MMMiii!

Today I did something so unlike me. I turned off my computer and concentrated on “cleaning” for a couple of hours while listening to SPEED.

Loraine told me that Sarah said that the best way to clean is to take everything outside of your room and then clean and when you’re putting things back, you can decide whether that something should go back or not. Well, I don’t have the space for that since the house is already cluttered as it is (not just my room) so I’m settling on putting everything on the floor. I’m not just making an excuse because right now I’ve just been putting everything on the floor and can’t be bothered to find places where to put them. I think that if I immediately find a place for them to be relocated, I’ll just really end up relocating stuff without really thinking if I should dispose of whatever or not.

But today I’ve made some progress. I cleared out 2 drawers of junk (I have this drawer cabinet that has 5 drawers, the first 2 are for clothes and the last 3 are for junk). I left the clothes drawers alone and the third one was something that I had organized before already so it didn’t need clearing out. I also somehow almost cleared out the bottles and stuff from the top of the drawer cabinet, although I’m just halfway done with that. I found some bottles of phisoderm-like products and other beauty products. Those are currently on my bed as of writing this, but later on I’ll be moving them to the floor because I won’t have any space to put them in storage just yet, although I have an idea already on where to put the “health” products and the “cosmetics”.

My garbage bag is already about half-full. It’s a really huge garbage bag. Maybe 4 feet tall and 4 feet wide unfolded. It’s just an estimate. I’m not good at visual estimation. But one thing for sure! I’ll have a hard time carrying it out.

I’m tired already so I’m just going to finish watching the last few episodes of Yuu Yuu Hakusho and then go to bed. My back hurts as well, which is weird, because I fell on my bum today and not on my back, but there’s this drilling pain on my back whenever I make certain movements. I don’t think I broke a rib or something, but it sure feels like something’s poking my insides.

And so the cleaning continues. I’m taking more breaks than actual cleaning. And I’m also doing things too randomly. Because I didn’t know where to start and it was taking me longer to think where to start than actually starting, I just … work on where I feel like. I’m not being very efficient either. I’m doing sorting and cleaning and whatever rather than just cleaning and throwing out stuff.

I also found expired Nestle Fruit Selections yogurt in my fridge. It’s just 5 days expired and I remember buying it because I wanted to work on my diet. Instead of taking something like glucomannan or another… but since it’s not something I’m really fond of, they went beyond the best before date. It tastes good though.

Ah… back to cleaning I shall go. Tata

First day of cleaning today. I finally decided to do it. Why? I’m running out of time. Yu’s leaving on the 22nd and will be arriving here on the 24th. That doesn’t give me a lot of time.

Right now, I’m just taking a beak from cleaning. I’m going through some old notebooks from high school and college. I wrote a lot of emo poetry and there were even some that I thought, “Hey, I think this is pretty good.” I was thinking of keeping some of those notebooks but decided against it. I don’t really need all that. I also thought of tearing out the pages with poetry (I wrote them EVERYWHERE–Computer science, math, CAT, etc) so that I don’t have to keep the whole notebook. It’s just a few pages every notebook or so…

Then I thought to myself… I wouldn’t show this to anyone. Or if ever, I wouldn’t want to show my face to anyone who sees these. These scribblings from 10+ years ago or so, when I was always harboring suicidal thoughts, love sick fool, emo, etc. So I heaved a huuuuge sigh and threw them.

Oh, by the way, to get to these notebooks, I really had some difficulty. Because I wouldn’t want these scribblings to be seen by anyone, I stashed them in some locked drawer. I don’t know where the key is anymore so I sawed through it using The Saw that I bought last month. The blade (blue) broke into three at one point so I had to melt through the plastic a hole that could fit the screw so I could just bolt it on the plastic. It worked fine.

I’m glad I don’t really have adult onset acne. All the dust flying around from all these stuff stored would really irritate my face if ever. I even had to make Taba leave the room earlier. But he kept on scratching at the door, probably because it’s so hot outside and he couldn’t stand it. When I let him in, he stayed on the bed.

Well… more cleaning to come! Only 2 more weeks to go!

P.S. I should have took a picture of my top bunk before I started cleaning :(

I’ve always worn my hair long. Except when I was a kid, of course, and that one time when I was 10 years old, my hair has always been long. There were times when it had gone past my waist, or even past my butt (but that got a bit uncomfortable so I had it trimmed). The shortest I would have it would be past the shoulders.

A couple of days ago I woke up around 3am, and thought to myself… “Ah~ I think I want to have my hair cut short.”

I would have done it. I know of a hair parlor open 24/7 near my place. I could have walked there if I wanted to. But since this was a big decision, I figured I’d think it over.

Eight hours later, I still wanted to do it.

And the result?

Hairchop.

The stylist couldn’t make it how I was wanting it mainly because of my hair itself. They (the stylist and his assistant) tried. Over and over again. We all gave up in the end. I wanted to have a fringe that “flew” up at the side, and my split to be somewhere more to the side. It wouldn’t happen. My hair will need more time to get used to the new split or I’ll have to use hairstyle-holding products, which wasn’t an option for me (too lazy).

