was reading one of my old cookbooks and came across benefits of opting for organic food. tried researching nearby organic food stores, failed miserably, ended up browser shopping for heels. epic fail. how i ended up looking at studded heels from researching food products boggles even my mind. go figure.
so why was i leafing through my old cookbooks? once upon a time, i had the balls (pardon the term) to wear sleeveless tops to work everyday. today, a pair of flabby arms shamed me and i immediately regretted wearing my old black sleeveless top.
where do i start? the skinny bitch recommends having meatless mondays, or some other day for a start. this i am willing to try. which day though? thursdays? other than that, organics are always always better than the regular thing. unfortunately, because of our fast food dependent generation, almost if not all organic stores are extinct.
the plan is to get off my lazy bum ass and plan 2-week healthy meals, and stick to it without cheating. not exactly depriving me of anything, just making better choices. at the moment, i'm still a complete stranger to what i'm about to do. baby steps. real cute, tiny, baby steps. that ought to get me started.
if i don't post anything about losing a couple of inches and/or pounds for the next month of so, alam na! lazy bones > vanity. ^_^
i used to like katy perry.
then today i found out she compromised her faith.
500 days of summer. i love katy perry. i hated the movie. this isn't about that.
it's been raining at least once a week now. a sure sign summer's ending, and i haven't been to the beach yet. this summer sucks. let me show you the path to getting over it...
step 1: fall prey to an impulse buy. damage: black shoulder bag slash purse from girbaud. (don't mind the baby wipes. was a little too excited to use the bag)
step 2: treat yourself to a new lip & cheek tint (that you probably won't use for your cheeks since you have absolutely zero knowledge and talent on that), particularly on a pretty pretty shade of pink that is nowhere near glossy.
step 3: accept the fact that your mom will never get to use the uber cute bag you gave her for her birthday (or was it christmas, 2 years ago? i forget.), and volunteer to use it for her. ^_^
step 4: browser shop (kinda like window shop, but on a laptop. normal people probably have an appropriate term for this. it escapes me at the moment) and either make plans in your head to go visit and purchase, or drool.
somewhere along the way, i've managed to buy a pair of cute swimming shorts as well. i lack the talent for a good pic for that. maybe when i get to wear it...
it's a particularly dull friday morning today, which is why i'm blogging about stuff i haven't had the chance to blog about, instead of slaving over projects, presentations, and whatnot. kinda expect this entry would be a bit of a soup of unrelated stuff.
let me start with a not-so-recent discovery of pan de manila's chocolate con leche. another one of my simple joys.
it's far from tablea, farther from xocolat, but hey, it works for me. it gets me through my coffee ban days and the hot chocolate smell helps me survive the everyday stress. it has a rich flavor without being exceedingly sweet; simply perfect with a warm pandesal and kesong puti.
moving on.
after two weeks here at my new office space, i'm bored out of my wits half the time. the other half, i'm walking back and forth to the area where i used to be. my new, ummm, cubicle is simply so far away from civilization everything else. it's not all that bad though. i get some privacy, and i'm farther away from my (biting my tongue here to refrain from inserting an insulting adjective and/or expletive) boss. unfortunately, the distance does not deter him from coming to me for every little thing. here's a sample email i got:
every. little. darn. thing.
next.
it's summer and i've been looking forward to a road trip ending at a beach. lots of sun, sand, and water! first up: outing with tan and friends. (insert game show buzzer tone for incorrect answers here) timing was off and it simply is not practical nor enjoyable to travel to baler with my red flag up. next: office outing. this is supposedly scheduled tomorrow. haven't had any announcements on the final details yet. might not push through. crap. there goes my summer.
office changes. got transferred to a new desk. i have yet to decide if it's good or bad.
i know, i know. i have too much stuff.
