i knew all that eating in taiwan would do me no good at all, sigh. frankly, while i was there i ate like a chin. 3 full meals a day, sometimes 4 and there were all the little snacks interspersed in between mealtimes. and coupled with the fact that taiwan seems to have no gyms at all, i guess it's no surprise i gained weight. i'm usually not overly concerned about my weight as long as i don't grow too fat, but i think i really do need to eat less and exercise more. so please, if you are my friend, don't ask me out for lunch/dinner dates and if i'm with you and i want to eat, please dissuade me from doing so. i don't mind running/skating/tennis dates. i will go back to 45kg within a month. haha. lofty ambitions.
okay, bimbo paragraph about my concerns over my weight aside, i have finally registered at bunka for the japanese courses. it costs a hefty $267.50 for 12 lessons okay, and i couldn't help but feel bad when my mum started writing the cheque, because we have been spending so so much lately. what with the taiwan trip that set us back at least $10k, and then my uncle's and my aunt's operation and hospital stay, (i don't know why but they seem to all need operations at the same time, and there are 2 more coming up for my other aunt and then my mum next year) and then my sister's pending trip overseas for a half-year long attachment. and there was the whole stock market dying thing in which my dad lost like $90k (don't ask me how he lost all that money, i'm not sure how either).
i'm going to study so hard for the course, i'll be a total geek.
since when did i start typing messages i never send?i finally watched byousoku 5 centimeters today, and the male protagonist said that in the show. i was taken aback for a moment, because we totally shared the same habit. haha sometimes i too start typing out smses to nobody in particular, if i feel like i need to talk to someone but i have no one to talk to. it's a peculiar habit, i know, but it helps sometimes.
alright, i'm off to eastpoint to meet my sister and get something for dalphie for his skin infection. the poor dog is beginning to go bald in patches, and i don't know if it's because of the infection or because he's getting so old. lately when i look at him sleeping i always stare for the longest time at his stomach to see if it's still rising regularly with his breathing, because i'm afraid something horrible will happen to him because he's already so old and so sick too. sigh. okay off to look for what can help. and maybe i'll get him some treats too.
