Back to Pilates Class Yesterday

I was a little surprised with the Pilates studio class attendance yesterday. The festive is over and I thought it would be a full class but there were only two of us. And though it was just two of us on the machine, we had a good workout and I had a good session still. [...]

Back to Pilates Class

The festive break is over and it’s back to the grind of parenting, work and daily routine. Tomorrow, I’m back to my Pilates class – woohoo! Last week was a crazy one for me with all the traveling and social gatherings. I met up with few old classmates and we had lots of food and [...]

Let’s Talk About Rome

Spending Time with the family

This afternoon, hubby and me took a break and went for our long awaited movie date. We’ve been waiting to watch Avatar in 3D for so long and so glad we did it today! It’s amazing to watch those special effects on 3D… it just goes to show how technology has transformed the way we [...]
