The clock is ticking and in less than 3 months time, I’m supposed to lose more than 20lbs. I guess that’s a fairly feasible project. I still have a couple of items I need to cross out on my list until I can finally start working out again. Here they are: Find a decent gym [...]

Haven’t watched the said movie, but I intend to. It’s all about girl power and feeling good about yourself anyways, which I badly need at the moment. I wasn’t really a fan of Sex in the City series, but I got to watch a handful of episodes in the past. I haven’t even got the [...]

Sometimes I just feel like packing my bags and running away to somewhere really far, to start anew. Somehow, part of the reason I now found myself in my father’s house is because of the need to do just that – to runaway. All by my lonesome, I braved the streets of Metro Manila with [...]

Izzie is my husband’s colleague at his previous and current employment. She used to be overweight. Two months ago, I learned that she is undergoing detoxification. The process was something that was imposed on her by her dad. I actually wanted to go through the same thing but it is quite expensive so I guess [...]
