Hello new life! I am gonna be starting as Freshman student in college tomorrow. Now I can really call myself a college student. =)

This time I am really gonna push myself to become an excellent student considering my honors status in the university. This is my chance to prove myself worthy of going on to medical school. Everything is new now... new hair color (mahogany brown!)... new clothes and shoes... new stuff... new LIFE!

K. I am going to sleep now so I could workout in the morning and a have fresh start for the day. Hello professors! I hope I make good lasting impression on them. SMILE! =)

It deems to be complicated why on my recent post I stated how I should be content with the life that I have right now. I should have considered that my life, of course, does not only revolve around me, but also around the people I love. Right at this very moment I could say that I am very upset at the circumstances that my relatives in the Philippines are in now. My aunt and my mom just finished talking over Skype and I was there to hear and see my aunt cry her heart out to my mother asking for help. She needs all the help that she could get from us, financially and spiritually. I am mad and really confused at why my uncle wont help my aunt out. Why when she asked for help he immediately turned her down. How could he? He did not do it in a polite or nice way either. I am furious at how people could be so selfish over money. Yes, we do need money and these days, the world revolves WITH money. I could not help but cry at my aunt's pitiful situation and how I cannot help her right now. I will have money soon and I swore to help her because when we were the ones in need and she had the money, she really helped us. She never left my mother hopeless like what my uncle is doing to my aunt. From all 4 siblings, my uncle is the most frugal one and we understand why. But now that my aunt is in most need, how could he not help her? His reasons are very shallow and selfish. I really cannot understand. He claims to be very religious and every Saturday their is a prayer meeting at his house with food for all the guests. With that being considered, why can't he use some of his money to help my aunt with the smallest amount he could give? Every single penny counts now. I wish he could remember one of the stories from the bible that I learned in grammar school: the story of Lazarus. Lazarus said that no matter how rich you are, you can never bring your money with you to the next life and so there is no use keeping them to yourself. As much as you can, do everything to help. I hope he remembers this one day. My eyes hurt from crying. I have not cried as much for a long time but I could not help it. If I had all the money I need, I will help my aunt at the speed of light with no questions asked.

I pray that he wakes from his selfishness. Moreover, I pray that my aunt overcomes this huge challenge. I know she can.

I have recently read about the book/autobiography by Randy Pausch and somehow, reading it over again breaks my heart into million pieces. For some reason, I am only in my few pages but I kept on stopping and stopping until I just completely stopped and put the book down. It is so gut wrenching that I started to think about how hard life was for him and his family. Thus, before that, I asked myself how he managed to give this last lecture. There are so many reasons why I should be thankful with the life that I have right now, but I still complain. I always say that I wish this would happen, or that I hope I could have done that. Why can't I be just contented with what I have and be happy that I am not sick with only some months to live like him. Technically, this guy has a lot to complain for. He has a wife, 3 very young children, and dreams that cannot be fulfilled anymore. He has already passed away even before I started reading his autobiography, yet, I want to tell him that what he wrote and his courage has given so much inspiration to live my life to the fullest. Truthfully, there is only really one life to live. There are so many things that I want to do and really want to say while I am alive and healthy, but honestly, the first thing I would do is to let all of my loved ones know how much I care for them and how thankful I am that they let me become a part of their life.

"Too many people go through life complaining about their problems. I've always believed that if you took one-tenth the energy you put into complaining and applied it to solving the problem, you'd be surprised by how well things can work out." -Randy Pausch

Even if my heart breaks while reading this, I have to continue. There is exactly 20 days left before school starts. I am excited, yet very scared. In contrast, I am still looking forward to it specially because of my new buddy: Nienke. She is gonna be my buddy for the rest of out college career.

Well,well.... birthday is over. It was fun overall but I had mixed emotions all thru out the day...

-My friends, Mimi, Vic, and Van brought me to Ignite to rent the Rockband room. It was really cool because right when we went in, Sam followed us. I was shocked because he sang for me. Oh dear... If you just knew how wide my smile was. He gave me a candle-less cake because we can't light up anything inside the room since there was a smoke detector. LOL. Sam hugged me too! How nice and sweet! =) I failed twice from singing and playing the bass, but it made it even more fun! Haha! Oh well, I can come back and play again. Yey! Gonna see Sam again! WOW. =P

-My family and I went to Java and Mug to have some Korean desserts. I had my usual fruit bingsoo! It's soooooo good! Yummehh in my tummmmeh! I told my mom that I was upset in the morning because I told her that I would prefer and choose to have a slice of cake with a candle on it over the money they gave me. See, I am happy when I see cakes with candles. Every candle serves as a wish for me. I could wish from it even if it does not come true. If you guys would just know how much joy a cake with a candle brings to me. I am a kid. I think I did not turn 19, but went back and turned 7 instead. LMAO. They bought me a cake with lots of candles at the end of the day. I was happy.

