Amiba's journal> it is time to make it happen.

Hey Amiba!! Good for you for getting out and taking that couple hours walk!! Maybe with being a photographer you will keep up your consistency with trying new routes and bring your camera!! It's like two birds with one stone--haha, it's a $500 fine if you purposely kill a Sea Gull here or Crow. With all of their darn Cacking!! LMAO

Slurping and running...haha Constructions Workers, and Honkers, IDK I sometimes flip em the bird. Errnm..not so much anymore usually my attitude gets the best of me...:S But I just don't even look, I totally ignore them, it's like there not even there.

:seeya:

hey girl!
yes I enjoyed it. and I could take my little camera with me, even though I am more of a people photographer, you never know what you find out there.
oh wow 500 for a sea gull is understandable, but a crow? those are very annoying indeed haha I think they should pay us to get all the pigeons in town before they rebel and eat us all.
yeah I don't pay attention to them but sometimes I answer back with something polite like --why thank you! or, good afternoon! it totally throws them out of balance, it is hilarious.



You are rocking girl!!!

thank you! I am trying to literally burn my butt off :coolgleamA: well not all of it but yeah!
 


so.. today I got up at 6 AM.
oh my, classes should be banned at 7, there is nothing more painful. my body was up but my mind was still very much asleep and I basically relied on my instincts to get breakfast and into the bus, safe.

what I do enjoy about getting up this early is the view. the mountains looked amazing today. and I love the smell of fresh grass.

got to my art aesthetics class around 7.20 we had a heated conversation about femininity and how masculinity influences the image of women in art so women become objects. we also talked of the usual beer commercials and billboards showing skinny, boobacious, sexy women which naturally stands in a man's point of view. I don't know, I do get what a problem it is and Mexico is a very macho-oriented country but I do believe things are changing.
we can be whoever we want to be instead of fight all the time. we choose our battles wisely and those sexy beer billboards aren't what bother me the most. it is basically just a simple male fantasy, we have palacio de hierro's billboards (very liverpool like, girly oriented) those are even worse because in their own chauvinistic charm they target women. an example? one billboard says> ''no woman knows what he wants until a designer tells her'' urrgh. really? aren't we tired of the stereotypical dumb girl who can only shop, has 30 pairs of shoes and is constantly worried about the size of her butt?

anyway I came back home had some fruit, did my laundry. it is amazing how much dirty laundry you get when you exercise!

I am just hanging out for a bit because I have to be at the contemporary art museum around 4 to work on an art piece from Anthony Gormley. 4 long hours taking out some small pottery pieces but hey at least I'd be doing something different and I like the museum, I am such a geek.

my final exams are just around the corner and the heat is on! I have to work on my first solo exhibition, create a photo installation, get a bubble-maker piece for sound art ready for another exhibition, and basically not forget my other seven classes. see that's why I don't have a job per se, with 8 different subjects I have my hands more than full. I am excited though because my vacation starts in may 15 and I won't be back in school until August 14, which means I have 3 long beautiful months to work on my social service and on myself, as well.
I don't know if I will be close to my weight goal by august but I do know I will feel better, stand longer exercise routines and hopefully look better, too.

ultimately I just don't want another set of family Christmas photos with a chubby me in them. so that gives me 7 long months to actually arrive to my goal> sustaining my healthy lifestyle. there's no way it would take me longer than that! come on, 30 pounds aren't that much. I am still jealous that some people manage to get them off in like a month or less, but if this is how my body works, so be it. water and muscle loss doesn't impress me.

well I think that is about it for now.
I will be back because I still have to do my exercise routine

xoxo

so I spend 5 hours storaging ceramic pieces.

there are 5000 of those little bastards and they don't seem to go away! if there was an inferno circle of Alighieri that included pottery, this would be it. the hellish circle of them all: pack all the ceramic you will never finish packing.. for all eternity.
picture of them included-- imagine being trapped inside that room for hours, packing. packing. packing.. they keep appearing! --screams-- --runs--

even typing hurts, but at least I know I was doing something to help my teacher and the museum get ready for the next exhibition, one I am working on too, by the way.
also I still managed to get my exercise in a bit of an alternative way, you could log your exercise as ''vigorous art labor'' love that.

food wise it was a slow day.

after my fruit and slice of bread I had tuna and apple salad,
some spinach

and at night half a whole grain sub with cheese a bit of bacon. that is my reward for enduring some really hard couple of days!

I am liking all the hard work though. I can't wait to do some exercise tomorrow even if isn't as intense. am I a masochist or what?

that's it for tonight guys

 
haha omg that is alot of work!! You know what that picture reminds me of, The Little Mermaid when Ariel is swimming through Ersella's cave, and all of the cursed mermen and mermaids have been turned into those wormy like creatures, with those big eyes, looming. :D Did you get extra credits for helping the teacher?
 
actually it counts as a class so no biggie.
haha I didn't remember the little mermaid but now that I think about it..
this was worse, at least Disney is fun :p most of the times

I have to be back again to work on another piece, so yey --fake smile-- haha
 
OMG! that is some serious work, 5000 of those thingamajigs? it's like a sea of them! also reminds me of a movie scene, the scene from i robot where there's a room full of robots like thousands and thousands all just staring....interesting! i hope your not the one who has to box them back up?

i just read abit about the debates in your art classes, really interesting stuff! infact your course in general just sounds so interesting, and you write about it like you enjoy it so thats great! i think waking up everyday knowing you're going to do something you enjoy is priceless.....i guess that's why i'm loosing weight, so that i can start living life to the fullest and start enjoying my days.

i wanted to thank you for the kind words you left in my diary the other day, it meant alot. k, all the best with the upcoming week xoxo
 
haha I know! after a while you get paranoid. I started noticing which figurines looked funny, or had evil eyes etc at first- but after a couple of hours I thought I was just packing up stones until the ends of time- especially with no water or food haha

I love my art classes, learning something new and being able to apply it on actual pieces is very fun. I still worry a bit about what I am going to do next but heck, I am happy doing what I do now.

and it was my pleasure hun! it makes me mad when people mistreat others who are as awesome as you. and even though I know you do this for you- it doesn't hurt to be able to shove it in their faces when you arrive to your weight goal. like: ha ha SUCKERS. I was overweight but you guys are ugly inside and out!
 
