Truth About My Weight

Hello! Today's Sunday. My mag-ama went out for a basketball game. John kasi would always play basketball kapag Sunday, sinama nya si Johann. Perfect time for me to blog! :)

I just want to share to you (if I have readers. lol.) some things about me and my weight.

When I was dalaga, I was thinner. Chubby, but thinner, compared now. My height is 5"1" and my weight before is from 115lbs to 118lbs. It even went down to 108lbs to 110lbs but average would be the first weight I mentioned. I fit a size Medium in most of the clothes. Large kapag masikip sa arms. Sa arms kasi talaga nagkakatalo. I have brusko arms so if Medium ang damit pero masikip sa arms, I change it to Large. So yeah, Medium to Large ako. Get the picture?

I really looked young, pretty and blooming then. Kasi comfortable ako sa everything. Clothes, face, tummy not showing etc. Now kasi, I feel bloated, fat, parang my clothes kept on shrinking on me na hindi na ako kasya sakanila. Haha!

When I got pregnant, I was not that fat. I gained weight but not too much, so I figured, mabilis babalik ang katawan ko. Johann was not that big din when I had him. First few months, I was a typical na nanganak. Still the same weight when I was pregnant. But as months passed, I gained and gained.

Preggy. 6-7 months na yata ako nyan. 

I am a stay-at-home mommy. Johann's malikot but I make it bawi sa food intake lagi. When I am depressed or stressed, I eat. When I am pagod, I eat. When I am happy, I still eat! Haha. No exercise.

Honestly, that is may be one reason why I seldom go out. I am so conscious of how I look and how I weigh. I get ill-tempered that I can't wear any nice clothes anymore 'coz hindi na kasya yung mga luma kong damit. I also seldom buy clothes that's why I have only a number to choose from. I am not kasi a type of person na would wear sexy clothes or fitted clothes kahit mataba. May iba kasi, mukhang suman sa damit if they wear uber fitted eh. No offense meant to those who wear clothes like that. It's just that it is not me. I am not comfortable with that eh.

I enrolled back to boxing and even gym. (Dati pala, kaya ako payat kasi, nagboboxing ako sa Elorde and nagggym ako sa Fitness First. Sarado na kasi Elorde sa SM Southmall kaya nakakatamad na sa malayo magboxing.) Anyway, I enrolled in a boxing gym located in Madrigal Business Park, Alabang. 4 months ako naka-enroll. Come 4th month, medyo tinatamad nako. Lost few pounds. But ever since I stopped, I gained again. I have been telling John, if I really want to lose weight, dapat consistent ang gym ko. Since I am not enrolled anymore, pano ako magwowork out? Sis in law ko kasi, payat na. Pero it took her more than 2 years din, bago na maintain yung figure. Kasi, hindi natatanggal gym nya. There would be times na she's lazy to go but atleast, anytime, she can come back. That's what I want. Pero siyempre, we're not that mayaman naman. So dapat, once enrolled, sulitin. Which I didn't.

Why am I gaining? It is because I am a rice person. Take note. I eat lunch and dinner. Twice lang ha? Pero since I eat rice, I keep on gaining weight. Usually pa kasi, 1 and half cup rice ako. Haha! If masarap ulam, hanggang 2 cups. lol. In between meals, I seldom eat. Pero if eat usually fatty food. Ice cream, chocolate, sweets, or junk food. Diba? Sino ba naman di tataba non?

However, there are people who I really idolize for their dedication in losing weight. They are Mommy Fleur, Mommy Cheryll, Tina de Guzman and Joanne Avila (friends of mine) and Marie Flores (also a friend). I have been observing them for almost 2-3 months now. They are losing weight. Kailangan talaga ang mind set. San ba nakakabili non? Pa-order nga ako.

I tend to be tamad talaga kasi at times. Pero as I said, I need my mind to be set in order for me to get back into my dalaga weight. Exercise, eat well and control.

Ate Che of Out of The Box Ideas, told me, I should reveal, make kwento and blog it so the whole world (lol. daming readers?) will witness this. Para mag-pursige ako magpapayat. I will start again tomorrow. Jogging, diet and control. No rice, no sweets etc.

