DENIED

I took the plunge but there was no water!  I took off for the dunk but was blocked by Mutombo!  I made the penalty kick but was saved by Van der Sar!  I tried to make the long pass but was sacked by the defensive lineman!  In short...

I WAS DENIED.

Hehe.

It's all good.  She did say she was busy before I texted my request to go out.  But like I said, I shall remain persistent.  I shall remain unfazed

4 day log hiatus

Okay I have to admit.  I pretty much ate a lot from Friday to Monday (it was a holiday).  I can't remember exactly what I ate so I figured it won't matter much that I log it down if it's not accurate.  To top it off, I probably drank an average of 4 bottles of San Mig Light per night during Friday, Saturday, and Monday.  Beer = Carbs.  Not Good.  But I was still able to do around 1.5 hours worth of hiphop abs as a deterrent of sorts.  Bottomline, I woke up this morning and braced myself as I stepped on the weighing scale.

The Verdict:

219 lbs.

Hmmm.  Not so bad.  So I gained 2 lbs over the weekend.  I'm guessing water weight due to all the beer I consumed?  Well I'm not an expert so who knows.  I can probably lose it in 2 days.  "Probably".

But that was not the highlight of my weekend.  Which could probably be the reason I wasn't so "weight conscious".  Basically, I met someone... interesting.  I met her last Saturday when one of my high school buds invited me over to a drinking session somewhere in the Ortigas area.  I came in kinda late already, around 1am, and they were pretty much going through the motions of finishing up their conversations for the night.  So when I went there, there were my four high school buds and these 2 girls I haven't met before.  Knowing me, and how I can literally host my own noontime show if I wanted to, I was able to come in and breathe back some life into the evening.  There is no closing time while the Monmonator is in session hehe.  Plus, these were my high school buds!  Meeting up with them is always a combustible situation.

As it turns out, the two girls there actually knew who I am from high school.  One knew me because of her peer counselor friends and the other knew me because I was her friend's date in their graduation ball.  This was an ego stroke for me of course hehe.  It's nice to know you were known, even just a bit, during high school.

Now one girl in particular caught my eye.  She was cute.  Not devastingly hot, but just that simple cuteness you notice in an everyday setting like at work or in school.  A simple cuteness that makes you wonder, potential serious girlfriend perhaps?  Hehe.

Now to make the story short, I was able to get her cel phone number and Ym id.  We've been texting since yesterday and it's been a good rapport so far.  It's not like I have a crush on her or I'm head over heels over her.  But basically, she just interests me for now.  Enough to spurn me on in getting to know her more.  In fact I was supposed to ask her out last night cause I really wanted to talk to her in person.  But alas, there are complications.  Complications that I'll probably talk about in another post.

Need to go to lunch now.  Seeya

This plus 30 minutes of Hip Hop Abs.

Weight this morning: 217 lbs.

Another 2 lbs. baby.

On a side note, I just found out yesterday that I might be sent to China next week on a project.  And its bound to last around 6 weeks.  Immediately, I sorta panicked that I might not be able to continue with this diet.  I mean imagine, being in a place where anywhere you can eat is basically North Park!  How can I say no to Yum Chow Fried Rice every single day?!?

So it becomes a test of discipline for me.  A major one too.  At least I know I'll be having dinner alone most of the time since I dont know anyone in China at all.  Which means I could skip dinner, or just get myself some fruits to much on at night.  That could help.

Anyway, its not final yet.  I'll update the blog

I admit I was scared when I found out my Tito had a despedida in Good Earth Gbelt that night.  I know I have control issues when it came to Chinese Food (North Park!).  But hey, I specifically requested that we order lotsa fish and vegetables, so at least I had something healthy to work with.  To make things easier, the steamed fish was awesome.

Also no Hip Hop Abs today. Came home around 1:00am and I had to watch American Idol 1:30am.  Couldn't fit it in without sacrificing sleep hehe.

Weight the morning after: 219 lbs.

Another 2 lbs.  I say good work still .

On a side note, I was able to come in to work today with this black Marks and Spencer polo I haven't been able to wear for around 2 years now.  Now that was a pleasant surprise as well
