Slice of life from beyond the rainbow.

So, my legs are aching and so are my arms..
and this is the product of one of many gruelling 1 hour sessions
with my P.T. James and last night's yoga class.
As you know, I do whine a lot,
(Lol sorry Ashley I apologise for all the
"Ohmagod i cant walk, help meee. Aaaaah my legs feel
like jelly! Pain! Paaain!")
but in the end I'm more than pleased than the
results of his coaching and my hard work.

Going into this whole gym thing in the beginning
of the year, my goal wasn't to simply lose weight
as one simply expects to do, but also to increase my
stamina, fitness and flexibilty.
I've been at Cityfitness for about 3 months now,
and now I feel like I've achieved what I had set out
to do..
I've definately lost body fat and gained muscle in their place, but also I find myself doing a lot better in other aspects, such as running stamina,
core strength, balance and flexibility (though we both
agree that I'm still as inflexible as a brick. lol)
Cynical as I was when I first signed up,
I really do reap the results now, and dedication certainly pays off.
SO I've managed to slowly get rid of my terrible eating habits
and irregular sleep patterns, also lessen my
shopaholic ways by spending most of my time in the gym.
(It also does help when you notice that your clothes seem
to sit/look better on you than before.)
Its hard at first to get into an unfamiliar, tougher, routine,
but once you get into it, you'll be KEEN for a workout.
(Im so proud of you GabbyandAshley! ;])

LOL I know what you guys are thinking,
WHAT-HAPPENED-TO-THE-DEBBIE-WE-KNOW?
But seriously,
I'm practising what I preach..
so goodbye old unfit cynical i-hate-exercise debbie.
The gym is GREAT! ;D
Also, I would not be at this level without James' help
and patience.
Yes I know he's paid to do it, but still,
you gotta appreciate the people, man!
And yeah. He knows what he's doing and that makes
me know what I'm doing and he caters and changes up my routine
according to my needs, yet not forgetting to challenge me
at the same time. LIKETHISTIME. my god.
So yay, I'm happy.

So I guess the moral of this story is to
try and live a healthier lifestyle, nomatter
what you start with.
Baby steps add up, and you'll be pleased at the
progress you make at the end. ;D
Umm. OOPS just realised its 3 am.
HEH. shifty eyes.
Night my lovelies! :]

Penchant for the weird&quirky

Hello hello again!
Sorry for being away for so long,not that anyone cares..
Its Easter break, and I've been spending it talking to and hanging
out with real people like a normal person does. :]
And it feels GREAT.

Spent most of today with George and Sharon,
watching dodgey musicals as we do.
I swear, its completely coincidental..
We just honestly DO end up watching perverted musicals. LOVELOVE.
(Love how intimidating and awkward it gets for Sharon. HA!
"OHMYGOSH!THISISWORSETHANROCKYHORROR!")
but now its becoming our tradition, as is PIZZA!
But seriously, how else would you spend a beautiful
saturday but with your two favourite
dysfunctional people watching other people getting
naked/throats' being slit in musicals?
OH. and also playing Halo 3.
George, I sincerely apologise for accidentally killing you so many times. :x
-wince-
hehehehehe!

Best part of the day,
kneeling down and cracking up laughing...
SHARON'S FIRST TWO TOES ARE WAAAAAAAAAY LONGER THEN THE OTHER THREEEE!
and then George was like -pause- CACKLECACKLE "MUUUTANT! ;]
But george, as you know is a mutant too, or as she proudly puts it
"I'm the RAREST of the RARE!" she gloats.
This is because she has Heterochromia,
meaning she has two differently coloured eyes,
in which, blue and brown eyes tend to occur more often.
In George's case, she has a green and a brown eye,
which is EXTREMELY rare.
Hence her gloating rights.
Oh well. all the better to do her spastic expression with.
And then there's me.
They both agree I have a sick mutated mind.
case in point : Ive watched Sweeney Todd many many MANY
times. and I love it. And in other movies I YELL
"WHAT?WHY IS NOONE DEAD IN THIS MOVIE?"
which is greeted by concerned glances by the pair.
:D so yes.
We ALL belong in a circus.

