Slim, slimmer, slimmest?

Would you believe the LED tvs and plasma tvs available now? So slim and so light!!!

We were in an electronic store the other day. Not really planning on buying another TV but we had a lot of time to kill and we didn't want to go home yet so we went to look around.

When these breed of tvs came out several years ago, they were really expensive. Only people with money can afford. Now, it's still pricey compared to the the tube TV (of course) but it's affordable.

I like this Samsung plasma TV 50inch. I am not going to buy this anytime soon though. If we go back to Philippines an dlive permanently in our condo, then I'd buy a slim TV like this.

Hopefully the prices will then be really affordable.

Since, we are only expats here and just renting an apartment, I don't want to spend money on these things. What we have right now is the old TV models. Kinda big but since it works fine, I am fine with it.

What about you? What kind of TV do you have at home now?

Zara: Women Spring Summer Campaign

I am a "fan" of Zara in facebook and in real life too. They're chic and affordable. They posted the Women Spring Summer Campaign last Thursday on facebook and I love almost all the clothes.

All photos from Zara on their facebook page.

I love this color combination.

Pretty.

So chic.

Candy colors. I love it.

Structured. I like it.

Classic and elegant.

I can't wait to go to a Zara store and raid their collection! Two more weeks!!!

Saturday 9: Margaritaville

Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!

Saturday 9: Margaritaville

1. Tell us about a time that you had way too much Jose Cuervo.
++ I don't remember having too much Jose Cuervo. Or probably because I've had too much that time, I couldn't remember anymore. LOL!

2. Do you agree with the following statement: "The older you get, the faster time goes by."?
++ I don't know. I haven't noticed time going faster than usual.

3. What do you usually do during your "down time?"
++ Read blogs. Or window shop.

4. When it comes to the opposite sex, do you feel you have a grasp on 'em - or do they continue to just surprise you?

South Beach Diet, second time around

Did I mention in this blog that I have been on South Beach Diet (SBD)? Well, yes I was. I did the phase 1, and was religious about it. I lost 5kgs exactly.

I was pretty impressed. Impressed with the diet and impressed with myself for being able to stick to the rigid 14-day of no carb and no sugar.

And then the holidays came! Wham! Diet gone.

I tried going back to where I left off, the phase 2. But it's not the same. I always cheat.

Last February 1, I tried on two scales for accurate weight measurement. I gained back almost 3kgs of the weight I lost. Horrors!!!

That same day, I went back to phase 1 of SBD. It's my third day again. And since this is my second time, it's not that hard anymore.

I've lost 1kg already. I know it's probably just water only but that made me happy.

I've continued with my exercises as well.

I am hoping to make this time really work. Cross my fingers.

On a different note, Go Xi Fa Cai everyone!!! May we all have a prosperous year of the Rabbit.

Share a Thrift Hunt: 001

I am joining my friend's new meme:

I love thrifting and I am lucky I share the same interests with my friends.

Here's one of my fave thrift find: An old stripe shirt.

I love this because it is so comfy. I roll up the sleeves to add character. I usually pair it with my loose jeans or shorts. I got this for $0.50!
