TaGS & awards?

I got mentioned as one of the top 100 awesome bloggers (or something like that) by Shierly from notefromthetoothfairy, thanks very much Shirly! I never thought that my blog is that awesome, it's very nice of you. and also she tags me on 10 honest facts list. So Im going to do it now :D sorry it took so long, I was away on holiday at that time :)

1. I'm easy to get annoyed, and unfortunately I'm a bad actor so I can't really hide it.
2. I love everything about chocolate.
3. I sleep like a log, a pig, a slab of concrete, you name it...as long as it represents something that stays put on bed and not moving for at least a good 8-10 hours then that's me :D
4. I'm afraid of gecko, or any lizard family... I got into a hospital once because of that beast...I'll tell more about it another time :p
5. If I have to choose style or comfort, I go for comfort ^^
6. I'm a sucker of anything health-promoting; anything that is beneficial for health, be it food, sports, or other things XD
7. I'm not a good cook, for a shame...my mom and in laws are such good cooks I feel I'm fading away in comparison with them. Well, it wasnt a big deal before I got married, but now I realize the importance of pleasing the loved ones through foods hahaha
8. When going clothes-shopping, I'm so lazy to try on the clothes, pants, or whatever XD I like shopping but I hate the trying-it-on part
9. Once my hubby criticized me about my foods and I went on a strike for two days. Ladies, please don't follow my lead hahaha...but then again, I'm sure most of your cooking levels are above mine ^^"
10. I like travelling!! but if I can choose, then I want to go to cold places... :p

And Fifi from prettymuchmakeup also mentioned me on blogs-that-I-read-frequently. thanks so much girl

I honestly read almost all of my followers' blog update (if they update of course), I do have some problem getting my followers' blog up on my left sidebar (the blog updates area), so sometimes I need to go through the list from the dashboard to check on the updates.

Thanks Shirly and Fifi for your tag and award.

on random note: I ate a huge bowl of black cherries yesterday, maybe closer to a kilo?? @.@ not sure...but when I saw myself in a mirror I got this nice dark purple shade on my lips lolz...and it stays on pretty long too!! nature's color is the best!! But then it takes almost 1kg of cherries to give me that shade, and 1kg of black cherries is like $14. uhm...I'll stick to lipstick and its kin then ^^"

Until next post bloggers!! take care and have a nice day!!

Back from holiday!!!

Helloww all!!
Im back from my long long holiday, it's true that the longer the holiday the harder it is to get yourself back in the normal working mode XD lolz
How is everyone doing? I miss blogging and of course I miss reading all of your blogs!!

Anyway, when I got back to the house I was greeted by two lovely parcels.
one is from Nikki sponsored giveaway which contains the limited edition of KARMIN professional hair styling! can't wait to try this on my hair :D thank you Nikki and Karmin people!!

LOVE the color and the lightness of this KARMIN hair styler, according to the instruction I can create curl, messy wave, and straighten hair with this one product. Will try it soon, though I'm not so good with playing with my hair I hope this will help me to put more accent to my hair ;)

And another parcel from Mai giveaway. How is it to come back from holiday feeling refreshed and find so many goodies waiting for me??? SUPER DUPER REFRESHING! Mai, thanks so much, I've been wanting to try more of the Elf products, love everything you sent me, and the earrings are just gorgeous!!

Ok, so while I was away, I got tag by Shirley and Fifi, two of the coolest blogger I love to stalk ;) thanks so much for the tag and awards, I feel so honoured, and so bad at the same time because it takes me so long to do it...and I cant do it now too because I still have to unpack my suitcase and chasing up on work-related emails. But girlies, you know I heart you!! :)

I will be back blogging soonish!! lolz...dunno how soon, but as soon as I get a hang around the house and work stuff :D I will be back stalking all of your blogs again!! ^^

Have a good day everyone!!

Holiday = eat more = weight more??

Thanks everyone for the input about the dress. I ended up wearing the pink dress and the butterfly ones, the greenish blue one will be kept for the next wedding^^ and the wedding went very very well, thanks for asking!!

I'm on holiday now as you all might have known, and I think most of us will be having christmas holiday soon, away or not from home. Holiday is always identical with eating more and I often heard people remark "It's holiday, it's okay eat some more" lolz...I think it is justified to gain a few kgs while you're on holiday and then try to sweat them off when you're back to work??
True that during a holiday we should treat ourselves nicely which includes indulging in foods and other relaxing activities. But in terms of food department, I dont really like having to sweat some weights off when Im back from holiday, it's almost like paying my credit card bills hahaha XD
How about enjoying holiday, foods, and not gaining weight?? I do think it's possible :D

Here are some things I always do during holiday to keep my weight at check, it works for me MOST of the time hahaha:



1. I tried to eat healthier fast foods, I opt for home cooked fast foods (we have alot available in Asian countries), who eat mcdonalds on holiday anyway? when my fave foods are fattening ones, like Sweet Martabak or Fried Banana (can't avoid those sometimes ^^"), I tried to eat little each time and spread it during the day or two.

picture: half boiled egg, my fave snacks, I'm tempted to add salts but I opt for pepper instead ^^


2. I try to peek at the kitchen's to see the oil they used to fry the foods (some of the resto have their kitchen at the front of their shop). since asian countries seems to have a shabby standard of what is acceptable in cooking, I tried not to eat at the resto where the cooking oil looks old or as pitch black as my car's oil XD XD
picture: the yummy fried garlic to season the dishes, goes well with almost everything X) i miss this so much!


3. I try to go in bigger groups so we can order more things and share, this way I can eat a little of a lot of variety ^^ or when go alone or in pair, I go for smaller portion.
picture: Duck Beehoon, the famous local dish in Medan (where I am now!YAY!)


4. Avoid peanut sauce where possible, but if I must I take a small amount and substitute the rest with chilli LOLz...some people say chilli makes their appetite  stronger but for me it's all the same since I eat chilli very often.

Do you have any tips to share??

Happy holiday for every one of you!

ps. Does everyone know whether blogspot change their feature for adding people to 'blog updates" list? I tried to add people who followed my blog to my "blog updates" and in the past I was able to simply add them from "the existing follower" tab (rather than putting their url address one by one), but I cant find that magic tab now! @.@"  I hope any of you know what I'm talking about.

Help me choose the dress

Hellow lovely bloggermates ;)

I have a wedding to attend, and just can't be bothered thinking too much about what to wear...so please help me picking out the outfit for the day.. ^^

The holy matrimony will be in the morning, and since I'm gonna be reading the opening verses, I was thinking to wear a cardigan with the dress so as not to be too revealing ^^"

This dress is pink in color though it looks almost white in the pic



The reception would be at night, so I think I will change dress...

IF in the morning I'm to wear the pink one, during the dinner I'm thinking to remove the cardigan from this dress.....it's summer here hence the butterfly hahaha :p



So...which one do you think is better to wear at morning and night of a summer wedding??

Thanks in advance for your opinion ^^

on a very super bright note, Christmas is coming and needless to say it's my most favorite season :) I hope everyone will have a wonderful and safe holiday. And for those who are Christians, a time for reflection and thanksgiving for a wonderful blessings that grace our humble lives...

on another not-less-bright note, I'm leaving to Medan, Bali, and Jakarta for holiday and also attending a couple of relative's weddings. Will try to post once or twice but can't be sure lolz... I will still be reading around though...so please take care everyone!!

*hugs n kisses*
