Galing mo Manny!!!! Mabuhay Ka!

Hello Red Alert! I missed you.

After 2 and a half months, finally, my red alert is back. Just two years ago when I started noticing that my n0t-s0-normal menstrual cycle came from a monthly visit slowly dwindled to every 2 months to every 4 months.

My first visit this year was last April 20-24 (my birthday week), second visit was August 22-25. Now, I'm just so glad the wait time went down to 2 and a half months. That explains the heavy feeling I've been having for a couple of days. I kinda miss the feeling actually and I'm looking forward to a more considerably stable menstrual cycle.

Perhaps my weight gain was the culprit as I mentioned in my last blog I had stopped eating too much and started eating healthy food. A small portion of everything also helped me a lot. I'm hoping to normalize my menstrual cycle in a few months with the help of regular exercise and diet. I'm hoping this new habit would help me get pregnant, lol, I hope.

Once I get a new cam (my old one is damaged because of Ondoy), I'll post the before and after pics so I would know that it's really worth it.

Vain? Me?

After several years of forgetting myself, almost literally, I'm finally trying to go back to my old somewhat Kikay self. I'm just about close to curing my acnes, yes people, too many acnes from years of eating the wrong food, not watching my diet and too much exposure to sun's UV rays. Slowly but surely my acnes are leaving my not-so-lovely face with the help of RDL #3.

Last week I finally decided to watch what I eat and try to lose a lot of pounds, when I say a lot, I mean a lot. The last time I checked my weight before I got married, I was at 135-140 lbs, I was chubby, yes, but not obese, from my POV. That was my ideal weight considering I have big bone structure. Just months back I was at 210 lbs, it scared me to death yet took me months to finally realize that health wise it's not good for me.

You see, my side of the family has history of diabetes, an aunt of mine even got amputated because of diabetes, and even my mom has been taking medication and have been watching her diet because she's nearing the verge of having normal blood sugar. And now that I'm about to set to foot to being 30 next year I know it's gonna be difficult for me to lose these extra extra pounds pretty soon.

Apart from watching my food intake I also try to burn these extra extra fats by walking my dog every afternoon. I don't think I'm capable of jogging yet because of my weight.

Also, apart from watching my diet, I'm also beautifying myself and started taking care of my face and skin. Back in my younger days I'm not the type who'll instantly believe in TV commercials for whitening and anti aging. But come to think of it, I'm not doing it just so others would notice me, I'm doing it to make me feel good and happy. So, just last week I started cleaning my face regularly with the help of Pond's and RDL#3 and powder every so often. For my dark skin, I use Block and White whitening soap and lotion atleast twice a day.

I'm hoping to see these expected changes before Christmas and I'm hoping that I can keep this habit forever, it's not a sin being vain sometimes.
