SNAKES AND LADDERS CHALLENGE

I was not able to play this board game when I was a kid.... well come to think of it, I didn't play any board games at home because my siblings found it boring (setbacks for having 6 brothers and a sis who's not interested in board games). I remember playing monopoly with neighbors because they have one.
I recently introduced Julia to snakes and ladders when she got one from a bday loot bag a couple of weeks ago and she liked it
Yesterday her dad gave her a bigger version and we've been playing for a couple of games now.  Although it's 3 decades late, I get to enjoy playing this game just as my princess. Next  on our list is Chinese checkers :)


COFFEE OVERLOAD

If one wants coffee but on a budget, you can try Breadtalk's Cafe-Latte or Capuccino. It's slightly cheaper than Starbucks but taste is almost the same. For less than a hundred, you'll definitely  get your caffeine fix with their regular cup.  Paired best with their bread and pastries as well :)

My Princess growing up so fast ...

My Princess and I went to the Mall yesterday for our usual weekend mall date. When we got to the accessories section she saw a display of hats and asked me to buy her one. When I asked why are buying a hat for P350 she proudly answers because I need a funky hat ! I tried to dissuade her, telling her we don't need an expensive hat and she started posing like a teenage model. So how can you say no to a beautiful Princess in a funky hat???

Journey to Wellness

Journey to Wellness

Journey To Wellness !

A couple of weeks ago I started feeling g numbness and tingling sensation in may hands and legs so I went to see the doctor.
First order of the doctor was for my to loose weight to avoid further problems. She also asked me to undergo xrays and blood / lab tests to ensure I wasn't suffering from diabetes... Luckily, blood sugar is OK but SGPT showed I have fatty liver.  A medical condition that can be treated with proper diet and weight lost.

Eager to be well and healthy, I bought a weighing scale to monitor my weight and progress ... Lo and Behold, got the shock of my life when I saw how heavy I've become ... This indeed a wake up call for me... to lower my weight to at least 150 by end of the year...  Its a big challenge but I've got push my self. And I know I can do it!

Keep the Faith

Keep the Faith !
It is so difficult if you are living with
people who has unpredictable mood swings... One moment they are super sweet, the next min they could get grouchy or worse, they couldn't care less and act as if u don't exist ... The only thing that will keep u going is your Faith that this too shall pass .... And you'll just pick up the pieces and move on.