Do you have watermarks or whateves they're called, to put on top of your pics so no one can steal them as their own? I don't. If you did, would you be willing to share with an album maybe or here? I am really interested to see other ppl's works. But anyhow if not, it's cool and I understand, I am kind of wanting to share but meeehhhhh.. haha, I think I may go to bed in a bit.<<randomness; this color reminds me of cotton candy.
 

Swine flu: Mexico City becomes 'strange zombie city' as residents hide behind doors
The normally bustling streets of Mexico City were virtually empty yesterday, with millions preferring to stay in their houses rather than risk contagion from the killer swine flu.

that's it. it became real, there's a zombie invasion coming soon, we are doomed.

anyway I don't live in Mexico City but they are taking some preventive measurements in Monterrey, too. I won't have classes until May 6th.. how boring. but I understand it, it is a very dangerous illness and people aren't taking chances.


I am just worried I won't be able to finish everything I have to do before may 11th but I am gonna try anyway

I bought some groceries today so I won't have to go out a lot this week and well, I'll have to exercise only on my bike, too.

I am not really worried I think this can turn into something chaotic though. my parents already called, people are dying. oh well.. I will miss school I am such a geek but it is better to be safe than sorry.

and oh ,I had a regular day/ not really a cheat one.
some whole grain cereal, a sandwich, a bubble tea, bananas.

xoxo!


 
Oh that is scary..I hope you stay safe, as well as your family. I guess it could get chaotic, or ppl could make it chaotic...yikez

and bubble tea...that's that booger tea? Isn't it? Oh I can't for the life of me remember what's called..TAPIOCA!!! BLAH. Was it good? The first time I had that I was like why are they giving me such a large straw, and than I sucked one of those great big black boogery balls up it...Choke.
 
yes it isn't nearly as bad in here and it hasn't reached my family in cozumel, but I am still worried a bit. I am just waiting to see how it goes. gah missing classes isn't fun at least not for this geek.

yes bubble tea is made from tapioca. haha I do like it because the little balls are fun, although it is pure carbs so I asked for a simple, light chai (skim milk, splenda) so it wouldn't be as caloric. I don't have it often but I find it delicious! well the tapioca has to be chewed so I bet that first choky experience wouldn't have been nice!
haha boogery, I like how they feel a bit like jell 0

HAHA oh my god RG, you are hilarious!

I, myself, love that stuff. Since I've moved to Utah, I don't come across it nearly as much. We used to go out for it at least once a week. Haha. The first time I had it, I hated the tapioca balls...but now, I like them.

Haven't drank the stuff in years though!
 
haha isn't it weird the first time but then becomes addictive?
it just became really popular here in Mexico we see a lot of tapioca houses. but I try to stay away a bit especially now because of those great little balls. :p

we should go grab some tapioca tea!
 
oh i adore bubble tea! Hi, amiba, just thought i'd chime in and say i've been lurking but not posting, i figured it was time! Might i add there was no way i would have packed those things up. sorry, just can't justify it! lol Anyway keep up the good work. You're looking good already so its only a matter of time before you become the you you want to be!

that's scary! i hope you, your family, and friends are all safe. hide out inside and stay away from that stuff, if at all possible. although i think it'd be hard to stay inside because i'm sure it's absolutely beautiful, sunny, and warm there. i wanna come to mexico so badly. my family was going to plan a trip there, but i'm glad we didn't for now...this whole flu thing has me freaked out!:eek:
 
yum for bubble tea!


so I went out to deposit the money for my new camera but came back after that- a lot of people are wearing masks and well paranoia is kicking in.

today I feel like going out for another long walk. I know I shouldn't go out a lot but I am not going to a crowded place anyway, instead of jogging in the place like almost everyone in town does, I choose a long street I like. I'll get there when the sun comes down. yay

also I don't think I've lost any weight, I even hid the darn scale. maybe it just shows a bit on the face?
but I do feel great and I just bought this dress- before I never wore dresses because I think I looked huge on em, but I actually like them a lot now.
they are a fresh alternative to jeans and I feel very feminine in them!

today stats:

breakfast
bran flakes cereal (fruit edition) with 1% fat milk and a banana

lunch:
lettuce and spinach salad with zucchini and chicken

snack:
an apple, or nopalitos

Dinner:
slim fast or fruit.

exercise:
2 hours of power walking with jogging intervals
abdominals: 10 reps of 10 (100) fitness ball
arm: 10 reps of 6 (variety- front, back etc with resistance cords)
20 min of yoga

I think that will be it for the day.
not a bad day at all!

i never liked dresses before...i was more of a jean skirt kind of girl, then i realized they make those dresses that are tight around the boobs and more flowy around the waist (can't remember what they're called), which work wonders on fat days! :)

nice pics! you're lookin' good *whistles (cat call, is that what it's called?)* lol
