But first, food.

Surprisingly, everything we ordered so far are all tasty and delicious! 😋

Happy tummy...

From the nepali breakfast--chickpeas and egg (with chai) with sel roti and the not so sweet donut

to the heavier khana set (which includes lentils, some meat, vegetable, pickles, and rice)

to sweet desserts.

Have you had days when you just want to be fit in your old clothes and feel good about yourself? Pero you always fail?

You eat dessert instead of skipping it, or grab those bag of chips while you Netflix binge.

Well, you're not alone.

Wanna know why? because we tend to self-sabotage. Our future self cannot be trusted.

If you want to beat that, do what ultra successful people do:

They come up with solutions today to make sure their future self will do the right thing.

Take for example exercise and nutrition.

I know I need to exercise, but I tend to be lazy. So what do I do to defeat my self-sabotaging future?

I buy an 8 session package. I pay for those sessions upfront so that when my lazy self kicks in, it will be more painful for me to think about the money I will lose than to head to the studio. Sayang, mafo-forfeit. Makapunta na nga sa gym.

When it comes to nutrition, I know that oatmeal is healthier than rice for breakfast. [Hello 'silog, I love you and cannot resist you!]

So, in the evenings, I would soak a couple tablespoons of oats in water and let it sit overnight. When I wake up in the morning, I would be forced to eat the oatmeal kasi sayang if it goes to waste.

How about you? What do you keep saying to yourself you will do? Take your kids outdoors? Make more money? Pursue a new hobby?

How will you set yourself up for success?

A visit to Tagaytay is never complete without a view of the Taal Lake.

But have you ever tried being on the other side of the equation?

It's almost 6pm and my friend Nannie and I were rewarded with a view of Tagaytay ridge.

It's 3am, and I just laid down to sleep. Spent the last hour googling about Jetro Rafael, the man behind van gogh is bipolar (VGIB)--an unconventional restaurant serving mood-altering healing food.

The night before, my friend KC and I dined at Jetro's home-turned-restaurant, and we just can't get over the experience. Something about spending a few hours there left a lasting impact.. Continue reading here : http://cheaptravelforwomen.blogspot.com/2015/06/van-gogh-is-bipolar.html
