We're having more family outings recently because my aunt and her family just got back from Japan to spend their summer vacation here. My cousins and sis decided to catch 'Pirates of the Carribean' while I joined my mom, aunts and uncles for shopping. I don't see watching movie as an ideal group activity. Why spend $9.50 to get stuck in the cinema on a sunday with chattering kids around and most importantly, you can't even interact with your cousins! That's why I prefer to rent DVDs and enjoy them on a lazy afternoon, lying/ sitting in whichever position I like while munching on snacks if I care for some. I could even pause and rewind as many times as I like. This is life! I'm definitely not being anti-social here since I do love people. Really do. But sometimes it's good to have some personal time.
My vain aunts and mom spent sooooo much time in nature's farm( health food store) and they bought so much health supplements that each got a complimentary membership! My mom bought collagen capsules and slimming pills! she claimed that the pills are for firming purposes but I know better. Maybe she's in denial or something. It contains 20% caffeine which is supposed to boost your metabolic rate and there are a few other active ingredients which are supposed to reduce fat and starch absorption.Bye bye fat soluble vitamins! I've decided not to pay too much attention to what my mom is doing . It seems like we never agree on anything nowadays. I guess it's repurcussion or something. My mom and grandma don't seem to agree quite often as well.
