Best Cardio

I love it when I sweat a lot I know that I'm burning calories which is definitely a good thing unlike before I get totally irritated when I perspire especially when I'm wearing make-up it makes me feel like I'm melting. They say that wearing makeup while working out is not good for the face but I can't help it I look like a zombie without it. Going back to boxing, this sport did not just help me lose weight but it taught me discipline. I've been boxing for 8 months now, I'm happy with the end result. I feel stronger and healthier.

Coffee and Some Movies

Another gloomy day. It's been raining a lot these past few days according to the news that a typhoon or maybe it's just monsoon rains I'm really not sure. The weather is becoming more and more unpredictable, just like my state of mind. Maybe it's just lack of sleep or something. 

I was home by 3:30 in the morning then stayed awake for 2 hours thanks to 7eleven's French Vanilla coffee. I did my usual stuff online like checking my emails, my DeviantArt, facebook, etc. 

I saw an advertisement regarding getting paid just by answering surveys I got curious when I saw testimonials from people who started working from home and get paid via check just by answering surveys online. Sounds promising eh? My intuition tells me that I shouldn't fall for this crap right away so I did my own research and found out that there are scams. Some are for real but anything wanting you to shell out money is definitely not worth a try for sure there's something fishy about it. I decided to give it a try I signed up anyway for free to some websites I'll find out myself if this is all bull or if I'm going to get something extra out of it so I'll wait and see. 

I went out earlier to deposit twin sissy's check she can't do it she's kind of tied up this week she can't drop by at the bank. I checked out Liberty Center just a few blocks away I had lunch at Mang Inasal's Pecho Pac for takeaway I'm so stuffed I'm not having dinner anymore. I'll go boxing tomorrow to burn all the calories I put into my system this week.

I feel pretty despicable today. I watched the movie "From Within" (2008) that I downloaded last week I want to see how different is Thomas Dekker in this movie after I fell in love with his character as "Taylor," a cancer patient in "My Sister's Keeper" just to get disappointed with this one. It's another boring and lame suspense movie, really. I didn't like it at all I should've watched "Resident Evil" first even if the copy is not good yet it's a cam rip I can't find any DVD rip yet.

Work is becoming such a pain in the neck I only come to work for the heck of it, wait for my rest/pay day. Can I just get paid without having to work hard? 

Sucker

Home alone. I'm off from work God knows how tired I am this week. Five days of work is like forever because of the neverending queue not to mention the "snake seating" rule that's absurdly annoying to me. I hate the fourth floor  of our company's office it's too cold in there. There's no pantry and the noise is just unbearable. I'm also a little pressured with my CSat (customer satisfaction) score it's below the passing rate last month so I have to make up for this month. This whole CSat bridge (like a probation thing) doesn't make sense to me. I hate it when I worked my ass off just to get a low score for a misdirected survey. Well, at least I'm not desperate enough to do magic just to get a high score. My point is, I think the management should investigate agents who are getting very high scores and tons of survey returns because they might doing something. A song goes "I work in a call center, until something better comes my way," sad but true. 

I only had four hours of sleep. I took care of our laundry and cleaned the house as well. I can see dust crawling everywhere I can't stand it. I craved for Mc Do so I ordered cheese burger meal and caramel sundae from for brunch I don't know why I didn't enjoy it I'm thinking my appetite isn't happy with fastfood anymore? I don't know but if that's the case then good. I'm working out tomorrow so I'm not worried. We ran out of Fitshape my sister orders from her officemate and was promised that she'll get it tomorrow I hope so, I can't live without it anymore. 

Restless Rest Day

It's the second day of my interim off I don't want to be stuck at home yesterday so I met up with my elder sister at Robinson's Place Metro East to give her something important it was real quick we never had a chance to talk. Not to waste time since I haven't been to that mall for the longest time and I'm still feeling a little tired I decided to stroll around to see if I'll find any cool pouch bag but to no avail. I checked out Sta. Lucia Mall just beside this mall but I didn't find anything there that interest me either, too bad.



Commuting from Mandaluyong to Marcos Highway isn't very convenient for me anymore because it's going the opposite direction from where I live now. When my family still live near Antipolo Cathedral everything is pretty accessible. Jeepney and TX terminals are literally just a few steps away from our house but things changed through the years our main house is no longer a residential space it became a ladies boarding house/commercial space. My parents and brother are now residing in Baguio they come down occasionally if dad has some business to take care of in Manila or if he needs to check on my other siblings living in our house along Sumulong highway. I think if I have my own car things would be a lot easier.



