I love this dress from Smart Mum Online. It's very pretty and I got a lot of compliments when I wore this dress. The colors are really bright and sparks a bit of cheery mood.

Yes, I am still alive and kickin' (yeah!). Despite what some might have thought, nothing ill happened to me (thank God!) for the past few months that I haven't been able to post new entries or reply to your comments and emails. Ok, I admit it. I was simply having episodes (several months long) of "K". Katamaran. No, I won't make any excuses but I will say that I had a hard time mustering energy to post new items here. It may be because I was having work burnout or probably just tired after working in the office then tending to G when I get home. Adding to that the stress of hiring, losing/firing nannies and then searching for a new one probably did it. But as I've said, I should have put my foot down and work on my time management. I won't pass the blame or point fingers. It's all on me. But please, don't hate me? :) So, 2014. A new year. I am not really into making New Year's resolutions because I know myself well enough that I would probably ne enthusiastic about it at first but would probably ditch the idea by the second or third quarter of the year. And I did make a list last year. Let's see how much did I actually accomplish... 1) Minimize shopping. >> Hmmm.. compared to the past years, I'd say I spent a little less (?). But I had definitely exercised a bit more self-control. I've actually turned down opportunities to shop for new things when I know I still have some of the same at home which are rarely used. 2) I will spend more money in... savings. >> I can't actually say that I'd saved a lot. So this is a fail for me. 3) I will try to be more mellow. >> I'd say getting there. G is now a makulit toddler and I can't always have a short fuse when dealing with her. 4) I will take better care of myself. >> I'd say FAIL on this. I did start exercising and was able to shed off 7 pounds. But the holidays came and the short hiatus from diet and exercise became longer and longer til I gained back again the lost weight. Bummer. 5) In relation to #1, I want a simpler beauty regimen. >> Yes on this. 6) Be more diligent in blogging. >> *Ahem* 7) Be more in tune with God. >> I'd say I didn't meet my own expectation. So, 3 out of 7. Not a miserable fail but still a fail. I think I'd stick with this same list for this year since it is more realistic for me. I just hope that I'd be able to follow it through. So let's check in again midyear to see how we are progressing, ok?