* I was upset that Paul forgot my birthday. If Ate Ira did not try to remind him that it was my birthday, he would have completely forgotten. It got me sad because I told him I wish he was here to celebrate my birthday with him and he replied that he wishes he could be here just as well. He forgot...

* I was upset that I had to ask for a cake from my parents when I said that that is the only thing I want and nothing more. They bought me a cake.... but I had to nag them about it. How pathetic could I be? I don't care. I prefer cakes more than anything else on my birthdays. I love them because I feel special when given one. You have to understand.. that is how I am.

I have to sleep now. Tomorrow is another day. My birthday is over but the celebrations are not! Looking forward to seeing my little sister Haian and get sushi together. I missed her so much!

Goodnight... thanks for a wonderful birthday. I am not upset anymore. I am sorry for being upset. I guess I am entitled to it once in a while, so give it to me today. I hope next year is better. I cannot wait... well.. there is December to cheer me up. I am going back to Brampton. I will see my friends again! I am excited.

( I met a new person today. he gave me a hug and sang happy birthday for me. His name is Sam. Hi Sam! It was nice meeting you! )

Batman... you forgot.. but it's okay.... I guess it's not so bad to forget things at times. I understand... like always. I miss you. See you soon! <3

-Andrea-

Happy 19th Birthday to me!!! I am thankful that I was given another year to live and enjoy life. I am happy to be alive and in good health. Hopefully, this year will be full of adventures and fulfilling moments both in school, family life, and love. I did not plan to do anything special this year unlike my past birthdays. I am just happy to be alive and excited as well. There are so many things that makes me so thankful and happy. I will enumerate the ones off the top of my head.

1. Like I said, I am thankful to have lived another year because it is another chance given to me to become a better person. I will make the most out of this year and enjoy life as much as I can. School comes first, but I will have fun too!

2. I am thankful that my mother is recovering fast from her surgery last week. I may be a little upset when she nags, but she is a mother and that is what she is suppose to do: to lead me and tell me the things she knows that will benefit me. I love you Mommy!

3. I am thankful that I have father that takes care of his family and would put us first before anything else. My dad is the best father in the world. Seeing him take care of my mother like that and not leaving her side makes me admire him more. Even if he did not pass his certification exam, I know he will do better the next time. Good luck Daddy!

4. I am thankful for having such nice friends that cares for me as much as I do for them. Thanks for always being there for me. Special mention: ATE IRA- Thanks for the status message Happy Birthday greeting! ;)

5. I am thankful that today my Bessy replied to my email and greeted me Happy Birthday. I miss you so much Mei! I hope you continue to do just well. That message made me very happy.

6. I am thankful that my uncle passed the board exam for nursing. Congratulations uncle!

7. Last but not the least. I am thankful for knowing a special person that makes me happy effortlessly. Thanks Paul... for everything, =) Although you forgot that it was my birthday. It's alright as long as you don't forget it next year.

I ended up having 7 reasons to be thankful! Wow! Lucky 7, eh?

-Andrea-

Yesterday was family day! It was not as fun as I expected it to be, but I was with my family which I rarely see come together like yesterday so it's all good. We had so much food that I thought I was gonna go in a state of coma! Just by looking at it you will feel really full. By mid noon I got a little bored waiting for my baby cousin to come so I went upstairs and thought of taking a nap. I ended up sleeping for 4 hours! I woke up and my dad told me that my other uncle is not coming, therefore my baby cousin wont be there too! What a bummer... >.<

I think I wont be too happy to turn another year older, but I am excited to celebrate with my friends that I have not seen this whole summer.

Summer is going to end in a month and school will start soon. I hope that this school year will be good for me. I wonder if I would still want to apply for Johns Hopkins University, Brown, Yale and Stanford for next year. It seems like a dream.... just a dream if I could actually get in.

Anyway.... I'm missing Batman really bad. =(

-Andrea-

Another dream relay perhaps?

