Yesterday I got the news I was really hoping for, it's my baby girl's academic achievement. Even though I don't pressure her that much about being on the top list in her class, still I did expect that she'll get a spot. Yes she did!!! And to reward her achievement we celebrated it with a dinner outside early this evening.
We went to this grill that I'm having my eyes on for months already since it's a newly open restaurant. I really wanted to bring my family there and it did happen this evening! We're all full as the food were great. I forgot about my aching tooth for a while, I did enjoy the food and my kids too!

Back Again
Hi, it's been months that I haven't written any posts. I'm quite busy with my online job, I'm working like 50-60 hours a week. What are some of the updates about me? Well, my 4 years old daughter Aliyah Cassandra had her summer dance workshop, ballet, it's not her first time though. She started when she's 3 and I have few problems with her that time. She always cried and wanted me near her all the time. Any way I'll post some pix about that summer workshop.
Last June, she had her first school day!! Hooray!! Thanks to her ballet lessons she didn't shed a tear on her first day of class. Yesterday I found out that she make it to top 15 in her class and I was so happy, there where like 50 kindergarten pupils and so I'm so proud of her.
Enough about my little girl, another update was about my brother-in-law who died last July. My sister was so devastated, they have 3 kids and I know how hard it is for her to be a single mom now. A lot of things happen, good and bad but nothing worst thank GOD!
I'll be back with more of personal things that happen to me, I'll keep it short this time.

Toothache Home Remedies
Ouch my tooth aches and it feels like hell! What are the remedies available at home for tooth ache? Toothaches may be caused by a variety of problems such as dental cavities, exposed tooth rot, a cracked tooth, gum diseases, and so on. Pain from a toothache can vary from mild to severe and from sharp and sporadic pain to dull and persistent.
Mine is a cracked tooth and it feels sharp and it's affecting my right ear. Most of the times I drink pain relievers such as mefenamic and naproxen to ease the pain. Next week , I'll be seeing my dentist to have it check and have it removed if necessary.
While drinking medicines over the counter you may also want to try these toothache home remedies I found over the internet : Toothache Remedies & Relief
1. Cloves in Toothache: Chew cloves or rub clove oil on the tooth. Chew a clove slowly with the aching tooth to release its juice and leave there for half an hour. Repeat 2-3 times. When applying clove oil you should be careful because too much of it can damage your teeth. Your pharmacist can give you a safe clove oil for your teeth.
2. Salt water gargle recipe for sore tooth: Mix 1 tablespoon of common salt with 1 cup of warm water. Take a mouthful of this water and move it around the aching tooth. Salt is an excellent astringent. so salt water disinfects the tooth. You can do gargle with this water to act as a salt water sore throat remedy. It is a good idea to do salt-water gargle in the morning and evening to prevent sore tooth and throat.
3. Garlic in Toothache: Peel and crush a clove of fresh garlic and mix it with peanut butter. Apply it to the aching tooth and keep it there for 5 minutes.
You can also use the garlic oil. Crush a clove of a garlic and wrap with a small piece of gauze and press hard until garlic releases its oil. Place the gauze on the tooth that is hurting for five minutes. Any longer and the garlic will burn the skin on inside of your mouth. Repeat 3-4 times with a gap of an hour.
4. Ice in Toothpain: It is best to numb the nerves in your tooth by using ice or ice pack to stop the pain. Just wrap 4-5 ice cubes in a towel (or take a ice pack) and place it on your face over the side of paining tooth.
5. Add some lime juice to asafetida (hing) spice powder. Soak a piece of cotton and hold it on the tooth and gum.
6. Burn some turmeric (haldi) spice sticks, make a fine powder and use as toothpowder.
7. Chew a ginger piece slowly with the aching tooth/teeth to release its juice and leave there for half an hour. Repeat 2-3 times.
8. Take a papaya leaf stick, scrape the bark, then sqeeze the juice out into the paining tooth. Repeat 2-3 times. After some time, the pain should disappear.
9. Drink the juice of 2-3 star fruit twice a day to get relief from the tooth pain.
10. Boil 5 gram of peppermint and a pinch of salt in 1 cup of water. Drink it to relieve toothache and other pains. You can use peppermint mouthwash.
11. Pour a few drops of Vanilla extract on the paining tooth.
12. Pour a few drops oil of oregano on the paining tooth or gum.
13. Gargle with a mouthwash.
14. Soak a cotton ball with 100 proof whiskey and place it on the tooth that is paining. Leave it there until all the whiskey comes out.
15. To use this treatment, take one real Crush one aspirin tablet and put the powder directly on the affected tooth for half an hour.
You can choose either ways but make sure to see your dentist.

Problems with Bad Breath
What causes bad breath and what can we do to prevent bad breath. Bad breath has been a problem of many both teenagers and adults. We need good oral hygiene as we are not baby's anymore who have angels breath, it's as important as our looks does. Halitosis known as bad breath can affect anyone at any given time. It is such a very embarrassing problem for most people who posses it. Commonly bad breath can be prevented and treated easily, however there are some medical conditions that may also cause bad breath such as Chronic halitosis that may indicate an underlying medical concern that should be addressed by your dentist or medical doctor.
The Food We Eat and Digestion may also be a cause for bad breath as it can adversely affect our breath. Odors from certain spices,onions,garlic, and cabbage may result in halitosis when the suspected food is absorbed into the blood stream after digestion. When the blood has transferred to the lungs, the smell from the food is evident when you exhale. Since digestion comes next to eating, it can be another cause of bad breath. Gasses that are produced during the digestive process may escape through our mouth, giving off the odor it produces. Poor digestion resulting in constipation and bowel disorders can likely contribute to bad breath, resulting from the gasses that are produced during this process.
Another possible cause of bad breath is Dry Mouth or Xerostomia. Xerostomia is a condition that causes a decrease in the production of saliva, resulting in a dry mouth. There are several factors that may cause xerostomia, some of which may need to be treated by your doctor. Saliva is essential in providing lubrication to the mouth to allow for proper chewing and swallowing. It naturally cleanses the mouth and helps to prevent cavities. Having dry mouth causes bad breath since the food particles remain trapped in the mouth to rot and cause the unpleasant smell when you exhale.
Another well known contributor for bad breath is Cigarette Smoking. Smoking is also a major cause of periodontal disease. The smoke produced from a cigarette is inhaled into the lungs, and then exhaled through the nose and mouth. This causes an immediate effect on your breath. The chemicals and residue from the smoke remains in your mouth and airways. Continued use of cigarettes contribute to gum disease, which is a major cause of bad breath.

