My Clever Title

June 18, 2012 by Mellie Dee 5 Comments

No clever title … how do people come up with titles? I certainly cannot.

Workout

35 min cardio
Arm: 5 lb. weight; 3 sets of 12
     – Tricep Extensions
     – Slow Burn Bicep Curls
     – Pushups
     – Shoulder Presses
Ab: 3 sets
     – Plank – 40 sec hold
     – Toe Touches – 6 right; 6 left
     – Crunches – 15 right; 15 left, 15 center
Leg: 3 sets
     – Forward Lunges – 12 right; 12 left
     – Squats – 12
     – Wall Sits – 35 sec hold

Jogged the 35 minutes. The leg workout was for some reason, the hardest thing for me today. I guess taking a day off on Saturday really messed things up. I think other than just “breaking a sweat” I’ll do some kind of exercise instead.

Cleaning

I’ve been folding clothes. I put ALL my clothes to wash because I wanted my closet to start out clean. Many loads later, my closet is starting to look fresh!

I cannot wait to show y’all what my room looks like after everything is done. I probably won’t be done until the end of August …

Cravings

Have you ever craved bread? For some reason I really want some sandwiches … which never happens. I’m not a fan of bread at all.

Grilled Sandwiches even sound good. And I don’t even like cheese.

What is going on?!

I hope this is just a phase because with Paleo, eating those two things are a no-no!

But if I still crave it later on, I will take a bite. No sense in bingeing later because of cravings!

Happy Birthday Dad (x3)!

My Dad had three birthdays this year … like me. Sometimes being Chinese is amazing. My grandma tried to explain to me how it works but I’m a just-tell-me-when-it’s-my-birthday type of person.

Today, other than the real Father’s Day, we celebrated my Dad’s third birthday!

We had dinner at:

King Bo Restaurant II
4707 Texas 6
Missouri City, TX
(281) 403-2222
www.kingbosugarland.com

We had 14 people so we ordered the 10 person meal and added 4 dishes to it. They give you a “dessert” at the end. Needless to say, we finished everything we were given. We are fatties.

While their food was delicious. Much better than a LOT of other places, the way they served are food was not that great. Given it was steaming hot, which is very rare when it’s at a Chinese Restaurant, they came out very slow. Each dish came out one at a time and we would finish a dish and wait for the next one. It wasn’t until the very end that the food got served by the full.

That’s how much it costs if you were wondering …

My cousin got this 10 inch Peanut Butter Pie for free from Lawler’s. It was very sweet but if you have a sweet tooth you would love it. My favorite part was the crust. Yum!

Workout

45 min cardio

Did my walk and jogging. Feeling refreshed. Two more weeks before the vaca!

Make It Rain

Like I mentioned, I’ve been cleaning. And today took me by surprise. Given, a good $220, I knew where they were. I am just that great at hiding money. It’s always nice to clean and find surprises like this.

My closet is halfway there! I have SO much clothes that need washing. I will do that once I wake up!

The two pairs of shoes I bought the other day! Sperry’s (my third pair) and ballet flats (only $10!).

We had a big discount so my mum and I went a little crazy.

I bought this show today. Yay! I am very Asian. I must watch my people! Just kidding. But seriously, I love Chinese Soap Operas. They make me happy.

Time to relax and watch a few episodes!

Memory Lane

June 17, 2012 by Mellie Dee 1 Comment

Whoops. I did not know that it was already 1am!

I’ve been so busy all day!

And I’m sad to say I missed my workout. But since Sunday is my rest day, I’ll just make it up then instead. So I actually didn’t miss my workout?

Anyway, we went and ate at Spring Creek Barbeque. It was rainy, rainy. Bleugh. Then came home and relaxed.

Went to Macy’s to buy Alyssa’s Wedding gift. I bought two pair of shoes as well … whoops.

My sissy and I have been talking about sparkly canvas shoes. Found some but they were not cute! And expensive …

Then it was time for dinner time. Since we were celebrating Father’s Day all day, we went to a Le Lai Restaurant. Funky. We went here last year for Father’s Day too. New tradition? ha

Who eats lobster’s head? Don’t tell me I’m the only one!

We came home and had Homemade Pie. My sissy made it. I piped on the words. Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy!

Afterward was cleaning time. By then it was already 10pm but I just had the urge to continue cleaning. My room is starting to look like a room again. Here’s to hoping everything will be done soon!

Just some things I found while cleaning.

Packet of old Basketball stuff … when I use to be a baller. HAHA

Old school projects … when VHS was popular. Can you believe that was only like 7 years ago?

Old love notes. The one on the left is getting married this upcoming year … we are growing up too fast!

And the one on the right is not into girls anymore. Yep.

These are only a few of many love notes I got. Yeah. I brought all the boys to the yard.

Just kidding …

Found a card that my sissy never sent her friend. That made me laugh so loud!

The 1st generation IPod. That I don’t use anymore because it’s all kinds of messed up. Hello ITouch … that is about to be all kinds of messed up as well.

Long expired. But if you trust me, I’ll still try to save your life. Just make sure not to let your family sue me if you die.

I would get little comics from this one guy. I loved them. Some were gruesome though.

Found notes/letters written to me from all the way back from 2000! Old sauce! This was when we were in like fifth grade. Stacks and stacks of notes. Now everything is text. How sad.

Oh you know … when Pokemon was popular!

But yeah. Enough with memory lane. I’ll go back there the rest of the week as I clean. I have SO much stuff I’m donating, recycling, and throwing away.

Big hoarder right hurr!

Forever Alone

Isn’t it sad how I can sit here writing a card to this boy for his birthday and all I can do is get ~~teary eyed~~ teardrops in my eyes because it brings back memories. Good and bad memories.

Pisses me off because it fogs up my eyesight and then I cannot see what I’m writing anymore. Ugh. Stop being a crybaby, Melissa!

I realized that he has made a difference in my life even though we’ve only known each other for a little over half a year. And now because of the distance, I lost my person to lean on. But no matter how much I wish things could be different between us, it won’t ever be because we’re both too shy to speak up. Or at least, that’s what I think it is. That or maybe he’s not a fan of long distance. Who knows.

Anyway, I have his gift ready to go! And when I go visit SA at the end of the month, I’ll stick it in his hands and make a run for it. It’s awkward for me when people open their gifts I give them in front of me.

And it’ll be awkward when they read that card where all I do is praise him. haha

****

We’re celebrating Father’s Day today since my sissy has work Sunday. Update on that later.

Happy Saturday!

Call Me, Maybe?

Mmmm … lunch. My mum thought I bought this because it was “so pretty”. Nope. Homemade oven baked veggies. So good!

Helped my rents cut down the branches off a tree that was starting to be too close to the windows.

Then I went on my run/walk. Funny story. I almost tripped and fell on my face when I looked down to check who was calling me. Not safe.

Me being creepy while running to snap this picture. A son and father working on the car. It’s so cute. They’re not young but it’s still cute.

Today’s workout was just like Monday’s. Only difference was way I did my shoulder presses.

30 minute cardio
Arm: 3 sets of 12 with 5 lb. weight
     – Tricep Extensions
     – Bicep Curls
     – Pushups
     – Shoulder Presses – “T” shape
Ab: 3 sets
     – Plank – 30 sec hold
     – Crunches – 12 center, 12 left, 12 right
Leg: 3 sets
     – Forward Lunges – 12 right, 12 left
