Random Updates

I am supposed to be in dreamland already but here I am still wide awake. I could not bring myself to sleep. I still have so much energy, I am still pumped up. I still have so many things in my mind. I know I have to sleep, I know my body needs ample rest but sleep is just too elusive now. Let me write some random stuff while I wish that I doze off any moment from now.

1. GOOD NEWS: I lost half a kilo in three days. I could not believe my eyes. All those running and sweating has paid off. And oh yeah the interval training I have pushed myself into has given me results. So, I am just thinking, if I continue the routine and the diet, I may just lose at least 12 lbs in one month. Not bad eh?

2. NOT SO GOOD NEWS: I still do not have the replacement of my laptop hinge. :-( I love my "Maxine" so I will not trade her for anything else... (Maxine is the name I gave to my laptop). I have never experienced any bluescreen or any virus attack or anything you can ever think of except for this hinge problem which is entirely my fault. I wasn't careful enough. I might have to wait until December to get it fixed. Too much for international warranty huh? But yeah, Maxine's in a little sorry state now.

3. HAPPY THOUGHTS: I was arranging some stuff in my cabinet at work and I found the stash of cards I got from the flowers sent by Jelle before. I miss the scent of flowers in my workstation to tell you honestly. The whiff of fresh and flowery scent that was so intoxicating is all coming back to me now. The witty lines written on the card still makes me smile until now.

4. FULL TUMMY THOUGHTS: I cooked Pasta Primavera and S&S Spuds for my direct reports last night and I am glad they liked it. A few requested for the recipe I used for the spuds but to tell everyone honestly, I don't necessarily follow recipes when I cook. I whip dishes on my own relying only on how the food should look and taste. I will however share the recipe I once referenced the first time I tried to make this in the next blog article.

5. TRAVEL THOUGHTS: I could not wait to be in Netherlands. Just the thought of walking in betweem tulip fields sends me to an unbelievable euphoric state. I am so going and the time is ticking so fast. Five more months to go. I have a picture of the tulip fields near my bed plastered on my wall to remind me of the travel that I always thought would only be in my dreams. Ecstatic is an understatement to describe how I feel now.

6. UNDECIDED THOUGHTS: Should I give up or just continue chasing pavements? I have just recently felt something and I think it is futile to push through with it. Yes, I know and it has always happen that whatever I set my mind into I end up achieving but I don't think this one is worth the risk. But is it? Once I have my final decision, I will write about it here again. I am just so happy now that I refuse to entertain sad thoughts.

7. TRIVIA THOUGHTS: DO you know that when you unscramble the word "DESPERATION" you will come up with the phrase "A ROPE ENDS IT"? Oh wait, I am not in a state of depression now and certainly would not want to die by hanging. It is just so unpretty hanging by your neck and toungue sticking out. The thought makes me cringe though. It is one of the brutal things you can do to yourself that you can never take back anymore. Did you realize how random that was? LOL!

8. MOVIE THOUGHTS: I seriously wanna go and watch "Ugly Truth" even if I am alone. It should be the first time it happens if I go. Maybe I could try doing this on my off next week unless anyone wants to watch the movie with me...Oh how I love chick flicks especially the relationship-related ones.
