Hello! It’s been a while, almost three months, since I’ve visited this corner of cyberspace. I’m planning to spice up this page by updating you on what’s been going on but for now I am reaching out to my friends (and the whole internet, I guess) to help me fundraise for Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. [...]
I didn’t realize until recently how much better it is to be 31 than 21. Everyone worries about getting older, especially those milestone years: 20, 30, 40, 50. I was especially concerned about turning 30 once I hit 28, and I obsessed about it for the two years leading up to it. Have I accomplished [...]
If someone told I’d be competing in a triathlon a year ago, I would’ve told them they were nuts. A year ago I was out of shape, a little heavier, and had no plans to incorporate any sort of workout in my life. Then in January my friend Cici convinced me to run the Ragnar Relay, [...]
I can’t believe that only a few months ago, January 26 to be exact, I wrote about joining the Ready Freddies for the Ragnar Relay and going for my first five mile run in Long Beach. That run was tough, and it reminded me of how much work I would need to do in order [...]
I don’t know if I’ve told you this, but almost every Sunday I run a scary number of miles with a group of people. We’re all training for the Ragnar Relay, which is only four weeks away from last Friday. The race has a total distance of 177 miles, starting in Santa Barbara and ending [...]
Generally, I like being fit and don’t mind working out. I work out most days during the week, either in the morning or after work, and it makes me feel revitalized afterwards. That being said, there is nothing worse than getting up early on Saturday morning to run. It suuuuucccckkkks. It sucks dragging your butt [...]
When it comes to fitness I’m all talk and no action. I’ve wanted to get back into shape for the last couple of months but have done absolutely nothing about it. I like to blame it on my unpredictable work schedule, but the truth is I’m just lazy. I’ve been thinking of joining the gym [...]
Once every three months I fall off the face of the Earth. I don’t return phone calls and emails timely, and I don’t have time to post entries on this blog. I’m talking about our quarter-end close at work. That’s when we submit our quarterly results to management, along with 1,567 other forms they [...]
The main reason I went to the Philippines last month was to celebrate my Grandma’s birthday. My Grandma celebrated a milestone birthday, her 75th, and my parents and I came to represent. The party was held on her rooftop terrace overlooking the neighborhood where I lived until I was eight years old. Our old house [...]
Dear Princess, It’s been almost a year since you’ve passed away and not a single day goes by that I don’t think of you in some small way. Had you lived, today would have been your 10th birthday. You were my first real pet, the first pet that I’ve been solely responsible for. I tried [...]
