Sunset evokes a lot of different meanings to different folks. It may signify an end, finality, closure, sadness.
I actually like sunsets, it's the time of the day that I can finally slow down and take a deep, long breath after an extremely busy and stressful day.
Just like a rainbow after a rain, sunrise follows after a sunset, it's the start of a new day, it's a new beginning.
***edited to include another sunset shot :) .

when it wouldn't budge
Ok, so i'm at the point wherein my weight wouldn't budge =( . From Feb to March, i lost 12 lbs with diet alone. For the record, I was 138lbs then before deciding to go on a diet. I then introduced exercising to my body after the 'go' signal from my OB early April. However, after almost 3 weeks, i noticed that my weight wouldn't budge. Well, it did see-sawed between 126lbs - 128lbs, but, that's it! It wouldn't go down lower than 126lbs =(. Although, a lot of people noticed that I did look thinner and leaner these days. It's probably just the effect of doing some weight lifting for leaner muscles which I really like by the way =). I read somewhere that if you do some weight lifting, you'll look thinner and taller because your muscles are leaner.
Well, after discussing this with my PT last night, we did conclude that my weight have gone on a plateau. She did gave me positive feedbacks though and offered to give me a body fat analysis again using a skin test caliper by the end of this month. I just hope it's good news before this month ends!
Anyway, I want to share my readings about this topic this morning. I hope you'll find the information useful =).

no goodbyes... yet..
It's been awhile since i posted updates in this blog. Anyways, for starters, I started office work on schedule as I mentioned in my previous post. Truthfully, going back to work has been uneventful. No life turning events, no heart thumping corporate news, nothing. =) my boss has been kind enough to PERMANENTLY give my work to colleagues. Yes, you read it right. =) It's inevitable, it's bound to happen sooner or later. i'm cool with it. it simply means, no working my butt off 7am-4pm during weekdays. Don't get me wrong, i still love working. This global financial crisis just crept it's way at the BIG BLUE resulting to local operations being shutdown PERMANENTLY. I still consider myself blessed as we were given notice about it a year ago. Right now, i still got 5 mos to go before i say good bye to the company i've been with for the past 6+yrs. What will i do with the 5 mos? Well, i'll do back-up stuff in case my colleagues are unavailable, on leave and wat-have-yous. I'm ok with that, it will help make my mind work. Same time, i'll take advantage of the numerous trainings the company, TESDA and DBM will be offering. I took a peek at the various offerings and it was really nice (entrepreneurship, financial mgmt, photography 101, many more!)! Oh, btw, did i mention all of these trainings are FREE??? All paid for by the BIG BLUE. =) that's why i'm still lucky. =)

eheads.. the final set
i'm currently watching the tv version of the latest Eraserheads concert 2 mos ago at MOA. If you asked me whether I was able to watch it, well... NO! i was supposed to be pregnant during that time. oh well...
Anyways, oh MAN! it brought back great memories during my sophomore year in high school at St. Paul. You see, once upon a time, THE Eraserheads was invited to have a gig. I still can remember how close I was sitted to the band during that time. I must have been like less than 10 meters away from them. To those who are familiar with St Paul Pque's gym, you know what I mean ;) To others, it's not exactly your average kind of gym, it is small actually. Ewan ko lang ngayon kung kaya pa ganun kalapit from the band =). So, back to my kwento... before the gig even started, we were screaming our heads off na while they were doing set-ups on the stage and fine tuning their instruments. I think during that time they were still starting out and just released their first album pa lang. I still have a copy of their first album in casette tape! hehehe! I even started learning how to play the guitar para I can play their songs! =) Again, back to my story... a couple of boys from St. Andrew's (a then, all boy's school across the street), were getting rowdy, doing piggy-backs pa tapos opening up their lighters. We were sooo uncontrollable eh during that time pa, our school directress was very strict! As in, verrryyyy strict! So, what she did was, she went up the stage and just stand there. After awhile, she took the mic and scolded everyone of us. She even threatened to cancel the whole gig if we don't behave. The whole crowd was stunned! So, what happened after that??? Since we were just little girls and boys back then, we toned down and afterawhile, the whole gym literally fell silent. The only remaining sound was from Ely's guitar. You see, he was tuning his guitar while we were being scolded. =) Our School Directress was probably really mad at us, she told Ely, "STOP THAT!", in a very stern and irritated voice. HAHAHAHA!! =) At eto pa, Ely did stop and just stood their looking at us! Teehee!! =) I felt so amused and embarrassed at the same time.

Now, if you want to ask if the gig continued? Fortunately, YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was really great! We were singing along with them and memorize ko pa talaga lahat ng songs nila. =)
The E-heads has really come a long way. From being a "one-of-those bands" to a "now legendary Filipino band of all-time". I am happy that I was a part of it, at least, somehow... =)
