Why do I have to be caught up in a drama I have nothing to do with?

 

Why do I keep on looking at someone I have no chance with?

 

Why am I still sleepy when I have been sleeping early?

 

I needed a break. I wanted to start anew. 

Empty Words

Remember the time
when you said to me,
"Your friend, I will forever be
Through thick and thin
I'll stay by your side
Thank you for always listening,
you make me feel light."

All those 21 years of laugh and tears,
all the teasing and fighting
Oh boy!
You are truly missed.

But how could you tell me
that you can't do this anymore?
You said you were my friend,
my brother, and so much more.

How could you forget
the promises we once made?
I thought between the two of us
you are the one whose brave.
.
What I gave were all sincere
my time, my shoulder and my ear.
Now, I know I can say
"I've been a good friend to you."
I have been so dear.

Our friends are whom we choose,
but time tests if friendship is true.
I'd hate to think about it
but it makes me wonder
why I have chosen you?

I'm all good,
everything's fine now.
But don't make promises
you can't keep.
For empty words are terrifying
it can haunt you in your sleep.

To eat or not to eat?

Lately, I have been feeling the urge to go on a diet. Well, I have gained a lot of weight for the last few months  and I'm having difficulties in finding clothes to wear. That's why I have decided to make this plans into actions. 

To tell you the truth, I don't eat too much. I just eat three meals a day with seldom snacks during the afternoon. The problem is that, my lifestyle has become very sedentary now that I am working in an office. Sitting around all day can contribute to weight gain since there's no way for you to at least burn all the carbs you have consumed during the day. So I would like to share the "diet plan" I have been doing for the last two weeks. 

Every morning, I make sure that I have stretched out my body. A ten minute stretching is what I do with at least a three-minute jumping jack session. You don't usually get sweaty by doing this but it awakens your body enough to make you active throughout the day. Then, I eat oatmeal for breakfast. I usually eat the ones with an ample amount of dietary fibers in it because it will help in good digestion. If you don't want the taste of plain oatmeal, you can always go for the ones with milk, fruits and nuts and other flavors as well. Then, throughout the day I make sure to at least drink 6-8 glasses of water. I do not if you have ever heard of water therapy but water really help in losing weight. It also gives you healthy and beautiful skin. I also prefer eating chicken and fish instead of pork. 

One more thing is that I avoid eating foods like potato chips since these kinds of foods contribute to the formation of belly fat. Lastly, I make it a habit to sleep not less than 7 hours a day. Staying up late gives you tendencies to binge in unhealthy snacks like chips and soda. Besides that, enough sleep is a must for a healthier you.

So far, those are the only steps I do to lose weight. I also eat a wide variety of healthy foods like fruits and vegetables. Remember you can always eat everything but on moderation. Eat a little bit of everything. You should also stick to your plans and think of your goals always. 

I hope this entry has helped you and let's shed some of those extra weight together. :)
