Have you experienced being late for an important appointment that would cost you your job or a multi million dollar deal? Well, I had but it was not as serious as the two mentioned earlier. I was to attend a birthday lunch that I had arranged for my Dad and I was almost late if not for my alertness. Thank goodness gracious!
I’m a person who would keep to my appointed time but somehow my watch had failed me again. The wonderful thing is that when I brought my watch for a fix, the watch repair person could not find any faults in the mechanism. I’m still wondering how the time on my watch could have slowed down for an hour or so and yet continued to be alive after that. Another thing that surprised me was that it would happen once every three to four months although I had the batteries replaced with brand new quality ones. This is still a mystery!
I’m so attached to my watch that I could not go without it as it was a gift from a personal friend. But to face the little hiccup that it would bring every few months could be rather risky, especially when it would be an important meeting that I had to attend. I had sent the watch to be monitored for a few weeks many times but it came out with a clean bill each time. I guessed I would have to find other alternatives as misjudging time could be a matter of life or death situations. Anyone would like to present me with the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Ginza Limited Edition? I heard that it’s one of the best around the world.

Most of us are aware of the term “Eat To Live and Live To Eat”. Eating for the sake of keeping the stomach filled is one thing but not many of us are conscious about eating healthily. The more fatty the meat is the more juice it would contain and the more we would consume without taking heed of how outsized our body proportions would become. This is one habit that some of the food bloggers have until so much so that they tend to have problems getting the right fitting clothes.
For the guys, it won’t be such a hassle as there are still many shops around town selling or tailor-make all those over sized shirts and pants at affordable price. As for the ladies, it would be quite a headache as there are limited shops selling those big sized dresses. To tailor-make one, it could cost many folds the price of a guy’s shirt and pants. Moreover, most of the designs would make them look as if they were on maternity period.
Let’s just not talk about the body size due to obsessive eating. There are also quite a large number of ladies with large body structures. They too have problems finding the right size clothes. If this is the problem, one would also need to get a plus size lingerie and a large percentage of the sizes available are for those slim and sleek bodies. Now that’s a huge problem as those can’t be custom made. I guessed they would have to browse online to seek for their solutions. I’m sure there would be some online shops that would cater for their needs.

What would be your most dreadful moment in the house? As for me, it was when I had to get some cooking done and I would have to face a leaking sink. There was then until I had replaced the old sink with a simple yet loyal one. Can you imagine each time after having done the preparation of ingredients for my meal and I would end up with a wet kitchen floor? Having the additional task of drying up the whole place really got me exhausted.
No matter how much time and money I had spent on replacing the washer or fixing the leaks, the problem returned after awhile. I guessed purchasing a cheap kitchen sink to cut down on some funds did not really work out at all. In fact, I have been paying more to the plumbers now than to save on getting a more expensive sink. That was such a huge regret in my life. There is something in life that you cannot be frugal on such as the many household items that would last you for a lifetime.
Initially, I wanted to get the quality Kohler Stainless Steel sinks but the other side of me wanted to cut down on tens to hundreds of dollars to purchase other household furniture and fixing. It was a mistake to save on a purchase that would last me for a long time. I guessed I was still too young to think about the after effect of being so frugal. The best part now is that not only did I get what I wanted earlier, I’m even happier as there were no more leaks in the house. Instead of banging my head against the wall each time there were leaks in my many other household sinks, I had all of them replaced with stainless steel sinks. Believe it or not, all of them are discount Kohler sinks. Not only was I able to save on the purchases, my house would be leak free for years to come.

It is great to own some pets to keep the home environment more lively but there are also hiccups when you have just one too many at a time. That was what I found out… the hard way. Initially, I just told myself that having a pair of cats at home would surely make my life happier. Eventually, the two pets had another three kittens joined in the family just a few months later. Well, FIVE pets in the house would still be manageable. Subsequently, two strays came knocking at my front door with that Shrek’s Puss-In-The Boot pathetic looking eyes begging for food. Being a compassionate person, I fed them outside as they were fleas infested.
Just within the next few days, step by step and wit by wit, they managed to gain control over the house, making friends with the rest of the indoor cats. Well, SEVEN is still within my means to get them well fed and comfortable within the house. Out of the blues, the mother cat went out “partying” for a few days and I ended up with another two kittens 2 months later. NINE is quite a crowd but it’s still within my control as all of them had that innocent and well behaved characteristics.
As the kittens began to get older, situations here were rather chaotic. Each day they grew larger and became hyperactive. Day and night, they would be chasing each other endlessly upstairs and downstairs, inside and outside of the room. With all the rough play, they subsequently made a large hole on my plaster based wall. With so many of them within the house, I could not detect who was the culprit. It would well be the big and strong Jeremy or my wild little girl, Jolyn. What else could I do except to drag myself to the nearest material handling store to get that hole patched up? It was no longer fun anymore as there were endless streams of patching and fixing all the time. Although it did eat into quite a noticeable amount in my monthly budget, it’s still a commitment and responsibility I had set upon when I had decided to take care of the welfare of my pets since day one.

What would you do when are on a diet and you have a forth coming festive season where you would be having a lot of dinners and parties? Would you just sit down there and watch all the delicious food being passed around the table or would you jump in the fun and worry about getting fatter by the end of the celebration? I’m sure you would not miss your Mum’s favorite cooking such as the Lamb Shank nor would you want to miss out her Double Chocolate Cheese Moist Cake.
This is the common question posed by most people on strict diet. To me, it all lies in the controlling power of a person. There’s never a right or a wrong answer to whether a person can consume this dish or that dish. It should be a well balanced and complete diet. A meatless and sugarless diet may not be the ideal choice as it would drain your body of the energy to perform well in your daily activities.
You could still go for your Mum’s home cook food but then you might want to consider reducing the intake of some of the other fatty dishes or sugar rich beverages such as BBQ bacon or Iced Honey Cappuccino. After all, how many times a year would you get to enjoy your Mum’s home cook food when you are already having a family of your own elsewhere?
It’s all within your will power to be self disciplined. If you are having 15 minutes of exercises daily, then go for an extra 10-15 minutes for the next few days. That would help to reduce the weight you have gained. Just make sure that you do not skip the fat burning and diet pill you are on during your eating spree.
