Day 01 : Oh the Pain!

2008-09-17T15:11:00.001Z

I'm on a mission that hopefully will not be too impossible.. The mission? To get back in shape before Boracay-Nov08! We're talking serious toot pounds here. And today was Day01.
Menu for the day:
Bfast - Coffee, half of a chix sandwich (wheat bread)
Lunch - Tuna salad (gasp! W/ ceasar dressing), bites from Russel's home-made-by-his-Mom chicken pot pie, half a mango
Dinner - The other half of the chix sandwich

Went to the gym after ages of not going today too! Did cardio to warm up. 2.1K in 20mins of walk+brisk walk+jog. Terrible.
Then I decided to join the body combat class. I didnt know it was a "knockout workou inc moves & stances from karate, muay thai, kick boxing, AND tae kwon do." I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA DIE! Or pass out or puke or cry! I was panting like a horse and sweating by the buckets. But my pride made me push on - with my tongue dangling out! Haaay... It burns!

Sigh. Day01.
Survived - barely!

V-day 07!

2007-02-15T01:06:00.000Z

:-) I received the biggest package ever! Possibly the biggest one that was delivered to TEC. Love it! It had everything on it - roses, a stuff toy, yummy melt-in-your-mouth-gooey-moist chocolate cake, & balloons!
Had a fun dinner with (single) friends at Chili's. Then we took home all the heart shaped balloons from the place. Then i almost had a run in with a cop for making a wrong turn and a possible expired license - but was saved by charm and with the help of my dearest Pia. Whew!
Whoever said being single on Vday is boring and no fun? I beg to disagree. Though single, I had the ultimate Vday today. It's all about Love yes. And i was definitely surrounded by it. And i am so thankful for having them. :-*

Currently reading...

... Salman Rushdie's Shame. Just finished the first chapter. So far it's a hilarious (?) Political satire that has me cracking up at odd times.. :-)
Powerbooks had a sale last week and i bought Shame and a chic lit package sale = Bergdorf Blonde + I am Charlotte 'sumthing'. I finished reading Bergdorf and I must say.. It was too painful to finish it but i endured it... Seriously! It's dumb, shallow, and superficial 'it made MY nails hurt' -not to mention my head.. Pfft! I'm too scared to start the other chic lit book. Brrr...
Rushdie's book should be much more enlightening. Whatdya guys think?

Cupcakes!

One of my current addiction of the moment (other than taking pics of just about everything with The Phone) are these adorable and yummylicious cupcakes by Sonja! Now like any other addictions, too much can be bad. In this case it's fattening! :-S not to mention pricey! I still can't believe i spent 900+php for just a Dozen cupcakes.. Though it was a special request by my Aunt who's leaving the country this Tuesday.. Still - they are yummy!

After a great dinner at North Park, we stopped by the cutest bakeshop and bought these ridiculously expensive and adorable cupcakes. :-) I must say they are divine! Especially the pecan tart - sinfull!

22 Jan 07 - Krispy Kreme

After MOA, my Tita & i invaded Serendra for some sugar fix. What better way to fix it but a dosage of some Krispy Kreme doughnuts & Kreme latte. Yum! :-D

22 Jan 07 - MOA

It's my rare day off from work! As a treat to myself & to my Tita who's in town for a visit, we headed off to Mall of Asia. Huge place! Malayo pero ok lang. Very nice & just about everything is there. Word of caution tho- wear comfy shoes! :-) we did a lot window shopping then binged on some Sbarro. We then went to Serendra for more 'site seeing' & more food tasting! :-D
