Mon: Arnis Tues: Gym Weds: Gym Thurs: Spanish Fri: drinks with friends Then my workload got abit crazy, I moved out of the city, quit my gym and started travelling. So basically, I just ended up living really unhealthily for abit and [...]

ethical eating
Posted June 16th, 2010 by mayni | 2 CommentsThis morning, I decided to get a pie for brekkie like I do some mornings. I walked up to the stall, looked at the list and almost said outloud, “steak and mushroom, please” before managing to stop myself in time. I almost forgot my new ethical eating diet. So, I ended up with a vege [...]
Book review 4
Posted February 17th, 2010 by mayni | No CommentsI recently finished 2 more books over the holidays. The reason for this somewhat slow development is that when I was back home, I just caught up on my Lat magazines. Anyway, the two books I read in the last month+ has been very well worth the read. Valley of the Horses This is the [...]
oh be gone, you FAT!
Posted January 25th, 2010 by mayni | No CommentsThe other day, I was standing in front of my mirror in my bikini and freaked out at the sight of my gut hanging out just above my bikini bottom. Alright, fine, it isn’t that bad, but there is definitely an area now where the sun won’t hit when I’m standing upright. That led me [...]
photography (2)
Posted January 15th, 2010 by mayni | No CommentsWhen I was back in Penang recently, I finally learnt how to use my beginners’ SLR camera. It was great finally learning how to fix the exposure and shutter speeds manually on the huge ass camera. However, although the pictures came out sharper than I would normally get on a normal point and shoot, I [...]
homemade project update
Posted December 20th, 2009 by mayni | No CommentsI finally managed to find some free time to get my ingredients the other day. The shop carried most of the items I wanted except for Aloe Vera gel (so I ended up just cutting the leaves off my plant for it). (The lady who worked there was hopeless though, which ended up with me [...]
homemade project
Posted December 10th, 2009 by mayni | No CommentsEver since I moved to Australia, I find myself constantly going “Wtf? $60 for this?? No.Freaking.Way. I can make this myself!”. I always whinged about it but never did anything. I mean, sure, I started trying to grow my veges (I just hope it sprouts fruit before it dies – it’s like a fight against [...]
my iphone
Posted November 16th, 2009 by mayni | No CommentsSo I figured I should write something bout the iphone I just purchased. I have had it for less than a week and I hadn’t managed to put it down for more than an hour at a time (guiltily, even at work). It is highly addictive mainly due to how interactive it can be. It’s [...]
vege patch update
Posted November 15th, 2009 by mayni | 1 CommentI’ve recently expanded my vege patch. After the initial fiasco with my chili (and later my basil after the hail incident), I figured, spring is here, might as well restock. So off I went to Bunnings to the garden section and beelined straight to the herbs and vege area. I was surprised to find that [...]
photography
Posted October 15th, 2009 by mayni | No CommentsA few of my friends have picked up photography in recent years and have actually done very well for themselves. As a matter of fact, one of my friends gave up his job and now work as a freelance photographer. It makes me wonder though – if it looks so easy, wouldn’t that mean that [...]
