Gym Day 2 of 4 for the Week

If we keep this up, we'll most likely hit our 4 days this week. I was pretty sore, but definitely good enough for the gym.

Oh yah, I've been sort of keeping up with the squats challenge. But it's getting harder and harder these days. As for the rest of our workout. I did biceps and Jeric did shoulders? At least I think so. He also skipped cardio entirely today. He said that it's actually better and he can lift heavier, which is probably because he's not so pooped from all that cardio. Pretty cool. :D

We also got Derpson a new toy! Here he is playing with it..

Derpson with toy..Derspon drops toy..Derpson wants me to pick-up toy..
Silly boy!

Nothing But the Gym

Our normal gym day. Although, this week, we're striving to hit 4 times! Hope we can keep that up. I need to bulk up like no other! My scrawny bones need muscles!

I just worked on triceps and obliques today while Jeric ran a mile and worked on abs.

Nothing special.. just our normal shindig. AAAAnnnnddddd.. no pics! Whoopsie! Hahaha.

Our Sunday

While Jeric was in la i went with the fam for lunch to celebrate Brian getting into the rad tech program! congrats Brian!

They took us out to eat at Capital Seafood in Irvine Spectrum.

Afterwards, we went to hang out at their house. They're doing major renovations. Redoing crown molding and some wall panels. Also gutting carpet, replacing areas with wood laminate and some with new carpet, repainting their walls, and they totally redid their fireplace! I also got to see baby Shawn for a bit.

Went home to watch the Lakers get sweeped. Booo! Then I began laundry while we watched the GSW game, which, once again, was more exciting than the Lakers game. Of course, Derpson wouldn't allow me to do laundry in peace... he decided to wreak havoc!

We went to Disney Cali Adv for a quick Toy Story Mania rematch.. but not without some ice cream from Cold Stone first.

Our Toy Story rematch was for a failed 70 DDD bet. And woohoo! I won!!! Mwahahaha! But then I took a stupid bet. It was whether I took Jeric's pic or not the last time. I could've sworn I took the pic and I bet on my memory. HA! Serves me right, my memory never works out for me. LOL! Dumb bet! We're now back to 0 DDD's. Looks like it's good ol' rock paper scissors!

Dirty Dog Wash


Last time we went to the Huntington Dog Beach, we took Derpson to Dirty Dog Wash for a bath. So, this time, we wanted to do it again since both Derp and Juno were super dirty. We remembered that if you write a yelp review, you can get free self-service. We also agreed to never have them wash Derp for us. He didn't like it very much.

I think he was much more happier with us giving him a bath. Jeric actually took care of Derp while I took care of Juno. Ahhh.. fresh and clean doggies! Love it!

At the end.. Derp did want out! Hahaha. But not without a cute photo first!

And then came the car home.. with silly Derpson totally knocked out!

Doggy Beach Park

Last time we took Derpson to a regular dog park, he was dying of exhaustion and was probably over heating. So today, we decided to take him to the dog beach instead. We also thought we should take Juno monster with us since she's never got to go.

Of course the drive there seemed like it may be a tough one since we had both dogs in the car. So I drove with Juno and Jeric had Derp in the back.

We totally parked a bit too far though. So we had a super long walk!

Derpson was after Juno so he kept walking even though he was so tired. Wore him out way before we got to the dog park. We let them go, but Derp was more interested in Juno instead of any of the other dogs. He seems to be in heat. He totally wanted the Juno monster! Hahaha. And poor Juno wasn't having any of it. She totally didn't wanna be there too. I tried to take Juno to the water, but she ran away. She mostly stood next to Jeric and sat pretty hoping he would pick her up. Silly girl.

Juno is not having it here.. hahaha.

The dogs looked pretty happy at least.

Since both dogs were pooped.. Jeric decided to walk to the car while he left me in an area nearby with the doggies. The moment Jeric left Derpson plopped down on the nice cold cement! Hahaha.

Wonko for Din Din

After the game, we headed to good ol' Wonko for dinner. It's like our go to spot when it's super late and we're in LA!

Like always, we ordered the crispy noodles, a beef dish, and sweet & sour shrimp!

YUMMMM!

Going to a Laker Playoff Game!!

So I get a text from Jeric.. "Guess who's going to the playff games!!!!"

Of course, I totally say, "US!"

And yup! We're totally going to a Laker playoff game!!! Jeric got tickets to a playoff game from his boss!! I am super excited, woohoo! And our seats are premium! Berry niiiice!

