That is certainly an elusive and not-so-easy to answer question. Why are you trying to lose weight? I prefer if people answered that they are trying to lead a more active and healthy life. For me healthy life means eating responsibly and working out regularly. That way, losing weight is considered a bonus which is guaranteed to come. Just how much you are going to lose depends on many factors.

I have tried losing weight before, and I succeeded in losing around 22 lbs. I am not much overweight so losing 22 lbs put me in my healthy BMI range already. I have to admit that much of that little extra weight comes because I stopped exercising regularly and started eating irresponsibly when I started working behind a desk.

Traffic Jam Free on a Monday morning? You’ve got to be kidding me! Well, since I take a day off, I did not go to the office today, so practically I didn’t experience any traffic jam this morning. I wish it can always be like this everyday but of course you can’t always get what you want. Most of the time you have to make do with what you can actually get.

I still enjoyed my traffic jam-free morning though. I don’t have to cope with the stress that comes with wading through the crazy motorcyclists and selfish drivers laden streets this morning. I think it is a worthy enough cause for a celebration. YAY!! Oh well, a good pat in the back is all I got, doesn’t really matter. Read the rest of this entry »

Today is going to be a not so lazy Monday, not because I am taking a day off from work but because I am going to have to take my mother-in-law to the airport for her travel. At least I don’t have to deal with work for today, which is quite a welcome change considering how busy Monday at work can be.

I knew that I am going to miss it even though only for a little. I even going to miss the meetings that we held periodically and occasionally. Well actually I might not actually miss it if not for the wonderful coffee and snacks served. That said, I wish meetings aren’t only remembered for how good the catering are but also because it was productive AND constructive at the same time. Read the rest of this entry »

I know that people are never easy to satisfy, but if you are faced with a situation where you can buy things while saving your money by up to 50%, you can be sure that you’ll find out for yourself how true it is. Of course you could tell yourself that it is not every day that you find those kinds of deals.

Then you ask yourself, is those kinds of deals for real? Are there really any retailers that actually let you buy their products while offering a hefty discount? Well, you can’t actually found those kinds of deals on a regular day. You can only found those kinds of deals on some specific time or events during a year. Read the rest of this entry »

Holiday is around the corner, at least to people who lives in the US because next Thursday is Thanksgiving Day. I didn’t exactly celebrate Thanksgiving Day, nor have I ever experienced one since I don’t live in the States. Although from what I have read or heard, either from the media, the internet or even friends that live in the States, it was a very big holiday there.

I don’t think I can argue with that, judging from what I’ve heard. For me the best holiday celebration is still Christmas, looking from a certain perspective of course. That said, Christmas might be coming soon, but Thanksgiving is just around the corner coming just in a few days. Read the rest of this entry »
