♥ Love is red ♥
On April 10th, 2011, for the first time in my life I received a beautiful red rose, and it was from the man that I truly love. My last year's love confession turned out well even though I was rejected at first. Yes I was sort of rejected, but I never regret it, we're happily in love now. (✿◠‿◠) So ladies, don't be afraid to confess your feelings to the person you love. But remember, never force people to love you and good things do happen to those who wait!

☆ My 10 Favorite iPhone Applications ☆
2 Jan 2011: Happy 2011! (◕‿◕✿) New year, new phone. Many people have been using iPhone, while I just got mine on Dec 5th last year? Wow 2010 has gone. I'm not really into gadgets, so I don't really care about not being updated with the latest technology. My reason of having iPhone is simply because I want an easy modern organizer for 2011. I love writing but I'm very fussy with handwriting. I tend to tear my diary, book, etc. if I'm not satisfied with my handwriting even though many people claimed that I have nice and neat handwriting. I have my mom's gene. She does the same thing. Is this a sickness? (¬_¬) Now that I have my iPhone 4, I don't have to write, just type! Haa~ (╯▽╰)
Let me introduce... Viona, my sexy phone. I have this habit of naming some of my favorite stuff. (●*∩_∩*●)
I know I know I'm far behind with this iPhone thing, but I still wanna share this. Below are my top 10 favorite iPhone applications that I find so useful for organizing my life in this new year 2011. And best of all they are FREE.
#1 Your Life Clock: I salute the creator of this app. It has everything that I need in an organizer - calendar/planner, event scheduler, activity tracker, goal setting system and journal. You can add photos in it, record the time and money you spend on an activity, and view your life activity reports. You can give a passcode lock too, so that no one can easily access into your private life. Great isn't it! For more details, check yourlifeclock.com. Click on the image for a larger view.
# 2 My Secret Diary: This one is lovely, pinky and girly. It has a password lock too. I can add cute emoticons, photos and insert music in it. And it is so easy to use. Click on the image for a larger view.
# 3 Make It Count: Another cute application that helps you track your money. I love this. It looks childish, but no, this one is good for tracking your finance and your spending habit. That's why I put this as my # 3 favorite. Only one problem, it is not password protected. Click on the image for a larger view.
# 4 Target Weight: I love this one, your weight tracker with a passcode lock. It motivates me in my goal to lose weight this year! You can check your BMI through this app. I was overweight before, after dieting and working out, my BMI now is normal. Yokatta! But I've gained few kilos and I haven't achieved my target goal. So this thing is just perfect for me. Click on the image for a larger view.
# 5 43 Things: An easy-to-use 'things to do' app. I love everything about this app except that it works only when internet connection is available. Otherwise this will be my # 3 favorite. Click on the image for a larger view.
# 6 Period Plus: A neat menstrual tracker for girls of course. It helps you track breast tenderness level, cramp intensity, cycle day, intimacy, notes and period flow. It can even predict your periods, fertile days and ovulation dates. Plus it is password protected. Click on the image for a larger view.
# 7 Shop Shop: A simple shopping list that I use for shopping nowadays. Click on the image for a larger view.
# 8 Expenses - Ya Hong Dai: This app lets you keep a track of your expenses daily. You can categorize your expenses type, e.g. food, debt, etc. You can also write a note for each of your expenses in detail. Click on the image for a larger view.
# 9 Mobile Diary: This app is a unique mix of calendar, task list and journal. It is password protected and allows you to work offline. It also alerts you when you are not running the app to reminders for events and tasks. Click on the image for a larger view.
# 10 Shopping Calculator +: Very convenient during sales ladies! An app that let you calculate items price after discount. I find this quite handy when shopping during sales. Click on the image for a larger view.
There you go. My life now is in my hand. That's why I love my Viona, I mean my iPhone 4. Happy new year and let's plan our life carefully. (◕‿-)

˙·٠•●♥ Secret Love ♥●•٠·˙
When you love me
She can never know it
When you're with me
They can never know it
I want to declare to the world
You're the man that I love
But I can never say it
As this is our beautiful dark secret
Loving you
I put my heart in danger
Now that I love you more than ever
I might cry and die
If this love is over
When you whispered "I love you"
You didn't seem to fake it
Are your feelings for me true?
