I went for a doctor’s appointment yesterday and of course i went through the regular routine of having my weight checked and getting my blood pressure. As of Sept 13, 2010 at 4pm, i officially weigh 90.40 lbs.! I am actually happy about it coz i’ve always known my weight to range between 90 and 95 lbs and like a month ago i guess, when i weigh myself in the bathroom, it showed 85 lbs. So either the weighing scale is off or i got really lighter during that time.

While eating a rice krispies bar today, i suddenly got the idea that i really need to get fat which later on i rephrased to gaining some weight as advised by Zach. I’ve been hungry all day and i’ve been eating like every hour that my collection of snacks in my cube went down to having 1 fruit snacks and 1 rice krispies bar left. I usually just have a fruit snacks, string cheese, or other little snacks here but now i’m thinking of getting more of these and some other healthy food like lunchables that i can eat anytime i get hungry next time so i need to grab some the next time we go grocery shopping.

So there, i’ll see if my plan of having more food/snacks here at my cube will work and if i’ll gain weight with that and with eating more servings too for lunch and dinner. Goodluck to me

… and so i’ve decided to finally, finally, finally update my blog. I know i’ve been saying this and tried a couple times before but always failed to do so. But this time, i really, truly mean it, pwamis!

With my life turning 360 degrees, its been a bumpy road for me and a lot of things happened, had a lot of ups and down, but what matters is i have been a survivor, i have a brand new life, and i am HAPPY.

But i’ll be trying my best to get back on track now and start blogging again!

We went to see Disney on Ice today at the Energy Solutions arena at 11. Zach’s mom gave us the tickets and i’m very thankful for that. Its always been my dream to see Disney on Ice since i was younger and i’m glad i finally got to see it.

The show presented Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy as the hosts and it basically started with their car having some problems and as they left to get some water the gang from Cars came out. Afterwards it was a short version of the Little Mermaid. Then its the Lion King story then the show had a few minutes break. The last half of the show was all about Tinkerbell and her story.

Overall it was a very good show and i’m glad two of my fave Disney movies are there namely The Little Mermaid and The Lion King. I wished my favorite princesses Cinderella and Belle were there but maybe i’ll catch them next time. So its one dream come true again for me. Hopefully i can go to Disneyland soon…

I am really very happy. I wish i was younger so i can wear a princess gown like those cute little girls who came to see the show. I wanted to buy some Disney items there too but ugh! they were freakin expensive! nevermind. We went home and its been snowing heavily and its soooo cold. We drove thru a snow storm and when we got home, my chikoree’s front is very icy. lol.

After Thanksgiving weekend, i found out that the episode 11 of The Vampire Diaries won’t be airing til January 14th of 2010. Bummer! *sigh*. I was really very excited to watch the next episode to find out who the guy is when Elena crashed that night nd ofocurse on how the sotry will be portrayed on TV. I ahven’t read the books yet so every episode is really a surprise for me. I really like The Vampire Diaries. After the old time Buffy the Vampire Slayer, i’ve never liked anything else as much until The Vampire Diaries came out.

Season one is 22 episodes but The Vampire Diaries was only signed on for 10 to see the ratings of the show and if it was worth keeping and due to very good ratings and becoming The CW’s best performing show, it was announced that The CW had given the series a full, 22-episode first season on October 21, 2009.

It is said that you can catch The Vampire Diaries epic commencing on the 14th of December 2009. There will be two episodes shown every night for 5 days straight. So till then wait for The Vampire Diaries Episode 11 and have fun catching the missed episode! You can also watch it on The CW’s website.

Dental plans are basically agreements between you and a dental insurance or dental plan company. These agreements may differ but they tend to have a few things in common: they have easy approval processes, they allow you to enjoy discounts on dental costs, and they allow you to select a dentist or dental care professional from a list or network. If you are looking to reduce your dental care costs without hassle, without much paperwork, or without many complications, a dental plan may be for you.

Key highlights of a dental plan are simple application process where you often only need to apply and pay a membership or application fee. Once your application is accepted, you will get discounts on dental care. You may or may not have to pay deductibles, but you will enjoy reduced dental costs. Dental plans cover some of the same processes as dental insurance like cleanings, fillings, root canals, and other dental work. The claims process with dental plans is also very different where you often only need to show your policy number, policy card, or membership card. Your dentist will usually fill out all the paperwork or will simply give you the dental discount. At that point, you’ll only need to pay your reduced dental costs directly to the dentist.

Encore Dental Plan and Florida Dental Plans provides dental coverage at an affordable rate for indivduals and families and even those individuals that are self-employed or retired. Encore Dental offers several plans and these plan options that may cover preventative care up to 100% and cover additional services at up to 50%, for immediate dental work, and those that already have dental coverage but want to eliminate out-of-pocket expenses.

The Peoples Dental Plan is a discount dental plan offered by Peoples to individuals and their families with discounts from 20% to 50% that can be used on on cosmetic dental procedures and orthodontics, such as adolescent dentition, and other dental services.

Metlife Dental Plan accommodate both the employer’s and employee’s needs. Plans are flexible, cost-effective, and are available to employers of all sizes. Plans available are group dental preferred provider organization (PPO), group dental health maintenance organization (HMO), indemnity plans (traditional fee-for-service plans), and multi-options features.

The AARP Dental Plans are dental insurance packaged available exclusively to active AARP members and their eligible family members. AARP dental plans have two options: Plan A and Plan B which will be based on the number of individuals to be covered.

We’ve been hearing and seeing a lot lately about acai berries and acai juices especially on the topics of healthy eating and diet. The acai berry is a small, round, purple-ish fruit about an inch in diameter. It is from the acai palm which is popularity grown in Brazil.

The acai berry is being marketed as a dietary supplement that comes in different forms like juice, capsules, tablets, smoothies, powdered drink, and as the actual fruit. One of the most popular form of acai berry is the acai juice which is said to taste like a mix of berries and chocolate. It is sold either as a pure juice or is mixed with other juices or substances. Another is the freeze dried acai in the form of powder which is processed within 24 hours of picking an acai berry. And of course, the brazilian berry acai which is the actual fruit from the acai palm.

There are a lot of information on the internet about acai berry. The acai berry is a wonderful fruit that has good nutrients in it. So whether some says its health benefits is true or not, why not try it and see for yourself?

hmmm finally the UPS guy dropped it on my doorstep this morning. Ofcourse i immediately grabbed my phone to take pictures of the contents while i’m unpacking it to see what the items look like. So, here’s what I got!
