Endure My World

It's all about me

noreply@blogger.com (Mai) — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 03:21:00 +0000

I have been trying to lose weight for 2 weeks now and I'm happy with the results so far, I never imagined losing at least 13 pounds this early, since I only go walking and one round of sit-ups at least once a day. I'm also more cautious with what I eat now, avoiding too much oily foods and limiting myself from eating junk food as much as possible.

Taking care of the girls also helps, especially now that they are all over the place! And they haven't even started walking yet. Oh my! I'm both excited and a little scared once they do, because I wouldn't just look out for one baby, I need to look out for two.

While being a mom is fun, I never forget to give myself some "me" time, just to keep my sanity intact! I also try not to think about Rob being away so much, it drives me crazy that he's away, but it's for our own good anyway. In order for me to stop myself from breaking down, I always look forward to the time I give for myself, to read books, relax and catch-up with friends.

Of course, "me" time also includes shopping, and these days, I always rely on online shops for that. Since I don't have much time to go out and shop anymore. One of my favorite online shops is Gray and Osbourn, where you can buy all the fenn wright manson clothing you want!

Benefits of Platform Beds

noreply@blogger.com (Mai) — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 10:22:00 +0000

Platform beds are not new. They have been available for a number of years and are again surging in popularity. In the past, these types of beds were mostly found in Japan and Europe. However, Westerners are starting to learn about their sleek style and numerous advantages.

These beds are affordable, come in a variety of sizes and styles and add a Zen-like flare to any room. They are generally made from solid wood or medal. Due to the high structural integrity of platform beds, a box spring is not required. A regular mattress, in almost any style or firmness, can safely be placed directly on the base.

Unlike traditional bed styles, that require both a mattress and box spring, the cost of a platform bed is usually lower. Therefore, this style of bed is extremely attractive to first
time furniture buyers or newly married couples. Additionally, many of these beds offer an abundance of storage. Instead of empty wasted space underneath the bed you could have a number of pull-out drawers or other storage options.

Since there is no box spring and only a mattress on these beds, they are naturally lower to the ground. Many types of people like this feature and the advantages that it offers. First time mothers particularly like the ease of getting in and out of the bed. They also agree that having a newborn on a lower to the ground bed is appealing. Additionally, this style of bed is great for young children. If they roll out of bed in the middle of the night injuries will be far less severe.

Oh, and let's not forget family pets. They will find it much easier to climb into bed with you! Whether you are looking for a contemporary or tradition style, a twin or a king, or just looking to increase the amount of storage in your home, platform beds are a great way to go.

Hello!

noreply@blogger.com (Mai) — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 06:04:00 +0000

Just testing out the blogger app. It's been a while since I last posted here. I'm still figuring out what to do with this blog. Maybe I should post about mommy stuff here or since I'm posting everything else on my other blog, I should post "all about me" entries here.

Hmmm... Let me think this over since there are people who read my blog posts and take it the wrong way. Plus there are things that I would rather keep private than post on the net. It's a bit tempting though. Haha. We'll see. :)

Ciao for now!

New life, new blog, old/new me

noreply@blogger.com (Mai) — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 09:30:00 +0000

I haven't had time to update. Most of the time I'm busy with the twins and writing articles. Actually, a bit of me just doesn't feel like updating this blog anymore. I feel like it's not me or it doesn't go with the new me. Not that I've changed or anything. Maybe, I'm just bored of my blog and all that goes with it. But I miss blogging, I super miss it. So I thought, why not just make a new one. I have been eyeing the blog I made in WordPress for some time now. Last night, out of desperation, I decided to activate it. I seriously feel so excited to blog again. Same URL, but what the hell, it's a new platform. So if anyone out there is still visiting this blog, come and visit me there. All it takes is a simple click. Click away!

Changes

noreply@blogger.com (Mai) — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 06:14:00 +0000

I don't know why but I suddenly got the urge to remove all my blog entries, so I did, without any second thoughts. *Okay, maybe I hesitated a little... for about 5 glorious seconds. LOL* Every once in a while I get the feeling that I might have to start over with my blog, usually I ~~delete~~ abandon the blog completely and start with a new URL, theme, basically the works, but I decided to stick to this and just remove everything from 2009 onwards.

To start off, every part of my life has changed now, except maybe a few little things of the old me that are still here. *I'm not perfect, so the faults are definitely still in tact. Haha*. So what exactly has changed?

Here's an incomplete, super unorganized, uhm... list(?):

I got MARRIED. *If we have known each other for the past 7 years, you probably know who I'm married to. =P*
I got Pregnant. =) ...with twins. <3 which means...
I am a neophyte Mom of TWO! crazzzyyyyy! O.O and definitely a...
Newbie wife as well
I gained weight... and I'm gradually losing it. *with twins, who needs to workout?*
I am exploring the world of cooking... and loving it!
I finally know how it feels like to get an operation *coz of the C-section* and
How it feels like to have an I.V.
I am proud to say that I have more patience!
and who knew that I would love being a Mom? =)

Change is not always good, but most of the time it's worth it. And, in my case, most of the changes I've been through have molded me into a better human being. *Which is good because I am now responsible for two new lives. Aside from my own. =P*

Oh, let me introduce you to my little angels,

Sophie

and Soleil

Here's to changes! And more entries to come. *Hopefully, if I have the time. Haha.*
