Quotes: All That Matters Is To Eat Healthy And…
You're beautiful. Don't look at those stupid magazines with stick-like models. Eat healthy and exercise. Be you. Don't let anyone tell you you're not good enough. Love your family with all your heart . Follow your instincts, they're usually right. You are gorgeous, whether you're a size 2 or 14. It doesn't matter what you look like on the outside, as long as you're a good person; as long as you respect others. You are your own person, don't let yourself compare yourself to anyone. You don't need that. Believe in yourself, you're all you've got.
I know it's been told hundreds of times before, but it's true.
...because we all need words of motivation sometimes.
Hello, Hello?
It puts a smile on my face when I get emails from readers of my blog because I always wonder why people seldom comment on my posts. I appreciate that at least some people are thoughtful enough to send me a personal note 
If you enjoy reading my blog, show me some love by leaving a comment on my posts!

Have you ever been alone at home and sometimes hear strange sounds coming from the living room and you know that there's no one else at home but you? Do you attempt to drown out the sounds with music but can't help but put it on mute when you hear it getting louder? When you do actually stop to listen, it's all silent. Is it just in your head? I have to admit, I've been more paranoid since I saw that movie 'Paranormal Activity'. It wasn't super shocking, I didn't even scream when I saw the movie, it's not like one of those cheap horror movies where they scare you with build-up music and sound effect. But the whole concept and ending of the movie really made me wonder if there really is something else out there. THINGS happening when I'm sound asleep. Creepy. Very, very creepy.
This movie made me more paranoid at night. Thanks, Spielberg.
FYI, did you know that this movie cost $11,000 to make but already made more than $88 million since it came out a few weeks ago?
Can’t Do Anything About Being Fat…
In my previous post (titled 'Too Fat To Fly'), I talked about how being overweight is a choice and some people debated the fact; that some people may simply be fat because of uncontrollable forces such as glandular problems and genetics.
*I would like to address this topic head on just so that I can set the record straight*
It is not my intention to offend anyone and yes, I do have family members who are sick and overweight...
My grandmother has diabetes and her feet are so swollen that she can't walk and has to use the wheelchair.
So yes, this is also a personal issue and deeply heartbreaking to see/know someone going through this.
I wished that nobody in the world has to go through something like that.
Yes, your genetics play a part in your overall weight but it is most certainly NOT the cause of gross ‘overweightness’. Even if being fat is caused by genetics, it is possible to lose weight by eating the right amount of healthy foods, increasing daily activities and exercising.
Other people have also mentioned that the reason why some people can’t do anything about being obese because they have glandular problems. A simple blood test can confirm or refute this claim almost immediately. There are treatments that can reverse an underactive gland, which almost cures this problem entirely.
No, you don't have to live with that body.
Yes, YOU make that choice.
Are you going take control of your body or let your body take control of you?
Which brings me to another factor involving this issue: THE FOOD THAT WE EAT TODAY.
Nobody would disagree with the statement - that nutrition is one of the most important factors that we need to keep in check of to maintain the wellness of our body.
But with the booming worldwide population and high demands for food, it is obvious that why we are not getting enough healthy, nutritious food – because cheap food tastes better and so much easier to obtain!
Many food companies realize that you need food every day, and play with the fact that there are two driving forces that cause you to choose the food you eat. It is based on PRICE and TASTE, NOT NUTRITION and HEALTH.
These food companies give an illusion of cheap food selling you highly tasty treats at prices of $1-$10 a meal. These various junk foods contain almost zero nutritional value and are filled with unhealthy chemicals and antibiotics that are extremely bad for you.
Hey, a packet of instant noodles and/or a cheeseburger from any fast food joint costs less than making a salad and far more fulfilling!
Sure, you may think you’re saving money eating out all the time and spending less than $5 on a full meal instead of $10 on groceries but overtime, you will only realize you’re paying your dues with medical bills.
One of the major causes of thyroid gland problems is due to the lack of nutrition you may be consuming in your food. We cannot simply put the blame on genetics and glandular problems; it is also the food that we eat today. However, I understand that not all of us have the freedom to choose what want to eat - for others, it is what they can afford.
How do you think the world will change effectively if organic food is cheaper than fast food?
Too Fat To Fly
Reports about a woman who was refused to board a plane because she was "too fat" were fake.
Newspaper La Repubblica reported Anna Delluci was suing budget airline EasyJet after the check-in flight told her she would have to buy two tickets.
The newspaper said before the Bari to Rome flight, the 55-year-old Ms Delluci was told to step on to scales in front of other surprised passengers - which she refused.
"I'm sorry, but you're too fat, and if you want to fly with us, you have to buy two tickets," check-in were alleged to have told the 98kg passenger.
But a day after the report surfaces, EasyJet confirmed the story was a hoax.
The airline said following an investigation they discovered the incident did not in fact occur and was a hoax story reported to the media by member of the public.
"EasyJet's policy regarding larger passengers is to recommend that if they feel they will need more than one seat, to purchase one," the airline said in a statement.
"However we do not require them to do so this is a recommendation for their own comfort."
* * * * *
While this story was reported to be a hoax, a true incident has happened before where a "Man was forced to buy an extra seat on Southwest flight".
“And the lady stops and says, ‘Sir, you need to have another ticket.’ And I said what for and she said, ‘because of your size.’”
While some may think it's not right to discriminate against fat people or humiliate them this way, is it wrong or selfish of others to say that it is only fair?
I have to pay extra for an 'overweight' luggage all the time when I travel overseas (even if it's a mere 10kg over the limit) while other o v e r w e i g h t passengers get on the flight without a hitch.
Being overweight is a choice, it is never just a disability one has to live with.
If you spend extra money on upsizing your meal and buying food in bulk, why should you feel outraged by the fact that you also need to upsize your flight seat?
B i g g e r is better, isn't it?
Reason Being…
"We spend our whole lives telling ourselves everything happens for a reason.
When in reality, it's just that we give reason for everything that happens."

