Flashback Friday: One night in New York City

I was sorting out travel pictures when I saw this one. I thought it was a brilliant idea so I gave him a dollar in exchange of one picture.


A fabulous example of pure honesty.

What happened in the last four months..

I'm back!!!!

 I missed blogging so bad. =(

 My summer has been a big blur. I worked at least 80 hours a week this summer. I told myself that I'll still find time to blog and do something else other than working but obviously that didn't happen. So here are some updates.

 1. I got my own place. Yes. I'm a homeowner! It sounds so surreal. But yeah. I am. 

Yep! It's mine.

The house needed a lot of work so it kept me busy during my days off.  I tore wallpapers, painted walls and scrubbed windows and cabinets.

I also found myself saving up for a couch rather than shopping for clothes and picking out floors rather than  hunting for shoes. A little overwhelming but I'm starting to get the hang of it.

2. I had a major lifestyle revamp. Yes! I know that I'm not fat but I'm not fit either. I eat too much and exercise too little. I'm sick of all my stupid crash diets which just did more harm than good. I started asking my coworkers if they know any good workout videos and they all said the same thing: Jillian Michaels

Extreme Shed and Shred is a badass workout! Love it!

When I did one of her workout for the first time, I remember saying "Gosh this bitch is crazy!!!!" I was literally out of breath and my entire body felt like it was going into spasms.  I was so sore the morning after. Then I did it again.. and again..and again..and it became part of my daily routine. Needless to say, I became a fan. I started eating healthy too. I try to go to Whole Foods once a week to shop for organic fruits, veggies and grass fed meats.

After a month, I started looking for another kind of workout. Luckily I saw an article about Physique57. I was intrigued so I checked out the website and read all about them. I ordered a set of dvd right away. Physique57 is a barre method which combines yoga, pilates and dance. It's an insanely sexy and challenging workout. It targets each muscle group to the point of overload then stretches it for relief to develop long and lean muscles. I LOVE the workout and I love Tanya Becker too because she makes the workout so much fun.



3. I just came back from Florida and had a blast. Too many mojitos too little time!
