Hello there.
I guess I’m back to the blogging world. Not for good that I’m sure. It’s been a hectic 4 months. I’ve been everywhere (literally). I’ve lost and gained and gained and lost a few pounds. I still feel I have to loose more. A lot of my clothes still doesn’t fit me the way it used to 2 years ago. What to do, what to do. I do my best to exercise at least twice a week. A little bit of stretching here and there. I drink lots of water and juice. I eat 2 big meals a day (as in a cup of rice and ulam). No snacks. No dessert. No coke and less sugar on my coffee and milo. BUT it still not WORKING! Could it be because I couldn’t give up RICE? I can’t. I really can’t. HELP Me…
I just spend an entire paragraph about my diet dilemma. I wasn’t planning on talking about that here but it just came out of nowhere. Oh well.
So why I’m here (again). I couldn’t sleep. I’ve been awake for 18 hours now. A lot of things are going through my mind including this blog. I feel like writing today so I took the opportunity to update this neglected blog of mine.
What have I been up to?
May 2009 – nothing really major happened. I was just not in the mood to write. I’m a moody blogger hehehe
June 2009 – same as above.
July 2009 – This was my busiest MONTH of the year. In fact, this was the busiest month I’ve ever had in my entire adult life!
- My ma, sister and youngest brother came all the way from Wales to attend my cousins wedding and to have a vacation in the Philippines. Airfare from UK to Manila isn’t really cheap so they had to squeezed in all their activities in one month. I on the other hand only had 3 weeks. Our first 2 days was spent in our home in Pangasinan. We all miss that place so even though we were all tired from our flights we forced ourselves to travel (by bus) 5 hours just to be there and be with my brother (middle child). We bonded for 2 days. Ate pakbet, bangus, pansit and many more. Even though I eat these here in Singapore, there’s this weird happy feeling of eating them in the place where we all grew up. It still is the PLACE to be when I’m with my family. In fact, up to know nothing could top the Christmases and New Years we’ve had in that place. We went back to Manila two days after to prepare for the wedding. We shopped for our shoes, had my hair permed, my sister had her hair rebonded. Ma had a her hair trimmed and all 3 of us had pedicure. It’s our one thing in common when it comes to being vain hehehe. My youngest brother on the other hand had facial (yes, as in facial sa Let’s face it). I kid you not, he’s the vainest of us all but that’s another story.
Bro and sis with Ella - Two days before the wedding we went to Libis for a night out and the day after we had lunch at my Uncle’s place in Cainta. Our place is in Paranaque so our travel to these places had been really a challenged. We don’t have our own car so just imagine the things we have to do and endure just to reach those places. Truly a nightmare!
In Libis with the whole gang! Sis, ma and my tita’s - My (dearest) cousin’s wedding. My sister and I were one of the bridesmaid and my brother was one of the groomsmen that’s why we had to prepare a just LITTLE. The wedding was successful. We were a little emotional while the bride was walking down the aisle but that’s expected right?-at least for us girls. The reception was a lot of fun. There were games, a little dancing and or course eating! I was just disappointed with myself as I wasn’t able to fully enjoy the food due to my “just right” dress. There was no extra space for a big tummy in that dress so after a few bites I was so full already (what a loser) that I didn’t have the chance to go back for another plate.
The newly weds Fun fun fun! - Boracay trip. This was the highlight of our vacation. I’ve been to Boracay a long long time ago. I only had a few pictures and didn’t get a chance to try the “Things to do in Boracay” activities. So it was still like a new place for me. Just check out our pictures!

Sunset shots - Butuan trip. A day after Boracay my ma and I went to Butuan City. It’s my ma’s hometown. We went there with my cousin and other relatives to visit their Farmhouse and my grandparent’s grave. We stayed there for 2 days then back again to Manila. (I told you it was the BUSIEST month).
It was raining so we had to wear botas With cousins - Ma, sis’ trip to Singapore. A day ( yes, the day after arriving from Butuan) after our trip from Mindanao was our flight to Singapore. Two weeks of my vacation was spent in the Philippines and the third week was spent here to give my ma and sister a little tour of my work place. We brought them to Sentosa, Suntec, Orchard, a few malls and the Merlion park in Esplanade.
Whew! That was a long entry.
Until next time!
