Last nights conversation was mainly about workout! I've been trying to get back into the gym again and last weeks' attempt caused me my legs to hurt so bad! This week, so far it has been okay and not bothering  at all even after an hr in the elliptical! If people approach during workout asking what I'm doing, I tell them I try to get rid of my fats! Yeah - I might sound crazy if you see me in person being small and thin but if you were me, you know what I mean! I need to be toned! PERIOD! So, leave me alone if I want to exercise

My appetite has been really bad too! I get hungry every hour and the worst thing, I indulge myself to unhealthy food! I used to cook healthy meals everyday and now I just drive to Mcdonalds, order chinese food and grab frozen meals...really bad! I know! I need what they call appetite suppressants so, I can stop all these cravings.LoL! I shall get back to the gym today and hopefully tom. and the next day and the day after that and so on...hehehe!

It has been an on and off battle between me and my acne! In high school, it was my biggest problem overall! When I went to college it got worst during my 1st year but I don't know, somehow when I turned 20, it went away! It might be something unnoticeable for others but for those who has it like I do, it can be very depressing, it looses your self-esteem and I feel like I don't wanna be seen by anyone at all. That's how bad it can affect my mood.When I came here, it went back again, with revenge! AND I tried so many products, spent a lot of money! It still comes and go...but never have I won the battle,LoL! Now, I'm dealing with scars and dark spots! I can't wait for my cousin to send me the stuff she said it worked for her. Unfortunately, it's only in Canada so, still waiting for that cuz!hehehe!

Now that I am settled at our new place and people finds out it's a chunk of land, they always ask me what are we farming? what animals we have? Quite frankly, we have nothing! Oh well, except for the rich farmer here who rents most of our land! I don't know what exactly my husband wants to get started here but right now, he got his hands full, I tell yah! He mentioned he wants to get into farming and perhaps have a cattle...it's not an easy job and requires a lot of money as you are just starting out. I could just imagine the farm equipments and machines,  cattle supplies and all that...it can be very expensive and there's no guarantee it'll be a success unless you know what you are doing,LoL! Sadly, I just don't think I'll ever be interested into that.

Can't believe it's been 6mos or more since I last blogged! I don't think it has to do with work and moving...I think it's just my motivation and interest! It used to be so easy for me to just blog and within those months that I didn't, I honestly made several attempts to do so...but just didn't feel like posting it! Somehow the energy level of my blogging has dropped down. I felt like I needed to blog again, can't explain why but I just have to! I started yesterday before I went to work and since my work today is not til tonight, I feel like doing it again...weird but good! I miss the good 'ol days when my blogfriends stop by here and leave their comments and I go visit them as well...the interaction felt good even if it's just online! I guess getting that at facebook now makes me less attracted to blogging but I think I will always get back to blogging every now and then, maybe!

I went back to my old hobbies lately {digiscrapping and blogging} and makes me think about online backup for all my files! I may not be doing something really critical but for my blogging and scrapping, those files are very important to keep! We seem to ignore backing up our files and when we loose all these important files, it's too late! Tell me you do hate it when everything in your hard drive crashes and everything is lost?! It could happen at any time and so to prevent this, gotta make sure you have the right service for automatic back up in your computer, have a look at nextadvisor.com if you don't want to loose any of your files in your computer!

Just yesterday, my youngest, out of nowhere mentioned her grandpa. It's been a long time since she has seen him! There was a time in her life when she was hanging out with him all day while mommy's at work! Yes, they bonded really well...eating candies, nuts and frosted cornflakes all day,LoL! I remember his first month here, she wouldn't even want him to buckle her up and was always scared of him.Just in time when my father has to leave for Hawaii, that's when Katie was quite comfortable around him and would rather sit in his lap than mine. Yup! They were that close! Here some few last shots I have with him together with us...

