How I Lose Weight

Losing weight is a choice, getting fat is optional. That has been my mantra when it comes to managing my weight. Recently, I have come to realize that getting to your ideal weight is a lifetime process. I gain weight and I lose it and the cycle goes on and on.

There is no such thing as the perfect diet or exercise plan. It’s our lifestyle and eating habits that determine how small or big we would be. How I lose weight is no secret. I just decrease my calorie intake and increase my physical activity. I don’t deprive myself of any food (though there was a time I gave up on pork and soda!), I just try to eat everything in moderation.

Happy Momma

My mom laughs a lot. She has a cheerful disposition. She also has a great sense of humor and she doesn’t even know that. She’s like the clown in our family. There’s no dull moment with her around. I think my mom really suits my dad because he’s a very quiet man.

My mom is a happy woman but she can be emotional at times. At one point in her life, she was a crying lady. It was when she cried like a waterfall wall when her sister died and she didn’t have money to fly to the province to attend her burial service. I was still a kid then and didn’t understand a thing. I just saw her crying and instinctively, I cried with her. Haha.

Crisp Peso Bills

I had some money changed to new and crisp Philippine peso bills (P20’s and P100s) through my SIL who works in a bank. Crisp peso bills are a must during Christmas here in Manila. They are a good alternative to the usual presents given and received during Christmas.

I used to collect crisp peso bills as a kid. I actually preferred receiving them over material gifts given to me by my generous godparents. Now that I’m an adult, I still keep some of them and find it hard to spend them because they smell good, feel nice in the hand and look good inside my wallet.

Merry Christmas!

Christmas has finally arrived! I hope you are having a merry one. The hubby and I joined my family for Noche Buena last midnight and we just got back home from my parents’ place this morning.

On our way home, we saw lots of children dressed to the nines ready to pay their godparents a visit for their aguinaldo. I felt happy just looking at them. Oh what joy the Christmas spirit brings!

Christmas Gift Ideas for Girls

I was asked by the hubby the other day to get a gift for one of his goddaughters and I said yes instantly. It gave me reason to shop, after all. Haha. Whenever I buy gifts for girls, my top choice is always dresses. I love seeing girls wearing dresses. Beautiful dresses make girls look feminine and fragile which are what they should look like at such a young age.

I usually buy dresses for girls at the department store section of the mall. There’s a lot of brands to choose from in the place. The more choices you have, the better. But of course another factor to consider is your budget. Now if you could find a dress that’s beautiful and priced reasonably at the same time, you’re lucky.

Holiday Rush

Going to the mall a few days before Christmas is not the best idea I had today. SM Bacoor this afternoon when we went there, and up to the time we left it, was jampacked with people. I really felt the holiday rush each second I was there. Like seriously.

Good thing I was with the hubby and my brother who are very patient people. They let me do my thing (what else but shopping!) without rushing me up. While my brother and I were looking for gifts to complete our lists, the hubby hit the cinema house to watch a movie.
