New blog

So I'm still making the transition from my old xanga to my new one... but I'm not using this one anymore so hopefully all the people that need to know my new xanga already do. If you don't, holler! there's a new blog on there! 2 to be exact and I'll be updating it hopefully more regularly.

ahhhh

BULLSHIT....

Ok.. two days in a row? Maybe I really AM back on the blogging train! Ok so anyways, tonight we are leaving for Reno! The last time I was there was two years ago. Yeah I know it doesn't seem that long but I used to go to Reno once every year at least, sometimes even two or three or four times a year. So for me to skip a year and not go, is pretty weird. Not to mention, Marvin went several times last year, and so did Jomar! They haven't skipped a year but I have... Ok I'm rambling... I'm so out of practice with this blogging stuff.

So yeah we leave tonight, I'm at work right now but I have to get off early cuz my mom is super trippin on me. I hate how older Filipino rush as if we're really gonna beat the traffic. We're leaving at 4pm, we're guaranteed to hit traffic.. not to mention we have a few vehicles and we're doin that "convoy" thing. Is convoy even a real world? It sounds so fobby sometimes I get confused between fob slang and what's actually a word. Just like gallavanting. No offense to those who use the word gallavanting, it's just that the only time I've ever heard that word was when my fobby older family counterparts say it. Anyways, we're leavin today so I gotta get off work early so we can "convoy"... no time for "gallavanting"... ok ok major corny joke.. I should've warned you.

So I went to So Cal last week to go to Magic Mountain, and in order to get off early Marvin called my work and pretended that Jomar was sick and needed to get picked up from school. In order to get off early today, Jomar has a "follow-up" doctor's appt... This is so weird and I feel so bad because I'm actually using my son as an excuse and I'm blatantly LYING about it. The only part that makes me NOT feel so bad about this is that all the times I really WAS home taking care of my son when he was sick, well, of course those were the times they NEVER ever believed me, and my work gave me so much flack about it. Now they're all nice and it's so easy for me to get off when I'm lying..  I guess it's karma???

Ok so I'm motivated by Abbie to get back on my South Beach diet. I'm officially startin today (man if I had a dollar for the many times I've said this only to go running for a piece of cake later on in the day). Well I did South Beach a few years ago when it was the "fad" because it really worked for me (even though some guy who tried it died of a heart attack) and hell yeah, it works wonders (even if you don't follow it exactly). I don't know how well I'll do with my diet since I'm leavin for Reno today and the only food they serve is buffet after buffet. And I know the fatty cuts of prime ribs and steaks aren't good for me, but hey at least I'm starting Phase 1 (cutting out carbs) as opposed to always talking about it and never even starting (which has happened many many times before). The reason why diets don't work is because you're so limited. I can't help but cheat, so I've come to terms that I'll never follow a diet plan exactly. What I DO do is take the concept that works, and use it so that I'm comfortable in incorporating it into my lifestyle.. I basically tailor the diet to fit me. Yeah I do South Beach.. but not by the book with their Quiche cups recipes and celery sticks for snacks. I'll do it with my protein- without overdoing it. At least I'm not smoking crack to get skinny, and thank goodness, I'm soooo lucky it works.

Ok well back to work... for me. Maybe I'll be back later to blog. Have a great weekend everyone!!
