I am starting anew, and I am starting it now!

Birthday Month: Day Eleven

Posted by yahn @ 05:00 PM.

Last night, my sis invited me to their 'Nutrition Counselling' for this morning. Given that I am free at the time she gave me, I went and had my overall nutritional intake (or whatnot) checked/assessed. And I found out through my body mass index (BMI) that I'm... normal.

Turns out I have average BMI, and that my height never reached my 150 cm claim. Tsk! Other than that, I also discovered that over the past six (6) months, I have lost a total weight of 7.2 lbs or roughly 3 kg. On the average, I was losing a pound every month last year. Interesting.

Anyhow, it also proves my theory that eating lesser and drinking more (water, for that matter) is effective weight loss scheme. It only takes a matter of time. But in the end, you get to maintain your weight for a longer period, which I definitely prefer. Like cramming, crash diets come and go: easily get it, then easily lose it.

Also, since my eating habits have been uncovered, so is my unhealthiness. I learned I haven't been consuming that much energy to keep me going through the day. I already knew this, but I just didn't know how bad it was for me. Worst case scenario is that I become malnourish (yet still not look like one, LOLJK). And so, they prescribed me with a meal plan that suits my interest, and particularly my weight goals.

Honestly, I have this target weight that I've been meaning to reach before I end this 'sacrificial' dieting I'm in. Good thing I asked about it, and it turns out that reaching my goal would make me underweight, which is unhealthy. So, now I'm wondering if I'll still aim for that, or will I just reach out for my maximum, still healthy weight loss.

I'll make use of the brochure and recommended meal plan they gave me once I am ready to accept the fact that indeed, I am _______. :D

I felt rejuvenated.

Birthday Month: Day Ten

Posted by yahn @ 01:50 AM.

I just finished studying for my exam on Wednesday. That fast? Well, I didn't realize, too, that it wasn't really that long. Though I still need to practice solving a few problems. Only, I don't have enough resources for such. Uh-oh.

It's the tenth already, and only nine days to go before I turn another year older. I sometimes wonder why we celebrate our birthday when we know we are getting older, inching away from youth and closer to death. Is it because of the fact that we manage to survive another year of existence and get from birth to where we are now? Is it really gratitude, or simply finding a good enough reason to feel better for ourselves and be conceited even for just twenty-four hours of the year?

Barely a week, too, before I officially launch my new site. I'm getting more and more excited to blog there each day that I spend just looking at it. Really, it isn't that fancy as here, especially when it comes to blogging. But then... I don't know. I just can't explain it now. I'm afraid I might divulge too much information, which I said I would say so there instead of here. The point being: I'll probably launch the new site sooner than expected. Well, I do hope so, before my excitement eats me alive, including the new site release itself!

Planned on starting to jog again this week, but with my exams pushing in, I might move that plan to next week instead. Anyway, I initially intended to walk through the fun run on the 22nd, as I have told everyone else. Might as well execute that plan. LOL.

So tell me: is any of you excited for anything at all?

Well I am. I'm just sorry I can't tell you just yet. The right time will come. I promise.

I felt contemplative.

I heard Usher Raymond.

Birthday Month: Day Nine

Posted by yahn @ 06:02 PM.

Instead of getting my hair cut yesterday, I went home pretty much early after the mass, which is by the way celebration of the 'Three Kings' or the Epiphany. And true enough, I've had my own epiphany late last night.

So I already mentioned in this blog about the new site I've been building for myself that I have discovered over the weekend. Well, working on it for quite some time now has gotten me eagerly excited to start blogging there, and end already my blogging history here in Tab. I have fair enough reasons for moving to another host, but I won't discuss them just yet. We'll see later where I get to openly talk about them--when I have already moved. LOL.

Believe me, it isn't that easy for me to leave behind my current blog host that has faithfully served for more than five (5) years now, which is almost my whole blogging life. But as I pondered upon my reasons for moving, for opening a new blog, and even now deciding to maintain more than one (1) from then on, the light of logical reasoning fortunately shined upon me.

