Haha! I literally laughed out loud at this. It's so hilarious!

Diet Week 2

Week 2 of the diet! I have been conscientiously dieting and not overeating and drinking lots of water. I have also been going to the gym (when there is time in my timetable), and walking for at least half an hour when I don't go to the gym. Here is the result.

Weight: 78.4kg

Right arm: 14.5 inches

Left arm: 14.5 inches

Right thigh: 28 inches

Left thigh: 27 inches

Bust: 40 inches

Waist: 37.5 inches

Hips: 43 inches

Weight lost: 1kg

Total inches lost: 1inch (0.5 from waist and hips each)

I'm so motivated right now. I will continue dieting and gymming as much as I can now :D

Great News!

Hi! I have successfully purchased two baby guinea pigs. They're expensive, but that's ok cos I know they're healthy and pretty tame. Heehee. One is a short haired brown, and the other is a short haired orange and white. They're female sisters. So awesome.

Pictures will be up next week!

New Things!

In the space of two days, I have acquired three new things.

1) a new friend
2) a new guinea pigs cage (or old? It was second hand)
3) a new drainage container

I made a new friend! It's odd because I don't normally go all out to make friends on my own, but my best friend's cousin turned out to be a super extrovert. And now TADAAA~ I have a new friend.

The new guinea pig cage is actually a tub. It looks ADORABLE with all the accessories I bought for it inside. I gotta buy some bedding though. So I can finally bring my little babies home. Pictures of the tub tomorrow.

Drainage container is for my new Hoyakerrii (aka Sweetheart Hoya). I don't have a drainage pot, so I'm sorta making one out of paper mache and water-proofing it using acrylic paint (which I can't find!!) and clear varnish. First coat will be completed tomorrow morning! Needs three layers to make it firm and strong.

That's life. Yes it is.

Update about the photo contest, I'm losing. I must be in fourth place now. And to add insult to injury, the photo in first place is a photo that is clearly not of the same quality as mine. I kid you not. It's true! It's not as nice as mine! Other photos were not nicer too. It's all a popularity contest. See who responds more to your pleas for help.

I am not popular guyz. NOT. AT. ALL.

This is the Stereotypes Song by Ray Willian Johnson (aka Your Favourite Martian) Haha I love his songs they're all so hilarious!

And then there were TWO

Hi! Something exciting has happened!

I have decided to start a new blog just for my nails. For the past year or so, I have pretty much been obsessed with my nails. I love going nail polish shopping, and when I get bored, I search Youtube for nail art videos.

Cos I'm awesome like that.

Head on over to http://lustfornails.blogspot.com/ and give it some love! ^^

The Aurora from Terje Sorgjerd on Vimeo.

Auroras are formed by the collision of charged particles directed by the Earth's atmosphere. It's mostly found closer to the polar regions, particularly at the North Pole. And it occurs at night.

I would love to see auroras for myself one day.

Help Needed!

Hi guys, another day when I regret not blogging regularly for the past few months :( I now need your help! I've taken part in a photo taking contest in Facebook, and the photo with most 'Likes' wins. I really hope you guys help me to vote.

Click here to vote. You might have to like the person's page first before voting for me.

Yes, I'm not above asking for votes here and there. Rest assured, you will be spammed by my twitter. 'Command-C' and 'Command-V' will be pressed so many times, the keys will be unrecognizable.

This is not a virus I swear. In case you're wondering, my photo looks like this:

It's not too shabby in my humble opinion, so please take a few minutes to vote for me. It would mean the world to me.

Dear Body

Dear Body,

You have served my admirably for the past 20 and a half years, and I thank you for it. You came into this world whole, fresh, and untainted. However, years spent on this planet has taken it's toll on you. You have given me shoulder aches for the past two years, and I accept it without a word. Sure, I put the nasty smelling muscle rub stuff in hopes of relieving the pain. But still, I accept it.

In addition to shoulder pains, you have recently plagued me with knee pains. Why, oh WHY would you give me knee pains? I was trying to whip you into shape! But noooo, you gave me knee pains, so I can't run anymore. And it hurts to go up and down steps if I'm carrying something heavy You didn't stop at the knees did you? Oh no, you have to give me more! Here comes lower back pains. From carrying an extremely heavy shoulder bag. Inexplicably, here comes pain at this really weird place that's between my lower back and butt. Ow.

