Pieces of Me: 2014

My Kitchen Rules S5

My Kitchen Rules season 5 TV’s show officially ended yesterday. This show was actually my life saver these past weeks, my source of vitamins and happiness and now it’s already ended, I don’t know what to do with my life anymore. I don’t know where I can find cure for my empty days. I can’t move on with my life anymore.

Ok sorry, that’s a bit overrated.

I tune in to MKR S5 from the very first episode, and since that, I got hooked up. Even though I felt a bit disappointed as my favorite team didn’t won but overall, I LOVE LOVE LOVE this show!

FYI, it’s a bit kind of like those realities cooking show but with a different version. And I definitely chose this show as the best reality cooking show. EVER.

I love both judges, Manu Feildel and Pete Evans. I think they are very liability and fun. They’re not like such reality show’s judges whose sometime can be annoying and fake. I actually like three teams.

But most of all, I really love contestant Chloe and Kelly! OMG I really like these girls. When I read that most of audiences in Australia (MKR is Australian’s based TV show) hated them, I was like, WHAT THE HELL IS THEIR PROBLEM?

For me, Chloe and Kelly is a very fun, talented, brave and strong contestant. Their character might be a bit naughty and trash talking ‘as they said’ but I found them very interesting! Both Chloe and Kelly actually have different personality. Chloe is more calm and matured, while Kelly is more on the happy go crazy type.

But having said that, I think they were actually the only team that cooperates very well! While the other teams get easily stressed, they can still cook with a smile on their face. I cheered them for that. Despite the stress and all, they are also the only team with the ability to cook ‘outside the box’ dishes. They’re fearless and creative with their choice of dish.

So I want to declare here that Chloe and Kelly is definitely deserved to be in the Grand Final despite the bad rumors. They might only got second place but in my heart, they‘re already the winner. To be honest I think it’s very unfair that people said that they’re bullies.

Well, hello??? They’re actually being honest. It’s proven that they are not bullies because although they said bad things to the other team especially Helena and Vikki, when it comes to give mark, they still giving it purely based on the dishes.

As for me, I actually think Helena and Vikki is the mean one. I don’t like them as they always pretend like weak to gain attention. Their dishes are always about Greek and they didn't dare to get out from their comfort zone.

Anyway, congratulations Chloe and Kelly! Congratulation to Bree and Jessica too for being crowned MKR S5 champion.

Last but not least, let's take a look at the many faces of Chloe and Kelly! Well, especially Kelly. LOL

My second favorite team. Thalia and Bianca

My third favorite team. Uel and Shanelle

The two team that made to the grand final.

Bree & Jess VS Chloe & Kelly.

Yoon Eun Hye Hair

So it's been a year since I last cut my hair. Actually I did cut my bang which Mr Fiance didn't actually approved.

Anyway, I think it's time to cut my hair again. Well, not exactly cut it actually, because I needed my long hair for my wedding so perhaps, a little layer and trimming should be fine.

I want Yoon Eun Hye hair in I Miss You like this:

With a lot of layer so it get the messy look.

But I know that it will always turn out like this:

EXPECTATION

REALITY

So maybe I should stick with Yoon Eun Hye's hair *keciwa kunun*

My Dream Body

After seeing how ridiculously hot Cha Seung Won even in his 40s, I felt very, I mean very and insanely DEVASTATED. How can someone aged so gracefully? I know he’s also a model so he must stay as handsome as he is. But he looks freaking gorgeous!

He is the reason I stay away from carbs nowadays gosh thank you for making me feel ugly oopa!! LOL.

Anyway, to be honest, his body is the body I wish my partner have hahah (just a wish ok dear). I really love tall guy with abs and skinny leg. I know I sound ridiculous but that’s my dream guy.

As for my dream body, I don’t delusional much about it actually. I appreciate my body the way it is. Just hoping on loosing few kilos as I’m not in the safe-weight-zone anymore, if you know what I mean. And I heard people said if someone are to lose weight, the first fat to go will be the fat in their boobs. That’s very unfair because I love my current boobs now heh.

Nonetheless, if I ever want someone else body, I want to look like these girls. .

Skinny but tall like Gong Hyo Jin

or someone who get curves and not afraid to show it like Bea Alonzo here.