Not blinded by the emptiness deep within you?
How could I not feel jealous
When she's the one with the "girlfriend" status
If I ask you this
Between me and her
Who do you love more?
You can never give me the answer
But here's my answer
Between me and her
I'm the one who loves you more
My love is true
My love is only you
But you can never love me the way that I do
I'm just your secret lover
And I guess that's all I'll ever be to you
For loving me I thank you
The love you gave me
Nothing else can save me
But what happen when you stop loving me?

Lovellia's Motivation To Lose Weight ♥
15th September 2010: Losing my first ex-boyfriend had resulted in me losing some pounds. I looked slim alright thanks to him. However, my second love failure had a big impact on me. The day I lost him was the day I lost myself. I turned to food for comfort and started eating like a pig and eventually I got BIG. I gained 10kg! I had been damaging myself for so long. I know well that I shouldn't let love get over me. What's the point of brooding over my unlucky love life? If it hurts so much, then rise up! My ultimate revenge is to live better, FAR BETTER than the people who have hurt me. I will fight for my happiness. I want to live in the present. Now I have no interests in the past.
So my revenge starts with improving my self-appearance. To fight, I need to have a good and healthy body. Hahaha!
Last July I was 56.7kg (overweight). And today I am 51.6kg (normal but not my ideal weight). I've lost 5.1kg! I'm so thrilled. I'm happy that this year's Raya I made some people surprised with my looks. Even before Raya, someone said that I looked skinny. Wow I've never been labeled 'skinny' for as long as I lived. Everyone around me doesn't see me as skinny except him. Lol. Thank you, I took that as a compliment; his words are the proof of me losing some kilos. But seriously, I'm not skinny. I know how skinny looks like. These are how I motivate myself to lose weight:
1) Write a diary or go blogging, just like what I'm doing right now. Record your thoughts and feelings to stay connected and in touch with your goals. These are what I write in my beauty diary: what I really want in my life, my goals, my weight, my meals, my activities, my condition, my feelings and anything related to my losing weight mission. It's useful to have a planner in it as well; it will help you in your planning and goals setting, e.g. if I have a date, I will plan ahead what to wear and set my goal - for instance, 3 days or a week before the actual day I must work hard to lose more pounds, so that I will look great on that day.
2) When cravings for unhealthy snacks occur, I would ask myself, "What do you want? Eat this donut or look like a donut?" Lol. This would stop me from taking bad carbs, but very often I lost to food though. Lol. It's okay to spoil your diet for a day or once in a while; this will reduce dangerous cravings.
3) Think of the people who told you that you're already fat 3 times a day or more. It will piss you off that you want to show them that you can look better than them! I had someone who had embarrassed me by saying I'm fat in front of other people (including men). One day I promise I will make her say otherwise and throw those words back to her face. In fact, she's fatter than me.
4) Be in love. They say a girl in love often looks pretty. I guess that's true sometimes. Lol. You will put efforts to look at your best to impress the person that you love. The power of love is amazing. The night I found my ex-boyfriend was cheating on me, I didn't sleep at all and when morning came, I was running in place in my room for 1 hour without stopping. This is a story of a love fool. Lol. But now I have my eyes on one guy. Honestly, he's my biggest motivator.
5) Have a bet or compete with someone. I was competing with him before Ramadhan - the one who loses more weight within a certain period wins. Of course I won, because I hate losing. The reward was a special sungkai treat and I, the winner got to pick the place to eat. But that reward made me gained 1kg overnight. Hahaha. So don't use food as a reward.
6) To encourage yourself, buy things that can help you lose weight. You don't have to spend so much though. Like in a battlefield, if you have weapons with you, you will feel more confident to fight. Below are some of my "weapons" that I use in my losing weight mission. Not just weapons, you need strategies too. So gather info about losing weight and note down. The best place to collect this info is the internet. When you are equipped with weapons and strategies in mind, you will be more ready to fight!
