My Midyear Resolutions

1. No unnecessary purchases. Purchases will only be for clothes, shoes, gas, grocery stuff. No gadgets in the meantime (so much for the new digicam I've been eyeing for).

2. Save up for a garden set for our terrace (we want the one similar to the garden chair used in the park scene in Notting Hill).

Well, not really the same. Maybe "almost" would best describe it.


3. Save up for HBs trip next year. K & I have been assigned to do the itinerary. No destination yet, though.

4. Play badminton once a week.

5. Go to the gym at least thrice a week.

6. No sweets (candies, cakes, pastries, colas, etc.).

7. I have been coming in to work early, before 8am in fact, for the past month or so. My motivation: slot at the basement parking & I get to hang out with office friends at breakfast. I hope to keep this up.

8. No to rice (this is a big challenge so good luck to me).

9. Eat more veggies and fruits.

10. Back to oatmeal for breakfast.


Wish me luck!

I Feel Good!

Having stopped playing badminton sometime in 2007 because of a sprained ankle and for personal reasons, I am playing again every Friday...and it feels good!!!

Aside from the FUN of playing badminton with the Friday group, I have gained new friends.

I will still keep going regularly to the gym (at least 3 times a week *fingers crossed *) and the most important thing for me right now: NO INJURIES, PLEASE!

It's An Elevator Thing

Have you been asked:
Who would you like to get stuck with in the elevator?

Usually, it would be somebody you have a crush on. I.D.E.A.L.L.Y.

Unfortunately, the other morning, on the elevator ride to my floor, of all people, I got stuck with one of the bosses in my department. JUST THE TWO OF US!!! He's one of those who I dread to talk to or have something signed by him. If you have something for him to sign, he'll have at least one question related to the document and you should be ready with the answer. Never fails, I tell you. You'll be forced to review the policies.

Anyway, good thing it just stopped for a few seconds. We got out and got on another elevator. WHEW!!

One big Ughhhh.

Hey, gotta go. Gonna watch those vamps and doggies again :p
