Happy Hearts Day

No, I didn't mean Valentine's Day. Sa February 14 pa yon shungak. I meant heart (disease) awareness day. Admittedly all the non-negotiables in my life, i.e. genetics, diet, exercise, and stress are waving huge red flags. My mother had bypass surgery at age 42, as nearly all her paternal relatives over 60 have. My paternal grandfather underwent bypass surgery some 2 or 3 years ago as well. My maternal grandfather passed away at 32 due to a massive heart attack. Diet, what diet??? I happen to love isaw and lechon kawali. I also have a sweet tooth, in fact I can gulp down 4 Krispy Kreme doughnuts in one sitting, and I'm not talking about the original glazed variety, I meant the New York cheesecake doughnut. As for exercise, the only time I get physical is when I wakeboard, and God knows how long that has been. Wait, does sex count? bwahahaha

So there are my odds. I'm no genetic lottery winner when it comes to healthy hearts. I consume massive amounts of pork, sugar and coffee, and I rarely exercise (if sex doesn't count that is, move over prudes). But no worries, I know I will have no need to start saving up for a future bypass operation. So how do I know, and how do I keep my heart healthy? Well, I believe in the law of attraction and I immerse myself in love love love. Also a little luho every now and then. So peeps, here's the top 5 list of my guilty pleasures.

Bags - my obssession de jour. I love bags especially designer ones. It started with LV, but now that I've outgrown logos, I remain loyal to Balenciaga and YSL (well, at least until I can afford Chanel and Hermes).









Sorry, no fakes here. Even when I was in my early 20's and I cannot (yet) afford designer, I never owned a fake. Never have, never will, and I mean nevah.

Pictures, pictures, pictures - visit my flickr site and everything will be self-explanatory.

Music - my teeny tiny nano's memory is FULL. Loaded with R&B, hip hop and rock & roll. If you chance upon a crazed woman driving a blue car, screaming her lungs out and dancing, that's probably just me. I would sometimes even borrow my husband's shuffle just for a taste of new wave and sappy love songs.

Books - as far back as I can remember, one of my biggest luhos. And I prefer hardbound, thank you.










Gerard Butler (King Leonidas in the movie 300) - just looking, staring, gazing, watching him..........harmless yun, mga bastos kayo, ang dudumi ng mga utak niyo, mwahaha

Haaaayyyy. I swear I hear my knickers drop and my heart go thump thump THUMP everytime I see him onscreen. Heck I don't even care if those abs were airbrushed. He's the second macho-est guy on my list (second only to Joel Pogi). Funny I never even liked muscular guys. My crushees in grade school and high school were the usual nerds and geeks. I never even liked basketball players or soccer players (at lalo namang ayaw nila sa akin mwahaha). When 300 was still in theaters, malls were bombarded with his posters. I would run towards his life size poster and touch his cardboard abs. Natural mente, my husband would be fuming mad and would refuse to talk to me for the rest of the day. It's a good thing he barely reads my posts kundi lagot ako at outside da kulambo na naman ako mamaya mwahahaha.

There goes my heart rate.

Well, what are your guilty pleasures???
