[Zei on Career & Passion] Cheers to more positive changes!
It's been awhile since I last blogged, hmm... I guess I haven't found that much time. Zia and Rich are asleep now so I found time to sneak in some me-time-blogging. I've missed this. Haha. Anyway, I'm back again and I guess it's just fitting to share the changes in the past 2 months.
#1 Back at work
Yup, my stay-at-home mom stint was short lived. I'm back at work again and I'm now working in the pharma industry, which is a skip, hop, cartwheel and a long leap from the food industry, but I'm trying my best to learn the ropes as fast as I can. *fingers crossed and whispers prayers*
#2 After almost a decade, I'm driving again
The last time I drove I was still in college which is more than a skip, hop, cartwheel and a long leap from this very day. So yeah, it's been a long time since I last drove and now I'm driving again. I've had a lot of firsts in driving for the past month and I smell progress - drove in EDSA (both alone and twice with my new boss); drove in Marcos Highway with my mom without her remarks saying I'm too young-looking or tiny to drive; braved the mall carpark on a payday Friday are just some of the few minor things for most drivers, but which are considered milestones for me. =p I miss being driven to work by the husband though. =p
#3 No more super paranoid mom
Zia's now 10 months and I'm finding myself less paranoid. I think this lessened paranoia came about after my 4-day immersion in Cebu. The household I was assigned to had a baby girl a couple of months older than Zia and she was happy and okay even if she didn't have her mom wiping her hands with baby wipes ever so often, laying clean cloth for her to sit on and all those other seemingly neat-freak stuff you do when you're a first time mom. Once in awhile I let Zia crawl on the floor (no mats whatsoever, just our floor as it is) and put her fingers in her mouth cause now more than ever I think babies are really stronger than we think. :)
#4 I now make an effort to take care of my skin
I'm handling a skin care product now, Celeteque DermoScience and I imposed it on myself to take better care of my skin. I now tow a starter vanity kit which has a facial moisturizer and a lip balm (both Celeteque DermoScience, of course!) plus an oil control film. So if you wanna know more about this great brand that I handle, check out www.celetequedermoscience.com and learn more about your skin type and the products best suited for you - because beautiful skin starts with having healthy skin. :) Plugging, I know. :)
So there, hoping for more positive changes my way. And now that I'm done with this post I think I'll make some new Polyvore sets. Another thing I haven't done for quite some time. :)
Hope you're all enjoying the weekend! :)

[Shopaholic Zei] Excited about my new go-to store!
You probably all know that I love shopping for Zia and now I'm even more excited about shopping for her in my new-found store - F&X. It's been around for awhile and I've passed by it a couple of times already without bothering to go in. But I'm glad I went in this time. I found super adorable clothes for kids - from Carebears, florals, Disney and Hello Kitty. They have it. I love the Vintage vibe and most of all, I love how the clothes are very resonably priced. I can't wait to shop there again - maybe this time I'll also throw in stuff for me and for the husband. I'm loving their SM Masinag branch because it's well stocked an it's the closest to where I live. Check out Zia's new loot from F&X, all for Php 1,300. Not bad at all. :)

[Zei the MOM] My Mother's Day Promise
Just a few days ago, an old video cropped up on Facebook, it was that
of a woman purposely beating a baby. I didn’t even play the video and I felt my
heart breaking already just by seeing the still shot. Yahoo news reported it
since it gained around 16,000 recent views and reassured those who viewed it
that the incident happened last year in Malaysia and the crazy woman was given
an 18-month sentence. Although I don’t think 18 months is punishment enough,
I’m pretty sure the baby is in safe hands and definitely not with the mother.
If I had seen this back when I was single I would’ve shed a couple of
tears, but now that I’m a mom to such a darling baby girl, it hits home and I
feel anger – anger that there are mothers who can hurt their child that much. I
know it’s harsh to say this, but I don’t think mothers who physically abuse
their children deserve to be called mothers.
So for this mother’s day, I promise to give Zia nothing but love. I
promise not to hurt her and I promise to protect her from any harm as much as I
possibly can.
Here’s praying for all mothers on mother’s day, to realize that we’ve
all been given the greatest blessing in the form of our children.
Happy Mother’s Day to all my fellow moms! Happy Mother’s Day to the
best moms in my world – my very own mom and my mother-in-law!

[Zei on Career & Passion] Pinning the night away!
Because of one sleepless night wee hours of the morning after Zia's 3AM feeding, I found myself finally giving in to the happiness and hullabaloo that is Pinterest. My SIL (hi Sarah!) told me about this app way way before, but I don't know why I didn't take much notice then. A couple of my friends have told me even before that I'd love Pinterest, and love it at first use I did. It's a great tool for anyone I'd like to think, but it's even greater for brides-to-be, homemakers and event planners. I would've joined the bandwagon earlier had this been around when I was planning my own wedding back in 2009. Albeit 2 years too late for my own wedding planning, I could still put it to good use for party planning for Zia and home decorating and anything under the sun that could use some inspiration. Check out my boards! Shout out to my good friend Barre for the invite. So yes, as you may have derived from this post, I am officially a happy pinner!
