What Joy Would Buy with Php39
July 31, 2008Now that I am constantly practicing a lifestyle focused on healthy living, i thought it to be timely posting a revised version of this post to describe how serious I am keeping my body away from junk food, MSG and cooking oil. You see I NEVER ever do exercise during my highschool and college days even if i was jokingly teased by our neighbors implying i am fat, thus “ayan na si Joy, kakain ng bahaw” in my eardrums whenever i was on my way walking home from school. I was at ease with briskwalking and the occasional backyard badminton with friends to take care of my baby fats plus the saying that you shed those fats as you grow up anyway. Thinking this can get me to a Bb Pilipinas shape with no effort at all was turning out to be false hope when i started working here in Makati and saw girls/women my age with actual jaws i thought didnt ever existed.
But no, it didnt dawned on me right away. This whole living healthy thing started because i was head over feet with a certain guy and i would do anything to be with him, even if that means i have to run a race track. And run I did, at Marikina Sports Complex almost every weekend not expecting it could practically change my life.
What i would buy with 39 pesos:
Mister Donut Choco Bagel with Coffee
Dole Sliced Apple at 7-11
Big Oatmeal Cookie at Fruitmagic
Three huge Cavendish bananas and Coke Light in can
McDonald’s chicken fillet (you take out the breading)
McDonald’s value salad in ranch dressing
three packs of whole wheat Skyflakes crackers and Dutchmill yogurt drink
Monoveauday
July 7, 2008Just for the record, i woke early this morning just in time to reach the office at exactly eight thirty which is something i havent done for the past months. Yes, i suck with rules, thank you very much.
One particular thing that triggered me to post this day after what seemed like a rebellion against i.ph is the fact that i missed an office outing. See i dont usually go to the beach or party like an animal because i am naturally a quiet person but growing up and realizing the importance of socializing, the introvert me was opened up to a wonderful opportunity of having fun without taking my clothes off. And no, i dont mean that’s the only fun i know of (heh). Its the great people and cheap talk - to put it simply.
Words may not be enough. Go figure.
i missed kayaking
missed the customary group shot
the jump shot
…and a hundred of things more.
