Well, I am on week two of cardio and it is going a-ok.
Up to 25 mins three times a week and I swear I am dying of water-loss or something of the like.
I had a shower and I was parched, I was nearly tempted to drink the shower water but I didnae!
25 mins is kinda hard but I get old Freddie on and I am off.
That is all for today.
Also, went to cousin's house on Friday for her birthday party and once again the hair cutting subject was brought up, just because I want long hair I must be oppressed by mes parentinos. I tend to agree, not because it is true but because it is easier to agree as I don't get any satisfaction out of defending what my parents do. I know how they treated me when I was a child, I know how they treat me now, will arguing about it change? No, so for all intents and purposes you can assume that my parents keep me on lockdown, even though I don't live at home any more?
The fat, wannabe emo still wants a tattoo but her Dad has told her that she isn't allowed as only whores and uneducated fools have them *ahem*. I am mega proud of my Dad for what he said in response to that, hehehehe.
This truly is it.

I'm burning through the sky yeah, Two hundred degrees that's why they call me Mr. Fahrenheit
If that song and that line should be dedicated to anyone being judged on their actions over the past two weeks, it would go to Simon.

I have been shopping like it is going out of fashion over the past two weeks and it's really not good, but now I am going to stop, I only need to buy one pair of jeans then I am done.
Mr. Fahrenheit there has gone shopping with me to each and every one of these shops and not complained ONCE and he has paid for everything (despite the many arguments we had due to him being too gentlemanly, I suppose that is his only fault), he has put up with complaints of my feet hurting and soldiered on.
Bleh, I love you man. There is a deeper sentiment in there, one that you know of and one which you will no doubt be shown as well.
Anywho, over the past two weeks I have bought the following (it might not look like a lot but to me it is as I usually go out and struggle to find ONE thing I like but this time I got lucky AND the sales were on):

The carrier bag and the tags from my knicker shopping frenzy, the pants shan't be posted as they are called UNDERwear for a raison.

Shampoo Combinations/Losing My Glasses
All who know me are aware that when it comes to shampoo and conditioner, I am a whore.
I buy every kinda shampoo out there that could possibly tame my frizz, this results in me not only spending a lot of money but also amassing a lot of bottles. Every once in a while I have my conscience pricked as when I tidy the bathroom properly I see that every single bottle of shampoo or conditioner (bar one or two) belong to me. Normally I just mix bottles of same shampoos/collections.
However, today I decided to do something new, I found a few old frizz reducing shampoos (which incidentally, lied) and whacked them into one Umberto Giannini bottle which still had a residue in it of a thickening shampoo by the man, UG. Now the bottle has the original shampoo, L'oreal anti frizz (well, tis an orangey bottle that I added) and some Sunsilk frizz free shampoo..it seems to have worked ok. The same approach was taken re. conditioner, I applied three today, two bottles were on their way out so I just jammed that on my head too.
Now I have the following shampoo and conditioner bottles:

Now I have the following shampoo and conditioner bottles:
- Aussie Three Minute Miracle Frizz Reducer
- Aussie Long Hair Shampoo
- Aussie Long Hair Three Minute Conditioner
- Tresemme Shampoo for Frizzy Hair
- Tresemme Conditioner for Dry/Damaged Hair
- Pantene Clarifying Shampoo (for the greasy days)
- A cheapy but goody bottle of Boots Conditioner for Healthy Hair (bought from the Clearance shelf for 90p..damn them for not making any more!)
- Gliss Conditioner for Frizzy Hair
- Pantene Repair and Protect Shampoo
- Pantene Winter Protection Shampoo
- Pantene Winter Protection Conditioner
I think that is all, I had a considerable more this morning but now I finally know what works good for my hair, I feel I can give all my loving and devotion to a small range of hair washing aids.
Also, this is embarrassing BUT whilst I was cleaning the toilet, my glasses slid off my face and into the bog, they have always been loose on me, this is why I don't like Specsavers, no personal touch! Anywho, I went to the opticians and he let me choose a brand spanking new pair for free..yay!
Also, the combination of shampoos has done my hair no harm today but all three mixed are no match for my number one shampoo, Tresemme, how did I ever live without you?!
Copycats
Why must some people always try to emulate what you do?
I know that they say that it is the best form of flattery but I bet "they" have never been copied.
I know certain people who steal all the words I use (Yes, I have my own words as my mates knows) and then use them back on me or state that I copied them, even though they have NEVER used those words before. I also know people who latch onto everything I am in love with and then try to claim that they were onto it before I was and tell everyone that I am the one copying them.
Why try and be me? Do I copy anybody else? No.
Tis seriously beginning to piss me off.
On another note, I needs some help, I have some music that is in WMA format and I need to change it into mp3 format so if anyone knows how to do that, do let me know.
That is all that I have to report from Mayfair this afternoon, the sun is shining and I am happy as I have done my cardio share for the week (though I may carry it on for five days as it's no longer the chore it once was..maybe I should start doing it for longer!) Man, I spoke to soon, some fucker's alarm is going off, how the hell can you not hear that and realise it is yours?! Idiots.
Also, need to go to the hospital this evening so I better scrub up, might even meet a fit doctor..muwahahahahahahahaha.
I feel a bit odd today, my stomach is hurting though that tis to be expected due to it being the time of the month but apart from that, I have a separate pain inside, I can't locate it..strange, seeing as I am happy about everything APART FROM THAT BASTARD ALARM!

