Gloria de Dapitan: Gloria's Fantasyland

going to the Horror House! This is a photo post for now. I love everything about theme parks. I love the rides and people are just happy. I had so much fun here, my exhaustion was gone and I'm just excited to try the rides. We've entered the Horror House first, It wasn't really scary at all but it was my first time, so I get along with others shouting as if they're scared haha! It was the most memorable ever! The Horror House is the best  for me. We've tried also the Bumper Car, I'm such a noob. My brother would always bump me and my mom, she's really enjoying it. I did not enjoy since I cannot operate the car well. Poor me. It is not everyday that I got the chance to have fun and travel. I can't complain. I am very grateful and bless for these experiences and I will treasure these memories forever.

Dapitan City Tour and Dakak Beach Resort

http://www.fodors.com/news/travel-quote-of-the-week-on-the-stories-of-travel-7420.html I’m so glad I got the chance to travel again but this time with my parents and youngest brother. Every year the company where my Papa works has their summer affair. My Papa and his friends decided to spend the summer in Dapitan City. It was a two days and one night stay in Dakak Beach Resort. It was a very long journey; I just slept through the whole ride since my body is pretty tired with the 2 hrs waiting for the bus and my bag is really heavy! I should have known better, Filipino time is always LATE. Anyway, I did not enjoy the 9 hours trip; it was my first time to travel that long and I didn’t sleep well.  When we arrived in Dapitan, the people are excited to take pictures on the City’s Landmarks. We have a tour guide as well in the bus. Dapitan City is our National Hero’s place, Jose Rizal. He lived there and stayed on that place. Dapitan City is a non commercial place. You can’...

List of Books to Finish

I was really distracted these days that I don't even finish what I've started. Talking about being a Gemini,eh? I've downloaded a lot of pdf books but I keep on ignoring them, as well as my paperback books. When will I start reading all of them? I have 2 classic books pending: Bronte and Austen, and I just give up reading Pride and Prejudice. I started listening to the audio book but I dozed off everytime I tried. I have no patience when it comes to audio books, my imagination is poor compared to reading it and seeing the words, it has more effect on me.  Anyway, below are the books I have to finish. Eat, Pray, Love: Elizabeth Gilbert -   I'm enjoying every chapter of Elizabeth's journey  and I don't want to end it right away. You can see a lot of progress on her character in this journey, she's bold and I like it so much for being her. I love to check her development on finding enlightenment and love. Rich Dad Poor Dad: Robert Kiyosaki - I realized...

8th week: weight loss challenge

Image
Our weight loss challenge ended last April 19 and I can't believe I survived! Yay!! I should give myself credits for working hard. I didn't expect to lose a lot of weight during this challenge. I've started at 62 kgs and my final weight after the 8 weeks challenge is 58 kgs. I have lost a total of 4 kgs during the process. You can check my IG account to view my before and after photo. I had some rough weeks but the challenge made me changed a lot of my bad habits. There are a lot of times when I just want to nap during my break (I just love napping so much that it takes me an hour napping haha! I know, it’s not a nap already) but I opted to exercise. I woke up early to jog even though I slept late the other night. I was really highly motivated to be active whenever possible. Amazingly, I've been drinking more water a day (2-3 ltrs). I've been taking my bfast smoothie every single day without a missed and I've been practicing to eat slowly. I have a food diary ...

7th week: weight loss challenge

Image
My update is super late since our weight loss challenge ended last week. Anyhow, I can still clearly remembered our 7th weigh-in. Are you familiar with the 5 stages of grief? The stages where you got into a break-up or loss of a loved one? These are: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance. I got this one while watching the RomCom K-Drama "My Love from Another Star" (haha!). Well, it was somehow relevant to this post. My point here is, I am depressed! I have gained .8 to my previous weight! waaaaaaaa. I've seen it coming though. I was totally reckless and I know it was totally my fault, my FAULT *cries* . The thought of gaining a little weight is so depressing to me. I should be thankful that it was just .8, right? I should do better next time. Fighting!Fighting!Fighting!Fighting! Never ever give up!!! a little something to cheer myself up. http://fitnesstreats.tumblr.com/post/29396922620

I've been like this hmm I mean, I can relate to this.  http://pleasestopbeingsad.tumblr.com/post/71227952558

5th week: weight loss challenge

Image
I am so happy that finally I have lost 2 lbs on our fifth weigh-in. *progress is progress* I remembered last time I did not lose weight. My current weight now is 128.4 lbs and my weight before I started this challenge was around 136.4 lbs, so I have lost a total of 8 lbs already which is a total of 4kgs. weeeeeeeee I am super happy! I have a meal plan but you know sometimes I can't follow it because of food shortage hahaha! we are not rich, ya'know. But I always opt to healthy alternatives like protein rich food: eggs and tuna (sardines). Plus, I have crazy cravings once in a while which I blame to hormonal changes or maybe, I just lack discipline. hehe  Here's a sure way to resist my cravings. I will, I mean I should try to remember this 4 Ds. http://fitnesstreats.tumblr.com/post/80673152400
