Campbell Soup I like!

As a responsible mother, I try not to use the short-cut too many times. Using canned foodstuff is punishable by alcohol poisoning in my books but once in a while, I go with it because I need to keep some of my hair from falling because I am all stressed out! But on Friday, my kids were in school and I was hungry after Body Pump (you get hungry A LOT when you exercise) but I didn't want to chow down on yet another meal (I ate beef pie in the morning after gym session) so I grabbed one of the cans and said to myself, 'A can of creamy chicken mushroom soup is not going to kill me and it won't add much more to the cellulite on my thighs. Go with it lah!' The good thing is that it is fantastically convenient and yummy when you add other stuff with it or eat it with pasta (which I swear, I didn't!!). I prefer soups thick but it would be too salty if I drank/ate it thick so in went a lot of water. There were a few pieces of chicken (I think) in there but...alas, where is the mushroom? It says there got mushroom but I don't see or taste any. Anyway, I thought it was OK....maybe it dissolved into the creamy soup or maybe it was disguising itself as one of the clumps that I didn't manage to dissolve from the soup. Overall, I like it. It makes a simple meal and is flexible enough. Most importantly, it doesn't put as many calories into your body like a lasagna (oh boy....) will and it is most definitely cheaper too.

Stargazer - Stretch Those Sides

I have been doing this pose, part of Cosmic Dance (a type of yoga, I am assuming), called Stargazer pose without knowing it is called Stargazer's pose a lot in the past. You see, sometimes, I don't follow the rules and come up with my own stretches and poses. It is fun. I have on some music, nice, soothing music or just anything I can click on. Then I go with the flow, letting my hair down. Just moving to the music...and that is when I come up with the above Stargazer's pose. This pose really stretches your sides. Keep your eyes on the outstretched hand if you are keeping it pointed to the top, as if you are waving or connecting to a higher energy from the Universe. Your arms will ache a little but hey, toned arms, here you come! :-) For those who want a bigger stretch, it is safe to slowly and gently move the lifted hand towards your back...don't overdo it, listen to your body's complaints and respect it. You don't have to prove anything to anyone, reme

Maid Side-Kick

I was kind of a little sad when I read the news about this - there will be no live-in Indonesian maids in Malaysia anymore . There are pros and cons to having a live-in maid, as with everything else, but for us, we enjoyed more pros than cons. Back then, when my kids were little, we brought in a family of maids to help with...well, just about everything, and we were like two families merged into one. They ate what we ate, we sleep, they sleep, we shop, they shop, they joke, we laugh, we joke, they laugh...for me, the maid I hired was more like a sister and side-kick to me. For that few years, I was dependent on her to mind-read my schedule and when I need or don't need help. She picked things up quickly and we ended up having lots of moments whereby we were in sync. Today, two of them are on my Facebook and we were gleefully chatting over Facebook Messenger since they've just discovered the wonders of the Internet and Social Media. Since we were more like partners in crim

Project Wolf Hunting (2022) - Film Review

Less than 10 minutes into the movie, I was already wondering why am I watching this show, and in the dead of the night.  But I was thinking to myself, I've toughened up quite a bit when it comes to things like these... Happiness , Signal , Sweet Home , Alice in Borderland , Vagabond , City Hunter , Tunnel ...these crime and sci-fi dramas and films I endured just so that I can watch my favorite actors in action...they must have really built me some mental muscles.  Usually, I am the late kind because I want to see what everyone has to say about it...so that I am prepared.  I will just present you with reasons to watch and reasons NOT to. Here goes.  REASONS TO WATCH If you like Seo In Guk , Jung So Min , Jang Dong Yoon , Sung Dong Il , or maybe even Im Ju Hwan , you might want to endure this film.  Hint : If you're a fan of Jang Dong Yoon, maybe watch it.  It's interesting. I know we have a lot of post apocalyptic world films all over the place now but this is a little diffe
