Happy Monthsary

I just realized that it has been a month since I left Manila. Time indeed flies so fast and so much has changed. Anyway, just so everyone's updated on what has been happening with me, here's what I have been up to. This is, of course, under the assumption that you are interested in my life otherwise, please feel free to leave.

My weekends (and even weeknights) have been filled with shopping trips and I love it.

I am now one-size smaller, pants-wise. I blame long walks, extremely longer waits, and, of course, my newfound affair with buses and trains for all of this. Sadly, I think my feet grew by half-an-inch. Darn.

I am also five pounds lighter (as if it's obvious!) in spite of how much I have been devouring the past month. The food here is overwhelming!

I just checked my supply this afternoon and it seems that I am down to my last pack of Frost. After this, I am quitting smoking again until further notice. Hopefully, my new stash comes in soon but until then, a healthy lifestyle is in order.

And since I'll be living healthy, I'll be going back to the beach. Goodbye carbs.

I'll also be running (hopefully, a marathon soon) as part of my newfound devotion to an active lifestyle. I am also planning to learn how to ride a bike (yeah, I know!), swim (this one too!) and dance (ballroom). Apparently, dancing is a very important skill when one hangs out with women of a certain age.

I have not had a haircut until now and my hair is starting to annoy me. I'll give it a couple more weeks so I can prep myself up for a very expensive cut and find myself a new stylist.

You've all seen initial pictures of my house. I have yet to send updates but at least I have given you an idea of how things look. Soon, I'll post random pictures. If you'd like an online tour of the house, send me a message. Let's do a YM tour!

This early, I have also made plans for several trips - New York a few weekends from now. New England or Baltimore in fall. Canada soon enough. New York again for the holidays. A quick trip to the West Coast probably. And maybe Europe early next year. Home in April. I just wish a few of these materialize.

And yes, I have maintained my extremely wholesome personality until now. I am rediscovering a new side of Tristan - ultra virginal.

When it comes to love, zero. It does not really bother me though. At this point, I feel that I am still preoccupied with so many things that I cannot focus on love... at least not yet. Besides, I promised myself that I will do things right the next time I fall. I think, by then, I will be ready for forever. Fingers crossed.

Finally, I have been missing a few people. If you are still reading this post, then probably, you're one of those I miss.

It has been one heck of a month and I barely recognize who I am now but everything is good.

Happy Monthsary Tristan.
