I’m in Manila. It’s not important why I’m in Manila, but it has been awesome for the past 13 hours. The city that I once passed by on my way to Honolulu has changed a lot since. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

For one, we went midnight shopping at Resorts World last night, and I stumbled upon a La Senza, a Spanish lingerie shop.

Since losing all that weight, I haven’t actually changed my brassieres and panties. For one, there was no real need to because I had bought a whole bunch earlier last year and they’re all in amazing condition. For seconds, I just don’t do “Ah Lian” lingerie, which is the only type they sell in Kota Kinabalu unless you go super-luxury.<\/p>\n

The bras at La Senza in the Philippines are on sale at 495 Pesos each (Approximately RM36), and I couldn’t resist myself. I was looking for my old size, then reeled back, realizing I’m now a different size. I told the sales girl that I’m not sure what I should wear anymore, because things have changed.<\/p>\n

“Do you want me to measure you?,” she asked.<\/h3>\n

I agreed, and she pulls out a measuring tape. She looped the tape around my chest area below the bust-line and it read 33. She then, looped it over my bumps and it read 37 with my bra on.<\/p>\n

“You need a 36B,” she said.<\/H3><\/p>\n

“Really? Okay, I’ll go try it on for size.”<\/p>\n

Fits PERFECTLY.<\/p>\n

So I am now a 36B and wear small sized undies. I guess that means I have lovely lady lumps and literally, a small ass.<\/p>\n

Old Habits Die Hard<\/h3>\n

The weirdest part about the the window-shopping process is that I naturally always go look for L sizes. But after holding it up against by body in the mirror, they just look like clothes for pregnant women on me. It’s been weird to see that even some M sizes are too big on my new frame.<\/p>\n

How does it feel?<\/p>\n

FANTASTIC.<\/h3>\n

Because I used to stress out about not being able to find my size, because actually, (here’s some insight for you) there are just as many women who wear L and XL sizes as they are Ms.<\/p>\n

More significantly, it feels great because now all of a sudden, I have more choices of clothes to wear. I can now look at something and say, “Oh that looks soooo cute. I wanna try that on.”<\/p>\n

And when I do try them on, it actually looks good.

\nIt is not all bent out of shape to follow a figure that desperately fights hard to no be out of shape. When I was 85kgs, I was round, but I had shape. But the clothes desperately tried to make me look as good as possible, and sometimes it would fail.<\/p>\n

Now, the clothes brings out and shows my figure. <\/p>\n

In the past, the clothes hid my imperfections. Now clothes celebrate my assets.<\/p>\n

So are you going to work in a 30 minute workout today? Because that can make all the difference! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
