i finally did it.  i finally got my ass to the gym yesterday and started a workout regime.  it kicked my ass, parkin kicked my ass.  since i dont' actually have a gym membership, i snuck in.  hehe, so i will continue working out until they find out i'm not a member.  :P  we met up with park and his friend rosa there and started with 12 minutes on the elipticycle.  i learned that i actually dont' mind doing weights, but it's the cardio that i HATE.  but it's the cardio that i need to do in order to lose some fat.  *darnit*  and what's going on with my flab?  while i was working on my triceps, skin was just waving around!  yuck!  gross!  i'm so embarassed about my arms.  *bleh*  parkin showed me no mercy tho, and pushed me until my muscles burned, and i'm hurting today.  then after the weights, we did another half hour of cardio.  last night i had a horrible night of sleep because my muscles were all tense and i look like an idiot trying to brush my hair, leaning my head forward because my arms don't bend back.  i can't even eat my cereal!  ha.  even my toes are sore.  :D

parkin got the new red hot chili peppers cd this weekend.  it kicks ass.  DOSED and ZEPHYER are my favorite songs right now and i play them over and over again in my car.  the cd's only $12.50 at costco, if you wanna check it out.  good deal, great cd. 
just saying.

weekend update:  this past weekend went by too quickly.  parkin and i spent the weekend cooking, relaxing, and watching a bunch of movies.  i made a lasagna on friday night and it was yummy!  instead of beef, i sauteed some ground turkey with onions, garlic, tomatoes and spinach with the sauce.  i didn't use ricotta cheese tho, i dont' really like ricotta, so i just stuck with mozzarella.  mmmm....  saturday parkin and i went to watch sweet home alabama and the tuxedo at the century theater in daly city.  afterwards we ran some errands and picked up some groceries.  parkin made some beef tri-tips and i made a creamy chedder and asparagus soup.  mmm...  then on sunday after watching 'shaolin soccer and fat choy spirit' both pretty good chinese flicks, we made corned beef and green beans.  yum!  we ate good this weekend and had fun cooking... unfortunately we were really clumsy and many pots boiled over.  :/  parkin spent a good amount of time after dinners cleaning the stove. 

i talked to my ex best friend the other day and realized how different we both have become.  it saddened me.  i decided to call her while i was in line the other day for red dragon since i had the time (and minutes on my phone), and just listening to her talk irked me.  she had this standoffish attitude and semi superiorness to her voice.  i can't explain it, but after the conversation, i'm glad that i didn't ask her to be a bridesmaid and i'm actually glad that things between us changed.  it's not like she has the time for me or she puts any effort into the friendship.  i know i must sound pretty petty right now, but i feel like this person she's become isn't that best friend i knew in the past.  that girl has morphed into this woman that i don't know.  that's what saddened me because i didn't see this progression.  it appeared to me so suddenly and i was oblivious of the change.  she use to make me feel good about myself, but talking to her the other day made me feel like shit.  i didn't like that feeling.  i don't remember the last time she actually called me to say hi, to see how i was doing.  it's always been me, calling her, just wanting to say hi and even then, i felt like i was in the way, interrupting her thoughts, her rituals, that she had better things to do than talk to me on the phone.  well no more.  i'm tired of it.  i'm tired of how she makes me feel.  it's not worth it.  i'm just tired of putting so much time and effort into a friendship that is not being reciprocated.  friendships shouldn't be this difficult.

cindy just called me. 
peggy is coming to town, actually she should be in san jose right now, and cindy is rounding up some friends to get together for lunch with peg and ashlyn this week.  yay!  i haven't seen peg, ashlyn, even cindy for some time now.  i think i'll take an extra long lunch on thursday.  hehe