I woke at around 6:30 am today and I could remember snippets from my dream. Not as clearly as I could right when I woke up, but I could tell some parts.... In my dream I was at the airport here in Chicago and I was there to pick someone up. I was picking up Paul cause he came to visit me from Canada. From what I could remember, he was wearing the Batman shirt. What happened next... I am not sure anymore. I texted him right away about how I dreamt about him coming here and visiting me. In that same text message I said.. "Hey Batman!"

He just replied a couple of minutes ago and he said...

"That's so weird. I was wearing a Batman shirt when I fell asleep last night. 0_0"

Too much of a coincidence? I was thinking maybe... if you have heard of astral projection? It is an out of body experience where your soul wanders by itself either knowingly or without your consent. Maybe you did come here to Chicago last night and I met you at the airport. I wish my dream was longer... or that I could remember all of it. Wow. It would have been so fun and amazing if it was indeed astral projection.

-Andrea-

I used to love it when it rains. Now... I wish for it to go away. I am not sure why I feel like I am lacking something right now that is raining. It's just that I think I am longing for something I do not have or I cannot have but I am not sure what exactly that could be. The past couple of days was not dull or anything. Am I just dissatisfied with how my life is going right now? I have no reason to be dissatisfied. I have everything that I need but for one thing. That one thing should not make me feel as bad as this anyway.

I told him that the rain makes me feel sad for no reason... He said he likes the rain... What if opposites do not really attract. Could it have been the other way around?

The sun is shining now. I should feel better. =)

-Andrea-

Today was a little hectic. My mom was rushed to the hospital in the morning due to her lower abdomen complaints. The doctor said she has an acute appendicitis and it requires a surgery. She had the surgery and now her appendix is gone. Hopefully, my mother recovers fast from this. I pray that she gets well soon. As for now, I cannot do anything for her but to let her know that I am taking good care of my siblings specially my little brother. Tomorrow will be my first day at work and I am excited about it. It's another job at a coffee shop but so what? I am in dire need of money that I will do anything just to be able to help my parents.

Mama, I love you and get well soon! =)

-Andrea-

He said his mother likes me a lot... because she knows everything that I did for him. I am not sure what good things I have done, but I am thankful that she knows how I feel and what I'd do for her son.

I hope to meet you one day. Thank you for liking me. =)

-Andrea-

I am glad that just one smile and I could brighten up your day and lift up your mood. I really want you to be happy and as much as possible I want to be one of the reasons that can make your day. You know how much I'd give just to be there for you. I am always here. I was delighted to hear you call me babe again. It has been a while since the last time you called me that. Only last night did I really sleep well. I slept well because I made you happy, or at least better than how you were before you saw the video that I made. Anytime that you'd need someone, like what I said in the video, you can always count on me. <3

-Andrea-

Hello...

I finally got hired yesterday at Coffee Beanery and might get a second job at Pacsun. How lucky, eh? Although, when I heard from you that it has been really hard these past couple of weeks, I felt sorry. I want to help you in ways that I can. I am always here for you and you know that. I got your back! :)

I am sorry for my last entry... asking such things and not even knowing what you are going through right now. I feel bad. I hope things get better soon. Actually, I know they will. Hold on there. I know you are tough. Just hold on.

-Andrea-

I would never have the courage to tell you in person, on the phone, as a text message, or even on skype everything that I have in my mind right now, but I will write all of them here... why.. I like you and love you this much. I will make it sound like a story, though we all know that not all stories have a happy ending. Mine will end on a desperate note.

Hello there! Have you ever heard of the song "I wanna grow old with you"? 

I wanna make you smile 

Whenever you're sad 

Carry you around when your arthritis is bad 

All i wanna do, is grow old with you 

I'll get you medicine when your tummy aches 

Build you a fire if the furnace breaks 

So, it could be so nice growing old with you,.... 

I'll miss you 

Kiss you 

Give you my coat when you are cold 

Need you 

Feed you 

Even let you hold the remote control. 

So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink 

Put you to bed when you've had too much to drink 

Oh I could be the man that grows old with you 

I wanna grow old with you.

This is my all time favourite song. =) Today,  I watched a really beautiful but heartbreaking movie. It was heartbreaking to me because I was jealous because it seems like the bond they had and the vow they made to each other will never apply to you and I. Do you know what are the reasons that justifies why I like you and love you? I will tell you all of them....

