Verdict on the Subway Diet: Failed!

I keep on failing on my diets, grrr… I might as well start my weight lifting sessions this weekend since my ophthalmologist had given me the go-signal. It would have been more beneficial if it was a 3 times a week workout but given the time constraints, I’d rather have enough sleep or else I’d act like a zombie at work :p

The Subway Diet: Will this last?

My co-worker and I decided to join the diet craze and we decided on the Subway diet. I’m currently overweight/obese and he just wants to have washboard abs. The sandwiches are pricey so we usually order the sub of the day. I usually buy 2 sandwiches for lunch and dinner. We planned to do the subway diet every weekdays and on weekends, well, we hope to minimize our food intake We started doing this diet on Monday and the only complaint we have is that the servings are quite small compared to what we used to eat so we really do get extremely hungry and drained easily. The sandwiches really taste great and fresh even without the dressing

There’s no significant weight loss for the first few days but my cystic acne dried up upon starting this diet. If this keeps up, I don’t have to go to the Ob-gyne to check if I suffer from PCOS and also, I don’t need to visit my dermatologist

I’d try to see if this diet would last so that I could lose a lot of weight, just like the Subway Guy I would also go back to my weight lifting sessions to complement on this diet.

Hunt for a new makeup

After using BB creams on my previous post, a lot of cystic acne cropped up. I am currently waiting for them to heal while using multiple organic soaps (tomato, black pearl, papaya goat’s milk, rice bran and shea butter) from Cyleina. So far they’re drying up although the scars are pretty scary to look at

I’m thinking of using mineral makeup from Ellana once my acne clears up

Joining in the BB Cream Craze!

I used to hate make-up: Either they’re too itchy or it takes quite a while to do regular make-up. But for BB creams, I got hooked! It all started when I was reading several posts from GirlTalk. After that, I was convinced to buy blemish balm creams from Joeanne’s The Little Cool Shop. BB creams are pretty popular in Korea, reputed to make your skin more beautiful and provide good coverage while wearing make-up.

For oily/acne prone skin, Joeanne advised me to use the following products:
[1] Missha Watery
[2] BRTC Perfect Recover Balm
[3] Dr. Jart Silver Rejuvenating BB Cream
[4] Lioele Beyond Solution BB Cream

I bought a sample of BRTC Perfect Recover Balm and a tube of Dr. Jart Silver Rejuvenating BB Cream. For my primer, I use Skinfood Peach Sake T-zone Block Gel. The reason I use a primer is because I sweat a lot and my face is an oil mine.

So far, people say I look better when I use BB creams. It covers up huge pores and my zits/scars look less visible. I also didn’t have any breakouts or allergic reactions while using BB creams as well. But I noticed that I need to use loose powder, I’ll probably purchase one real soon.

Holy cow! It’s 2009! :o

My last post was on September 2008, I can’t believe I keep on neglecting my blog I was planning to put up with my experiments for my acne prone face but I still keep on stalling, eep!

I’m glad that I have successfully displayed the plugins for Flickr and Plurk. I kept on editing the codes until I realized I can simply edit the settings in the Widget’s section! Yay!

Macho woman

After losing the badminton tournament from our company sportsfest today, I decided to ride a taxi on my way home. The taxi was in such a bad shape that it stopped a couple of times in the middle of the road and it was my first time to push the taxi from behind for 4 times til I heard a loud bang from the engine, in which case I gave up and I rode on a jeepney instead.

When you’re wondering why I was so nice to push the taxi behind, it is because the driver is so old, I sometimes ask myself why I should always be nice to other people and not to myself

Plurk Addiction & Cute stuff at Deadcraft

I have been neglecting all my online accounts for Plurk. It is a fun way to keep in touch with all your far-away friends and every time you post, you can increase your karma so that more features will be available to your account.

On a side note, I just love Rin’s crochet stuff at Deadcraft. Her designs are so adorable, you guys might want to check it out

Crushness

When I was still a kid, I used to have a lot of crushes. My top 4 major crushes were Fritz, Celzo, Mr. Close Up (Erm, I forgot his name but oh boy, his smile was the best) and Mike. Minor crushes were: Yukie, Mark Vincent, Rogie… That is all I can think of right now

As I grew up, I got less crushes and currently, I only have 2 major crushes with no minor crushes: JM & Mr. Oh-so-cute-with-dimples. I can’t help but feel giddy whenever I see them and I feel like a little kid all over again )

Not to forget, I got heartbroken a few times as well. A certain guy told me he loved me but took it back. And I courted a supposedly nice guy, but it turned out that he was a jerk and he couldn’t even tell me that he didn’t like me back and that really hurt a lot
