Happy Mother's Day!

 Happy Mother's day, Nanay!

The first thing I can tell you about my Nanay (mom) is that she hates having her picture taken, which is why the picture above is taken from last year's Mother's day. The picture isn't perfect, and I had to apply my meager Photoshop skills just to lighten it. But unlike the picture above, I think that I have the perfect mom. She's beautiful in my eyes all the time. Yes, she's a great nagger at times, but everything she does is for me and my big brother. I definitely love her for the gifts and sacrifices she gives us. I love you, Nanay!

Here's a tribute to all moms out there from one of my favorite bands. I listen to this all the time, even if its not Mother's day. Enjoy!

 

Discipline Managed!

I've been trying out different diets and workouts for the past few years already, but my results has always been minimal or none at all. So I just kept on gaining and gaining pounds, and a few decimals away from being obese. Therefore, I came to the conclusion that it wasn't the diets nor the workouts that were faulty; it was me all along. I kept on giving into temptations and finding ways not to work out. I am fat because of my own choices (how philosophical is that?). And so, I decided I'll work on my discipline first, and that led me to this: my own discipline card, and I gladly share them with you!

It's pretty simple to use actually:

• First, print the card. It's  3in x 4in, so any kind of paper will do. I used a white cardboard paper for mine.
• Write on the blank the habit you want to keep on doing or a bad habit that you promised not to do.
• For each day of the month, encircle, highlight, or cross out the days in which you were able to do or not to do the habit.
• See your progress!

That is pretty much it. Simple, right? As a bonus, I also chose two inspirational quotes that can help you keep your discipline, which you can print at the back of your cards:

My card currently says "This month, I solemnly swear not to eat rice.", and so far. I've gone five days without rice already. I'm feeling "lighter" than the usual although there are no drastic changes yet, but I can't wait to finish my first month! I greatly believe that small changes can make drastic changes, so start your small changes now! :)
