Friday, January 28, 2011 ( 5:20 PM ) shut up christine yesterday i decided that i WILL do the la marathon with raju. it's in 51 days and the last time i ran regularly was around...May of last year eek! your problem is that you're impulsive! you want to reap all the benefits (health, more energy, endorphins) of running regularly. right now, while sitting on your butt. you *think* you could run a marathon today, don't you. how smug. you forget, dumbass, that you need to put in work you actually have to get up and move your feet at some point this applies to practically everything in my life por ejemplo, i want to be a good nurse, now. i forget that in order to get there, i should study i read an article that said the secret is to focus your goals on How to Be, vs What You Want my goal then, is NOT to run the la marathon, but to run 15 miles a week. that's five 3-milers or three 5-milers each week. and 2 disease pathos/ 2 case studies each day. totally doable! here we go ps free admission to LA museums all weekend! # Wednesday, January 26, 2011 ( 2:32 PM ) shut up christine what in the world?!?! i don't know what this show is about but it's CRAZY and i like it. filipinos are awesome. # Saturday, January 22, 2011 ( 11:44 PM ) shut up christine this makes me :) # Friday, January 21, 2011 ( 11:04 PM ) shut up christine how i know today m and i had a big fight, which consisted of being pissed off and not talking to the other person we still held hands even though we were mad at each other. that's a pretty tough thing to do, and it's another reason why i know we'll make it so we are walking at santa monica beach, hand in hand, upset, and not talking to each other. i find a broken piece of yellow chalk under a park bench and i say out loud (to myself, obviously, because i'm not talking to him) what should i write with this? we keep walking for some time as we're about to ascend a staircase i bend down and i write on two of the steps
i'm
sorry
and we keep writing messages in yellow chalk all over santa monica that's how i know # Thursday, January 20, 2011 ( 10:33 AM ) shut up christine wow! i had a cold. i have also been meditating daily and i am so impressed with the human body sitting quietly, i notice the healing properties of food ie i've been drinking bowls of veggie broth, which warms me up and opens my nasal passages. i consciously put healthy foods into my body to nourish and strengthen it, and the body miraculously responds with health, very quickly and when i allow my self to rest, it has the energy it needs to fight off sickness. it's amazing what the body is capable of doing when you treat it well # Tuesday, January 18, 2011 ( 10:07 AM ) shut up christine choose alternatives to single use plastics # Monday, January 17, 2011 ( 11:18 PM ) shut up christine insight Forget your perfect offering, there’s a crack in everything, that is how the light gets in.

- Leonard Cohen ( 8:07 PM ) shut up christine this next list is composed of only one item: makoto miyagishima when one is "in love," several chemical processes occur such as the release of dopamine, adrenaline, serotonin, vasopressin.... through some fortunate, inexplicable, freakish, miraculous act of nature the zillions of atoms that arrange together to form makoto miyagishima trigger a strong chemical response in christine b so that, like the thousands of generations of ancestors before her, she has found an acceptable mate with whom she may create progeny however (tangent: he and i use the word 'however' at least ten times a day) in spite of the science of love that ensures the endurance of humanity, we defy survival! with love that is selfless and compassionate and serves no evolutionary purpose. i can't know for sure but i have a feeling that when my synapses have long stopped firing, when my chemoreceptors no longer transduce action potentials i will still love you.  Saturday, January 15, 2011 ( 3:29 PM ) shut up christine i'm in a bit of a funk not a despair kind of funk i would say its more of a general malaise i find that lists help me get through the day cut fingernails work on taxes for one hour email so-and-so. for the next few days i want to make lists of things that bring me joy because today is such a pretty day today my theme will be my favorite foods   - herb popcorn at Whole Foods, made by Whole Foods. in the chip section. 99 cents for a big bag. i wish more people knew about this. now you know  the rest of my list comes from Trader Joes. if you don't live by a Trader Joes, sucks to be you. just kidding. but it kind of sucks, a little :( - cilantro jalapeno hummus (fridge case, hummus section). i like them with Trader Joes veggie and flax tortilla chips - french onion soup (frozen section, comes in a box of two). i could eat this every day. they use veggie broth as the base, so its vegetarian friendly - dark chocolate peanut butter cups. these are so good they ruined my life # Saturday, January 08, 2011 ( 6:07 AM ) shut up christine
there are people who love shining in the spotlight and there are people who are stagehands. m and i are stagehands. i've been watching Say Yes to the Dress and reading wedding blogs i'm not engaged. pero he and i have talked about marriage and that's almost like getting engaged, yeah? i know i'm going to marry him. (i'm like 99% sure) and if it happens, it aint gonna happen anytime soon. no rush but i've already picked out the menu (eggplant soft tofu hotpot with basil) and i want to get married in a tree. in it. like, sitting on a branch. and it will probably be a very small wedding. maybe just us two. eating our hotpot in a tree # Friday, January 07, 2011 ( 10:50 PM ) shut up christine california.      Thursday, January 06, 2011 ( 2:53 AM ) shut up christine 2011 challenge yeahh this year i - will try not to take a single plastic shopping bag. not just at grocery stores but at every store, like restaurants or the mall. sidenote-- the other day m ordered takeout at his neighborhood indian restaurant and he asked them to put it in a tupperware that he brought from home, which they kindly did. this is another reason why i am marrying him :) - will continue being veggie. becoming vegetarian was the best thing i ever did for my large intestines. remember when i didn't poop for twenty days? or when i got three plungers for christmas? gone! gone are those days. although i haven't eaten Anything With A Face in over a year, i sometimes crave a spicy salmon roll, or chicken adobo. omg i miss chicken adobo so much :'( - will create an independent study curriculum for myself and push myself to study as if i were still in an intensive program (my heart broke a tiny bit, just now.) persist. - do good. or try to, at least. i think it's time to drop... # Tuesday, January 04, 2011 ( 12:50 PM ) shut up christine BAGGAGE - As you move higher you have to drop more luggage. When Edmund Hillary reached the peak of Everest he had no luggage at all. When he started, there had been so many things and equipment. But by and by, at each camp something had to be dropped because it was becoming impossible. Just to carry himself was enough. On the highest peaks, one has to be weightless. - OSHO, The ABC of Enlightenment everrry time i watch Hoarders, i will go to my room, pack a box of stuff, & drop it off at Goodwill. most of my drawers are empty now but even so, i could easily fill up more boxes if i wanted to. it is amazing what humans are capable of accumulating anywho on christmas day, my father and i had a chat if my sister was there, she would've said don't go there....... we went there. wasn't pretty at first mi padre was like rarrrr rarrr why are you only speaking up now after a bajillion years (not exact words) and i'm like homeboy this is exactly why i never said anything huff puff tears hugs and then it was good like breakthrough life-changing good. we should've had this conversation back in 1990 but 20 years late is better than never my drawers might be empty but i'm a hoarder i remember everything. i have mountains of ish piled inside my memory when i was studying jungle magic in belize, there was a raspy-voiced girl in our group she lost her voice later in her adulthood and she thought it was because she needed to tell someone something, but never did at the time i looked at her like she was cuckoo she probably got sick. maybe her vocal chords never healed. there had to be some kind of medical explanation remember - here i was studying jungle magic and yet her theory was too incredulous for me to believe my new year's resolution is to stop hoarding internally. express it if i need to (usually i need to) then let it go i'm also going to switch from soy milk to almond milk. happy new year to you and your loved ones # |
