Fitness and Health: (<--isama ba talaga?)Am trying to gain more pounds. Just started taking Mosegor Vita as recommended by my fellow w @ wie, Jacque and my sister, Dada who attested na nakakapagpataba nga ito because of its effect to one's appetite. Wanna improve my shape and built..don't want to be a walking hanger on my gown. Will update you of my progress. I'm targeting to gain 10 pounds more before my wedding day. As you see, ok pa naman siguro if we're takin' easy on preps lately..we've booked almost all of our major suppliers kaya ok na talaga yun. Still have 4 1/2 months to prepare for the other nitty gritty details..and of course still have about 9 paydays plus one bonus payday to replenish our diminishing moolah.

Anything we might have missed/overlooked?

Questions? Comments? Just holler..........
