I may not admit it but I think the reason I kept gaining weight even with so little food intake is my slow metabolism, slower than it used to be, that is. A friend suggested conjugated linoleic acid that she said helps in increasing metabolic rate. Although she’s not sure how true it is that it decreases abdominal fat.

That, or should I blame Gilbey’s Premium Strength? It just tastes so good, and perfect for Saturday evenings with the husband and/or friends.

Call me late bloomer, but I think I’m starting to like putting on make-up!

You see, one of the many reasons that I’m no fan of makeup is that I can’t seem to find the right color of lipstick, blush or even foundation for my skin. So I just stick with lip and cheek tints, and have to go to parlors for formal events.

But after discovering that pink chocolate (from Clinique) suits my skin color, I’m a bit more enthusiastic about my face looking fully made up. Of course, I know it all starts with a clear skin which is why I’m always on the look out for best acne treatments.

I’m currently looking for the right foundation for my skin color. I’ll be attending a wedding this Saturday. I’m not sure if I want to go to the parlor, or experiment on my face. Nope, I’m not that daring.

Two weeks from now, we are going on another family trip. A friend who kindly offer to tour us around on our first day, told us, we can choose to go to an IT show, where gadgets and other exciting stuff like Ferrari parts are discounted. She warned me, however of the 7% tax. I declined telling that all I want to do for our day 1 is walk around the city leisurely and take some photos.

I’m pretty sure she’d find this weird. But after our vacation in Macau, I realized this is what I want in a vacation, leisurely doing things, without any hurries. Not to mention, we have a toddler in tow.

I knew it! It was quite expected. I grew tired of eating KFC chicken salad with Asian sauce. Who wouldn’t when I eat the same thing for a couple of weeks now?

I’m thinking, well, I can do my own version of chicken salad. I’ll buy tomatoes, probably the best skin care food, to add to my lettuce. I’d like some orange slices and grapes, as well. For the chicken, I’d either put nuggets or crab sticks. I’ll skip the sauce.

Hmm, not bad. I’ll try it next weekend.

Early afternoon I received an email informing all employees that for the month of March, our company is the employer of the month, and that we can avail of the 10% discount from Yo-Swirls. This is the nearest yogurt store in our office. My favorite is their original flavor (I love its subtle sour taste) with cranberries. I haven’t tried to add almonds yet in Yo-Swirls. You see, almond is my favorite topping over at Red Mango.

Anyway, it’s been a while since I last ate yogurt. With my current weight, I should be considering taking ephedra diet pills instead. But the ongoing promo is very tempting.

Oh, but that last time I checked, I have shed another 2 pounds.
