I'm hosting FUN Monday next week...woohoo!

My theme or topic is something that just came out and I apologize in advance if you find it a bit corny...but hey, I'd wish you all would participate as they say, being corny sometimes helps us stay young at heart! ;)

For next week --

Let's talk about TEARS. What images spring to mind when you hear the word ‘tears’? Have you ever had tears of laughter and tears of joy? When was the last time you had tears of joy? Tears of laughter? Tell us about it!

Mr. Linky seems to have issues again...so for now just let me know in the comment section and I will just manually list your link here. Thanks!

Uñas Azules

Ha! I painted my nails blue. My friends couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it. One day they'll get over it as I'll get over it. (My diary entry for June 15, 1996)

Though this photo is quite recent looking at it brought me back the times when I was still getting the feel of painting nails. LOL

Happy Wordless Wednesday everyone...

P.S. I am joining What's Cooking Wednesday at my Beyond You site. If you love veggies you may check the recipe out there later.

Source of Strength

Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities,

in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions,

in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

- 2 Corinthians 12:10

If there is something my Grandparents inculcated in my being this is it! My trip last week though it made me skip Word Filled Wednesday and other regular commitments I have here it afforded me more time reading the Bible. It was an immersion at work and a retreat for me at the same time. And for whatever reason I was lead to this verse several times and thus today I'm just making a shout out of what's been pre-occupying me and my source of strength over the past days.

I wish you all a blessed Wednesday!

My Manila Trip

My apologies for missing Tuesday's Tales last week. Unlike my past tales which are rather nostalgic, this week's Tuesday Tales is about my very recent trip to Manila.

Though I have said it many times here that my visit was rather business and that it did not afford me time to see Manila I'm so glad I did find time meeting some good friends there.

I met my pilot friend and it was a nice brief meeting with him... ;)

Then I had dinner with Jing at a Chinese restaurant. It was a short dinner as I still have to go to work after but it was a good get together for us.

Then...on Friday evening I went to visit R's house. R is a friend of the IT Guy and well he is also very IT. I met Jing through him. He sent his driver to pick me up after my meeting at around 10pm or so...and I had a late dinner at his place. I did not know he can cook! He made some nice pasta and barbecue. I love the dips he made or not sure now if he has a better name for it...all I know is it went well with the salad and the barbecue. LOL And the drink...hmmm vodka and lychee...yummy!

After dinner we drove around Manila and dragged the kids to join us. I almost felt bad for them as they seem to be sleepy...but well looks like the Dad really did know his kids because it did not take long for them to up! ;)

We visited The Fort and well as I've mentioned in my other post while waiting for my boarding...he saved my day because he found me some Krispy Kreme. We had some quick bites there and I had some coffee.

Here are some photos of me with R's lovely daughters!

They drove me to Makati after as I have another meeting at around 1AM. I was supposed to have my meeting quick so I can still join them but well...my meeting with the boss dragged on til 15 minutes to 7AM.

So with a heavy heart I had to call R to tell him to just go home with the kids. It so happened that I was my second cup of coffee with the boss at Greenbelt so it was a bit convenient for them to bring my Krispy Kreme.

So we had to bid farewell...and call it a night.

I wanted to joke that I'm the eldest of these three pretty girls...but then, R is really too young to be my Dad. LOL

See?

Can you believe that his man is the Dad of these three ladies?!

Oh well...

So that's it! Now I have something to look forward to every time I go to Manila...I just love his kids very much. Very pretty...respectful...well discipline and smart! I'm still trying to convince R to let them study college here in Cebu. LOL

Okay...that's it for my Tuesday's Tales. Please sign up below if you have some tales to share this week.

Quest To Be Fit

IT Guy is wanting to have his weight loss program. My stand on the matter is well...it's just discipline and dedication. He says easy for me to say.

When I met the IT Guy many years, oh boy he's the one who can make a jaw dropped. When got busy with me...he missed gym and his diet was ruined...so he gained weight. Good thing he never blamed me for it. LOL

Anyway...with my new job I believe he will have more time for himself now so he can go back to the gym. I will be very busy with work and well less time for me to bother him. Gym will not solve all of it though...he needs some dietary programs I guess.

So anyone of you heard of ProtiDiet? Well protidiet is a line of weight loss supplements that are marketed toward men and women that emphasize protein and so far we've read good reviews...and I saw some protidiet cookie bars and it looks yummy...just that it's less carb and rich in protein. So perfect for his needs...I guess.

Anyway I told him to check his nutritionist to be sure...and meantime, I'd appreciate feedback from people who are familiar with this product.
