I've been binging the past few days. I have just realized that I eat too much when I do a lot of things. I am going to be a bridesmaid at a wedding at the end of February. THIS! IS! NOT! GOOD! I have to lose at least 10 pounds before the wedding, and 5 more after it. Hmmm.... Suggestions?

McDonald’s Double Cheeseburger
Last night, I got intrigued and tried out for the first time, Mc Donald's Double Cheeseburger. I was overwhelmed. There were double patties, cheese slices, and servings of onions (ew!). I had a hard time taking out the onions. The patties were kinda dry and just tasted salty. The entire thing was too much for me, but I know a lot of people who enjoy it. I loved the cheese though. Heh! Maybe I'm just not the Double Cheeseburger kind of girl. To order McDonald's food online (in the Philippines), go to their 8McDo Site. This is NOT a paid post.
A Happy, Happy New Year at Eden Nature Park
For the second time, our family spent New Year's Eve and New Year's Day at Eden Nature Park and we had a grand time. Last year, me and my cousins were kinda resistant to the idea thinking it would be a hassle to spend it in a resort with tons of other people. You see we usually spend it at Lola's house with just the family. But we were proven wrong as we had a lot of fun during the countdown. In fact some of my titos and titas danced wantonly on the dance floor while us nephews and nieces spent time in the sidelines. HAHA! Anyway, we spent it at Eden again this year. And it was fun. I rode with Kuya Andrew's family and we arrived there at around 3 pm and immediately had snacks. I had the Ham and Cheese Sandwich. It was ok. I heard that the Turon and the Cheeseburger were really good though. I was assigned to room Gardenia 5. Since I was not feeling well, I spent the afternoon sleeping. Wawa me... While my cousins went to the fishing village to fish for tilapia. Wawa rin mga tilapia... they died and were eaten!…

It's CHRISTMAS!!!
I'm tired and sleepy. I'm not feeling well. I still have tons to do. I am working at Basti's Brew right now, and I have to attend a "family reunion" at 7 pm. But I'm happy, happy, happy! I am thinking of getting my first-ever foot spa. Hmmm... Last night was not really eventful but it was delicious. The food was great. We had different kinds of cheeses and cold cuts. YUM! Then, we had puttanesca and seafood pasta, lechon, and ham. For dessert, I ate chocolate pie and chocolate ganache from Lachi's. Then, we had our exchange gifts. Greggy, Ate Ina's husband gave me a pair of red Slim Havaianas. It's so nice, I'm wearing them right now. I also received some cash from some of my titas. And a pair of green earrings from Luan. I also got to down a handful of glasses of beer which put to sleep when I arrived home at around 3 am. This morning, I went straight to Daddy and Mommy's house where I received a nice black handbag from Mommy, and a personalized keychain from Mae-mae. The handbag is exactly the size I want. YEY!!! I love it. Then me and…
Christmas is Almost Here
It's December 21, 2007, three days before Christmas Eve, four days before Christmas day. But I can't feel the Christmas spirit. I am doing a lot of things, thinking about a lot of problems, and rushing to beat numerous deadlines. As I grow older, Christmas and other holidays become more boring, and more stressful. When I was younger, Christmas used to fill me with excitement and joy. And no matter how sparse the celebration was, no matter how few the gifts I received, I was happy. Now, Christmas is becoming more and more stressful. I still haven't bought any gifts to give, or any clothes to wear to those parties. I still don't know which parties I am going to, when, where, with whom. I don't even know what I'll be doing on Christmas day. Still, there's a part of me that is excited. The other night's fun, fun night with some of my high school friends only made me more excited to spend more time with more of them. That can only mean more fun, alcohol, gossip, and photo ops. Then, there's the gifts. Ok so, I won't probably get any big gifts this year. And I won't get…