I know there's a lot more woman with beautiful bodies especially in Hollywood but these are just two of my favorites. They're both were actually a realistic example, aren't they? Hehe.

The Greatest Love & Emergency Couple - Cha Seung Won

It’s end of month again. Tomorrow is PH yay! Just finished two K-Drama which is The Greatest Love and Emergency Couple. At first, I didn’t think these two dramas will hook me up. But then, both these drama is JUST AWESOME!

The Greatest Love starred Cha Seung Won and my all time favorite, Gong Hyo Jin. I never like Cha Seung Won before because I think he’s too old and plastic LOL. The only reason I bought the CD was because of Gong Hyo Jin, plus, the CD store owner kept recommended it.

So the storyline revolve around famous but arrogant (as usual, bad boy type) named Dokko Jin and the not-so-popular actress, Ko Ae Jeong. They hate each other at first, but you know, later then fall for each other. Nothing special about the storyline or the character but I still love them both.

You will notice that Cha Seung Won’s is a bit over exaggerating, but I think it matched well with his character. Plus, if you’ve seen him in his other comedy film such as Ghost House, he was actually funny despite his tough and bad character in Athena.

Actually I didn’t fall hard for him in the drama, but one thing I do is his HOT BOD OMG!! He’s already in 40s though. And he’s married with 2 children! I mean I know actor will looks like one but I really like his body. He’s tall (full mark for that LOL), and he doesn’t have gigantic body but tough enough to impress me!

OK. I WANT SOMEBODY LIKE THAT.

Here are some pics to drooling for….

Look at him. Look at him! He's a model too. His height is 1.87m, he got abs, and skinny legs! He TOTALLY got me!

OMG OMG OMGGG!!! hahah

And to be fair, this is one of poster for The Greatest Love. Cha Seung Won with Gong Hyo Jin.

As for Emergency Couple, I bought it because Kang Gary is doing a cameo and I want to see the scene so bad hahah lame. Unfortunately, to be honest, I think Kang Gary cannot act and he’s so bad at it that I think he should just focus on singing, rapping and RM lol.

The thing is, I never thought I will fall in love with this drama! Song Ji Hyo and Choi Jin hyuk’s chemistry is just so real and they look so compatible with each other! Kang Gary must be really hurt hahah.

Emergency Couple tell story about two people who get married in their 20s, and get divorce after a year. Oh Chang Min and Oh Jin Hee later pursue on being a doctor and met 6 years later in a hospital as an intern. I really LOVE LOVE LOVE this drama! Their storyline is so fresh and exciting. I also love how they included some of medic-related scene.

And here are some pictures I stole from internet.

This is Gary and Ji Hyo's scene hehe

The casts

One of my favorite scene!

The ER team :)

So there goes my daily life. After all the excitement, I also get headache and crammed neck for sitting too long in front of laptop.

6 Rules to Follow to Lose 2kg in 1 Week

If you know me, like seen me face to face before this, you know the fact about my super curvy (thank God I still have shape even though I'm fat lol) body, aite? (And yeah, gf, if you read this, you are the only one who knew how much I weigh so I might just have to kill you if you tell anyone about it ok hehe)

Anyway, this is not another lame post about how stressed I am because of you-know-what. Furthermore, before this, I've post about one strict diet on how to lose 7kg in 7days right. I'm, myself, admitted that I'm not capable to follow the diet because one, I hate veges, and secondly, I'm not motivated enough to actually commit to such hell lol. Besides, it's not about how bad you want it, it's about how hard you're willing to work for it.

So ladies, I actually have confession to make. I manage to lose 2kg in one week! And most importantly, it's not because of magic pill, excessive exercise, or starving to death! I can swear to you it's merely in a natural way. Want to know the secret? Stay tune to my next post!

Just kidding.

Let's spread the words now :)

Rules 1
No sugar drink, no sweet treats, and big NO-NO to SUGAR! I found this easy peasy for me as I don't like sweet thing much. If I had too much sugar, I feel like vomit so yeah, I managed to follow this rule. Did you know, according to Mayo Clinic, one teaspoon of sugar contains 15 calories, and most consumer take up to 22 teaspoon per day which contribute to 330 calories per day! This is why it's very easy to gain weight only from sugar consumption.

Rules 2
Drink LOTS and LOTS of plain water. This is very important as our body need to stay hydrated so drink at least 8 glass of water everyday. I made sure I drink at least 1500ml water throughout the day.

