit

"KNOWLEDGE is when you know that a tomato is a fruit, WISDOM is when you know not to put it in a fruit salad." - from Journal for Alexander Technique

I thought tomato is a vegetable, crap, what a wrong information. I don't know if my family knows about that and others. I think we come up that tomato is a vegetable because we will see this on the garden.

The question is - Why is a tomato a fruit and not a vegetable? And what is the difference between a vegetable and a fruit?

I searched on the internet what is the difference of these two. This is according to "Vanhoeck".

"Botanically speaking, anything that bears seeds is a fruit. The fruit formsfrom the reproductive part of the plant, i.e., the flower. The ovary of theflower becomes the fruit and inside the seeds form. So a tomato comes fromthe flower and inside are the seeds. So it is a fruit. A nut is a seed andthe shell is the fruit. Anything from a part of the plant that is not theflower is vegetative, i.e., does not reproduce. So leaves, stems and rootsare vegetables. So lettuce, carrots and potatoes are vegetables...vanhoeck"

New Home

Raq comes from my name, Raquel and mitch is the first syllable of my marital name.

I want to welcome myself to this new url with a new friends too. I had a lot of friends online but most of them are giving me hearthaches. I think it is better this way, only stick to a friend who will give you happiness. If you don't like that person and you know they don't like you too, why is it pretending with each other? Just for the sake to have friends and commenters?

I understand, sometimes, we must be the other person, for some purposes. Why can't people just be truthful? Why can't we be ourself, no matter how we are. Actually we don't need to care about what others think of us, be urself, you will be happy everyday. Trust me, that's what I'm doin everyday.

This site is a place where I share my experiences, my insights, my journey to motherhood and as a wife.

Life, for me, is about play: playing with new ideas, consciously playing with energy, and playing at being who I am.

Welcome new friends...I am easy to get along with.

Welcome Stalkers

I'm bothered by something recently. I dunno why people are such so sophisticated, well, which I meant hiding themselves from their real personality.

Anyway, this is all about my tracker. I set it into a privacy level, in which my visitors can't see my site reports and my site will not be displayed on any public lists. But if you are wise enough, even you set this in a high level privacy, you can still be track. If you think the owner set like this, I think you should not open it and respect their privacy.

I've been testing them(?) for many times but they kept following me. I pay one of my tracker just for clarification because maybe I was wrong but I was right they are still following my footsteps. I dunno why maybe, they want to know my statistic. Hey man, I am not popular, so I don't have a lot of visitors.

Two blogs that I maintain for right now, I installed a tracker in each of them, so that I will know who visited in each blog. But what I am doing now is, I installed both tracker in each blog, hahaha, just to track them if they will follow me.

I think I will stop testing them, instead of I will get upset, I guess I should be happy then, because, someone is stalking, meaning they are interested with me, hehehehe. You know what, I am happy of what they were doing.

A hyper-active baby, she was sleepy laying on my arm but every five minutes she went to her playing table and play the music.

Big Mess

Maria likes to make a big mess around the room, but I bet you didn't know what a real piggy she is. I think I mentioned before she puts everything in her mouth. What I am afraid off, what if I drop a coin from my pocket then she will eat it? Oh, I hope not.
