You look good. I’d say DAMN, but you’re my little sister so I’m trying to keep it PG.

[…]

Damn. I bit my lip looking at you.

Edgar. LOL
  • Me:

    How was your workout?

  • J:

    Okay. I found out I had 18% body fat.

  • Me:

    Oh, that's good, right?

  • J:

    =( Well, I used to be 10%...

  • Me:

    Aww, well if it makes you feel better, I'm like 35% body fat.

  • J:

    Noooo... (Look of disbelief) I don't believe that...

  • Me:

    It's true. My scale tells me so.

  • J:

    Well, that's okay. It's okay for girls to have more body fat. At least that's what I personally believe.

  • J:

    By the way, I like your nails.

  • Me:

    =D Thanks, I just did them today.

  • *Sigh* You are such a cutie.

So, we didn’t actually get drunk, but I think it was a successful LAF date nonetheless. Lisa and I got a pretty good buzz and of course Amy quit early on in the game. It was still fun though.

Bicardi, Mike’s Classic Margarita, 소주, and a White Russian shot for me.

Yeah, I was definitely buzzed. A few more drinks/shots and I would have been a goner.

I really needed this weekend, especially after all the stress at work. I feel re-energized and ready for whatever this week has to offer.

I’ve been having a difficult time doing this lately - ever since they fired Timothy. And you know that’s a bad sign if such a chill, happy-go-lucky individual as myself can’t see the upside of things. It seems like everything went downhill the moment they made that decision. Every day, a new problem surfaces, more projects come up, more work is thrown in my face as though I don’t already have enough on my plate. Today was horrible… miserable. I felt so emotionally drained and exhausted, I think I almost had an emotional/mental breakdown. Too much has happened in the last two weeks and I’m not sure how much more I can take before I seriously start crying. It seems as though every day I’m asked to do something new - something that really isn’t even my responsibility. I’m all for being a team player and helping my coworkers out, but when it’s at the expense of my own regular work, I get frustrated. Really, people? I’m only one person. I can only do so much - and that is far from what you’re asking of me. I really miss Timothy. It was stupid of them to fire him so abruptly without giving his team time to adjust. They should have given him the opportunity to train us on the things he does without us knowing. Because now, we’re stuck picking up the pieces he left behind while struggling to keep up with our routine tasks. Today was the low point of this week as last Tuesday was the low point of last week. I’m not sure when things will get better, but right now, the beacon of light at the end of the tunnel might as well be nonexistent. The only highlight of today (aside from lunch with Michelle where we could escape the misery of work for an hour) was that three different people told me it looked like I was losing weight. Yep. The StairMaster works wonders. I really need a drink. I really need this long weekend to come NOW.

We were never even together, but I think that’s precisely the reason I’ll always be in love with you.

Ending the day on a horrible note. =(

Silver lining: “You’re beautiful, by the way.”

Today was my first day of work without Timothy there. It was sad… The meeting with Yogesh was awkward and I didn’t like how he kept insisting that it was Timothy that wanted to leave. He made it seem like it was his choice. It wasn’t. He didn’t want to leave before securing a new job. Sure, he hadn’t been happy there for a while, but I know he wasn’t ready to leave yet.

Today wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be though. Aside from when I almost cried again while telling Grethel what happened, I was well composed throughout the day.

It still feels surreal, though. And I hate having to walk past his empty desk. I hope, when they start seeing all the issues QC has, they’ll realize they made a mistake in letting him go so soon.

Timothy was fired today. I’m so incredibly sad. I’m sad that I didn’t get to say goodbye (even though I’m certain this wouldn’t have been my last chance). I’m sad that he won’t be working there anymore. I can’t imagine anyone else as my manager. But most of all, I’m sad because not only was he my manager, he’s my friend and the situation sucks. I’m not even supposed to know. No one is. But Michelle was still at work when it happened, put two and two together and got confirmation when Vicky called her later in the evening. I cried when Michelle told me. Then I cried again when I retold the story to Quyen. I’m going to hate going into work on Monday. I don’t even know how I’m supposed to face my coworkers, especially Bibu early in the morning and pretend like everything’s okay, like it’s just another Monday. *Sigh*

So much for taking the weekend off…

I didn’t go to the gym today. Even though I was ridiculously tempted to. Instead, the BFF and I went to Manhattan Beach and ran along the shore. We did three laps. It was much harder than expected (even though I knew it would be difficult), but it was a lot of fun and today’s weather was perfect for an outdoor workout. We also ran up and down a set of stairs for a bit. LOL. One day off, and I miss my StairMaster. I had to find a way to at least kind of sneak it in. All in all, it was a fun workout and I’m so proud of Melu for how much her physical fitness has improved in the recent months.

Running along Manhattan Beach? That’s one thing we can cross off our ‘Do before 2013’ list. =)

After getting home, I ended up running to and through DeForest park for about an hour and a half because I felt like the beach workout wasn’t enough. I haven’t done that since just before I joined 24. But that was certainly a good workout too. If only I knew how many miles I had done. It probably wasn’t as much as I would assume. Now my shins kind of hurt and I’m itching to get back on a StairMaster. That’ll have to wait for Monday though.

Tomorrow, I’m going on my LAF date. Hiking, eating, singing, and potentially drinking. =D

Many people have a disease… That they don’t even know their infected with. It’s called tomorrow.
(Why wait til tomorrow when you can do something TODAY?)
