HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

I am one of the many people who have encountered the best of 2011. I am so blessed with so many things, and I thank God for that.

December has been a hectic month. The first two weeks was all about work and then Christmas break. Lots of gatherings and preparations for the holidays. So let me give you a recap of my December.

Dec. 16, 2011 - Attended Rey & Sarah wedding at St. Joseph the Worker Church.
Sarah was my office mate before - she's a good friend and I wouldn't want to miss her big day. Here's a photo of us together with some of our friends.

Dec. 25, 2011 - Christmas Day! Lunch at Hec's residence with his family. His sister's hubby cooked lunch for us. The food was delish! Hope I could grab some pics from his sister whenever she upload them. These are the only photos I took:

Then went to SM City for coffee and bought some stuff.

Hec went back to Pampanga on Dec. 28. I was a sad, and so was he. He always wanted to spend the New Year with his family though.

Dec. 29, 2011 - Catch up time with Kristiane. She just came back home from Manila. Glad we had a time to bond before the year ends.

 Coffee time at Amular Photography Studio + Cafe

 Plazuela

Bumped into Glaiza at SM City. 

So, that's a recap hehehe. Christmas was lovelier than expected. ;)

I wish everyone a Happy New Year! Hope you all have a fantastic 2012! Cheers!

I love to eat, but I hate gaining weight. when I was in my 20s, my weight was normal. I remember having a 25 inch waist line. Then I started gaining weight since I started working as a call center representative. So, even if I eat a little, I gain weight fast. That's really a problem. I've never been obsessed about being thin.

Here's what - I started worrying about my weight when I came back home in Iloilo from Pampanga. I stayed there with the bf from April-August 6, 2011. We often go out to eat lunch or dinner, or sometimes I cook at home. So whenever there are leftover meals or rice, I store them and eat or cook it again the next day. Plus, my work consists more of sitting, facing the computer and eat.

So when I arrived home, everyone was like in shock about my weight gain. LOL. So I started dieting for a month, but went back to Pampanga from October-November. My diet was ruined. I really lack self discipline.

And so, starting January 2012, I will start my diet again. Definitely not skipping meals. I must watch my carbs intake, eat more protein and stock up on yogurt.

I came back home in Iloilo yesterday, since I traveled light and had no luggage, I didn't go straight home yet and catch up with friends. I had a welcome dinner with them at Stavros and some drinks at Lamesa Grill Iloilo.

Here are a few photos:

I'm leaving Pampanga on Sunday so I already have prepared the stuff to be sent home in Iloilo.

Oh November! It's rainning, and I'm sad inside. You know the kind of "argh" day. I will be missing Hec, since I will be leaving him again. This would be my last Pampanga visit for this year. But he will be spending Christmas in Iloilo 'til December 28, I think.

We want to spend the New Year together here in Pampanga, but he said I must spend the New Year with my family and that he will be OK. I know he's sad about it too, but he's just trying to keep it from me. But we'll see, if I can get a cheap plane ticket for December, I might surprise-visit him. :)
