The last time I weighed myself, I was 204 pounds. The moment I got off the weighing scale, I knew I was not in the best shape of my life. I knew I was in deep shit. I just thought that I needed to make an important decision in my life.

Luckily, a group of employees from the hospital that I am working in invited a person from a reputable fitness club to conduct dance classes that combines yoga, kickboxing, hip-hop, and samba in one session. Indeed jam-packed! Happens every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. So I took the chance to enlist myself.

I also started my diet regimen - less carbs (no rice), less meat and more vegetables. I was quite surprised because I did not feel deprived. I was happy! I wasn't grumpy and I felt healthier.

Last week, I weighed myself and I was 190 lbs. Which means that I lost 14 lbs in 3 weeks time. Quite a big number and it keeps me motivated. I wish this attitude goes on and on. I just want to get used to this. I just wanna live and strut around with the better version of myself.

FANATIC ALERT!!!! Posted on Sunday, July 17, 2011 | 3 comments

I purchased a Destiny's Child cassette tape in Lee Plaza (a humble mall in Dumaguete...) and I felt so cool after that.... HAHAHAHA!

I have always been a fan of Beyonce even when she was still with Destiny's Child. Or it is safe to say that I came to love her because of the girl group.

I remember memorizing every song that they release on MTV.

I once had a cassette tape of the girl group, bought magazines and went to their official website on a regular basis. And instead of studying for my classes on weekends, I always look forward to seeing their videos so I can gyrate and dance with it.

They were the next group that I liked after the breakup of the Spice Girls.

At some point in my life, I also wanted a DC doll.... HAHAHA!

The kind of music that I liked was shaped by both girl groups -Spice Girls and RnB. Sadly, its hard to sing their songs in karaoke. HAHAHA!!! 2 become 1 is too sexy for my uncles and I cant just sing the song when I am in front of them. I also cant sing Say My Name because even though I have mastered the whole song, it leaves me gasping for air., which could be attributed to my smoking.

If you are looking for a point, then sorry I dont have a point. I just like Beyonce and Spice Girls

I just made this post because I've read an article on Yahoo that says "Beyonce's father denies stealing from her" and I was alarmed because I kinda saw how his father guided her all throughout her music career. Tina, B's mother, made all her dresses while Matthew, B's father, made all decisions on her career.

The recent decision of Beyonce not to get her father was quite surprising. You see, when you are so rich and famous, your relationships with other people just get intrigues. I hope they'll get through with this.

More power to Beyonce! You have all my love coz we run the world!

They look so stylishly floral in this photo... And we'll end here so you'll get over that I wanted their dolls too... HAHAHA!

Mudra.... Mudra.... Mudra.... Posted on Sunday, July 10, 2011 | 2 comments

I always make it a point to stay at home on Sundays. But I guess, there are times that it gets inevitable. Just like last week. My mom was here in Manila for the weekend and of course I had to be her chaperon. And when I am so tired, I just rant and make faces and why we have to buy things for other people.

But I realized that she's right. We have to share and give back to people who have been kind to us. Even the rude ones deserve some love. That's why I admire my mother so much.

On the other hand, I think that we are both scared to know the truth or inquire about it.

My mom trying to ease her way in asking what I really want out of life and who I wanna be with. And me not knowing how to make it easy for them to accept who I really am.

As they say, I think we should just stop thinking and just live with that we see. What we both see is what we get.

Her visit to Manila was fast but I seriously think that it was meaningful. I had fun going around with her at the malls as she shops. I saw how patient she was. I saw how humble she is. And I just love her. When we talk, I raise my voice sometimes and she also does the same thing. But we still laugh at each other at the end of the day.

I also learned that she doesnt drink cold water anymore. She gets sick when she's exposed to the AC for a long time. She's quite tolerant now with the way I dress up, which is really a good thing.

But I guess, that is how it goes. The people you love are difficult to understand but you still love them anyway.

