The Shopaholic In Me » All about me http://lookshoplist.com Braving myself to great finds everywhere Wed, 08 Feb 2012 01:06:33 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.3 Career Improvement… http://lookshoplist.com/2011/01/08/career-improvement/ http://lookshoplist.com/2011/01/08/career-improvement/#comments Fri, 07 Jan 2011 16:38:01 +0000 Jody http://lookshoplist.com/?p=1657 It was a great 2010 for me last year. And this year is starting right with the influx of events just for this month. I am grateful for all the blessings. This is what I really love about my job, there is always room for enchacement and improvement. In the next couple of months, I am thinking to check out the online degree programs available related to my career. This would be in connection with the 5-year plan the husband and I have been thinking. Yes, we just finished a couple of days back our annual planning session and further education for both of us is something we are looking at.  I think it isn’t too late still.  Now, I am getting excited.

And motor accident could be one of them. I was a victim of vehicular article few months back when a reckless truck driver hit the back of my car. It was a total inconvenience on my part. We had to go through the process of police report, trials and claims since the truck wasn’t insured. Getting an accident lawyer could really make a difference. A denver accident lawyer could definitely assist on matters like this. You need a good representation to be able to compensate yourself properly with the damages you incurred for yourself and even to the vehicle.

I thought it is already the lean season but seems like the peak month is just starting. I am totally overload. But I can’t complain enough (except for some wrinkles coming out in the sides of my eyes because of stress, thanks to prototype 37c anyway ) since these are blessings from above. It is always better to be busy rather than do nothing at all. I hope I could recover soon from some sleepless nights because of too much paper work. Wishing next week is better already.

A chocolate tower from Claim Jumper.
bdaycake
It is super yummy! I think it is about 6 inches thick of chocolate overload with walnuts. With the price of $30, it is super worth it. Now, I think I need some diet pills to lose all the extra pounds I gained from this trip.  I better check in the mall what’s the best one out there.

This picture was taken by Margaux inside our van in one of our road trips. I think we were on our way to Las Vegas here. Who said I need an acne cleanser? Thank goodness, my skin didn’t change at all while we were vacationing. Margaux loves to take pictures. I think she got that interest from her dad. Amazingly, she takes nice pictures as well. Bianca is so cute on that big sunglasses!

That’s probably the culprit for the 6 pounds I already increased on my weight. Too bad! I would probably need now a very effective weightloss pill that can shed right away those extra pounds. I better check the reviews online.  Any recommendations?  I also need to plan out my diet when I get back to Manila otherwise it would be hard to loosen up those extra pounds again.

She already contacted me this week to reconfirm the spelling of my name since she is already preparing for her wedding invitations. They said it is bad luck to turn down such request so I don’t have much choice. My only consolation is that I would have a chance to wear a gown from one of my favorite designers ;) Good thing I still have much time to really get back to shape so I would at least look decent on a formal wear.

I have sold few of my old bags including some designer ones. Last week, I cleared up those clothes that the girls have not been wearing anymore. I still have to clean some more to have new space for the stuff we would get in the US. I am surprised that the kids’ clothes were sold in an instant through flickr. Now, I need to clear up Dicky’s closet this time. I am thinking to dispose those number of shirts he has and even neckties and bow ties that he seldom use. He has large variety of designs for those and I’m pretty sure he would get new ones when we travel this May. It feels so good to de-clutter sometime. You feel that some extra baggages are disposed off, making way for new purchases ;)

It’s finally, finally here! The wait is over! Happiness to the max! Was so happy when I got a text message last friday that my package was ready for pick-up in JAC-Megamall. I really had to rush there after my late night meeting to beat the closing time. Glad I made it.

Yes, they said it is sweeter when you wait and it is indeed! I am overwhelmed actually after seeing what’s inside this box ;) To say that it is a beauty is an understatement, lol! Really, can’t explain but it is drop-down super mega over gorgeous! :P :-D

I’m happy I made the right decision and choice.  Thanks to friends who helped me through this ordeal, lol! (you know girls who you are)

It was really worth the wait! Can’t contain my joy! ;)

Your Holiday Personality is Spiritual


It doesn’t matter if you’re religious or not… the holidays carry deep spiritual meaning for you.You like to take this time to reflect on your life. 

You act deliberately and conscientiously during every day of the year – and even more so during the holidays. 

While you like giving and getting gifts as much as anyone else, you do your best not to overspend or overconsume.

You also take time to connect with the natural world during the holidays- whether that means playing in the snow or planting your Christmas tree.

Almost towards the end of my 2nd week. Still a challenging diet especially without the “sweets” but I’m happy with results…down to 6lbs now! Slowly, I’m gonna get there! ;)


Your Fitness Type: Playful


You enjoy exercise as long as it doesn’t feel like work.     

Working out is your playtime, and you’re up for any exercise that’s fun. 

Try exercise that involves a little friendly competition, like basketball, softball, or volleyball.

Or you may even like exercising with a fitness video game. Anything that makes you feel like a kid again.

Waah!. I would have yet to try it. But I like my hair now anyhow. And I am still planning to go back to her. I had a best and longest shampoo time in their salon!!! Sarap! hehehe.

To see my new look, just hover my other blog. Didnt bother to get yet a picture of myself! lol!

Hairstyle of Ellen DeGeneres

Hairstyle of Emma Stone
 

Hairstyle of Katie Holmes

Hairstyle of Selma Blair

Do I look funny? Ok, I know the risk of making myself look like a “siopao” but I’m so eager to get really short hair this time. (last time I did, I just graduated from college) So what do you think would work best for me?

What do you mean, none at all? (bwahaha!)
