MetroLifestyle Fitness Center

My summer is going to be great because I will have time to work out...nothing willl be holding me back! I made a decision to put my lifting on hold this last semester due to various circumstances (I would have rather worked out! But I had to make sacrifices). I'm slowly getting back into the weight room and it feels grand! I feel like a different person when I workout...could it be I'm superhuman?

I found MetroLifestyle Fitness Center in the newspaper, visited the place and got my 3 month membership. The place is great, the people are friendly and I like my trainer, Greg.


My job came across my mind today for a split second. I work in SAU's multicultural office and it felt great not thinking about anything that had to deal with diversity!! Since August '06 diversity was my life.

I love you summer and I love finally being home!!

Goal for summer: Renew and refresh my relationship with God, mind and body.

Hole in my foot!

The other day I was picking at my foot and my mom discovered I had a plantars wart (verruca vulgaris). The next day I was scheduled for an appointment to get it treated. Tonight I went to my Doctor and she basically burned a hole in my foot. I underwent minor surgery which went like this: First she injected my foot with an anesthetic (real painful! It felt like a sharp sting) and then took a tiny laser beam to cut away and destroy the wart. For two weeks I can't get my foot wet and I have to apply antibiotics twice daily. When I shower I will be taping a bag over my foot.

How did I get this disgusting viral infection? I don't know...it's disgusting I know. Will you still be my friend?

My next planned surgery: my wisdom teeth...I'm not looking forward to this at all...

DAVAO!

I'm HOME! I left Detroit and flew to Nagoya (13 hour flight) I was so excited to land in Japan...it was just so wonderful being in Asia again! While in Japan I had to get off and then reboard again and flew to Manila (4 hours). I arrived at 10:30pm, then stood in line for 1 1/2 to get through immigration. I got my lugguage and found a taxi that transfered me to the domestic airport for $3! I had to wait 2 hours until I got check in at the Cebu Pacific which opened at 2AM. After checking in I waited another 2 hours until I got on th plane for my 5AM flight to Davao. The flight from Manila to Davao is 1 1/2 and I managed to sleep fairly well most of the way.

It was really great seeing my parents, I hadn't seen them since February of '06! There's been some changes in Davao since the last time I'd been here which was 2 years ago. It's awesome being home again and being back in my old room :)

Dead Week

Goodbye University Hall! I've had a wonderful RA (Deejay Obeng!) and an awesome RD (Anna Wilkinson) this school year. Goodbye dorming! After 6 years of being in a dorm (4 years in high school + 2 years College) I finally get to be in a house next year living with some great friends :)

Today is my last day for finals...I only have two and they should be a breeze! I have my microcomputer final and my marketing presentation (my group is trying to opt out!). This week has been exciting, I've managed to pack daily and store things at my brothers house as well as hang out with friends one last time. I can't believe it's my final week, it feels so great! I'm really looking forward to flying back home to the Philippines and seeing my parents and my dogs Jack and Pootie!! These last few weeks have been great becaue somone is always having a barbeque ;)

This week is graduation and I will be there! Josh is also graduating and getting his Masters in Business :)

This year has been really great for me, I've met some crazy people and it's been awesome getting to know each of them. This year I wanted to build some great friendships here and God has placed great people around me. Goodbye SAU...hello my beautiful summer! It's time to get outta here!!!

Spiderman 3

I just returned from the midnight showing of Spiderman 3! It was quite fantastic. I was very excited because I was able to purchase tickets at the beginning of the week. The movie and snacks were free for me because I won a bet with a friend ;) That made me extra excited because the bet was pretty good! Even though half of my university was in the same theater as me I still enjoyed the movie.
Good movie + wonderful friends + delicious food = 1 satisfied sarah
