grapefruit diet, anyone?

i'm trying to shed excess fat. i've got way too much of 'em in my system (anyone who wants them, they're yours, free! haha!). i used to be reed-thin (somewhere around 90-99lbs. yeah, size zero. i used to buy my clothes at the pre-teens department because none would fit in the women's dept). now, i'm somewhere in between (120-130 lbs. i'm not telling. haha!).

my mom would tell me to go on a diet. i would say. yeah, later! so, here's what happened to me. i became a blob (well, sorta.) she would now say i look more of a mom than her.

then, we went to the mall sometime last week to check out a few fridges she wanted. she said it's about time that we replace our fridge with a new one because the one we're currently using is like, 30 years old. it could pass as an antique (if only there are fridge collectors anywhere who's willing to pay for our dear old fridge).

she promised she'd buy me the straightening iron if i get back to my original size. i've been looking at that iron for months now.

i don't want to start ranting about that iron, so i'll go back to the original topic why i'm blogging today. aside from the fact that i want that iron soo sooo bad, i think it's about time i become thin again. why? here's why..

1. i can't walk long distances anymore without stopping to catch my breath. i get tired easily when peepee and i walk around the mall, doing just grocery stuff.

2. seeing my fat self in the mirror is kind of gross.

3. i want to be able to fit back into the clothes that i used to wear.

4. i'm sick of seeing myself fat.

anyhoo, my mom recommended a diet that doesn't require excercising. none at all. it only requires that you eat the specified amount of grapefruit for each meal. i don't think it would be too hard for me since i love grapefruit and eating them on the daily basis is not a problem.

i'm planning to start tomorrow. well, good luck to me (i'll be needing it!)

it will last 12 days and i'll keep you posted on my before and after weigh-ins.

errands..

it was my rest day last monday and tuesday. monday, my dad and i went to ust to (finally) meet with his doctor. it was an entire day wasted because we were sitting in front of the doctor's clinic, on very uncomfortable, padded benches. it wasn't until after around four hours of waiting before we were able to speak with the doctor.

tuesday was a bit hectic. i accompanied my mom with some errands she had to do. we left the house at around 9:30-10:00 am to go to PNB along cm recto ave. my mom was able to get a seat right away. thing was, there was only one lady working on all the people queued. so, needless to say, it took us about an hour or so, before my mom got entertained. one more problem is, we still had to meet this person so we could give a package that was sent through my mom. the meeting was arranged in between 11:00am to 11:30am in jollibee in bustillos. since my mom is still at the bank, she told me to go to jollibee without her to meet up with this person. so, i did. i told my mom i'd wait for her there before we go home. so after i've given the package, i waited for my mom inside jollibee (it was sizzling outside!). when she got there, we went home to eat lunch.

she said she still had to fill out forms for her re-entry visa (or permit, i think). she had an air21 messenger pick it up at home. the courier arrived around 1:30-2:00 in the afternoon.after the documents were picked up, we went to GSIS (near MOA). i didn't know that it was there. the travel time (going to gsis) took longer than the minutes we stayed inside the office. i think we stayed there for just ten minutes (or even less). my mom was told that she would be getting the money after a month (it took her almost two years before she got the cheque from her last work!)

after leaving the building, my mom wanted to go back to moa to eat. after filling ourselves, we went home, and the ride home was worse..huhu..our backs (and butts) were aching!

newbies..

aside from the skittles that i got from my mom, i also got four more new thingies from her. first off, a black MAC make up bag. my mom said it was a freebie. the actual items that were bought were: 1. a mac frost lipstick in solar plum, 2. mac liquidlast liner in brassbeat, and 3. mac eyeshadow in cranberry. i wasnt able to get a picture of the eyeshadow. i just don't know where it would look best with. i think these three items would look good together. hopefully they would. i'll test it on wiz later when he wakes up. hehe..

facebook...

i'm a member..still learning the ropes..haha..

a day of errands turned into a day wasted

my dad and i met up today at ust hospital for his doctor's appointment. we met around 12noon. we were 10th on the list. we waited for almost four hours before we got called. we waited for such a long time, when we came back after eating lunch, the doctor was still checking patient number 7. award winning.
when it was our turn to speak with her, the entire check up lasted for what, maximum fifteen minutes. the only reason why it took a while before we went out of the clinic was because my dad was given a flu vaccine. he was also given his first once a week shot of Eprex.
so, we got home around four thirty, i think.
haay...such a waste.