Also, watched Clash of The Titans today.
If it weren't for my dad who dragged me there,
I wouldn't pay to see it.
Its just like every other movie in its genre..
Also I feel like it ripped off bits from its predecessors,
Hero.. blabla...Three witches...blabla..Prophecies... Um hello? Shakespeare's Macbeth much??
BUT I got a pleasant suprise when the Argoi warriors
were gathering and one of them was like "This is a suicide mission."
(or something along those lines.)
AND DING! guess who? NICHOLAS HOULT! :]
(aka. Tony Stonem off Skins.)
and then the Argoi princess was
being compared to Aphrodite, blabla..
and DING! Her maid-in-waiting, KAYA SCODELARIO! :] :]
(aka. Effy Stonem off Skins.)
And if you dont know already, they're my fave
Skins characters. Minus Maxxie of course.
So that made my daaaaaay!
Except Nic's character is a WIMP. :[
and Kaya's character only gets like 15 seconds airtime.
But she looks BEAUTIFUL. and he doesn't look half bad in a skirt and braids.
Good to see them again though, seems like its been so long!
-skins season 4! skins season 4!-

(Cornwall Park School Fair.)

So my day started at 9.45..
And what do I wake up to?
Emily's frantic knocking at my door lol.
Cause I was supposed to be up at 9.30
waiting for her... (wince.)
I slide open my window, slurring
"zzzEmilyzz I justzz woke up." (pathetic smile follows.)
"GETYOURASSDOWNHEREWOMAN!"
-sigh-
tread downstairs and open the door ever so slighty.
"But I'm in my jammies emily!" I protest.
'IDONTCAREJUSTGETCHANGED!"
-sigh, okay.-
so STOMPSTOMPSTOMP goes emily into my room.
"emily i'm tired. i hate you. you woke me up."
"GETSOMECLOTHESON!"
-sigh okay.-

So two minutes and no breakfast for Debbie later,
we were off.
"You know I hate you Em."
"Its okay cause you'll be saying you love me when we get there."
And we waited in eager anticipation for the hall doors to
be opened along with the other 500 people in the queue..
Gawd, what is it with people and clothes for under $10??
winkwink.
So yes. The doors did finally open and it was like a rampage.
But thats what you expect when there's a SCHOOL HALL FULL
OF CLOTHES!
So yes. Grabbed 2 blazers, a brand new NZ musicmonth
top for $15.
So regret not buying the waffle knit sweather.
When I went back for it, it was goooone.

And Emi got 2 vests and 2 tops for..
WAIT FOR IT..

And chocolate fudge.

had to go 5 ways. lol poor Annabel.

And Jessi got the MEANEST soft toys..

And then we got awesome beaded bracelets YAY!
so cute, so elementary school. and they were 3 for $1.
And I swear my orange one has an Ikea bead.
Ah, childhood memories flood back.
Good on you, little girl who made my bracelet!

Then everyone came back to my house and crashed.
And apparently I'm an Asian mum in training
cause I tried to stuff everyone with food.
;D
"Would you like some doritos?"
"No, we'll tell you when we're hungry."
"Okay. But seriously, would you like some doritos?
or how bout some asian candy? Ice cream? No? oh. okay."
And Jessi fell in love with PATD all over again after seeing
my box set. Now I feel horrid for
showing it such little looooove.

So Yes. Awesome day.
Plus photos..!

2. Emi jumps. Annie's epic photo-bombing skills. :D

Cause it just doesnt get better than Velma kelly.

Neways, productive funfunFUN day today!
More about it some other time.
xxx

Never before in my life have I ever been
this ashamed of myself.

