Work..

Why is it that when you are an admin for a group of people that sometimes it feels as though people don't appreciate you. i know that there are some people that are thankful for the little to big items that i do for them.. but sometimes it would be nice to hear a thanks.. or here's a gift certificate for a spa, mall, flowers or something to say thanks too. they seem to forget about me on holidays and 'admin' day.

but i guess i should be thankful that i have a job. healthy, good friends, family, and so on..

Countdown.. 27 more days

So it's 27 more days until I turn the BIG 3-0! I know most people dread being 30 or even hate saying that they are 30 years old. But for me I want to embrass it as some of the few that are with me. I feel that turning 30 is just a number but that I have done things that I am proud of and not so proud of. For instance thanks to L and C awhile ago took me skydiving for my birthday!! what fun that was cuz i have always wanted to do that.. and last year hubby and i not only bought a place but he gave me the most wonderful dog i could ask for - for my birthday... (not sure how he's going to top that one this year). i work at a more stable company that i can see myself at for awhile... all my friends and family are healthy.. i have made a couple good friends at work - who would ever imagine that.. that i can call friends and not just 'my co-worker'. i have reconnected with some really old friends that i thank god for. i married a wonderful man that tries his hardest to make me happy and would do anything for. i have two closest friends in the world that are like sisters to me and would never trade.

Things I would like to do in the next 5-10 years..

1. Visit Japan, Hong Kong, do a Europe tour, and a couple more countries i can't think of..
2. Try to see Hubby's family more... which are my family too (i am very lucky to have IL's that are so welcoming)
3. Hopefully have a baby
4. Go skydiving again
5. Drive cross country
6. Go down to lala land more to see more of hubby's family
7. find my ULTIMATE drink before i do get preggo

Leaving some blank spots for future items.

What my birthday means....

Your Birthdate: July 21

Being born on the 21st day of the month (3 energy) is likely to add a good bit of vitality to your life. The energy of 3 allows you bounce back rapidly from setbacks, physical or mental. There is a restlessness in your nature, but you seem to be able to portray an easygoing, "couldn't care less" attitude. You have a natural ability to express yourself in public, and you always make a very good impression. Good with words, you excel in writing, speaking, and possibly singing. You are energetic and always a good conversationalist. You have a keen imagination, but you tend to scatter your energies and become involved with too may superficial matters. Your mind is practical and rational despite this tendency to jump about. You are affectionate and loving, but very sensitive. You are subject to rapid ups and downs.

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

Thank god for YOGA!!

so i went to yoga last night.. and i still feel bloated but it helped me not so crampy!! yoga is just the best thing for a body. i hope that i will be able to keep taking some sort of yoga until i am totally old and grey.. :-D but then i guess i can move onto tai chi then.

Naps aren't just for babies..

The weekend was great!! I got to go on a date with my hubby.. and we walked around santana row. spent some time with the family on sat and sun.. and in between that all i took LOTS of naps.. i can't believe how sleepy i have been..

lately i have been enjoying taking naps. not sure if that goes for everyone but when you are a baby you take lots of naps.. toddler not so much but you definitely fight it cuz you want to play.. and then definitely not really as you are in elementary school, junior high or high school.. there are just too many things to do and friends to go out with.

...... but now i LOVE my nap time.

Little ReIkO Graduates..

well today my little sister graduates from elementary school.. i can't believe how big she is and how smart this girl is. she amazes me all the time. but sometimes i wonder if she is growing up too fast. she never really seemed to play house, school or even brought anything with her to a restuarant. you know when you were little you'd bring favorite toy, doll, stuffed animal and/or some paper and pens to color while you waited for the food. but she never really has done that. and she talks more grown up - i guess this happens a lot when you are around a lot of adults.. she is the 'baby' of the family.. the baby that my mom had after getting remarried. i am so glad that she is around because i am trying to teach her things that my parents didn't.. or at least same but different.. my parents told us how we had to work for our money/allowance.. but i also do this but in turn try telling her that she should keep half to spend and the rest put aside into a savings so that she can buy something big later..

Yoga

Okay I really enjoy doing Bikram Yoga.. But I hate that it's getting so freakin' hot already i am already sweating sitting waiting for class to start.. By the half moon I am sweating like a pig!! But I guess I should not complain because it feel great after.. I am not too sure about helping me de-stress cuz i don't feel any different there.. But I definitely sleep a lot better.. The key is that I need to push myself in every pose.

Now why doesn't regular gyms offer this??? i not only have a membership at 24 but paying a monthly rate for Bikram yoga!!! how am i saving money?

I guess i need to learn to save in other areas..

Relaxing weekend..

Friday I took the day off so Hubby and i did some arrends... And we laid out by the pool - and also napped.. :-P went back home and watched a movie. then we got ready to go to a graduation and he went out with his friends.. :-D

Saturday basically lounged around the condo cuz my tummy wasn't feeling well so i just wanted to rest..

Sunday went to go for a nice walk on a trail with L and S. Ate some yummy sandwiches at Erik's deli.. Bought some groceries at cosco.. L and I decided to save some money on dinners we'd go to cosco for those 'lazy' days. (easy cookin') and we also bought some fruit.. cuz everyone can always eat some more fruit. then we went to get our hairs down..

My FrIdAy!!

Yupee today is my friday... i took tomorrow off so that i could spend some quality time with the hubby since i probably won't get to spend much time with him the rest of the weekend. :-P

Why is that even when you live with someone you really don't spend a lot of time with them? And why is it that everyone else thinks otherwise?

HeLp!!

okay i think i am officially lame.. how the heck do you reply to a post!!???!!???

Until I can figure it out.. thanks bea i will let her know.. :-P

Drew - Belle is my little doggie.. She's a maltipoo - cute little fur ball.

Last night yoga was GREAT!!! I am a bit sore in the legs but that's okay cuz i know i worked them out.

Bloated..

Why is it that women are the ones that have to go through an emotional roller coaster on a monthly basis? We not only have to go through this but we get BLOATED and so on.. Geez

Updates from the weekend..

Friday: Hung out with a friend.. And we took our doggies with us.. So we went to eat dinner at Santana Row. It was nice not worrying about Belle being home alone. :-(

Saturday: Went out for breakfast with the hubby.. Then got ready to go to a baby shower.. It was really cute the hosts did a great job. And they played games that were fun.. I am not one to play games at parties but i guess if i had to these were good. Then off to the city to get my hair done.. Which may have not been a smart thing on my part but oh well you learn from your mistakes. i just need to learn to style this monster hair that i now have... Which means that I will mostlly be straightening it until i feel more comfortable. then went to eat some yummy thai food with the hubby.

Sunday: went to my mom's place to hang out and watch my little sister... and my little sister (LS) and older one (OS) gave belle some birthday presents.. my little baby turned 1 on sunday.. so she brought special cookies to share with her cousin tanuki and hen. and the rest of the day LS and i just watched movies.. :-P i was supposed to go for a run but was way TOO lazy and sat on my butt..

Monday: work and bikram yoga!! cooked some dinner and caught up on gilmore girls.
