CHARITY

It's Friday. And I woke up early to be in the gym (not really, A went to work and A woke me up). So I went to the gym and I did my back, my abs and my arms. I usually spend 30 minutes trying to kill myself with the crosstrainer, but as my arms and back are still sore coz I was also there yesterday afternoon (and my anatomy is not used to the gym yet as I've been off it for nearly 5 weeks), I just stayed there and tried to kill myself for just about an hour today.



The gym is getting boring nowadays. No longer exciting as before (remember when I used to nose about the conversations of others?, or when I saw people getting fotos of themselves right at the middle of everything). Now, all I see are old hairy gorillas. F*cking Boring.



Anyway, this week we've watched the DVDs of Feast of Love, Buried Alive, and hopefully Cloverfield later. That film of Jackie Chan and Jet Li, and Mama Mia are shown in the cinemas this week. But aint really interested with those. I might just wait for their DVDs. As you've read in my last year's post... I prefer to watch Horror/Slasher movies, or anything Sci Fi, or anything with a lot of special FX in it... so not unless Meryl Streep is being chased by a slasher/killer and that's why she's singing Mama Mia then I might just watch that.



Also went to Bullring Mall yesterday,





I checked FCUK and got myself a bargain. I bought a a jacket for £38.00, slashed from £90. Not bad. Also as Im beginning to miss American foods, so I went to Selfridges to buy something american to bake.



One thing low about FCUK. There was this person who looked like a boy with a long hair (oh, he's a boy with a long hair), who's been helpful. He helped me looked for my style and size (he couldn't find the size Small 1/2 though, so I settled with medium). But when I paid for that item, I couldn't help but noticed that he has crooked and misalign teeth. If FCUK hired someone obviously imperfect, then I still have a chance! Although look at Abercrombie's models here.

I had a mail from one charity yesterday. I dont mind charities, they're actually good. They have a good cause and they usually help the needy. But this charity has an accompanying letter that stated they want me to give them £25.00 before Sept __, 2008. WHAT???!!!Charity is benevolent giving. I didn't know you could force others to do it and give them timetable for it.

This year has been very expensive for me. With the amount I paid for my UK Residency, US trip, NCLEX, I also had just paid $180 for my TOEFL exam, plus the condominium we pay monthly in Manila (I'm glad we took that condo though... the prices of houses in UK are plunging down, so that Condo is a good investment coz in Manila all prices are going up)... I might just sell my other kidney to sustain this. lol. Perhaps any of you who has an inheritance to spare and want to share it with me? Please forward it to me NOW; or add me in your last wills.

I am my own charity.

2012? Really? Hmmm... Well, at least I'll die young (and beautiful) Wahaha. Joke.

Anyway, I've seen A&F store guys who aren't that good looking. Kahit sa babae, basta maganda siguro katawan mo oks na. Hehehe.

Nice jacket though. I got one from A&F for USD20 lang din. ^^,

Can't wait for the time when I can wear it. Makapal at mabigat kasi. Hehe.

nasa UK ka ba o sa US na? Pasensya na kuya, hindi na ko masyado nakakavisit. Anyway, ang weird naman ng charity na yun. Parang ransom yung hinihingi kasi may deadline.


Kung ikaw may sariling charity, ako may sariling foundation. :D

@ RED: haha.. dont be mean to yourself.. im sure mapuslan pa na... lol.
anw, i wonder who it is u'r stalking at the mo...


@ yarnhoj: nah, why say sorry? take it back... being busy isn't a sin. I had difficulty accessing your site... It's always "not available" or "pop out not allowed" for some reasons... But i think you started a new site?

@ mak2: i love A/F, but they dont have black coloured shirts (which I love as well), so I cant be exclusive. There's only one A/F store in this country, and it's in London.. One shirt costs £25. Which Im sure is double than it's U.S' cousins.

@ camille: I have no excuse.. I pay £32/month so I have to go... parang exciting dyan sa gym nyo ah... may lovestory kang naaabangan. lol.
