Which Diet Works Best?

I know! I know! Everybody who has seen me since I gave birth advises me to spend some time for exercise and watch what I eat. This is because I didnt only fail in loosing the pounds that I gained during pregnancy, but have been putting on weight as well since childbirth! I really dont know why this is happening to me (despite having limited sleep every single night since lil one came along) but perhaps the disturbed and lack of sleep that has caused my body system to go tipsy turvy? Well, at least this would be what I would love to think!

I tried dieting for a while sticking to low carbs and high on protein, then I got fed up. Then I started on a meal replacement diet and that didn't work out as well. So I got fed-up and decided to surf the web to find out which diet works best for my body. And guess what! Viola! I found the perfect place!

This place provides pretty much information of how each diet works. We have all heard of the Atkins Diet and WeightWatchers among others and what this site provides in their indepth review of each of the diets that is in town and how exactly it works best. Not only that. It also provides various different categories of diets, for example, meal based diets or calorie-counting diets, etc. So you get to read in detail how each works and then decide if that is the one you can follow through and sustain. Dont forget to browse through its many healthy recipes too as we all deserve a nice meal every now and then without feeling guilty, right?

I think I will take a look at this further and see if I can digest this into my current work and babysitting schedule not forgetting I finish work at almost 8pm everynight! But we got to start somewhere right? Good luck!

Planning a vacation

Its been really a long time since we went on a real holiday trip. Its like since I was preggie - and that is like almost 2.5 years ago! Gosh!

Since hubby has got some annual leave to clear this December, maybe I should suggest to him that we seriously consider a real good vacation. But I think i will start my planning first as usual cos hubby usually leave everything to me as far as planning for a vacation is concerned.

There are many sites that i love browsing through for real good vacation rentals, especially when you wish to scout for some good bargains for a florida vacation rentals and orlando vacation rentals! It has pretty much all the information you need about holidaying in any part of the US including services about car rentals, airline travels and even up-to-date information about weather and skiing conditions. And that's cool, so that should we decide to go, I can easily access all these information and be well prepared when packing, especially for lil one cos he has never travelled during winter time.

One other great service that this site provides is you can even list your own vacation home out for rental and get enquiries directly from people who are keen. So this eliminates the need for paying a commission to agents, etc. Isn't that great? Times are not looking good so this could be one option to consider for more savings.

Now let's see if hubby is game for a winter vacation ...!

Annoying Phone Calls!

I dont know about you but my mom always complaints to me that she occasionally received annoying phone calls at our home telephone number. Most of the time, they speak in English and will ask her a string of questions such as whether we have a water filter at home, or would she like to participate in their lucky draw, etc. etc.

I reminded mom that she should not entertain such calls and try to cut the conversation short and put down the receiver if they persist to talk to her.

Recently, a friend of mine told me about a site that allows harrasing caller report. I think that is pretty cool. This site actually allows you to related the incident and share this experience with others so that when others read it, they can then know what to expect from such calls. So whether its a sales call or just a wrong number, at least we are aware of such callers.

I might take a look at the site and provide my feedback.

Nationwide Phone LookUp

Being a Personal Assistant to a Chairman is no easy job. I am constantly on my feet when the boss is around and constantly on a look-out for all the answers to my "almighty's" questions!

One of my ever reliable "assistant" is the Nationwide Phone Lookup for the US. It works wonders for me as it is really easy to look up for any contact numbers of our suppliers and consultants in the US.

This is one resource that makes my job much easier. No hassle and no headache trying to locate for suitable contacts which are related to our core business. It has been my saviour for many years now.

Reverse Phone Numbers in Canada

My aunt lives in Vancouver, Canada .. and that's where all the Hong Kong moviestars live to ... hahaha. I guess Vancouver is preferred as there is a direct flight connecting these two cities.

However, I have never been there but instead would occasionally call her. And I would always use this free reverse phone look up for any canadian phone numbers you wish to locate.

You can easily start a reverse number Canada free reverse phone look up on any canadian phone number - type in the cell, home or business phone number and click search to run the canadian reverse phone directory look up.

Its really a breeze to use it. Very user friendly indeed. All you need to do is to type in the mobile, home or business phone number and click search to run the reverse phone directory look up. See - its easy right? Perhaps you should try to start one yourself. Its really convenient, trust me.

Football Season is Here!

Oh no! Its going to get crazy again at home! Cos dear hubby just told me that Carlsberg has just launched its online Carlsberg web tv!!!! Hubby told me that from tonight onwards, he would like to seek some "private time" for his favourite game, football :-(

You know, these days with web tv, it just gets easier and easier to enjoy all your favourite movies or games over the net.
http://www.partofthegame.tv/ is the latest launch and since Carlsberg is hosting this web tv game, I'm sure its going to be a big hit among its crazy football followers. Moreover, there are 5 channels!


www.partofthegame.tv


Since lil monster was born, both hubby & I hardly have our own "private time" to do things we love to do. He loves watching tv and spending time in front of his laptop whereas I love going for my full body & foot massage and watch "Sugar".

So since this is a "special" request from hubby, I think I should grant him his wish ..... so hubby, next week your turn to take care of lil monster while I go for my massage okay?
