Good People!

So, I told some of you about the people who moved into my Ala Wai apartment after I moved out. Their names are Steve & Nadine and they were the most wonderful neighbors one could ever hope for.

They were moving from one apartment into another bigger one (mine) in the same house. Not only did they give me a bunch of boxes for moving but Steve took the role of being my extra dad. He helped me in the way MY dad would have if he was here. Steve lifted all of my heavy boxes and things down the stairs and drove me back and forth to my new apartment 3 times with boxes and furniture, just because he is nice like that!! He also made an attempt to fix my broken (pink) bike and was genuinely concerned and eager to help me. The fact that Steve tried to hook me up with his son who's in the army, and invited me to their housewarming party was just extras :)

Anyways, when I moved I left a bunch of stuff for them that I didn't need to bring to the new apartment and couldn't sell before the move, such as a big microwave a few lamps and a bunch of other kitchen stuff. So I gave them some free stuff. No big deal!!

Today, about a month and a half later I get a phonecall from Steve saying that he had some mail for me that hadn't been sent to the new address. he also asked about the microwave, if it was mine. I was like "yeah it was mine, but I told you guys that you could have it" Steve: "can I pay you for it" Me: eeh sure, I guess. (?) :) I stop by, they're just pulling out of the driveway. Steve tells me that he had bought the tools needed to fix my bike but I told him that I still don't have a new wheel to change on the bike. They're both like: don't worry we'll take care of it! We have lots of free time.

Oook.. So I gave Steve the key to my broken bike and I think he's gonna fix it! Really!

I pick up the mail and with it there's $30 for the microwave that I've had since I moved to hawaii in 2005 - almost 5 years ago - a piece of shit microwave that is..! :)

Steve & Nadine = Good People

Definitely miss my beautiful pink cruiser bike.
Here she is posing with some model for some Honolulu magazine.
She's my baby and I love her :)

Moving forward!

I've been really down lately! Most of 2009 has pretty much sucked actually!
Life just hasn't worked out the way I have wanted it to, at all!

Hopefully I'll be able to turn it around, or at least fight off all my negative thoughts and be able to think more clearly and more positive thoughts.

Not being able to go to Disney for the fall was one of the biggest disappointments, but just recently I've been able to accept it and I am now thinking about the future.
In about 6 months I will be done with my college career, I will have my business degree and hopefully will be off to bigger and better things!

So here's what I'm thinking:
I am able to work in the US for 1 year after graduating. I really want to go back to work for Disney in Florida! I know that they have an amazing opportunity for professional internships where I would be a management trainee and later a manager at whichever type of department I choose/get accepted to.
I'm thinking that I will apply for 'Rooms & Related(housekeeping&front desk) mgmt', Food & Beverage mgmt, & Retail mgmt. I'm open for a couple other ones as well but these are my tops :)

I know that if I apply and get called for an interview, I will most likely have to travel to Orlando sometime in the middle of the fall semester which could become an issue both beacuse of time AND money, but i will cross that bridge when I get to it.

If a professional internship is not possible, then my backup plan will be to apply for another college program, just like the one I did last year. Since I got accepted and they were really excited about my qualifications when I applied for Fall 2009, it shouldn't be an issue for me to get accepted again for Spring 2010, starting in January. This way I would be in Florida complete another college program, and by the time I am done with that I would be able to apply for a professional internship maybe starting in June!

So the way I see it, there shouldn't be anything standing in the way of me going to Orlando, Florida in January 2010!

POSITIVE THINKING!

Hellre äta gröt tillsammans än oxfilé ensam

Today's Status: I feel hopeless

But any other day, my feelings are all over the place!
I'm happy. I'm sad. I feel hopeful. Then my dreams are shattered. I want to give up. I'm stressed out. I wish I could change things. I wish I could be in control of what my life is doing to me!
Even when I'm happy, having a good time and life is good i look back later on, thinking that I feel like it's all just fake. It feels kind of empty. I can have all these people around me, people who want to spend time with me, hang out with me, but I still feel lonely!

I know why...

