216/365 - I Gave In

04 August 2010

Day 216 was sister's day off and she decided to stay at home. It's rare for the family to be complete, so mom said we will all eat out. I was worried about my food intake, but sadly, I was still a weakling. I gave in to temptation, and not only did I eat quite a lot for dinner, I also had a Cappuchoco crepe at Crepes and Cream. It was delicious, but there was a hint of guilt.

My sister said I should forget my diet for today because the family dinner should be something good. Well, setting aside my guilt, I did have a great time with my family - sharing stories, sharing views about the foods we ate, sharing hearty laughs, sharing time together. I think nothing could top that feeling - the great feeling that I am with my family, and that we are united.

209/365 - Stretching

28 July 2010

I am now on my way to the new me, and aside from changing my diet and doing the morning walk/jog... I decided to do some exercises in the house as well. Currently, I am using some exercise poses I saw at an old Redbook magazine, followed by a 30-minute cardio dance routine. This was a picture of me doing the cooling down stretches, a good way of gradually slowing down the heart rate.

I only pray to be able to keep up with this program. I just have to - take a look, I really am very, very big already.

195/365 - Angus Maximus Overload

14 July 2010

We slept with no electricity the night before, and we woke up still with no electricity. It was sister's day off so we just chit-chatted in bed, and our conversation led to me asking her if we could go out and just eat out. She will be meeting up with friends, so she said we can just eat early lunch and she will just meet up with her friends after we eat.

We were supposed to eat at Jollibee, but while in the jeep, she asked me if I wanted to eat at Greenwich (a pizza pasta food place) instead. I told her we just ate at Jollibee last Saturday, so okay, we can eat at Greenwich since I still haven't blogged about the place yet.

I have been craving for pizza for a week now, so when she asked me what I wanted, I told her I wanted to eat their overload pizza as it has more toppings than the regular pizza. New on the overload menu are the Angus Maximus and 5 Star Bacon... and since I will be eating carbonara pasta, too, I decided to just go for the Angus Maximus.

For an overload pizza, I wasn't really satisfied. Flavor wise, it was good, although it didn't have that pizza feeling that I was craving. I guess I was really used to eating Supreme pizza that I didn't really enjoy this one. However, it's not everyday that my cravings were satisfied, and it's not everyday that my sister treats out... so for this, I am thankful.

188/365 - Money Money

Been a while since I last posted for Shoot Me. I still take self portraits once a week, but because I had problems with PC, it was just now that I was able to catch up with the project 365 pictures.

I am a person who can really handle her finances wisely. Last week, I had a hefty amount to buy a netbook, and although there were a lot of choices, I still went for something that was below my allotted budget, so I would still have some money left.

I took this picture because a blog meme I joined asked bloggers to talk about how they love themselves in the financial aspect (you can read that HERE). I wanted to actually use these oh so big fake US dollar bills that my late dad used to received in one of the seminars he attended (it was a set of play money, 10 inches each), but I cannot find it anymore, so I just used the real Philippine money. This money will no longer in my hands in the days to come, so might as well take a picture of it already. Hahaha.

153/365 - Mirror Mirror

02 June 2010

From the time my sister had her cell phone with camera to me having my own camera, I already lost track of how many times I have taken pictures of my reflection in the mirror... and I also don't know how many of those pictures actually looked good. There are times I'd forget that I should look at the lens and not on the camera's LCD or the mirror itself.

This picture was taken late last night. After I took my shower and started with my "vanity regimen" - something I just started a few weeks ago - I realized I still haven't taken pictures of myself yet. Amid the clutter in the couch (I was sitting on a mattress as I was also watching TV), I turned on my cell phone's camera and took pictures. Some of the pictures looked awful because I would tend to move my hand as I press the shutter, and some just looked awkward because I cannot fit myself in the mirror (major lolz). I was lucky I was able to capture this, though. :)
