DISPOSING ADIPOSE

I don't know how many times I've been asked if I'm a swimmer or a tennis player. I guess I have or used to have an athletic built. Blame it on my broad shoulders, i suppose. Thing is, I've never been a sporty kind of gal but I do know how to play basic volleyball, basketball, bowling, billiards, badminton, ping pong and I think I'm pretty good at swimming and I can run pretty fast. I just never really got hooked on any sport. I used to take Taebo classes but i stopped after a couple of months. What I'm trying to say is, I don't really excercise. Never really found the need to as I never considered myself fat. Mama always said that I am big boned (and I really am) but no one ever called me fat or chubby. And friends were always telling me how envious they were of my small waist.

Well, not anymoorreeeee.

"Ang sarap mo kumain" and "Buti ka pa hindi ka tumataba" is what some of my friends used to say. I miss my old metabolism. It slowed down about 4 years ago. And even then, I still didn't think I was fat. But now, I feel really icky. It's bad enough that I have hippo hips and a large ass to boot but my tummy is making waves, if you know what i mean. They're not really large ones but helloooo, adipose tissue is adipose tissue. And I wanna get rid of it, dammit!

So for the first time last night, i worked out. I went to the gym with my hunny and he taught me stretching excercises and instructed me on what equipment to start with, how to use them and how many reps (call me a bimbo but i never really knew what "reps" meant until last night. Honest.) and sets i should do. I even came to a point where I was already complaining because the dumbells were so heavy and i said something like, "I just want to be toned, I don't want to look like Vina Morales!" Har har.

After about 45 minutes of working out, i changed into my bikini and did a few laps in the pool (i suggest you gym buffs do this, it feels hella good).

I took a strong pain reliever before going to sleep as I was sure I would be limping in pain from the excercise that my body was sooo not used to.

Today, I have to wince in pain everytime I raise my arms. On the good side, I was actually expecting the pain to be much worse.

I'm going back to the gym tonight. I need to do this for myself. So as of now, my body is a work in progress. Hehe. By the way, if you're reading this huns, thanks for being my very own personal trainer. Hehe!

P.S.
Yes Charo, we can no
longer have Crispy Pata. Ahuhuhu!

TO THE BEACH I (might) GO

Due to my bestfriend's very persistent bugging, there's an 85% chance I'm going to Puerto Galera this weekend. It's going to be my first time, if ever. We're staying at white beach daw. Who's been there? Is it nice there? Tips on where to go and where to eat and drink will be HIGHLY appreciated.


These are some pics of white beach that I found on the net. I hope it's this secluded

I was in a bus on my way back to the condo from work yesterday. As soon as i sat down, this vendor started handing out free samples of espasol, peanut brittle and macapuno candies. He gave me espasol. When he was done giving out the samples, he goes to the front and says,

Vendor: Tigsa-sampung piso lang po lahat yan. Pero dahil pauwi na ako at kailangan ko pa maglaba, ibibigay ko nalang sa inyo ng bente kung bibili kayo ng dalawa.

A lot of people inside the bus smiled/laughed. Including moi.

Although I didn't buy anything from him, a lot of people in the bus did.

Aliw lang.

BOLD STARS 2

Do you guys remember that entry of mine about my officemate's daughter?

Well, there's a follow-up story on that one which my officemate told me while we were having lunch.

The other night, she and her husband were making love in their room. The lights were closed. Suddenly, the daughter comes in..

daughter: excuse me lang, baka nagki-kiss kayo..

then she turns on the light.

daughter: kukunin ko lang po barbie ko.

she turns off the light.

daughter: ok na! pwede na kayo mag-kiss ulit!

and she leaves the room.

HAHAHAHAHA!!! Funny kid!

There's a first time for everything.

This morning, when i got to the jeepney terminal, the jeep was already full but there was a vacant space infront, beside the driver. Was a tad hesitant to actually get in front but I had really had no other choice because I was already running late for work.

And what did i realize? Mas masarap umupo sa harapan ng jeep. It's more spacious and it ain't that hot. Plus, you don't have to bend while walking out. Coolness! Try it if you haven't. :D

Last Saturday, I was supposed to meet up with some friends at 90proof but this guy suddenly felt sick (hope you're feeling better, by the way) so we all took a raincheck. I ended up going out with my other friends aka my roomies and since we wanted to listen to music, we found ourselves in CityJam in Katipunan.

There's definitely nothing posh or stylish about this place. It's a simple bar with a fairly decent stage for the band and normal-looking tables and chairs. What greeted us when we got to the table was this:



Bucket nga naman hinde, diba? Yes, a bucket of beer (thats 5 bottles) and a bucket of oysters (not really a bucket, just a whole sizzling plate full) for 150 bucks!!! The waiter informed us that the promo was only valid until 830pm (it was already 930pm) but since we were such fine-looking ladies, he was willing to make an exception. Okay, so he didn't really say that but he did give us our oyters and beers. We also had 2 orders of sizzling spicy hotdogs because they were sooo damn good, an order of baked tahong and 4 more bottles of beer. We weren't really drunk, but we were intoxicated in a fun kind of way.

