laptops galore

thinking about getting a new laptop just because. this one's been serving me well for almost three years now and i still love it. i'm glad i had the computer memory upgraded to 1GB way back then because now it looks like this is one of the minimum requirements for software updates. the laptop that my brother gave to mom as a gift is actually at 2GB while my sister's is at 1.5GB. see, i'm behind. but then again i'm very thankful for having a computer to enjoy and i might just stay with this a little more.

my car

my friend has a new ride and i love the way it looks because it's so old school! i wish i have my own too but i don't know if i'm willing to drive instead of sleeping inside the bus as a travel my way from work to home. doesn't matter what i prefer, i guess learning how to drive is really something i have to learn. last weekend i saw lots of cars on sale as the bus drove through the highway. also last weekend, i received something that i've been wishing for. maybe i should wish. or affirm:

I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL CAR OF MY OWN.

and i'll take care of it in the best way that i can. i'll avail of this cheap auto insurance as well. anything a car driver has to learn or has to have, i'll get it :)

cigars

dad's birthday is coming up and in case you don't know, he's a little bit hard to please. i mean, he doesn't like too cheap and too expensive things. when he likes something, he normally doesn't say anything. but he's angry, oh boy, even the walls of the house turn speechless.

anyway, i'm thinking of a gift for him and i'm caught between a new gadgets and cigars online. he's been smoking since 14 and mom is allowing him to do so since immediately stopping the vice may case harm.

i will travel

i'm looking forward to visiting a lot of places this year. i love travel not just because of breath-taking sceneries but the unexpected things that one would encounter along the way. traveling with friends gave me the opportunity to know them more and grow closer to them. at work, they're planning getaway trips to balance our lives and who knows, orlando vacations may be included in the list! this year, i'd like to visit my brothers in singapore, shop in bangkok, and of course, play music with my band in japan and australia. yeeeeey!!!

engaging into sports

this morning, an officemate suggested that we engage into sports because our lives for the past few months are just about working, eating, partying and all those stuff. he also noticed how our colleagues get sick so easily and obviously, gain weight, because of unhealthy habits. to be involved with sports is something i would really love to do! i've tried my very best before, to be an excellent volleyball player but the court kept pushing me away. problem is, i'm not a quitter. i still love to play!

look at this nordictrack audiostrider 990 pro. wish we have this in the office or here at home so i could jump in anytime i'm bored. it's a better alternative to food tripping.

junk and sweets

these days of stress are causing me to pamper myself through eating whatever i feel like eating. just today before i went home from work, i found myself in the grocery store cashier with all the "junk" and sweets. is it just a phase or it's a habit under development? hope not. just in case, here are some quick weight loss diets i can make us of. goodluck to me!

me? exercise? umm...

there are times when i don't want to accept it but i'm lazy when it comes to exercise. well i guess not only with exercise. it's not that i can't but i've also lost interest in cooking. maybe it's because of the ingredients that are hard to find in our messy little kitchen or it's just that i'd rather play the piano instead of stirring something on fire. i don't know exactly but i know this is just a phase or some sort of transition.

i also have this conclusion that this transition helped me shed off some pounds. pressure is a pill with long-term effects if not taken in moderation. what am i saying? hahaha. if ever i would have a weight/fitness goal, it would be to have a body like that of shakira. maybe fat burner supplements would help. but i haven't really tried dancing like her, you know. maybe that's the secret.

sleeping and diabetes

there was a point when one of my sisters had to take sleeping pills in order for her to sleep, obviously, and keep her sugar at a normal level. a diabetic person always gets irritated, very sensitive to room temperature and noise. i'm sure everybody wants to feel comfortable but they would only feel so under very cold and peaceful atmosphere. if she could, i'm sure she would live inside the refrigerator. anyway, having to deal with diabetes is no joke because the complications are at a variety. it's something that runs in the blood for us and so far, i'm thankful that even if i'm in love with cakes and chocolates, my sugar level is still at a normal state.

10 pounds less

been browing http://www.weightlosswand.com for healthy tips and reviews of different supplements for losing weight. i've already lost pounds in weeks of cutting salty and sugary food in my diet and i feel like i need to lose 10 pounds more in order to wear my stale and musty clothes in my cabinet again hehehe. but having mentioned about diet here made my stomach react immediately and it's screaming "FOOD!" it's already 2AM and i guess you know what happens next.

wrinkle, wrinkle

how can the japanese women manage to look younger than their age? is it really just because of drinking tea or eating healthy, or they have a secret they've been passing on from generation to generation? makes me curious. but hey, i don't believe in age anymore. only carabaos grow old! i think that we only look dry and wrinkly when we become under pressure and couldn't handle it well. when we change our minds towards optimism and become one of those who choose to be happy people, there's this glow in our smiles that usually raises other people's eyebrows. anyway, you may want to read some dermitage reviews if you're interested in what makes those fine lines go away.
