Dashing to the Great and Happy

My appetite has been growing and growing lately, that my officemates seemed to have noticed it too.

One time was when we threw a baby shower for Rhea at Amici, in which I kept asking from the other side of the table to "please pass" me the seafood pasta, the tutta carne and the other dishes from their side. And on and on I tasted and munched, quietly devouring the elements piled on my plate, as they talked about motherhood and wifeydom.

... must be because I have no experience to share to the table, that I gladly resolved my spot on the far right corner -- the girl with the healthy appetite -- eating with much gusto with every bite.

The other time was just two days after, when I attended Cathy's wedding, and the mango sago was served almost at the same time as the chinese noodles... so when everyone else at the table was diving into the sweet dessert, ignoring the "pancit", I decided that I was at least going to give the noodles the attention it deserved.

After eating the noodles, Bett's boyfriend -- yes, the one with high-level testosterone who was supposed to be downing more carbs than yours truly -- asked " Joy, masarap ba yung pancit?" Siya pa talaga ang nagtanong dba? haha! To which I nodded with "Oo," then moved next to my mango sago.

A growing girl, most definitely. And the worrisome part about it is that my gym voucher has already expired two months ago. Sooooo.... exercise is beckoning me! And regular doses of it.

Okay, duly noted, world! So that's why I am contemplating in joining Race for Life! Ta-daaaan! If ever, this will be my first time to join this annual event and my second time to do a fun run.

The first time was when I signed up for Nature Valley's fun run around 3 years ago (I think) for 10km! Lol! I am so courageous sometimes it's bordering on craziness. There was seriously a moment when I had to ask myself if I can still make it to the next km, and that moment was when I just finished the 1km, so there were 9km more to go! Hahaha!

But I managed to finish it, yaaaaay! And it was a great feeling! So match that with the feeling of helping others make it to their dreams and you got yourself 10x greater and happier feeling -- Race for Life :)

So hope to see you there! I hope to see myself there too! (Ms. Willpower, please win over Mr. Laziness!)

So You Had a Bad Day

Last Friday, I caught myself getting irritated by the second as I get one bad update after the next at work - confirming either low performance for the month or delay in our campaign activities. I just wanted nothing more but to call it a day and go home...  But since that wasn't an option, I just watched a movie (yup on my own :P) and stuffed my mouth with Taters potato chips (cheese flavor!) and Jamaican pattie (cheesy beef!) later that afternoon. Yup, that made me feel a little better after! We all go through this kind of day, and so soon after ringing in the new year with our hopes and goals too!  Tsktsk! So as I dragged myself to take on the hours that day, I knew that I had to snap out of it and be wary, lest I find myself stuck in the limbo of the daily activities.

Getting Beach-Ready with Wink!

Beach! That is what my mind seems to be saying these days, and on Friday we will be flying to a much-loved beach in Visayas (more about that soon). Finally! The sun and the seas! :D But before we don our swimwear and flip-flops, my friend and I made sure to get our skin beach-ready first. So just last Saturday, we went to Wink Laser & Wax Studio to get our waxing fix. We both have had experience in waxing, shaving and plucking so I think it was a great way to try what Wink has to offer differently in the market. Because we already have something to compare it with, we hope to bring something that will break it down into specifics, not just with the service but with the products and the  ambiance  as well. Hygiene is number 1 One thing worth remembering about Wink is its priority on cleanliness. Holly Chang, the young entrepreneur behind this budding business, is a self-proclaimed OC. And it shows the moment you enter one of the rooms. The s...

Japan: Lit Gardens & Shrines in Kyoto + Japan Travel Tips

On our 3rd day, we went to Kyoto! We bought a one-day Keihan railway pass since Kyoto is about an hour away from Osaka. There are different ways to get to Kyoto but the cheapest and fastest is by train. Taxis are very expensive in Japan! Buses and trains are just about the same price so you can plot your way to this famous spot either way. Fushimi Inari Shrine
