Uncontrollable desire

I can’t seem to control myself when it comes to food. I just ate a lot of Krispy Kreme doughnuts today and I just know that I’ll pay for it sooner or later. I wonder if I’ve already acquired diabetes due to the intensity of sugar in the loops? I’m gonna search it up in the internet, “How do you know if you have diabetes?” or “Symptoms of diabetes” in good ‘ol Google.

I came from Manila American Memorial and Cemetery this morning for the second session of the Landscape Photography class. I borrowed my bro’s Canon D400 SLR camera for the class, the only problem was that I didn’t know much of the basics of a manual camera so at one point or another, I ended up switching to auto-mode and getting the results that I wanted, hehehe. So much for photography class! I realized from this experience that I’m not really a hardcore photography buff; I find the technicalities too deep and mind-boggling. I’d rather point and shoot, throw in some effects, then I’m good to go! The one effect that I desire most is a focused subject and a blurry background, is that too much to ask? I’ve also realized that I enjoy taking pictures of food, which, I think, doesn’t go well for my health.

Two of my sisters-in-law have already tried the South Beach diet and both have lost 10 pounds of more in a span of 2 weeks! Unfortunately, I don’t have that much money yet to get into the diet! Php600 a day—that’s totally over my budget. So right now, I’m an aimless wanderer when it comes to losing weight. I don’t eat a lot when I feel like it and I eat a lot when I feel like it— everything is done on a whim.; thus, 0% progress.

I wonder what’s the probability that I’ll lose weight if I go on as I am right now? ManStat class has influenced me to think with statistics and I guess it isn’t so bad after all. From what I see, ManStat is a little bit easier than ManPri because ManStat has empirical basis for its conclusions; while ManPri analysis depends on your familiarity with the field and how one should conduct business there. Maybe there’s also a basis, but I can’t fathom it completely yet.

I’m eating suha right now to fight off the sugar-induced (assumption) itchy toe feeling. My dad swears by it—his blood sugar and cholesterol level has dropped after 5 days of eating the fruit. It doesn’t hurt to try, besides, it tastes good too :)

Icky Sugar Feeling

Dear Blog,

Too much sugar and oily foods leave you feeling crummy after a while. It grossly affects your mood and you can’t seem to focus and do anything right. I hate it when that happens… much like now. Sigh.

I just read a back issue of GQ with Uma Thurman on the cover; this was during the height of Kill Bill and her divorce with director Ethan Hawke. Also in the issue was the case of Opus Dei. I wonder if people who are inclined to S&M would be able to endure ‘the discipline’ more than the others, and well, enjoy it more than others.

I do not fully understand that religious sect, so I shall not judge. One thing I’m sure of, though, is that I’d never become one. Heck, I can’t even get it straight with Catholicisim and Protestantism. What’s with all these religions anyway?

I always seem to screw up my Sundays. I can’t get past the sleeping after lunch part, then eating when my brothers arrive, then watching TV, then trying to do my homework, then talking to Drich before I go to sleep. It’s been two nights in a row that I’ve had ‘impromptu’ sleep. This means that I didn’t mean to sleep, like just lying down to rest or close my eyes, but I fall asleep without consciously meaning to and wake up the next morning. I don’t like it when that happens to me coz it just means that I’m very tired and probably stressed.

Logically, I don’t think I should be stressed, but I guess my upbringing was very stress-free, so now it’s much harder for me to cope with stress.

Icky-sugar feeling is still here, ugh. I need to shake this off so that I can focus on my homework. Mango Terrine in Panciteria Lido did this. Well, I did this to myself coz I was the one who ordered it. Oh well. I should have just stuck with the brewed coffee, it was great already.

New Year, New Look

I have a new blog look! Yey! Blogger has now tied up with Google and its template is now in XML format, how cool! Now I'll be learning about XML :)

As you've noticed, Britney Spears is gone. I've bidden my farewell to her and have moved over to Angelina Jolie. I think I've outgrown Britney and find her antics quite frivolous. Maybe I've also matured myself which is why Angelina's tough but kind-hearted image has appealed to me. It doesn't hurt that she's also Brad Pitt's partner! I'm so for Brangelina! Sorry Jennifer Aniston, nothing against you.

I'm actually blogging at home right now which is not quite common. I was smitten by the changes that Blogger implemented so I couldn't wait to get home and blog. Adding to the pleasure of blogging is having really nice keyboards to type on. Arvin, the one who picked my name at our office's Grand Kris Kringle, was the one who gave this to me as a Christmas gift (well, it helped that i provided a wishlist).

Another reason why I'm able to blog at home is because classes haven't started yet. My first class will be on Wednesday, followed by the other one on Thursday. I've enrolled in Fundamentals of Writing, a.k.a. Business Writing and Management Statistics (oh no). In Bus. Writing, only my ego is on the line, in ManStat, it's my grades!! Well, classes haven't started yet so I'm hoping for the best :)

Shameless Plug
As I'm typing away right now, I have a Slims Uzap Vibrating Belt strapped around me waist. My brother lent it to us so that we can have a sample. He's selling it for 5K and all my sisters-in-law said that it has to work on me first before they buy one from my brother, haha! This is the second time that I'm gonna use it and so far so good. It has actually improved my circulation because I was able to do some 'movement' afterwards. I'm almost fully sedentary so this belt is perfect for lazy ol' me -- exercise without moving a muscle!

If only I had fast metabolism that would allow me to eat anything I wanted without gaining a pound! Life would be perfect.
