its 5.07pm and all I've had today was half cup of veggie soup, 2 kiwi fruit, 2 bananas, an apple... I can't do the soup diet... it was such a struggle for me to eat/drink the soup... each spoonful I wanted to gak... OMG soup diet is not for me..
I have however, survived so far... I haven't had anything but fruits..but will I survive dancing tonight without my stomach rumbling? I guess I'll have to see... Is this a healthy way to loose weight? forcing myself to do things?? mmmm... and and and its ruining my patience with others... this may be a crush diet which is a no go from what I hear...
so what to do? maybe try another approach in the diet world... lemon detox diet?? shakes?? i can't do shakes done it before and just like the soup it makes me gak... suppress diet pills? the only problem with that is, I have to take it 30 mins before eating.. err I forget... Oh gosh, how am I going to survive... 1st day not even an entire day and all I can think about is to eat...
I think the best way to loose is to eat healthily all the way... we shall see... the night is young.. I am still surviving - will power... otherwise jokingly I mentioned to a friend - plastic surgery here I come... hihi
will finish my blog later tonight and keep u guys posted... till later... xoxo
11.02pm reflecting on what happened today... as I FAILED! =( i gave in for dinner and ate... i incorporated lots of veggies in the meal but as I robbed my body of proper food i ate a lot.. =( i had rice... god help me.. and i ate ... not a lot, but instead of stopping i just ate... now i'm thinking what i can do... I love food, i'm a cook so I love food... who doesn't love food... i dont deny it...
so the only way really to enjoy food and loose weight is to lessen my intake, incorporate more veggies, fruit, nuts into my daily intake of food and plenty of water... that i can do... i will do 5 small meals a day... a handful of nuts, fruits during snack time, and if I'm hungry will munch on a fruit... and of course exercise... that i am okay with, as I am determine to exercise even if it kills me =)
i need to research more abt the health bit... what kind of foods are good and what are bad... so in the coming days I will write down what I've eaten... I will also note down everything that I pop in my mouth so that I can see what I have eaten... no cheating - cheating is just robbing yourself... so yeah...
today I failed... tomorrow is a new day i will perservere and soldier on...
till next tomorrow... xoxo

Happy Halloween...
Happy Halloween... good thing about being in Australia, we don't really celebrate Halloween... we don't dress up, we don't decorate our homes with scary stuff and most of all no candies!!!!!! no sweets... =) hihi but this house is full of those...
I've been thinking of this blog this morning as a good friend (no names hihi) suggested that I should talk about only 1 thing... 1 thing? but its my life.. 1 thing? I aint restricted in doing just 1 thing... so I'm thinking (yes, I think a lot too hihi) how can I make my blog seem shorter? well I guess just dont talk about everything that happens and just highlight the good and bad bits? but for me to do that I will have to explain the situation for you to understand... mmmmz well this is just a try out so we'll see.. still early days.. gotta find other blogs to see how it goes.. =))
then after dinner, I received a call, an overseas call I was so surprised thought something bad happened... well wasn't bad bad but it was bad enough... you see my bff (P) well he's inlove with a certain someone who he cannot have (M)... "P" has been hurt by "M" and so P's friend they've been conscious ever since. I have spoken to my bff lastnight but I guess I only know his side, so the call was from "MM" and now understands their point of view... I love both, and as I have not yet hanged with "M" then I don't know how to judge him... but from what I hear I am not liking any bit.. If only I can fly to see for my own eyes and stomp my foot down and resolve this, I can't... I hate to see where this will lead too...
Noone is to blame but of course "P" has to choose - happiness or friendship as it's clashing... I'd hate to be in his shoes but I know from experience that if its the heart that you are going to challenge, friendship surely looses, no matter what... I will be praying that this does not happen.. *cries*
But in a brighter note, my phone bill will surely be high (sister going to kill me) but it's worth every penny as I just want my friends to be happy...
that's all that I request... happiness..
another brighter note mmmm, I'm happy with my purchases and and and I'm excited about my diet tomorrow...
I guess that's all from me... I will pray tonight for my friends back in Phils that all works out... I will surely send an email to both.. it hurts in my heart that this is happening..
Morale of today: think before u jump... when you're in love all things around you is nothing as you are happy but lessons will be learnt when its too late... no matter how much our friendship means to us and we even swear that nothing will come about it, there will always be - LOVE... Love is a good feeling to have but once trust has been broken with others around you well... yes...
Good Luck to me and Good Luck to all...
till next time... xoxo

So my day... didn't leave the house till after midday... went to DFO (outlets) to treat my dad... bought him shirts, jeans, shoes - he so well deserve it and getting ready for his long trip to Philippines so might as well go shopping.. so we did.. treated myself too - cookie sheet pan, cupcake papers, cupcake stand, BIG cupcake tin & tea towels... check out my pic.. lovin' it.. simple pleasures of my life to see my parents happy and my little kitchen gadgets.. =))
Been a little naughty ate angus burger, chips & sprite @ Hungrys then when I got home prepared my "veggie soup", made buko fruit salad (ala filipino style - fruit cocktail in the can, with cream, young coconut in sugar, nata de coco & palm seed)... as lunch was rather late, didn't have dinner till 8pm. Dinner was longganisa, salted duck egg with tomatoes, vinegar with chilli and some roast pork from lastnight... change of menu from lastnight that's for sure.. hihi