We found ourselves laughing at the menu because we found this:

Call Boy (tenga ng baboy)-------120
Bad Boy (baba ng baboy)-------120
Talk Boy (Tokwa't baboy)--------95

Isn't that creative? Hehehe.


More ice and beer, please? what fun!

GOOD FRIENDS

I had such a blast with friends last Saturday at Congo Grill El Pueblo! I didn't think the people who said they couldn't go would actually come. I haven't seen most of them in such a looonnng time and I had so much fun just catching up with everybody and talking about everything under the scorching sun! To everyone who came, thanks for coming even if I didn't make libre! Haha!

Charo, thanks so so much for the super yummy cake!!!

PASEO UNO

First of all, a million thanks to everyone who remembered and greeted me on my birthday (that means, NOT you, Jovan, hehehe! Kidding!)!!!

Hunny took me to the very stylish Paseo Uno in Mandarin Oriental (its where Brasserie used to be) for birthday dinner last night. I think i gained a couple of pounds just by eating there. But hell, it was worth every single pound. Food was sooooo good. There were fresh oysters (hunny and i loved the cilantro lime sauce with the oysters), prawns, a great assortment of sushi and sashimi, smoked salmon and tanigue, a selection of imported cheese, pasta, all sorts of tempura, a satay station, roasted prime ribs and pork knuckles, different types of kababs, just to name a few. And the dessert station, was, well, let me put it this way- Thank God I don't have diabetes!!! Lots of cakes, parfaits, souffles, pies, halo-halo and vanilla and bailey's ice cream with all the syrup and toppings you want!

Another thing that I loved about this place was the impeccable service. In most buffet places, even in other hotels, the waiters are so busy that you have to ask them to do something before they actually do it. In Paseo Uno, its like the waiters read your mind. Even if the place was packed with diners, I didn't have to tell them to take my plate, clear the table, or refill our water glasses. The only time we had to tell them to do something was when we asked for our check. I will definitely go back!

A quarter of a century. That's how old I'm turning in a matter of hours. Looking back, I wanted to be a lot of things by the time I turn 25. And unfortunately, a lot of those things haven't happened yet. Well, i have a whole year to work on them and if some of them never happen, then I guess they weren't just meant for me. There will be no birthday party and maybe no gifts, and to tell you the truth, I really don't mind. I think what's important right now are the blessings that I'm really grateful for: my parents' unconditional love, my adorable yet sometimes annoying sisters, my hunny's affection and a good number of real friends who have never failed to be there for me, among a million other things.

I guess what I'm trying to say is:
"I'll remember that everything I really need I already have
And whatever I don't have will come to me when I am ready to receive."- from Will and Grace

(advance) HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

BIG FISH

This movie is beautiful in ways that I find hard to explain. The visuals are amazing, Thanks to Mr. Burton. It's funny and amusing, and yet it will make you cry (well, it made me cry). It will also make you fall inlove and yet, it will also pinch your heart a little. I love love love it. I can't think of one person who will not like this movie.

Watch it. Please.

"Sometimes, the only way to catch an uncatchable woman is to offer her a wedding ring."-- Ed Bloom, Big Fish


Albert Finney at his finest. I loved him here.

Stolen from Charo's blog who got it from Twinnie Kai

1. Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, find line 4. Write down what it says:
"..more on ensuring the food was restaurant quality, because, and.."

2. Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What do you touch first?
the arm of our couch

3. What is the last thing you watched on TV?
Friends DVD

4. What are you wearing?
pink knitted tank top and khaki shorts

5. What is on the walls of the room you are in?
blinds and my friend's painting

6. Seen anything weird lately?
can my chicken pox blisters be considered weird? hehehe!

7. Last movie you saw?
DVD-Ever After, theater-Love Actually

8. If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy first?
a phat car! Nah, maybe just a decent car will do.

9. If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics, what would you do?
Will make this world utopian.

10. George Bush: is he a power-crazy nutcase, or someone who is finally doing something that has needed to be done for years?
I think he's a moron who think he's doing the right thing.

11. Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her?
There's a lot! Summer (this one will probably be a nickname IF she's born during the summer), Damita (which means "little princess" in spanish), Liana, Althea, Eunice (even if it reminds me of the bitchy girl from the soap opera "Annaluna"), Kalika (which is "rosebud" in greek). There's really a lot, I guess I'll just cross that bridge when i get there.

12. [Same question for a boy]
I really like the name, Viggo. Way back in college, i remember wanting to name my son, Holden (yes, from one of the greatest books of all time, The catcher in the rye). Is that still a good idea?

