: : my hair & my diet (totally clueless-like): :


I had a hair make over the other day... Had a hair cut to put the style in as well as having it professionally colored for the very first time!!! (There goes my technically virgin hair!) I had those home coloring kits before, twice, & my Mum had to do it for me. And I gotta say that doing it in the salon doesn't really differ much from it. The color seems to concentrate more on the top of my head as always!!! Or would the color subside a bit after a few washings? But then that's absurd coz I paid to have my hair - it's whole entirety included I presumed, to be colored... And now I have to wash it off a bit to take out the color?! Oh well... It's not really that bad... Perhaps I'm just paranoid as usual coz it's something new to me... But I like it... It's almost as if the color of my hair transformed me - my personality and the way I carry myself...
Who am I kidding! It's only been 2 days since I did it!!! Haha... I guess I am getting ahead of myself. But then that's how I feel. I gotta check again in a couple of days more... =)
It does look great on pictures though! (Narcisstic me talking there) Now how do i attain the same "look" that I had after stepping out of th salon on my own? The problem is, it took two staff to create such a look with my hair... Oh drat...
When I attended the company xmas party the other night (but of course I did it before the party dahling!), my girls whom I haven't seen in a while told me that I seem to have lost some weight. Huh??? I've been gorging on food lately and I know I've gained weight! I know so - admittedly. But they all say they just want to smack me for saying so... It's weird though, coz everytime I do the "eating healthy bit" or also know as dieting, they tell me that I'm gaining weight. But when I ditch dieting and binge out at McDonalds, they tell me I've lost weight! Is there some kind of conspiracy going on here? I wonder.... Hmmm.... lol =)
So I guess for the new year I should just stop bothering with the dieting bit and just eat and eat and eat whatever I want!(except pork and beef coz I've really quit eating them) It works better for me it seems...
Eat more to slim down... Lol =)

: : Merry Season '04 : :


Yup 'tis the season to be jolly yet again... And indeed it is... Parties, reunion, or just a simple get-together seems to be endless soon as December kicks in... After 11 months of slaving through work (for most of us working that is), this is the month to unwind, be with friends - both old and new, and just be merry. After 11 months of having (or trying?) a diet, this is also the season to throw away such notions and just simply indulge on everything that we have resisted (at least for most of us! Some people have a stronger will power to resist still). Food galore, and flowing booze wherever you go! (But of course this shouldn't really be so... We should still stick with the "healthy" diet and drink and eat in moderation.... Oh come on!!! Realistically speaking we all know we forget (or should I say ignore?) such things when it's Christmas!!!)
though it's still hard to be merry specially whenever i think about the loss of my beloved dog...
A week to go before christmas... Yet to be honest, I'm still really not feeling very "christmasy"... Sure I'm happy with all the festivities. I'm also glad that my Mum is in the country right now to spend the holidays with us. And sure of course I LOVE the presents, as well the act of the giving of gifts (though I still haven't actually completed my list, come to think of it I don't exactly have a list! More like just whoever I remember... I really do have to organize and get down to doing things...). But somehow, there's still something missing... And no, it's not because I don't have a significant other for that matter! That's a totally different story altogether. Hehe. But seriously now... I miss the feeling that I had when I was just a kid... When for the whole year, all you're anticipating for is the christmas season... That time when I used to believe in santa claus... That only "nice" girls would get gifts on christmas day, so better not be a naughty girl... And never get fed up of how Baby Jesus was born on that day... And believing...
I guess I miss the feeling of truly believing on christmas...
I'm no Scrooge or anything... I participate in the celebration and everything... But I guess somehow, in some time, somewhere along the line, I stopped believing... Lost the spirit...
I grew up.
That's what happened.

: : Moochie... : :


My baby's gone...
She died last Friday morning, 3rd December... She was ran over by a truck... I haven't felt so much sadness in my heart for such a long while... We love her dearly... The thought of her being gone never even entered my mind... And to think that she had a brutal death...
To some it may seem like I'm just over reacting... That she's just a pet dog... But Moochie was more than that... Just writing about her loss is too much for me...
Maybe soon I can write about her without shedding a tear... Soon... I hope...
But not now...

: : of typhoons, colds, and what-nots... : :


* my country's literally being attacked by a series of storms this past week... it's a sad thing to see what's happening especially in the rural areas where there has been flash floods, land slides, more floods, and more disaster... The death toll is staggering...

* my mother's scheduled to fly in the country in a couple of days... I hope this will not delay her arrival... I miss my Mom...

* I have this unending cold... Most likely because of the weather...

* I'm still feeling confused... Maybe even more confused as I was before... Oh well... Such is life...
