The very long waiting list
Today, I crossed off several things off my “not-written-down-but-must ought-to–do” list. Things like going for a run and using my Body Shop body scrub.
I went to school, had lunch and went to town with Katey Kim (you know like Silly Sally or Amazing Amanda but I can’t think of anything for K.) She went to meet her sister and I went shopping alone. I like shopping alone. I bought a top and a pair of shoes. Two days of shopping was awesome, spending some of my hard earned money from making coffee and smiling at everyone felt good.
You know vests are the ‘in’ thing now? I think it’s damn cool but I refuse to get it cos everyone is wearing it. I hate those really tight vests that wrap underneath the boobs (or maybe those girls I saw just have boobs that are too big?)? I think it’s gross..like what the hell? But anyway, I bought a top that came together with a very pretty sliver/grey vest.
And so basically what I am trying to say is that I own a vest now.
Then I came home. I had the sudden urge to go for a run. If you know me well enough, I hate running. I absolutely hate it, every year’s 2.4 km run was the worst day of the year. And yea, not forgetting I have been failing it since secondary 3 so I have to do the rerun which is equal to 2 worst days of the year. As I have been doing quite a bit of shopping lately, which also means I get to see myself half-naked more and buttoning and unbuttoning my shorts more. I can see the tummy now, and my shorts feels tighter. The PMS didn’t do me any good, I ate more too much, too many times. And not forgetting going back to school to see several people loosing weight and looking good.
And so we can’t deny we live in a world where looks, weights are important. I am not denying I do get obsessed about loosing the tummy or the flabby arm.
So yes, I did went for a short run. One round, about a football field (the real bigs one ok? not the mini street soccer sort). The next running session would probably be next year but I just ran for the sake of running, to make myself feel er..slightly better about the extra weight I gained. I like the after-run, with all the blood gushing to my face and feeling fresher. I just hate the running itself cos I can’t breathe.
And then since I managed to cross of running, I decided to cross somemore stuff off. I finally bought a scrubbing brush from downstairs and scrub my flowery pumps. I love those shoes, just refuse to wear it cos it’s damn dirty. They should been scrubbed since my trip back from Bangkok which was last December..
Then I showered and decided to use my Body Shop passion fruit scrub and also the peppermint foot scrub lying around the bathroom. I planned to use to them weekly but you can already guess..I don’t. I don’t even do the daily cleanse, tone and moisturise your face thing.
And of cos since I did all the above, I did the cleanse, tone and moisturise!
And that’s my day, crossing things off my “list”, like Earl’s in “My Name Is Earl”. It actually makes you feel good, doing things you ought to do daily/ weekly/ monthly. Maybe because I am a sucker for routine (I hate it but I have to admit I am), getting things “right in order” makes me feel good, like an assurance to myself?
And because today is a “feel good” day, I shall put this post under the “differently” category. And maybe if I do a new layout for my blog, I will feel excellent.