He even sent me a pic of our tickets while he was at work! Hahahaha. ->

This is the first playoff game ever for both of us! Too bad Kobe, Nash, and Blake are injured! We also met up with Anthony by accident. Hahaha. We parked on the street and as we were walking towards Staples Center, there he was! So we hung out and chatted on the way. And then at half time, we met up with Dre!

Us..

The crowd..


The game was total meh. Worst loss ever! Not only did the refs suck, but the team just couldn't play defense! Ugh! Oh well.. it was still fun at least. But could you imagine paying for these tickets? As Jeric would say, "And that's why I don't pay for tickets."

The crowd chants were fun! They had "Referees suck!" And my fav, "We want Phil!"

My Gym Spot

Finally getting around to doing our Thank You cards. Better late than never. Hopefully I finish these up before the end of the month. That's the plan at least.

Today is also gym day. Keeping up with the self workout. Here's my little gym spot. :)


No abs though. Not enough time. Jeric had zombies at 8 again and I kinda got off work late today.

Din Din with Oldies...

Me and Jeric were hungry after work today, so we checked our stash of gift cards and found one for Marie Callendar's.

When we got there, we sure noticed a lot of old folk in the parking lot.. and then more old folk inside the restaurant! HAHAHA. Guess it's an old folk kinda place. Oh well, free food is free food!

Jeric ordered a pasta with lemon, chicken and mushrooms and I ordered grilled chicken with potatoes and broccoli. Both dishes were okay. Not the best, but not bad either. And how can you beat a free meal?

There was no room for dessert afterwards though.

Workouts and Wreck It Ralph

I get these emails from self magazine and every now and then they have some cool workout routines. I finally got around to trying one. It's called the bikini body workout.

Jeric also told me to cut out the cardio. Especially since I'm already skinny enough. The cardio is hampering my muscle building. Which is what I really need.

I actually had to do quick workouts too because Jeric had a zombie appt at 8.

After zombies, we finally got to watch Wreck It Ralph! We haven't been able to because the computer was reformatted and we couldn't find the right drivers that go with windows 8. And then the playstation couldn't hook-up to Jeric's TV because there was something wrong with the HDMI slot. We were able to switch out TV's a few weeks ago, and then we had to find the power cable for the playstation AND the controller too. Haha. At least we finally got everything and can watch bluray again! Horray!

Lazy Days

Our original plan was to hit the gym later in the evening rather than right after work. Why, you ask? Zombies!

Anyhow, they all finally had their schedules cleared for zombies at 8:00pm. And since we had to make some stops for necessities like our muscle milk powder we decided to hit the gym after Jeric plays zombies.

At least, that's how things were SUPPOSED to go.

So, we got off work and ran our errands. We got free ice cream at baskin robbins first and then headed to best buy because Jeric had $5 rewards. We bought candy with that money. Hahaha.



We also got our muscle milk from costco! Had to get the vanilla cream this time. Screw the strawberry banana, gross!

And then we went home and Jeric played zombies. At first, I was good. I was just searching for music to add on the ipod. But then Derp started attacking me! That boy!! So I started play fighting with him, but then he got way too rough, as always. Eventually I tired him out and got him to go sleep. That's when I played some candy crush! And that's when I also got super sleepy. Hahaha. I knocked out and when Jeric was done playing zombies, I told him I was too sleepy to go to the gym.

He was thinking of going on his own, but he ended up staying home too and testing out his new shoe cleaner (which is fantastic btw!)

Gotta say, my nap, which turned into sleep, was the best!

Birthday Din Din With the Mostajo Fam Bam

Had dinner with the Mostajo fam bam. I choose Tsunami's.. but I was totally thinking it was all-you-can-eat sushi. I was wrong though, whoopsie! Since it wasn't all-you-can-eat sushi, we ended up eating Teppanyaki instead.

The Mostajo fam bam..

Me and the hubster..

Everyone still ordered a sushi dish..

My teppanyaki plate..

Early morning pancakes!

I tried cooking pancakes myself for once. I haven't in ages because I remember having super under cooked pancakes years and years ago.

But I figured I could try again. Of course, they weren't from scratch (I'll try those when we get our own place).

Anyhow, I thought I was doing something wrong.. cause the bottoms came out holey! Hahaha. Jeric said those were good though! He said that's the way they should be. Oh well, as long as he loves them!

My pancakes!

Shipmates.. April Birthdays!

Celebrating April birthdays (me and Joan) at Shipmates!

