Boracay 2012: Preview Post

I am back everyone.

Many people told me that Boracay is overrated. For me it’s still a paradise, it’s my first time here, thanks to my in laws because they accommodated me.

The fact that the place is already a developed island – restaurants, hotels, and other amenities. The place is crowded.

But beneath the busy crowd, the noise, the activities, some part of the place is still serene. You can still find peace while strolling the beach and watching children run and play with the sand.

I had a good time cause I am with my boyfriend. It’s our second out of town together. I really enjoyed swimming this time cause they were no jellyfish and seaweeds. The waves were awesome too.

And of course I never leave beach without a sunset photo. I love taking photos of sunset and sunrise, anything about nature. They have this charisma on camera like babies without movement.

I will separate my blog on food and activities in the next coming days so stay tune and show me some love.

Kisses,

Sammy

Yellow Wednesday, driving in EDSA will never be easy….

Today I am wearing a very cute dress with a very cute print.

I got this from Get Laud. My best friend forced me to buy this. LOL I am just kidding. I am not in uniform because I have 6 am driving class (main road driving), which I will discuss in a while and a birthday gathering to attend.

Let’s  go back to the Driving 101.

It’s my 14th hour today and my lesson is about main road driving. We started reviewing the parking - vertical, horizontal, diagonal, and parallel. We also did hanging , stop and go procedure before we tried EDSA. Today’s experience is frightening no matter how defensive driver you are, other vehicles’ movement are not in your hands and I learned that I have to be – alive, alert, awake, and enthusiastic   sounds like a nursery rhyme huh? LOL

I am also having issues using different types of car. I was using a wagon last Sunday and back to sedan today. Each car have different pedals and I can’t foresee how should I step on the clutch, brakes, and gas. They say I will learn someday, I just have to incorporate it in my system like breathing.

Since I am just starting I hope one day I could get use to it. Practice makes perfect right.

But I am sure everyday will be a practice because each day road situation varies. I will not be dealing with same cars and same situation.

I am not losing hope on this. I still have seven more hours to master driving.

****

I had a good night sleep by the way, maybe I was just paranoid about my grandma’s death and I thought she’s everywhere.

Also I have something in mind now that I want to pursue  but I need a booster, I know I can do that. I hope I can stop procrastinating and do it right away. 

Oh I am running out of words to say so I am just going to back blog on my food trips. Visit my other blog here and show me some love.

I hope everyone is having a good time.

 

Kisses,

Sammy

My Manic Monday: Are ghosts true?

It’s still a good day though despite.

I was asked to write for an inspirational speech which I do not have any idea about, but hey I was still able to do it. I just didn’t like the idea how the task was given to me.

Oh well….

I am writing because I am having hard time sleeping. Do you believe in ghosts? Nine days? Forty days? and other beliefs on death on you relative.

We celebrated the ninth day of my grand mother yesterday and just when we finished praying the rosary and novena the light went off. Just before this event happened, I heard her cleared her throat around 4:30 am and I can’t barely sleep.

This my third encounter on these things.

What do you know about third eyes?

I am hoping to get a good night sleep tonight. As fright is not worth my eye bags.

Another news….

After seeing my doctor couple of weeks ago and took the medicine she prescribe…. it’d work… not permanently I still have to come back for series of tests and I a hoping science can do something about my situation and this is not that serious.

I need to be okay about this matter as I want to create a blog in the future about Motherhood.

Did I intrigued you in some way?

hmmmm

Also,

 

My Firmoo Glasses arrived, just in time for my Boracay trip this Saturday. I hope it will not rain that much so I can use this. I will write my review as soon as get back (so that I have good photos too) I am wondering how the customer support knew that I love the color purple. VERY SMART!

As for dishysammy,

hooray for my logo. I am still studying how to root the site. Can someone help me? hahaha

I decided to start all over again cause back blogging seems very hard. I would like to thank Windows Live Writer for easier life they gave me in managing my blog.

So much for my Monday.

Sammy

P.S. I hade my lashes extended for the second time. This time only 8mm the 10mm I had two years ago was way too over the top.

