Our trainer weigh us (my sister and me) earlier and i just lost 2 pounds. Not bad because I just hit the gym for 3 days last week but I’m still a bit frustrated. I was hoping I had lost at least 5lbs. but it’s just 2lbs.

I just hope that I’ll lose more than 5lbs. next Tuesday. I’ve been restricting myself from eating fatty or sweet foods. I also hope that I could stick with my Quaker Oats diet. Hay, it’s so hard to lose weight. I really wish I’ll lose a lot of pounds fast because if not, I might be frustrated again then eat like a bear. Please, please, let me be a skinny girl soon!

My friends mom used to be a beauty and her skin, an envy to women her age. Yesterday, I saw her and I’m shocked to see that her face is now full of age spots. She’s also tanned and her skin’s wrinkly. I’m sad to see that she looks old.

I told my Aunt about my friend’s mom and she told me that there are treatments for age spots. There are creams that we could use when we have dark spots on our face. Well, I don’t know if I should tell my friend about the treatment because she might get offended. I cannot tell her that her mom’s face is spotty and wrinkly. I just hope that her mom will become beautiful again.

Since hitting the gym, I’ve been dreaming of wearing sexy clothes. Honestly I’m getting a bit impatient in losing these unwanted pounds. In fact I have been Googling for quick weight loss that is suitable for me.

My sister and I made a bet that whoever loses weight the most is a winner of 3 clothes and pair of shoes of whatever brand that she likes. Haha! I’m gonna do all my best to win. 3 clothes + shoes and a sexy body, winner!

Last Tuesday my sister and I went to the gym and started to burn fats. That day I was tired but soooo happy because finally I hit the gym. I promise myself that I’ll lose weight half of my size. I really hope and pray that I’ll stick with my goal until the end. Wish, wish, wish.

During our first day we did a fitness test and my gosh, I got a “very poor” marks. The trainer told me that I easily get tired and I’m prone to a lot of diseases. I’m also 80lbs. overweight and that really sucks! 80 pounds! How did it happen? I let myself balloon into a cow. I really promise that I’ll lose half of my size before my club membership ended. Oh wish me luck!

Look how cute he is. Ooooh I so love Finn!!!

What a cutie!

Weeee! Glee!

My Bff’s wedding is on December but right now, they’re doing all the preparations. Photo shoots, looking for accessories and all that. I’ve been helping her also in finding the perfect wedding theme and gowns. Yesterday we met at a nearby Cafe and we had a humongous chitchat. She’s been telling me about invitations that she saw online and is asking about my opinions. The invitations are beautiful! I love it, it’s perfect for their wedding. Jeez, I just hope that we don’t encounter major problems. I can’t help but be happy for my best friend.

I’m dieting for the nth time then I’ll eat and gain back or rather gain a lot of pounds again. I’m sick and tired of this situation but I really can’t help it. I’ll admit I don’t have self-discipline and it’s sooo hard for me not to eat rice and meat. Now, I’m going to enroll in a gym so I could beat the bulge and to be skinny. Another is I’m preparing myself for my BFF’s wedding. I’m so glad that it was move on December because it should have been next month. Next month, imagine that and I’m still fat! Hay, thank God it was move to December at least I can be as skinny as a model at that time and look good on my gown. How I wish, this will come true!

Last Monday we went to Divisoria and buy some stuffs. My sister and I also bought a rubber shoes for our gym. I love shoes and if I have lots of money, I’ll have a room full of shoes. My dream is to buy a designer shoes and I’ll surely cry when I achieve that. I also like browsing online and find a good shoes. My BFF who’s also a shoe addict told me about mbt, largest selection of footwear. I nearly drooled after seeing those gorgeous shoes. Oh, if only I have money right now, I’m really gonna buy some of them. I love shoes!

Ooooh I can’t wait to watch Glee again! I am a fan of them on facebook and I’ve been watching all their teasers. I really can’t wait to see Finn, Mr. Schu and the golden girl Jane Lynch. I love all the songs that they’re going to sing. I’m going to watch Oprah, too. They just guested and I saw that they sung “Don’t Stop Believing”, one of my fave Glee songs.

All I can say is… Yey! Glee!

Aunt Mindy, my other aunt whose now residing in North Carolina, also join us in the discussion about insurance and a bit chitchat catching up on our lives. She told us that she recently got a health insurance in NC that is suitable for her and uncle John. Now, she’s not worried about their future. They really need health insurance because uncle John is getting sickly lately. He’s been sick last week and lately he’s been complaining of Arthritis. I hope he’ll be better soon.

