When I was still commuting daily to work, I always feel so tired and worn out at night. As a result, I often skip dinner and would go directly to bed. Tiredness acted as diet supplements to me, cutting off my hunger and craving for food. There were days when I would eat out of fear that I would get ulcer but then most nights I would really skip meals. Bad? But it worked just fine for me. Although now, working at home, skipping a meal is not an option anymore. I can eat anytime I want without worrying about the time.

No wonder she has retained her hourglass figure. When I saw her, I couldn’t believe that she already has three kids! She said that she’s been conscious of her figure and is on a natural appetite suppressant ever since her last delivery. Wow! If only it is that easy for someone like me who has no kid yet but is unable to lose weight that fast…

I don’t need an hourglass figure like hers. I just want to be fit and not have to catch my breath all the time.

When you hear a person close to you or to someone you are close to get sick, it just breaks your heart. That’s the human in us. I hate hearing someone getting sick. Because I knew how it would be for the family. We’ve been there twice in the past. When I hear any form of cancer, like Mesothelioma cancer and leukemia, it just breaks my heart all over again. I feel for the family who are also suffering alongside the sick person. I just hope that in time, a cure for cancer will be discovered.

Happy Monday!

When I saw John and Elizabeth Edwards on Oprah before, I was charmed by the couple. I felt as if they represented the all-American family. John was so charming and sweet in that Oprah episode and I was so touched by the love that he’s shown his sick wife. I cried when they reminisced what happened to their son who died. And then the rumors about John having a mistress surfaced…

I don’t know how he was able to stomach cheating on his sick wife. It was a monstrous thing to do! Luckily, he was exposed for who he was. He deserves the flack he got and still gets for hurting his wife when he knows that she’s now on a short lease in life.

I applaud Elizabeth for standing proud amidst the scandal surrounding her husband. I do pray that her life be extended and that she be given more strength and courage. And that somehow she find happiness in her remaining time here on earth.

I learned that my friend’s dad passed away due to lung complications. It has been a while since we last saw each other so I don’t really know how it all happened. The last time we talked, she was telling me about her financial problems. Unfortunately, I couldn’t help her in that area that time. I was only able to offer moral support and I hope I was able to help.

I was trying to contact her yesterday but I was told that she’s off somewhere, Outer Banks rentals is what her cousin heard. She deserves a break from it all and I am hoping that she’s enjoying her stay anywhere she is right now.

Lottie will be having her first birthday party very soon. As early as today, her mom is already buying supplies for her birthday party. I told her that she should check out cheap birthday supplies so that she can save money on the supplies and spend more on the food. First birthdays are always celebrated with parties I am sure Lottie’s will be a happy one.

One of my favorite songs of all time. Iris by Goo Goo Dolls. I hope you are all having a good time listening to the song.

Happy Monday!

I have decided to change my old theme for the simple reason that I would like to try something new. I love my old header, in fact, I may just use it again one of these days. But I just feel like a new layout will bring in the productivity that is eluding me for some time now

And it did!

May we all have a productive week ahead.

When I went to a local beauty cum drug store, I noticed that so many diet supplements and fat burners are prominently displayed. It made me realize that women are growing more and more conscious of their physical appearance these days. Nothing wrong there. It’s just that sometimes, media places the wrong emphasis on outer beauty. That I don’t like. There is nothing wrong with being conscious with one’s outer appearance. But then if it becomes too much, like those who are getting cosmetic surgery one after another, then it becomes just plain wrong.

I was looking at old photos this past weekend and I saw one of my mom in breeches when she was around 11 or 12 years old. It reminded me of one of her stories when she was still alive. She told us that she often spent vacations with relatives. We knew that her parents were both busy with their separate lives so she had to be content spending her free time away from school with those who would care to spend it with her.

I felt the whisper of a kiss on my head before I opened my eyes. A smile was on my lips. I was feeling blissful and content. We were together. That’s all that matters…

And then reality hit me like a blow! He was not with me anymore. He’s gone. To another woman’s arms.

All the good emotions vanished with the man I’ve promised myself to.

Sleep is better. It’s bliss.

My mind is stuck in a limbo. It is overflowing with ideas but it won’t command my hands to actually do the writing. I am worried I might lose some of the good ideas if I couldn’t write about it right away. If my brain could only be transferred to memory sticks, I wouldn’t have to worry about losing ideas. Or some post-its might do.
