Ate some red meat. Don't normally eat that much. Especially not a fatty, charcoal-y steak.

Have felt like puking for... five hours. Yuck. Tea not helping like it normally does.

I just came home from a two hour facial. Ahhh....

Proof that Windows is a piece of crap

Sun, 15 Jul 2007 00:41:23 GMT

I had just cleaned my desktop and windows computer. It was annoying to do, but finally I was only left with "My Computer," "Recycle Bin," and "Nightlife" on my desktop. What is "Nightlife?" It's the Sims 2 Nightlife expansion pack (which is crappy save for the cars), but since stupid Alcohol 52% needs it exactly where it is to run, I can't move it. I'm sure I could reconfigure everything, but I cannot be bothered.

My main point is that when I installed the new AIM program, it VOMITED out five more icons onto my beautifully empty desktop. Oh my god. Yes, I'm aware they are meant for deleting. But is that necessary? FIVE?

Laziness

Wed, 11 Jul 2007 09:31:07 GMT

For my new work out plan, I'm doing a four split program which means I focus on something different everyday. Uh... today is my cardio day. I am so tired. I do not want to do it. And you know what's sad? A main reason is because I'm seeing "Harry Potter" at 3ish. I just don't want to be asleep for it. Not that I'm keen to catch every riveting moment, but I just don't want to travel and have it all be a waste.

I woke up with a bloody nose today. Lame. I'm proud to say though that yesterday I ate surprisingly healthy and low-fat! Save for the mountain of peanut butter I put on my apple slices and the blue corn chips I had in the morning... but sincerely, other than those two things, I was very good.

Now I can't talk anymore

Sun, 01 Jul 2007 18:38:13 GMT

I literally have a small suitcase full of Batman comics now. I am... troubled.

Infernal Affairs, the movie that the Departed was adapted from? My father is friends with one of the two script writers. Ugh.

Walking around so much in Hong Kong has really made me lose weight. Unfortunately, I think I regained all that weight lost tonight when I had Peking duck. It wasn't even good Peking duck. It was basically fat strips. But the reason I kept eating was because I was the one who ordered/wanted Peking duck, and because I've been conditioned by my mother to finish all the food and not to waste things, despite the detrimental effects on my body. Plus, at the fireworks show (which commemorated the 10th anniversary of the Hong Kong handover from Britain to China), which was really cool and beautiful, I ate a million Cajun spice French fries, plus I drank my bellini a little too quickly, and so now I am awake and nauseous.

You know what kills me? Toronto doesn't sell Vitamin Water, yet Hong Kong does. Ugh. My mini fridge is full of vitamin water right now. I've noticed, lately all my LJ friends are making cute little picture posts. I am much too lazy for that.

You both assume that she'll be late

Thu, 14 Jun 2007 09:15:24 GMT

In Hong Kong still. Tried to watch the Veronica Mars finale while Isaac, my younger cousin, attacked his mini guitar and screamed "Country Road." It sounds cute. But it is not because the instant we finished the show he was finished as well.

I really do like Mandy Moore. I think she's very pretty, and I love that she's not all boobless and anorexic like everyone is now. I swear, all the boobless people just got really angry and decided to change things. Oh well. P.S. Jessica Alba, who claims to be curvy, is not. She just has boobs. She is pretty (a little unremarkable as of late) but she is not curvy. Anyways, despite Adam's eyerolling, I like Mandy's new album. She collaborated with Rachael Yamagata and a bunch of other nice people. Her first video was a little boring though. Interesting, but there was nothing else to sort of ease the burden of seeing the camera zooming up the giant Mandy pyramid. Plus, the first single, "Extraordinary" is my least favorite song on the album. By far. Hopefully she'll be allowed to release a second song.

Even though I can't think of anywhere else to live in, other than Toronto, I vomit at the idea of living there. I guess everywhere is filled with ignorant assholes, but the thing about Toronto, is that I KNOW there are assholes there. I guess that's why I have a reputation of keeping people out unless I decide otherwise. And the thing about Toronto is that they just think about their clean little parks, and their little schools, and the "cultural" downtown. But they completely disregard so many other parts of it, like the east and west ends, which are full of problems, but that's not their Toronto. I know every place has their problems, but I cannot accept Toronto because my life can't be confined to 5 subway stops. Maybe because I just can't function in any place other than my own little world. I know a lot of people would disagree with me, about my thoughts, and I've given up explaining things a long time ago. People don't understand why I'm late, why I can be so cold one minute and so forgiving the next, why I smile easily at them when I'm thinking about my problems. I laugh and tease a lot of people, and act sarcastic with them, or very distant, and I don't write thoughtful livejournal entries, and so... then... who knows me? More songs know me than people.

If only I had the will

Tue, 22 May 2007 02:53:45 GMT

So since I'm always eating Hong Kong... always eating pork and deep fried things and carbs carbs carbs, I have decided to start writing down what I'm eating again. Prepared to be appalled. I decided to start writing today because so far, it's a good start. I guess I'm gonna be in a world of pain when I go back home. Except I probably won't and I'll be so accustomed to eating all the time that I'll eat all the time at home and not walk anymore and get even grosser. At least here I'm walking daily.

I've started playing Inselkampf, even though I previously shunned Adam for playing it. I got envious of the big community so I caved, dammit.

