My version of tomato omelette

Posted on January 24, 2012 by Anna

Hahahaha! Last night, we had tomato omelette made by my Mom. I kind of miss what I usually have in the office canteen so I declared that I will cook my version today for breakfast. I asked my brother to chop the onions and tomatoes in tiny cubes. Then I needed three big eggs beaten and added half cup of water. I sauteed the onions and tomatoes in oil. To taste, I added seasoning and salt to the egg mixture. When The onions and tomatoes gave that roasted aroma, I poured in the egg mixture and mixed and mixed until I saw yellow. Yum! I really enjoyed it! Too bad, no picture, huh!

I miss his guitar

Posted on January 24, 2012 by Anna

My husband’s electric guitar has been with his younger brother for the longest time now. I think that he should get it or we should buy a new jeff beck stratocaster. Well, I miss listening to him playing a guitar. Also, our son is already eight years old and I think he is also musically inclined. Right now, they are just bonding over a game console’s wireless electronic guitar application.

Guide for 2012

Posted on January 23, 2012 by Anna

Kung Hei Fat Choi! It is Chinese New Year! I guess, it is the best time to create my New Year’s goals!
Well, as you all know, I want to have a lighter weight!
I also would like to get promoted maybe? Well, that would be a lot of hard work for this year 2012, then promotion would be in 2013 PA. I do not know but I think that I am actually better than most of the people there. Quite egoistic, huh! Anyways, I would just do the best that I could.
At home and family, the second floor expansion is not yet finished. I am not quite sure if this can be done by 2012. But, it will always be in the list.
We plan to buy a RV too! Yey! That one comes with an insurance which is a must. Done with rv insurance quote. Yey for that!
Whoa! So many plans for 2012! At least, I have plans. It is really best to list down priorities which would serve as your guide, right?

Still at 169 lbs.

Posted on January 22, 2012 by Anna

I was afraid to check my weight knowing that I pigged out this week. Actually, I started eating “normal” again last January 14 until January 21. Well, today is January 22 and I plan to diet again.

Why I went back to eating? My co-worker laughed at me when I told her that I have cough thus I must eat. I laughed at the idea too! :) Well, I do not know but I know myself and my health. Besides, one of the rules in the contest is to stay healthy. No sick leaves!

So, the weight is still at 169 lbs. I know, I must maintain that or even make it lower if I want to reach my goal.

Inspiring Filipino Bloggers

Posted on January 22, 2012 by Anna

I was watching Kabuhayang Swak na Swak at ABS-CBN and they featured Laureen Uy. I was curious of her blog and visited it. Pretty blog,huh! I was inspired. Well, you know, it is just a personal blog yet she is able to mix business with it. She photographs herself and models products that she loves. Oh, she is a real fashionista. I love her rings! I love her shoes too. Now, I am inspired again to lose weight so that I can be as fashionable as her.

I was also able to stumble at the pages of the other bloggers–Filipino bloggers that inspire me once again. Jenni Epperson and Nina. Pretty blogs!

Somehow, I feel inferior seeing those nice blogs but then again, I know that if only I will give it time, I can build a nice blog too. :)

Study harder

Posted on January 15, 2012 by Anna

Yey! Son got higher grades this grading period! We thought that he will have lower grades considering the results of his recent exams. Anyways, I told my son to study harder because it is for his future. I know that he listens well. I pray that my son will grow up to have good values. I can see that he has qualities that would really help him in the future. I just pray that he maintains that or even improve for the better.

Still agile at 70

Posted on January 15, 2012 by Anna

It has been a long time since I have seen my old boss. Yes, old and previous, I can say. I lost track of his age but I believe he is in his 70s already or even nearing 80, I think. But, you know what? He is still very agile considering that he is a septuagenarian already, ha! As a matter of fact, he was asking me to buy golf gps watch for him. Oh, I used to work as a purchaser and canvasser for his company that is why he still sees me as that.

The Biggest Loser Challenge in The Office

Posted on January 8, 2012 by Anna

One of the good things that the TV show, The Biggest Loser imparts is the weight loss campaign. It also promotes healthy living. In the office, someone started our own TBL! I joined! The entrance fee is P500. There are 16 participants and the money is 8K. Whoever has the highest weight loss percentage after three months will win the Eight thousand Pesos! I hope to win!

Initial weigh in was last January 4, 2012. I weighed 175 lbs! At my weighing scale at home, it was 174.6 lbs. As of today, I am at 172.2. Well, Today is January 8 and 4 days has passed. 2.4 lbs in 4 days, not bad, huh! That is without exercise yet.

I plan to cut on food intake first until the Holiday food is already gone. 172 was my pre-Holiday weight, actually. If I reached the plateau in dieting, I will then combine exercise.

Any suggestions?