Crazy huh?
Random.
Has anyone tried this out yet?
Mars has introduced their first candy bar in 20 years and they call this one "The Fling."
Has anyone tried it out or seen it in stores anywhere here in Singapore?
85 Calories? I guess I can afford that on my cheat day! Mmmm....

Feliz Día de las Madres
When you're around, most of the time all I want is to be alone. I can't help it, I was brought up that way. I remember when you used to tap me to sleep before leaving to work. I'd fall asleep because I knew you were around but I always know when you leave the front door even though you try to gently close it. I don't remember if I've cried when I'm left alone at home but I never failed to keep myself occupied. I'd stay in the living room because I felt that it was the most safest place in the house, and plus, I'll see you step in the second you get home from work. On your days off, you'd make breakfast for me the way I liked it - sunny side up - so I could fill the spoon with the liquid-ish egg yolk. I loved it.
In school I didn't have alot of friends. That didn't bother me though because I knew I had you even though sometimes you couldn't be there for me because of work. But I understood that it was all for my own good too. I must admit, I did just okay in school, maybe you had expected better, but no matter how bad I did, you'd always support me in everything I wanted to do. I'd hide things from you but it surprises me all the time when I realize that you are usually fine with it, had I told it to you.
You made me learn how to overcome my loneliness and fears and be independent. You've always supported me in everything I do, allowed me to go anywhere I wanted to go even though that means we will be apart and I love you. There's way too much for me to write and describe in words how much I do, but I know you know. Everything that I am is mostly because of you and your support. All I want is for you to keep smiling. You know you have the most luscious lips I sadly didn't get 
and perfect teeth I had to get braces for. I Love You Mum.
- written 2 years ago when I was living in the States, away from Mummy.
P.S.: I had chosen to write this because it makes me happy to see her photo here. My family and my life is very personal to me and I'd appreciate it if everyone would just understand to just leave it alone and keep the questions and comments regarding my personal life to yourself.
