Lethal Combination

Maybe this post just came up because I'm currently having a midnight hunger pang. Nonetheless, lethal in this case means the best food combo ever invented in human history, in my opinion at least. It turns out that writing this post actually elevates my hunger as I nearly drooled when searching for mouthwatering pictures of food at this not-so-waistline-friendly hour. So here it goes!

Chocolate and Peanut Butter

Honestly, who can resist this sinfully perfect combination of sweet and salty? Whether you put it in between a wholegrain bread, turn it into a bite-sized Reese cups or make a cake out of it, this duo made in the heavens would still taste so good!

Peanut Butter and Banana

Even though I absolutely adore my peanut butter with chocolate, I'd like to involve PB in another affair with bananas. I prefer to have this combo wrapped in a slice of wholegrain bread with extra and crunchy peanut butter.

Churros. Need I explain more?

Honey Lemon

Just had this to alleviate my seemingly uncontrollable midnight hunger pang. To be honest, I was only hooked by this combo earlier this month when I was having steak at my favorite place in town. My mom ordered a hot honey lemon and I was completely head over heels for it. So soothing, tangy and sweet at the same time. It's good for you, too!

Running Must Haves

If you've been running consistently, perhaps you've become an addict of the invigorating 'runner's high' that you got after a great run. The rush of endorphins after a run would leave me instantly energized, refreshed and happy. Let me introduce you to my running must-haves and some of these items are relatively new and you might realize that most of them are from Nike and they are in blue! Yes, Nike is definitely my favorite sporting brand, I totally love their rather streamlined designs and over-the-top materials. And yes, blue is unambiguously my favorite color in this whole wide world.

Let's start with the shirt. I have right here what I would call my ultimate shirt. I am so in love with this Nike dri fit shirt thanks to its enchanting bright blue color and its lightweight material that's keeping me cool and comfy during a run. The sport bra, also in the same color, provides high support that's suitable for high impact exercise such as running. Again, it's really comfortable!
A great track list is my other must-have during a run but it's really important to ensure that you're using the correct earphone specially designed for sports as they are generally sweat proof and they are uniquely engineered to better fit you during an exercise, like my Bose SIE2i. The sound of music played when using this earphone is crystal clear and the unique design fits my ear perfectly (it comes in three sizes, S, M, L when you purchased the earphone), preventing my earphone from slipping away during a run, which is one of the most annoying thing that would disturb your run. As for the shoes, well, I did an extensive review some time ago so feel free to check it out!

Having a great set of workout gears will give you a boost of motivation. Remember, investing in good workout gears is also important! Although they might come a little pricey at first but I swear it's going to be worth it as you'll find your workout more enjoyable!

When Love Arrives.

Here's an extract that I've gotten from Sarah Kay's love poem called 'When Love Arrives', another of my favorite poem by her that she performed with Phil Kaye. Again, the poetry is just indescribably beautiful. I'm still urging you to check her out on YouTube.

If I Should Have a Daughter

by Sarah Kay

Simply perfection. Her spoken word poetry is oozing with such delightful metaphor that literally made my heart fluttered, gave me chills and brought tears to my eyes. I simply love her spoken word poetry so much! Check out her other performance on YouTube, I assure you they're completely worth your time.

Awesomeness Reloaded.

One thing that had been on the top of my wish list was Nike's strikingly beautiful Free Flyknit 5.0 that is bright blue in color. Yes people, that gorgeous pair of chaussures are just like the ultimate babe for me. I didn't know that it was launched in Malaysia until a few weeks back, where I was just randomly strolling around KLCC's Nike store with a glimpse of false hope still lingering inside of me, hoping that my dream of having a pair of Nike Free Flyknit 5.0 would finally come true. And there it was. The gorgeous pair of running shoes in the magnetizing, eye-catching and heart-throbbing shade of blue. Okay, maybe that was a little over but for me it was true!

 I instantly grabbed it and asked for my size. I was initially disappointed as they only had 39 and didn't have my usual 37-38 size. I discovered that the color was the previous season's that was why the hot sizes were already out of stock. I rushed to Pavilion to see if they had my size and turned out that they only had it in the size of 42 so I ran back to KLCC and tried the 39, fingers crossed, hoping that my dream shoes would fit me. And they fit, people, they fit me so well. I gulped a bit though when I saw the price tag with the digit RM560 on it. But it didn't stop me from buying my long-awaited dream that had finally came true!

Take a look at it! Isn't it goooooorgeous? Now, it's judgement time; was it worth it? 

YES, DEFINITELY! The shoes are super comfortable and it fits like a second skin, literally! Nike Free Flyknit 5.0 fits and follows the actual shape of your feet and you have the option of not wearing socks without having to be scared of infecting your shoes with dreadful smell as the material is washable. But I still recommend you to wear socks especially during your first few runs with these babies to prevent blisters. Another thing that I love about these shoes is their weight. They are ultra-light and give that barefoot run feeling when I run. However, when I ran with these babies for the very first time I didn't wear socks and I didn't really like the feeling when I ran and it got me blisters, I'm still not sure whether it is because the shoes are still really new. That is why I recommend the use of socks! These babies are also relatively costly but I wouldn't mind if it means that my body will get skinnier alongside with my bank account as these shoes are truly good investment. Hahaha that's what I always say to make myself feel better after a purchase. Nevertheless, I am still madly and irretrievably in love with these babies of mine.

A Very Happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday to my dearest little angel! Time surely has passed by in a blink of an eye. It felt just like yesterday when we brought a new little bundle of joy back home. Before I even knew it, the little bundle has outgrown her baby steps and is now blossoming into one beautiful little princess. Wishing you nothing but everlasting health and happiness. May Allah always protects you and showers you with lots and lots of love. Try not to spend so much this year on toys and don't forget to keep blowing me your lovely kisses every time we Skype even though you are one year older than yesterday. I miss you so dearly and love you very, very much.

And one more thing. Although I'd give the world to you on this very special day of yours, you still can't have my prince 

HAHAHA
