Ambitious-shared a bar of chocolate with the devil.

Day 1

There is this machine (cycling machine) sat in the library upstairs, gone dusty and hardly any use at all. There is this momma, gained so much weight when she sets her feet in Europe. Blame the lovely foods. Well, yes! She is learning to cook and bake. That's ME! The AMBITIOUS ME.

I hate exercise. I don't do any sports. Don't ask me how I passed my Physical Education at school. I only donate some basketballs and volleyballs just to get rid of the subject. Okay, corruption starts at school in the Philippines. Ha. Well, that's beside the point now. Let's get ambitious here!

Every time I go to our bedroom, I always pass the library and see the cycling machine, I am like. Hey! Yow! How ya doin' ovah there? Bored? Okay! Let's have a ride. Then, I go. Ooops! That's 2 minutes, burned 8 calories. Har har har. I can't breathe. I realize that it's too bad and poor so, I decided to carry on till I burnt out 64 and that was a hard work but hey! I wanted to wake up smoking hot a sexy tomorrow! I know that's not how it works...ambitions...ambitions...then bang DONE 130! Yepee!

Day 2

All sore. I think, I gonna die. I also heard my friend Shannel doing some good job. She's going to be smoking hot a sexy soon. I am not having that! See, I am not just ambitious. I am a copy cat, too. Haha. So I push myself and took a ride and did 132...surely but surely. I'll get you Shannel.

Day 3

I told Shannel. She said it's good. She has been a very supportive friend. She encouraged me, that we are not just doing it for ourselves but we are doing it for the people we love, too. I turned and look at my little girl. Oh yeh! Shannel is right. I don't want my little girl growing up without a mummy. I do need some discipline.

I will never eat a bar of chocolate from now on, I said to myself. But, the devil won't leave me alone. He, drag me to the cupboard to get some chocolates. I screamed "NO" but he insisted and I did not want to be rude either so, I grabbed a little portion. I shared it with the devil so, it wasn't a full bar. But hey! I did not forgot what my friend Shannel said. I burnt out 141...a little bit more than DAY 2. :)

Day 4

At DAY 4, I finally killed the rice. I don't want it anymore. It's a poison. Well, devil is now getting more portion of the chocolates than me. He can even have it all. I don't care as long he won't come and drag me back to the cupboard. Not being funny, I am looking after my child while doing it and burned more calories-310! Yeehaa!

Day 5

I am now getting lazy but, I have to do this. A little more than DAY 4. I know, I can make it.

Day 6

DAY 6 was a killer. I was a bit busy. We did some shopping in the morning and had been out and about. There was a devil in the supermarket too that offered 3 scoops of ice-cream. Can you even say "NO" to that? You can't! I was really guilty and sat on the machine for nearly 17 minutes and did a hundred. So much LESS than the previous days. I am not very proud of that but there are things that needs to get done.

Day 7...to be continued (that's tonight's job)So, here's the ambitious mummy and Olivia, sending you our love for dropping by.

This also for the seventh round of alphabe-thursday. Pop by and see more "A" post. I am sure lovely Jenny would be grateful if you do.

The weekend in Black and White 5/18/13

It's The Weekend in Black and White time again so, I ran off to the garage and took this one. It's old and dusty some sort of an old decoration in the garden before. I think it would be cool to bring back it's beauty on a black and white photograph.

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

And oh! Before I forget, I know some of you was trying to visit my blog and had this cheeky redirect loop problem. My apologies. I am now setting it back to blogspot for easy access while I am sorting out the loop. Thank you also for the messages to let me know...I really did not know it the first place.

Zazzy enough?

I don't know what's with grandmother's shoes and handbag...what is it really and oh the hat too.

I've spied my daughter rocking her grandma's stuff. I think it is pretty cute until she broke 2 reading glasses, lipstick and some porcelain vases. What I don't get is after all of that girly babablings she said: Mummy, I want to be a boy!!! I was like...dude?!!! C'mon!

It's also a zazzy post for gorgeous Jenny at alphabet-Thursday.

