These are photos of Diet Diva meals, so they don’t include all the food I actually ate the past five days. When I got hungry in between meals, I snacked on bananas, raw carrots, and hard-boiled eggs. I didn’t eat the oatmeal cookies included in Day 3, as crackers/biscuits aren’t filling for me and I tried my best to avoid refined sugar this week because it will cause a spike in, umm, blood sugar (???), triggering my sweet tooth and cravings for more food. Dude, IDK I forgot the ~science~ behind it; it’s just something I picked up when I tried Slow-Carb. I am eating them now, though, because Saturday and because chocolate chips. Anyway, I also take my coffee with milk so I’m estimating that I was hitting 1400-1500 calories a day.

What to do when your cat won’t stop being cute? Slap some makeup on that mug, grab the fur ball, and and take an awkward family cat photo.

Little Miss “I am not a prop” Freakie was not pleased.

I started using Multiply in 2004. It quickly became one of my favorite social networks because it was a place for people to upload photo albums and easily share with their friends (a feature that Friendster had yet to offer). As early as 2005, online sellers started popping up on the website. I remember my first purchase— a bikini from Pink Belter (I still have it). I was hooked! Back then, Multiply wasn’t an e-commerce site yet so we had to meet-up with sellers to pay for and pick-up our purchases.

From what I know about Kpop, Big Bang is one of the most popular groups. I watched some of their videos and they certainly look fresh and not too cutesy.

Which Galaxy S3 color fits each member?

I am the worst eater I know.

Despite many attempts at correcting my eating habits, I find myself yoyo-ing between barely eating and pigging out. I’m either at a caloric deficit (forcing my body to go into starvation mode) or I’m gorging. Portion control is also an alien concept to me (despite having a kitchen scale that I bought years ago solely for this purpose lol) and I can easily consume 700 calories in one sitting. I can work out all I want (something I haven’t been able to do lately because my right ankle still hurts) but that will not fix a bad diet.

This doesn’t smell like liempo…

It started with an intense hatred for my roots.

I had grand plans of swearing off bleach the entire October. It’s not really that hard, since I do go at least a month in between bleaches but having learned about bleach baths and the wonders of virgin coconut oil as a ~damage minimizer~ a couple of months ago, I’ve been finding excuses to BB every two weeks.

Didn’t get to take a lot of pictures or do much this time around because I only had a couple of days (didn’t want to be away from LMF for too long!). I left Manila with two things on the agenda: go to Henderson Waves to camwhore with OFW Penny and buy shit on sale at Cotton On in Anchorpoint. Of the two, I only got to do the latter pft.

Anyway.

Friends and I had dinner at Song Fa Bak Kut Teh across MRT Clarke Quay/Central. It was my first time to try bak kut teh and OFW Jay described it as their version of our nilaga, but without the vegetables. I decided to go with the pig stomach version, instead of ~the classic pork ribs~. I may not have a drop of Chinese blood in me but I love innards!

My meal (pig stomach, rice, and homemade barley drink) cost me S$7.40 or ~PHP250. Kind of spendy for what could be carinderia food. It was just okay. Even the dough fritters were just okay. Would eat again, but for less!

“Helga? You are the last person I expect to see here!” – Jonver, when he saw me lining up… to line up.

I love Zac Efron. I try not to emotionally and financially invest myself in (male) celebrities because I don’t think I can handle another Hanson in my life, but I have two exceptions: Liam Hemsworth, because he’s engaged to Miley Cyrus; and Zac Efron, because HAVE YOU SEEN THE GUY? Is he not the cream to your coffee???

LOL what I wore: Cotton On dress (new favorite; will wear urrday & urrwhere), Cotton On cardigan, SM Accessories necklace

(To be fair, my flats were from Penshoppe.)