My Fitness Plan
So I have decided to tone up a bit and I started today, I tried coming up with excuses to get out of exercising whilst I was brushing my teeth but having found a note pasted to the cross trainer telling me to get my arse in motion, I decided it was now or never.
So, I got into my exercising outfit (some gym bottoms and an olddd Adidas hoody) and put the headphones in my ears.
I decided to start on 20 minutes because I thought I might chicken out (I really don't know what my problem is, back when I HAD to lose weight I was doing 40 mins a day, but that was in two sittings and I don't fancy doing that again as the waiting around annoys me, I want to cardio, then shower). Anywho, I think I am going to work up every two weeks, i.e. 20 mins for these two weeks, then 30, then 40, by then my resistance should be ok as I am doing more distance training than strictly calories.
Anywho, in true fashion, I digress..I got the iPod out, stuck the earphones in my ears and onto the machine I went..
I must say that for once, the time flew by..I cardio'd my way though the following songs:

Anywho, in true fashion, I digress..I got the iPod out, stuck the earphones in my ears and onto the machine I went..
I must say that for once, the time flew by..I cardio'd my way though the following songs:
- Somebody Told Me - The Killers
- You're All I Have - Snow Patrol
- You Give Me Something - James Morrison (I tell a lie, this was changed after about 10 seconds as tis too slow to do cardio too)
- Sonnet - The Verve
- Lucky Man - The Verve (twice)
The last two songs are my true cardio songs, they do something to me that makes me just work that much harder, quite a few songs are like that, maybe I should put them into one playlist and cardio to them..that IS an idea BUT my speakers on my computer have still not been fixed and thus I shall have to stick to what I have as shuffling the songs is too risky as the ones I want are likely to not come up.
The good thing about the two Verve songs mentioned above is that they start off quiet-ish and then build up, then they lapse a bit and when you need that something to get you through the sluggish bit of cardio, the song picks up. I also find that Fake Tales of San Francisco by the Arctic Monkeys is the same kinda thing. Also, as I do the distance cardio, the endings of songs become important as you can travel half a kilometre on the cross trainer on the fading out of one song..now the two Verve songs mentioned above and the Monkeys' song both trail out for a while and thus tis easy to go further whilst listening to them.
Depending on how I feel, I might do 5 days a week this week, though I am thinking to do 3 days a week, 5 days a week, 3..5..3..5.
Also, I was worried how my hair would look cut short but thanks to camera-vision I can now see as I simply flipped the other side over and I looked OK-ish, now just to get my self down to Salon B to see what is it like in there, then to grow some balls and get it cut..BUT I checked my hair last night and it has gone UNDER the boobage, I waited so long for it to grow this long and it seems harsh to cut it, but I need a new style for work and also, tis only the top bits that will get cut, I still retain some length!
This is all..
Actually, no..I took pics for the second entry into that BBC competition, one or two came out OK but I had to make do with stuff I didn't really want as a first choice but due to stuff happening, I shall have to take my first choice pic tomorrow/this weekend.

