Ben & Jerry’s Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

Girls, girls, girls!

Once hormones kicked-in we are craving for some kind of taste, right? So last April, I am craving for ice cream and cheesecake.

When we are doing our weekly grocery at FairPrice at Clementi Mall, I saw a non-familiar flavor of Ben Jerry's in its fridge, its the Strawberry Cheesecake. So lucky, it's on a promotion $19.90 for two.

I am quite hesitant for this will be my first time to get into it. But, OMG! This really excites my taste buds. It is my favorite taste of strawberry gelato bind by the cheesecake crust.

After I finished it all, I ask Abbey to buy one more, but this time for both of us.

Thanks to Ben & Jerry's for this concoction.

Pantene Pro-V Intensive Treatment Total Care

When I announced my intention to curl my hair, many were approved it but many also were worried. The issues that was pointed out by my siblings and friends were... what if the curls will not be look so nice for me, what if my beautiful crowning glory will end up dry after I decided to go back to my natural wavy hair, what if frizziness and split-ends will start to build up, and on and on.. but I still continued my plan.

We went to New Station Salon beside the Clementi Mall, sat down there until my phone ran out of battery, they cut, shampooed, treated, and the last is curled it up using an alien like machine. Almost 3 hours of sitting my butt there, then they took out the rod of perming machine. Upon cooling down, they washed again my hair. Then the beautiful locks appeared.

Now, its on my hands to take care of my permed hair. I never stopped doing my "me-time" habit, every week I keep on using my trusted hair products to nourished my crowning glory.

Pantene Pro-V Intensive Treatment Total Care is my best ally to prove that I can flaunt my permed hair beautifully. I easily get-along with my new hair-do! This product helps me to prevent the signs of damaged hair.

I bought this when Watsons held a bargain in Singapore Expo. This only costs me $5 and it lasted for more than a month of weekly usage.

Let's Count the Blessings!

I am 30 and I know it. I am old, yeah I admit it and I am happy. Since January 2013, I keep on thinking what achievements that I had done with the past 3 decades. So here are some to summarize..

Family: My parents, nobody can replace them in my heart. They're the best parents for me; they know how to spoil and how to teach me a lesson. They know what makes me happy and what makes me really mad. My father taught me the importance of inner scorecard, to choose friends wisely and how to be frugal in money. My mom is always there for me. I know I got her style in dressing and the thinking that wife must not be totally dependent to their husbands on finances. She also taught us how important to own your own house and lot.

            My siblings are the best! Even they want to choke me to death because of brat attitude, they are always there to be my guide and be my models. We grew up in different generations and believe in different religions but in relation to our different manners, we understand each other.

            In-Laws: Abbey came from a well-intact and very sweet family. I am so thankful to be part of their growing family. So thankful to have a very kind and very sweet new set of parents and siblings.

            Friends: They proved to all of the people that are around us that they are not after my money. Ha! Hey!, they are richer than me. :) Truly, my set of friends is a gem to cherish. It seems that we knew each other since birth. Love you all! 

Education: I am an ordinary student constantly in Section 1, until I came to the point to see what subject I will excel, and that is Physics... The subject that almost everyone hates. For the first time, I joined a quiz bee and won the first price. I garnered the Best in Science Award & Mercury Drug Awardee. In college, I took up the Bachelor of Science in Customs Administrations for 3 1/2 years. With tears, I passed the board exam with an average of 81%.

Career: At the age of 26, I became the supervisor of a certain company, went to Malaysia, China, Indonesia, Vietnam and Cambodia for procuring. Be known in the Bureau of Customs. The latest is that here in Singapore, after sending my particulars at 3PM, 5PM on the same day the Ministry approved my application. Now I am working happily with in my current company for more than a year, with great boss, great colleagues and very cooperative clients.

Finances: As my usual when I am working back in Philippines, 50% is directly going to my other account as my savings. Now it is not 50%, now I can save for 80% of my earnings, (achievement indeed). Now you know why I want all to be free, haha!  Me and my husband have some investments also, getting ready and wishing for an early retirement.

Love Life: When I am counting my blessings, I count Abbey twice. Actually, I do not need to explicate why. Every person me and my husband knew always told me that I am lucky to have Abbey. Always replying them, "I am not lucky, I am BLESSED."

In past 30 years, I had gone many trials; some told me that it is a failure but for me that is only a lesson to ponder and to get ready for another challenge for me to succeed. 

Prayers is my only armor for the future and I am hoping that we can use all the lessons of the past to jump over the hurdle of trials.