Long Distance Love Affair; Does It Really Work?
Have you ever been to a relationship where you and the person you dearly love are worlds apart? Have met someone online; fell in love and hoping someday he/she will come to marry you? Do you feel you can always trust your partner that he/she will remain faithful and honest to you?
With today's latest technology; web cams are now available allowing us to see and talk to our love ones even though they're thousands miles away from us. This can help us connect with them and maybe hold on to the relationship, but what about off cam? I'm pretty sure they will hang out with friends and could possibly meet other individuals during a party. Lucky you if your partner truly is in love with you and flirting with others is not one of his/her vices.
Most of the people I knew who succumb into this kind of relationship ended up nothing but heart broken. Only few of my friends lived happily ever after. They are those people lucky enough who's partner really hang on and remain faithful to their love till they meet again and ended up saying "I DO ". When you are involved in this kind of relationship, don't put all your hopes and dreams to the other person so much. Think of the possibilities that he/she may find someone new. He/she in the longer run may change his/her feelings for you. Though you will remain faithful and honest, willing to wait; the other person might not be feeling the same thing about you.
I Need A New Mobile Phone!
As a girl mobile phone is one of my weaknesses. I love to be on top of the latest trends in mobile gadgets. Well it's been a year since I bought my current cell phone the Softbank 920SC. I fell in love with this cell phone the first time I saw it on Softbank's website. I like the style, color, features plus the 5mega pixel camera. This phone is available only in Japan and I have to ask my cousin in JP to buy it for me. Last week I was strolling on the mall with my beloved hubby just looking around until we found ourselves inside this store (forgot the name) and saw the Samsung Jet and Samsung Star WiFi mobile phones.
What I love most with these phones is the wifi connectivity which for me is very essential especially with my type of work where I need to check my emails every now and then. Samsung Star is a lot cheaper than Samsung Jet so I thought I should pick it. My hubby as well needed a new phone and was thinking of buying the Samsung Jet for him since its also favorable for him. They have wifi connectivity in their office allowing him to use his mobile phone and surf the internet. For me, we also have wifi at home therefore I can surf the web with my phone anywhere inside and outside my home as long as it's within the range.
I am contented with Samsung Star but there's this another phone which I am thinking about too, the Nokia ExpressMusic but since my sis-in-law owns one already maybe I have to forget about it. I'm dying to buy the phone already but I can't get any money from my savings, actually I call it "conjugal savings; since me and my husband have been putting money on the same account" my husband wont allow me too. I've been working hard these past few days so I can save money enough to buy the new phone. I'm planning to buy end of this month on our 10th Wedding Anniversary. I'll consider it a gift to myself..LOL

My Fave Miley Song
I'm Just A Girl by Miley Cyrus
Finally
I've been waitin' for this moment
For you to see
The real me
It's been an illusion
I never meant to fool you
I got caught up in a fantasy
I'm just a girl
With a dream that got the best of me
In a world, that believes fame is everything
Got outta touch
With the ones who gave me my wings to fly, to fly
People say, that the world is like a stage
Their so confused, the rules I play
I been away from home for so long
That I, I almost forgot where I belong
Ye-eah
It's so easy to forget what really matters in this life
It's so hard to live with regrets but a promise I will try
To be a better me
From now on
I'm sorry
I didn't mean to do you wrong
You gave me my wings so I can fly, I can fly
Yeah, Yeah
I'm just a girl
Diet Pills - Safe or Not?
My-oh-my....girls are just too conscious of their figure. Every girl I know wants to have a 36-24-36 Vital Statistics. Is that possible to achieve? Well for some girls that isn't hard especially if it's genetically inherited. But for others who are not as lucky enough, they really should work hard for it. Some resort to diet pills but is it safe to take those pills?
I've read a lot of forums about diet pills and even tried it myself. Before taking the pill I tried to research it on the internet, its effectiveness and side effects. Chinese diet pills are the most popular so far. It's affordable and effective. All my life, I never take prohibited drugs but taking the pill seems like I’m high on drugs. I stop using it coz I have strong heart palpitations, I can't breath, I can't eat I just drink a lot of water which I think is good, but the worst of all; I have rashes coming out all over my body. I have history of allergy before and it's fatal. I was sent to the hospital due to allergy. Yes I really did loose weight but it has negative side effects on me.
I was also scared of the comments I've read on the forums saying that diet pills can cause cancer. There was a testimony about her aunt who died of cancer resulting from diet pills intake. I just wasted my money buying the pill since I didn't even consume it all. I gave the remaining pills to my friend. She even consumed 4 more packs of it and now she has a slimmer body. I am afraid for what negative side effects the pill may do to her body. She may not notice it now but we never know what happens in the future.Diet Pills - Safe or Not?