And that, my friends, I won't discuss also further, because it's better if such words are found in that blog already, and not here. LOL. Anyway, you're bound to see my new site soon enough. Just be patient, like I am.

On another note, I got my hair cut today, instead of yesterday, and had it shaped 'V' at the bottom, instead of 'U'. None of my plans had been executed properly, but then the whole point is that I get to tick them off my to-do list. As I always said: enough with words, just get it done!

Also this morning, after successfully having registered officially a tax identification number (TIN), I got my membership card at HBC so I could have a chance at the free pamper treat they have for my birthday. Well, not that I literally got my card, but I'm officially an HBC Exclusiv member now. I do hope I really get pampered next Thursday. Teehee!

Now, I'm just waiting for my membership card to be released, and also for my hair to regain the waviness it lost back in high school. I'm in high hopes that I have, in fact, calculated correctly this time the perfect cut for the wavy, curly locks I'd like to sport this month. Woot!

How are you doing so far with your resolutions, by the way?

I felt curious.

WLNU 23

Posted by yahn @ 04:23 PM.

This entry was supposed to be posted much, much (as in way) early this morning. Anyhow, for the purposes of updating, here it goes still.

Yesterday I went shopping with Gen at SM Calamba. Well, it wasn't really supposed to be a shopping-kind of bonding scheme, particularly for me, but I admit, yes I splurged a little bit even it was unplanned. So unlikely of me, eh? Oh, I simply couldn't miss this adorable item (not-so-much) on display that I fortunately (and intently) found on the racks of the department store! Well, the point is, I'm not sharing just yet what that item is, and I do intend to keep everyone in suspoense of my latest--and maybe even greatest (though not in terms of expenses)--scourge in the shopping arena. Just watch out for it this January, most probably around the week of my birthday.

Anyway, so I got home around 5:00 PM, knowing nobody's home. I didn't bring my laptop, since I had no intention of staying long in Binan. Unfortunately, I had to get back to LB immediately, as my schedule is pretty much jam-packed on the early days of the week. Two exams coming right up, and a few parties to start the week right! Should explain my latest prayer list.

So this week, instead of preparing for my upcoming exams (believe me, studying way too early is not the key; neither is cramming effective by any means) next week, I spent the weekend surfing--not on Facebook, but for a new blog. And what have I found so far? Well, we'll see later on. That's what kept me busy over the last 36 hours or so: prepping up my brand new site. Yikes!

On another note, I'm planning on getting my planned haircut this week. I have a hunch my hair will regain its natural curls--which is exactly what I want! Well, I do hope they twist and turn to my liking, and not on their own. I'm supposed to get my do straightened out, but I figured I could do them after the summer break, when the summer heat has passed. Plus, it will grow pretty much long again, which only means higher straightening cost. Now I wonder: how short should I get my hair cut?

I'll get going now. I'm off to LB in a few hours. Tata!

I felt full.

I heard Charice's Louder.

I read my new site.

Birthday Month: Day Eight

Posted by yahn @ 03:15 AM.

Last time, I said something about things to do with my hair, which I know I haven't completely elaborated with a detailed list. Although it's pretty clear there that the first on such list is to learn, or even master, the art of braiding my own mane and tail. But then, as I continue my research, I realize that I did not possess the most important element of all: the right tools. And in no way do I mean figuratively, like guts or initiative (because, believe, I already have a lot of that, and even more), but literally--and I need them immediately, if you know what I mean.

Anyhow, that is why the priority items in my current shopping list include:


hair pins or clips

 


elastic bands

 


small clamps

 


teasing comb

 


paddle brush

 


roller brush

 


hair spray

 


bumpits

I'd say the bumpits are the most difficult to find. Even I don't know if they exist in the Philippine market! Well, for your sake, I sure hope they do--so you could buy me one in time for my birthday! 

I felt ditzy.

I heard Pink's Raise Your Glass.
