How To Win A Guy In 10 Ways

updated on January 7, 2021March 13, 20194 Comments on How To Win A Guy In 10 Ways

In celebration of International Women’s Day last March 8, I’ve put together a list on how to win a man’s heart because, as society dictates, getting a man is the ultimate goal in life of every woman. Number 1: Do not introduce yourself. Instead, invade his work area the first time you meet and tinker with his things, especially if he were OC.

  • NEVER TAKE PEOPLE FOR GRANTED Especially our family. Bawling after watching @celestinegonzaga’s @tonitalks_ with @candypangilinan and what she did for her son with special needs to graduate. Often, we focus too much on expectations, what ifs, what could have beens, etc., we fail to appreciate what we currently have or where we currently are. No long caption (Wow! A first! 😂), really. Just wanted to share how grateful I am for the @architecthusband and #BigBoyJesse (and our whole families), despite going crazy most times especially mealtimes when it takes Jesse forever to finish because he is sooooo daldal and likot. 😅 I’d take that any day. I love you, B and Siopao! Always and forever. Even if I become a dragon monthly. HAHAHAHAHA! . . . . . #architecthusband #JourneyWithBigBoyJesse #familyfirst #familyfirstalways #familyfirstlife #familyiseverything #familyisforever #intentionalliving #livingintentionally #gratitudeattitude #gratitudepractice #gratitudedaily #gratefuleveryday #gratitudejournal #thankfulnomatterwhat #tuesdaymood #tuesdayinspiration #husbandandson #ilovemyfamilysomuch
  • MOMMIES (AND DADDIES) UNITE: PANDEMIC MUSINGS The @nytimes reports: “People who exercise regularly are much less likely to be hospitalized, and to die, from Covid-19 than those who are sedentary, a new study suggests.” I wish the authorities approached this pandemic the RIGHT way from the beginning: advocate for the importance of living a healthy lifestyle and eating well. No groundbreaking solution, really. I know I may be bashed for stating this and people may even tag such statement as anti-poor. Honestly, we don’t need to be moneyed to live and eat healthy: vegetables are cheaper than pork nowadays, heck, we can even grow them in our own yard or bucket; it’s free to exercise (no equipment necessary, honestly); we can switch toxin-laden products with DIY-ed ones (cheaper and safer option!); etc. Earlier today, I “discovered” Stop COVID Deaths Facebook page as shared by Doc @mrsdomesticated and @fofernandez which holds webinars for free with speakers who are reputable doctors from the University of the Philippines. And one takeaway is this: *This is a WAR and we need to work together in solidarity: All we need is to STARVE the virus, let us NOT give it a chance to pass on from one person to the next. Pandemics in the past have lasted from 2 to 3 years. We just need to fight this right.* Tomorrow, me and my natural health and wellness tribe came up with a platform to provide a safe space to talk about how we are feeling these days, what have we been doing to cope, our pandemic musings heard. It’s FREE. We have soooo many free resources nowadays but we tend to get lazy to listen or watch or learn as it’s easier to put the blame on others for not creating enough solutions. THERE ARE SOLUTIONS, we just need to open our eyes. Join us tomorrow, Saturday, April 17, at 4:00 p.m. as we, moms (and dads) of @theoilnaturalproject and @fitmomsprojectph, join together and present a roundtable discussion with experts in finding ways to cope and stay safe in this pandemic.