Det finns nog inget annat sätt att förklara det på förutom dessa tre ord. Jag är kär!
Jag är så fruktansvärt förälskad i denna man som bor i Florida. Allt jag vill göra är att hoppa på ett flygplan och spendera resten av sommaren där... men vad gör man?
Biljetten är dyr och jag är helt enkelt fast på Hawaii!
Alla tänker nu, "åh vad synd om dig, fast på Hawaii". Jo jag vet.. Hawaii är underbart! Men om man inte kan vara nära den man älskar så spelar ingenting roll! Det är lite som det där talesättet ”Hellre äta gröt tillsammans än oxfilé ensam”.
Varför händer det här mig just nu? Vanligtvis är jag stark, kan hantera sånna här saker! Men inte denna gång, mitt liv är helt uppochner allt på grund av en enda person! Hur ska jag hantera det här? Jag tror jag behöver hjälp!

Jag önskar att han inte fick mig att falla så hårt...
Jag önskar att jag kunde glömma bort honom totalt...
Jag önskar nästan att jag aldrig träffat honom alls...

just one. today.

Bio-Söndag!

En blogg på svenska, vad tror ni om det? Det är sällan jag skriver mer än en mening eller två på svenska nuförtiden så jag kanske borde fräsha upp modersmålet mitt litegranna!

Söndag idag... En helt vanlig dag egentligen förutom att jag hade en dejt inplanerad!
Har varit lite sjuk i några dagar nu och mest legat hemma och hostat och snorat så det var bra att jag hade en bra anledning att gå ut.

Våran plan var att gå på bio. Jag vet, lite lame att gå på bio som en dejt, men hey, jag ville jättegärna se Brüno, den nya filmen med Sacha Baron Cohen - Han som är Borat och min gamla favorit Ali-G!
Så den lyckliga mannen, min dejt, plockade upp mig runt klockan ett och vi gled runt i hans (imponerande) åk en stund innan bion började. Skrattade så jag fick ont i magen genom hela filmen. Klart bättre än Borat!

Efter bion gick vi och käkade på en grekisk restaurang i stan. Maten var mumsig! Så nära man kan komma till smaken av svensk kebab! :)

Så överlag, en helt okej dejt och en helt okej Söndag!

Pussar&Kramar och mycket kärlek från eran Mimmi i Hawaii♥

Why?

Come See Me...

Can't help [rå för] how I feel. Even after all this time has passed...
It really makes me wish Hawaii wouldn't be so far away from everywhere else!

Jill Scott - Come see me

It's a midsummer night hour and I'm thinkin about cha babe,wanting you
I wish you could catch a jet plane,I know you would,if only you could
The finances ain't what we'd like,and sometimes we have to sacrifice
Cuz I know,it's hard over there where you are
Cuz it's raining over here on the inside of my womb...

[Chorus:]

... passion and desire baby...
... innumerable fires honey?...
... I got for you,you know that it's true...
Come see me...

I feel like I've been waiting eternity for you to touch me
I can see it in my mind's eye,how right and true,this love we'll make
And ooooh,if you ever believed in anything, believe this is true
I am your woman baby and you are my man,too

[Chorus]

[Breakdown]
I ain't got no questions in my mind,no feelings of doubt
I believe I've just been waiting all this time to find out what loves about
And I'm so excited,and a little scared,thinkin'
I'm gonna get overwhelmed every breath?/

Ooh baby I wanna be overwhelmed,I wanna
be overwhelmed,I wanna be...
I wanna feel...

[Chorus]

I wanna feel...

[Chorus]
...right nowwwwwww

I can hardly stay in my skin
It's hard to breath out and in
All this passion,all this desire...
C'mon,c'mon,come see me right now

Update! It's getting close...

4 more weeks and I lost 3.2lbs = 1.45kg.
Total weight loss for 2009: 18.4lbs = 8.36kg




So yeah, I guess you could say that it's going really well for me in this department! :) Only 1.6lbs left until I reach my first goal of losing 20lbs!

Overall, this whole weight loss thing is great! Which is kind of obvious right? Most of us can stand to lose a couple of pounds to get healthier, for other people, like myself, who really could need to lose a lot of weight, a big weight loss can make a huge difference in the day-to-day life.

While I've been working so hard this year going to the gym and trying to eat healthy foods a lot of people keep telling me that I'm crazy; that I look perfectly fine as is, and I really appreciate hearing that. However, I guess from my standpoint, being very competitive and goal oriented and having my eye-on-the-prize at all times, if I know that I can improve myself more - that's what I'm gonna do. Of course it's not always going to be about losing weight like it is now, but there's always something one can do to that can positively affect one's life. And that's all I'm trying to do.

