A few months ago, I was asked to be part of a photo shoot for a popular ice cream brand. I immediately said yes and was really psyched about it as this was to be shot by a really famous photographer. I've seen his works and I have to say, he is pretty awesome! So the day came when it was finally my turn to be in front of his camera. I went early to the studio, got myself made up, dressed as required and there I was, happily posing as he quickly snap away. I was out of the country when it was time to unveil the photos so I was really excited to see the final work the moment I got back from my trip. Luckily, my friend Richard got my photo for me so I was able to receive the hard copy a few days after that. As I opened the envelope, my jaw dropped. The photo was excellent but the subject (me) wasn't. Far from perfection, in fact. Back when I can still wear a tube gown and look vavavoom. Note the visible collar bone. Circa 2003. Let's just say it felt like I was given...

August 2008 will mark a lot of beginnings for me. First, there's the start of my new career which is really something great and exciting... But more importantly, this will also be the month where i'll FINALLY take my first step in having a more healthy and fit lifestyle. For years I've been wanting to hit the gym/bike/airwalker/threadmill/any form of exercise machine or activity/you-name-it-i've-thought-of-it. Although I've manage to start the routine, after some time and most especially after seeing very good changes, I tend to slack off and eventually forget all about keeping the weight off. Finally, I've decided that this month I will make that change . Thus, in this blog I will share with you a couple of healthy yet super yummy dishes and recipes that I've discovered as well as short snippets on the things that I will be doing to support my new i-love-myself campaign. Yipeeee!! *photo credit: www.istockphoto.com
