My take on booties and blazers. :) I didn’t feel like busting out my DSLR. HAHA! I just wanted a quick shot.

Forever 21 blazer, I don’t remember where I got my red top, hand me down Filipino skirt from my mom, Target socks and booties from Report. Accessories from the Philippines of course.

Befriending the Treadmill

I surprised myself because I have been using the treadmill a lot lately. For those of you that don’t know me. I hate running. Before, I’d say I hate it with a passion. Now it’s pretty much like, getting to know a person I didn’t like in the beginning ’cause that person was intimidating and now we’re ok. I mean it’s true right? Sometimes, there are people you think are so intimidating or arrogant ’cause of how they carry themselves. But once you get to know them, you’re like “Oh, that person’s pretty awesome. I actually like hanging out with that person.”

I usually use the elliptical at the gym, until I got bored. I wanted a challenge. I have been avoiding the treadmill for quite some time now. But once I tried it. I am slowly liking it.

And because it seems that I am slowly getting serious with the time and distance of my run, I decided it was best to get  better running shoes that won’t hurt my knees or shins. I kind of have a knee problem. I have no idea why, it’s not major, but I claim in Jesus name that it will disappear.

For my birthday, I had asked Nick that I would like anything I can wear to the gym, and that of course included new running shoes. I got these new babies over the weekend and test drove them last night. The one in the photo is different from what I have. Instead of it being all black and silver, I got the ones that are black and sky blue. I’ll take a photo sometime soon. But not now. The shoes are very comfortable and cushiony. Which is exactly what I need for my feet.

Let’s see where this whole running thing goes. For now, I am enjoying it. I’m mixing up my workout that way I can see the results that I want in no time.

How’s your workout going?

I wear what I want and don’t care

Nick and I are sitting here at the bagel place while waiting for our laundry to get done. He’s doing his homework and I’m just on the laptop.

As we were leaving the house to go to the laundromat, Nick started laughing at what I was wearing. He said I looked funny. He said I looked like someone who wants it to be summer so bad.

Subconsciously it’s probably true.

I know I haven’t shared this with you guys but check out the other Christmas gift I got from Nick.

Shirt from Nick

I guess he wants everyone to know that I love him. But don’t they all know that already?

I wore the shirt after my workout today and when I got back to work, my coworker gave me a funny look.  Yeah… I’ll shut up now.

I’m glad I got to use my Nooka Watch today.  It’s waterproof and very light.  So I was able to check the time while I was on the treadmill. Making sure that I did my crazy workout in 30 minutes then back to work.

I still haven’t figured out how to use the timer though. That way I can time my reps during workout.

There are only a few stores that I buy stuff from when I shop online and one of them is Wet Seal.  I buy tops and dresses from Wet Seal and I’m happy that everything that I have bought actually fits me. Just perfect for my petite size. I haven’t had to return anything at all.

I remember my first purchase from Urban Outfitters last year, the dress that I got was not true to the size that was advertised.  So I just gave it to my cousin.

I think it’s great news that Wet Seal is finally doing international shipping.  I think my Manila friends would love this, so go check out the international page for your future purchases.

Drooling over these knee tights from Athleta why do they have to be so expensive?  I just want to look grrrr when I work out.

If I had a photo of what I was wearing today, I would totally put it up. But since I don’t, I would just have to describe what I’m wearing. HAHA!

I feel like I’m Punky Brewster today. I’m wearing my fingerless gloves, lots of bracelets on my left wrist, pink top, a long gray and white scarf, denim/brown leather sneaker boots over my skinny jeans. :)

I love that I can wear whatever I want to work.
