Of titanium bits, and other stuff.

Ever since I got my braces last Saturday, I’ve been on a hunger strike of sorts. It’s not really a hunger strike if you think about it — it was involuntary — but I’ve been starving. Yes, starving.

It doesn’t help that my siblings have been eating food that I desperately want to eat lately, and all I can manage is a cup of Lucky Me Instant Noodles. Not exactly appetizing, compared to what they’re eating. So now I end up enviously watching them eat the food that was really meant for me — and they’re rubbing it in.

And then there’s the pain part. It doesn’t hurt as much as it did last Saturday night but it’s not exactly comfortable either. I’ve discovered that pain is a psychological thing — when my braces were killing me last Saturday (causing me to wake up in the middle of the night), I kept on telling myself that, hey, it’s not painful. It actually worked — the pain just went away. Amazing, I tell you.

Unfortunately, I can’t say the same thing while eating. Even if I try to not think of the pain, it’s still there. Heh. I guess it isn’t purely a mind-over-matter thing. X_x

Proof? I’m still hungry.

And did I mention that I’m having a hard time speaking properly? Yeah, I am — my family tends to mishear what I’m saying nowadays. Now I sound like I have a lisp or something — can’t even pronounce my S’s right anymore. Annoying, I tell you — annoying and daunting.

But what can I say? It’s something that I have to live with.

flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup.

Okay. So I watched Across The Universe yesterday. And, man, it was awesome. No, seriously. The visual effects, the acting, the songs (and especially the songs!) — oh, man. It was good. The backdrops were awesome too.

And Jude’s British accent had me. HAHAHA.

I hated Prudence, though. No, not the actress. Just the character. Hahaha.

About the songs — they have oh-so LSS-able songs. In fact, they’re stuck in my head now. Like, Revolution, for instance.

And the funeral scenes made me sad, especially that of Jojo’s brother. The gospel rendition of Let It Be helped with that scene.

Basta. It’s a masterpiece. I suggest you watch it.

And we’ll sing along to “With A Little Help from My Friends” when you’ve done so.

Satisfied.

I’m pleased that I actually reached 20 laps today, considering I spent less time in the pool.

And not only did I reach 20, I did an extra lap for fun. Woo. So that makes a total of 1.05 KM for today, and 1.85 KM total this week. Woo.

Target for tomorrow: 1 KM again, but this time, try to swim 100 meters continuously (at least once). I’ve been taking short breaks between laps, you see.

Crap. I’m taking it a bit too seriously. XD

Exhausted.

Thank God for swimming.

You see, I’ve been really, really bored at home, and inactive too. So yeah, I decided to tag along with my brothers’ swimming lessons — I’m allowed to use the pool even without the lessons, anyway.

As expected, I did laps. 50 meters/lap. Woo.

But I never thought that doing laps for almost three hours could be THAT tiring. But still, I think it’s worth it. After all, I can’t be a pig the entire summer — I need some physical activity!

I think I swam a total of 800 meters (16 laps) today. Haha. (Yes, I took breaks — so don’t say that I’m extremely slow XD) I dunno — I didn’t keep track, you see. Oh, well. Target for tomorrow is at least 900 meters (18 laps) but if I can go 1K, then I will. Yes, I’m ambitious. So sue me. XD

I plan to increase the distance by 100 meters a day, until Friday, then keep it at 1K for next week. If, by Wednesday, I find that 1K isn’t as tiring as I think it is, then I’ll add 100 meters. Haha.

Oh, well. A challenge? Yeah.

I’m up for it.

Masaya. Sort of.

Wala lang. After writing that rant over at LJ, boom. Someone up there must be listening.

It’s a miracle I’m not unproductive today. Yay. Go me. Thank you, Photoshop! Thank you, Google! Thank you, Safari (because my Firefox is currently out of whack X_x). (Hooray for capitalism XD)

And thank you, Aveline.

OH CRAP. WORD COUNT HERE IN WP IS ALIVE AGAIN. Yay.

Hmm…

And, I’m done with @DEEP. Go me. Lols.