  • THE @ARCHITECTHUSBAND HAS BEEN TEACHING #BIGBOYJESSE HOW TO SMILE PROPERLY IN PHOTOS: Eyes wide open and mouth not too wide. What do you think? It takes a few shots to get it right, though. Hahaha! How about you? How do you get kids (whether yours or not) to pose for the camera? . . . . . #architecthusband #JourneyWithBigBoyJesse #photographyfail #ilovemyson #ilovemysonsomuch #toddlermomlife #toddlerph #toddlermom #boymum #boymumlife #boymomadventures #boymomma #boymomlife #boymumma #toddlersofig #beachboy #beachboys #smilemakeover #smilechallenge #smilesmilesmile
  • WILL YOU STAY AWHILE IN THIS BEDROOM? Have you gotten used to nesting—what with all the online “temptations?” Speaking of nesting, what do you love most in this bedroom? I could easily say Thieves cough drops and Valor soap, but I want you to take a look at the corner. Yep! Right at the bedside table where the sweet aroma diffuser is placed. Its basket weave design and soothing cloud blue color make it so versatile for any kind of house interior: modern minimalist, tropical, or even country! Don’t you think? This diffuser alone is only P3,000 at retail price and it comes with FREE 5ml Lemon essential oil (about 80 to 100 drops), but what’s even better is that NEW MEMBERS can avail this LIMITED EDITION Daily Essentials Enrollment Set at its most economical price ever: P6,399. It’s a set with three 15ml (Peppermint, R.C., and Thieves) and two 5ml (Lavender and Lemon) bottles of essential oil, which even comes with an oil box, a usage guide booklet, and a reusable eco bag. Talk about HUGE savings! Over P3,500 to be exact. The Premium Starter Kit (PSK) was the best P9,180 we’ve spent for my family’s health and wellness back in January 2019. That’s why I’m SOOO HAPPY that now there’s a more wallet-friendly LIMITED EDITION option for our family and friends to start their wellness journey! A dainty and sturdy diffuser with five bottles of essential oils, plus awesome community? YES, PLEASE! Excited to snag these babies? Let’s talk! 😍 . . . . . #naturalhealthandwellness #allnaturallifestyle #toxinfreeliving #lowtoxliving #ultrasonicdiffusers #youngliving #younglivingessentialoils #younglivingeo #younglivingdiffuser #sweetaromadiffuser #dailyessentials #oilbularya #oilbularyadiaries #essentialoilsrock #essentialoilsforthewin #wellnessjourney #wellbeingwarrior #wellbeingjourney
  • IT TAKES DECISIVENESS TO LIVE INTENTIONALLY While the @architecthusband and I were preparing our breakfast earlier (Naks! Feeling useful in the kitchen—eh I only put the toppings in our oatmeal and toast #BigBoyJesse’s bread. Hahahaha!), the topic of being decisive arose. We’ve realized how having too many options is both a blessing and a curse and how we as partners prefer having fewer options. Now, I looked back and raised how we’ve always been in tune with who we were and are—our life decisions are rarely influenced by current trends nor other people’s opinions. Because I am sharing an old photo of us at our dear friends’ (@larajillsantosrojas @ramilriegorojas) wedding a few years back, I will talk a bit about our own #AllYouNeedIsLove2015 wedding. We didn’t hire any wedding planners (but we’re so blessed to have THE BEST event managers in the world as friends who agreed to help us materialize our vision on the day itself— @chahbyquerido and @ricalozada ), we didn’t attend any wedding fairs, and we only did an ocular inspection for one wedding venue: @balay_indang , and we fell in love right away, JS paid the down payment on the spot. It surely wasn’t perfect but the food was DELICIOUS! And their concept was unique: sit-down buffet aka they will keep on refilling the food for as much and as long as we wanted! And we just loved how homey the place was and how accommodating the staff were. We could have searched for other venues but we made a decision right then and there that we’d make it work. Hence, we got married out of town for 250 guests with less than three months of preparation (while both being employed full-time) and without any wedding planners. Looking back, it was such a fun and fuss-free event, which all boiled down to making a unified decision that we’d make things work. And we still do to this day. How about you? Are you the type who likes to have many options or do you decide easily? There’s no right or wrong answer, really. Happy Tuesday! . . . . . #architecthusband #husbandandwife #husbandandwifeforlife #husbandandwifeteam #intentionalliving #intentionallife #livingintentionally #decisive #decisiveness #makingdecisions #dailydecisions
  • “B, MAY 100 KILOS KA BA (DO YOU WEIGH 100 KILOS)?,” the @architecthusband asked me in nonchalance. I didn’t know if I’d get offended or I’d just laugh it off. I chose the latter: “Hahahaha! Grabe ka naman sa 100 kilos (How dare you judge me that I weigh 100 kilos)! The last time I weighed myself was for #YLPHJumpstart2021, I was at 74.2 kilos (Lost 2.2 kilos during the five-week program two months ago. Yes—I am THAT heavy as I am big-boned, you can see my skeletor days when you see my old photos. I am not ashamed of my weight because it’s just a number, kind of like age, I am even heavier than my husband. Hahaha!), I’m pretty sure I’ve lost more weight since then. Bakit (Why)?” I got defensive real quick. Was he going to remove my daily bread intake (I don’t think I could ever say goodbye to local bakery bread—hello, kabayan, Spanish bread, malunggay pan de sal)? Will kakanin no longer be allowed (never not falling out of love with suman, tupig, pichi-pichi or biko)? I reminded JS I weighed 250 pounds at my heaviest and that I’ve made a lot of progress already from where and how I was two years ago. 😂 “May tinitingnan kasi akong beach chair, 100 kilos lang maximum weight na kaya (I’m looking at a beach chair but its maximum weight capacity is at 100 kilos only),” JS clarified. Did he seriously think I still weighed more than 200 pounds?? His lack of confidence in me keeps me motivated to go back to my pre-wedding weight. Hintay ka lang dyan, B! (Just wait and see!) Bikini bod coming back soon. Charot! 😂 Happy Monday! How do you respond to comments about your weight? Good thing I don’t get offended easily nor do I take JS’ remarks seriously. 😅 PS: Sharing my #nofilter #selfie to show that, yes, I am in activewear almost the whole day every day, so I’m ready to squeeze in a workout whenever convenient. Will take a full body shot next time so you can see how fasyon my sleepwear shorts look when paired with a sports bra.
