Because Litcoo Tagged me.

So I'll try to share a bit of myself.

I must post the rules, 7 random things about me and then tag others to do the same. Sound fair enough, right? These are the rules… each player starts with 7 random facts about themselves on their Blog. People who are tagged need to blog 7 facts about themselves and post the rules as well. At the end of their blog list 7 people you are tagging. Let them know that they are tagged by leaving them a comment.

1. I only had 1 boyfriend and I've been married to him twice. One in civil rites and one in the the church. I want to marry him again. *wink*

2. Hubby and I are going to Europe three days past my "coming of age" and we're not taking the kids. Does that sound appalling to you? Look, I've done my research long ago and I was advised against taking even my 5 year old kid. :(

3. I love being distinct in dressing up - it boosts my confidence.

4. I used to sing well - now my left vocal cord has been paralyzed.

5. I have an older sister and a younger brother and both of them are single.

6. I'm a scrapooker, occasionally.

7. I can't swim.

I'm tagging anyone who comes past this post :)

Welcoming a friend Down Under...

Finally, after years of planning, our good friend (back in college) and kumare from the Phils arrived last Sunday for a month long business trip.


It's always a pleasure to be in the company of your close friends. Those you've grown up with and has acknowledged the best in you and has been tolerant of your not so good side too.



Nice to have you KT down under! I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay!

Love,
MaHan

My Wiggly Boys

Just wanna share a few pics of the boys... taken last Saturday morning.

Incidentally, both had the "Murray" look - the Red Wiggle...

They both love playing together and tugging toys from each other. It's a joy seeing them interact but I had to pull them apart when they start getting rough. But it's the part of their play that they enjoy most. What to do when boys become boys?

Detox Day 2

I've lost 1 kilo in the last 24 hours.

Today is very similar to the end of the first stage in childbirth. (These stages can be summed up as (1)Labour (2)Push (3)Cut the cord.)

I practiced Bradley methods to get through child birth the natural way with my 2 boys. And in that book just before you make the big PUSH, as contractions are closely apart from one another and as the pain spikes up into your brain - you suddenly doubt if you can REALLY (x100) get through the whole naturelle process without any medical intervention.

And yes - I am in DOUBT right now!

I want to give up this whole detox diet. It's crazy! It's masochistic in nature! It's making me so weak and sleepy accompanied by headaches.

This afternoon, i fell for the temptation. The fruit basket sitting just behind my desk, didn't help! Plus the flavourful aroma of my workmates' lunches was beckoning my palates to run to the nearest gourmet takeaway. What a pity! I really did feel sorry for myself that I grabbed a banana and chowed it quickly!

After an hour, I was vomiting heavily. I kept stepping out of the office either to take some power nap in the car or just walk for some fresh air. It helped but I was already too weak from vomiting.

I dreaded to take even a sip of this herbal drink.

Tonight I declared that I'm giving up detoxifying my body any further. I think it's best to start it on a Friday. Then you have Saturday and Sunday to get through the "healing crises". Then, by Monday, you're body is more or less used to having no solids at all.

I guess the quest isn't really over yet. I just need to find a weekend that I wouldn't have to do my groceries or wouldn't have to go to an eating binge party. After all, detoxification of the body should really be done twice a year.

I'm now making my way to "breaking my fast".

Detox Day 1

I've finished my Atkins Induction two months ago and I've tried to be on low carb diet ever since. I was also combining it with Callenetics exercise to tone my arms and thighs and give that waist a little trim because current fashion dictates that belts are now worn up on the waist again!

But the month of May proved to be filled with festivities and it was just too hard to resist the delicious banquet. I may have added a few pounds again but I dare not check it.

So I can shed the unwanted fats and maybe start anew the habit of healthy eating, I'm going cold turkey and will fast this time. For the next 4 or 5 days my only source of nourishment is this herbal concentrate mixed with water and added with fresh lemon juice. It's called Lemon Detox.

Watch this space for daily updates as I wash off the toxins from my body.
