Are You HOT or NOT?
Epiphany
01.06.05 (2:10 am)   [edit]

a prime Christian feast, celebrated Jan. 6, called also Twelfth Day or Little Christmas. Its eve is Twelfth Night. It commemorates three events–the baptism of Jesus (Mark 1), the visit of the Wise Men to Bethlehem (Mat. 2), and the miracle at Cana (John 2). In his baptism Jesus' sonship to God was manifested to the world; in the visit of the Wise Men he was manifested as king to the Gentiles; and at the marriage feast at Cana his power to perform miracles (a divine prerogative) was shown. In popular celebration the feast is far more ancient than Christmas. Technically it is more important than Christmas, ranking after Easter and Pentecost. It is a day of gifts in many countries. In the Eastern Church the waters are blessed on this day. The word epiphany means a manifestation, usually of divine power. Thus the actual appearance of God (as in the burning bush) or a moment of divine revelation may be called an epiphany.


Isabella woke up with excitement for she was expecting the BEFANA for a week now.It is one of many italian traditions wherein a witch comes with socks full of chocolates and candies if you've been a good kid.Charcoals ,onions and garlic are given to those who have been bad.Finally, the day has come and near the firplace she saw socks full of chocolates and candies.All for her...

herbalife
12.29.04 (3:31 am)   [edit]


This "was" me before and after herbalife. I was so desperate to lose weight since after i gave birth to my Isabella.I gained almost 30 kls during the preganancy and after that i lost some..but gained again for an undisciplined diet.A friend suggested me to use this herbalife which i thought at the beginning was not effective. Then the determination of losing weight came and finally i said to myslef that i NEED to lose atleast 10 kls...i started my herbalife diet last 9 June 2004..the first three days were SOOO hard like i wanted to give up...i was so starving...cosidering the fact that i was working fulltime at that month.If it wasn't for my friend who said "You can do it"...i think i quitted already.So those first 3 days passed...and herbalife became my daily diet...i got used to it.Shake for my breakfast,fullmeal for lunch and shake again for dinner.I was so disciplined..really I was...i followed the diet very seriously...and added more patience.The first week had passed  and I lost 2 kls,not bad....I was beginning to like taking those pills coz when i put my clothes...its a little bigger...looking at myself in the mirror..i can see the results.I continued the diet..seriously,  and for 4 wks straight  behaving like i needed to..i lost 7 kls...due to some problems regarding the courier that the next month supply of herbalife didn't arrive in time...i started doing "self-disciplined" diet..which means...STARVATION!I hardly eat...afraid of gaining a pound...hehehe..so i did the diet alone without herbalife.I weighed myself again after a month of "starvation"..and happy to have lost 3 kls more.SLOWER..but good!I lost 10 kls for 2 months!I started buying clothes...sexier...and enjoying my new weight from 79.5 kls to 69 kls!!!as in 10 kls lost in 2mos!!ALLELUIAH!.  Im still enjoying my weight now though i gained 3 kls after i finished working.But not a big deal ...for i know..after this holiday season...i'll start my diet again...hahahha!happy eating everyone!