I'm supposed to spend my rest day Sumulong to see my 2-year old niece and personally give her the cake I promised but my sister's got sore eyes again. I don't know how many times she had that sore eyes since she was a kid. She's very prone to catch all sorts of airborne viruses for some weird reason so I can't stay there. 




Before going home to the apartment that my twin sister and I are renting, I dropped by at SM Megamall and finally found myself a cute pouch bag in Bench, at last. I'm starving I thought I'd try the food at this new Japanese restaurant called Karate Kid where Ohana, the Hawaiian barbeque restaurant stood before. I loved Ohana's "BBQ porkchop" when they're still there, it tastes so darn good too bad they're gone too soon.


I ordered Karate Kid's "Japanese creamy chicken pasta" and I enjoyed it. The creamy part is good, the carbonara sauce has a good texture and the portion is not too big nor small for my appetite it's almost perfect except on the chicken part I noticed that they're not generous enough with chicken pops but it's not too big of a deal the taste compensated for it. I so love their iced punch tea I regret not having the bottomless option it left me wanting for more, sigh. If you're craving for Japanese food and want something more affordable than Tokyo Tokyo I suggest you try Karate Kid just for kicks, the food is just as good.


I did some laundry, had my nails done and last but not the least, movie marathon. Thanks to my friend who gave me two disks of movies I haven't downloaded yet. My favorite so far is My Sister's Keeper from the director of The Notebook Nick Cassavetes. This is a real good movie I bet even if you have a heart hard as a rock it'll soften and leave you mellow, in a good way. For the movie's synopsis, click here. By the way, Kate's (Anna's elder sister) boyfriend Taylor portrayed by Thomas Dekker, is a cutie despite his baldness and lack of eyebrows I kinda liked his character. I didn't know of his existence as an actor and that he even starred in movies like "Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) and From Within (2008) hadn't I watched this movie. Btw, I checked out the trailer of "From Within" I find it interesting I'm going to download it later.


I guess that's it for now.

Good food, Bad service

I had a real good workout earlier I sweat out a lot and it felt good. The gym isn't crowded but my twin sissy and I were not able to jog around some guys are playing badminton on the other side of the court I'm afraid I might get hit by a racket. I like working out on a Sunday so I a different trainer for a change hehe. 

It's lunch time when we finished our work out I have to buy stuff at the local mall called MP in Kalentong, Mandaluyong we went there after. Outside this mini mall we saw Mang Inasal's (Ilonggo for Mr.Barbeque) signage we decided to check it out. After the lady at the cashier took our order she informed us a little too late that they don't have available table for 2 anymore. The second floor is close for renovation so she suggested we share a table with other customers and we don't like that. It's not like we're being "difficult" or anything, we just don't like eating with strangers, period. The place is really crowded their tables aren't big enough it'll be really uncomfortable. We decided to have our food to go and ate it as soon as we got home. It would help if we're advised ahead of time that there are no more tables but I think it was done intentionally not to drive customer's away, talk about poor customer service. We're so stuffed we had movie marathon after and munched on chips that we bought from Mini Stop. I'm not worried eating junk once in a while we make sure we eat something healthy for the most part anyway.

Pasta and Gelato

I'm insanely tired today I just had three hours of sleep. I woke up early so twin sissy and I can work out together. We rested for at least an hour, had lunch at Sbarros which is my treat because I finally got my PAG-IBIG STL to check after four weeks. It's worth the wait though, it's way better than I expected. We ordered "baked ziti with meatballs." I miss having pasta at Sbarros it's been a while since we ate pasta. Of course, our day will not be complete without having dessert at Amici, our favorite place for gelato. I'm in love with their gelato cakes. We tried "banana blast" this time but I find it too sweet my favorite is still "sans rival" so far. My happiness is almost complete if only I got my 3k Sodexho pass yesterday I could've used it to buy groceries in lieu of cash hopefully I'll get it on Monday because I worked hard for it. 



Oh before I forgot, I missed blogging about the new Phillips earphone I bought last week.The left earphone of my old one went dead on me it's so overused it's almost like a rat had chewed on it. I love my new earphone it's actually better than the old one but I'm not sure how long we'll be together.
