Story 2: Herbalife Journey

Image
source Hey there, as I have mentioned in my previous post regarding my weight  lose program using Herbalife products , I am now here to present an update. I know this is a bit late, but I was making sure I keep track on my progress every month.  Before I weigh around 138 lbs and now I am at 126 lbs already!! I have lost a total of 12 lbs in just 3 months.  I have lost that much without exercise, how much more if I put an effort in doing cardio exercises at least 3x a week. wew. I am so happy, I feel lighter already and my friends told me that I look good and sexy than before haha! I know I am not now at my ideal weight which is at 112 lbs but guess what I am getting there, weeeeeeee. I just have to take it day by day and those days will add up in the long run. I am positive. I have lost my motivation and feeling out of sorts lately but I have to pull myself up. I was kind of slightly ill this past few weeks actually so I forgot about my program....

I know, I will be.

source It has been a hard and sad week. It was heart-breaking but I know it's God's will. My grannies are now finally at rest. I will miss my grandma and grandpa.  Especially my tatay, he's been with us since I was just a baby. He's with us through the ups and downs, storms and sunshines. He never leaves us. We have good memories together, and I remembered he taught me how to play the guitar and flute, unfortunately I'm not a fan of musical instruments.  Tatay, I will miss you so bad. I love you so much and I know you're finally at peace. You are now free from pain and suffering. I'm sorry I haven't visited you as often as I could, you know that I am trying. I just couldn't bear to see you alone at home and no one's taking care of you. How i wish I could take care of you but I can't bring back the past. I love you and you will always be in my heart.  I know everything will be okay soon.  I love you Lola and Tatay, Rest In P...

Mantianak Botanical Garden and Zoological Park

Image
Last Sunday, we had a great adventure in Mantinanak, SugbongCogon. It was my first time to be there and I am excited to finally meet the Siberian tigers! Yes they are pretty huge and so cute. They look so cute but they're dangerous.  look at them, aren't they cute? The other one was sleeping. The weather is just too hot that  day. This tiger is the biggest of them. Scary but cute. My nephew loves these tigers. He wanted to see them over and over again. We are tired of walking already, the place is huge since it has a lot of animals.  These includes parrots,eagles, ostrich,snakes,sheep,goats,fishes, crocodiles,chickens,monkeys,deer and dogs. They also have this cute pony.

When in Rome

Image
"The whole point of love is to put someone else's needs above your own"   Beth was unlucky when it comes to love. She’s a young hardworking New Yorker.  She feels hopeless after a terrible heartache. When she went to Rome to attend her sister’s wedding, she met the best man of the groom Nick. Well, they have a good start, obviously Nick was attracted to her and she felt the same. But when she saw Nick kissing with other woman, she realized she was stupid for flirting with him. So she went to the Fountain of Love, drunk and her impulse told her to pick up those coins in the fountain. The Fountain of Love is a fountain where people throw coins and wish for their true love to come. – That’s kinda cute. Hehe.  Anyway, when she’s back in New York, Nick was calling her, wanted to ask her out and some weird guys was stalking her, giving her gifts and flowers. It was said that in the legend if you take a coin out of the fountain the person who threw it wil...

Palm Sunday and Facing the Giants

Image
PALM SUNDAY . It has been a year that I went to church alone with the similar event. This year, I'm unaccompanied again. Well, it’s not that bad to be alone sometimes.  Alone but not lonely or sad.  I decided to attend church on the evening instead in the morning. I usually woke up late in a Sunday morning. Good thing, my mama and my little brother went early for mass. They have a blessed palm branch when they got home. One reason why I decided to attend mass late is that I want to watch the movie Facing the Giants in the afternoon. It was a recommended movie and it has a good rating in IMDB. Facing the Giants is truly an inspiring movie. The situation in the movie was realistic; you can have the same problem like Coach Grant has. You are bombarded with a lot of problems in life that makes you want to give up.  He was having a bad year being a coach in the football team and the school board members want him out, worst thing is he discovered that he was sterile; he...

Wishful summer ideas

Image
“ And I wanna be free, Wind in my hair , Salt on my skin, Sun in the air ~ free    Time flies so fast and before I knew its summer already. Speaking of summer since April and May is the month of summer here in the Philippines.  I was really thinking of a vacation, a trip or something to break away from all the hustle and bustle in the city life. To break the every-single-day routine. I don’t want to think about work, I just want to enjoy the summer and to have fun. I missed the beach and the cozy wind.  I don’t have summer plans yet, I am not even sure if I have the budget for it. Anyway, I want to go to Dakak this April or May, it was a nice place really. I told my friends about it; how I wish they still remember that time we are talking and planning about going there this summer. I am pretty sure they are interested. They are kind of busy people also like me.   My best idea of summer, if my budget permits, I would love to go into a resort, have a ...

Persuasion by Jane Austen

‘‘ You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope...I have loved none but you I should have posted this last month but my brain is buzzing. I was thinking a lot of different things at the same time and my schedule was crazy! I am not really into classics, whoops! but I promise myself to give it a try. It all started when I read  To Kill A Mockingbird . I started to buy Jane Austen's books out of curiosity. What is it like to read a classic novel? I don't want to make a book review, I'm afraid I might not give the justice it deserves. I'm not good with reviews but below is my thoughts about the book.  source Anne was engaged to Captain Frederick Wentworth however she was persuaded by her friend Lady Russell to broke off her engagement with him. Anne decided to end the relationship due to family's pressure and rejection. The family's rejection was because of  Wenthworth's lack of fortune and position in the society. Eight years after, Anne and ...
