Diet Epic Fail

Yummy lunch was at Fazoli's this afternoon. Actually this is a change of pace for me since I am always in the graveyard shift. Daylight for me is really weird. I don't even want to get into the scorching hot sun but thinking about it, it looks like I will have to be under it after a few hours. I always take a cab going home and if my guess is right, around 3 PM would spell ME as a solar panel.... one that only absorbs heat! LOL!

I already finished the meetings we planned this morning and tomorrow we will have the additional person in our team. I hope he lives upto our expectations. Well not really... I guess in everything that we'll encounter we have to test the waters. I heard he's a good guitar player and he has done some pretty neat stuff with it. I saw his videos in flickr and he was doing some string tricks here and there. At least we got something fruitful out of this day. But I'll be going back to work later at 12 AM. I wonder if I can really wake up that early LOL!

Note for tomorrow: Eat less, eat healthy and watch your weight!

The FACEBOOK Learning Experience

I am so addicted to FACEBOOK that I literally keep my laptop open the whole day so I would not miss anyone updating their profiles, posting events, games and everything in between. I have been a fan of a couple of groups too which interest me. I did not know it was possible but I learned a thing or two about FACEBOOK; it is also one of the best marketing tools you can ever find. Even the ones running for the presidency have their own accounts and committed to informing everyone everyday about where they are and what they are doing. It definitely does have a target audience because most users are adults. There are those fan pages where you get to learn a lot from too like Invesp. At least I get to see some industry leaders who know how to grow ECOMMERCE markets even at a time when markets are crashing down. One thing I never noticed before I joined the social network is that I get to learn new things from other people. It was definitely not in the instructions but being the small pawn in projects that I am, I like the thought of getting ideas and short nibbled information on management. I plan to work on this subject when I take my masters in June. Thank you for the learning experience FACEBOOK!

Hayyy... I Am Gaining Weight =(

I am kinda depressed today. It looks like I did gain a lot of weight over the week and it is showing. Or maybe it is just my hair growing too fast. I checked my weight yesterday and I think I gained 2 pounds because I did not work out that much in the last 2 weeks. Something has to be done to stop this vicious cycle of yoyo diets, binge eating and the habit of not working out after work. I need to discipline my self again. Although what disappoints me is that I ate a double cheeseburger again this evening. It is not really healthy to do that on a day where I am not working out again! Sheesh I feel so guilty. =(


Anyway, I still have those big guns that I have. My biceps are evidently getting bigger and I can do maintenance for that. Although I need to do more ab work than the usual and run a couple of kilometers. I mean it should be more than an hour to spend in the treadmill. I also had some knee pains a week ago, and I think it is already okay to run a bit faster later. Yeap I will be working out today, and I will concentrate on more cardio + weight training.

Wish me luck and hope I don't waste my hard earned money paying for the thousands of pesos worth of gym time... I probably am just gonna be drinking expensive brewed coffee there LOL!

From The Russia I Love!

I always wanted other people to see women like I do. I always am with models and beautiful people when I go out. Sometimes I always think about what it's like to settle down because almost all my friends are married already. I think I am the only bachelor left. I am not pressured though. Though just this weekend, all my dream girls really suddenly appeared on TV. I was watching a fashion show, a movie and a tennis match that time and they were all there! One common thing was happening; they were all beautiful Russian women. If Mail Order Brides were available now I would be the first one in line in the post office.

While watching the fashion show on FTV, I noticed one gorgeous supermodel. I love NATALIA VODIANOVA! She does print; editorial and catwalk fashion duties and I just can't get enough of her. This was not the first time I have seen her obviously. She looks so sweet and adorable. With those eyes that could make your knees weak in a second, I would never ever look at another girl. If only she would come to my home make me breakfast in bed and tuck me in at night with those deep set doe looking eyes that would be the best day of my life!

Who does not know MARIA SHARAPOVA?! She is bar none the prettiest tennis champion that Russia has produced. She is the world's number one and everyone adores her. I love her because of her simple looks. I feel that if I am going to marry someone like her I will be the best sparring partner she would ever get. It would be okay to lose a match. I adore these ladies who hail from a country that I also am interested visiting soon. That distinct strong accent and charming disposition in life that might have emanated from their culture is so appealing to me. I love them all and if I had the chance to marry someone in the future, I'm sure to consider Russian women on my list!

I Am Sending It!

Remember the time my brother dropped his luggage when he was on his way to the airport 2 months ago?! (Story here) I had to mail his bag all the way to Ireland so he could have something to wear to work. He had his shirts and formal pants on it so imagine the pain he had to go through buying signature stuff all over again for his wardrobe. He is not a simple guy so even if it did cost a fortune to send it, Mom made arrangements to have it flown to Dublin but I told her that is going to be abnormally expensive. The cost was not cheap and it was a burden to carry that around. I got some connections in the office and the same people who helped me previously with postcard mailing services. They are the same people who made this freight happen and promised delivery in less than a month. It is going to be shipped and not flown because it is cheaper. Thinking about it, I know he's not going to be happy. It is going to take a lot more time than usual; but a couple of thousand bucks of savings do not look bad either. I hope he understands the cost of flying that. 50 Kilos worth of clothes is expensive in this part of the world to ship to Europe. I'm going to include local post cards so he as something to remember us by. Maybe even get it to be the focal point on one of his rooms after he settles everything. After all the drama that went into retrieving that luggage, I think this will end in a happy chapter since everything is accounted for and shipped to his second home. I would raise my glass remotely for the kind people who helped us get it. He sends his regards to all of them too! Cheers!
