The Story of my Life

I went to the office wearing my skinny jeans, which I haven't worn for months, and a plain top, slightly loose to hide my bulges. Midway through the morning, I regret wearing it. When I sit or bend forward, my pants reveal my butt crack and when I walk I have to pull it up once in a while to keep it from falling (revealing my butt crack again). My top, whose fabric sticks to the skin, reveals my bulging tummy which grew by a few inches.

I'm going out tonight. I can't afford to look horrible. So off I went to the tiangge to get some cheap but nice stuff to replace my hideous outfit. True enough, I got a pair of jeans for P650 and two blouses priced at P250 each. Great! I'm so excited to change.

When I got back, I told G and R in the elevator of my good buys and explained why I had to change my outfit. I'm getting fat. R, with conviction said, "Alam mo oo nga! Nung nakita kita kanina...ibaaaaa. Lalo na yung braso mo." When I was about to take off to get my lunch, she said "oh, wag ka na kumain". Now everyone in the elevator knows my body measurement.

Lesson learned: The truth really hurts.

Upstairs, while I was chatting with R's seatmate, Dyosa, R said "Claire, papabasa ko sa`yo tong book na `to pagkatapos ko." The book is "French Women Don't Get Fat". Then said, "binili ko nga ito kahit di ako mataba eh."

Lesson learned: If you can't join them, beat them.

I have one month to get fit and shed off some unwanted fats and I don't know what additional exercise to take. Can you help me? Cast your vote now.

While the rest of the world was out celebrating V-day, Jom and I were at home to catch the final episode of Amazing Race Asia Season 2. I heard from someone that Team Philippines lost in the final leg but I had to see through my own eyes so I watched nonetheless.

I was up early today as I planned to get Krugger washed before I go to work. He really needs that bodywash dahil ang dugyot dugyot na nya and for heaven's sake V-day naman, he deserves some loving!!!

I was out of the door by 6:30am. As I walk towards him, I noticed that it regained its natural glow. I thought, someone must have wiped off the dirt from the windshield. I checked the rear to see if the dust and dried leaves I saw the night before was still there...but no it's squeaky clean. So I thought again "ah, bka lininisan nila Beth kaninang umaga", which is possible because she does that when she was still working for us. She would get up early, cook breakfast for us then clean our cars. But before I could get the key in the keyhole, I noticed the beautiful bunch on the passenger seat...a valentine treat from my Honey. :-)

So this morning, I had this silly grin on my face while driving to work. Ang sarap pala mag-drive ng malinis na kotse, lalo na kung iba ang nagpa-carwash (may libreng bulaklak pa, sosyal!). hehehehe. Thanks Babe!
