I had a good time yesterday in my grad class. Ms. Jessica, my classmate in grad school and a P.E./ Karate teacher in Xavier as well had her demo in our Personal Mastery class. After tackling self-process exploration, self-esteem we moved on to the physical aspect. Ms. Jessica briefly explained her report and off we started our warm-up exercises and then she demonstrated to us the basics of aerobics, taebo and the modified pilates. Among the three, I like the modified pilates and I am now seriously contemplating in joining her class. I think her gym/studio is somewhere near my school so I will drop by sometime soon and check the place myself. Me likey pilates! So very Carrie Bradshaw expression, huh?
Anyhoo, she also shared her Abu Dhabi diet recipe or was it Dubai diet recipe and I laughed to myself when I heard it. Was it a joke or for real? Hahaha… so here goes the recipe; apple, cucumber, carrots, violet onion, lettuce, iodize salt. All I have to do is mix it all and chill in the fridge and whenever I’ll get hungry at night while watching TV I can just have it. For the dressing, honey or lemon will do.
I really have to lose weight. Papa’s been teasing me that I’m fast becoming a piggy and I get annoyed every time he says it. And my sister’s been warning me to slow down on carbs since my metabolism is slow. Papa said I have to go back to my high school figure which I think is nearly impossible. I was paper-thin those years and I don’t think I can go back to that figure anymore. I was like 80-85 pounds those years and now oh my G, I’m already 105 pounds now (40 something kilos) His point is that I will look funny if I gain weight because of my height. I computed my Body Mass Index last Saturday and its actually normal so I am quite confuse whether I should trim down or stay the way I am today.
Papa also likes my hair to be long since cutting it short would make me look fat and he would laugh at that. Last week though he trimmed my hair and my sister’s too. Now, its … still long. Hahaha!!!
Okay, after my class last Saturday my brother gave us all a treat at Yellowcab, a pizza joint somewhere near the mall. Since I was really hungry after the exercise I ate 2 slices of pizza and roughly ¼ share of the spag in the box, then 2 pieces of hopia I bought at the bakery. Hmmm….. somebody stopppppppp me!!!!
Tomorrow we will be going to one of the barrios in Ozamis. My mama’s nanay lives there and we will visit her before my brother will leave out of the country. I haven’t been there for a long time already and tomorrow I ‘l be seeing green paddy rice-field again, the smell of dried coconuts, that water-pump thingie (I like to play with it) and all those other thingies I kept and pressed in my childhood memories.
I am really scared of ferryboats/barge. But there’s no other way to get there but to cross the sea. I hope there’s a bridge that would connect Iligan to Ozamis. Hahay!
Its past midnight already and I need to get some sleep for tomorrow’s long journey. Goodnight!!!
XOXO,
IRA