I like you because you are the only person that makes me happy yet also sad at the same time. I like you because you have the greatest barrier or wall that seems to be unbreakable... you are a challenge to me that I wouldn't me failing to conquer, but later on succumb to. I like you because you smile only when I make you, but it also makes me wonder if you smile because I forced you or if you smiled because of me. I like you because of the toughness you possess... it makes me feel safe. I like you because you want to stand on your own feet and make things your own way... it is admirable.  I like you because you are mysterious in ways only I could feel... I find it cool and sexy. i like you because I love you. I love you because I like you. I like you not only because of the unique traits that you have, but also physically. I like you because you have the most beautiful pair of eyes that I have seen in my entire life.... yes... your eyes seems cold when seen up-close, but I also dream to be the one to make them warm and thoughtful. I like you because you are the tallest man I have hugged ever so tightly in my whole life and that looking at your face would require me to stretch my neck up to a duck's neck length... and when we hugged before.. you just used one arm and you already grabbed my whole body... made me feel secure. I like you because you have that cute crooked nose I would always want to pinch. I like you because you have that kind of smirk that makes me think... about what it means and what it could have meant if I was wrong. I like you because you are not afraid to express your feelings when you are mad and when you think people have been unfair to you. I like you because I miss you and I can't let go.... no, I can't. I like you because you are not messy and everything is well kept...though keep in mind that nothing could ever be so straight. I like you because we share the same interests, though not all of them. I like you and love you because of the serene quietness you have.... though it seems so appalling that I am the complete opposite. I like you and I love you because we are opposites... opposites was said to attract each other: do I attract you? I like you because of all the good things and the flaws that you have... And I like you and love you because I would rather have the worst times with you than have the best ones with someone else...at least I will experience the good and the bad with you.. just you. 

One day, when I finally muster all the courage that I need, I will tell you all of these in person.

I was born six months before you. I had to wait in this world alone for you for six months. In the future, I will wait a long, long time. Stall all you like. Take all the time you want. I am not going anywhere...

-Andrea-

Hello there! =)

Today is the happiest that I have been in a while. I had a good sleep even if I slept at 3 AM and woke up at 9AM. Beautiful and happy dreams were there too and I can remember snippets of it. I am so happy. =)  

EXTREMELY OVERJOYED and THANKFUL (for technology: i.e. WEBCAM/SKYPE)

I'll see you later! ^_^

-Andrea-

I GOT APPROVAL TO TAKE CALCULUS I INSTEAD OF MATH 121!! WOHOOOOO!

Happy day! I am happy today because I got an email from Mr.Diaz saying that he will give me an approval to register for CALC I this coming fall. That news really made my day. There is not a lot for me to say today so I am stopping right here!

Hello there! 

-Andrea-

Monday serves as a fresh start to everything.

Good morning Monday! Today I am going to my first official college class and I can't tell you how much excited I am right now. I am eager to start this class and begin my academic career with a good foundation. Hopefully, I can bump this course 2 levels up. Anyway, I am really going to stick to this routine everyday and keep up with it. I walk/jog everyday and today I will start writing down everything I eat and drink. This diet is not only for losing weight but for health reasons also. I am from a family with history of diabetes, cancer, and different heart diseases so I have to take good care of myself. I am also going to have another blood test this week to see if I have one of those "family sickness". By the way, there should be less internet activities from now on. I must read more books to maintain articulateness all through out. I am also going to pack my pocket dictionary on my book bag always so I could check out the words I am not familiar with when I encounter them. I need to really make a good impression on my professors and peers. Johns Hopkins University is waiting for me and I cannot disappoint them. I have so many plans, yet very little time to accomplish them. I am not going to give up. Starting today, everyday should be treated equally with my A game on all the time. Test, quizzes, recitation and other activities should also be treated carefully. I need my perfect GPA and attendance in addition to my extracurricular activities like the FIA, American Cancer Society and hospital volunteer work.  

With all of these things that I have to do and accomplish, I hope that I can still find time to have fun. I am not saying that I wont have fun while doing these things, but having time with friends and family is also a must. Speaking of family, I think we are flying back to the Philippines for spring break next year. 

Plans for 2010: (leisure)

I hope I can save up enough money to watch even just one game for each of Portugal and Spain's matches. 

I HAVE A LOT OF PLANS FOR THE FUTURE. I HOPE IT ALL GOES WELL.