I'm sorry alright? I'm sorry! Can we stop this war now? I want to diet and exercise so that I can be healthy again! You will accept going to the gym nearly everyday, and walking for half an hour on days with no gym. You will accept it, and like it! You will eat healthy foods and not crave for junk! I will beat you into submission if I have to.

I dream of a day when I can once again run wildly in a field with no pain. Do you want that dream? Dream with me, Body. We can do it together. Stop this war against me because both you and I know it's futile. You cannot fight me. Do you know why? Because I will end up like this:

Do you want that? I surely don't. My confidence is fragile as it is. I don't want people running away from me because they can't stop bleeding from my eyes. I want friends.

I guess the purpose of this letter is to say that...
Yes, you are fat. Or rather, WE are fat.

We're gonna change it together. I know I can be mentally strong enough to resist temptation. I've done it once, I can do it again.

Let's be strong together!

Love,
Your Owner

Sometimes I wish all my days ended like that. I had alot of fun shooting it.

Diet Week 1

Ohoho! See I'm blogging again!

Went revising which was nice. I'm surprised I actually got anything done. Gotta admit though, my rate of learning slowed down when Saheed arrived. Heehee.

Today is the day I start my new diet and exercise regime! Everyone's been calling me fat recently. Which is a shame because I have never felt more confident in my life. When someone calls me fat it really spoils my day.

Let's start with the measurements shall we? Every Monday I'm going to note down my weight and my measurements. (Bust, waist, hips, thighs arms)

Right arm: 14.5 inches

Left arm: 14.5 inches

Right thigh: 27.5 inches

Left thigh: 27.5 inches

Bust: 40 inches

Waist: 38 inches (I just drank alot of water. Honest)

Hips: 43.5 inches

I also weigh 79.3kg at the moment. Which is an improvement! For some reason about a week ago I was above 80kg. It was upsetting.

Don't judge me! It was hard resisting to suck in my tummy. But I have to be honest with myself.

Exercise regime: get in at least a solid half hour of exercise everyday be it brisk walking or stretching. I'll also be going to gym for about an hour or so three times a week.

Diet: On weekdays, drinking two cups of water and eating a handful of food at a time. This is to increase metabolism. Also this will prevent me from overeating. Weekends, I can't do it cos I'll be with my family, but I'll only eat ONE PORTION when I eat out. Nothing more.

That's all for today! Byeee.

P.S. : Any fat comments and I'll slap you across the face -.-

Must! Study!

OK, so now I've decided to post more on this blog. That way, if I need any help from readers (not that I have any), I can just post on this blog! Wheee!

There's this mid-term test coming up and I really can't be bothered to study for it. It's STATISTICS! And statistics is just about as appealing as wading into a swamp filled with poo. But I gotta do it! It's the last module of statistics I have to take to complete my degree (Hallelujah!).

On to studying then.

Update on guinea pigs, I went to post a discussion on this really cute guinea pigs website called Happy Guinea Pigs. Check it out here. I posted about wanting to get a pair of free female guinea pigs and the person who created the page was like "you're looking for free baby guinea pigs to adopt?" And I was like YES YES YES! OK maybe I was less enthusiastic. But still, I hope she has contacts!

To be honest, I don't really care if the guinea pig is a cavy (purebreed). All I want is a sweet pet to look after. I would love a kitten, but I can't keep them in cages and it's more demanding. Also, guinea pigs are larger than hamsters, and less active. They're also very vocal. Like me. Somehow I feel that they fit my personality more. Next to cats of course. Cats/dogs will always be top on my list.

Another update, I found this website for brilliant recipes. I love love love it! Awesomely amazing. It's just a website where you can check out loads of tried and tested recipes, from salads, to appetizers, to main courses, to baking. You get the idea. Check it out here.

I think I gotta change my blogskin soon. Not being able to see my mouse when I scroll over the boxes is just driving me crazy!

Off to study now. Maybe I'll post tomorrow, maybe I won't. Ha!

Hi everyone. Wow it's been SO LONG.

Well. I'm looking for two baby guinea pigs to adopt so if any of you happen to know anyone whose guinea pigs have just given birth and want to give them good homes. PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

I'm so excited to get a furry pet that's bigger than a hamster.

It's so cute and fluffy I could DIE!

Thankyou!
