Behind the Camera

I was sorting through so many photos when I noticed something. I am rarely in the photos.

No, not because I always have acne, which incidentally, I have one that popped up a few days ago. Argh!

Almost always, I am the one taking photos and I tend to forget to ask one of the children to take a photo with me in it. I hope when the children are all grown up they won’t think I didn’t want to have photos taken with them 😀

Of Mannequins and Their Sizes

When we went window shopping last Saturday, the kids were laughing at a certain mannequin at one of the sports stores  we went to. My youngest daughter remarked that it was “ang laki ng muscles!” or “the muscles are big!” I looked at the guy mannequin and laughed too, for he looked like he had too much hgh supplements 😀

On second thought, the place was a sports store so a muscled mannequin wearing sports clothes is just fitting. In the clothes section, lady mannequins look like life-size barbie dolls and this does not represent the average woman’s size. Ahem, ahem.

I cringe when I see mannequins with big bosoms and ample hips. Do they really have to do that?

Fitness Regimen or the Lack of It

Saw a friend the other day and I was surprised at how much she lost weight. She talked about her quick weight loss program as well her strict  fitness regimen. Hmmm… it sure is fun to lose weight with buddies it seems.

I used to do morning walks/run two-three times a week but I have lost interest. I only got a play list to accompany me. I see a group of elders who also walk but since I do not know them I did not want to introduce myself to them so I could join them.

I told myself at the beginning of the year that I should step up the yoga that I have started last year but none of that happened. Yet.

At least the family and I do a  once a week walking/running habit. (like its enough huh?)

For now, I need to get up and do something about that slice of chocolate cake hubby and I shared a while ago 😀

A different idea: for those wanting to propose their love to their loved one can give this cake as a gift and a carrier of something else. Wouldn’t it be nice to see loose diamonds on a ring on top of the cake? 😀 Woot!

The Lovely Bones

I was looking for movies being shown the other day when I saw a title which intrigued me: “The Lovely Bones”

I looked for a synopsis and a trailer and I watched this in YouTube: The Lovely Bones

“My name is Salmon, like the fish. First name, Susie. i was fourteen years old when I was murdered on December 16th, 1973. I wasn’t gone. I was alive in my own perfect world. But in my heart, I knew it wasn’t perfect. My murderer still haunted me. My father had the pieces but he couldn’t make them fit. I waited for justice but justice did not come.”

Now I gotta read the book!

This is probably my kind of reading material which I would read than nose-bleeding on www.wholesaleinsurance.net with all its financial terminologies 😀

The book I’m sure is a tearjerker since the movie moved to me to tears  several times. Yes, I watched it last night with my hubby.