Just the girls.. didn't get a pic of the boys! Whoopse!

After the debut, me and Jeric headed over to meet up with everyone at Shipmates.

By the time we got there, a lot of them were pretty buzzed already! Hahaha! of course, that meant I had to play catch-up. And the girls kept reminding me too! Telling me to down my drinks! HAHA! I was deathly afraid of going overboard way too fast though! Especially since I'm super light weight these days (cheap date! WOOT!)

To start, Joan gave me her Tokyo Tea and then came back with an AMF! Luckily I paced myself just right. I had a good buzz, but never went overboard!

When we got home, Marky was in the garage with Patrick, Ali and some friends.. they were playing beer pong! We hung out with them for awhile and I ended up playing a round of beer pong with Ali. We lost :( I even knocked over a few cups. DOH!

The Debut!

The day started out with a quick trip to the doggy park.

Then came all the errands. Had to get my eyebrows threaded, drop off a TV to my parent's house and pick-up my dress for tonight's debut!

We were also supposed to go to Matthias' bday party, but we just had way too much to do and also needed plenty of time to get ready for the debut.

Before entering the hall for the debut.. we took a quick stop at Goofy's Kitchen to have a photo with Goofy!

The debut was for Maranina, who is the grand daughter of one of the owners of the company I work for. She had it held at Disneyland Hotel and totally wanted it themed after Beauty and the Beast. The colors were blues and golds.

Here's some of the deco... and the cake!

The debutant also had two outfits for the night. A royal blue dress to start and a gold dress, much like Belle's gold dress to end.

As for the food. We started with a salad, which was totally lame and very very dry. Then I had the chicken plate and Jeric had the beef plate. Both were decent dishes, but we did expect more. The most delicious part was their coffee. It as really smooth and had a hint of chocolate in it. I had 2 cups! There was also dessert aside from the cake, which was some weird chocolate cake thing that was.. meh. Very subpar for a dessert at Disneyland Hotel if you ask me.


And that was it.. now, off to Shipmates to meet up with the homies!

Disneylannn

Took a quick trip to Disneyland today and went directly to Cali Adv.

When we got to Toy Story Mania, it was closed! Ewwwww. We thought it might be because of World of Color, but nope, the ride was down because of technical difficulties.

We did stick around to catch the backside of World of Color though. It was just as pretty from the back as it is from the front. Although, can't see much of projected images as well.


After World of Color and walking around Cali Adv, Toy Story was finally back up and running. So away we go!!

I whooped butt of course. But Jeric swears there was a glitch. Hahahaha. He said there's no way I could've beaten him by 10k! Especially when he snagged a bunch of 5k targets from me. But the score begs to differ.. Mwahahahaha. I win!

Him laughing.. totally because he is completely in disbelief. It's a delirious laughter. Hahahahahahaha.

Class 302!

Had lunch with Gen today. We both decided to go to Class 302! We wanted some boba, but then we knew we were gonna have dessert, so we both skipped out on the boba.

We both ordered the fried pork chops with noodles. It was meh. Kinda oily, didn't taste that great AND there were all these bones! Never ordering that again, that's for sure. Oh, and like halfway through our meal.. Gen piglatin'd me that it smells like stinky tofu. Hahaha. I didn't smell it at first.. but I gave it awhile and that crap stank soo bad!

Neither of us finished our food, but we were both totally done with it and ready for dessert. We ordered the regular shaved snow with strawberries, mango, mochi and almond jello.

That was delicious as always. But one order was still way too much for us. We both ended up taking half of it to go. I shared mine with co-workers since it was probably gonna melt by the time I got home. Besides, Jeric said he'd rather have it fresh. Which means, we HAVE to go back! :)

The Lautner Workout

Jeric was looking for some good workouts and he came across the lautner workout. Which is what Taylor Lautner used to get fit for the Twilight movies.

Anyhow, he tried it today!

This is one of the ab workout moves..



I was doing arms while he was doing those ab workouts. I gotta say, they look intense!

He was sweating up a storm too. And by the end of all his routines, he said he could feel it more than p90x abs!

Birthday Freebies

I've been getting some coupons for birthday freebies and the best ones were the free ice cream at baskin robins and the free cake from kfc!


These are sooo delicious, but at the same time, soooo bad. Hahaha. Oh well, it's my burfday!!!

Chef Jeric and his Loco Moco!

Got home and saw that my phone case came in! YEY. Isn't it cute?

Jeric made us some Loco Moco again today! Yummers!