So, like I said, it's been a great change in terms of weight loss; I feel good, I look sexier each and every day ;) and it's just good for me, ya know? But here's what's annoying me: My favorite pair of jeans are basically falling off now. I need new clothes but have absolutely no money to spend on that type of stuff right now! Lame.

Gotta get back to doing homework. Summer school is really intense!

Peace Out!

It's been a while!

Haven't posted in a looong time!

My valid excuse is that my computer crashed: because it really f***ing did! It happened right when my summer class started - which I am taking online. Perfect timing..

Lots of stuff has happened since last time I guess. Had an interview with Disney just to be a campus representative, an unpaid job where I basically would promote the college program at my school. Could have been so much fun and I could still have some type of connection with Disney, but nooo! Not even that can I do. Basically, since I am an international student, I am not eligible. Story of my life (or this year at least) I will be part of the campus rep team though as an "active alumnus", just not officially employed by Disney.

I think this has been the most disappointing year of my life so far. I'm really just ready for it all to change. I need some happiness, some good news, some luck! I mean I had set up for this year to be so good, and it seems like the only thing I have succeeded in doing is losing weight. That's good at least!

So on a more positive note, I moved in to a new apartment in downtown. It's a whole different environment. Not in Waikiki anymore. Instead of a 2 floor walk-up I am now on the 23rd floor of a high rise. My building has a waterfall, a 2.5-acre garden deck, and more importantly a pool! It's like an oasis in the middle of all the high-rises. Pretty cool! My roommates are great, in different ways. One seems to not wanna have anything to do with me or the other girl which is fine. Whatever, she can sit there and look at her reflection in the mirror all day, we don’t care :) The other girl is really cool though!

Today is First Friday so downtown will definitely be the place to be and I’m expecting to have a lot of fun today and tonight!

I gotta go because the sun is shining, and I am going to the beach!!

Hope you all have an awesome weekend!

Ciao!

View from my bedroom!

Summer Slim-Down!

You have got to give it to me, I am consistent! :)
2 more weeks, lost another 2.2 lbs = 1kg!
Now at a total weight loss of 15.2 lbs in 2009!

I haven't weighed this much/little in probably… 5 years, if not more! And I'm telling you, it feels good! Besides my own hard work and dedication I don’t think I would have been able to do it if it wasn’t for all the Turbo Kick Box/Lift/Other instructors at 24h fitness. Don’t want to single anyone out, but seriously, Blasi is the bomb! She’s always making working out FUN!

With that, today marks the beginning of my personal challenge:
Summer Slim-Down!
It'll last from today May 9th to August 23rd. That is 3.5 months - 15 weeks
I have about 5lbs left on my ticker here, but that doesn’t mean that I will stop when I reach my goal. I’m just gonna have to reevaluate the situation when I get there! Until then, I’m just gonna stay focused!
There might be some before/after pictures at the end, depending on my success! =)

In my opinion, Brooke Hogan right here has an awesome body. She is a tall, big girl, with big legs and real muscles. Some people say she's fat but I totally disagree. She's a woman, with curves!
I would love to have my body looking like that! (minus the new boobs she just got..)

On a different note...
I just wanted to mention, in case you haven’t heard yet: I found out on Monday that I am not able to go to Disney in August as planned. Unfortunately, there were some last minute issues that completely
stopped my dream! It has absolutely nothing to do with Disney not wanting me, but instead my school found these immigration/visa laws that made it impossible. It’s very complicated and I just couldn’t believe that after all of the hurdles I had jumped for this opportunity, me being Swedish was gonna stop it all.
I cried… and cried… It definitely felt like the end of the world! But now, 5 days after finding this out, I just have to try to stay positive. Something good will come out of this situation and I know that it is coming my way soon. The spring semester is over, the summer has begun, and a bird pooped on me on Wednesday which I heard means good luck!

Peace Out!

Enough is Enough

I had a long relationship that ended about a year ago. We were together for about 5 years, engaged for 3.5 years. Obviously it was something good or it wouldn’t have lasted for so long. A while back I found out, through a myspace comment, that he completely lied to me, and he cheated. My natural reaction was to text him just to say that – now I know.

