100 Challenge

/ iamsupercarla / Leave a comment

Remember my post a few days back?  My desire to lose weight and adapt a healthier lifestyle made me want to do the 100 challenge.  Admittedly, I’ve been doing the second one more often, even if I will not go to the gym that day.  But when I saw in the 360 Fitness website the result of more circuit training to one of their members, I’ve decided to do the same.

It’s not that I’m not happy with my body.  I’m not happy with how it looks.  I compare myself a couple of years back to the one I see in the mirror now, and although others will say that the weight gain made me look “better”, it definitely did not make me feel healthier.  I always feel tired and heavy and burdened somehow.  Worse, unlike before, I am having a hard time staying on my heels for more than four hours.  AND I LOVE MY HEELS!  So yeah.  There.

Maybe you could do the 100 challenge too.

Hunger Games Official Trailer is Out!

I almost went out of my mind when I saw the Hunger Games trailer!  GAAAAAAH.  I am so excited for this movie so they better not screw it up.

From the looks of it, Jennifer Lawrence seems to be a fitting Katniss Everdeen.  The transformation in this clip is not as evident, but I’d love to be proven wrong.

Cannot wait for 2012!

I love earrings!

I was just browsing at Forever21 Makati the other day and I noticed that the accessories station was at 30% off.  I couldn’t resist.  It took me about an hour to pick out my goods.

I really went crazy for it.  Hahahaha.  I couldn’t resist it.  Most items were just around P305!  I know!!!

This necklace immediately caught my attention.  I just love that it’s so simple and so chic at the same time.  Accented with a gold plate, this would easily fit in any plain dull corporate wardrobe.

I’ve been dying to get wings for accessories.  I think I gravitated to this one more than the rest.  When I got home and tried it on (you’re no longer allowed to try on earrings in the store for hygienic purposes), it makes a little fluttering noise.  I loooooove this piece.  My head is now thinking of ways to wear this to work.

I got these two because they’re just catchy.  Not to mention, cheap.  My niece and nephews would be very entertained with these.

This is just so chic!  I love this to pieces.  The first time I saw it, I just grabbed it!  Very dagger like, yes? :)

It’s almost odd to not get a “sulit” pack from Forever21.  Hahahaha.  I love this ensemble because of the choices you have.  You can mix and match it with your clothes or your mood, if not both.

This young lady’s pair is just too adorable for words.  This would be the perfect accessory to my next date with You-Know-Who.  :)  As if there’s any other.

So yeah.  That’s 7 accessories and my total bill is roughly P1,200.  I think it’s money well spent. :)

Capping the longest work week ever.

Like I ranted in my previous post, I’ve been overstaying in the office for quite some time.  I honestly don’t like it, but because it was getting things done, I’m okay to do it.  But as things get done, things pile on again.  UGH.  It’s a never ending process.

So I called Adah and told her to drink with me.  I believe we both deserved it.  I missed my oldest friend.  And by oldest, I mean she’s been my friend the longest.  Just so we’re clear.  Hahahaha.

So yeah.  Hahaha.  I made her happy.  She deserves it. <3

In the middle of it all, I decided to bury the hatchet and just call Mike.  He came almost immediately.

It’s been a while since I last saw the guy, and he packed on a lot of weight.  But it’s all good weight.  He has a fight coming up on the 27th.  I wonder if I’ll be able to go.

Top Grill in Jupiter Street might not be the most ideal place to hangout on a Friday night, given its conditions and reviews that service can be crappy, but I soooo love the Beckys there!  Absolutely adore.  :)  I think they know me well now, so the ice bucket is always filled and the drinks just keep coming.

I think we had about three buckets of beer, two servings of pulutan and two rice meals for my two friends.  Hahahaha.

All in all, it was a good good good night.  It deserves a repeat.

Too many mind

/ iamsupercarla / Leave a comment

So it’s6:30 in the evening and I’m still at work. I clearly recall spending at least 14 hours here yesterday. I hate it when that happens. It’s not that I don’t like showing dedication, but it’s mostly because I could have easily been doing something else. Working till the wee hours is not required of me but for some reason, lately, I’ve been doing what is not required of me.

Maybe it’s an escape. I’ve had too many things on my mind.

Sometimes, I feel like I’m always balancing everything. All the things I have to deal with, I have to maneuver just to keep my sanity. I’m not complaining; I know far more people have it much worse than me. But when I look at my things-on-my-mind, they all look so simple. They seem simple, uncomplicated. Yet, it still keeps me awake late at night and gives me startling mornings.

I need a real escape. Work just adds to the stuff I should not be over-thinking.

Like he said, “Too many mind.”
