I miss my cousins!!



I haven't seen or hung out with my cousins here in Union city for hecka days now. It's weird that we never find the time to chill, play board games and bbq like the good old days. It is also hard that most of my cousins, our age (25+) lives in Jacksonville, FL. They try to visit once every year but how I wish we are all here in CA so we can see each other a lot. But then again, I hardly see my cousins here. Dexter is in Iraq right now and I hope he is doing okay. Matt, my bros friend but he is like family to us moved to Vegas. Phen is doing his own thing and so is Kevin. Janice is also busy with her own life but we get to see her sometimes. And lastly, my bro. I don't see that punk anymore!! He used to plan most of the cousins get together and would buy all the meat for bbq and the alcohol. With the holidays coming up, I do miss them. We all went to Vegas 3 years ago for New Years but did not make last year since I had a real bad flu. I'm so jealous how Ge's cousins find time to see each other 2X a year to celebrate Thanksgiving and Xmas. We are planning a camping trip next year at Yosemite so hopefully everyone can make it.

Piggin' out!!


Last night, my sis and I went to a terrific Indian restaurant. I know it is totally cheating because we just finished working out HARD for 90 minutes but I’m famished and I’m so ready to pig out! I’ve been craving for Indian food but I can’t get Ge to eat it with me coz he is not a fan of Indian food. He particularly dislikes the pungent smell of the food. DUH! it’s from the spices they use. Anyways, there is this Indian restaurant across Kaiser Union city and just few blocks from Ge’s townhouse, so we decided to check it out. Before we left the gym, our trainer had a little chit chat with us. He particularly likes to ask us what we ate for the day and what we are planning to eat after the workout. So we told him that we are having Indian food for dinner. He said it is okay as long as low carbs and spicy. We ordered vegetable samosa (yum!), chicken tikka masala, fish curry and eggplant. Of course we wanted to eat “healthy” so we ordered wheat naan as our carbs. YAH RIGHT! we ended ordering rice. It was so much better with rice...hahaha. I know it is hard to estimate the calories but I just stop eating when I felt full. I probably ate way more than what I normally eat for dinner but it was worth it! And besides, another workout session again tonight so I’ll just workout hard-errr. Ge you are totally missing out on Indian food! Ethiopian food is next on my list.

My work pantry

Hi everyone, as you all know, my sis and I signed up with a personal trainer to lose weight (for me at least) and to learn to eat healthier. In the beginning, I found "eating healthy" a challenge but I'm getting the hang of it. It was really hard for me to eat my first oatmeal (I know it's OA, but I was gagging) for breakfast since I 'm so used to eating leftover food from dinner. But my friend Maricar told me try the "Maple brown sugar" oatmeal and I ♥ it. I add about 1 cup of light soymilk and I have my Filipino "champurado".lol. My trainer said that my Maple brown sugar is actually not good because of the sugar content (15g), but I found this Weight control oatmeal (Maple brown sugar) and the sugar content is only 2g. I also need to eat snacks, so I bought trail mix and wheat crackers. I usually snack on fresh fruits such as pineapple and apple but I run out of it. I believe that half the battle of eating healthy is being prepared. So stock up on some healthy snacks in your little work pantry! FYI, the Cup noodle is just a back up when I'm really starving.
