Snow World for Rhea's 24th Birthday!




We celebrated Rhea's birthday at Snow World, Star City last June 14.

Umeffort talaga ako dito. E sabi kasi -15 degrees! So, ako naman, ang worst kong naranasan e -6 degrees. Sabi ko, naku, haggard ito. Kailangan maghanda otherwise masasayang lang ang money at baka mag-give up kami agad sa lamig.

Nasad din kami nung una na di pwedeng magdala ng camera, pero ok na rin pala kasi mada-damage ang camera sa super lamig.

So... come Saturday... ang dami kong dala!
3 bonnets, 3 sets of gloves, 2 scarves, sweatshirt, extra pants, North Face waterproof shoes, toes socks, and 2 winter jackets for me and Momon.

Pinagtawanan nila ko! Pero sabi ko, "Ako ang tatawa sa inyo pag nanlamig na kayo sa loob! Hahaha!"

Si Bennet, super excited, sa ticket booth pa lang naka-full attire na. Mukha tuloy kaming mangho-holdap, with red gloves! Alam na alam tuloy ng mga tao na sa Snow World kami pupunta. Sa sobrang excited din ni Ben, pumasok sya sa closet, akala nya yun na ang entrance.

Brr! Pumasok na kami! Malamig, duh! Pero it's more of ICE World than Snow World, really. Feel ko di naman yun -15. May mga ice sculptures pero pasira na at madumi na.

Ang pinakamasayang part ay ang slides na paikot. Kukuha ka ng board at magsa-slide ka. Nakakagulat sa una, muntik akong mapa-slide na walang board kasi ang dulas. Aray! At pagnagre-race kami nila Momon and Ben, ako laging talo. Si Momon may technique na hindi ko alam kahit na saan slot sya mag-slide, sya pa rin nauuna. Tinulak na nga ako ng ng isang staff gamit ang walis kasi sa bandang end ng slide e natitigil ako.

May isa pang slide na diretso lang at uupuan mo lang ang jacket. Corny to, pero naging nakakatawa kasi hindi kami umaandar ni Momon. Nakakahiya tuloy.

Isa lang photo namin kasi P100 per photo, yak! Tinulungan ko pa ang photographer magframe. Ok ba ang kinalabasan?

Nakapag-batuhan din naman kami ng snow, kasi kuniha namin yung mga naipong 'snow' sa mga puno. Ginaya kami ng mga bata, pero sila ang napagalitan. Hahaha!

All in all, masaya sya. Mainly because kasama ko ang C5 (naks!). Medyo matagal kami sa loob, mga 1 hour at masasabing kong nasulit namin. Punta rin kayo!

Happy birthday Rhea!

Another 90 Days

I finished my 90 day fitness regime last April 25.

Between April 25 and today, I've had an erratic workout routine. Super taliwas sa naging fitness plan ko through the first 90 days. I played volleyball every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday nights; 1.5 hours of Yoga every Saturday; and some workouts during the week.

As for my food intake... I didn't have any difficulties caused I'd like to believe that I've trained myself to stay away from fatty and processed food. Pero I had some slip-ups, syempre. I baked cookies, and I ate some of them.

I didn't weigh myself weekly.

***

Fortunately, though, I did not gain. I take this as an indication that I'm ready for another 90 days of intense fitness activities. Finally, my body is comfortable with my new weight and can actually give up some more weight. I'd also like to have more muscle definition, in the arms and abs, specifically.

I'm embarking on this second 90 days because I want to lose 4 more lbs. I also crave exercise and I feel so much more inspired when I have a schedule and a goal. But more so because I'm slowly feeling myself slipping back to my old eating habits, and I want to stop it right now.

So, good luck to me! Day 1 is on Monday, June 16.
