Overcoming my Own Insecurities
This was our daughter’s picture taken two days before her 3rd birthday. That pose by the way is one of my future poses she had stolen from me. I’m so in love with the studio pictures, I’ve showed it off to my officemates and posted it on my Facebook account right away (my bragging rights, what can i say..). One day later, I was overwhelmed with the comments, and the numbers of Likes, and they were saying how cute and beautiful she is and that she’s a “mini me” version of me.
Mad at your Spouse? Write him a Eulogy
I cried so hard watching Zsa Zsa Padilla’s eulogy speech for his longtime partner Dolphy, it was really heartbreaking. I was so caught up in the moment, I suddenly imagined myself in that position, and now writing my own eulogy speech in my head. Not that I want my husband to be dead?! Of course not. Writing a eulogy speech for my husband has always been my way to cope up with the lumps and bumps of our married life.
Our marriage is not perfect, no one is anyway I think. Sometimes when you have those big fights, emotions are at high and either one of you started thinking of leaving the other. Not trying to sound like a shrink here, but one of the things I learned from my marriage is that, you don’t want to make nasty decisions when you’re angry. You have to think everything through. When things are not okay. Get out of the house, spend some time alone, chill out and start writing your eulogy speech. And you know what, it feels good afterwards. You’ll find yourself running home, giving passionate hugs and kisses to your spouse.
Operation Healthy Sexy Mama is Back
Can’t believe I’m in this road again. Remember six months ago I vowed that “I will lose 15 kilos more but I’m not in a hurry to lose it all this year”? Seems like I’ve been enjoying too much of my weight loss, now I gained 5 kilos, and I’m 75 kilograms again!”. Whew! Atleast I haven’t gained back all the 10 kilos I lost last year, well just the half of it.
What went wrong? Well, I was able to keep up with my no rice regimen, but because of my busy schedule(just another excuse) I wasn’t able to exercise often like I used to before and I stopped looking at the weight scale again. Keeping the weight off is more difficult than losing weight, and that’s the real challenge, but anyways, lesson learned: portion control, always check your weight, exercise, exercise and exercise, got it!
Songiah’s Fondant Cupcakes for Happy Moments
These are the Songiah’s cupcakes I ordered for my Grandma’s 82nd birthday. My Lola’s celebration was a hit and so are the cupcakes! I think I ate 4 out of 16 cupcakes. I wish i had ordered more! The design is simple yet beautiful, and the chocolaty taste was phenomenal. Ok, I maybe just over exaggerating, but it really looks good and it definitely tastes good. I’m happy that my Lola loved it and so is my daughter!
