Big Day

Yep, big day tomorrow, for me at least. I have my citizenship appointment scheduled tomorrow and I am hoping to pass the examination with flying colours. LOL! If I am successful enough, worrying about visas will be a thing of the past, and me and my family will all be travelling with blue passports.

I just need to make sure I've loaded up our prepaid visa, in case there are any other fees that need to be paid tomorrow. It certainly can be expensive, but I suppose it is all worth it. After all, it is a life changing moment, and the world could be whole lot different with all the privileges I may be entitled to. Wish me luck!

Junk, junk and more junk!

Don't you just hate junk emails? I honestly find them to be a nuisance, all because they congest the system and they do eat up on your inbox's capacity. Subjects range from scam emails to different health products like you wouldn't be likely to want to hear about (hello viagra and maybe stuff like maxoderm) especially for females like me. It can be quite varied! I don't mind the health products as much. But I really do watch out for those emails from people hacking your friend's account and posing as your friend, asking for money to help them out of a desperate situation. It is unfortunate for them that I am not that gullible to fall for their scheming ways. :(

Losing it

Did you see the winner of Biggest Loser? If I am not mistaken, she is the first female to ever win the Aussie version of this well known reality show. She has shrunk to half her size. With all the hard work she's done, she must be pretty proud of herself (and for succumbing easily to 7dfbx and other similar stuff). I guess the challenge now lies in being able to maintain her present weight, when she returns to her home. I think, if she is successful with that, that would top among all her achievements thus far. Talk about pressure!

No surprises here!

Gift giving to hubby has now become non existent, all because he has specifically said that he did not want me to buy him any more clothes and that he'd buy them himself. Now that puts me in a predicament as I can't just pick up anything off from the rack (like mens ties or shirts), and I am limited to who knows what. I love surprises, but with this kind of arrangement, the thrill of it all has definitely gone out the window. Oh well.. I guess the only positive thing about is that he will certainly be getting exactly what he wants. Win some, lose some.

On Sleep

It's been a while since I've done a meme. I've been caught up so much with the mundane things in life (such as getting a term life insurance quote) that I haven't had time to get back into blogging. Anyhoo, here goes my results for this interesting meme.

Your Sleeping Position Says You Need Comfort



You are secretly sensitive, but you often put up a front. Shy and private, you yearn for security. You take relationships slowly. You need lots of reassurances before you can trust. If you don't get enough sleep, you are: Cranky and a big baby. It's hard to sleep next to you because: You are a light sleeper.

What Does Your Sleeping Position Say About You?

Interesting I say, most of what's been said above is true! I couldn't agree more. LOL.

Dark, practical thoughts

I cannot believe how easily life can be taken in a whim. I've just learned of a couple of deaths in the showbiz world in the Philippines. They were both sons of famous Filipino personalities. And like any other person, I am sure the parents are equally devastated by the loss.

Speaking of which, I've also had to deal with a client who has suddenly lost her mother to several diseases. She was in a very affected state as she out of the blue broke into tears recounting the events. I reckon she was trying terribly hard to keep herself composed when I rang her up, but she is after all human and nobody could fault her for feeling that way. I've encountered death as well in the family, and it really is not something I would want to dwell on. Here's to a happy and long life to all of us. Carpe diem, as well, if I may add! Checking out that life insurance quote may turn out to be worthwhile, if you think about it, because you never know what life could bring you to next.

On MKR

MKR is now finally over. If you are a fan of reality TV shows, I am sure you will have no difficulty understanding what that acronym means. For those not in the know, I am talking about My Kitchen Rules. I had never thought that the grand finalists would be able to come up with meals of the highest standards, considering that they were all amateur chefs. They did dish up quite sumptuous meals that I am certain will have people checking out top fat burner methods after getting a fill of those wonderful dishes. Gosh, I would too! So yes, I am definitely looking forward to another season of MKR.

Moderation needed!

I'm heading out today to catch up with a friend over lunch at some lovely quaint cafe near our office. Food is great there, but servings can be quite massive! I wish food couldn't be sinful and we can just eat without feeling guilty. Sites like increasemusclemass.org can certainly bring out all the guilt in me. But yeah, such is life. I can't always be the most perfect person, can I? Everything in moderation, I always say to myself! Good luck to me with that! LOL.

Bloat is me!

Being bloated in the tummy sure is not a pleasant feeling. Water retention has always been a problem for me, and it certainly does not help that I have strong cravings for salty and sweet food at the same time. I wonder if colon cleanse is a good solution to this. But then again, I suppose it's even better if I am just more mindful of the things I eat so that I won't aggravate the problem. Yes, prevention is definitely the key. It is just going to take a lot of hard work and resilience.

Troublesome

Nothing worse than having last-minute adult acne on the day of any of your most important events. Naturally, we would want the perfect setting for that special day (whatever it is). But life is so unpredictable, as we all know, and things do happen in the most unexpected ways.

So going back to that awful zit... Every now and then, I still do get them and sometimes in the most awful circumstances. You can only pray that a miracle will happen and it will disappear just in time for that very important event. But we all know, that it is highly unlikely. So deal with it.