The Love of a Good Man
This is something else to be added to my under-rated list but I feel it deserves more attention, hence it having it's own post.
The love of a good man is one of the BEST things a woman can have. However, to achieve the love of a GOOD man, you need to first respect yourself. Tis true that nobody will respect you unless you respect yourself, this is why many of the brown-skinned females I know have never been in a successful relationship, expecting your partner to think the world of you when you do not think the same of yourself is redundant, it will not happen.
Another thing, the love this decent man gives you comes in differing shapes and forms, simply because a man doesn't hold doors open for you or ring you every 5 minutes to see what you are doing, is not an indication of the fact that he does not love you. My very own good man hardly ever rang me before we lived together and I still knew the love was there.
The love of a good man is conditional, I believe that nobody can love another person unconditionally, human nature is not cut out to do this. That is kinda strange if you think about it, as what else could love? Robots cannot love and it is unclear whether animals love their offspring unconditionally, though to me it seems unlikely. Even your parents do not love you unconditionally, no matter how much they say they do, there is always something you can do which makes them stop loving you. I used to think it was unconditional but now I know different.
The difference between the love of a good man and the lust of a man pretending to be a loving good man is easy to spot once you have been burnt a few times, though not many ladies clock onto this. A good man is the kind of man who will tell you the truth in the most placating way that he can when you need to hear it, the man who pretends to be good will lie to your face and then bugger off when you realise how bad something truly is. A good man need not hold open doors for you, buy you roses on your 2 week-4 day-68hour-35minute anniversary, take you shopping whenever you request it or spend money on you for no reason. A good man is the kinda guy who knows his place (hehehe), one who treats you like a human being and not the princess your Daddy has lead you to believe you are. A good man is the guy who can take the piss out of you in his own unique way, thus making you aware that although he is not paying you compliments, he still loves you. He is the guy who will take care of you when you are ill, because he CARES about you and he wants you to get better, not because he thinks it will score him some brownie points and some extra time in the sack when you are better. The guy who is totally comfortable seeing you without makeup and accepting the fact that if you choose not to wear it, it is your choice and that he will be seen with you even though you are barefaced. The good man is a dying breed and I know of only a few good men (hehehehe).
I'm not really sure who I am addressing this public service announcement to but I think it should go out to men who have ever been disillusioned by women and the love they seek from them. Sometimes you can be the perfect gentleman and a woman still will not take the bait, this doesn't mean you're doing something wrong, the woman might just not like you to be a gentleman all the time. Also, this should go out to the girls who get pissed off when a man doesn't hold doors open for them, carry their handbags or worship the ground they walk on, simply because a guy doesn't do this, does not make him a bastard. God knows that Mr Ross doesn't hold doors open for me, carry my handbag or pull out my chair for me when we go out eating, yet he does take the piss out of me and see me barefaced without flinching and that does me perfectly well.
Tis the good man who subjectifies what "romance" means to him, the wannabe that just does the standard stuff and although those of you who subjectify it might be put off by the fact that the wannabe is getting all the pussy, he will stumble and fall when notions of romance change. You subjective group stay subjective and it will be YOU who finds a woman tailor-made for you and not a woman who expects the world in return for nothing.

Waxing
So I was meant to get my legs waxed this morning but I overslept, great.
Luckily, the woman who does my waxing had a cancellation right after mine so she managed to wax me after all.
Tis funny how even after 7 years I still wince when she rips the material off, even though it doesn't hurt.
I cannae wait to just whip my trousers off and walk around with sexy legs and also to not be called Stubbler.
Plus, they are exfoliated, smooth AND glowy, this is one of the reasons why waxing>shaving.
I am still contemplating whether or not to invest in an epilator, tis the same notion as shaving I suppose.

Shopping
So today I went shopping..yep, off to Brent Cross and to my favourite underwear store in the world..La Senza.
I spent about £100 quid but that is immaterial really as I can justify the cost, I am very happy with what I got for the money I spent though there is one complaint that I have, the knickers are all twisted up, as if they come in bulk and the shop girls didn't untie them..lame.
I love this shop as the materials they use are so sexy, they feel really nice and you can tell they aren't cheap. Also, the most expensive bra I have ever bought from there was £22 quid and it worked better than a Wonderbra did (that cost about 30-ish quid) and I recommend this shop to all my friends. The reason that I have a lot of love for this shop is that they have a DECENT sale on, i.e. they have more sale stuff in the store than fully priced stuff and it is always very well separated and everyone knows it is not hard to separate sale stuff and non sale stuff when women have been rummaging through it all day. The sale actually means a SALE as the stuff I bought was 70% off. EVERY SINGLE BRA WAS PRICED AT £5 which is another reason why I love them, the uniform pricing they have. No matter how much the knickers originally cost, they are all in the same promotion so you can mix and match. Also, the stuff is super sexy but you can also wear it everyday as it is so comfortable, yet another plus.
Debenhams could learn a lot from La Senza. Debenhams put on a sale which boasts 70% off when in actual fact it is 45% off. This is why when La Senza put on a sale (though a 5 for £5 on pants is rare), the shop is rammed. This was the same story today..I spent about two hours in there getting all my bits together. Debenhams is never this busy and now I understand why.
LONG LIVE LA SENZA
I do believe I shall be going back there this Saturday as I have to accompany my personal superwoman.

Photography..YET AGAIN
Ok, so I entered my pictures into the BBC's Photographer of the Year contest (yes, I am that good at taking photographs). There are, I think, 6 categories in total, the first one being "blue", I have sent in my photos for that already (photos which remained top secret for most of the weekend hehehe) and now I have to set about taking photos for the second theme which is...HIDDEN.
This is where you loyal/mad/crazy readers of this blog need to help me out. How can I portray hidden in a photo? I already have one idea but I have to gather the pieces for it. If you have any ideas, do let one know.
Thankies.

Supermarket Theft
Went shopping today and half the stuff I put in the trolley did not make it home.
I am quite upset as I have wanted a specific shampoo for ages and twas too expensive to buy on normal pricing and it was on offer so I got two of them :(
Came home and realised that it didn't make it home with me so I shall have to go to Sainsbury's tomorrow and get some more, I also need to get me some cheese too.
They better have it or else!
I have finally decided on the cupboards that I want for my room, they are pristine white, they shall be ordered tomorrow.
Plus, the La Senza sale is on and I simply MUST go there, will probably go on Tuesday.
