It is every woman's dream to get pregnant. I've been in this quest for more than 6 years now. I've been going to different OB's for the longest time and I find it all so stressful. Though there is this OB that has informed me and my husband to take Glutathione as a supplement this is because my husband had to go abroad for 9 months. Nevertheless, I've still continued on reading blogs and countless forums of ladies out there wanting to have their own little angel.
We've started taking Max GXL (Glutathione Enhancer) for more than a year then switched to C24/7 then added Herbalife Nutrition. Aside from consulting doctors, we still try to live a healthier life.
Since it has been known by few of our friends and neighbors that we've been trying to have a baby. We've been offered a baby three times. The first baby was sadly sold for a price to someone else. Second, my husband is abroad while I work in a retail store, no one will be left at home to take care of the baby. Recently, a couple in the church shared their experience in adopting a child through DSWD. The processing will take about a year but it is better to do things the right way.
Considering all of these, somehow pregnancy and waiting for a child to adopt are just the same. They can both break your heart when things don't turn out the way you hope it to be.
Now, that I'm working at home and only accept project-based jobs. This is the perfect timing. To consider adopting a baby is never a sign of giving up. It's our way of giving a child a better chance in life. So many times I've cried over unwanted babies that has been aborted or thrown into the trash. I believe that there are a lot of couples out there wishing to hold a child into their arms. No one should wait until they're bearing years is over before taking such steps. And now, we are given that opportunity I just hope that this will be positive this time.
February is known to be the 'love month.' Love is in the air, heart is everywhere. Everyone is expected to show their love for one another.
Surely, this will benefit a lot of businesses, restaurants, flower shop, movie houses and the like.
On the other side of it. Is that it create a lot of expectations. With us ladies, imagining how that special day will be. Our partner taking us out on a date, giving a bouquet of roses or chocolates. Great if it happens just the way you imagined it but what if, it doesn't? How will it be then for you?
Women are different from men. We don't think alike, men are about facts while we based everything on how we feel. Feelings that can get hurt when our expectations are not met. Just like the expectations Valentine's Day creates.
We, as women also expect that our men have plans during Valentines. Coming from a family with a father who is very expressive over his love for my mother. I, somewhat expected the same from my husband. For our case, it's the other way around. So this Valentine's Day, I bought him a blue rose and booked a vacation in Nasugbu, Batangas. Crazy, but love is a two way thing. If you're partner can't do what you expected of him then why not plan it yourself? You'll get the same result and have the opportunity to express your love for your partner just the way you would want him to do so.
Some say that in helping others you are also help yourself. Years ago, I've met Aling Nelia, a mother of 11 kids. She collects scraps in our neighborhood. There was never a single day that I didn't see her smile. She has been very positive despite of her situation. After learning that she and her family is getting their livelihood from scraps. I've started saving her the scraps which she can still sell rather than throwing them into the trash. This way I am able to help out without spending a penny.
I've also started asking myself what else I can give. When I look at my house, I've realized that I have too much clutter, stuff that I bought but I never used. So now, I am learning to keep it simple. Stop buying things that I don't need, and to give as much as I can for this is the very reason why we've been blessed.
Now, if you think that you can't help just because you don't have enough money. You're wrong. Complimenting other people, giving out encouragements, sharing your knowledge, giving out the things you don't need can go a long way.
In the past few months, I've been drinking less coffee than I usually do. But with the latest Kopiko Black, I find it hard to resist coffee.
I've joined a Bible Group in our subdivision, during one of our meetings the host offered us Kopiko Black. I've been hooked ever since. It's now part of my grocery list.
Me and my husband maintains a 150-calorie diet in the morning while Kopiko Black has 110 calories. The good thing about coffee is that the coffee itself doesn't have calories on it and it can actually help you burn fats and be energized the whole day.
I always add coffee on our morning shake & afternoon shake. One Kopiko Black is enough for my Banana Shakewhich is good for two less the optional ingredients. This way I can still enjoy the taste of coffee less the guilt.
When we don't have enough time in preparing the our banana shake (at times I'm just being lazy especially when it's early in the morning). We just drink a cup of coffee. It is always best to enjoy a cup of coffee with the one you love.
If you're a coffee addict like me. Better try this now. I'm sure you're going to love it!
Last December, my husband accidentally left the radiator cap open. Our car was working fine but problem arises after this incident. We have already spent over P20,000.00 for repairs and parts replacement. And this January the turbocharger broke.
The technician we spoke to informed us that an oil change should have been done on the Tucson after the car repairs were made due to the overheat. This may have somehow prevented that turbocharger from failing.
The car broke down near a local technician known in our town. He was able to diagnose the problem and informed us that we need to replace the turbocharger. Here in our country, there are only few repair shops that offer repair for turbocharger. There are some that post turbocharger repairs online but will charge you P30,000.00 - P40,000.00 that is just for rebuilding the turbocharger. You'll still need to hire another technician to install the turbocharger back to place.
Before spending over P30,000.00+ for turbocharger replacement. Watch this video and learn to do it yourself!

With this video, we were able to save over P20,000.00+ on turbocharger and just ordered turbocharger cartridge core on eBay. We bought ours from Powertec Autoparts.
Have it shipped and received the parts after 7 days. The best thing about this is, my husband was able to rebuild the turbocharger by himself.

It will take a week before you can adjust to diet like this. But over time, it will be easier for you and then you can add an exercise routine which will also help you to burn more calories and therefore lose more weight. This diet plan is inspired by Herbalife Nutrition. If you have the time and want to get more support as you lose weight. I would suggest talking to a Herbalife Coach near you.
