I am taking this powder vitamins that really helped me decide to be healthy and loose weight. All I did is stay away from carbohydrate. I did not totally turn my back off carbs but I limit my intake. I mixed white and brown rice and also I only make potato dish once a week or twice a month.
At work I always bring my homemade lunches because it way more healthy than buying fast foods. I also got me healthy portion microwavable meals from the bulk store like lean cuisine, whole wheat bread for my sandwich, I also got me lettuce and rotisserie chicken for my salad. We eat more fruits and veggies and I successfully lost 5 lbs and my goal is to loose 20 so 15 more to go. The key to this is discipline and stay away from carbohydrates and sweets because your body will process carbs into sugar that will create fats.

My husband has a job project, to build a garage for his client. They want a two car garage; they will use it as garage and also a working area for them. They want it to be safe for them especially for their elderly parents who also live with them. The solution as my husband suggested to them is spray it with garage floor epoxy a slip resistant that you spray or coat over cement flooring. They love the finish product and happy about it.

Meet my "BUG". I was browsing at my picture files and found this one, this is the a test shot I took couple years ago using my point and shoot digicam. I was inspired by a guy who has devoted himself and his time in making miniature villages and putting his mini toys and buildings together. He is so amazing.

I have a friend who graduated last week and I have no idea of what to get her as a graduation gift. She is way younger than me although we were friends for long time now but I really don't know what to get her. As I ask my other friends for ideas and also I check online for graduation gift suggestions and found that she have an iPod and she might need an iPod nano to play her favorite songs while she is doing her running.

I just submitted my photo entry for costco, Good Luck to me. I am not hoping to win but it will truly help me learn to take best photos in the future and embrace photography even more. I will be the start for me to enter contest and to get more pictures inspired by this beautiful island. Here's another sneak peek of my entry, not the best but it means a lot to me.

I was so blown away with my cousin's wedding pictures. We are not able to attend her wedding because we already had vacation plans on their wedding date. She sent us some pictures, according to her they hired raleigh wedding photographer to do their prenuptial photos and so the wedding pictures. I surely recommend this company; they do weddings, family and commercial as well. I check on their portfolios and was amazed by their professionalism.

It does not mean when you know how to write a song you can be a singer! I know a person who is so proud that he had written 10 songs, he needs 2 more to compile a CD. He invited me to his link to listen and like the song that he wrote and sung. I did click the like button just for the sake that we're friends.
His don't have the voice of a singer although he can write songs, while listening I'm like "Oh GOD hope he will realized in his own that he couldn't sing. I'm having hard time understanding his lyrics cause he's like murmuring. Oh boy I wish people will know what they can and CAN'T do in life so they will not embarrass themselves.

Days flew by so fast and it's almost end of the year. I always prepare months ahead for certain occasions and for the next Valentine's Day I want to give away cute cards to my dear friends and close co-workers. I saw this cute Valentine Cards website with wide selections of designs. They're all cute that truly will make a person smile and feel them special. I have attached one cute sample above, go ahead and check them out.

I only have one blog running with one advertising company since the day I worked FT. I was so used on doing my task before due date, easy cause I only post one blog. Last week I noticed and was wondering why some task is saying error after I submit my task. I didn't realized until 3 days ago that it was for another blog. When I check on my profile there's a blog added which is not mine and my address was change! This is creepy because I have all my info there including my SSN and people can just change my address and add blogs if they want too? Until now I can't figure out whats going on, if it's accident or what. All I feel and know is "It's CREEPY." Did it happen to anyone?

We are having another grand baby from our only daughter, she will soon to have 3 kids. I told my husband that we need to give her a wooden swing set for the kids to play and entertain them after school. I want to give them the fantasy tree house model but as of the moment they're always moving every 2 years so it's not a wise idea to have big tree house. I wish the kids will enjoy it so much.