7) I have this habit of working out in front of the mirror. When I see myself in that mirror, I will start thinking and aiming for something. Plus, when your body has improved, you will be motivated not to quit in the middle of a painful workout when seeing your sexy-self in the mirror. And music is a must when I'm exercising. Pick music that makes you want to move your body and dance. Burn your own music CD.
8) Pressure yourself. This year is the first time that I didn't make baju Raya. I want to pressure myself; if I don't lose weight, I won't have nice baju to wear for this Raya. Alhamdulillah, I managed to fit in my previous baju Raya and looked okay even though it looked a bit tight on me. So I need to lose few more kilos.
9) Have your goal posted somewhere you can see. I often write my goal on my small whiteboard. I sometimes write his name on it too. Hahaha. I know love makes me do funny stuff. When I feel pain or feel like quitting during my workout, I will look at that whiteboard. When I'm in a good mood, I will write the name of my love. The flame of love helps me burn more calories. Lol. When I'm in a bad mood, I will write the name of the people that I hate or have hurt me. Then I will get fired up and push myself to my limit.
10) Play dressfitting. It's fun! I can spend hours and hours doing this in front of the mirror. It's more fun if you play designer too; you may want to pick accesories, shoes, a belt or a scarf to match your clothes. Be creative. You will be more motivated to lose weight when you see yourself looking better with the clothes that you wear.
11) Role-playing. Use your imagination. This is fun too. Make yourself believe that you're a model or a celebrity for a day or up to you how long you want to play glamorous. Wear elegant and stylish clothes, have your hair and nails done and go on a strict diet. Or imagine those unhealthy foods as poisons that will kill you. You don't wanna die looking fat right? Lol. I sometimes imagine myself as a vegetarian. Once, my mom asked me, "Aren't you gonna eat that chicken?". I replied, "Have you forgotten that I'm a vegetarian?" Hahaha. Acting is fun.
12) Take note on compliments from people. Whenever I got praised, I would write it in my diary. I even counted the number of compliments that I received. There was this one time when I entered my class, I could have sworn my student said "Teacher kurus (Teacher looks slim)." I even noted that down. Lol. He could have said that out loud again, I might have given him extra marks on the exam paper. Hahaha. During Raya, a guest told me that I looked beautiful and was persistent to tell me that before she left. There was also an unknown guy who said, "Sexy" behind my back. Don't hate me for feeling flattered. Hating me won't make you sexy. ;D When people praise you, appreciate it and record it in your head or in your diary. Why? All these compliments will help you to move on when you feel down or feel like giving up.
I haven't achieved my ultimate goal yet. If I succeed, I will get a once in a life time reward. I will tell you what that is when that day comes. ;) To be continued. ♥
So my revenge starts with improving my self-appearance. To fight, I need to have a good and healthy body. Hahaha!

2) When cravings for unhealthy snacks occur, I would ask myself, "What do you want? Eat this donut or look like a donut?" Lol. This would stop me from taking bad carbs, but very often I lost to food though. Lol. It's okay to spoil your diet for a day or once in a while; this will reduce dangerous cravings.
3) Think of the people who told you that you're already fat 3 times a day or more. It will piss you off that you want to show them that you can look better than them! I had someone who had embarrassed me by saying I'm fat in front of other people (including men). One day I promise I will make her say otherwise and throw those words back to her face. In fact, she's fatter than me.
4) Be in love. They say a girl in love often looks pretty. I guess that's true sometimes. Lol. You will put efforts to look at your best to impress the person that you love. The power of love is amazing. The night I found my ex-boyfriend was cheating on me, I didn't sleep at all and when morning came, I was running in place in my room for 1 hour without stopping. This is a story of a love fool. Lol. But now I have my eyes on one guy. Honestly, he's my biggest motivator.
5) Have a bet or compete with someone. I was competing with him before Ramadhan - the one who loses more weight within a certain period wins. Of course I won, because I hate losing. The reward was a special sungkai treat and I, the winner got to pick the place to eat. But that reward made me gained 1kg overnight. Hahaha. So don't use food as a reward.