...a toned body! I may look slim or tiny but looks can be deceiving. Even how small I am, I have hidden fats, trust me I do! I just know how to put them to place discreetly! Working at the gym should get me motivated to use any of the fitness equipment, right? Honestly, I'm really bad at taking advantage of my free membership! I used to be good at it during my early shifts but now that I have a crazy schedule, I haven't been so determined to exercise. Well, I thought maybe I just needed to spend a lot of money on workout shoes and outfit so, to push me into making use of them and it seems to be working (just yesterday),LoL! I just have to keep it in mind that I can do it, and I shall do it!

Right now, I should be sitting around, enjoying food at PF Chang's and my friend's company but the whole plan was canceled and it's all because of me. Well, I asked them not to mind me and they can still go but so nice of them to move it on another time where I can be available. I love them REALLY! It has to do with my poor Katie who's sick since yesterday. I knew something's not right when I left her for my volunteer at Jessica's school - she cried {which is so unusual} when I got back, she was running a fever. Now, that really made me feel bad for leaving her. This morning she was fine so, I left off to attend our training at work coz we've been reminded several times not to miss it. Right after that long 2hr talk, I was in a rush to leave and meet my friends until I found out Katie's fever was back again. That's when I knew I had to stay this time. She needs me and I know I could never be at fault for bailing out bcoz of my sick kid, right? So sad that I was so looking forward to having a day off - been quite bz with my life here and everyday I gotta run somewhere and wanted a day for myself just to relax a bit! Well, there's always going to be next time and first things first...when it comes to my kids...they surely come first! I'm just blogging away coz she's sleeping and there's nothing good on tv right now,LoL!

I'm not really a nature kind of person and it was tough to keep up with my hubby who loves to take nature hikes, camping and all that stuff. As years go by, I started to like it and I am totally enjoying all our nature trips! If only we have an RV to travel places to places. The nice thing about it is the convenience of having like your 2nd home on the road plus you can park it at any  rv parks all over US!Oh, definitely a fun family trip which we love to do!!!

Although I've been to a Maple Syrup Festival last year, I still wanted to go with my family this year. The thing is, it was during my working days so, I totally missed out on that! Oh well, this is the price I pay for trying to get a job. The important thing is to know that my kids were having a great time, esp. when they had a cotton candy made with maple syrup...good girls they left something for me =)

A guy at work this morning caught me snacking on a cookie and he told me how lucky I am not gaining any weight BUT he has no idea I was just 90lbs when I first came here and now I added 20lbs or so...well, I know it isn't that bad especially that I don't need to desperately take any weight loss product or sweat myself to the gym still, I have to watch it now that I'm getting old and surely my metabolism will slow down. This whole work thing has been helpful not only getting me out of the house and have some outside world experience but also seeing people so motivated to come in everyday - it makes me push myself to at least use the facility twice a week but this week, I'm kinda tight with my schedule so, I don't think I can stick to my goal {hopefully just THIS week!}.

Even if I don't look fat, I am so out of shape that I could barely survive 10mins in one of those expresso fitness machine! You see below this entry? It's one of those days that I cannot resist buffet meals and I tell yah, been eating out twice a week now!!! I dunno, somehow the convenience of working at a fitness gym makes me think that I can always go there and burn all the fat - nahhh! 2,000 calories intake only 50 calories burned!eeek! That's why people would get the help they need from diet pills which can help out in burning some fat/calories in your body but of course it should always come with an exercise - yep the "one word" that is hard to fit into our hectic lives or just plain lazy,hehehe!

Yey! I now have few photos to share in my bloggie!!! One night my hubby made a comment "why did u stop taking photos?..." and somehow the more he talked the more I realized he read my blog! Why surprising? He never has any time to check this out and now he knows everything here {apparently, he has the time!LoL}. Anyways, it was enough to put my photography-hobby into an action and one day when we were searching for floor tiles, it was just the perfect opportunity but I got all excited w/ all the selection at the store so, I totally forgot all abt my camera! Good thing at lunch time, I remember I have it so in the middle of my meal, I rushed through the van and grabbed it, handed it to the waiter and he was quite cool {making jokes on us} trying to be funny we'll at least he tried!hehehe!

Ok, I know I need more effort and perhaps find some interesting shots if time permits!