Rules 3
Add green tea in your routine. I would drink at least 800ml green tea per day to boost my metabolism. As stated, green tea had a lot of benefits and one of it is to help increase and change our metabolism, so we burn more calories from fat. Limit your intake to 2 to 4 cups per day. Remember, don't add green tea to a boiling water ok. 160-170 degree will do. You can also opt for lemon water.

Rules 4
Stay away from iced drinks. Believe me, I've tried this. If you want to get rid of flabby belly, you should not drink iced water. Aim for warm water. Even after eating my lunch, I prefer warm chinese tea.(As for now lol)

Rules 5
As for my workout routine, every morning after waking up, I'll practice some yoga pose (OMG I really love yoga!) for 10min, 30reps squat, 30reps sit up and 30reps leg lifting, and plank for 30seconds lol. I woke up late so I should finish this in 30mins hehe. Other than that, don't forget to do some cardio. I will go for a jog / brisk walking for at least 45mins or 3km per day in the evening. After that I will do 30reps of skipping.

Rules 6
This is a very crucial part as you need to get yourself in a full discipline. Yeah, no fast food, no junk food and no meals after 9pm. (I've been fighting with myself over this matter as I love fast food too much,okay!)

And so the rest is up to yourself. For more motivation, please surround yourself with fitness related, fits people, and fits quotes! I know this won't be easy. I've struggled myself out and I don't know if I can repeat this every week but every possibility start with believe so start believing now to make every possibilities happen.

Last but not least, I maybe lose 2kg following these rules, but every each of us have different BMI, BMR, height, weight and age so if you haven't see any result, just maybe, this rules are not for you, okay! Then don't hate me afterward lol.

P/s : Counting down exactly 25 days before the day.

How To Lose 7kg in 7days!

And nope. I haven't done it yet LOL. Apparently, I read about this in one of my favorite magazine. The thing is, it is a VERYYY simple one OKAY. So how do you lose 7kg in a week? It's not magic, it doesn't require much, and exercise definitely does NOT involve. This is merely clean diet and detox.

Now, are you ready? So here it is:

DAY 1
For day 1, you need to eat ONLY fruits, and when I said fruit, it's certainly not involve fruit in can, or processed fruit (aka jeruk) ok. The fruits should be eaten without any artificial flavor, no amoi, no sugar, no etc. You can eat any fruit EXCEPT banana. Remember to drink A LOT of plain water.

DAY 2
Eat ONLY vegetable on the second day. You can eat any type of veges including potato. The trick is to BOIL them, not fry, or grill. As usual, drink 8 cups or more plain water throughout the day.

DAY 3
Combine fruits and veges intake on the 3rd day. Eat fruits for breakfast, and salad for lunch. For dinner, you can eat both but with a smaller portion. Avoid banana and potato in your meals.

DAY 4
As for day 4, you are advised to eat only banana and milk. You can either mix them for smoothies, or eat separately. Use only low fat milk.

DAY 5
After a week of hell (LOL), you can now eat a small bowl of rice for breakfast and lunch. Unfortunately, you can only eat it with boil tomatoes (ok, still in hell) and as for dinner, you should only eat veges and fruits. Don't forget to drink up to 15 cups of plain water throughout the day.

DAY 6
You still can eat small bowl of rice for breakfast but for lunch and dinner, you can only take veges and fruits. By this time, you'll surely feel like giving up, but stay motivated, OKAY!

DAY 7
Lastly, you can eat small bowl of rice, veges and fruits. You may also drink juices.

Note: REMEMBER, NO SUGAR intake for the whole week. And do consult with your doctor before starting this routine, OKAY!

Anyway, good luck, guys!

MH370

Aiyahhh ST~RESSSS!!!

Been under a lot of pressure lately and I don't even know why. Somebody just punch me now @_@

Well, it's day 4 and MH370 still missing. Let us continue our prayer ok.

Anyway, if you're in the same boat like me now, here's one interesting advertisement I found on the internet. Did I mention that I've studied advertising before? Well, I think this ads is cool huh.

So Colgate have created an advertising campaign to promote their dental floss. So before you scroll down, take some time to appreciate the following photos:

Done?

