Chinese New Year Goodies

Chinese New Year’s goodies started coming for me and Chloe from all over the world. Friends from United States, Montreal, Toronto and all the way from Australia – came for us – the last 2 weeks and I haven’t had the chance to post it up on my food blog – but I’ve started stuffing my face with them of course. Chloe doesn’t know how to enjoy it yet – and PB – he wanted me to have more of them – so that I can get my fill and don’t feel so home sick. I thought no one makes these pineapple tarts that my mom makes but I was wrong – someone did and it looks almost like the ones my mom bakes every year during Chinese New Year when I was a kid. These pineapple tarts are so good – they are very expensive – so I’m eating them slowly and enjoying every bit of it. I already got some weight loss pills because I know I’m going to put on so much weight – from all the goodies that I’ve received. But hell if anything is going to stop me from eating them! hahah!

That Fat Chick

I know of someone personally with a real weight loss story which I find very inspiring. Every week, I would read her blog to see how much weight she lost – and she went from 330 Ibs to 164 Ibs within a year. Of course, she had a gastric bypass – but she also did her exercises – and walk a lot and started eating different too. It is definitely inspiring – and if she can do it – so can I – fo I’m not even her present weight at the moment – but am trying to lose some weight – so that I can have more energy and because being a diabetic – i need to keep my weight under a certain number. I wanted to share this with those who are struggling with their weight – so if my friend can do it – so can you – there is hope. I do find stories like this one – very inspiring for someone like myself – who have been trying to lose weight the safest way.

My Weight & I

So February is round the corner – already one month into the new year – and i still haven’t started on my exercise again. First I was too busy – then I got sick – and of course the store was busy and during Christmas – I received lots of goodies from home – so I had to stuff my face with it. Well, you get the idea eh? With Chinese New Year around the corner and more dinners to go to – with Chinese friends from here – you know what I need right? yes ! a lot of help from the latest diet pills that would work quick and not expensive but most importantly safe. The reason why I say this is because – Chloe was lying on my tummy this evening watching tv – and she said and I quote ” oh mom! i’m glad you haven’t exercise yet – your tummy is so comfffffyyyy!!!” – so you get the picture eh? round tummy – like a fluffy pillow. So yes! diet & exercise – here I come! I better!

Off Season Shopping

I never used to shop only when things are at a good price till the spouse owned a business and of course after having a child. Both comes with great responsibility and both requires that I become sensible and look out for deals when I buy stuff. Of course, that doesn’t mean that I short change myself with the quality of the things I buy – so I buy things that are off season. Like now – the spring stuff are out and men’s running shorts are what I should be buying for the spouse – but instead I would buy the winter leftover now and wait till summer before I buy the running shorts for him. That way I know that I will still be getting the same shorts but at a better deal – in fact – because of the better deal – I usually buy more than 1. Same with Chloe’s clothing – now her snow pants are like 50% off – and I buy a size bigger for next year – and same with her Christmas dresses. What about you? do you do the same ? or am I the only cheap charlie?

Winter Skin

I’m in the middle of winter and my forehead feels funny – a bit painful but not that bad – so i touched my forehead and realized that I have bumps coming outta my head – I am having pimples!!! and also my forehead feels wrinkly! i panic and asked my spouse to look for the best forehead wrinkle cream for me and I have to stop eating chilli sauce and anything spicy – I guess my body is trying to tell me something. On the other head – I’m already 45 – so wrinkles are to be expected and I know i can’t get rid of them – but at least – I can try and lighten it. My mom used to say – one has gotta admit that one needs help – when you are this old – wise old mom.

More Me & Chloe Time

Every year during this time – I would be in a frenzy to get out all the gifts if not before Christmas – it would be around now – and even if I am late – I would still get the presents out – and then I would feel like I’ve done right by the rest of the world. But this year – after what happened to PB’s nephew Nick, I literally stopped and thought about what I should honestly do for myself and Chloe. All these years – I’ve been so involved in so many things around me – that I’ve forgotten what is most important – Chloe. Isn’t it the most important to put Chloe and PB first? making money is important and keeping friends and relative happy are also important – but ultimately, the most important people in my life is Chloe and PB right?

So if I haven’t been online or on FB or slow with the movies – in the next few months or year – please know that I have a commitment to my family first – to Chloe and PB first. I’m grateful to so many people who have given me space – and given me time – to do the right thing by Chloe especially. I have taken time to take care of myself first this year after i started on my anxiety pills. So for the new year – I’m going to slow down on my online stuff – and concentrate of nurturing chloe and my health – and I trust my friends will understand.

Sending Christmas Presents Home

For those who are away home – I’m sure you’ve already mailed out all the Christmas presents that you want to send home. If not – you better hurry – I don’t think you have very much time left. I had an easy time getting presents for my family back home – one of my brothers – love wrestling, and wrestlers – anything to do with wrestling – he is into big time. So I bought him some wresting t-shirts, wrestling tapes and wrestling caps and his favorite wrestler figurine. His was the easiest to get to be honest – don’t you just love the internet! On the same note – I’ve bought stuff online for Christmas – it makes life so much easier for me – what about you ? how did you make out with your Christmas shopping?

Christmas Shopping

Christmas shopping is almost impossible for us – because we own our own business and have a kid – and we have very limited time – so we resort to doing our shopping online. Not only is it convenient – most places like when you buy apple bottom, one can get free shipping! awesome right. How are you making out with your Christmas shopping? like I said – PB always waits to the last minute – as for me – I shop smart – i buy all my friends and families online – that way they will get their presents on time every time. And no hassle with buying online because if it doesn’t fit or for any reason they are not suitable – most places return policy is not only good – they give you a label to ship back to them for free. Super awesome to shop online!

Hormonal Acne

I do believe in hormonal acne when the niece spoke with me about it the other day – because before i had my hysterectomy – I usually get mine when I was going to have my menses – and it was like clockwork. The acne and pimples start popping out and then the flow starts. There are hormonal acne treatments for people like myself and I wished I had known about this earlier – because then I don’t have to waste my money buying things that doesn’t work. So I am recommending hormonal acne treatments to anyone who has the same problem as I and regain their confidence back immediately and no more wasting of your money.
