5 months ♥

*warning! sappy, lovey-dovey post alert!* 

This 28th makes it 5 months.

I use to be one of those people who scorns those couples that profess their undying love for each other even after only 1-2 months of being together. I don't understand how they can be so sure in saying they will love each other forever and then break up after some time. What's the use then? 

As much as I am in love, I prefer showing it in different ways. Anything but that kind of way. Ugh. Too sappy for me. If they have been together for 3-4 YEARS, then I'd think it's ok to be proclaiming out loud how much they love each other and wanna spend the rest of their lives together. 

But now, I'll just have to take back whatever I've said before. 

I guess I kind of understand now. 

I'm sure this time I'll be scorned by another person out there. But I don't care.

People will say 5 months is still too short of a period to be certain. But I am absolutely sure about this. I've found the one. 5 months doesn't feel like 5 months at all. It seems like we've known each other since forever. Even with only 5 months, I know that thisguy here, this is my soulmate. :)

I've never shared this here before, but I have always believed that TIME plays an important role. Why? Let me explain here.

Although it has only been 5 months for us, we actually 'met' each other so much more earlier. We first 'met' way back in 2009. Yeap, 3 years ago. But at that time, we didn't know. All this came to was when one of his friend placed an order of cupcakes for her then boyfriend and also for him, for both of the boys shared the same birthday. Out of the many cupcakes we did, those batch was one I clearly remember. Because we stayed up til almost 2am still coming up with ideas on how to decorate them according to how the customer requested.

Fast-forward to April 2012, where we were sharing stories about ourselves and he was describing that one year where he had funny cupcakes during his birthday. As he started to describe how the cupcakes were, I stopped him, took out my tab, opened up our cupcake website and showed him a picture in it while asking whether those were his cupcakes. He was surprised and asked how did I knew. I just laughed and said, "I baked them." :) The look on his face after that, priceless.

Furthermore, for 4 years we've been staying in the same area. What are the chances that we've never passed by each other? His brother studies in the same Uni as I do, and the both of them went to the Uni's Open Day last year. And I did too!

So, we've had so many chances of getting to know each other earlier and save the both of us from heartaches and whatever silly mistakes that we've made. But no... It was only Nov 2011 that we met, really met for the first time. Although we usual lament about ehy didn't we met earlier, I'm actually glad we did not. Coz if we did, I guess we wouldn't be ready yet for each other. Mistakes that we did in our past changes us to be better, thus better for each other. So we finally met at the right time.

And now, 5 months.
I don't care what others will think or say. I am so much in love with this guy and ever so grateful to have finally met him. Things really feels different when you've found the one. And when I met him, I wasn't even looking or expecting for anything more.

It has been an amazing 5 months dear.
I pray for so much more to come.
I really can't wait to spend forever with you.

Calories Calories Calories

Obviously from the title, the topic for this post would be about calories.
I've gained weight, A LOT! This is by far the heaviest I've been. Oh, no no no. 2nd heaviest. The heaviest I've been was 3 weeks ago at 58kg. That's right, 58!

Current weight? 55.7kg. Yeap, Bit overweight for a person of my height (which is 150cm, fyi). 

Sooo.... been trying to get back on track. Burning calories and watching my intakes.
Been on the treadmill, trying to burn of at least 300 calories daily now. Phew! Have to really push myself to do so. Last year, I could burn of 500 calories easily on the treadmill. Why oh why did I let myself get lazy???

And so today, I've been doing cleaning the whole house. Up and down, in and out. Took me like almost 4 hours to get everything done, including the laundries and also cleaning the puppies. After all that, I hopped onto the treadmill and did brisk walking to burn off 200 calories only (coz I was tired). Then after a short rest, off I went to prepare lunch.

Wanna know how many calories I burnt from 8am til 2pm?

Mopping (1hr) - 143
Sweeping (1hr) - 131
Dusting & take out trash (15mins) - 21
Wash dish & clear table (15mins) - 21
Vacuuming (15mins) - 36
Cook & prepare meal (1hr) - 57
Laundry (15mins) - 14
Sweep outside house (15mins) - 43

Bathing dog, stand (1hr) - 143
Make bed (15mins) - 14
Scrubbing bathroom, sink (15mins) - 40
Treadmill (45mins) - 200
