I gained a LOT of weight!

December 15, 2008

I was shocked and dismayed to see my present weight as I stepped on the scale at the department store yesterday. Imagine gaining 4 kilos! I am so disappointed with myself. :( Sometimes I would consider taking over-the-counter weight loss pills just to get back to my previous weight, but I still would like to be fit and healthy the natural way with eating the right food and regular exercise. Now all it needs is a LOT of focus and self-discipline, these you can’t buy anywhere though, it really has to start within.

Gifts for guys?

My Christmas shopping is about 80% done. Thankfully I was able to buy gifts for Dad, Uncle, Rv, and Rj. Note that they’re all guys (and boys) who usually dream of those flashy racing cars with high-tech performance parts or having the latest gadget.

I was glad to find a nice shirt for uncle and it was really a good buy. My gift for Dad took a while though, since he was with me shopping and I asked him to choose a shirt. He had about two brand choices and tried about five shirts on before we finally decided on the light green with stripes.

Oh well, shopping for guys can’t be that fast as you usually think it is. But maybe if it were something for the van or some carpentry tools, then the choosing could have been faster.