Food entry:
1. One bowl of dragon fruit (cubed) with strawberries (quartered)
2. A few toffee cashew cookies
    that are delicious and super thin and caramel-y and omg
3. One 250mL tetrapak of taro flavored Vitasoy
4. Eight chocolate crush Pocky sticks
5. Sushi bar lunch
    -salmon, yellowtail, and tuna sashimi
    -one shrimp tempura piece with this delicious light japanese mayonnaise dressing
    -deep fried squid pieces [uh, about a million of them] with the same dressing
    -sea eel with rice
    -one warship style sweet shrimp sushi
    -half a piece of deep fried salmon skin
    -green tea
6. Northern Chinese dinner
    -peking duck in wrappers, deep fried sweet and sour fish, vegetarian noodles, shrimp, etc...

Insert Star Wars doom theme

Tue, 15 May 2007 11:29:43 GMT

With this new camera, I am officially unstoppable. I got it in black of course, it's a gift from my father for my birthday. Since my other camera can't be used due to a lost battery charger...

This camera came with a screen protector and some other random freebies... as well as Neutrogena Face Scrub for Men? I won't complain though. I am super excited. It's got a very classic look and a case! My old camera was definitely beat up like mad.

I am breaking out

Thu, 10 May 2007 17:20:08 GMT

I finally used by livejournal rename token.

__maybebaby is now officially bearseatbeets.

What's with my short entries lately anyways? I apologize. I'm packing and leaving soon for Hong Kong. TWO MONTHS. That's like a whole summer. I'm still unpacking all my crap from residence, I haven't even begun to pack yet. Brutality.

Packing 1, Ingrid 0. Flawless victory for packing.

Wed, 02 May 2007 06:56:49 GMT

I made a Jim/Pam livejournal layout.

I am bad to the bone

Wed, 02 May 2007 01:44:05 GMT

I ate a piece of KFC just now, leftovers. Ugh.

[edit: i did 30 minutes on the elliptical machine to make up for it. it so did not make up for it.]

No impending doom can move me

Sun, 29 Apr 2007 23:18:49 GMT

So, I have four exams to cover, not much time in between to study. I never paid attention in class so I don't have knowledge to wing things on, and yet I keep watching the Office and screwing around online. Huh. I intrigue myself.

As for the food entries, I forget what I ate recently. But I've been progressing rather well with the no bad foods, that is until my mother made me jump over an offer of McDonald's, then New York Fries, and eventually some KFC with an ice cold beer... So I cracked, but alas. No beer, it turned out, we accidentally drove past the Beer Store, and I felt sick after the KFC. Then the next night I had some Lay's Salt and Vinegar chips. Yikes. I am currently starving.

Thu, 26 Apr 2007 19:23:03 GMT

So, it is through this list of food that one discovers one's "strict diet" is not going as planned. Nor is one's exercise regime going as planned. But how can someone diet with exams coming? That's the one benefit if I had stayed at home instead of residence: a gym. But I want to enjoy freedom while it lasts.

N'way

Mon, 09 Apr 2007 06:33:19 GMT

So... I was almost disastrously locked out of my room today. Apparently it's because I had paper carrier bags hanging from the inside but that -totally- wasn't a problem before. Anyways, we spent like five minutes swiping my stupid card, then tried taping it with scotch tape cause that works on credit cards etc... Let me say, it was a bitch getting that scotch tape off. Then my don tried his master key, didn't work, called up the porter, her master key didn't work either and the PHYSICAL key didn't work either.

I seriously thought that I was going to have to sleep in the common room. But then my don came back and figured out a special way to open it. He wouldn't tell me what it was, I assume it was stupid and embarrassing. But he was really nice about it, so was the porter. And so after dragging my res phone across the room trying to test to see if the lock was fixed, it was great success!

Today's food entry:

1. One glass Allen's Apple Juice (Two thimbles according to Adam)
2. Two slices of smoked ham with blueberry sauce
3. Three mini bagels with whipped cream cheese and smoked salmon
4. Pieces of pineapple
5. Some (like one or three of each) buttoncap mushrooms and green beans
6. Two coconut soy milk tetrapaks
7. Home made leek, carrot, potato soup
8. One coffee with one teaspoon sugar and a splash of cream
9. Candy, go figure

I don't think it's necessary to mention but I'll state it anyways for future reference: I did not work out today. Big surprise.

Sugar sugar

Sun, 08 Apr 2007 01:33:29 GMT

I was totally planning on writing a big rant about the shitty amateur restaurant I went to tonight. But now I have eaten candy and am already having a sugar crash so... I'll just say that they couldn't make things on the menu because it was "too difficult."

Today's food entry:

1. One bowl of oatmeal (Anne, haha for you.)
2. Half a small bagel with whipped cream cheese and smoked salmon
3. Candy
4. A Northern Chinese dinner with two bowls of white rice
5. Two brownies
6. One cup linden flower/green tea
7. Half a cup of water

I really do suck with the liquids. I can't help it. Why did Adam give me so much candy? This is bad for me. It's not shitty candy either like Laura Secord Fruit Jewel things, it's Sweet Tarts and Laffy Taffy and Nerds and a Chocolate Orange. I whacked it but haven't eaten yet. I just kind of want to keep hitting it against the wall.

Again, I didn't work out. I figure I have two important essays due, no time. But I suck. I think I'll be saying I suck for the next three weeks everyday.

Wow, summer's so close and yet so far

Sat, 07 Apr 2007 02:03:01 GMT

I suck. Today I didn't work out and I ate junk. Kill me now.

Today's food entry:

1. One bowl of Grain Shoppe cereal with 2% milk
2. One coconut soy milk tetrapack
3. A few Jones' Soda Green Apple Carbonated Candies
4. One McDonald's Big Mac meal with a diet coke. I was pissed, poor and hungry at the time. I should have been stronger!
5. One dried apricot
6. Chicken, broccoli, tofu, pork/spinach broth soup, and white fish

I hate people. I wish I could go to a really nice spa.
