However many years ago I joined the Air Force.

To finish the basic training you have to pass the fitness test which is run 2 miles in 20 minutes, I forgot how many push-ups and sit-ups in 2 minutes but it was a lot. I am not a very physical person, I was confident with my sit-ups but I was worried about my push-ups & the run.

I'll walk 5 miles, man, I'll walk 10 miles just don't let me run. But run I need to do, so for the next 6 weeks we were running 3 times a week. I managed to skate the running thing, I'd walk most of the time and start jogging if an instructor is nearby. This did not help me at all for the fitness test.

The day came and I still could not run the whole 2 miles, let alone make it in 20 minutes but I tried. I can see the finish line but I just couldn't do it anymore, I started walking and then this booming voice came out of nowhere. He wasn't yelling in my face, it was more like encouraging, C'mon, you can do it. We're almost there. You'd better run. Well, I made it in the nick of time.

For the push-up, this girl in my flight advised to do wall push-ups every night and I should have no problems passing the push-ups. And I did it. The biggest surprise came and I failed my sit-ups. I have to re-test night before graduation, if I still fail it, I will be recycled. This means I have to join another class and add another 3 weeks to my training. I didn't want to do that.

For the re-test, somebody will hold your ankle down and count how many you can do in 2 minutes. A minute has probably passed when I felt it. Deng! I need to fart real bad. I was holding it in and it was kinda hard to do, holding it while doing sit-ups. I paused for a second and the person holding my ankle down said, Don't stop now, you can do it. I replied, It's not that, I need to fart real bad. And then she said, Then do it. Fart. I just couldn't do it. I just can't fart in your face, I said. Do you want to get recycled? Fart now or fail this. It better not be stinky or I'll kill you. So, I did my sit-ups and it came out with it.

G said I am such an indecisive person.

And it's true. I realized that now. I've also noticed that I'm asking M a lot to decide. What to wear the next day, what snack she wants, if she wants lunch ticket or lunch box. I even ask her what she wants for dinner.

On weekends, we're usually out and about, we usually eat out for lunch. I live that to G & M. If G asks me for I want, my response would be, It doesn't matter or It's up to you, guys.

I leave everything to chance too when it comes to shopping. What am I talking about? If I see a purse or shoes I like and I can't reach a decision to buy it or not, I would walk away from it thinking, If it's still here the next time, then it's meant for me. I've been meaning to buy a new purse since January, and I still haven't bought one. Every single weekend, I go to the purse section, look, and walk away empty-handed.

LSS

Girl you know it's true
Ooh ooh ooh
I love you!

Now, kill me if you please.

I've added lose weight in my 43 things.

I didn't want to add this because I guess I was afraid that I won't be able to cross it out. I just need to do this. I'm beginning to notice that it's affecting my self-confidence. I keep looking at how other people look and comparing myself to them. I know that we are our biggest critic but really, I am over my max ideal weight by 24 pounds. Sounds a lot and if I don't watch it, it'll go higher and higher. Time to take control of my weight.

I guess it's the show that we watched last night, too. I should really do this. My plan is drink more water, eat more fruits, exercise for 30 minutes instead of sitting here staring at the computer. As a reward, when I'm 24 pounds lighter, I'll buy me a whole new wardrobe. Since a whole new wardrobe costs a lot of money, I am going to pay myself everytime I stuck to the plan.

Wish me luck!

Something happened at the grocery store which reminded me of this embarrassing moment that happened to me awhile back.

First, what happened today. As I was pushing my cart, I pass by a lady who was scrutinizing the products, up ahead was her husband also doing the same thing. As I pass the husband, he walks along with me and said something and then looks at me. He then blushed and said, I'm sorry I thought you were my wife.

Now, for my embarrassing moment. We were looking for movies to rent. G was holding a movie in his hand reading the back-jacket. I took the movie from him and gave the one I was holding and said, What do you think of this one? And proceeded to read the back of the movie that I took from him. I don't remember the movie now but it was kinda lame, I don't know it sounds lame, but if you want to watch it... At this point, somebody came up to my left and asked me if I have decided on a movie, I looked and saw G on my left. Now, if G is on my left, who's on my right? A total stranger and he just had this amused look on his face, You thought I was him, huh? I apologized and walked away smacking G on the arm. Then, I realized, I still have the stranger's movie in my hand, so walked back to him, Uhm... Yeah, did you want to rent this?

I am soooo hungry.

It's like all day, the whole day, all I want to do is eat. I'm craving for something and I don't know what it is. Usually, chocolates would do the trick, but not this time, not even chocolates curbs the craving! And this is not good. I'm trying to lose weight here! Enough about food. Moving on...

The weather's funky. It started out Friday, we went from Winter to Summer. It was so nice last Friday. It seems like everybody ditched their jackets & coats. By mid-afternoon, some were actually wearing shorts. OK, it's not that warm! But, it was nice. We decided to have the car washed and a lot of people have the same idea. Saturday was still nice although it was breezy. Sunday, we were back to ugly grey weather. Monday was great. Tuesday was rainy. Today, it's so nice. I can see blue! Tomorrow, we're expecting thunders. Ugh!

Still, spring is here, spring is here, it's the best time of the year!

Yesterday was the official Flickr's DILO (a day in the life of...) day.

Most of my day was spent taking photos of what-not's. If you want to see the photos, you can look here.

Long overdue pictures of where we live and finally here it is!

So, what you think? It looks so out of place. You don't expect to see a house like this in the countryside surrounded by fields. Notice the gravel driveway. I hate it. They keep getting stuck in the tires and so as you go down the road and you have the window open, you can hear it. I'm weird like that. It bothers me when I hear repetitive sound. Like the drip-dripping of the faucet.

Actually, that is not where we live. This is where we live. "The barn" of the property. The above picture is the main house. I was hoping to capture the tennis court which is to the left side of the house but all that is visible is part of the playground.

Spring is in the air.

And the bugs are out. I stepped outside for a bit just a few minutes ago and this bee started buzzing around me. Oh please, oh please, don't sting me! Luckily for me it started flying away. I think there's something wrong with it. It bumped into a post... twice. It went like this, bzzz bzzz bzzz boink! bzzzz bzzz bzzz boink!

I have an addictive personality.

I mean if something sparks my interest I end up obsessing over it until I end up dreaming about whatever it is. My current internet obsessions are: blogs, flickr, 43 things, and IMDB.com. I probably waste an average of 3 hours online just messing about these 4 sites.

And then, I tire of them just as quickly.
