Mooooon

Well the being on certainly hasn't kept me from being a massive lazybutt with posting. That or it was the rollercoaster of a week, with exams and everything. So once again, since I'm still being a lazybutt, here's some pictures from when we went to the Mooon Cafe at Gaisano some time two weeks ago. This was before I started keto though. The food was great :)

Like crazy...

Being on ketosis, I'm encouraged to exercise when I can. I don't have a gym membership, though I think doing HIITs on my own is enough. I might need a new sportsbra though, just to stop things from jumping and jiggling everywhere. It has made me feel lighter and more active though, which is good :)

Yesterday, after dinner, I flipped open the laptop to see Gunter sleeping with a special note for me. I thought he had ended the Skype call and went about his own things. Instead, he does this super adorable gesture. He's such a cutie! We're planning to cook his lunch today and we're thinking of making a low-carb recipe. I gotta remind him to buy his buns before he starves again. 

On Keto

So I've just started Keto 3 days ago and it's really difficult. Asian people especially have a high amount of carbohydrates in their diets so it's really hard to just leave that out. I think it's about time I take diets seriously though, and I want to look better for when Gunter visits next year :) I think the headaches and little fevers for now are worth it in the long run.

Keto isn't "not eating at all" as what my classmates have exclaimed when I told them they can have my extra rice, haha. Just minimizing carbohydrate intake to make your system switch to ketosis :) Though I guess for them, not having rice is the same as not eating at all.

I have 7 months to lose as much weight. I think I can do this. For once I have a very good motivation and not just "because I don't want to be bullied for being too fat for Asian standards." I've been exercising more too. I kinda slacked with it before especially when uni started for me but Gunter doing exercises to relieve stress and such really motivates me. He does rope skipping pretty much everyday. I wish I could do that but I can't because BOOBS. I need a new sportsbra.

Sleepybuns love food too!

My sister's birthday was actually on Monday but due to it being exam week for her, she plan to have the get-together on Thursday night. Thursday was also a special day for Gunter and I, and i didn't actually realize it until...Wednesday night. I suck, sorry :c It was still a special day for us and gosh, I love my sleepybun.

Anyways, food! Lots of food! Gunter thought the whole roasted pig looked a little weird, haha. He'd be in quite a surprise when he comes here. Should be fun! :) I also failed at taking panorama pictures lol

Cooking with Gunter: German Pancakes

This was the very first meal that Gunter and I did by Skype. It was particularly fun watching him work with whisks and beaters wearing an apron :) The recipe used was of a dutch baby recipe.

It turned out great and pretty. He ended up smothering his with a lot of cinnamon powder because he likes it, haha.

Who knew this simple invitation to make something for breakfast turned out to be one of the best things I've ever done with someone? I can't wait until I get to taste Gunter's cooking :P

It's a rainy Wednesday once more

I had an early class at uni again today. After a wonderful date with Gunter yesterday, I'm glad I was rested enough for this early call. Nothing says "wake the hell up!" like gulping down a lukewarm cup of black coffee in one go.

The rest of the day was pretty hazy. I seriously feel like I just zoomed my way through time until now. After a an almost disastrous quiz on Systems Analysis and Design, I went home and had an early lunch which taught me a lesson: Do not eat lunch that early! I got so hungry when I arrived home after my (postponed) Principles of Management class earlier this afternoon that I'm pretty sure I ate more than 20g of carbs. Oh well, it's my sister's birthday dinner tomorrow anyways so the keto would've failed if I started today.

The weather earlier was chilly and rainy. I really like seeing gray clouds on the horizon. There's a certain calm and melancholy that dark clouds and rain bring to me

Cooking With Gunter: Tuna!

Every time Gunter suggests that we cook something, I always get excited. Sure, I don't get to taste it (yet!) but just being a part of it and seeing how he works makes me smile (and laugh! and giggle!) His funny antics are a great way to keep me going happy. He's my happyfuel :3 /cheese

This time, we made a tuna casserole. He replaced some ingredients though, like the peas, mushroom sauce and American cheese. I think his version turned out great and pretty!

I love that cute face, haha <3 I can't wait to do this again. I wonder what we'll cook next~

"Himmlische" Leysieffer

I was preparing to go to uni last Monday when the DHL delivery guy came around and told me the package Gunter sent me has arrived. I was so thrilled! The customs fee was high though but that didn't stop me from claiming my preciousss <3 He sent me cheese (that went bad, aww),  his mom's ceramic sculpture for me, a bottle of UHU and my most priced possession...Leysieffer chocolates!




The Die Klassischen one has alcoholic chocolates. It has many of my favourite pieces! The Die Koniglichen one has the most yummy truffles! With gold flakes! I had to share some but i still got to enjoy the lot of them :) And the Espresso one. I really love it, considering i'm an insane coffee addict.

They're all safely tucked in my tummy now haha.
