Just waiting ...

I have had my phone for almost four years now, and I have always thought of getting a new and higher capacity memory stick. I used to take lots and lots of pictures when I first got my phone, but as the years progressed I guess the novelty has worn off. It still manages to take decent pictures (like the one above), and I guess that's why I haven't thought of changing it. I am satisfied with the quality of the shots and how fairly easy it is to operate ... let's just hope that my phone won't die out on me soon! lol. :)

Intimidation

The first time I tried those treadmills I was intimidated. Not because I was heavy and couldn't make it, but because it had lots of buttons and I didn't know what and which buttons to push! Silly me, huh?! Hubby and I were thinking of buying one, then. But, as expected, we didn't get it. Instead, hubby enrolled in one of those fitness gyms with a trainer while I decided to melt away my excess blubber (lol) walking (and taking pictures at the same time) in one of the universities near our home. Am not sure if I got rid of the excess weight at that time but I had lots of fun walking and taking pictures.

If only I could do that again ... without the excess weight this time. :)

Sooo long ...

I have been away from the internet for soooo long! Well, actually I do still go online, but I couldn't use my computer. But now that we're home I feel happy that I can go online whenever I want to (except, of course, if I just couldn't! LOL); and the best part: I get to use my computer!!!! :D

... just me rambling away. ;P

Plant(s)

My mom have always been interested in plants and so we always have a garden at home. One time it was mostly a vegetable garden, then the next it was just a jumble of different plants from friends and family. My mother couldn't get the landscaping design that she wanted that time since the empty lot that we had next door was converted into a parking lot for our trucks. You can just imagine the oil, gasoline and black stuffs all around!

Outer Banks homes, am sure, is totally different! I can just imagine the picturesque scenery and the relaxing atmosphere ... quite like the feeling that I get when I look at the shot below that I took, while I was in my mother's garden a few weeks ago. :)

Eating ...

After all the eating that I have been doing during our vacation (more or less two months ...) I think that it's about time I should be serious about colon cleanser! lol. Though I haven't really been eating junk food much (just your usual chips and sweet desserts every now and then), since my parents don't really approve of those; so they seldom serve them at home. Actually, it was my sister (who also has a sweet tooth like me) and I who bought those sweet snacks almost every afternoon... we just couldn't resist the temptation! ;P

Or maybe I should just stop eating junk food for a while ... ;)

Still here, but ...

It has been more than a month now and I must admit that there are certainly times during our vacation that I have really splurged on food! I guess it's because we're on vacation right now and somehow thinking about your waistline can easily be forgotten. I just hope that I won't be needing any diet pills soon! lol. If I continue with my present "eating style" I know I will search the internet soon for diet pill reviews!

Oh well .. our vacation's coming to a close anyway, since my son's classes starts on the first week of June. So early ... and so soon!

Weekly Questions (#48)

WQ #48: With the swine flu cases escalating and people being afraid to do the things they usually do, what precautions do you do to protect yourself and your family?

It is a scary thought (being diagnosed with any disease), but we normally don't let it affect us that much. Of course, we have to be extra careful (more vigilant that the kids ~ as well as the adults ~ wash their hands, eat nourishing foods, take their vitamins, and change shirts specially when they perspire), but we still go through our usual routines. I must admit though, that I now take the time to "de-stress" regularly (i think that that will help boost one's immune system). And that means sleeping regularly! LOL.

I just hope that the disease will be "stopped" soon.
