The One With The Lost (And Never Wanting To Be Found Again) Weight


Just so excited to tell you all
That due to the illness(es) I had
From the past several weeks
I have lost

69 kgs
(Editor's Note:
Correction: 11 kgs)

I'm now officially 70kgs

It's amazing

On a down side
All my pants are now too big for me
And I have to use the last hole in my belts
And STILL the pants are loose

Time for a new wardrobe?

Also
I've lost some muscle mass
NOT GOOD!
Need to hit the gym again
Next year, then

ps:
On another note, I'll be out of the city from tomorrow till this Saturday.
Gonna celebrate New Year's Eve and Day
At Mar del Plata
With friends and loved one

Life's nice right now. . .

The One With The Sick Ramblings

Ok

So I've been sick since I got back from my Peru Adventure.

Got me a severe throat infection that prevented me from being able to eat or drink
Coz of that, I've not been able to eat for almost a week
Add diarrhea to that equation
And you got me looking skeletal

I got no energy
And doing mundane tasks seem too difficult

I took a passport photo yesterday
And I must say
I look FUGLY skinny and dark

Today is the 5th day I've been taking the inflammatory medicine
And it's the last day to take it
Seems like my throat's better
Though I still have to be careful of what I drink and eat
To prevent from further pain

Waiting for Tam to pass me photos so I can begin writing about the Peru Adventure
It was awesome
Despite me being sick most of the duration of the trip

Last Wednesday was my 29th birthday
Big hoo haa there
Was sick
Wasn't feeling festive
And as I'm used to by now
No gifts . . .
Have never been big on my own birthdays since I was a kid
Some syndrome about having it a day after dad's birthday
Strike another lame birthday for the records

So,
Wait for further updates . . .

The One With Life's Musical to Rent's Musical

The other night, I was watching (for the umpteenth time) the movie adaptation of RENT.

Sometimes, babe, this is how I feel about us:




Maureen
:
every single day,
i walk down the street
i hear people say 'baby so sweet'
ever since puberty
everybody stares at me
boys girls i can't help it baby
so be kind and don't lose your mind
just remember that i'm your baby

take me for what i am
who i was meant to be
and if you give a damn
take me baby
or leave me

take me baby or leave me

Maureen:
a tiger in a cage
can never see the sun
this diva needs her stage
baby lets have fun
you are the one i choose
folks would kill to fill your shoes
you love the lime light to now baby
so be mine and don't waste my time
cryin' 'oh honey bear are you still my, my, my baby?'

take me for what i am
who i was meant to be
and if you give a damn
take me baby or leave me

no way, can i be what i'm not
but hey, don't you want your girl hot?
don't fight, don't loose your head
'cause every night who's in your bed?
who?
who's in your bed?

spoken:kiss pookie

Joanne:
it won't work
i look before i leap
i love margins and discipline
i make lists in my sleep baby
whats my sin?
never quit
i follow through
i hate mess but i love you
what do with my improptu baby?
so be wise 'cause this girl satisfies
you got a prize but don't compomise
you're one lucky baby

Joanne: take me for what i am
Maureen: a control freak
Joanne: who i was meant to be
Maureen: a snob yet over attentive
Joanne: and if you give a damn
Maureen: a loveable droll geek
Joanne: take me baby or leave me
Maureen: a anal retentave

both: thats it
Joanne: the straw that breaks my back
both: i quit
Joanne: unless you take it back
both: women
Maureen: what is it about them?
both: can't live with them or without them

chorus:
both: take me for what i am
Joanne: who i was meant to be
Maureen: who i was meant to be
and if you give a damn
Joanne: and if you give a damn then
take me baby, or leave me
Maureen:take me baby, take me or la-la-la-la-la-leave me
both: take me baby or leave me
spoken: guess i'm leaving i'm gone!


But then, I feel the following more:



MIMI
Without you, the ground thaws, the rain falls, the grass grows.
Without you, the seeds root, the flowers bloom, the children play.
The stars gleam, the poets dream, the eagles fly, without you.
The earth turns, the sun burns, but I die, without you.

Without you, the breeze warms, the girl smiles, the cloud moves.
Without you, the tides change, the boys run, the oceans crash.
The crowds roar, the days soar, the babies cry, without you.
The moon glows, the river flows, but I die, without you.

ROGER
The world revives

MIMI
Colors renew

BOTH
But I know blue, only blue, lonely blue, within me blue.

MIMI
Without you.
Without you, the hand gropes, the ear hears, the pulse beats.

ROGER
Without you, the eyes gaze, the legs walk, the lungs breathe.

ROGER
The mind churns!

MIMI
The mind churns!

ROGER
The heart yearns!

MIMI
The heart yearns!

BOTH
The tears dry, without you.
Life goes on, but I'm gone.
Cause I die, without you.

MIMI
Without you.

ROGER
Without you.

BOTH
Without you.

The One With The Quick Blogging Before Work

Just finished my daily mug of coffee with milk and oats
Too early to head to work
And Lexi is circling around my feet
I'll have to wipe my pants clean of his fur
AGAIN

I'll start my long holiday tomorrow

So much stuff to do before that
Work stuff, mainly
Not in the mood to do any

I still haven't gotten the bag pack for the Peru trip
Need to get a raincoat, too
And apparently it'll be cold
W-T-F!
It's supposed to be end of spring

Then there's the Madonna concert tomorrow night
I'm more psyched to hear Paul Oakenfold perform as the opening act
I've heard boring things about Maddie's concert the past weeks in other places
So, not caring much about her show

My arms are aching from the gym 2 nights ago
Seems like now I dont go as much
But I think the rests between gym sessions
Are good, coz it helps to fix damaged muscles
And builds up on muscle mass
So, I'm not complaining
Now, if only I can do the same to my blubber
Babe, time for liposuction?

But, frankly speaking
I'm more excited about December 30th
Can't wait for the arrival . . .

Yes, you know who you are

Come here, you!

Wonder if we can still make it for the Mar de Plata New Year trip?

Just rambling . . .
