Is there an easier, less uncomfortable way of talking to your boo about sex? About the things you want to try out when your boo is less experimental than you? There is none. You just have to say it, the longer you wait to say it, the more complicated it becomes.

It’s not healthy to just keep your desires bottled up. There is nothing wrong with a little one-on-one, deep down honest conversation. Your boo should be man enough to take it, if not, that doesn’t give you the right to go look for what’s missing in your relationship somewhere else.

Women are more complicated and harder to please in bed compared to men. So it’s not really guys' fault if they sometimes get lost with all the buttons to push but they should at least be willing to learn. After all, there is no manual that comes with a woman’s body. Men should be open to learning from what the woman is saying and what she's not.

Variation is the key. Who cares if you go dress up like a fireman when once you get down to it, you still do it the same way you’ve done it since time immemorial. Try the union of the frog, oyster, goddess, posture of the stars or anything new for that matter. In love-making, it’s how you get there that matters.

One more thing, guys, you don’t have to take home the gold medal everytime. You can go 2nd or 3rd place and take home the silver or bronze medal. I’m sure your girl will appreciate it!

My body is still in morning shift mode these days even though its been over 2 weeks since I worked during mornings. I better start repairing my body clock. It would be so embarrassing to doze off during the T3 next week.

Back then I was so nocturnal that during my days off I still am wide awake and restless at night so we always end up watching movies or going to Fuente for siomai hihihi but now, I give out an involuntary yawn at work and whats worst is that I have to do it with my mouth closed. It would be so unbecoming for a trainer to be seen yawning by the trainees.

So just for kicks I tried googling my way to not falling asleep and I was amazed at how little is written about it because most articles ever written talk about how to fall asleep. I found something useful that talks about how not to fall asleep in wikihow though and I'll post the excerpts here but for a full article just click the link.

How Not To Fall Asleep

1) Use your sense of smell. A strong scent, good or bad, can make you more alert very quickly. Holistic healthcare providers often recommend essential oils of the following plants to stimulate the nervous system and reduce fatigue (open the bottle and take a big whiff when you're feeling drowsy).
2) Use acupressure. Massaging any of the following points will improve circulation and ease fatigue
3) Take a power nap. If you have the time, sleeping for just 15-20 minutes can increase your alertness by leaps and bounds if you have a cup of coffee (or any other form of caffeine) right before you fall asleep.
4) Expose yourself to bright light, preferably natural daylight. Your body's internal clock, its circadian rhythms, are regulated by your exposure to sufficient light. Even if you're in an environment where there's artificial light, brighter is better. If you can step outside (even on a cloudy day) or look out the window for a full minute, you'll be more alert. Wherever you work, see if you can replace the light fixture or add a lamp that will brighten your workspace.
5) Keep yourself uncomfortable.
6) Exercise at your computer. Just because you're sitting down doesn't mean you can't use your muscles.
7) Avoid a full stomach. Munch on snacks all day, rather than having a big meal. The key is to not get a spike of sugar intake (followed by the inevitable crash). The same goes for caffeine. Break your consumption down into small doses.
8) Listen to music that's energizing to you; if possible, dance or sing along, even if you just bob your head or hum. Music that's irritating or jarring to you can also work. Just make sure to use headphones so you don't disturb your co-workers.
9) Ask your co-workers to scare you. If they have a sense of humor, they'll delight in finding ways to pop out from behind your desk or around the corner, and it'll get your adrenaline rushing. Laughter is also a great way to fight drowsiness.

Lately I have been trying to evaluate my relationship with dada. I should start evaluating it and not just take it by face value. So what was I like before him? An interesting question..makes me want to interview people who knew me then so as to avoid being bias. Since I don’t have the luxury to do so though, let me just walk you through.

I was not someone who thinks of the consequences of my actions. I do things because I wanted to do it and because I enjoy doing it with utter disregard of how it may make the other person feel. I never admit I’m at fault in a fight. So even if it was my mistake, you still awe me an apology (something I inherited from my mom). During arguments, I always have the last word. Meaning that anything you say can and will be used against you so your only other choice really is to let me win. Hey I’m just focusing on the bad side for effect but I do have several good qualities as well ^_^.

Now with dada, I actually care about what he feels. I try to watch out when I’m being unfair and inconsiderate.
Although there are times when I miss out since I’m still learning, at least I’m in the right track.
With him I’m learning how to become a better person. Now, I have a clear definition of what is right and what is wrong.
Back then right and wrong were obscured in the background by my selfishness and vanity.
It feels different not going out with friends to wallow in carnal pleasure that often leads to unsavory outcomes.
It's odd that I hear a moral alarm sounding off from inside me whenever I'm about to do something out of character.

