the summer that was- PART1 [Health Concious?]

I've been doing too many activities this summer that it made it almost impossible for me to write 'em all down. In tagalog... tinamad akong magblog! haha. But seriously, i have too many stories to tell that I have decided to write them in series. And since summer is almost over, I would like to look back on those memories that made this summer experience one of my best yet.

HEALTH CONSCIOUS?
One of the things on my to do list... you know, "the list," is to fit into my 32-in waist pants again. I know it's a long shot considering my March 2011 waistline(which will remain a secret forever by the way) but still... I needed to start somewhere, right? So... as much as I wanted to stay away from the enemy, i had to succumb to it's powers. Behold...The ENEMY:



It was hard! I was so pumped the first day that I got carried away and lifted the heaviest dumb bells, crunched most times, and basically outdid every single person in the gym. The next day, I couldn't even move my arms. The next week, after seven days of physical healing, I went back. This time around, I was less intense and more keen on achieving a realistic goal. With everything in line, I went back as religiously as I can. I lifted weights, I jogged, I played, and I even finished running a marathon. Something amazing happened... I started feeling good. Little did I know that my journey through weight loss would lead me to the path of redemption, acceptance, friendship, and self-discovery(More of all these on next posts).

Anyway, as my "summer weight-loss program" comes to an end, I believe that results are quite favorable. I lost 17 lbs and gained a lifetime's worth of memories.

Haay... It's funny how we know that things do end and still, we wish they wouldn't. And in time, you'll realize that even as time do really pass and some memories fade, that feeling of momentary bliss will remain with you forever.

PS. If you are wondering why I only lost 17 lbs during this summer considering the activities I've done... well, I would like to believe that I would have lost more if not for the muscles that I have packed on during the process. Promise. yun talaga ang dahilan. Maniwala ka :)

samu't saring kwento 7: kwentong SABUG

Maga-alas tres na ng madaling araw. gising nanaman ako, tulog nanaman ang lahat. Isa yan sa mga dahilan kung bakit malungkot ang mga oras na ganito para sa mga tulad kong insoniac. walang kausap, walang kakwentuhan. madalas nasa harapan lang ng monitor. Nag-iisip. Nag-aabang. Naghihintay. Zombie.

Napatingin ako bigla sa dalawang maliit na aparador dito. punong-puno ng mga figurine, souvenir, stuffed toys. Parang itong baboy lang na may pink na ribbon sa ulo. naalala ko, bigay ko to kay mama para sa birthday niya. elementary pa ako noon... ilang araw kong pinag-ipunan para maibigay ko sa kanya sa kaarawan niya... ang ending, hindi nagustuhan. hayun, inaamag sa cabinet. malamang na pag nakita niya ulit ito, hindi niya maaalalang binigay ko sa kanya to. hindi pala uso ang "it's the thought that counts."

andito rin lang sa may lamesa sa sala ang mga photo albums at yearbooks na wala namang nagbubuklat. Diyan ako nagtatago ng mga bold cd's ko nung bata pa ako kaso minsan nahanap ng pinsan ko. siyempre di ako umamin... sabi ko sa tito ko. tapos ang usapan. haha.

andito rin lang nakakalat ang mga dancepads. isa sa amin, isa iniwan ng pinsan ko dito. malay ko ba dun. parang nagpapahiwatig ata. pinabibilis yata ang pagpapapayat ko. matagal na kasi ang usapan naming magpapayat ako. haaay. nagsawa na ata ang mokong sa pangako ko. hindi na niya mahanap yung damit na gusto ko isuot kapag payat na ako. ganun na katagal. haha.
