I make no sense that women spends half of their lifetime minding what they eat and trying to keep their weight in control.

Then for every 2 weeks in a month, they think nothing but of food, food and food and they can’t help but stuff their faces with food because even in their sleep they dream of sushi, spaghetti, ice cream and steaks!

I feel like Garfield minus the whiskers!

Then when the hormone settles down it’s back to dieting to lose the 2 weeks of “sushi, spaghetti, ice cream and steaks” flab.

It’s a never-ending vicious cycle.

I wish Eve never ate the apple. FHL.

The dog catchers was here just a while ago. My dogs went berserk! They caught my neighbor’s rottweiler even though my neighbor was standing there asking them not to. The dog didn’t have a license so they have the right to catch it.

I need to renew my dogs’ license too. I wonder what good it’ll do though. These people would do anything for money.

The health of the American’s economy has yet to fully recover from the economic shock that left the country in recession, dollar currency became fragile, giant corporations bankrupt and the people unemployed and in heavy debts. Yes, when a country suffers from a financial crisis the people gets hit really hard.

In addition to the debts (credit card debts, mortgage repayment, car loan repayment, etc) there are the mounting interest fees and late fees which makes it a never-ending nightmare. It’s not an easy task taking care of a family with mouths to feed and household debts to repay in this unstable economy. It’s even harder for business owners to get a loan these days – approving Business Loans to small business owners with probable risk of their companies going bankrupt during the economic upheaval is not in the loaners list of priority.

In this situation, the smarter move is to consolidate your debts to get a lower combined interest fees and improve your credit rating. You could easily get unsecured loans or Personal Loans and even business loans with no obligation loan decisions which mean you can use the loan to repay your debts.

Start by engaging a well established and trusted loan consulting firm which provides Loans Online which means less processing fees and no hidden commissions and charges. Discuss with the expert how best it is to handle your problem and lay down on the table the options you have. You will be able to manage to your debt easily in no time at all.

For my birthday 2 weeks ago, we were at Frontera Bar & Grill for a quick lunch. The food was great and the company awesome.

At Frontera

I wore my new favorite T-shirt i bought from Discovery Mall in Bali.

He just farted ->

Who let off a stink bomb???!!

Hahahaha. I love this Mangoesteen t-shirt so much. I don’t think the boyfriend liked it much thought LOL.

Smell it?

Don’t mind the shaggy hair and the dark, dirty skin, we just came back from Bali and i’m slapping moisturizer by the volume now .

… what’s it like to be 28… hmmm… what’s it like to be 28??

Wiser, bolder, stronger and happier. That’s what it’s like to be 28. Yeah definitely.

I recall a time when i was really unhappy with my life. I was frustrated with my job, i was afraid of disappointing my family, i was terrified of ending up alone.

I was timid, unsure of myself and i like to compare. I secretly compared friends’ salaries to mine, i compared boyfriends, i compared jobs, i compared social lives. I care so much about what others think about me.

I felt pathetic and envious of those better than me. All those pent up emotions made me not a very happy person.

Now, when i think of it i find it utterly amusing. Why the hell was i wasting my time with something to relatively meaningless?

I know it sounds cliché, but i rather think that hitting 30 soon is the best thing that’s going to to happen to me. Not that i’m 30 yet, but when i hit 28 last week i was feeling pretty terrific.

Never mind that i was on top of Mount Batur on my birthday, i felt i was on top of the world.

I no longer give a damn of what people think or say. Well, less anyways.

No worries, i still give a damn about this .

I am more health conscious and i am taking care of myself. I pamper myself occasionally because i know i darn well deserve it.

I know when to take a break and have a kit-kat. I learned to love myself more everyday.

I’m more adventurous and sure of myself. Of course i still have self-doubts and bad days but now i know bad days would pass so it isn’t so bad.

I save more money and make wiser decisions. Some i think wise but the boyfriend think not but i don’t give a damn and that makes a lot of difference. Haha.

I am happy and contented with my current relationship. We quarrel less about petty, insignificant little things. We have mutual understanding about almost everything in life.

I am happy with the few friends that i have left. It’s not about how many friends you have but how many that will stick with you through thick and thin.

People use to tell me when i’m younger not to worry because everything has a solution. Every cloud has a silver lining they tell me. Now i’m beginning to believe.

Right now, i’m contented just for having someone love me, for having my family around, having my dogs around and of course for having people respect me just for being older at 28.

Short of the wrinkles and flabs, i am pretty looking forward to hitting 30 in two years time.

That statement… surprised even me.

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Charter. All opinions are 100% mine.