Accidentally delicious

Rhubarb Meringue Dessert

Rhubarb- something I haven't seen in Asia. Haven't tasted what it's like. I just heard it from hubby and have always been wandering what it's like as it is one of his favourite when we talk about pies or pudding. Finally got hold of it and has to try to put a hand on it...has to be done.

I have been reading and it said to be a perfect springtime dessert so I did while Olivia is having her afternoon sleep.I know, I am not a kitchen guro but at least give me a chance to cook something.

I've got the recipe from ==> HERE. MUST TRY!

EASY! Very easy for me to mess up. Burnt the crust/base. Oopsie! PANIC ATTACKED and still got rid of the burnt part.

Meringue on its way!

Tada! Here's what I came up with! Ugh! I did not know that I don't have to mashed the Rhubarb so, there you go! It looks more like a cake but trust me, it was nice. Olivia and hubby stuffed it down to knock out so, I believe it's genuinely yum!

A little love note

Olivia Brynn,

I LOVE YOU BABY.

You're the best thing that ever happened to me. You are such a pure joy and you make it so very easy for me to look after you. I love it, you know.

The best job ever is being your mummy. Did you know that I gave up my teaching job in Thailand to be your full-time mummy? Oh joy! I might not get a break but, every single time we spend together is all fun.

I don't get paid at the end of the month but watching your grow into such a very sweet little girl has paid off alll my mummy jobs. PRICELESS.

I thought, making lesson plans are all over and done with but, NO! NO! This time, is the proper one. It is not the written one but it has to be the best plan and I promise to try my best to be a good teacher and a mother to you. That might sound too ambitious but, I am working on it. I'll do my best.

I did miss my students calling me: Teacher! Teacher! But, you calling me MUMMY is a music to my heart. That's right! Mummy-that's me.I am so proud to be called by that name.

No more Teacher's day for me but I get more than that...MOTHER'S DAY and that's today and we celebrate it with ice-cream. You're not supposed to eat a lot but you never stopped licking my ice-cream and your lola's ice-cream. :) Well, you call it ICE-KRIIING!!! It did sum up to a perfect day.

Love,

Your mummy,

Melody

Young blind date

Meow!!! Blind date? Yes, it is but, I am not sending my little girl for a blind date that we all know.

I want you to meet KC, she's a cunning cat. She's my aunt and uncle's baby and she is blind...both eyes and graciously very ambitious cat. She loves the attention and she loves the sunshine...when the sun is out, she's off sunbathing.

One thing that gets me is watching my little girl playing with KC...she does like her and never leaves KC alone. I am not a meow person but Olivia is. Every time she gets up in the morning, she wakes me up and say : Mummy, lets's see KC! C'mon mummy! Then the meowing blind date starts and she's always beside KC when she's eating. I hope she hadn't tried some cat food. Oh dear.

Sunbathing

Grabbing some attention.

THE BLIND DATE...SWEET DATE.

Oh! I am early this time. Woop whoop! I did aim for number one on the link but I guess Lola has been helping Nora to do their post...them two are perfect duo.

Come and see more Y post with my loves, Jenny.

Quite finds and quite crazy

My lovey Mr. Sun didn't show up...it was cold but coldness didn't stop us to have a wander outside and take a few clicks of the lovely blooms that spring has brought us and see how's my photography kicks out :)

Quite crazy

iPad has become our fun best friend as Olivia likes to see herself on the front camera...she thinks she's on TV. Oh man!

PLAYING ALONG WITH MRS. NESBITT AT ABC WEDNESDAY.

Rothenburg ob der Tauber

Tuesday and it only mean Our World Tuesday. I know I've missed so many Tuesdays due to tons of things to get done.

As a consolation, let me take you to Rothenburg ob der Tauber in the middle Frankonia, Bavaria Germany. It's a medieval town , all walled up with many interesting museums...lovely historic place.

You'll be up here if you're a fan Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 (2010) and Part 2 (2011) as the filming was done here. Pinocchio was also done here.
