Weight of what was

April 24, 2008

The “weight of what was” is actually a Ghost Whiperer episode title. For me, somehing else haunts me..My weight!! Yup, tried to weigh myself the other day and I was shocked! Really shocked at what came out. I gained so much weight. I remember before I got pregnant I only weighed 85lbs. having such a petite frame and I weighed 125lbs. until I gave birth. I immediately lost that pounds and from then on I was 95lbs. until the day I weighed myself..102lbs..

Now, how can I lost that extra pounds since I really can’t last a day without rice and with my personal chef (aka Mi Amour) cooking I don’t think I can do it.  But I guess I’ll start eating healthy this time by:

-consume half a cup of rice only

-drink lots of water

-fruit juice instead of soda, tea and coffee

-cut down on meat opt for fish and veggies

-fruits for dessert instead of chocolates

-muesli instead of fudge brownies (Mi amour’s specialty, oh my gosh!)

And this weekend, I will check some running shoes. I’ll start by jogging my way to slimville again as the bulges are coming to get me..

‘Gotta run..

The buzz on Gossip Girl

April 23, 2008

Since I moved to Dubai, I got hooked on every tv series available for my viewing pleasure. I’ve watched every season of Friends, Smallville, Grey’s Anatomy, Heroes, Ghost Whisperer, Entourage, Prison Break and The OC.

I’ve already watched Episodes 1-7 and I can say that life in the Upper East Side of Manhattan is glamorous and scandalous. I’m making some comparisons with The OC and I guess they just sterotyped the lives of the rich and popular teens to be troubled and have twisted family backgrounds. Well isn’t that always the case. Dating, fraud, drugs, fashion, name it both has the same subplots; not ot mention it is also created by J.S.

Episode 14 was aired last night, it garnered 2.4 million views. hoping to catch that new episode soon.

Watch it. I know you’ll love it..

Canal Walk at Dubai Festival City

April 20, 2008

Mi Amour and I went to the Toy Kingdom at Dubai Festival City with friends last Friday. Isabel asked for Nori of Mermaidia, good to know she’s deviating from the pink stuff now as Nori is in purple hue. I love the Barbie Mariposa but I’ll be getting it for her birthday. 

After getting what we went for, we headed outside at Canal Walk. Good thing it was windy and the afternoon temperatures weren’t that bad. There were gondolas sorta like Venice canals minus the singing gondolier. Restaurants and food carts and souvenir kiosks lined outside the Mall.

We went grocery shopping at the nearby Hyper Panda and before we called it a night Mi Amour and I had dinner at Ikea Restaurant across Hyper Panda.

Check out some of our pix:

If the shoe fits…

April 15, 2008

I’m thinking of buying a new walking shoes, actually I need to buy one (mi amour might read this post, I might as well drop a hint) as my ballet flats now shows signs of too much wear. I leave my work shoes at the office so to speak :) and after that I change into something comfortable as I do a little walking.

My little footsies would like these treats:

1) Nine West Lovable

2) Perlina Nadine

3) Frye Kat Mary Jane

I hope I could find these beauties as my problem in shoe shopping is my size, size 35. I remember when i shopped at Charles & Keith Serendra – The Fort, it was size 34. ‘Can’t wait to try them all..

What I’m listening to…

April 13, 2008

I’ve been listening to this song for a week now after watching a Smallville episode “Hero”. The scenes when the song was played really fits esp. when Lex Luthor closes the door and behind him was Kara.

Back to the song, I didn’t know it was quite old as this was released in 2006 and was then a big hit. It was remixed by Timbaland who added certain drum beat that made it more serious, added depth and very emo. Actually, there’s not much difference but the hype in YouTube was phenomenal, it garnered 48 Million views. I hope this song will not be One Republic’s one hit number as Ryan Tedder, the bands lead vocals and writer (who looks like BenMcKenzie of The OC) is really cute.

I wonder what was I listening to during this time??

My Own McDreamy=Ryan Gosling

April 10, 2008

yea, it’s true, the best things in life are free.

Ryan Gosling and I had a thing. He introduced me with his parents and same with me. We were discussing about how we would call each other, like babe, sweet, honey…And he was really sweet that night.He has this look that makes you weak, voice that makes you want to listen and snuggle in the couch all day, eyes full of emotions, a body that you can linger to and a smile that says everything’s going to be alright..

Poof….I realized I was dreaming. The alarm went on and damn it. I was really pissedI don’t want to go out of bed still as I am savouring every tinnie tiny details of our brief affair…..Haha, nice try…I was on my best mood that day esp. in the office. I was smiling all day and I can’t stop Googling Ryan Gosling. I checked on his bio, photos, movies and all sorts. Mind you, nagtatrabaho din po ako. I’m online if I have the luxury of time to do it. Pero, it was Ryan’s day..I’ve looked every article of him on the web. OMG, I realized I was a stalker that day..You can ask me anything about him even trivial things. He joined Mickey Mouse Club together with JT, BS and CA and now he has a band named Dead Man’s Bones. You can sample their singles at their myspace site. They don’t have an album yet but he says someday they will. I’m still finding for ways to get hold of his two singles to put in my Ipod and I’m seriously watching every movie that he made.

Ryan is so hot, sexy and one smart guy. He’s definitely in my Notebook. I can go on forever about Ryan Gosling but one thing is for sure..

Ryan is my MCDREAMY…..