Will update what and how I am doing about this project me, soon! :)

Current weight: 145lbs. Kapag busog, 148lbs. Haha! :D

Reason of Love..

I was checking and scanning my old blog and I found the content below. Was dated ages ago! Haha.. Kiddin'! It was dated September 24, 2007..


it is just so amazing that two different person meet and discover each other's personalities.

in whatever situation, it is also amazing that one fights for a reason.

a reason called love.

a reason where in you accept things which you have never imagined doing so.

a reason where smile is always seen on your face.

a reason why you are so "kilig" everytime he sends you a message,

talks to you, puts his arms around you, teases you and

tells you he likes you.

it is just so amazing as well that no matter how many questions you have in your mind,

you still end up wanting that person,

and continues to like him more and maybe love him next.

Isn't this amazing?

That there is one reason that justifies almost everything on earth?

Reason of Love..and
Love is in the air, and always will be..

Johann's 1st Birthday Prep Finale

Part 4

So there you go. I have already shared the details regarding my son's 1st Birthday party. To tell you honestly, planning and preparing gave me headaches! But everything was worth it! I had few small disappointments (like the ribbons for the chairs that were forgotten, the balloon decors that I hoped for, the gate crasher kids lol, and other things...) but the party was still a success. As I said in my previous entry, nobody went home with nothing. Every kid received generous amount of loots. :) Every guest enjoyed the food. Some even went back to get more. My suppliers were really patient enough to deal with me and what I wanted and requested.

Lastly, my son actually enjoyed the party. Especially afterwards. He had all the time to play with his titas/ninangs and some other kids. However, he was kind of irritated when night came, may be because he was already tired, pero gusto padin takbo ng takbo. Ayaw pakarga.

We want to thank all those who came to the party. I really hoped that everybody enjoyed everything.

Johann also wants to thank those who gave him gifts. I actually hid some of the gifts my friends gave him. Not really hid but kept away from Johann and displayed on top of the cabinet thingy. If I let him play with those kasi, he might swallow some of the small pieces. Also, he would just ruin it by throwing. So, I will just let him play with those toys when he knows how to play with them na. :)

To my baby Johann,


Happy 1st Birthday anak! You're very precious to us. You're the greatest gift that God has given us. I am happy that you're growing up healthy. However, you're so likot anak! Please try to be still sometimes okay? Try to walk slowly too. You keep on bumping on things kasi... because you keep on running. Nevertheless, you're still so cute and so bibo!


Don't worry baby, mommy and papa will be here for you always. We'll guide you all the way! We love you! I just pray that you'll grow up just like your papa. We love you so much! 


P.S. 
Anak, don't grow up too fast. We might not be able to catch up with you. Take it slowly ha? Again, I loveyou Johann Lexer! 

In-Laws...

Have you ever heard of husband-wife fights because of in-laws? Have you experienced being tortured by in-laws? Have you been acting "plastically" in front of your in-laws? Well, those are stories I hear from other friends or strangers who are now living or trying to live their lives with in-laws.

Fortunately for me, I don't have problems with my in-laws. I'm actually happy that they accepted me even with my bratinella personality. I'm really lucky to have found the love of my life that has a family like theirs. Since I really did not grow up being close to mom and dad, I really appreciate my mom-in-law's opinions and "pangaral". She's like my second mom nadin talaga. My husband's family is so close that sometimes I envy them. I really do adore my father-in-law because of his eagerness to do almost all stuff in the house like repairing or fixing and cleaning. Ika nga nila "laking pakinabang ni papa sa bahay". Andami niyang nagagawang mga bagay na malaking tulong sa family and sa house. "Two thumbs up to you papa!"


It's so amazing that even though I felt before like I'm all alone, God still gave me hope through my husband and his family. I can honestly tell you that I have an attitude that is unlikely. But it lessened when I met John... and now, I'm happy that once in a while, I talk to my mom-in-law regarding facts of life and the like where in she gives me advices or lectures that I would certainly treasure.

I am so thankful for my in-laws. Without them, I know, John won't be the John I loved. As I said earlier, I don't have problems with my in-laws, I just hope as well, that they don't have problems with me. :)

I love you both! Don't worry Ma, Pa.... I will also love your son with all my heart, until my last breath and forever...