-Andrea-

I cannot wait for tomorrow! I am volunteering for American Cancer Society and I will get to meet little children that will inspire me to become better. They will inspire me because they have fought and worked hard against the pain and sufferings. Just like them I want to be able to fight on the sidelines. Cancer has taken so many of my loved ones and I want to know how it feels to fight it by supporting the ones that has it. In my own little way I want to be a part of their battle and help them win it. I also want to make those little children happy. I have always liked kids and that is why I will become a pediatric neurosurgeon. I want to devote my time on helping them. I want to be their saviour but not brag about it. My dream is to become just like Ben Carson. I would offer everything that I can to help. If I can elaborate on what kind of help, I would say that I want to be that person that will cure the pain for them. Recently, I have read two books that relates to cancer. I have read the book written by Randy Pausch called The Last Lecture and the novel My Sisters Keeper. Both of these books dealt with fighting cancer. On the book The Last Lecture, Randy Pausch told his story about how he fought it and stayed alive longer than his "quota" because he loves his family so dearly that he will not leave them without something that remind them of his eternal sacrifice and love. He battled pancreatic cancer longer than expected and he was able to deliver his last lecture. He showed the most memorable pictures and experiences to the 400 plus crowd that came to see him. It was one of the books I have read that really moved me. It hurts to know that his children will grow without him. This is one of the reasons too why I wanted to volunteer. Not all of the people at the event tomorrow are cancer victims, but they are the family and friends of the ones that has lost their battle. I want to continue their battle with those loved ones that were left because I, too, is a friend and family of someone that lost a battle. 

Monday will be my first day to go to a real college class. I am taking my MATH course this summer so I can go ahead and take the next level course for it. I am excited for my Fall classes too. I am ecstatic about walking around the campus. It is just sad that I have to take a bus and a long train ride just to get to and from the university. Anyway, I want to mention again that I have met new people from my orientation and I want to see them soon! 

I am really excited about so many things right now.

-Andrea-

It is currently 73 degrees Fahrenheit here in Chicago. Summer is looking good and I can't wait for my summer class to start. First of, I have a good schedule and it looks like I am going to get a job soon ( thanks to my mother's friend). Right now I am just waiting for some calls, hopefully I get to work  2 jobs so that I could save enough for the first semester tuition fee. I am lucky to have friends that took the same classes that I will be taking because they will be giving me their old books. Hopefully, the professors will assign us the same edition books because if not, then I would need to buy new ones. In the fall, my friend Sergio will hook me up with a campus job that will help build my resume and future med school application since it is a Neuroscience lab and it will also serve as work-study for me. Anyway, I have to start practicing calculus again so I can be ready for the Fall term classes. I am gonna read my Psychology book too just for fun. Actually, I am planning to read as much textbooks and sci-fi books that I can to broaden my knowledge and vocabulary skills. I admit that I am not a smart person but I try my hardest with everything that I do academically and for work. I would make my parents proud of me.  I think that is it for now. I have to shower now! It is so hot in here! AC doesn't cut it at all!

K, after showering I'm gonna hit the books!

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!

New acquaintances

It's Saturday today, the 20th of June. How fast time flew after graduation. I still have no luck in finding any kind of job and I am getting very frustrated. I hope someone calls me as soon as possible because I have to save up for college. Speaking of college, yesterday and the day before was very fun but exhausting. We had our orientation on those days and we slept over at the dormitory with our future classmates and schoolmates. It was really fun. I thought I did not want to mingle with new people, but I met a couple of them I want to hang out with as soon as we start our Fall term classes. Our group was composed of all Honors College students and I thought that we would all be just nerds but I was wrong. We went to Club Inferno ( which was really lame but had a good time just hanging out) and danced a bit. I also want to share that I came across a nice person and I think we will be really good friends. His name is Elias and he is Greek. He is a very nice person, at least that is my impression of him. We talked and I found out some cool things about him and it made me think that he is a person to respect since he is very polite and respectful of me, too. I shared a room with Nienke for that one night stay at the dormitory. She is really cool! She taught me some words in dutch. Blimey, she speaks a couple of languages aside from Dutch and English. We had a very insightful conversation sans the girly part. In the middle of our conversation the alarm went off and we rushed outside the room. I grabbed my wallet, phone, and this baby of course. It turned out to be just a false alarm due to the reconstruction of some parts of the building and so we all went back to our rooms. It was raining really hard that night and there was thunder and lightning. I was really scared to sleep so Nienke and I were up until 2 AM. The next day I was complaining of a back pain and exhaustion just like everybody else. We all met at our leader's lounge and head out to the lecture centers. The lectures were so boring we were falling asleep! Nevertheless, when the orientation ended, we all made new friends and expected to see each other again very soon. I can't wait for school to start and be officially a college student. Our Honors College group is pretty small and I am sure we will all see each other at our enormously huge campus. From my other post, I think I will take back what I said. I want to live in the dormitory now. I think I am missing a lot if I don't. Hopefully, there is a spot left. 