6) To encourage yourself, buy things that can help you lose weight. You don't have to spend so much though. Like in a battlefield, if you have weapons with you, you will feel more confident to fight. Below are some of my "weapons" that I use in my losing weight mission. Not just weapons, you need strategies too. So gather info about losing weight and note down. The best place to collect this info is the internet. When you are equipped with weapons and strategies in mind, you will be more ready to fight!
7) I have this habit of working out in front of the mirror. When I see myself in that mirror, I will start thinking and aiming for something. Plus, when your body has improved, you will be motivated not to quit in the middle of a painful workout when seeing your sexy-self in the mirror. And music is a must when I'm exercising. Pick music that makes you want to move your body and dance. Burn your own music CD.
8) Pressure yourself. This year is the first time that I didn't make baju Raya. I want to pressure myself; if I don't lose weight, I won't have nice baju to wear for this Raya. Alhamdulillah, I managed to fit in my previous baju Raya and looked okay even though it looked a bit tight on me. So I need to lose few more kilos.
9) Have your goal posted somewhere you can see. I often write my goal on my small whiteboard. I sometimes write his name on it too. Hahaha. I know love makes me do funny stuff. When I feel pain or feel like quitting during my workout, I will look at that whiteboard. When I'm in a good mood, I will write the name of my love. The flame of love helps me burn more calories. Lol. When I'm in a bad mood, I will write the name of the people that I hate or have hurt me. Then I will get fired up and push myself to my limit.
10) Play dressfitting. It's fun! I can spend hours and hours doing this in front of the mirror. It's more fun if you play designer too; you may want to pick accesories, shoes, a belt or a scarf to match your clothes. Be creative. You will be more motivated to lose weight when you see yourself looking better with the clothes that you wear.
11) Role-playing. Use your imagination. This is fun too. Make yourself believe that you're a model or a celebrity for a day or up to you how long you want to play glamorous. Wear elegant and stylish clothes, have your hair and nails done and go on a strict diet. Or imagine those unhealthy foods as poisons that will kill you. You don't wanna die looking fat right? Lol. I sometimes imagine myself as a vegetarian. Once, my mom asked me, "Aren't you gonna eat that chicken?". I replied, "Have you forgotten that I'm a vegetarian?" Hahaha. Acting is fun.
12) Take note on compliments from people. Whenever I got praised, I would write it in my diary. I even counted the number of compliments that I received. There was this one time when I entered my class, I could have sworn my student said "Teacher kurus (Teacher looks slim)." I even noted that down. Lol. He could have said that out loud again, I might have given him extra marks on the exam paper. Hahaha. During Raya, a guest told me that I looked beautiful and was persistent to tell me that before she left. There was also an unknown guy who said, "Sexy" behind my back. Don't hate me for feeling flattered. Hating me won't make you sexy. ;D When people praise you, appreciate it and record it in your head or in your diary. Why? All these compliments will help you to move on when you feel down or feel like giving up.
I haven't achieved my ultimate goal yet. If I succeed, I will get a once in a life time reward. I will tell you what that is when that day comes. ;) To be continued. ♥
So my revenge starts with improving my self-appearance. To fight, I need to have a good and healthy body. Hahaha!
Last July I was 56.7kg (overweight). And today I am 51.6kg (normal but not my ideal weight). I've lost 5.1kg! I'm so thrilled. I'm happy that this year's Raya I made some people surprised with my looks. Even before Raya, someone said that I looked skinny. Wow I've never been labeled 'skinny' for as long as I lived. Everyone around me doesn't see me as skinny except him. Lol. Thank you, I took that as a compliment; his words are the proof of me losing some kilos. But seriously, I'm not skinny. I know how skinny looks like. These are how I motivate myself to lose weight:
1) Write a diary or go blogging, just like what I'm doing right now. Record your thoughts and feelings to stay connected and in touch with your goals. These are what I write in my beauty diary: what I really want in my life, my goals, my weight, my meals, my activities, my condition, my feelings and anything related to my losing weight mission. It's useful to have a planner in it as well; it will help you in your planning and goals setting, e.g. if I have a date, I will plan ahead what to wear and set my goal - for instance, 3 days or a week before the actual day I must work hard to lose more pounds, so that I will look great on that day.
