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!
