Your Royal Pudginess

I am so pudgy.

I want to lose weight. I've been trying to lose weight. I've had a few attempts~ jump rope, Pilates, no-carb diet, fruit diet, Del Monte Fruit Express diet. All were short-lived. May they rest in peace.

I am still fat and pudgy. When I was younger, I never ever ever thought I'd get this big. Life's a b*tch, I guess.

I cannot give up Coke. At least, not just yet. I love Coke. Coke makes me happy. Yes, I'm mababaw like dut. We're soulmates. Though I know that it is one of the main culprits for this ever-so-pudgy body of mine, I can't give it up. "Drink me! Drink me," said the Coke.

What should I do? Even my daddy is coaxing me to lose weight. Before he left for the province, he told me to go on a diet and to not eat rice. And if I remember correctly, his words were "Anak, magpapayat ka na. Hindi na yan katawan ng dalaga."

Waaaaahhh!

Excuse me, my life is waiting

I woke up early today. Supposedly, it is the start of the new level of Spanish language classes but much to my disappointment, it was dissolved because there weren't enought students. Peaches and I were already in IC and we tried calling up other classmates and we were able to find 7 more creatures to complete the class. Yay! Class starts next week.

What do we do when we're in Manila at 10am? Surely it would be impractical to just head home. Sayang ang pamasahe. At oras. Peaches and I decided to watch a movie instead. We watched Bewitched (Nicole Kidman). It was a so-so movie. The original series was so much better.

I bought 2 VCDs - Never Been Kissed and Pretty in Pink. I love teenybopper flicks. I guess that could be attributed to the fact that my high school life was boring and uneventful. I lurve watching teenybopper movies cos I get to live life vicariously through them. I swear all those kilig moments make me giddy. I want to start a movie collection of all teenybopper flicks. So far, I only have the following: 10 Things I Hate About You, Mean Girls, Never Been Kissed and Pretty in Pink. I want Some Kind of Wonderful, Sixteen Candles, Breakfast Club and She's All That.

Finished watching Never Been Kissed. Michael Vartan is so cute! I wish I had a teacher who looked like that back in college. Well, we did have good-looking male teachers back in college but it's either he is gay or annoying for some reason I can't seem to put my finger on why they're annoying.

Finished watching Pretty in Pink. I LOVE THIS MOVIE! It is so cheesy but then again it is the basis of its appeal. It's really a nice, feel-good movie. It's just that 80s fashion was hideous. Guys wearing shoulder pads? Molly Ringwald's prom dress? Blech. And oh, Andrew McCarthy's cute. He plays the role of the rich and popular jock who falls for the poor girl. Ang cute. I have to see St. Elmo's' Fire and Mannequin and have my eyes feast on more of Andrew McCarthy's cuteness.

Hair today

Gosh, I can't bloody believe that it is only Tuesday. It sure feels like I've been working forever!

Semi-happy cos I got a free haircut yesterday. At first, I didn't want to get a haircut since I'm really after this "beach babe hair" look~ long, dry, light brown and magulo effect. But then again, I feel oh-so-jologs every time I see my split ends. So I got the haircut. Hey, it's not everyday that you get a free haircut coupon, diba? My hair looked really nice after the blowout. How I wish it would look like that every frickin' day.

Apparently, the Fresh and Bounce hair shampoo commercial on TV is lying. I tried it yesterday and no, my hair is not bouncing as shown on tv. D'oh. I knew that. I should have known better than to believe a commercial. I am just so frustrated that it seems that my hair has a mind of its own. Nagtampo ata. I had it relaxed straight last January, dyed it jologs brown last May then dark brown immediately the next day (cos I swear I can't set foot outside our house donning that jologs blonde hair color). After that, my hair decided to live on its own.

On a happier note: I'm happy that it's the 12th on Friday and in our office 12th of the month= PAYDAY! I love paydays although there's not much to receive. I am stingy on most things but not so much when it comes to food. I could use up my fortnight's worth of salary on food and more food.