He asks me what difference it makes now? Well, to me it makes a huge difference and it does matter! This is why: Our relationship, our engagement, according to him ended because he couldn't take the distance (about a 20min plane ride). Boohoo, I'm so sorry, that must have been really hard for you........ NO, You cheated, but you were too scared to tell me the truth, THAT'S WHY it ended dipshit, and that’s why it matters!

I guess it's easier and it looks better to you, your family and my family to say that it just didn’t work than to admit that you are a cheater huh?

Apparently he also thought it was okay to start a new official relationship before breaking up our engagement because they are apparently celebrating their 1 year anniversary a week before the date we broke it off. How pure!

It’s funny too, that my good friend Linda emailed back and forth with this girl, about a year ago when things were going down. As they were talking back and forth, the new girl said, and I quote "As for me and his ex I came into the picture way after her."

Notice the word "way" indicating a long time after! Either bitch it lying or, again, Maui is, to her! When you are engaged (to be married, remember that!), any decent person would end that relationship before starting another one am I right? Instead, Maui wanted to overlap. CLASSY!

He never tried hard enough to fix it in the first place, before it ended, and even to this day, his attempts to get me back have been absolutely pathetic!One the one hand, he calls me asking casually like it’s no big deal sort of like “hey, you wanna get back together or what?” and on the other hand he’s calling me crying, telling me I'm the best thing he'll ever have. oh I know! Don't you worry, I know. Go cry to someone else, because I really don’t care.

As for recent events, he called me last night, multiple times, at around 3 in the morning. Silly of me to pick up the phone because his words mean absolutely nothing to me. “I miss you… I Love you…. I want to get you back” After I decided that I heard enough he still thought it was appropriate to continue harassing me.....

Seriously?
It is over! Please don't call me! There is nothing that we need to talk about!

And oh, clearly this all happened/happens while he was/is with this new girl.
He wants to have his cake and eat it too, and it absolutely disgusts me!

The point of it all: You think you know someone, but you really have no idea! People's true colors will come out... I just wish I would have known sooner.

Maui Kava, in my eyes you’re just a big scam. You are a liar, so full of shit and not worth anymore of my time! I hope you feel good about yourself!

So yeah.. What's new?

Since last time I updated you guys on my
weightloss two weeks ago, I lost 2.2 lbs = 1kg!
Now at a total weight loss of 13 lbs in 2009!


I've been staying really busy with school... Only two weeks left of the semester now and it's really stressful with lots of exams, papers, projects, presentations and such. Working out has kinda taken a backseat lately and I've given in to my Taco Bell cravings a few times, but it's all good! Still losing... :)

I've also been trying to figure out my summer. I'm searching for a new place to live, since I have to move out in the end of May. I'm not gonna get an apartment for myself because it's just going to be too expensive so I'm looking for a room/roommate. and it's harder than you think! There are really some crazy people out there renting out rooms...
These are my simple criteria for a room: Location: Waikiki/Downtown/Makiki/Ala Moana/other parts of Honolulu. Price: max. $500-600. No drama. No insanity. Extras I wouldn't mind: Pool

Holla at me if you know anything!

Now: Back to studying

Chilling in the filing room at work! Can't be afraid of small spaces
here, no :)

Turbo Kick Wednesday!

I had school and work all day long today but I knew that as soon as 5pm hit and I was leaving the office, my day was gonna get much better!

TURBO KICK BOX TIME!
Wednesdays 6:00pm at 24h fitness Kapiolani with the most awesome instructor in the world, Blasi!
Find a class near you, do it! :)

I admit it, I sound crazy, but you guys don't even understand. I am completely obsessed! But see when I'm in this class, I am just one out of many, many TKB-crazy people. I see the same people coming there time after time. I want YOU to become addicted to it too! It is an addiction, but a good one!

I think I can honestly say that Turbo Kick Box has changed my life, heck at times I even feel like it IS my life! It gives me a high no chemical ever could, it makes me happy, it makes me feel strong, and more importantly it is a fun way of losing weight!

So, until my next blog, try this: Jab, cross, hook, up, twist it, back-kick and knee strike! ;)

Halfway to Success!

I forgot that I was gonna post my latest weigh-in results!
I lost 1.2 lbs this week, for a total weight loss of 10.8lbs in 2009!
So, looking at my updated "ticker", I am more than half way to my goal!
Isn't that super?!

