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.
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.

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:
- 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 »

Have you signed up for any of these online discount sites? I did with two or three though I haven’t got a major buy yet like some of my friends did.
I would love to but if I do, I’d probably end up broke. Good thing I can still manage to keep control since I use a debit card and not a credit card, I have to be practical and realistic about these things.
How does one weigh the options when buying discount vouchers?
- Buy what is needed. For example a buffet offering is nice if there is a birthday celebration within the months you can use the vouchers. If you are allowed to get as many as 5 vouchers, then go for it.
- An out of town hotel stay is great but make sure you get the plane tickets before the offer expire or else you wasted your money with it.
- Which one do you really need a spa appointment or acne scar treatments? If you can afford both, then go for it but if you can afford only one, then get the deal that you like better.
In the end, you get the best deals for the deals you really need and not because the deal was a good buy.

Are you a directionally challenged navigator? Do you point to the left and say right? Do you point to the right and say left? Do get “lost” when looking at a street map so you want to get that latest gps map installed in your car?
Thank God for visual signs like a McDonald’s or a convenience store at the corner street where you’re supposed to turn left. Or was it right?
Rotundas or roundabouts feel like that spinning wheel the gerbils are playing on, it goes round and round to you and it feels like you can’t find the street where you are supposed to have exited after going around 4 times. or was it six?
Don’t worry, it is not bad to stop and ask for directions.
If in doubt, ask.
Left or right? Don’t ask me, I’m lost too 😉

When my son had his turn to report in front of his class last year, he wanted to bring a laptop with him for presentation. I had to say “NO” because I wanted him to do “manual preparations”. I helped him prepare by choosing pictures to print for a mini-album.
We didn’t have enough time to have poster printing so he had to write the important concepts in his report in several big brown papers called “Manila papers” which his classmates taped on the writing boards. See a blog post about the report here.
Hubby helped by buying souvenir items as well as food samplers for the classmates to have. These items were a big hit!
Much as I wanted the children to use technology in their studies, doing the low tech and manual labor way would not make them none the wiser.

I’m ready for summer with my new pair of Dupé flipflops! The pair below is Dupé Chique. Woot!
I love the way this pair feels on my feet. The Dupe slippers has fish scale pattern on the sole for better flexibility. The new logo is on the sole and strap of each of the pair. It is 100% rubber.
The heel massager is pure bliss because it gives me a feeling of cushion.
This particular Dupé has Gel XHP which means H = high comfort, X = expanded fully sealed coating for better flexibility and the use of P = Penta polymer material for durability.
Why should you get a pair of Dupé slippers? Continue Reading »
