When we went grocery shopping the other day, my sister and I saw the numerous holiday food available already. My mouth watered over some of it. We almost bought that home-made sweet ham but I restrained myself. I am trying to cut down on my food consumption as much as possible, eliminating temptations at home. I will definitely need diet pills after the holidays still. But no need to indulge on holiday food this early. Hard but doable.

I now have two more new godchildren added to my Christmas list. One is Sophie, my friend Tim’s daughter. Another one is AJ, a cousin’s son. I am still thinking of what to give Sophie. Knowing her mom, I have to give her something really cute! Hahaha! For baby AJ, I might give him a Ju Ju Be diaper bag. Practical and very useful especially since my cousin is shuffling from one house to another.

My brother is asking me to help him find something in helping him build his body the way he wants it to. James is slim for a guy. But he is well-built especially now he is lifting weights. But he wants to be bulkier like our other male cousins. I am looking at http://store.bodybuildingfactory.com/ now for something that will aid him in this quest for a bulkier build. I know this is caused by the fact that he is more conscious about his body now, him being in college. But there are days I still see him as my little baby brother.

My brother James is building his muscles. He is exercising regularly, lifting. I remember my high school classmates. I didn’t see them for just one summer and the next school year, they were all muscled up already! It’s like they took 4 ad the whole summer to grow those muscles. A close friend fell in love with a guy friend of mine even more because of it. Hahaha

I am so sleepy lately. Today, I slept in then I had my siesta. But still, I am sleepy. Did I eat something? I can’t remember what I ate for breakfast. But I ate fish at lunch. Hmm… Anyway, it might have something to do with my lack of exercise and well, I don’t move around that much. Ever since I worked at home, this is one of the things I am battling with. Regular exercise. Unlike when I was still working, of course, I walk around a bit. Oh well, I will have to whisk out the step-on machine and start that daily regimen now. First, I have to look into aluminum fence installation first. My cousins are always left at home without their parents. They are teens now but it still is more safe to install a fence around their house.

If you are watching teen shows, you will notice these teens who are so skinny you can already see their skeletal make-up. It’s like they are all addicted to diet pills and have gone bone-thin because of it. I notice these things because Hazel loves watching teen shows. I also read in several entertainment sites about the stars of the new Beverly Hills 90210. How the stars are so anorexic-looking one of them is like a walking skeleton! It’s okay to want to be slim and sexy and healthy. But it’s another thing in bringing it too far you’d become anorexic in the process.

I am not getting any younger. I know that. I often hear my friends and relatives tell me this. They want me to be proactive in my search for that special someone who will sweep me off my feet and will live happily ever after with me. Blah.
Holidays for singles is what they suggested when I saw my friends a couple of weeks ago. You can find it at JustYou.co.uk, a web site dedicated to holiday cruises. They have a specialized cruise for singles out there. Imagine being in a ship where all you meet are single like you? It would be a great way to meet a potential special someone, right? A Single Cruise sounds appealing to me.
So if you are looking for Singles Cruises, where you will have a high probability of meeting someone you can date, single like you, go to JustYou.co.uk and book a passage for a singles cruise. It would have been really great if me and my other single friends can go. It will surely be a lot of fun. I know I am not getting any younger. Maybe a singles cruise will do me a world of good. And jolt me out of my complacency.

I love floral centerpieces! It brings joy to a rather dull room, don’t you think? Well, I think it does. When you go to my grandma’s house, you can just feel instantly that old people live there. She lives with my two grandaunts. And they are all senior citizens already, over 60 now. But because they love flowers at home, it makes every room look alive.
You can always find a floral centerpiece on the dining table and at the living room center table. The one at the living room is fake flowers. While the one at the dining table is always fresh. Changed after a few days. The three old women love flowers and it makes their house more cozy, lively and bright. All their visitors would remark on the effect of the flowers on the atmosphere of their home. I, myself, notice it every time I visit them.
Their floral centerpieces would be lovely this coming Thanksgiving. I will volunteer to buy their center table fresh flowers even for just this holiday season. I saw lovely centerpieces at www.1800Flowers.com and I have an idea what will go well in their living room. I can already see the effect of the floral centerpiece come Thanksgiving!

I learned that a relative got sick and was in the hospital. They were asking for financial help but I had to say no. I am taking care of my grandma right now and income was down for me. I just felt bad that they see me as a bank account that they can withdraw money from every time they need some. And when you can’t give, they’d feel like you are not sharing your blessings… Sometimes it makes me feel guilty. But then I’d realize I have far more important things to save money for. Like my grandma’s medicines.
I also learned that my favorite aunt (my dad’s younger sister), the one whom I consider as my second mom, suffered a mild stroke. We were not apprised of what happened. I just learned because she texted me about it. She’s now at home, recuperating. This is my aunt who worried with me when I was embroiled in a big problem in the past. She was the one who gave up her savings just to help me get out of debts before. It made me feel sad that I wasn’t there when she was rushed to the hospital due to chest pains. I wish I could have been there for her. Anyway, I will be visiting her later. Hopefully, she’ll be 100% recovered soon.
Really sucks for your love ones to get sick. I pray they’d all be okay pretty soon!

TMA Today: What does your shower gel smell of?
I love shower gels, body wash and the like. I have three bottles of shower gel given by my aunt. One smells of lavender, freesia and green tea. I often use the green tea because the smell is really soothing to the nerves.
What about you?