When I tell her to just stick on the list that she brought so we dont lose focus and buy the things that we dont need. She would comment that I lack spontaneity. When I am with her, it makes me mature and childish or whatever.

I heart my Mudra... I love my Pudra too and my brother. But our bond is different. We have a connection. A tight one. A very tight one...

Tweet Up with Kym and Patty Posted on Saturday, June 25, 2011 | 0 comments

At Cafe Breton with Kym and Patty...

This meet-up with my Tweet Hearts was a long overdue plan. Patty and I have always wanted to meet up but unfortunately, I was so poor back then that I only use @tweetitow to send my tweets. Which means, that I will have to read my tweets the moment I arrive home.

This is a tweet up because its a meet-up planned by Twitter friends. This used to be called"eyeball", which was used during the advent of SMS. Well, EYEBALL now is just so baduy and jologs. (Umaandar nanaman ang pagiging social climber ko!)

Kym and Patty are Terj's friends from their lovely place in Rizal. I used to think that Patty is Terj's cousin but I've learned that they are not and that they are also bound by common friends and cousins. Since Kym and Patty are best friends, I eventually became friends with Kym.

I also learned that Patty and Kym were not classmates in High School. Patty was one year older than Kym. You'd think that they are classmates because they are so close to each other.

We finally had the chance of meeting up, when Kym and Patty decided to visit me and Terj in Makati. Unfortunately, they had to meet Terj on a different time because our schedules don't jive at all. Terj was on-duty from 2pm to 10pm while I get off at 4pm.

The moment I got from work, I changed into my work clothes and went to Greenbelt 3 to meet up with the girls at Cafe Breton. To those who are not quite familiar with the place, it is the best place to feast on crepes.

Le Magnifique from Cafe Breton

Since I wanted to smoke and coffee seemed to be the best partner for it, we went to The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. However, I have been scavenging on my bag and I couldn't find my cigarettes then I realized that I must've left it at Fuma. And it was true! I left it there.

The lost cigarette brought us to our next stop which was at Red Mango where I savored the flavor of yogurt.

Thanks Patty for the photo... =)

Thanks Patty and Kym for the tweet up and the Le Magnifique!!!! See you soon and I hope you enjoyed your trip to Jakarta!

NB: All photos were taken from Patty's album and taken by Patty and the waitress at Cafe Breton.

Instant Friends for XMEN First Class Posted on Sunday, June 5, 2011 | 3 comments

Six days of work in a week killed the cat. LOL!!! I like Saturday duties because it usually ends early but it did not happen yesterda. Plus? There was a an imminent event that can spell danger - GI Bleeding Scan. I dont know what happened. I went out at three in the afternoon which made my life a little less stressful.

With Honey and Ryan my instant friends all because of BlackBerry Messenger and Twitter....

Honestly, I had a situation yesterday. I wanted to watch XMEN First Class but among my 2,000++ friends on Facebook, not a single person was free. So I had to search through Twitter and found Honey. On my Blackberry contact list, I found Ryan. And then voila... I had friends in an instant. LOL!

So after the movies, we accompanied Ryan as he's going to a friends' house party and he was asked to bring the booze. I didn't know that Mercury Drug sells liquor. Cool! But he decided to buy it somewhere near The Fort because his friends want something apple-ish! HAHAHA!

Honey and I decided to eat at Chef d' Angelo. We wanted to pay respect for your tummies. While choosing what food to eat, I had quite a flashback of all the food I ate for the week and I realized that it has been vegetable-free. So I ordered Chicken Caesar Salad and I think I just made the right choice.

Chicken Caesar Salad from Chef d' Angelo at Glorietta 5

Honey ordered their Classic Burger and I learned that she doesn't like vegetables too. In fact, she separated the veggies from the burger patty but I was surprised because she's still so thin.

So my weekend was completely exciting and unpredictable. I love surprises. It keeps me motivated to wake up each day and face the world chin-up!

Sorry for the photos... I just took it from VV (That's the name of my Blackberry)! =)
