Today's date: 17 September 2011. Weight: 86kg Height: 168cm Weight to lose: 4kg Dateline: 30 September 2011 Diet Program: South Beach Diet (Pre) Phase 1 Remark: Cutting carb intake to maximum of 100gr per day. Before trying the diet program thoroughly, I created this pre-phase program just to make my metabolism ready to get off of the carb completely based on the South Beach Diet Phase 1, as I found it difficult to stay away from rice for most of Indonesian, especially me. Therefore, I will take a tiny little step as first attempt to lose 21kg in less than 4 months. I can do this! Bismillah...

Lying can never save us from another lie. Therefore here I am trying to let myself go from the circle of lies by saying I apologize that I have lied to people that I respect. Nothing from my behavior is worth forgiveness but I ask for it anyway. I regret for having told the half truth and understand that it would still be a lie. I have my reason for not telling the truth, it is understandable that I should have not lied for what ever the reason is. I was intended not to hurt anybody's heart by keeping the truth for myself, I wasnt thinking that I am going to hurt them eventually and the impact could have been even worst I am ruining my own reputation as a good friend, honest friend. I wish I can still be seen as someone who has the integrity although I truly accept that this one single lie has destroyed a whole reputation of integrity. I lied so many times to those who gave me the opportunity to grow, I let them down despite for all the good things they have given me. I say, n...

We see lots of Filipino here in UAE, they are everywhere across the country, they are in supermarkets, shops, and even streets. Yes they are one of the major nationalities who reside in UAE. But they are not the only one. How about other Malay like Malaysian, Singaporean, Brunei, and the most same-looking nationality: Indonesian? They -together with the Filipino- reside in UAE too. My dear Filipino friends apparently do not have any idea about this fact. To greet fellow Filipino in Tagalog (Filipino Language) is a polite way to communicate among them, and to speak in English seems to be considered rude. In many occasions they greeted me in Tagalog, I explained (and even apologized) that I don't speak Tagalog. Instead of appreciating  my goodwill to avoid misunderstanding they frowned. It confuses me, why do they frown? Is it because the disappointment from unable to see their co-Filipino or is it a distrust? Why cant they accept the fact that this is a whole new era, where ...

Seriously, nice food doesn't have to be complicated. A simple presentation but taste super, that is just enough. Fazaris is one of the restaurant in town that offers that luxury to my tummy, thanks to the chefs who were so kind to cook for me. Located in The Address Downtown Dubai, Fazaris was an all day dining buffet restaurant until they change it into a'la carte for dinner. So there I was, enjoying my three course dinner with the company of my besty Shira. The hostess greeted us upon arrival and lead us to our table, the ambiance of the restaurant was little bit too dark yet so serene and cozy in a way. Behind our seat was Calabar, somewhat annoying with the sound of the music from inside the bar every time the door was opened, I could not care less. It was weekend the bar was full, people were coming and going, the seat was right next to the aisle toward the bar. A drunk man peek on our seat and laughed, what was so funny. The captain came and greeted us, offered the ...

Food is a real art... Some say, it is beautiful with its abstract. Some say it is plain nonsense.

Dinner plan tonight is off, I have no one to go with. I can't believe all of my friends are very busy just when I am about to give them complimentary dinner at Five Stars Hotel! So the problem was not money at all, they are really really busy.. Right, the winter is coming. KFC delivery for dinner, finger lickin' freakin' good! Enjoy weekend everyone.. :D

After some frowning going on, my husband decided to take a lieu day for spending more time with me. We baked a kilo of Kaastengels (Dutch Cheese Cookies), we spent our night walking along Dubai Marina Walk, and had Japanese "all you can eat" Sushi for only 89dhs with soft beverages and Miso soup. Not bad at all, I was not mad anymore. The birthday celebration isn't over yet. Tonight we plan for dinner at hubby's restaurant (Fazaris) at The Address Downtown Dubai, he said he will cook Wagyu for me and I can bring along some companies with me, ladies... anyone??
