A Woman’s Diary

My weight is seriously getting outrageous. Not to mention that my sister’s wedding is only a few months away. I’m scared that I won’t fit into the bridesmaid dress I bought. *headache*

That’s why I’ve been looking at a list of best diet pills that are around. I know losing weight it all about hard work and a balanced diet, but I need something that will speed up my metabolism and help me lose some pounds or inches around my stomach area.

I could join a gym and work out continuously an hour a day for five days every week. I really have to make a lifestyle decision. Something to ponder about tonight I guess.

I am absolutely loving the new 2GB memory I put into my computer a few weeks ago. It has let me load multiple programs so damn fast!! Not to mention, playing games…OMG!!! AMAZING!!!

I still can’t believe I had only 512MB of ram for the longest time. I was seriously missing out in computer performance for not upgrading. Thank goodness I did however. I can edit photos easily now without photoshop freezing or lagging. It makes my job so much easier!!

Now, I have to invest in purchasing something else. I’m thinking new lenses for my camera, an iPod Nano, Blackberry curve, or something like a laptop. We’ll just have to see on what I want to do.

It was nice having our family altogether again for a celebration (ie: Mother’s Day). We really surprised my mother this year considering we not once asked her what she wanted. We just knew.

Some things we got her included a huge mother’s day card, jacket, flower stems (she needed to change some faux flowers in some pots she has), large & deep frying pan + a few other pots (everything stainless steel and bloody expensive!!), and last but not least my favourite…an HP Photosmart A826 Compact Photo Printer.

The photo printer we got was one I personally had my eye on getting but knew my mother would be ecstatic once she learned how to use it. She is constantly bugging me to order photos of my nephew from the Walmart photo center in our local store. Of course, I always forget to do so which was good anyways. Why? Well, once I showed my mother how to print out photos from this printer, and photos of my nephew came out with unbelievable quality, my mother cried. Yes…I said that right - she cried.

She cherishes photographs deeply which is one of the reasons I knew it would be a great gift for her. Plus, I got it CHEAP too!! It was $250 before…then went down to $199. I saw it online for only $159 at FutureShop.ca. Then of course I check out BestBuy.ca and they had it for $149. So I just went to FutureShop because they match the price and then give you a 10% off from the difference. SWEET!! So it was definitely a great bargain in the end! LOL!

Just wanted to wish all the mothers out there a very special Mother’s Day filled with time spent with your family and close friends. Take it easy and enjoy your day. Here is my mommy.

Ya…I’m extremely pissed off beyond words can say. Why…what happened? A lot of things over the past month but mainly one thing is just making my blood boil. You can read about it here on my other blog which is HOSTED ELSEWHERE!!

The first thing you see when you enter my house, is the big grandfather clock my mother has in the hallway. It’s over 25 years old, looks brand new, and still works as if it were just bought yesterday.

Amazing right? I think so considering it’s age and the fact that it actually still works after all these years. If you are looking for the perfect house warming gift or just a long lasting gift for someone, consider getting them a traditional grandfather clock. They do make a remarkable presence in any home.

If you are looking for a great place to get clocks from, you may want to check out 1-800-4clocks.com. They have SOOO MANY that you can pick any style, price, and brand. The clocks found there are made with the highest form of quality as you can see from any photo. The photo I have shown in this post, looks exactly like my mother’s clock. If you’re not looking for a grandfather clock, they also have wall clocks and mantel clocks.

Like I said, there is a large variety that I’m sure you will find that perfect one for your home. Plus, don’t forget that both Mother’s and Father’s Day are coming up and this could make the perfect gift!!

Check out 1-800-4clocks.com for grandfather clock and much more!!

Don’t you feel that there isn’t enough hours in one day? That’s how I’m feeling right now. I woke up earlier than usually (9:30am…I usually get up in the afternoon), and I’ve been working on the computer ever since. Time is just flying by!! Then I have to shower and get ready for work soon. It’s just all ticking away too quickly for me to actually set back and enjoy!

