Forgot to share a little something today. So I guess I’ll share more today. give and take.
Saw the sunset while driving home on the 5 today. More like the korean drove, Ninjah slept in the backseat and I played Muffin Knight. One good thing about living on the West Coast. The sun will set beautifully.
Little shoes randomly in the garage. Made my heart melt.
Saw this super cute BCBG shoe but COULD NOT FIND ITS MATE when shopping with the mother. Really hunted for it too. Sad. Rarely do I like to shop for shoes..and like shopping.
Remember when you were in elementary/middle school and you would get those catalogs that were made of recycled paper of books to order? And you were basically ordering the books based on the cover? Well I always wanted the silly books because I didn’t care much for reading. And my mom was just ok with the fact that I wanted to read…so I’d always get the 101 jokes about pets..bugs…siblings..etc. I guess these two were the only ones to survive. I’d also get those random creepy books about skulls and mummies and magic. Too much exposure to R.L. Stine, power rangers and sailor moon.
I remember this author came to our elementary school in the 4th grade and the only reason I read it (and was excited about it) was because her name was Bonnie and that hawks were cool. Especially since red tailed hawks fly around pq looking to eat the “scary things” in our canyon.
Psssssh. So much for that.
Annd I hope that made up for yesterday. I’ve been working what seems like endless 12hr days anyways so not too much outside of work.
Objective: 365 picture project. Attempt at blogging again.
Goal: a more definitive idea for the future to come. Therapy thru words. History of reflections.
Maskells came to visit Cali for Christmas for the first time in years in December. Usually it’s Christmas in January..which isn’t always so bad. Easier on the gift buying when good deals come around. Kicking myself for not settling on doing secret santa this year with our expanding family .. argh!
Overall the end of 2011 and beginning of 2012 has been spent with mostly family, the chunks (edwin) and ninjah. Feels like its been the same story, different year. Here’s to new beginnings of hopes/desires and endings to bitter, nostalgic, non-progressive things.
I’m looking through some of my old pictures from last year & I had a pretty good time. One year ago I was hanging out with some of my HS besties .. finishing up the last year of my undergraduate career .. and made the best of it.
Now here I am chillin’ with Ninjah. I wonder what epic-ness what come out of this weekend. Happy early Birthday to Me. :]
Anyways, this is what I’m doing today! Thanks Annieman!
————————
On a side note, I want to make something crafty for some of the kids that are graduating this year. I also want to make something crafty for Tiff for her upcoming birthday. She recently passed away this year and it really took a toll on me. She was always so great with the crafts when it came to making things for her fams/littles in APO. I haven’t decided what I wanted to make for her this year but I’m thinking some crafty looking roses .. but of course blinged out.
Hope you’re doing great up there champ. We miss you down here.
I think Mother Nature got a hint of my mixed moods yesterday when it rained and shined throughout the day. It was kind of a bad day. Kind of a bad day where at the end of it I asked Edwin to get some major loads of fast food and I ate most of it. Bad habit of eating my emotions.
So I’ve really been into making Ninjah wear these handkerchiefs these past couple of weeks and I don’t think she minds them at all. In fact, she might even LIKE them. Who knows. But I’ve been slowly buying more every once and a while and I think they make her look pretty badass.
At least I’m not into other crazy dog things like dressing her up as different animals everyday. That’s only once a year.
Alright, so let’s see what else is going on my life. I’m still working at that bank as a supervisor. “Eh” sums it up. Still with the Korexican. Hmm. I work in Newport Beach now where the morning highlights of my day is getting to see the beautiful beach as the sun rises but, the last time I was at the beach was probably half a year ago.
I graduated UCI with a bachelor’s degree about 7 months ago and I guess some could say that I have nothing to show good use of it so far. But that would only be some.
I’m stuck between that stupid rock and annoying hard place of what to do with my life. A friend of mine just asked me recently, “Hey, I thought you were going to travel the world by now.” Hey, me too. Seems like the benjamins are a little hard to roll in nowadays when you’ve become Jane Schmane. I wonder if that’s somebody’s real name.
Alright. Have to go get ready for work now …
I guess to be more optimistic about life I’m still in tact and my doctor doesn’t think anything is wrong with me. I’ve got eyes to see the people I love and ears to hear what’s left of good music. My heart still goes out to those in Japan & Yemen who have to do what they need to do to get by.
So I guess I feel like I don’t blog as much as I used to because I don’t have as much going on for me.
At least that’s what it feels like. And reminded of. Yay for graduating college.
Edwin has convinced me to do P90X .. so in light of being motivated in doing that, and scribbled ramblings, I’m hoping to use this again. Charlie does after all pay for this. I think.
Edwin and I were in San Diego this past weekend visiting family mostly and saw some good ol’ friends. However, since we did not work out this weekend I was a little frustrated on what we would do about the workout plan. So here’s to Day 4, 5 and 6. All in the next two days. Oh, Tomorrow. Tomorrow we are doing Yoga and Legs & Back, Ab Ripper? This was a little helpful in me not freaking out about having to start all over.
What should I do if I skip a day or two of P90X?
By Tony Horton:
“Improvement and change occur when you do things often. Stopping and starting all the time will kill any momentum
you need to succeed. You must find ways to stay in the game. Done consistently, moderate forms of exercise provide far better results than
the occasional full-body pummeling. A lifestyle that includes doing multiple forms of exercise 5 to 6 days a week guarantees results.
[However...]
Stop beating yourself up if you can’t sustain and/or maintain your “perfect” plan. It’s okay to miss a workout once in a while. It doesn’t mean that your process has gone to hell in a handcart. It doesn’t mean you have to start over. Life happens. Priorities shift. So what? Big deal. Just
start up where you left off. If you’re doing Power 90 or P90X®, just add the missed days to the end of the program. I decree the burden lifted!
Of course, you must recognize the difference between a missed workout or two and a missed week or two. If you miss 2 weeks of exercise, it will take at least that long to get back to where you left off. If you miss one workout once in a while, you lose nothing.”
It’s raining pretty harshly in Irvine. I got Ninjah to wear her pajama suit though. :]
Oh where to start over in these kinds of things. Oh, where. I wish I had time to learn how to re design my website. Maybe I could pay someone in cupcakes to do it for me. It’s kind of weird journaling in something about my life again. I kind of miss it.
Maybe when I get a new laptop, or stop breaking all of my electronics, this could get going somewhere again. G’night.
And yes, Milk Chocolate Toffee Macadamias are really good.
I held the door open for at least 10 people yesterday. Only 4 of them said thank you. UGH! But I also hugged somebody and asked them if they needed somebody to talk to. :]
Today IIIIII don’t know what I did but I think it was something nice.
I really need to study. Pulling all A’s ‘FO SHUR’ on these finals. wapow. Diggin’ the playlsit so far under Glee Cast on Pandora.
b*tran out because edwin will get mad knowing i didn’t study.