Alright, now that you had time to observe the photos, in the first photo, you will notice that the lady had extra finger. In the second photo, one oddly arm is resting on the guy's shoulder, while in the last photo, the guy has only one ear....

Well the campaign attained its purpose, because it is however proved that food remaining on your teeth draw more attention than physical defect LOL.

Right. Whatever.

P/S: I'm sorry that the title is not fit with the post.

Running Girl!

Yes, I'm the real running girl. Not Song Ji Hyo. (Lol, kidding)

Well, maybe a part of me. I've been a loyal joggers for like what, 5weeks? OK. So running will always be my 1st love. Yeah, I love running more than any other exercises. Unfortunately, 3 weeks ago, I got injured. My legs, yeah, my precious legs, suddenly feels hurt. Whenever I started jog, there's this unimaginably pain on my left thigh and somewhere in my calf.

The problem is, I've been ignoring the pain for at least 1 week because I guess that's just another cramp due to my sudden daily exercise. The pain hasn't stop even though I didn't run anymore, just brisk walking. I was very disappointed with myself. Furthermore, my friends is running round by round, leaving me with this useless and unwanted 'feeling'!

It was already 1 week since I stop my daily jog. Part of it is because of my leg, and part of it is because of the weather. Yeah, those rain had always ruined my plan!

Nevertheless, running with a tracker is more fun. I'm using Runkeeper apps, which can track your distance, burned calorie, and your average minimum phase. So if you ever saw me running while holding my hp, it is not because I'm showing off or what OK, it is certainly because I need to track my running so I get to improve myself. Get it? (Because the other day, I heard two girls bad mouthed about me because of that. Shame on them huh?) Actually I'm planning on investing some money for heart rate watch but not right now. Maybe later hehe.

Anyway, my plan was actually to loose some weight by jogging for 3 months before hitting the gym to tone my body (sounds ambitious, aite? hahah) for at least 2 month because I need to get my weight down before May! Well, yeah, because I got something big going on somewhere in May or June.

The thing is, the weather didn't give a damn about my plan! It keeps raining every evening, I guess there will be no one whole sunny day for the next few days. So I'm actually planning on moving the hitting gym date forward. But still have no idea which gym should I go? And surely that's definitely gonna need money huh.

And here's some proof of my daily jog :) All photos taken from my Instagram because apparently, I've updated my daily exercise in there to motivate myself hehe. Follow me on IG: sterlazarus

That's all for now. Chiao.

Anyway, I'm so happy because he won!

Ep 50 & Ep 51

This is when RM shooting in Thailand. At the time I watch this, I got so jealous.Why did they go to Thai, why not Sabah? Lol. RM got really shocked (Me too. I thought I'm the only one crazy about RM) when there is a lot of fans waiting for them in the airport.

Haha. This is when Gary admitted he like Kim Min Jung.

The members trying to wake Gary up.

But apparently, Gary's room look a mess. And guess what?

He sleep naked! Lolol!

And gosh! This was the 1st time I realize his hot *woot woot* body! :P (but you still the num 1 in my heart, dear hehe)

This is when Jae Suk didn't recognized Gary even though Gary was just standing there.

Ep 60
I actually hate this episode because the other member is like trying to fool Kang Gary but you guys have to watch this because it is too Funny!

Ep 63

This is when Girls Generation was the guests and paired up with each RM members.

Gary is paired with Jessica. FYI, I started to like Jessica after I watch this episode lol.

Jessica with her stre~~ss!! (After watched this ep, I also can't get this word outta my head for at least 2 weeks haha. That's explained how crazy I am for Kang Gary!)

Because of them, I started to love this song

Ep 74

This episode is sure my favorite! Not just because of the theme, which was RM with supernatural abilities, but it is also because my Kang Gary won for the 2nd time as the Ultimate Champion! Ohh Yeahhh! This is one MUST WATCH, guys!

Ep 80

Charlie's Angels episode

Ep 86

This one biased one, because I love Ha Ji Won, so automatically it became my favorite too hehe

Ep 94

The Bride Race! Sorry, Kang Gary won again! Lol

Ep 114 & Ep 115

This is the time when Gary decided to quit RM and the shooting was delayed but fortunately he cancelled his plan! Moon Geun Yeung was the guest and there is a lot of romance going on between her and Jong Kook in this ep lolol. Totally must watch too!
