Project: Bikini Body!

Hello awesome people!

It's come to that time again, where I strive to be healthy and active (Remember Active Sunday?). It started four months ago when I woke up in the morning thinking, "Am I really going to die without ever knowing what it's like to wear a bikini?" That's what I thought. Then I told myself that this was the year I found out what it's like. Think about it. I'm at the prime of my life. I'm a twenty-something now. It's the time to enjoy going out and fashion without limits! I'm already on three months and I've lost 7kg from being vegan and hitting the gym. But that's bored me out a little. So I've changed my strategy. I've started the Insanity Workout Program and I'm on day 3. My muscles are sore, but it's a rewarding feeling, knowing that it will all soon be worth it.

Follow me on my quest to have a bikini ready body! And I hope that this isn't another of those weight-loss posts...okay maybe it is. I'll keep you updated on my progress, and hopefully, pics- glorious pics!

Until next time...

The Secret

Hey guys!

I'm not sure if the cover says it all. I'm putting this whole positive thinking and universe thing to the test. I'm at a point in my life where I find it hard to believe in anything because I have so many questions and doubts. So I'm going to be positive about everything. I want it resonate from the walls of my being and beyond. One of my best friends and I did this Chakra test thing one time and the results were, I had no connection with my spirituality. One month, that's all I'm giving it. Try it with me, if you're a lost soul like me. Go buy yourself a copy of The Secret and familiarize yourself with the concept first. Does positive thinking really get you what you want?

Until next time...

You're kidding, right?

Helloooo

Here’s one for you: one day, I would like to get a job on the side as a food critic. Yep, me! a critic. So yesterday was one of my best friend’s 21^st birthday, and we decided to go to this really expensive restaurant in town, to celebrate. When we were already seated, I called for the manager and told her about my intentions to review the restaurant for my blog (I was testing the waters, really. Under normal circumstances, a restaurant critic just shows up, eats and goes home to write a review, without revealing their identity.). So after silent panicking (I could see it in her eyes), she told me that she had to consult with her bosses first. She came back to us and said that I wasn’t, under any circumstances, allowed to review, nor take pictures of the restaurant, in case I should write something negative about them! Yes, she said that. Also, we couldn’t even take pictures of ourselves for memory’s sake, eating there. That is ridiculous. If I want to review the place, I can. To avoid negative reviews from aspiring critics like myself, an eatery should be on their A game at all times.

Even though I was just testing them, the kind of respond I got, left me even more determined to introduce this kind of thing in my country; make it more popular if it already exists. This will avoid many people, getting stupid statements about reviewing not being allowed from service providers, just like I did. I didn’t let it ruin my evening though. I thought the service from the restaurant waiters, was actually quite good. They were attentive and they always smiled. Even though the food wasn’t extraordinary, the good company and good laughs I had, more than made up for it...As for the bill, let’s keep expensive restaurants for ‘employed Ziggie’! lol.

Until next time...

The Great Pretender

Hello and hello! (Dusting and removing all the cobwebs)

Phew, it's been a while you guys. I didn't even post about my birthday, which was a month ago. I think I just got lost in...life. You know how it is: when life gives you lemons, but you can't make lemonade quickly enough. Then you don't want to do anything, but sit all day and think about a new strategy, while watching seasons of Supernatural and Merlin and Glee. In my absence from the blogging world, I've grown up a lot. I've met so many people and opportunities, I've learnt to accept my talents and who I am, I've discovered that taking the little things as they come might be better than planning ahead (let my hair down a little), and I've solidified many friendships. During this process, I couldn't come on Ziggie Talk and pretend like everything is alright. It's very hard to hide distress under a smile on my face, even though I do it well in reality. I've just run out of things to write about on this blog, because of that.

I just hope I'm back! There should be a new direction and schedule, and I just hope my 'readership' has not totally deserted me O.o. Until next time...
