Just finished checking out Titan luggage as per recommendation of my cousin and I’m now organizing photos in my laptop when I saw this …

Banana Walnut Waffle

Waaah, major craving now! Its the holidays so we all have to excuse to ruin our diets, right? Say yes, will yah?

This is ME every (mostly) morning. In a nearby cafe (Delifrance in this photo) having breakfast with my ever reliable OLD but still kicking laptop. Checking emails and replying to some, doing online tasks, helping friends or cousins research on something like pleasanton motorcycle accident attorney maybe, chatting with friends, blogging and facebooking.  I love my mornings!  I get most stuff done in the morning/  Perfect way to start the day, right?

I have tons of work lined up for me aside from the husband’s order to read up on Blue Cross Blue Shield NC so I need energy boosters, haha. I hope I get everything done before the husband comes home this afternoon as I still have to pack his stuff for his impromptu HK trip tomorrow morning which reminds me – I still don’t have his electronic ticket from PAL, oh my!

College days come to mind when I eat Shakeys’ bunch of lunch. Jon and I used to love having these set meals at Shakeys Dapitan some 10 years back. Oh, those days! I could eat 3 sets of this meal and would still be reed thin! I wonder what happened. Now, even fat burner pills won’t work on me. Sigh.

Today, I officially start South Beach Diet. Wish me luck.  I hopeI lose some 10 pounds in time for Mateo’s Party.

Now, before we all go broke with the coming holidays, there’s a way we can save up while we shop for our Christmas wishlist this year and the years to come. Holiday coupons are the answer. They have been my shopping buddy ever since. And they should be yours too! You wont imagine how much you’ll save in the long run, I swear. This year, I have been saving up the Esprit discount coupons I saw online for my Christmas shopping alone. I saw some really nice blouses at their online site that are perfect for my friends. At very reasonable prices too so I just might sneak in a few pieces for me.

Christmas shopping here I come!

Today I had this to jump start my day. YUMMY! And boy was I full. Love love Angus Tapa from Las Paellas cafe, really. I can never get tired eating it. The best tapa for me and Jon. When I was pregnant with Mateo, I used to eat this every single day which probably explains why I gained so much weight. Haha. What I don’t like though is its quite oily of course making me prone to pimple breakouts which is why I am now looking at herbal acne treatment. Any leads?

3. Lately, things seem TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.

4. THE BATHROOM is one of my favorite ‘hiding’ places.

5. What happened IN VEGAS STAYS IN VEGAS?!?!.

6. LOSING WEIGHT is not impossible!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to OUR FAMILY REUNION, tomorrow my plans include GETTING A FACIAL and Sunday, I want to WATCH IN MY LIFE!

Boneless Chicken BBQ

Yeah I know, too heavy for breakfast, right? I don’t care, I have to eat their specialty, haha. Even at 6:30am!

The husband can’t stop smiling while we were eating. I sure looked someone on a diet daw. Nang-aasar! If I know, he just wanted a piece of what I was eating, LOL. Well, sorry for him as I didn’t have any left over! Yucky ano? I really really eat a LOT! I guess even the best diet pill won’t work for me if I don’t cut down on my food intake. And since I can’t do that, I guess I should stop buying any more diet pills as its just a waste of money. Instead I should just go get myself a really nice wrinkle cream as lines are already starting to appear under my eyes. Getting old is scary!