I am reading a new book/autobiography of Randy Pausch called The Last Lecture. He wrote this after he was diagnosed of pancreatic cancer. I will write more about this when I finish it.  I am tired now so I will stop here.

COLLEGE.... I JUST CAN'T WAIT ANYMORE. 

-Andrea-

Gone were the days.....

Yesterday I was planning to just sleep all day and relax, but I am glad that I didn't. My sister and I decided to do a total make over for our room. Our old room looked so shabby compared to our room right now. This is probably the first time I am gonna say that I am happy I am not going to live on campus at UIC. This room so much lovelier and homey. I love the feel and the look our room now has. It is beautifully green, a bit more spacious, full of books, and the best part was our mirror ( tocador in Tagalog). We decorated our mirror with a black fairy's wings and placed it right on the middle of the mirror's top part. It looks so pretty up there! Our room is also, of course because of my sister, full of Twilight fan posters. It is so organized here now. I wonder until when it's gonna stay like this. In front of me right now are my old text books and AP prep books. I miss school already because of these books. I cannot wait for the fall. Anyway, my sister and I never bonded like we did yesterday. We really helped each other cleaning and beautifying our room. To tell you the truth, we did not yell at each other yesterday. Not yelling at each other, for my sister and I, well it is quite abnormal since we do it on a daily basis. I am just happy she was calm and less crabby yesterday. We finished cleaning at around 9 PM and ate dinner right after. We all ate together and had a good laugh about the old times. When I say old times, those were the days when we were all back in the Philippines joking and laughing about my uncle Joel's stories specially when there is a power outage in our subdivision or when it is during the Holy Week ( these things my late grandfather hated because we tend to be so noisy). I miss those days so much! I also found some old pictures of me from my high school days in the Philippines. Back then, I was so much skinnier! In those pictures were so many memories. For one, I found my sophomore class picture. I was really skinny and we were all still considered little girls. Unfortunately, I have no scanner to use so I can post the pics here: it would have been better with the picture posted here. Sigh. I am just going to use those pictures as my motivation to lose weight. I also found more pictures from 3 or 4 years ago. I had so much more pimples and blemishes all over my face. I looked like a PIMPLE with a FACE in those pictures. I am just so glad they are almost gone now. I have about 4 left. Haha! Although, I am still not satisfied. Anyway, finding those pictures brought back so many memories to me. Maybe, when I get back to the Philippines, I am gonna bring all of our old pics. No. I will really bring them back here in Chicago.

Ok, so now off to other stuff.

I started my day right today. I woke up at 8 AM sharp. Oh how good it feels that I have slept a full 8 hour after being an insomniac for a couple of weeks. When school was only 2 weeks away from ending, I never had a good night sleep or should I say a full 8 hour sleep. I have always slept so late and woke up so early. When school ended, I still had the same sleeping pattern and it was so hard to adjust. It even got worse. I wake up early, sleep a bit in the afternoon, be up until 11 PM, took an hour nap, and stayed up from 12 AM until 5 AM. Mind you, it was really that bad. Yesterday after cleaning the entire room and half of the apartment, I felt so tired and so after showering, I fell asleep immediately ( well after I painted my nails. Haha!) Like I said, I woke up at 8 AM sharp. I pour myself some Cheerios with skim milk and had a whole glass of water. I am going to drink 8 or more glasses of water everyday and eat right. I am also planning to stay with my routine of doing just cardio every other day and running outside with a raincoat. Yes, I said raincoat. This is how I did it when I was trying to lose weight fast for a tournament in Taekwondo in the Philippines. I am just so sure it will work again. I will avoid so much meat and sweets. No other drinks than water ( except for some occasional Vodka with my friends.. say what you wanna say but I don't care. Vodka helps me forget and my parents are ok with vodka. Haha!) I saw that one egg face mask online, so maybe I will try doing that too. Total body and skin make over before college! Woohoo! I forgot to mention reading as a part of my routine, and of course cleaning our beautiful room. Ok, this entry is getting too long now. I have to say good bye. =)

AnnieTakeItEasy is really taking it easy now. ..... Au revoir

P.S I hope I can add a job to that routine soon.