I'll try my hardest to lose the rest during my "Summer Slim-Down" which is going to start as soon as school is done with May 8th or something like that!
I'm gonna do this successfully by continuing to go to the gym as often as I can and not eat junk. Simple! :)
It might just work since I'm obsessed with my Turbo Kick Box classes and have a weird appreciation of boring foods like tuna, straight out of the can :)

Anyways, have a good one! and buy me this t-shirt from http://www.turbokick.com/

Got my hair did!

I went to Paul Brown Institute to get my hair did today.

For the outcome I wanted they suggested for me to get partial highlights,

all i wanted was for it to look natural, even and sexy :)

They were almost scared of my hair,

like they never seen Scandinavian hair before,

and they even made me sign a release form, haha.

Seriously scary

Although I looked like an alien in the process, it turned out looking fabolous! :)

Just trying to stay in "Disney Look"

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter/Glad Påsk everyone!

I wish I could be back home in Östersund, Sweden right now, coloring eggs with my family or something! Actually, I just spoke to my mom and she told me that mom, dad and lil'bro Mårten are going to the summer/winter house to stay overnight to celebrate easter a little. Man, I used to hate that place when I was a teenager, but now I really want to be there with them to enjoy some fresh cold air in the spring sunshine! Easter was amazing when I was younger. Me and my neighbour Karin always produced a shit ton of easter cards (kind of works as bribes; hers were always much more beautiful than mine), dressed up as "påskkärringar".... wait. Maybe I should find a good explanation for this, it might sound weird.... Here you go:


Many of the things you don't know about Easter have to do with odd, intensely national Holy Week traditions. So why not start off with the most unexpected one — the Easter Witch. In Sweden and parts of Finland, a mini-Halloween takes place on either the Thursday or Saturday before Easter. Little girls dress up in rags and old clothes, too-big skirts and shawls and go door to door with a copper kettle looking for treats. [this is where the cards come in, we give you a card, you give us candy!]http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1889922_1890008,00.html

Instead, I'm in Hawaii, which isn't too bad either :) I just received an email from Disney with the actual offer for my role in Concierge. I haven't accepted it yet, only because I know that as soon as I do they'll ask me for $100, so I'm just gonna hold off for about a week on that. I'm so excited that I'm actually going and I've been doing my research and following all the discussions on facebook to try to find out new things that are going on and possibly finding a roommate and I've already bumped in to some cool girls that like to have fun just like I do! I'm still waiting to hear if my friends MJ & Paco are gonna get accepted for the program too, that would just make it all come together perfectly!!

School is getting really stressful... I can't believe that I only have less than a month left! This semester has gone by so quickly. All my classes going really good, but my business law class is driving me insane. My professor thinks we are at Harvard, Yale or Princeton (just because that's where he went) and makes his test just like they would be at those top schools. Annoying. The busy time for finals/papers/projects has really started and I need to not lose my focus!

I'm also trying to get my summer all planned out now. I already signed up for one class at school but there's more things that need to fall into place. I need to find an apartment or a room by end of May/beginning of June(let me know if you know anything/anyone); I really need to find a second job so that I can make some more money!(have a couple of ideas that could work out); and more importantly, I need to lay up a Summer Slimdown 2009 plan! :D

Enough ramblings for tonight!

Shout out to Anna Bengtsson - HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRL! Hope you got my voicemail :)

To all of you, I hope you are in good health, happy and doing well!

Dreams Come True - Accepted for Disney!

I'm going back to Walt Disney World for another college program! I can't believe it! This program will be from August to January 2009.

I didn't find out the normal way, by getting the "purple folder" in the mail. No, today, I was sitting at the office doing some paperwork when my phone rings. "Number unavailable". This girl is on the other end, calling from Disney, 10x more excited than regular Disney people!

She wanted to let me know that they had just sent out an offer in the mail for me for a role in hospitality (my absolute number one choice!) but the reason why she called me was to let me know that they had looked over my application and wanted to offer me another role - concierge! The two roles have many similarities but basically, working in concierge is better, with more money and I'll be working with the more exclusive people, VIP's and such :)

So right away, my mind starts spinning out of control!

No. 1: This program starts in August (I really wanted to go in May!). I asked her if there was any way to change the program to start earlier but according to her, I was super lucky just to get this position and that it was impossible to change.

No. 2: With the program starting in August, that means I won't be able to see G in May like I had thought.. :/

No. 3: This definitely means I won't be graduating on time in December. I'll just have to push it til May 2010

No. 4: Damn it, my visa, my I-20 will expire - will my school be able to extend it?

