Over and over I am learning that weight loss really is more than just dropping the pounds. It really entails a whole re-education of one’s lifestyle, habits and understanding of the self. This realization came to me the other day when I met up with an old friend of mine, who happens to be a [...]

I have said this time and again: I would probably not survive life in a country where there is winter. Seriously. I do not think my body can accommodate such extreme temperature. More so, I do not think my soul will make it through those cold, cold winters. And yes, being the emotional eater that [...]
For the longest time, I found my heart’s home in the powedery shores of Boracay. Then it found completion in the clear waters of Laiya. Now, my heart is dreaming again, this time of a new destination. Since I have discovered yoga, I think it would be safe to say it has invaded every facet [...]
I was so flattered to receive an email from a writer from the US about a week ago saying she had come across my blog and that she wanted to interview me for a piece she was writing on emotional overeating. It was funny that here email came to me right after a week of [...]
In the spirit of decluttering my life (yes, this is my way of dealing with stress since I’m trying to avoid emotional eating haha), I went through my desktop’s files and deleted a whole bunch of duplicate photos, music files I don’t need and documents that, well, are no longer important.

Today was a cheat day. But….to be fair, I realized I am learning how to eat in moderation. Yey me. Granted that on occasion I still feel the urge to binge, I am more aware of it now. For example, today I opened a bag of Flaming Hot Cheetos and guess what….. I didn’t finish [...]
For the first time EVER, my phone died on me yesterday. No, it didn’t break…I just ran out of battery. Haha. Seriously though, I think my friends will attest to the fact that I am one of those people who seem to be perpetually attached to her phone. My cellphone is kinda like an extra [...]
Tamaditis – a made up word by me to describe the current state I am in. It is characterized by extreme feelings of being tamad, the Filipino word for lazy. Sigh. I swear. I have never felt this lazy and unmotivated in my life. I do not want to do anything. I do not want [...]
My yogini friend Jane once told me that in yoga, we will get to meet poses that will be our friends and those that will start out as enemies, but eventually, may become frenemies. I liked how she put it that way, because it did make good sense to me. From the very beginning of [...]
