During my father’s wake, relatives came over. As they always say, death seems like a reunion, you’ll get to see long lost relatives during this time. True enough, I saw some of my cousins that I only met during our childhood years.

So sad that one of them have fallen into the hands of a bad influence friends, doing nonsense things  have fallen into the prey of bad vices like drinking alcohol and taking prohibited drugs. The elders decided to send him into a san diego drug rehab like center around their area. We were all praying that he’ll soon be healed and will be led into the right path.

I was in grade five then when my teacher noticed that I had a hard time reading what is written in the blackboard, so she transferred me into the first row and gave my parents a letter to ask for an eye check-up. It was confirmed that I have a poor and blurry eyesight.

Since then, I had to wear prescription eyeglasses and was instructed to only take it off when taking a bath and when it’s time to sleep. I get used to it until my high school days. But of course, there were cons that came with it, some naughty classmates teases me, nerd, “four-eyes” ,etc. So goes with unfashionable look during my JS Prom. Yes, I had to wear my glasses because we can’t afford for a contact lenses then. 🙂

Fast forward to my college years, I shifted to contact lenses but my eyes could not bear wearing it for a long period of time so I switch back to eyeglasses. Imagine not being able to clearly see your baby when you gave birth?! I have to go through that because I had to take off my eyeglasses upon giving birth eh! 🙁

I am now hoping to undergo a Boston Lasik eye surgery. I am crossing my fingers that I am a qualified candidate for the said procedure so that I can still enjoy a 20/20 vision and bid goodbye to my prescription eyeglasses.

There’s an obsession in our society with losing weight, and being thin. The trouble is that we tend to lose weight for the wrong reasons. Here’s some examples of good and bad reasons to lose weight.

The right reasons:

To improve your fitness

Being overweight can decrease your fitness levels, because you feel demotivated and want to play Cheekybingo instead of going for a run. Losing weight will not only make it easier for you to walk up and down the stairs, it will also improve your endurance and stamina. Not to mention you’ll look more energetic.

To prevent medical conditions

Losing weight improves your overall physical well-being. Being overweight is linked to diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure, to name a few. Losing weight will give you the best chance of remaining healthy.

Improve your self esteem

When you’re overweight, it will make you feel bad about yourself. By setting yourself a goal to lose just 10% of your body weight, in a reasonable amount of time, you’ll prove to yourself that you can achieve. And it will spur you on to achieve bigger and greater things.

The wrong reasons:

To be skinny

Many women feel terrible about themselves because they are not model thin. However, losing weight to be skinny is unhealthy, and doesn’t look good. If women who aren’t naturally thin go too far with their diet, it won’t suit their body type. Slim down to a healthy weight. Not a skinny one.

You’ve put your self-worth on your weight

Too many people base their self worth on their weight, which is a sad by-product of societal conditioning. Being overweight does not define you, and doesn’t make you any less worthy of happiness than a naturally slim person.

Because someone bullies you

Being teased about your weight is extremely hurtful. Unfortunately too many people accidentally use hurtful comments or bully you, because they want you to feel bad about yourself. Don’t lose weight to prove the bullies wrong. If you choose to lose eight, let it be on your terms.