I’m still pretty satisfied with it. I told the guy to donate my hair to charity.

Now with the new hairstyle, what’s left is to diet (ugh!) and maybe one day fantastic clothes, maybe even designer clothes like Elie Tahari’s would fit me nicely. I just need a little more motivation for this diet thing. *sigh*

You can call me sadistic or an animal rights violator. I bite my dog. I pull on his tail. I pull on his fur. I pull his ears. I sit on him. I hug him until he wants to escape from me. I smother him with a pillow. I give him baths. I bathe him with cold water. I put him on the bathroom sink and leave him there after his bath. I put him on the top bunk and leave him there until he’s crying. I take his snout inside my mouth while he looks at me in fear.

And so on.

This is the same dog who doesn’t like to eat bacon. He usually only eats chicken, preferably fried, and preferably just the bones from the legs or thighs.

This is also the same dog who chews on my cellphone charger. The same dog who chewed on my Sennheiser CX300 (PhP 5300.00 at the Power Mac Store). The doggie who chewed on my not-so-expensive-but-not-so-cheap-either Parker pen. The dog who chewed up my shoe laces, loves chewing on any piece of paper that might be lying on the floor.

My lovely dog who is the object of my affections and sometimes, the reason why my wallet is empty. The reason why sometimes my head hurts so much that I’ll probably soon need migraine treatment.

This is my baby doggie Taba.

I just felt like writing about him.

*singing Hikki’s Travelling song*

The wheels are turning! Yu’s set to arrive on March 24 and we’re going to Hong Kong mid-April. Thinking of all the travelling I’m planning, I wonder if I should at least get some life insurance or something. I think for flights there’s instant travel insurance (I’ll have to double-check)…

What are the current local life insurance rates anyway? Has anyone got an idea? Not that I’m going to get one right away. I’ll check with my bank too. I think they had this thing about having life insurance if you have a certain kind of bank account.

I finally completed my clearance at work. Now I just need to wait 6 weeks before I could get my backpay, and hopefully I’ll be getting it. It seems that I caused some problems before leaving. I’m worried about it… *sigh*

Now that that’s done, I have 3 weeks to clean my room. I still don’t know where to start. I’m thinking it should be the top bunk first… or maybe not. It’s possible that once I’m done with the top bunk and I start on the other areas of my room, they’re going to end up in the top bunk again. And vice versa… and I need to keep the top bunk empty for Yu’s arrival.

doushiyo (>_<)~~

I also need to get something like allergy beddings for Yu just in case. With all the dust in my room, he might develop rashes or something.

Ahh… this next stage is going to be hard!

I talked about the possibility of me having hormonal imbalance a couple of days ago and that I need to see a sonologist. Well, I’m thinking of going before my health benefit provided by the company expires on the 28th. I found a female sonologist’s schedule in a clinic I can go to… but I really don’t want to go. I mean, I’m not excited about it. Of course, one would probably say, “who gets excited with visits to doctors?” So I won’t be all that weird. But really… argh…

If ever I’d buy my own health insurance, or get Blue Advantage or something, I’ll make sure to use it at least once a month. It’s really funny that I’m wanting to use it because it will end on the 28th. Oh well.

I love apple juice. Not the instant powdered apple juice/iced tea, or the local apple juice products. I like the ready-to-drink type in 1L-cartons or big 2L-jugs (err.. plastic containers). It’s an expensive luxury since the ones I want are the imported ones. I really hate the local ones like Twister. C2 Apple Green Tea is passable but I wouldn’t drink it all the time.

But Apple Juice like those from Mott’s, Berri, Treehouse (I think) or Welch… I love those. Especially Berri! It’s my favorite, but it’s a little bit pricier than the rest. If there are the other brands, I’ll get those instead.

Anyways, I was reading about other special health benefits of Apple Juice, and aside from it’s … well… healthy, there’s this something that you can do to clean out your colon using apple juice. This colon-cleansing regimen for 3 days seems to really work, according to the comments. It would be better to use organic apple juice or freshly squeezed (is that the right term?) apple juice right from your juicer. I really want to try this out. I’ll do this on my long vacation.

There are, of course, colon cleanse products too, but I’ll try this apple juice regimen first. I’m not too keen on prune juice, but I’ll definitely check it out.

NO, this isn’t about the J-Drama. It’s about me and how my life will be for a few weeks after February 23.

I’m thinking of writing up a schedule. Like what time I’ll wake up, walk my dog, eat, and so on. I want to still have a routine even though I’ll be bumming around mostly. I’ve decided not to continue gymming after February. Although I wanted to turn some of my fat into muscles, I read that I could probably use some muscle supplements combined with some exercise to make me strong. I just like punching people, that’s about it. Just kidding. I don’t need muscle supplements.

Well…. Maybe ….

That doesn’t really sound so exciting. That’s not yet final. -_-

Notice that I didn’t put things like going out or malling. I need to save as much as I can. lol.
