I knew this day would come.
After a whole week of whining about the never ending rainstorms
Today the entire island seems to be sun soaked.
Or rather..ROASTED i should say.
What the hell?it's definitely gotta be the hottest day ever today!
I was walking out for lunch and as usual didn't bother to use any form of sun protection..
I walk nonchalantly out of the sheltered area smirking at the aunties
who tottered around with their silver UV protection brollies..
Then it hit me.
It was like walking straight into wall of hot air.
Yikes..damn bloody terok i tell ya!
It wasn't just the direct rays of the mid-noon sun,the very air was dense with the heat
I aint exaggerating ok..
Coupled with strong winds that seemed to boost the heatwaves rather than cool it..
It really was unbearable.
Even at around 6pm,
it was still freaking HOT.
Reached home in a semi-dazed state..
I felt that I would pass out at any moment
Headed straight for the fridge & gulped down some ice-cold water
Ahhhh.
Precious water..
I didn't have to look into the mirror to see the condition of my prickling skin
I was half-baked just by spending some time walking home!
I HATE THE FREAKING SUN!!
Arrrgh.
Ok ok enough ranting
Spoke to Twinny today after a long time..
She was on the way home after work
Had a tough time hearing her over the braking & screeching of the bus
Still..it was nice to catch up..
Haiz.
Remember some weeks ago I was droning on and on
about how I intended to start watching my diet & skincare routine?
Ok..updates
I stopped using certain cosmetics &
went back to the very basic 3 golden rules:
Cleanse,Tone,Moisturize
I did that faithfully each morning & night
I can feel my skin regaining back some of its lost glow & tautness
Even my dark eye rings are slowly but surely improving
So that's a step in the right direction & I'm pleased about that.
Secondly,the diet
Yeah I know most people don't really talk about BEING on a diet
I used to be like that in my teenage years
Now..I realise that I don't mind telling people I'm on a diet,
especially my family members & buddies
Yeah at first I was teased but when they saw that I was serious,
they encouraged me.
So that's good right?
Way better than restricting yourself silently & dieting on the sly
At least instead of feeding me at the WRONG times,
my family is now sensitive to my health concerns &
prepare healthier stuff!!
Thanks to this,they are also eating healthier.
The best part is..
its barely a month but I can already feel & see the effects of a well balanced diet!
Even dear Glash commented on it when I met up with her last week..
So..strrrriiike two!!
I am not getting carried away though coz this is just the beginning
I have to stick to this plan for at least the next few months
Then I shall start working on an exercise plan
Not now ah..later ok..
Now the only worry on my mind is finding a new job
I hope I get a lucky break real soon..
Well ok its dinner time..
Catch ya later darlings
This is me,Patricia
