Like everyone in this world, I have been obsessively & compulsively reading the TWILIGHT SERIES (or saga rather =]) I absolutely love the book by Stephanie Meyer, she's a true author. I practically read a book a day. For those who have not read it, its a book I totally recommend it. It's so good, that I initially borrowed the book of my 13 year old cousin, decided to buy all 4 books after reading it to keeps. Although, I want to criticize the author's grammar and some of the wording that she used in the context of her writing. I think she could've made a better attempt with some of the wording, but nevertheless she does have one heck of a imagination to write such a book with fine context. (Then again, I don't think I would've done any better)
I have watched the movie last week with a friend, what I can say is that it's nothing compared to the book. Theres were so many bits that has been cut out and totally fabricated out of context from the book itself. Nevertheless, I thought the movie was GREAT =) but the book is just better lol. My friend that never read the book, thought it was great. I reckon Robert Pattinson made a great effort portraying as Edward Cullen, I don't think anyone could've done a better job, then he did. I think I have fallen for Robert Pattinson (though, I never liked him as Cedric Diggory in HP) , he's portrayal made me fall for him in the film. Although, I think he looks better in the movie compared to real life with his shaggy hair, although apparently he just cut of his locks I can imagine all those girls that are obsessing over him. Seriously, I couldn't take my eyes of the screen while watching the movie, he literally hypnotised me with his good looks as Edward Cullen. I think Kristen Stewart, could do a better job as Bella Swan in the movie. I didn't like her portrayal in the movie, it didn't seem like the character in the book. I can't wait for the New Moon to come out next year =)

Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) bite me lol....

I know, I have been quiet the last couple of weeks or three weeks (perhaps

). I've been going out everyday straight for the last two weeks. Oh boy, it's tiring I tell you! From Club Crawling on the weekends and Retail Therapy during the week. Been to a few Yum Cha lunches and Oh boy, have I turned in to flubbar again from eating out in general

Funny enough, a couple of weeks I was on my detox diet, which I totally decided to ditch half way through the course, i.e a week ( it was suppose to go for two weeks). I'm glad I did or otherwise, it would've made my going out experiences during the holidays very unenjoyable!
I went to a local Dymocks store at a local Westfield, and picked up a book from one of those books listed in the top ten section. I thought the book I picked, looked quite interesting. I'm reading this book called '
It's Just a Date!: How to Get 'em, Read 'em, and Rock 'em'
by
Greg Behrendt (Author),
Amiira Ruotola-Behrendt (Author). It's actually quite interesting. It's taught me a few things and opened perspectives about getting/being in a relationship. By reading it,it has also change my perspective on how I see my own world as well. It's a girly motivational book. I'd recommend any female from 18+ above to read it. It's quite a good book. I just bought it yesterday, and I've read 3/4 of the book already.

Well, I have detoxed for the last 4 days, following the famous Lemon Detox Diet that was adapted by Beyonce, who used it to lose weight for her role in 'Dream Girls' which from various sources stated lost approximately 20lbs over a 11-14 day period. The diet involves drinking a concoction of lemon juice, maple syrup (notably madal bal maple syrup) and water, for up to 14 days. The purpose of this diet is to abstain yourself from solid food for the whole detox period and let your body cleanse itself.
From my perspective, a person that has studied nutrition at uni, what I am doing to my body is unethical, from some one of a scientific background.. I'm actually putting my health at risk, in the long run. Abstaining myself from food, I'm not getting the full Recommended dietary intake (RDI) of all the essential vitamins and nutrients. My friends have been telling me, have you not learnt anything from nutrition and you know that you're going to put on weight in the long run. My other friend told me, theres gotta be another way around this Shirley. You can't do this you know your hurting your health in the long run.I think I have actually upset my friends, but I am not doing it to lose weight. I am doing it to cleanse my body from toxins from bad eating habits and in away by doing this I am 'breaking a habit' to rejuvenate myself, hopefully by the end of this detox I'd be able to eat healthy once again. In doing so, I think I'm a hypocrite, i say that people should not deprive oneself from food, here I am doing it.
I do know what I am doing is wrong, and unhealthy, and probably asking me, why don't I just start off eating healthy? Well, the thing is I have tried time and time again, and every time it just falls apart or fails. Sometimes, when it goes to the extent where consultation and support doesn't work anymore,then you get desperate and explore other alternatives and options, that you may think it will help you get on track. Thats what I did. After purchasing it, I felt guilty initially even of the thought of doing it, but then a part of my mind kept saying 'life's too short, to worry about stuff etc etc'...the next minute it was 'what the heck.. bring it on' so thats how I started. I did put alot of thoughts into it. I did promise myself, that in anyways if there was obvious signs, that it was making me seriously ill, that I would stop at that instance. So, far there hasn't been any side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, lethargy etc. I admit the first two days was hard without eating, with cravings and my stomach grumbling for food to enter its space.
I feel pretty bad, I know my friends care about me and what I'm doing feeling really bad. Even just the thought of what they think, makes me just want to stop. But if I stop right at this instance, I would never know what would be at 'the end of the rainbow' Weirdly, I'm craving for healthy food nows. I realise how much food is apart of my life, it plays such a significant role in my social life. I have to agree my social life has been abit low profile since detoxing.