No. 5: Guess I'm not running for vice president of TIMSO this year... Bummer

No. 6: Dude... I don't have anywhere to live during the summer!

Lots of things to deal with but I think everything will work out if I just set my mind to it!
This woman that I spoke to send me a job description for concierge. I like it. I'm sure I will have to deal with a lot of guests with extremely high demands and expectations, but I'm ready!

• completing check in/check out process for concierge club-level guests by inputting and retrieving information from resort computer system;
• proactively greeting guests, exhibiting the expected high level of Disney show quality, often times interacting with VIP's, celebrities, and executives;
• creating individualized ticket packages; being comfortable in a strong sales environment;
• making reservations and handling any special requests from guests;
• handling cash and other forms of payment, including foreign currencies exchange;
• maintaining cleanliness of common guest living/dining areas within concierge club-level;
• assisting with luggage and other deliveries to guest rooms;
• working concierge buffet line which can include maintaining overall cleanliness of buffet area and replenishing food, washing dishes, serving alcohol, maintaining inventory of liquor, and partnering with Culinary to ensure food quantity;
• partnering with property VIP tour guides.





Can't wait to wear my nametag again! :)

Thursday Update

It's the week before Spring Break and I have so much shit to finish.

My internship paper for Disney which first was due on Feb 2, that I got extended til March 20 (tomorrow) is about to be done with. We're talking 30-40 pages of complete madness here. I'm also about to pull an all nighter on a history paper on the accuracies&inaccuracies in the movie 300 due tomorrow as well.

I just wish I could concentrate on either of them!

Basically this week has been pretty upside down.

A lot of stuff is changing, for the worse or better I don't know yet.

I haven't been working out as much as I've wanted to, I haven't done as many hours at work as I wanted to, all I've been doing is writing on these god damn papers. I deifinitely know that an hour or two at the gym would make me feel much better, but I think I just have to put it off til I'm done.

The only fun I've had was on Tuesday when I really got my drink on for

St. Patricks Day

Maybe a little bit too much fun, but hey, It's only once a year :)

I think the story of that night is better left untold.

Interview with Disney!

Yesterday I called up Disney to schedule a phone interview for another college program with them. The lady on the phone tells me that my interview is going to be at 2:40pm the following day and for me to finish the E-presentation and all that beforehand.

I stayed up late last night just finishing the presentation and all of that stuff, basically freaking out about the whole thing.. This morning, I wake up late and tired, don't go to the gym like I had planned, because all I can think about is the interview later on!! I was planning to go to work from 12:00pm - 5:00pm like always but last minute decide to not go to work...

I sit at my computer just writing papers and at exactly 1:40pm my phone rings. "Number Unavailable" shit shit shit it's them! ... But? One hour early?!

Apparently there's been a mixup, probably due to daylight savings that we don't do here in Hawaii, and they decide to call me an hour earlier.... thank GOD I didn't go to work! :)

Even worse, she's telling my that my application that I filled out online is blank... Oh, great! We have to go over everything again and she then can start asking me actual interview questions. We spend about 20 minutes on the phone and I tried to come up with good answers! I think I did good though, the girl I talked to was cool and I did my best to sound positive and excited! :D

The roles that I applied for are:

• Hospitality
• Housekeeping
• Resort Hopper
• Merchandise
• Bell Services
• Vacation Planner
• FSF&B
• QSF&B
• Character Attendant

Now it's just this terrible waiting game... 4-6 weeks she said. That's a really long time! But I remember last year when I applied, it only took about 2 weeks til I got my letter.
If I get this, I would go back to Florida for another seven months: May - January.
However, there's also a chance that I still can get in to the Summer Alumni Program at Disney that I also applied for, that would be from May - August.

I'll be back with an update on this!

I just want to go back!

There's this boy...

I don't even know what more to say because it's just so damn complicated!

You know when someone is all you think about all day, and every other song reminds you of that person, and you don't really notice other guys around you, when you can't control your feelings and it feels just right.
Well that's it!

There's just this one big problem---------->Distance

So since I'm a major control freak I wanna know... What's the solution?

I went for a long walk on the beach today to try to clear my thoughts. It felt better for the moment but it was a definitely a short-term solution cuz as soon as I got back home I had the same issues I left with + some red, burned shoulders.