It’s nice to have a chat with your relatives. I miss them so much. I haven’t seem them for a long time and I just wish I could visit them soon. If getting a visa is not that hard, I’m sure I’ll always fly just to be with them.

With all the diseases coming out and you don’t know when accidents will strike, it’s better to be prepared with everything. My Aunt Maria had just called and she told me that her neighbor’s house was burned last night and she’s helping them. She let them stay in her house and she’s asking other neighbors to give clothes for the victims.

While my aunt was telling us the story, my other aunt butted in and she’s telling us the importance of having an insurance. She’s been bugging our relatives about getting one. She told us about instant life insurance quote that she was able to get. Thinking about it, an insurance is like having a security blanket. We should really get one.

The weather here in the Philippines is super-duper hot! As in you cannot go out because the sun will surely burn your skin. Okay, I’m exaggerating, but really try to go out around 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM then tell me if your skin’s not burn. There are warnings in the news about heat stroke and this is serious because several people died already. You also need to bring water everywhere you go. If I where you, if there’s no need to go out then just stay at your home. It will lessen your risk of getting a heat stroke and you will surely save money.

My friends mom was hospitalized due to heart problem. Fortunately they are now residing in the USA and it’s a big help because the hospitals there are more advance than those in here. Sheila, my friend told me about the oximeter that they bought for her mom. Her mom’s resting at home now but she still needs to be monitored. Hearing that her mom is sick makes me so sad because it reminds me of the days when my mom is sick. Hearing somebody’s sick really breaks my heart. I hope and pray that she will be okay soon.

My sister left for  Baguio earlier around 5:30 AM but unfortunately she and her friend arrived there at 2:30 PM due to heavy traffic! It’s a holiday today here in the Philippines and it’s a long weekend so everybody’s going out of town. My poor sister! She had to endure 9 hours of traveling and she’s not use to that. I just wish that she’ll have a good time tonight and for the next two days. She needs a vacation, this is actually a much awaited rest that she is longing for. She went with her friends so I bet she’ll have a blast! I miss Baguio and hope to see it again soon.

Tomorrow we will celebrate my Dad’s 53rd birthday! His birthday is actually yesterday but since it’s Good Friday, we cannot celebrate at all. After hearing  Mass tomorrow, we will go to the mall and eat at Gerry’s Grill. I can’t wait to eat out. After fasting, eating out? I know, so bad right? Oh well, I’ll just watch what I’ll eat!

I love summer but I hate it when it’s too hot and my skin is starting to break out. Now, I fear that I’ll have acne again. So sad! I don’t like acne, who wants acne by the way? I’ve been searching online for acne home remedies and I found some medicines that will eliminate them. I’m thinking of buying some for prevention or when I have acne again. I just hope this is really effective.

A while ago, my friend and I are talking about ways to lose weight. We made a pact that we should be slim and sexy when we meet again this June. My friend told me about safe fat burners that she saw online and she’s been thinking of using it. If it is effective on her,maybe I’ll try some. I’m more on eating healthy and exercising right now. I need to burn baby burn these fats! I just wish the fat burners are effective so if I’m tired (lazy) to exercise, I’ll try one too.

I’m crazy on watermelon right now. Here are some facts from Wikipedia on my fave fruit:

Watermelon is not only great on a hot summer day, this delectable thirst-quencher may also help quench the inflammation that contributes to conditions like asthma, atherosclerosis, diabetes, colon cancer, and arthritis.

Watermelon contains about 6% sugar and 92% water by weight. As with many other fruits, it is a source of vitamin C.

Notable is the inner rind or the watermelon which is usually a light green or white color. This area is edible and contains many hidden nutrients that most people avoid eating due to its void taste.

The amino acid citrulline was first extracted from watermelon and analysed. Watermelons contain a significant amount of citrulline and after consumption of several kg an elevated concentration is measured in the blood plasma; this could be mistaken for citrullinaemia or other urea cycle disorder.

Watermelon rinds are also edible, and sometimes used as a vegetable. In China, they are stir-fried, stewed, or more often pickled. When stir-fried, the de-skinned and de-fruited rind is cooked with olive oil, garlic, chili peppers, scallions, sugar and rum. Pickled watermelon rind is also commonly consumed in the Southern US, Russia, Ukraine, Romania and Bulgaria.[citation needed] In the Balkans, especially Serbia, watermelon slatko is also popular. Watermelon juice can also be made into wine.

Watermelon is also mildly diuretic.

Watermelons contain large amounts of beta carotene.

Watermelon with red flesh is a significant source of lycopene.

A traditional food plant in Africa, this fruit has potential to improve nutrition, boost food security, foster rural development and support sustainable landcare.
