Food Friday

I forgot the name of the restaurant (it was the first time we ate there), but the shot above was what we had for lunch. I wanted to try something 'different' that day, so instead of going to the Japanese restaurant that my son frequented, we chose a Vietnamese restaurant instead. It was ok, but not "to die for". LOL

*will be posting Food Friday here until my other blog is up and running ... many thanks to everyone for being patient and understanding. :)

**additional info: my other blog is now up, but am not sure if there are still malicious scripts behind; need to wait and see some more before I host back Food Friday there... and please ... if that site tells you to download something --- DON'T! that's the malicious script 'talking', and it means I haven't fully deleted them/it yet. haaayyyy.

Just being practical ...

My youngest son is now a year and eight months old, and boy is he growing up fast! Well, I guess that that's typical of babies his age. That's why when I choose baby clothes I pick out those that is slightly bigger than his current size. If I don't, then some of the clothes (that I will be buying) he wouldn't get to wear at all!

I almost always buy clothes that are on sale, too. I mean, honestly I don't see the point of buying casual clothes that are so expensive; but that's different for formal wear, of course. :D

Youth ....

Back when I was in college there were nights when I thought that I'd be needing one of those sleep aid pills just so I'd have a good night's rest. I used to stay up late (well, like I do now, lol) and still feel all revved up even if it was already way past midnight. Blame it all on youth, I guess. lol. But now that I am older I can fall asleep so fast sometimes it surprises me. I guess I just feel bone-tired sometimes I never notice until I put my head on my pillow.

Rest, that's what I need. And lots of time. For myself. :D

Enchanted ...

My family and I went here a few weekends ago (Enchanted Kingdom) .... we had lots of fun! Too bad we couldn't stay long for the fireworks scheduled that day.

Well, there's always a next time! ;)

Do research

I agree, it is a good idea to do some research first before embarking on something; be it buying that gadget you've always wanted, or taking off weight. I read in one of those hydroxycut advanced reviews that sometimes the leading diet pill can also have side effects that could be harmful instead of helpful. Or like the one I read about this phonecam that seems so high-tech but have software issues. It helps to read/ask around, and do research on your own; that way you wouldn't have anyone to blame but yourself! :P

Better be safe ...

After I gave birth to our youngest son some of my friends commented that I looked thinner than ever before; but I never really paid much attention to it, until I noticed that my pants seemed to be getting bigger. lol. But today's a different story, since I noticed that my pants seemed to fit me 'right' again. Meaning, my need for one of those ephedra diet pills might come sooner than expected! :D

Honestly, I haven't tried any of those diet pills since I am a bit apprehensive about what my reaction might be (to the chemical); and if ever I will try one of those pills I need to have a chat with my doctor first (since I am still breastfeeding). Better be safe than sorry! :)

Back then ...

When I was young we used to have a comic lying here and there around the house. I guess you can't help it with nine children running around the house! What struck me then (even at a young age) was that those comic books had advertisements about body building, including body building supplements. I don't know if they were safe, or not, but they seemed to promise you a bigger body so that you won't get bullied anymore. The illustrations were quite effective and eye-catching; even for a grade school kid like me! :)

Now our house back then wasn't all that messy, really. In fact, come to think of it ... my house right now is messier and there are only two adults and two kids around! ;P
