eluding the zzzz's

for some reason, i've had very bad jetlag last two years i was in the united states and back. i got in to phoenix after a grueling 18+ hours of traveling from manila to hongkong to los angeles and finally to arizona. if you think about it, it will be one of the things you'd really hate if you joined the amazing race. of course the consolation there is you get to rest, though a bit uncomfortably but sleep is sleep, no matter how you take it. ice slept through most of the flight from hongkong to LA but i managed to squeeze in "glory road" in between snoozing and snacking. i also did a repeat of disney's "hercules" where i was freakin' teary-eyed when meg sacrificed her life to save herc. it was a good thing the lights were turned off already and ice & the guy beside me were sleeping or it would have been embarassing to be seen crying over an animated film. ha!

not eatin' rice has gotten to be easier over the last few weeks. i do take some form of carbo though in the case of mashed potatoes but lately i've been quite partial to eating salads - i'm no longer shying away from dressings such as caesars, honey mustard and even balsamic vinegrette. i don't think i'm ready for thousand island though - there's something weird about it though i've never tasted it yet - hahaha such an illogical reasoning. i'm gettin' worried about my meals in the states - i am determined not to get fat and its a good thing that the inn where i'm staying has a free access to a local gym not far from it. i brought my gym stuff here - i'll surprise b when i get back that i didn't waste the last 2 months working out for nothing. well, i did have 2-piece chicken & some mashed potatoes from KFC for dinner and had some dr pepper. so i did swear off drinking carbonated beverages but when in the US, i crave for some dr pepper. just love it, i guess. aquafina then tomorrow, and i'll do some grocery and laundry in between doing my presentation for the face to face on wednesday.

so its 1248am here already and sleep eludes me. i forgot to grab my over-the-counter sleeping pills back home (got those last year). i will probably end up buying some tomorrow if i don't get some sleep tonight. i feel kind of weary, don't want to unpack my stuff yet. maybe tomorrow.