My Sexy Solution Starts Now

I received this contest notification weeks ago and I know today is the last day to join. I was contemplating what to write when at this moment I am not in any diet program. Why would I join?

Well, let me tell you my story.

Three years ago I used to weight 50 kgs. I am into dancing and I am very stingy to buy food. I even have all summer to eat just oatmeal. I was still a student. A year before graduation I was invited to theater and I let the dancing go. I received comments that I am gaining weight.

Things got worse when I started working. I just sit the whole day and stare at my computer. I read an article that sitting more eight hours a day can lead to death. I go out from time to time to attend meetings and eat.

Who would resist good food for free? No one.

I started gaining weight.

I enrolled to the gym and involved myself into a low carb diet. I said to myself that I won’t eat what I won’t consume.

Three months and I am looking good. Circuit training every night sounds very inviting. I tried fitness drinks too.

Here comes my nightmare.

My asthma came back. All the while I thought it was gone.

I believe it was my fault because I had no sleep for 24 hours and insisted to go to the gym, to sweat more. I even took a cold bath afterwards.

I was rushed to the hospital two days after.

The sad part was they can’t control my broncho spasms and they had to inject steroids.

Look at me in the hospital.

I am pretty sad that I encountered more asthma moments through out the year and the doctors prescription always includes steroids. I look heavier now which made me very sad. Friends and relatives keep on criticizing me and all I have to do is to explain what happened to me.

Why am I so mad with steroids?

It doesn’t cause weight gain, as stated from most articles I read in the internet. BUT it can increase appetite.

I am not sure or maybe in denial that I am eating too much now but I am always hungry. My vision is blurred every minute that I am hungry, I am having cold sweats, and I cannot think properly.

Now my face got bigger and I am now happy about it. I am currently 142 lbs. it is around 64.4 kgs. and I am only 155 cm. my BMI is around 28 already and it’s not healthy.

I was even evaluated to be Pre-hypertensive during my annual physical exam.

I do not want to be constantly ill.

That is why when I read this contest via Nuffnang, I said I will give it a try.

I tried dynamic yoga at home, the 14-day cereal diet, L-Carnitine and green tea capsules but none of them work. I even enrolled to the gym again but it just gave me shortness of breath.

What I want now is to at least scrape all the excess fats, waters, skin in my body. I believe Sexy Solutions will help me in this journey, their in house consultants can advice proper exercise that is suitable for asthma patients like me and they can suggest food that will energize me the whole day. 

One needs to be motivated in order to be back in shape others need money for instant noticeable results but for a typical working girl like me; I guess I might stick to motivation and determination in able for me to get through this.

I am hoping that Sexy Solutions will help me.

Pray for me bellas,

Sammy

 

Instagram on Blogger

The idea just hit me cause I don’t update this blog very often by I do tweet a lot and post photo on Instragram a lot. I am wondering if I could embed my Instagram so readers will know that I am active everyday.

I searched Google and found this blog saitloud she/he suggested this widget badgeplz.

All you have to do is to generate the code, add gadget, and paste the code. 

I will be installing this also on my wordpress.

Life Update: I have a new PC

Hey everyone,

I just moved to a new desktop. The office management, base on my request, I needed a faster PC. Since I am doing layouts on In design CS5 and do some edits in Photoshop, I really need an upgrade. I am now using ACER Aspire i3, 1TB HDD, 4GB RAM, 1GB Vicar; I am satisfied with the performance , so far.

I am also using Windows 7 Home Basic now, I’ve been using XP like forever and since this Windows Live Writer helps me manage all my blogs, I am still familiarizing myself with its new interface. It comes with new emoticons!!!

But unfortunately…..

I accidentally erased all my photos… I forgot that the folder on my previous PC was in private. I thought all my files were copied that is why I emptied the documents and I can surrender it to the next user…. I tried to restore them yesterday but not all photos id ion good condition….  

Lesson learned: Have the photos saved in a disc, external drive, or have it printed. I can’t believe I have 7,000 + photos…

So much for day job related errands and my other site is still not rooted. Can someone help me do it? Please.

I will be writing post on my latest food dates and I hope you’ll like it.

Kisses,

Sammy
