weekend wrap up

background music : a lesson learned by alicia keys

this weekend has been restful and a bit productive by my standards .

yesterday, i went to target to pick up a few things for our upcoming barkada vacation.
across the universe cd and alicia key's latest cd , sunblock,SPF facial moisturizer, a tankini and bikini top to match an Hand M bottom i scored on friday. grabe, career-in ba ang pag be-beach?

i also finally dumped half a year's worth of old newspapers and magazines.

blogged galore.


today i started my day with the early morning mass at my local church.

had a leisurely breakfast of freshly baked cinnamon bun from my neighborhood bakery, and a cup of joe from my neighborhood 7/11.

called up bunso to greet him a happy birthday.

called up joycee and chatted with my beautiful neice, aire.

cleared my "dining" table. i can see the bottom again, tee-hee.

watched "hitch" and fell in love with will smith all over again. he's just so cute. he's handsome, looks like he smells good, a great smile, very funny, and very fit. nuff said.

listened, head banged and sang my lungs out to some of the songs from the across the universe soundtrack. loved "i wanna hold your hand" by tv carpio, come together by joe cocker, and don't let me down and dear prudence by dana fuchs. am not really thrilled by evan rachel woods voice, but no biggie. incidentally, while listening to "come together" all i did was daydream of a possible reunion/jam session with briggs and slouch ton-ton and if they will be in the philippines when i visit goodness knows when. rock en roll!!!


sat down to face the book. man, i'm telling you. i needed every ounce of supergirl strength to read through the important chapters while trying to keep a straight face. and like the dork that i am, the blasted book is riddled with post its, little flags and highlighted passages. this week will be dedicated to filling in copies of the forms, so help me God. whew.


read through the last two issues of glamour magazine and lucky. and again, like the dork that i am, i armed myself with the lucky stickers and a pencil and a pad to keep track of items that are noteworthy and worthy to be added to my wish list.

joined glamour's body by glamour to pump up my kick ass/get fit goal for this summer. i'm looking into losing 10 more pounds. i am now "officially" a size 4.
i wrote officially with " " because we know that clothes manufacturers have been appeasing buyers into thinking that they are not that big. so let me be deluded for a while and say i am a size 4 in most clothes. in H & M, which "runs small" by US standards, i was pleased to find out that i fit into a size 6 but with old navy, a size 4 jeans is already loose. j crew says i'm a size 4. watch, when i go to manila and try on clothes i probably fit into medium or large even.
not a big deal? it is if you've been a size 12, and you consider a size 10 as your "thin" size. yep, i'll probably post some before and after pictures soon, but that's another post altogether.

right now i have to fold and sort my clothes and iron a few pieces for this workweek. cheers to warm weather. i can finally stop wearing sweaters.

enjoy your week dear reader.
