Starting over :)

Image
Lately, I get this strong feeling like…like...like, I ‘need’ to start all over again. No definitely NOT all of it - just this year! I need to start this year all over again. Maybe it has something to do with our time back home (Samoa) or maybe it’s all this shifting places we’ve been doing for the last month or maybe it's the change in scenery or maybe its a realisation after recent events. I don’t know what it is, BUT, one thing is for sure and that is, operation ‘ starting over’ needed to take off ASAP.   My ultimate goal at the end of it all is – A better ME!   I want to be a better mother, a better wife, a better daughter, a better sister, a better friend, a better boss, a better student ,   a better listener and for goodness sakes LIVE BETTER!! I feel like I haven’t been doing anything worthwhile since 2012 started and I’d like to make sure I’m making good use of my time from here on out instead of wasting it on worthless/meaningless th...

first time 'les mills body pump-errrr'

No, I don't live under a rock but I can assure you that I've never heard of 'Les Mills' before. Apparently, it's the NZ/Aust version of BeachBody in the US of A. Anyways, straight to the point here. Les Mills rock my socks. Literally!! my legs were shaking and at some point, I felt like these legs of mine couldn't hold me up any longer (fatty much?) I'm sitting here typing away at the laptop and I'm still sore. My arms hurt, my legs are still shaking and I think the Bodypump today dislocated my ass  But for some strange reason, I'm loving it. I'm loving the burn For a while now, (and i think if you're a follower of this blog, you can attest that) I've been attempting and failing miserably to lose the extra pounds and get fit/healthy. I always seem to fall off a the bandwagon after two weeks, for two reasons; 1- no motivation aka lazy 2- hectic work/family schedule So here I am trying again. And this time, I'm determi...

Amateur Photography(er)

I love photography! There's just something about snapping away with that camera that makes me a very happy camper. So while I was back home the past couple of months, I got ' camera happy ' that I almost filled my laptop memory with nothing but photos. Random photos. mostly of the beach, trees, flowers, animals anything and everything. My hubby looks at the photos and goes, " WTH? " anyways, just thought I'd post some of these ' camera happy snappies' pic1: Jane's Beach Fales - Manase pic2: pink flower @ To Sua grounds pic 1&2: Vailima, sandals, bar @ Jane's Beach fales pic2: jumping @ TO SUA pic 1: Mulifanua wharf pic 2: Master Tai @ Aquatic Center - Samoa  pic3: To SUA Cave And that is all for tonight. I'll load some more later..or NOT..good nite bloggers

Update

Image
Yes, coz I'm so lame at updating this blog. So we're back in Hawaii-it's been pretty cold lately (as in 2 blankets at night kinda cold) unusual but oh well! Our first stop when we got in last Friday was Kaiser Permanente hospital to take the boys in for check ups. Master Tai was fine-he had the normal hand-foot-mouth virus BUT, poor master Taui on the other hand wasn't too good. He had a chest infection that worsened and affected one of his lungs. Good thing we came back when we did or else the infection would grow on the other lung. Thankfully, after a week of tests and treatments, baby is looking well and definitely improving. He's getting his appetite back, he's breathing normally, he's playing, he's bullying his big brother and slowly getting back to his happy chappy self again. Viia le Alii. He is still under observations and has follow ups for the next couple of weeks to make sure he is fully recovered and his lung and chest clear up. I am ...

Should I be a "stay at home mom"?

This is the question that keeps burning in my head since we landed. It doesn't help that the hubby keeps burning my ears with the same question since I got here. Gosh, give me a break! We don't trust our kids at daycare for too many reasons than I care to mention. So for the time being, let me ponder over this question and hopefully we can come to an arrangement soon . Gosh, why did I have to grow up? I hate making decisions !!!!!!

Mileage claiming whore

Air Pacific is giving me a hard time when claiming my miles. I spent the whole Monday TRYING to claim our miles, BUT the darn thing kept giving me an error message for some reason or it just wont let me claim at all. I took a break from Air Pacific to claim my Delta and Hawaiian Air miles All were done with no hassle at all April is coming up and it'll be a traveling month for me and my boys. It'll literally save us about $3000 or more. So you know why I'm kung-ho about getting these damn miles in Blame my procrastination self for leaving it to the last minute...aueeeee! Anyways, I was on the phone with a certain customer care agent for Air Pacific in Fiji for over an hour. She couldn't help me and I wouldn't let her get off the phone until I got my miles She was getting frustrated. I was getting furious. And at some point of the conversation, she put me on hold and all of sudden, I hear someone in the background say " an angry mileage claiming...
