Cruising June 28, 2009

Filed under: Uncategorized — Aisha @ 8:48 PM

Steven always dream of going on a cruises. I would love to also because I think it’s way different than what our ships are in the Philippines. Cruising is like a beautiful holiday getaway. I just get scared of the sea sometimes and also there are times when I get seasick. Of course, I’ll be with someone I love who will take good care of me. Hope someday we’ll get to be able to fulfill this dream of my husband.

Steven asked me on a date at a Greek restaurant called Anatolia’s. This was the appetizer we tried. It’s deep fried goat cheese with lemon. It’s really oily but it was good. This is for my entry for Yummy Sunday.

I have always wanted to buy my dad a motorcycle cover. He owns one motorcycle and I really want him to be able to take good care of it. I checked online for several motorcycle covers and found one that I really like. I bet he’ll be surprise if I get him one. I don’t know why men love motorcycles. My dad adores them so much. I know one female friend who does like it. She is from Indonesia and she could drive the motorcycle like crazy. standard_motorcycle_cover

 

Selling Projects June 24, 2009

I have been working on my cross stitch project lately. I am so close to finishing it. I do need to make small projects to see online. If ever I will be into selling my stuff, I might need a receipt printer. That would be so cool to have. I need more cross stitch threads though so I can get started and won’t have to go to shops to buy more. It’s so far in here and it’s tiring to take the bus.

Burn It! June 13, 2009

Sometimes I feel it’s hard to bend because I can feel my layer of fats.I feel really shy about it! I have to check which is the best fat burner reviews online to see if I could try one. I want to look good for my husband. I have been doing workouts already and my husband says I look good. I notice my tummy doesn’t look that big anymore. People usually ask me if I’m pregnant. I hope when I go home to the Philippines, I will be slimmer.

 

Eye Cream June 6, 2009

Filed under: Uncategorized — Aisha @ 10:16 AM

Do you ever use eye cream? I have recently been using one. I hardly use any products for my face except natural ones because I’m scared of the side effects. There’s a site called eye cream reviews  that you can check out and read if ever you want to find out which eye cream is suitable for you. I usually like finding out what other people have to say about the product so I’ll know if it’s safe for me or not. If I’m in the Philippines, I would use ripe papaya as eye cream. It will slow down the wrinkle appearance around the eyes.

My friend were talking about natural appetite suppresant. I didn’t tell them to try what my friend told me yet because I have to try it. It would be nice to try some appetite suppressants sold the site I found. I’m eating almost the whole cantaloup now, I just love it so much! They’re on sale at Safeway for a dollar per fruit. Really good deal. I need to go and buy more today, hope they are still on sale.