BORACAY

I really love this island. There was a time, I was so addicted to this island, I would be there every 3 months. I haven't been back in a really long while--ok more than a year to be exact. Hunny and I spent a lot of vacations here and I look forward to more but I will no longer make the mistake of going there again during Holy Week. First of all, everyone, including the manangs who sell dried pusit and bbq in every corner, jacks up their prices. By jack up, i mean that the 25-peso longanisa burger that i love is suddenly priced at 70 pesos. Second, there's just too much parties and way too much drinking plus the beach is so crowded, its so hard to find a nice spot in the powdery, white sand to sunbathe in. Third, during Holy Week, it seems that everyone's there just to "be seen". Fourth, there's waaaaayyyy too much advertising from companies like Smart and Globe who obviously compete for the largest and most number of banners, sponsored rave parties and chill out sessions and freebies (this one i particularly like). Last but not the least, it's absolutely stressful. It completely takes away the whole reason for going to the beach, which is, to relax, enjoy the beauty of nature and feel absolute bliss.

I've heard from friends who have been there recently that a lot of new bars and restaurants have opened. My favorite ones, the ones I keep coming back to are listed here. And I intend to stay loyal to these establishments in the years to come.

Why am I suddenly writing about Boracay? My 2 condo-mates are leaving for the island tomorrow and I can't help but feel nostalgic. I miss Jonas, Pink Patio's uber friendly guest relations officer, walking around in a bikini, lying on my favorite spot in the island while reading a good book, drinking Bombom bar's rum coke in the middle of the day, the milkshakes at Jony's, Janet's crepes (she owns Gorio's), sinigang and caldereta at Caribo, holding Hunny's hand while watching the breathtaking sunset while drinking rum coke again.

I miss Boracay. The island holds too many beautiful and fun memories of my hunny and my closest friends. I can't wait to go back.


Ain't that gorgeous? (picture snagged from photographer friend, Kai)

CHOCOLATES!!!

My pinaka-favorite chocolate in the whole wide world are Maltesers!!! But i'm adding 2 more to my list.

1. Hershey's latest addition to the Kisses family.....Dark Chocolate Kisses! Absolutelyyy yummmyyy!!! They come in purple foil!

2. Hershey's S'mores- We don't have to make them anymore! I saw 2 of these in our freezer the other day and snagged one. Apparently, it was my sister's and she did mind that I took one (hehehe!) but could not stay mad at me because I'm sick. It was soooo good!

P.S.
My bad. Dark chocolate kisses are not hershey's latest addition to
the kisses family. It's this one.
Looks yummy too but might be too sweet for me.


They're aaaaallllll goooooddd!!!

I know i said I would probably be blogging a lot but when you're stuck in the condo, doing nothing but eat, sleep, drink medicines, surf the internet and watch dvds you've already seen a million times, there's really not much to blog about.

So my 18-year-old sister came over today to bring me the rest of my medications. She also stayed for lunch (i had food from jollibee delivered na lang since there was really nothing to cook, anyway. Hehe!) and we watched Season 8 of Friends (we have dvds of Seasons 1-9. I'm bound to memorize every single episode by the time I recover. Oh well, I never get sick of friends, anyway. Uyy, pun not intended)

Anyhoo, we were watching friends and then she suddenly turns to me and says,

Sister: Achi, can i have a cigarette?
Me: Huh?!? [pause] Sure!
[long pause]
Me: Ikaw ha, nagyoyosi ka na pala.
Sister: hindi naman palagi eh...

She takes one and smokes.

Hhmmm...being the eldest sister and all, there's a part of me that thinks I shouldn't have given her a cigarette and instead scolded her about the harmful effects of smoking but hey, i started smoking when I was 17, and my sister's turning 19 in June, and I don't want to be a hypocrite, so there. Who knows, maybe it's just a phase she'll grow out of. Hopefully. Sigh. They're growing up so fast. *sniff sniff*
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Was talking to my friend who was asking me how I was doing. My reply sent her laughing so loud.

"This is how it feels like pala to be ugly."

I'm so vain. Hehehehe!

about moi


Loves the beach, wishes she had more time and money to travel, recently got hooked to climbing mountains, reads anything she can get her hands on, frustrated writer, adores her 3-year-old Lhasa Apso, Tashi, constantly needs caffeine, wonders when she'll quit smoking, and will most likely die due to liver complications from drinking too much (if the cigarettes doesn't get to her lungs first). Can't live without accessories especially big, dangling earrings, shoe freak (aren't we all?), sucker for discovering hole-in-the-wall restaurants, will ingest anything spicy, enjoys giving and receiving massages, addicted to Friends, Sex and the City and CSI, goes gaga over kids, dreams of being alone with Jim Morrison and smoking a joint with Bob Marley. Would love to party with Gwen Stefani, shop with Patricia Field, write poetry with Maya Angelou and have Sting, Nelson Mandela, Mark Twain and Bono over for dinner.