I found a new hobby, it's alteration. It started when I saw a beautiful plus size dress, I then went to the misses department and also at petites to hunt for it but to no luck. I bought the plus size dress and attempted a major alteration, sounds easy because what I need to do is trim the sleeve, saw 2-1/2 inches on each side and make the shoulder length fit me.
The plum dress fits me so well and I always get compliment every time I wear it. Since then I got hooked, I buy cheap big size dresses, blouses or cover-up shells and do my own alteration. Once I thought I should learn my lesson and buy a dress my size but I love the challenge and the feeling of accomplishment so I will continue to buy cheap plus sizes dress.
Note: cheap because I always go on clearance rack.

I'm an amateur photographer, I don't have any DLSR (although I'm considering on getting one pretty soon) what I have is a small digicam and just point and shoot. I love taking picture of interesting subjects. I don't have any formal training aside from what I randomly read online about photography. I can tell what's a potential piece and what's not base on my taste but I must admit that I don't have the artistic eye just plain "my own taste" and that's it.
This is the 3rd year that I am planning to join the costco photo contest. For consecutive year I was scanning my files and find no potential piece but this year I will enter the contest. The attached photo will be my entry, I'm not hoping to win but it will be the start of my entries.

On my next weekend off we are planning to head to the mountain ranch and do some wild pig hunting. My husband have a very nice hunting gun and he just got a new rifle scopes, so it would be fun to test it, let's see if we could get big catch. The ranch has a tower where we can see the surrounding mountains with a good vantage point to it. So we can test the rifle scope on top of the tower first and site the target.

This is one of the mountain view in the west side of Oahu. This land where I took the picture is a agricultural area where the vegetable farms and ranch are located. This is also a place where you rent a stable for your horses. One day I want to hike on this mountains, it might be perfect for a beginner like me because it's not too high and dangerous. This is also the place where my husband and his friends hint for wild pigs. Very nice place to hang out if you love greenery and nature.

Me and my younger brother share the same taste when it comes to clothing, we love hip hop clothes so much. I more on to hip hop dresses and his more on to jeans, tops and to complete his look, his hoody. My brother loves Nike brand while I love baby phat and levis the most. We always shop online for our hip hop clothes, our online favorite store ever carries a wide variety of choices and they always have new patterns every season.

I got this picture from a local FM station website, they are trying to get peoples comment about this big bike. Poring comments came and mostly said they don't like the idea of this "zebra powered bike".
In my own opinion based on my wild taste, honestly this is a bad idea. I love animal print particularly zebra but this one threw me off. The owner must love it but it's just way too much for me. Whats your wild opinion?

We had dinner at a friend's house last night; I had so much fun with them, such a lovely and nice family. We also watch movie after dinner and it was fantastic, they have a movie theater with surround sound. The home theater speakers are awesome; it makes me feel that I am in a real theater. That will be the beginning of our deep friendship and we will always go in their house to have potluck or party with them. I am so happy last night.

It was my first time at my husband's friend ranch last Sunday. I always miss going with him at the ranch because they usually hang out there when I'm working. We spend the father's they there and it means that I will always ask my husband to bring me there with him.
I had fun with the horses feeding them fresh grasses and petting them, they are so sweet and beautiful. I love the horses, I wish I could take care of them once in a while, while I'm visiting them.
I also harvested wild vegetable. My husband friend invited me to plant veggies there if I wanted too. The moment I hear it from my husband it put big smile on my face because that location is where the local farmers are, the soil is so rich for gardening and I'm looking forward on doing a garden on Sunday. I am now preparing the seeds that I need to plant. :)

This is the best gift for first communion. You can never go wrong with precious moments figurine and this is so perfect foe lovely kids who are about to take their first communion. You can engrave their name and date of their first communion on it. I'm getting more excited with my niece's first communion and hand her this cute present that I know she will truly love.

We were a bit busy last week entertaining my MIL when she came to visit us. She is 74 years old, she can walk but a little bit slow. This is the picture I took of her and her old guy friend. They are not lovers but all of us agreed that the feeling is Mutual!
Me and my husband make sure that she will enjoy and relax on her vacation although we cannot just bring her to places that we think we enjoy. No long distance road trips (we're planning of heading North Shore but not a good idea for her) for her, no beach as well unless it's a shady park near the shore but absolutely no swimming for her. It was fun!
