bling-bling gym

There were two women at the uber-gym last night. Both were probably in their mid-thirties. What struck me most was how made-up they were for what was supposed to be a grueling session at the gym.

Nevermind that their perfectly-rebonded shoulder-length hair had the perfect highlights. Nevermind that their eyebrows were drawn into the perfect arch. Nevermind that they had the perfect shade of berry lipstick, brown liquid eyeliner, and the just-pinched color of cheeks. Nevermind that they were at the gym, and that I didn't have an iota of makeup on, and wore my loose yoga pants and what was probably the wrong-est shirt to wear with it.

The two women wore their bling-blings. As in diamond rings on their fingers, delicate white gold chains around their necks, and very pretty (as in pretty expensive) hoops from their ears. Jesus. Or maybe inggit lang ako.

At any rate, if it was inggit, all of it dissipated in the locker room. Turned out they had the same corner as I did. As they stood there chattering away (in an accent that rivaled my Yaya's from far-away Ozamis) and changing into their jeans, it occurred to me: Girls, 'di ba kayo maliligo?

Eewww...all the bling-bling in the world and no shower....

losing weight

I started (yet again) working out last month, a little over three weeks ago. I also started taking two Xenadrine NRG every morning. My gym "before" profile weighed me in at, er, nevermind.

Fast forward to today, Sunday, Feb 20. FIVE POUNDS dude!!!!!!!!!! FIVE FRIGGIN' POUNDS I lost since I started!!!

Of course, that's not without the scary (occasional) palpitations and crashes at night. The "meds" are sort of a derivative of the ingredient in, hehe, meth, which should explain why I've been feeling, er, happy. And hyper, too.

gym buddy

There was this guy at the gym last night. Besides his chiseled abs and solid ass (yummy enough to bite on, grr...), what struck me most was just how much he resembled my ex-trophy boyfriend, Vince. Vince was my first kiss, my first "number two"...whoops, there I go again.

Anyway, so there I was staring open-mouthed and googly-eyed at this buff bod. Then he whipped out his cell, dialed a number, and proceeded to chat with whoever it was that he called. His first words were, "Haay...ang ganda-ganda ko talaga."

Somebody help me with these barbells, please....

Yoko Na part deux

Call it quarter-life crisis. I dont know whether I want to have another kid because I'm not getting any younger, or hold off on another kid precisely because...I'm not getting any younger.

Last week I discovered a strand of grey hair while brushing, and I almost panicked. Not that I'm OA, it's just that growing old depresses me. It means that my folks are growing much older and that they can go anytime. It means that my daughter's gonna be in college really soon and I haven't even saved up for the next quarter installment (and she's only in nursery school). It means I'll be veering away from the loud bars and settle for Gerry's or Side Bar where the music is, hold your breath, New Wave.

I'm pushing thirty and my career's on a standstill. Not that I'm complaining too much. But I've established a comfort zone, and everyone knows where that leads to: stagnation.

Suffice to say that I don't know what I want, and I don't have the luxury of time to find out.
