the challenge

Challenge for the year: Lose 10 lbs by September, 2010.

Partner: Jon

Road Map to goal: treadmill 3x a week...45 to one hour a day.

The distraction: FOOD!

Will I make it?

Finally... We've Decided

This is it... please block off the day.

September 19, 2010. The Loft at Manansala.

needs vs wants

I need to save but i want to go shopping. I do need to set my priorities straight, but then again, i want to reward myself for all the hard work last year. hahaha

I know i do not need more shores, but i want to buy a couple of ballet flats and one pair of high heels. Best that i buy na lang something i can use for the big day... kaya lang di ko pa alam ang style ng gusto kong dress. bwahhaha... Shoe kaya muna bago dress?

I need to stay within the budget that jon and I have but i want to have nice pictures for the big day... mahal nga lang ang photos and videos. hayz.

I need to diet but i want to eat pizza and pasta and drink coke. bwahahaha. promise, cut down na talaga on fatty foods. I do need to lose weight kc ang bigat na ng katawan ko.

Stressing out

It's 9 months to the wedding (we want an October date) and we still haven't book nor decided on a wedding venue and a date. Is it time to be stressed out?

New Year, New Shoes?

This template is so me. :-) I love a great pair of shoes. hehehe

And now Martial Law

Proclamation 1959 declares martial law in Maguinadao. Let's just hope that this will not trigger a repeat of 1972. :(

Only in the Philippines

Only in the Philippines... where a massacre happens and the Government calls it an incident (between two warring clans). Hay naku, Malacanang is treating this with kids gloves. They did not even show signs of indignation. Tsk tsk.

Only in the Philippines... where a former president files COC for President and an incumbent President runs for Congress. Haven't they heard of delicadesa?

Only in the Philippines... where hard working individuals are taxed beyond belief and Politicians living beyond their salary range.

Only in the Philippines...where people smile inspite of hardships. Where christmas comes early. Where drinking starts way too early too. :-)

You are tagged!

Laser Tagged that is.

Had fun tagging my officemates, my bosses and syempre si Usman. hahaha. First round, I was 6th out of 14. Determined to be on the top 4, i said yes to game number two and ended up being 2nd out of 12. Not bad.

2 games = 40 minutes of fun

Let's start planning

I know its more than a year away, but let's start planning anyway. Time to put excel to good use. hahaha.

Here is the list of excel files I came up with:

• Matrix of vendors, suppliers, venue and cost
• Budget list ... must stick to the budget
• Guest list

So far only the suppliers/vendors are being put to use. I still haven't tackled the budget nor the guest list...still having fun with formating the spreadsheets. bwahahaha

I should...

I should...

...start blogging again. writing is one way to work those grey matters.

...start exercising (as if!)

...start planning for next year

Satisfied Customer

I have always believed that when one is not satisfied with the service, he should always voice out his opinion. After all, how can a company or a restaurant improve? (actually, complainer lang ako. bwahahaha. I always have to get my money's worth)

A few days ago, i called Uniliver's customer service to complain about a defective product. They assured me that they will be replacing the product and will have the replacement delivered to my home at my convinient time.

Today, the company delivered the replacement product. Two thumbs up for them. See, it does not hurt to file or voice out a complaint. :)

it's summer

It is now officially summer! Why?

Mainit na.

Nagkaka migraine na ako. :(
