high school reunion

this year would be my 10 year high school reunion. whether there is going to be one or not is another story. my thoughts on this age old celebration...i think it is a reason for people to come together and brag about themselves or gossip about others. do these people that i haven't kept in touch with for over 10 years have an effect on my daily life? no. the ones that do play a factor in my life are still actively involved. i would be happy enough to hear through the grapevine that my fellow ex-classmates are doing well. plus who needs a reunion when there's facebook? as you may already have guessed, i do not plan on attending my 10 yr high school reunion if there were to be one. i really do hope everyone is healthy and happy.

this week's weight: 113.5 lbs
weight loss: 0, still haven't learned to eat less

human surroundings

ever think about the types of people that you surround yourself with? you know that friend that always complains about her boyfriend? how about that friend that is always cheerful when you see her? wouldn't you rather be around the latter? it's true that attitudes rub off.

this week's weight: 113.5 lbs

size 24

i bought these jeans about 2 years ago that i've never worn, actually it's hanging in my closet with the tag attached! i have no idea why i bought a size 24 when i'm clearly a size 25! i have been back to the regular workout routine. come home from work at roughly 7pm, workout for 45 mins, shower, then dinner. i've gone to the gym monday, tuesday, and today! i weigh 113.5 lbs currently and my goal is 100. i think it's attainable if i keep this up. my real motivation is my upcoming trip to cancun in may. i've never worn a bikini in my lifetime because i was always insecure with my body. i gotta start living life and quit wasting my youth! i will keep a weekly post of my progress and mark my weight here. i will fit into those size 24 AND look good in them!

update on may 11th: i gave away this pair of jeans to karen on may 3rd. i'm happy that it fits her perfectly. the cut just wasn't for my body type.

updates

wow, i've neglected blogger! life's been pretty WONDERFUL! for christmas i went to s. cali and did the whole highway 1 experience. thanks to my friends, van and ying, i tried one of the best clam chowder at splash city at pismo beach, thanks girls! new year was pretty eventful in that we moved the furnitures from our old house to the new. now my parents are more lonely in a bigger space, how sad. that's why i am going to visit them every weekend of january! chinese new year is around the corner and we're all (significant others and partners) celebrating at my parents'. what i hope to accomplish that day is to see my family in london on cam and say happy new year in person, well, almost in person.

to answer my concern from my previous blog, i'm still very much employed. :)

employment status

i never thought that i'd be in this situation but i am. there's a chance that i might get laid off and i just recently purchased a home. man, being an adult stinks! he reassured me that whatever happens i'll get through it. i mean, what's the worst case scenario? i'm jobless for some time but i'll find something else.

today is thanksgiving so i'm going to list a few things that i am thankful for:

-family & friends
-good health
-red meat! we're having prime rib tomorrow! i'm responsible for making the sides so here's another list:

-carmelized onion with mushroom
-szechuan green beans
-seasoned potatoes

and to finish it off..chewy chocolate chip cookies...mmm...

gym

two days in a row that i went to the gym and ran 3 miles each time. i wonder how long this time will last. i have a problem with committing to a regular workout routine. i have gone 5 days in a row but the following week zilch. this time i'm going to try really hard to make this a regular habit. no dinner until i do my homework (that's what they call it on 'the biggest losers').

i "heart" my new bike

today i took my new bike (bday present from him) for the first real spin around san francisco. we decided to begin our journey at crissy field and boy was parking horrendous! little did we know that the locals gather at this scenic spot to catch the fleet performance (the blue angels were awesome!). from here we rode underneath the golden gate bridge then spun up to the top and enjoyed the gorgeous view. we tried to trek our way to sausalito but the piles of cars that parked in the bike lane and the countless oncoming cars that tried to land a perfect spot across the bridge to watch the show made it an impossible destination. we turned around and zoomed through the bridge back to crissy field. woohoo, i didn't fall once! my butt is sore now but it was totally worth it! i "heart" my new bike.