Fans of sitcoms will understand my predicament. It’s so difficult to actually follow the whole season of my favorite shows like Grey’s Anatomy, Desperate Housewife and NCIS on TV because sometimes i’m back late from work, other times even when i’m back at home i am too tired so i end up sleeping halfway through the show.

It’s really frustrating since i’m such a big fan of the shows and when i couldn’t catch what’s going on because i missed the previous episodes, i will be in a bad mood!

I can imagine how it is with kids. My nephew will scream and throw tantrums whenever he can’t watch Spongebob. It’s a nightmare.

With Charter digital On Demand however, this is not a problem. You can watch all the shows you want online for free! There are over 6,000 movies and shows to choose from and best of all you don’t have to worry that you’ll miss the slot because you can watch them anytime at Charter digital On Demand. They even have wide selections of HD shows.

Now i can actually take my own sweet time with the NCIS episodes. There are so many that i have missed out on. No more pressure to rush back home just to catch an episode. Hurray!

I know my nephew and aunt will love this service. My aunt can finally be in peace and my nephew can enjoy Spongebob for as long as he like.

Ok, we haven’t return the DSLR we borrowed. I half wish we don’t need to return it LOL.

I wanted so much to capture my dogs’ photos using the camera but really super fail man… .

It’s so difficult to take photos of them when they can’t stay still.

Kobe was either sleeping or running about amok in the house, Pou was afraid to move at all, so most of the shots i’ve taken of her was with the same pose and Doodle kept nudging the camera lens – she think it’s edible or something. Sigh…

These are the only ok photos so far. As in not blurry hahaha.

This is super cute – kobe kept yawning.

And this…. this… is priceless hahahaha the face damn duh like that.

Pou pou just woke up from her afternoon nap.

The only decent photo of Doodle without the face smudging the lens haha.

I have a new found respect for animal photographers. Not only do they need the skill and abundance of patience (god knows how long you have to wait for the right moment), they need to be animal trainers too T_T.

Woot! I’m back from Bali. It was good fun but i had not expected the price of stuff there to be similar to Malaysia.

We arrive there millionaires (in rupiah of course) but came back a pauper LOL. Didn’t even have enough money to get a decent McD meal at the airport fml, so we had to resort to instant noodle on board the plane which thank god could be paid with Malaysian ringgit.

Right now i’m composing the many photos we took with the borrowed DSLR. Yes, we borrowed the camera from the boyfriend’s boss one day before we left for Bali. We were being so smug and so sure of ourselves that we didn’t even practice or tinkered with the camera settings. So being DSLR virgins and all, most of the photos ended up blurry or off angle hahaha!

I have to admit that DSLR is really handy. It snaps photos really quick and the detail it captures is awesome. I’m beginning to understand why people prefer it to normal digital camera. However, i’m not going to jump on the bandwagon and get myself a DSLR because it’s kind of a pain to carry around something so bulky all the time.

But i’m definitely going to miss it come this Monday when we return the camera and i’m back to taking dull photos with my digi cam

So as i was saying, the things in Bali aren’t as cheap as i thought it would be and there wasn’t lots of variety in Kuta. Every stall is selling the same stuff which didn’t appeal to us. Ubud was better because there were more choices and the prices are definitely lower.

There were loads of crafts selling at the Ubud market. I liked the rattan baskets a lot but decided not to get them because they were huge and i haven’t got the slightest idea what to do with them when we get them back to Malaysia. I’ll fly to Bali to get the baskets and other wooden decorative for the future house next time

Mini basket

I got this instead in a shop in Kuta area. To keep my earrings .

It’s really funny that we went all the way to Bali thinking of getting some nice and cheap stuff but we ended up shopping at Discovery Mall which is equivalent with the malls we have at home.

Here’s the merchandises i bought for myself which i absolutely adore.

I just realize from looking at this photo that they are color coordinated!

Shopping goodies

The “He Just Farted” t-shirt is like so cute. I heart!

It’s now my favorite top. The back of the t-shirt says “Smell it?” Hahahaha. Poor boyfriend, people keep pointing and laughing at him in public now LOL.

My fav t-shirt!

Yeah, and i finally bought a Coach bag!!! Well, technically the boyfriend paid for it – it’s a birthday gift and i’m loving it.

I’m loving it!

See my satisfied and contented face?

Coach Sabrina Madison 12937 in ROSE

Of all the places i succumbed to my obsession at the Denpasar airport. I couldn’t help it once i saw the rose pink design.

It’s about RM200 less than retail price in KL so that makes me feel less guilty .

But now we are staying home on weekends and trying to spend less to cover our bills and make up for splurging on our future-home-fund… and start thinking about the next trip to somewhere LOL.