Weigh-in day!

It's like I have my own little "Biggest Loser" competition going on.
Weigh-in day today!
I lost 1.2lbs this week, for a total loss of 8.4lbs in 2009. Woop woop!

In my boring life, Saturday mornings are usually always™ meant for working out.
The only exception is when I decide to go out on a Friday night and get myself belligerent drunk. Me getting drunk doesn’t seem to happen as often now though, which I guess is good thing :)

Anyways, so I get to the gym at 9:00am as always and I am ready for my Turbo Kick Box class. The only reason I want to get up early on a weekend is this specific class in itself, it’s amazingly fun and kicks my ass every time.
Today was going to be different though. After the usual hour of TKB I was going to the Everlast Shadow Box class as well as a 24LIFT class.
The gym was introducing this new class called Everlast Shadow Box. This class, taught by one of my fave instructor Honey, was crazy.
Turbo Kick Box is a more choreographed type of workout with kickboxing moves, sports drill, dancing and even some yoga to bumping music, at all times. Each class seriously feels like a party, but makes you sweat like you wouldn’t believe.
Everlast Shadow Box is completely different. Basically, you go 12 – 3min rounds (and yes, there is a timer). All boxing moves, no kicks. There’s music pumping (eye of the tiger for example hah), but the music is not the focus as you’re not gonna do your moves to the beat. It’s like a boxers workout, jump rope and all, and I almost felt like puking afterwards.
THEN, all that was left in my crazy morning workout was my 24LIFT class. At this point my body was already shaking and screaming at me to go home already, but I made it through!

Love that good feeling you get after a great workout!

Music keeps me sane

I've had so much on my mind these last few days that I don't know how to channel my thoughts into words...

There's just a lot going on; things that I can change, and things that I cannot. When situations are out of your control, you just have to learn to let them go.. that way you can occupy my mind with much better things.

"Music speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it rest,

heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from heaven to the soul."

-

so, without further ado, here's a very soothing song:

Domenic Marte - Con Los Ojos Cerrados

I just love this song! ♥
There's no story behind it, it's not complicated: it just makes me happy!
Just like a bunch of other amazing music, I think I found it on my roommate Yuyu's computer back at Vista Way (Disney... Orlando) sometime last year!
I miss those days!

Losing Weight in 2009, for sure!

As always, I'm struggling with my weight! But that's OK! Always have, always will.

After spending 7 months working for Disney I somehow managed to gain like 10lbs.
And I know exactly why that happened! Busy workschedule, parties basically every single night, a pathetic little gym, and more fast food places around than grocery stores!
It was fun tho, and i'm not stressing.
But its time to get serious again.

So, I've created a little 'ticker' for myself.
I basically started it off from when I got back to Hawaii, when I was back at the gym again, just around my birthday on January 14!
2009 is gonna be a great year!

Just another ordinary, stressful day

I stayed up 'til 3am studying last night. Got 3hours of sleep before it was time to get up at 6am to study some more! :)
Talk about last minute cramming... Leaving my house I felt like I didn't know shit and right as my professor walked into the classroom I freaked out!

He handed out the test, I took a look at it and felt like damn, I got this! I don't know what got in to me (except for that caffeine pill), but I just wrote non-stop for those 55min. and I was satisfied with my performance! Totally acing the test.... that's what it's aaaaaaall about! A's!

For the rest of the day I was hella tired and extremely hungry. Didn't have time to eat anything between class and work.

I'll definitely need some rest tonight! Maybe I'll watch a movie or something... Haven't had time for that in a while :)

All I have left in school now before Springbreak: 2 big papers, and some other minor stuff.
I can do this!

The question is: Am I going to Florida or not?

I have a blog!

I've been studying all day.

Ok, I might be exaggerating a lil bit. Correction: I have attempted to study all day. All weekend actually!!

I have a really important midterm exam coming up tomorrow morning at 8:35am. Just 5 minutes ago I was creating flash cards that I won't even have time to really use before it's time to take the exam. Yet I find it extremely important to start my own blog, right at this moment.

The thought of creating my own blog actually never crossed my mind before! But you know how it is, when there's something you really have to do, such as studying or filing your taxes, you all of a sudden remember how you have to do laundry, shampoo the dog or clean your bathroom.

As I wrote that last sentence I realize how stupid I am.. time to go.