Blog addik
OMG, I can't wait till Monday... I've been thinking of all this plans in my head of what to write on Monday.. I've also been prepping for my big day - my diet ~ to a healthier me... but I can't wait!! hihi
So I guess my starting date was yesterday, but my diet remains to be Monday 1st of November.. hihi i'm prepping... =P
OK.. so where was I... after work mmmm had plans... firstly I was going to a Salsa Halloween but I opted to go to a good friends place instead new house... beautiful with views and all... and most of all its close to one of my fav shops, IKEA where my problems tend to go away and be somewhere else - carefree, problem free...
Her place was beautiful, no furniture yet as her moving date was yesterday (Saturday).. had plenty of food, even though there's just a handful of us there, there were tonnes of food... I had to make a detour and buy some Granville Chicken... worth it 'coz I love their garlic sauce, I can live with that and leb bread.. yummmyyyy... hihi it was technically my last supper for awhile that is.. =)
From the stress I've had in the last few weeks (family) I wanted to go lastnight because I need to unwind and I have not seen my friends for awhile - not complete but it will do, sure we chat all the time.. via email chats during work.. I don't care I need to de-stress.. hehe but we don't see each other too often now because they are either married or with a kid.. only a handful are still single..another blog abt my friends - no names of course.. anyways, so went over to catch up as the new home owners just came from Hawaii too... I wanted my "pasalubong" (gift) keyring and shot glass and updates of how nice it is at Hawaii and when will we all go... Oh not forgetting the kids also... loving E and M.. so cute... both just over 1year old and destinied to be together ;) hehe and M's walking debut... too cute I love kids wonder when mine will pop... haha..
SO that was my night... great laughs, great entertainment from the kids, lots of food, beautiful apartment... nice and cool night...
So Saturday, got woken up early by my mom screaming as she accidentally let go of "duke" my doggie's leash or the leash broke or whatever, woke up ready to run after my dog, thanks to my neighbours quick thinking and able to stop duke from running away... went back to bed, fell asleep woke up a few times, turned on the tv and slept till 12.30. If my parents didn't come home and asked me if I was going to woop woop (far west) then I wouldn't wake up at all until I'm ready...
so there... went to the west - mom going crazy about the filipino groceries we bought, tasted some dishes YUKS.. turned off with the palabok the instant is much better, turon was chewy, tapioca balls were err ok.. had a fun time though buying lots of fruits and veggies prepping for my detox on Monday.. I'll be making the soup (my version) and have that through out the day of Monday... I just hope I last...
Got home with all the groceries, had breaky/lunch/mirienda (afternoon tea) just after 4pm... had previously bought lechon kawali (tasty but no salt), pancit bihon ehh it's okay but really? needs patis (fish sauce) & calamansi (cumquat) or lemon... and for dinner thinking of roast pork belly with side dishes - either bokchoi with sauce or baked mushrooms & asparagus with a little butter.. still thinking...
had late dinner... had the roast, but mainly munchin on asparagus and mushrooms.. no rice OMG serious, not a grain.. before that I have been munchin on watermelon... I was reading this article yesterday (I'll post on Monday) and to come to think of it, it is so true.. when you read it, u will know what I mean... so I guess I'm easing myself to my diet on Monday...yAhooo
tomorrow though my dad said he will make "munggo" (mung beans dish with meat) with the left over pork roast.. wahhh not fair, hopefully I am able to eat without too much rice...I guess we shall see tomorrow...
then had a chat with my bff... so cute but not so happy.. dont like how he's torn apart.. all I can really do at this time is to be by his side and to show him both sides of the story and clarify... ooh big words hehe
i will pray hard that all will be okay... time will tell...
mmm what else, I think that's it from me... today was all about food and prepping and I chat too much... I think I might blog 2x a day now.. so I don't forget.. hahaha we'll see =) hehe
morale of this blog ~ honestly life is a blessing... life is good..LG hehe but seriously...I am happy... I have problems who doesn't *shrugs*.. if only you know but I know I will get through it.. with ur family and friends to keep u sane then life is a bliss, for me today was a bliss... =) as I say to others.. tackle it bit by bit.. baby steps.. there is always a light at the end of a dark tunnel.. u will get thru it... coz I have and surely others have too...
till next time... xoxo

My 1st blog - Exciting
Ohh Ohh *bum* dance... my 1st blog... OMG so much stuff to learn... who would have thought there's so much you need to learn apart from just writing your thoughts... hehehe
I've been wanting to do this for awhile now, and today is the day I finally did it. I guess I'm moving forward... baby steps baby steps...
Intro why I wanted to start my blog... well many reasons... my passion for life.. the ups and downs of being me and how i come about resolving it i guess.. no matter how low your life have been you just have to move forward to make it better... you ask its hard if your low.. of course its hard, i didn't say its easy, there's been times many actually that i would like to end it all and the whole world will be better off, i struggled big time... but still here i am, who wakes up each morning glad to be alive... no matter how our lives are at, we must live.. for ourselves.. if we want to make a difference then we have to tackle on... if we fall, then we get up and go on...
i hope this life experiences help others...you see, I tend to keep all feelings inside as I have a hard time in talking to others about my life... I love to listen though and if I've experienced I will share my findings if not then I will try to understand.
this blog will be about everything... from love life - loneliness at this time =) hihi, to my cooking/baking, work place, family struggles, life's struggles... anything I've done or experienced in the day... and hopefully have a lesson after it all...
this is just a test blog... my starting date is Nov 1 2010... and so is my diet.. haha thats right, another push to this blog is my diet... my struggles...
you see, my weight balloons... so hoping that this time around I will loose it and not gain back... I did loose some when I went to the Philippines as I could not eat because of the heat, now I'm back I eat.. OMG so the weight I lost I gained... mmm not good...
anyways, that's it so far about me... till Monday... I'll be bad this weekend and start fresh on Monday... =)
