So I'm back, yet again, from cholesterol country to the land of skinny people where I am considered obese. I should seriously lose weight. I have a picture with marvin (ni jolina) which I refuse to show here unless I actually do shed pounds and want to post before and after pics. Just my luck, they put up those freaky slimming ads in the train again - "I used to be 54 kg and now I'm only 40 kg desu! Arigato, mysterious slimming powdeeeeer!" Wtf, I'd kill to be 54 kilos. Crazy.

as promised, the new year's lucky bag haul

I had a nice time in Manila. We just vegged out for the 1st week, spent Christmas eve playing bridge in a log cabin in Tagaytay, then vegged out again. And now that we're back, what are we doing? Vegging out. It's called location-free laziness.

For today's schedule, I've been doing the usual, reading the news, apartmenttherapy, trashy gossip blogs and finally diary-blogs. I had to stop, the last one gave me a headache. I'm no English teacher but some people should stick to Pinoy or Taglish. God, I need an aspirin.

We were supposed to have Chinese buffet lunch with Pinoy friends but ditched them because my two boys are sick with the flu. I'm the only one healthy here because I have the constitution of an OX! (The weight, too.)

(Joaquin keeps farting beside me. It's really stinky but methinks this is a good sign. He's getting well.)

In keeping with the tradition, here are my goals for this year:
1. sew a quilt
2. lose 10 pounds

Yup, that's about it. My year is packed, if I may say so myself. So when somebody says, "Hey Jo, how about doing this blah blah blah?" I can honestly say, "Sorry, my plate is full."

And a happy new year to you too!
