4 Delicious Treats To Bury Your Cravings Once and for All

It's the 4th day and your diet is going smoothly according to plan. So far you've dodged sweets, fats, and carbs. Such pride of toppling the once unsinkable titans that led to the collapse of many weight loss dreams and social acceptance plaques. But you did.

Congratulations.

Then one night when the kitchen was silent and dark, you reached for the fridge as your body thirst for something liquid. You opened it and instantly cursed the person who left a box of original glazed Krispy Kreme doughnuts open; suddenly your tongue imagines the sensation of those sweet sinful cold doughnuts between your teeth.

Your suspicion was confirmed: the sweet tooth in you has been wearing the Ring of the Dark Lord Sauron all this time and was disguising as Samwise Gamgee in the group. It hungered, longed, bidding its time to finally taste that sweet preciousness waiting invitingly inside the green dotted box...

One simply cannot overemphasize the importance of a Plan B in times of great difficulty and temptation. It's not a sign of weakness: it's being realistic and smart. After all you're in the early stage of the lifestyle change you've been always dreaming. One mistake in the diet department could result to the collapse of your social- and physical-centric dreams and of the entire US economy.

3 Reasons Why People Avoid High School Reunions like the Plague

Remember Vitamin C and her high school anthem Graduation (friends forever)? Me neither.

While many would say high school was the happiest part of their growing-up years, there are others whose heart simply sinks every time the invitation for reunions gets to their inbox. Here are 3 of God-knows-how-many more reasons why some people don't attend high school reunions.

Awkward questions

"How many children do you have?", "Where do you work?","Why are you still single?" are some of the questions the criminal persecutor should be asking you and not your former classmate. This is exactly why you hated high school back then because you're expected to be just like everyone else. In this case, breeding machines.

Life is Unfair and Other Life Lessons Worth Sharing

It's been a year since I made that pivotal decision of moving to Cebu to start a new life. Of all the things I experienced in my first 12 months here, I gotta say these 3 lessons struck me the most: (And no, I still don't fancy Lechon).

Startin anew is tough, but it's gonna be worth it

Imagine the horror I felt seeing the condition of the place I'm supposed to be 'dwelling' for my tenure in the Queen city of the South. There's no bed, no seats, no chairs - just emptiness reminiscent of World War II or a flop concert. That's why it was so cheap!

My initial reaction was to go back to Iloilo City asap and pretend my resignation with my former company didn't happen and I was just too drunk that day (and I don't even drink, mind you). But I didn't. 

I cleared my mind, mustered every positive vibes I could get from that <too foul for the public> room. Also, I reminded myself I can't give up - I ain't givin them haters their damn satisfaction. I waited for my first salary and two weeks later I transferred to a much much better place.
