Binging for the holidays

With the upcoming holidays to our motherland, I am thinking that I may need diet supplements here. We all know going home to visit family and friends boils down to one thing -- food binge! It is not uncommon to be dieting especially when the food you have known and loved is readily available. Who could resist that?! And it is expected that we should gain a few kilos here and there, but I reckon it is all worth it. You can always lose them when you come back to your so-called real world.

New season

Spring has finally sprung! And what wonderful warm weather we are having these days! Spring is my favourite season of all. It is not too cold nor too warm -- just perfect. And one of the best things about it is we can say goodbye to eczema treatment at least for now. It is taxing just having to apply creams and what-not's onto the skin day in and day out. And it is not just the little girl who has to do it now. Yes, me too, though not as bad as the little one's, thank goodness! With spring here, what's not to celebrate? :)

Proud parents

Our friends are expecting their first born in a month's time. Finally it's a baby boy. The male gender is considered a rarity in these parts of the world, as most of the children are female. If it were the olden days, I am sure daddy R would be passing out cigars to his buddies when finally their son is born. A truly proud moment for them both as it was a project that is 10 years in the making. We are so happy for them. Baby-envy mode now.

Techy wishes

One of the several things that is not worth investing your precious savings in are the techy gadgets like your everyday MP3 players. I just saw the new Nano a few days ago, and they've now progressed to tiny touch screens! I love my player just the same but those newer models sure make you want to buy them too. I guess I am just waiting for the time that all those high-tech gadgets will be as an everyday item that you won't have to spend an arm and a leg just to get one. That day will come, but soon enough I hope.

Thinking of Sydney

It seems like the family is going to Sydney for a nice spring get-away. I am excited! Come to think of it, the little girl's never been to Sydney for a vacation. It has always been a stopover for us flying to and from Manila, but we have never stayed for a day or two to go around that lovely city. Anyway, I hope there great deals that are similar to Branson vacation packages that we could take advantage of. It would be good to see Sydney once again.

Gift-giving

Tomorrow is our fifth wedding anniversary, if we were to consider our civil wedding back in 2005. We haven't really gone into the tradition of giving gifts to each other to celebrate (so never mind cotton gifts for anniversary or wooden ones as is the case for this year). We normally would just go out and have a nice dinner. I guess we are just more practical this way. But maybe it is high time that we do get something for one another to make it more significant. :)

Wet Day

You know if there's going to be a change of season without having to look at the calendar by just looking at the weather. Today was rather soaking wet, raining from morning until night, with thunder even to boot as the day ended. So you can imagine, it was pretty much a non-conducive day for work. All I really wanted to do the whole time I was at a course was to go home early, turn the door knob, get in and sink into my warm bed. Really looking forward to break now, more than ever!

Borderline

You May Be a Bit Borderline...



Your mood swings make a roller coaster look tame! When you're up, you're a little bit crazy... And when you're down, your whole world is crashing. Scary thing is, these moods can change by the minute!

What Personality Disorder Are You?

LOL! I was beginning to think that, yes, I am a little tiny bit c-r-a-z-y! I am sure if I buy phentermine, it won't solve the problem. So just beware, y'all, especially if it is that very unfortunate time of the month!

Crapped Out

My head is starting to hurt. All this brainstorming for ideas on a deadline can certainly put you on the spot. I am honestly out of ideas, and am wanting to head off to bed. Nobody ever said working was ever easy. After all you do get paid for it. I just hope all this hard work and late nights compensate me more than if I were to sell merchant account, as it seems to be a more lucrative business opportunity. Oh, I don't really know. All I know now is that I am tired and I really need to head off to bed now.

Giving In

In this day and age of Biggest Loser followed by Masterchef, it is no wonder that you kind of get the wrong message or mixed signals from the media. One time you are so motivated and inspired to diet and get all fit by the contestants on Biggest Loser. then just when you've vowed to commit to weight loss program, on comes Masterchef, tempting you with heaps of delicious food. And I am telling this from personal experience! As I may have already mentioned, I am back slaving over our oven baking desserts, and all this giving in is starting to show. Oh dear, times like these when you wish that new diet pill was just an arm's reach away.