So there was this concert held by the people from
SADD (students against drunk driving) and me and jessi
went to have a look-see.
But by the door there was this smallish-built older guy,
with a bit of a limp, scars across his face and little backpack.
and my first thought was "creep. whats he doing in our school."
After it ended, we walked out towards from the main entrance
towards our classes, but we got distracted by a mini-expo
at the foyer basically about the perils of drunk driving, etc.

Then what struck my attention was a large board of pictures,
starting off with a typical healthy young guy, obviosuly loved
by many, doing the haka, palying rugby with mates,
family portraits in which everyone's smiling.
But then,
the next series of photos were of a car that had crashed
into a tree, it was so badly damaged, that it was beyond recognition.
From these photos, you could see dismembered bodies from beyond
the wreckage of the car.

Underneath the board, there was a caption saying
[name of man who was featured in photos above]
was drunk, driving two other people in the car,
and got into an accident. He was the only survivor,
but suffers the effects until today.
Then I realised that the man in the photos was
actually the very man I saw in the doorway
who I so blatantly labelled 'creep'.
And I felt soooo bad.

Then Saankhya came running up towards him
and was like
"Are you the one who gave the speech just now?"
When he nodded, she took both his hands in hers
and said "You take care now."

I was so moved by this,
and what made it even worse was when he turned around
to acknowledge me and jessi and gave us the most sincere smile.
I just thought "I did not deserve that."
And I cried.

Its times like these that make you appreciate life for what it is.
It made me feel so ashamed of myself cause, here's this guy thats
owning up and taking the blame for what he's done,
facing the guilt every day for whats he's done,
and he's trying to change his life for the better,
and I'm mentally putting him down.
I had no right whatsoever to do so,
and in doing so, I have to live with the consience
of discriminating a stranger even before I've met them,
to live with the guilt of refusing to get to know someone
before judging them.

For this I am truly sorry.
Im also terribly apologetic about the fact that I didnt
learn your name.
But, thank you for teaching me such a significant lesson today
and giving me the chance to change my ways,
despite what I did.
Your courage to face up to what you've done is unmatched

And to you, best luck for the future.

Hopefully you'll meet more people like Saankhya,

and hopefully I'll see you again someday just

to say how sorry I am, and to truly thank you

for your smile today.

and now, the battle is won.

Sorry for being away so long..
Been busybusybusy, and as of late,
sicksicksick. Ugh.
But yes, its been a pretty productive hiatus, here's some of
the things i've conquered and done :
-Managed to recruit more than 2 gym buddies.
-FiaFia Night; makeup&food.
-Polyfest; makeup.
-Haircut.
-AliceInWonderland. in 3D! :]
- LadyGagaConcert. which was fucking.awesome.
-Bought stuff from MAC's spring forecast colour 3 range :)
-Dinner(s) with Clifton and his parentals.
-Getting over how much I hate my job.
-6 personal training sessions. And counting.
Man, if I dont get guns by the end of the week,
I'll tae-bo James' ass. Haha. naaah.

Umm yeah.
Thats about it really.
There's still a lot I havent done..
-narrows eyes at 2 page Chem homework-
And I have to come up with an art design proposal.. VERYSOON.
No idea what I'm going to do.. ... ....
Would like to promote an indie film, but then
that means either capturing my own stills,
or breaching someone's copyright. GRR.
Or designing for a makeup line.
but then imma have to go find a good model..
and steal Rach's Nikon D80. ;]

Still pretty keeeeeeeen on the latter though. Dont know
how hard it will turn out to be... Cause I'm really not keen
on swapping projects once I've started.
I think I should talk to Ann/Rhye/Jules about this...
Come to think of it, maybe I should do a vintage boutique or smth?
Hmmm. Will consult Miss Murphy.

But yes.
Anita thinks I use the words 'perve' and 'porn' too much.
I beg to differ, I truly do!
But anyway, without further ado, here's some fashion
PORN for you to PERVE at.
