Crowning Glory

by Honney

Growing up, I often hear people say that our hair is our crowning glory.

And it’s very true!

Since high school up to this very day (I am now a proud mom of two), I do everything I could to protect my hair from any kind of damage so I always make sure that my “crowning glory” gets all the pampering it deserves. But since I already have two kids, it is my personal choice not to regularly go to salons anymore because it’s costly. Now I prefer doing my “hair spa” treatments at home (except hair rebonding) with the help of my dear husband. I get the same results anyway.

I just noticed that with my two pregnancies, I was prone to hair fall. Now my hair has become thinner. I just couldn’t imagine myself going bald so I had to learn more hair loss products!

Tsk, Tsk…

I wish online printing is available for all my chat interactions with Globe. For weeks, I’ve been getting different information from the agents I spoke to about my Blackberry Internet Service post-paid line. One agent said I won’t be billed when receiving emails on my Blackberry phone as long as I don’t reply; another agent said I would. One agent said I get free 10-minute calls each time I call a Globe/TM subscriber; another agent said my free 10 minutes is consumable per month.

Too much misinformation. The above mentioned were just the recent ones I remember.

Nakakaloka!

Now I can’t wait to see my very first cellphone bill.

Stepping up!

by Honney

Last Sunday, I did my first attempt at the 10K category.

I’ve always been a fan of Goldilock’s since childhood, so I thought joining the Goldilocks 45th Anniversary Run would be fun. I was a little nervous when my husband dropped me off at BGC on the day of the race. Who wouldn’t when you know you’re unprepared? To make things worse, I left my timing chip at home just when I was about to set foot at the venue. My hubby had to drive me back home at a flying speed, and luckily reached the venue just in the nick of time.

I felt like my whole day was ruined! It’s a good thing my mood changed as soon as the race started.

Lesson learned: be prepared the night before the race. I got all panicky looking for my sun visor as I was leaving the house. Hence, I totally forgot to bring what’s more important — my timing chip. Ugh!

Needless to say, I was happy to have finished my first 10K run. My PR was not impressive, but at least I had the HEART to finish the race without fainting! Haha! I just felt a little gloomy because it was the first race I joined without my husband (he had a teambuilding that day). It’s a good thing Kat and Red (my friends in the office) joined me! It’s their first 10K run too!

After the race, we all walked (with a limp) all the way to Mercato for our big breakfast!

Side notes: I wish our legs were like cars with a 5th wheel warranty.