Oooppsss! Look what the wind brought in, Dada's dad! I better pause for now.

I was cleaning out my drawer when I happened upon old disks that looked vaguely familiar. So what I did was checked the content in my PC and eureka! I found tons of photos of me inside haha and I thought these pics got lost when we moved. So let me show the proof of how I love taking pictures of myself even way back then. Let me show you some proof!!^_^

I seem to have nothing else to do these days but check ebay and multiply for Kimono and Kaftan dresses. Dada always asks, “Don’t you have enough kimono dresses already?” Well yes until I see another one that I just must have ^_^

I like the fact that I can never go wrong with this type of cut. Just imagine sporting a baby bump in a cool kimono or kaftan instead of the typical maternity dress. Another great idea would be to go party wearing a kimono or kaftan inspired gown grrrr!! I like pairing mine with gladiator sandals, so fab!

I’m even thinking of learning how to sew because this type of dress can be expensive and I always buy mine online. I could save so much if I just buy a nice cloth and “CREATE”. Plus I can customize the colors, the cut and just experiment. Maybe I could even start my own line of kimonos and kaftans. Well just another item to add in my growing to-do list haha

Ok I better hit the shower now and prepare for work. It’s still at 10pm but I have not decided what to wear yet haha I’ll see you again soon people!

P.S. I’m posting some of the dresses I found online for inspiration.

So in case you might all be wondering if I won the Ebay bid, I did but only for the 2^nd and 3^rd dress. It’s alright because those 2 are my fave anyway.

Well that’s not really why I’m writing now. Oh my PC is back up now in case you are all wondering, “where is she blogging from now?” but that’s not the reason why I’m writing now either.

I want to tell you about Wave 37. This is rather late because they all graduated from training 2 weeks ago but with my PC being busted and all at that time, I just had to wait. Wave 37 is what I can consider my first real class because I didn’t have anybody with me to co-faci and there were 20 of them. The first thing I noticed when I walked into the room on the 1^st day was, “Oh dear, this is a rowdy pack”. And I was right but there was never a dull moment with them. I guess we complimented each other. I believe that training shouldn’t be boring and so did they.

I must have done something right because they all passed PST weeh! And I felt like a proud mama. I was so moved when during the last day of training, they gave me this hand-made ceramic Madagascar frame kind-of with their messages for me on the back. I’ve never felt this fulfilled with work before and it made me realize that this is my calling. It’s not taking calls but training people. Seeing them now taking calls makes all the “dailies” seem worth it.

Well guys I miss all of you and I mean it!! I miss checking my blog and staying updated with the going-ons in your lives haha am back after what seemed like an eternity of blogging hiatus. Well it was just 2 weeks but oh boy I have so much to write about because of all the crazy stuff that happened. Anyway, let me start with why you have not felt my presence for sometime.

My PC got busted again after we just had it fixed so you can imagine how vexed I must have been right? So vexed the last thing I wanted was to have it fixed again ggggrrrrr!!! I just wanted to throw the useless thing outside the window or have a 12-wheeler truck run it over.

I was so vexed I didn't even want to blog because I was feeling too negative. Although in anger comes inspiration to write, I didn't want to be under its influence when I blog well at least whenever I can help it.

My PC is still busted and I have no intentions of having it fixed. It serves another purposse now. It's my stress PC. I punch it, kick it, cuss it, etc hahaha very therapeutic.

In the neighborhood where my friend Tedd grew up he said drugs, weeds and whatever you call it is rampant … even before he started high school he already smoked by the time he finished high school he was what people call a drug addict. From syrups, marijuanas and cocaine … you name it he’s tried it … the sad thing about it is he knew what’s wrong with him but he can’t seem to stop. No, in his own words, he doesn’t have the strength to stop … he cannot deny the strong craving … so day in day out he did everything he can … stealing … robbery … everything just so he can buy whatever he needs to buy to satisfy his craving. He has grown thin, was never able to enroll for college, sunken eyes and cheeks. No longer the cute guy next door, but all that changed after 4 years of misery … at the age of 23 he was admitted for drug treatment and intervention somewhere in a place offering solitude and natures best.. The location, our support, he’s will to overcome it … made the treatment smooth sailing.

Now we have a totally reformed Tedd, healthier than he was 4 years ago, happier than he ever was. He’s gone back to painting and arts … and to writing too, the staff at the local drug rehab center has been very understanding and kind … making the place an easy environment for him. Can’t wait to see him when he’s drug detoxification is done … after all the pain he has gone through its high time for him to be with us … the people who cared and loved him the most.

