Update and New Year, New You Winners!

I felt like I need to expand my last blog post about my little boy.. the saddest part of blogging..

It all started when I learned I can work at home through online jobs, forums and then blogging.. then I gave birth to my youngest girl.. juggling between tending an infant, breastfeeding and building blogs, I almost neglect my 3rd son. And my 2 helpers were very helpful in that aspect…specially the older helper. She took care of my little boy to the point that my boy asks for her even during night time.. It was heartbreaking for me and I almost lost my sanity knowing that my boy prefers my helper than me.

It was my wake up call.. and from then on, I made sure that I will attend to all his needs and that no matter how busy I am. I bathe him, wash him prepare his milk and nap with him. Those little things, I learned are the most important to him. In no time, he was back into my arms. He’s mommy’s little boy again (not helper’s little boy haha).

Blessing in disguise, my two helpers left. I learned to manage my time well. Now, he’s very close to me.. and I am very thankful I had that wake up call. He’s clingy and I love it!

Moving on… the past few weeks gave me not time to attend to my online obligations..and to start my “work mode week” here are the winners of the New Year, New You giveaway 🙂

First Prize: Lala Valderama

Second Prize: Chilzen Mae S. Cao

Third Prize: Ysel Yap

I’m excited to blog about our Zambales weekend…stay tuned!

The Saddest Part of Blogging..

I was looking for a blog post here in my blog.. something about painting and how I can’t paint again after giving birth.. it’s a touching post.. or at least for me.. but I can’t find it!

As I was browsing my blog..nostalgia hit me.. you know, like looking in a photo album.. same feelings, same sentiments.. then I came across a post about one of my kids..

and my heart melts. no, more like, it scattered into pieces.. I cry.. reading that blog post made me realized how much time was lost between me and that boy of mine.. it was a very sad realization.. my heart ached for that time.. for the lost time with him..

I know there is no use crying over it.. but I cannot help it.. there’s a lump in my throat, part of me wants to scream and be angry at myself.. what have I done? too much on my hands back then..

It was a sad chapter in my life..even if I am now trying to make it up to him, I know times like this would always come.. and it would always be the same.. the lump in my throat.. that, wanting to scream..

Good news to those who want to try MetaFit!

Medicard Philippines, one of the leading health maintenance organizations, joined hands with MetaFit and created the Medicard-Metafit Fitness Boot Camp. Dr. Nicky Montoya(for Medicard) and Coach Jim Saret (METAfit founder and famous Sports and Fitness Science Specialist) signed the contract last February 7, 2013. Present in the contract signing were Ms. Kate Cruz-Joaquin, Medicard Philippines Marketing Manager; and Biggest Loser Pinoy Edition finalists and METAfit coaches, Raffy Tan and Hazel Chua.

The Medicard-Metafit Fitness Boot Camp started last February 25, 2013 (sold out agad!) at the Medicard Lifestyle Center in Paseo De Roxas corner Buendia, Makati City. Hopefull this is not the first boot camp from them (let’s keep pur fingers crossed!)

Before the boot camp started, there was a trial session also held at Medicard Lifestyle Center last February 16, 2013. Bloggers and some participants got to experience Metafit and what can be expected at the bootcamp.

The training started with a warmp up- 10 jumping jacks, 10 squats, 10 pushups, 10 lounges per leg- AMRAP (as manu rounds as possible) for 4 minutes (nyak warm up pa lang un?!?) After that comes the Enter the 50/10- participants were made to do as many repetitions as they can of a specific exercise within 50 seconds with a 10 seconds rest in between.

I can’t imagine what the bloggers and participants went through during the try out.. doon nga lang sa 4 minute eh hinihingal na ako, paano pa kaya if it includes the second set? ayayay! Pero sana din nakasama ako during the trial.. that would be another experience to blog about 🙂