I really don’t like days like this. I prefer them to go nice and slow, especially when I’m home. If I’m at work, then heck ya…go as fast as you can time. I just hate being on the phone the whole time taking to customers who can be quite rude. *rolls eyes thinking about certain incidents*

Ahhhh….gadgets are taking over my mind. Ya, I’m not even joking. It seems that every thought I have is about getting some new kind of electronic device. I want an iPod, Blackberry, DSlite, and soooo many other things. Can I afford them? Sure…but not all at once! *sigh*…. I guess I’ll just have to wait since I’m spending way too much money as it is, plus my sister’s wedding it coming up too!!

I’m a little stuck with ideas on what to get my mother for Mother’s Day. I’m actually nervous about it because it’s only a few days away!! I still haven’t even talked it over with my sisters either. *sigh*

Maybe I’ll just go for something easy such as flowers. I know that 1800Flowers.com have perfect mother’s day flowers available. They also have gift baskets and other goodies that you can send to your mom as well. Not to mention everything is on sale too!!

Hum…*thinking*…maybe I SHOULD get her a gift basket with lots of goodies of her favourite things! That sounds like a plan to me!

Well, it’s been quite the while since I last updated this blog.

It’s been down for months now with no activity. I’ve decided to revive this blog and further develop my photography skills through some photography classes that I’m currently taking. I’m still working towards my goal in achieving both my applied and art photography certificates.

I have plenty of images that still need to be added in my portfolio here. You’ll see more updates with these photos in the following week.

Stay tuned and don’t forget to subscribe to my rss feed!

Did any of you watch Oprah today with Barbara Walters on it? You can see a preview of it here.

It was really fascinating to be honest. Just the way she told her stories glued you to the television set. Well, for me anyways. I was just so interested in what she had to say. It was different than most interviews on Oprah. Barbara Walters just seemed so down to earth and she got really emotional about a few things and didn’t want to continue on one topic. She said something, “I’ll just leave it as that”.

Her main reason for being on the show was to promote her new book “Audition: A Memoir“. I think I’m actually going to pick this up from the bookstore or buy it online. Weird isn’t it? I’m actually interested in reading about Barbara Walters’ life…a woman twice my age. Hah!

I get a ton of emails asking how people can get their blogs known. My answer is always to submit your site to a quality directory.

Just look at DirMania.org for instance. Not only is it FREE to submit your website, but your site will be easily found in the proper category of your choosing. Plus, some sites in the directory are even featured on the “Top Links” section and the “Popular Links” section. Even more exposure to your site!!

And, if you’re like me, you may enjoy blog hopping. You can easily find other sites that have the same niche as you in the many categories they have. Or, you can do it the simple way - just SEARCH it!! One more way you can find websites in the directory, just go to the “Random Links” section. Every time you reload the page, random websites in the directory are displayed!! Talk about being cool!!

So what are you waiting for?? Go and submit your website at DirMania.org absolutely FREE!!

The blanket I have been working on is coming along really great. I’d say it’s about 20% completed which is because I want it to be nice and long. You can see the progress in the photos below.

I was watching a tv show which was about this guy who was highly religious and how they found out through forensics that he was the one planting bombs. Anyways, at the end of the show they showed this sign that said, “Where will you spend eternity? Heaven or Hell?” Right next to that they had John 3:16 which is from the bible.

So of course I do an online search rather than searching through the bible myself. This is what the verse was:

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

I couldn’t of said it any better. Being Roman Catholic, I can’t believe that verse didn’t stand out to me before. Well, after all, it’s been years since I actually read an entire bible from front to back. But still, this is what I was brought up to believe and believe in it 100%.

When my grandmother was on her death bed back in 1995, she had mentioned she saw Jesus Christ at the corner of her room. When I heard this, it was something I was never going to forget. She wasn’t someone who would lie and she wasn’t delusional. Having her confirm His existence was more enough for me to believe in the power of the Holy Spirit and live my life under Christ’s wing.

I believe…do you?

The Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God, the Father almighty,
Creator of Heaven and Earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ,
His only Son, our Lord.

He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit
and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.

He descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into Heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,

the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting.
Amen.
