Rest Day

I have not been feeling well for several days. I was able to rest today because we had power interruption for a few hours. I had no choice but to sleep after I watched “The Town” starring Ben Affleck on the newly charged computer.

I munched on some chips to see if my tastebuds are ok while watching the video only to feel a vile taste in my mouth so I had to throw up.  Ugh.

In a way, getting sick means having to rest from work but housework I can’t escape. I’d rather do housework while I’m feeling better than when I’m not.

I wish I’d be well soon. I don’t like the feeling of being parched at all times.

Race Kit

Last week, the race kit arrived for the 2011 Unilab Active Health Run United 1. And I’m not ready yet, not then when the race kit arrived and not now.

2011 Run United 1

Sigh.

I think I’m hitting a plateau with regards to my fitness routine and instead of losing weight, I gained more. I don’t know what’s happening, been dancing and hooping myself crazy on a day to day basis for several weeks but last week I stopped abruptly. Maybe it was because we had a Mr Fix-it guy coming to work inside the house as well as on the roof. Maybe because I was too lazy to get up on my feet and move.

Someone else suggested I try the best diet pills for women but I’m not sure I’m ready to do just that yet.

I’m going to try again. Tomorrow. I hope.

Billboard Confusion

Showbizlandia had been abuzzed about that billboard that didn’t look right. This issue sparked a verbal spat and the said photo is seen in this magazine feature:

To those who saw this in a billboard along the metro’s busiest highway (that includes me, though I wasn’t able to take a photo because I was dumbfounded) were quite surprised and probably asked a lot of questions. Did she have a non-invasive procedure? Did she use a lipo 6? How rigid was the fitness program and diet, if there were any?

I see nothing wrong in the picture BUT as my children exclaimed, SC doesn’t look like that on television so why is she pictured as such? Uh-oh.

Is it really thank you MF or thank you Adobe?

Handmade Notepad Materials

It has been almost a month ago since I blogged about the handmade notepad I made.

When I was too excited to make these, I used small tools to make the notepads. Good thing we have these because from time to time, or when inspiration strikes, I do some crafts. The following were the things I used to make these:

    Materials for a Handmade Notepad

  • cutter for the colored papers
  • scissors to trim the sides of the cut papers
  • glue
  • stickers and scrap-booking embellishments
  • one hole puncher for the ring
  • one-inch and half an inch rings, depending on how many papers to be used Continue Reading »
