certified queen of blogs

So I got an award from Liza, the certified queen of blogs. Coming from her, this is truly an honor. Thanks for remembering me on this one.

I’m passing this on to all those who are certified queens of blogs in their own right: Jade, KCee, Lena, and Cielo. Please read the rules here and share this award to equally deserving women throughout the blogosphere.

nothing, really

Hope you are all well. It’s been quiet all over and I’ve been forced into hibernation and actual isolation to boot. This is what happens when you’re sick. It forces you to lock yourself up in your room. I’m so ready for my flipflops. And most of all, I’m so ready to see people smiling, putting on those shades and shorts and driving with their windows down. And a million other things that aren’t headache and sinusitis.

my ex on TV

Tags: ,

So many things happened this week. But I will not go into details because it might bore the crap out of you. You see, the writer is a normal person. And then when I’m not reorganzing my daily routine or trying to find money in the sky to pay for things like tomatoes and onions, I have this weight loss obsession. Sometimes, I would just stop and breathe ans out-of-the-blue have this insatiable desire to read the many books gathering dust in my living room and on the various floors of the house. If I could just read novels or even just magazines and blogs all day I would be happy as a bee. Not that I know for sure if bees could be any happier when reading. What have I been up to this week? Of course, there’s this desire to brisk walk every single day because it’s fun. I would never have guessed how enjoyable walking would be. My tummy has shrunk a bit, I think. I still eat a lot, of course. I guess the one thing I would never ever do again is to deprive myself of my favorite food. And I tell you, they’re many. But if desperation hits again, I might. Just for the sake of doing something drastic and feeling the false sense of control. I dunno. For now, I’ll just continue to walk.

By the way, I saw my ex on TV yesterday. His business got featured in a television show and he hasn’t changed a bit. He’s still good looking and his body is still hot. When I saw him, I thought my heart would leap out of my body. That’s how nervous I felt. I don’t know why but he stills makes my heart beat faster. I could literally hear every beat. Fuck him. To think he made me shed buckets of tears when we were still together. I should hate him for Christ’s sake. And yet I have this feeling of what ifs. Fuck him. What’s so special about him anyway? Did I say he was good-looking? Actually, he’s not but many girls go head over heels over him. My gawd, I should stop this. But I still have a confession to make. A stupidity, actually. But that would be another post.

happy hormones

Tags: ,

This is supposed to be a diet blog but I’ve noticed that I have been ranting on and on about my sister (who evidently is a biatch). So let’s stay true to it by telling you my new plan of attack. Yesterday I brisk walked for 45 minutes around our neighborhood. Never mind the dogs and the occasional disturbing looks from my neighbors, I still went through with it. And I’m super glad I did. I never realized how enjoyable walking would be. Mayber they’re right that exercise releases endorphins in your body. You know, the happy hormones. By the way, are those available in drugstores? I wanna have one just in case I don’t get to exercise. Anyway, I felt good the whole day. Although it did nothing for my appetite, I still ate like a man who just had sex. But I plan to brisk walk from now on. I think if my diet stays the same and I add exercise to my daily regimen, I would lose weight. That’s logical, right?

dailies: rain and summer

Well, it’s raining today but I had to get up early because MG has moving-up practice in school. It would have been nice to sleep some more or just stay in bed while sipping hot tea. It’s bed weather. I just got home and since my mind and body are now active for anything except napping, I guess it’s best if I just update the number of blogs I have. One more week and it’s officially summer vacay for the kids and me. How ironic that it’s raining outside while typing summer. I still don’t have definite plans yet where we’ll be going this Holy Week. I know my brother and his family are going to Subic. My sister will be off to Boracay but without her kids. And since she’s leaving her kids behind, I plan to take them with me if and when we go out of town. Where are you headed this summer? I hope it’s somewhere sunny and bright. Happy summer! =)

sister

love-hate relationship

Tags: ,

I love summer. But I hate it, too. Especially now that I’m feeling a bit dehydrated and my urine comes in trickles, what’s to love? It’s too much heat for one planet. I guess Global Warming is true. Anyway, I’m just ranting here and after waiting for a week if my sister would treat us to lunch or dinner for her daughter’s birthday last week, I’m now fuming with anger. C’mon, I treat everyone of my family (meaning sister, brother, and their kids and maids) when it’s my birthday and my kids’, even though they even forgot to greet during my last birthday. Is it too much to ask if I expect to get an invite to anything? Even just coffee. Even my brother is the same way but he’s been that way since we were kids so I already got used to it. But from my sister, who used to borrow my clothes, shoes and bags and has now shifted to borrowing my pieces of jewelry, I expect more. So I’m feeling shit towards her now. And would you believe she doesn’t answer my calls lately. Not a return call from her after I’ve tried to reach her several times this week. F*$k!!!!

summer

what have I been up to?

Tags:

I must have fallen asleep at some stage because when I woke up, I realized a week had already passed. Even worse, I was still fat. I don’t even want to think about the details of last week. I just want to think about the summer ahead and the possibilities of me traveling to some exotic beach and staying there for a week, at the very least. I love the beach so much. And the beach life. And the beach people. And I can go on and on. I just don’t like the heat too much and the glare of the water at high noon. But those are just few irritants I could live with in exchange for the beach bum life.

So what are your plans for summer? Are you getting ready to don that two-piece swimsuit of yours? Me, I’m still the one-piece gal. God, kill me now or kill my fats if you please…