Can’t wait for you to come home bro …

Isn’t it inspiring when someone you know as part of a lower socioeconomic class crosses over to the world of wealth and class all of a sudden with the little stroke of luck and hard work? It is something that I ultimately want to be a part of. Successful stories like this happen more commonly than we realize it. Nouveau Riche, as these people are called exist everywhere and as a matter of fact I personally know some individuals who make good examples. It’s not always easy to tell who will make it or not in this society but self-made individuals certainly make everything look possible.

Looking back in history and the abundant list of Nouveau Riche community, we can see a common denominator in all of them. They are all hard-working, ambitious and calculating. They usually reached their status in venturing to the business world and their risks have most definitely paid off big time.

I got this email at work from Griz and it insipred me. I'm posting this so that every WOMAN will be reminded of how FANTASTIC they are and well MEN? They NEED to be reminded as well!

Tagging Bena, Michy, Wena and Mier!

I have been using my Paypal for awhile now and it just occurred to me that it could be more convenient if I add my bank account and withdraw my money from there instead of my credit card or EON card. I don’t know if you have all tried it. It gave me an error on the first attempt saying the account number was invalid. Well I must’ve done something wrong because I know this can be done and I know it’s the correct account number for my Chinabank account. I tried typing back the account number without the das this time and it worked! I’m one happy camper now.

Please refer to the information below for your Bank’s Paypal code.

Dada and I went shopping this afternoon and promised not to shop again until Christmas because that is when all the good stuff comes out. Well I made reservations for some pre-order items online as well and I should get it this month but that should be the last..promise!

I already have a yellow purse to match my yellow shoes but when I saw this yellow Secosana bag earlier, I felt weak in the knees so I just had to buy it and I did. No matter how many times I tell myself to stop being such an impulse buyer, I still end up buying things that are not really considered essential in life. Well I guess that is why it's called impulse buying because it just happens out of impulse and you only realize what just happened after you pay for it. Oh well!

A pair of gorgeous eyes is a true asset. I can not help but stare at people with beautiful eyes, thick and long lashes that could cast dramatic shadows. My lashes are fairly long but not that thick. I have heard of the eyelash extension service at salons where they attach individual strands to your lash to add length and volume. Depends on where you have it done and how it’s done, the price may vary. So far, I know of 2 salons here in Cebu that provides this service; Maanyag and Hortaleza Salon. I so want to try it but Dada does not approve of the idea. He usually is my biggest supporter but not on this one.

Eyelash extensions are truly way better than curling your lash and putting on that pesky mascara. This is hot in Hollywood but we don’t have to pay as much here.

There is only very few stuff in this world that I’m OC about and that includes my bags and shoes. For every bag I have, I also have a pair of shoes to match it. It’s one way for me to find synergy in my everyday life. Dada laughs at how silly it is but I can NOT be seen, let alone go out with a mismatched outfit.

The only basic color I lack from my collection is red. So whenever we go shopping we always look for a red shoe because a red bag is easy to find. We always see a lot of reds in any shoe zone we enter. The problem is my shoes size. It’s so hard to find a 5 these days. When we do see one, it’s not heeled and I have a thing for sexy heels.

Tonight I triumphed over weeks of constant search because I finally found the perfect pair at Robinson’s. Weeeehh! So here, I'm flaunting it ^_^

Next stop, purple bag and shoes!!!

I rarely text or call anyone except of course Dada. When my sister back home called this afternoon just to chat, it was a welcomed intervention from sleep. I wasn't very interested at first but the conversation got juicy and interesting when the phone was handed over to my cousins. It made me realize how I've missed them all.

One of my cousins started blabbering about people I used to know and I didn't expect I would be so excited about it but I was. Well maybe excited is not the right word but somehow something inside me sort of felt queasy but not in a bad way.

Why do names and faces have an odd way of affecting us?

Have you ever lost something you thought you didn't want?

Am I even making sense? Oh well, emotions are not suppose to make sense anyway.

When Dada’s teammate went home to Bacolod, he gave her 500Php budget for Bacolod-made delicacies as “pasalubong”. I was shocked to see so much food on our mini table when I got home yesterday. We ate some and I gave some to my friends at work and we still have this much today. There is just more than enough for both of us. It’s very distracting to see this much food around especially when you’re trying to lose weight.

With the onslaught of many hosting companies on the web deciding where to sign up can be a bit of a hassle. For me I usually check out web hosting rating sites to check which ones appear constantly on the top 10, it differs from one rating site to another but usually on the top 10 its almost always the same companies. I'd also consider going for those companies with web hosting awards and those that offer web hosting tutorials after all not everyone really knows what they're doing.
