The Shiznit List

This is some of the shit regarding the deal that I made with myself..that before turning 20, I have to do my 19-to-do list plus 1 bonus crap! I pick a few since some are more private.

1. Washboard Abs - Where? I've been telling myself to be more serious with my crunches..but I successfully fail every time I do so. Success rate: 50% (30% if there's presence of Lays, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Carbonara, and Local Sour Worms)

2. Vegan Week - This is really hard. I should be able to have a 2 random week where there will be no intake of meat, chicken and fish. Only veggies, bread, and the like. Success rate: 10% (..can go up to 20% come Holy Week!)

3. Soda Less - DONE! (refer to February 22 post) :D

11. Book Bond - At least 3 books..not scholarly books but comics do apply. 1 book down! Success rate: 90% (2 comics to go!)

12. Driving 101 - The title itself says it all but I'm not sure that I can have my driving lessons this coming summer because of my 200 hour internship. And I'm planning to apply for two internship so make that 400 hours! Success rate: 25% (Can be 40% with Dad's spoon-fed lectures)

16. Spotblog - Having my own online journal is part of the list and part of my writing therapy. And since I already have my iamsupermanbelieveitornotgotrykryptonitingmeandillbeweak.blogspot.com
...DONE!

19. Done Deed - Know the movie 40 days and 40 nights? Of same concept but mine should last for 19 days! 19 days off of doing the deed. Gahd. This is like suicide. Like not eating for 1 whole day but with intake of candy and water: surviving though in EXCESSIVE state of hunger. But can you believe that I'm done with this? Haha! And I had my abstinence for 22 deedless bulimic days. I exceeded my 19 days! Whew, guess what happened on the 23rd day! @_@

DEADLINE OF SHIT LIST: SEPTEMBER 2009!

Soda Status: Nonexistent

I made a deal with myself..that before turning 20, I should control myself for 30 FREAKIN' DAYS to not drink sodas of any kind..no matter how light, zero, or sugarless it is..it is still soda! Foolish.

There were a lot..and I mean A LOT of situations where I was tempted to drink one.

• In one circling table, all my friends are sharing a drink of 1.5 size of Coke and all I can do is stare at it and pretend to be happy with my really fresh mineral bottle.
  
• There where a handful of moments where my mom (since my mom is a fan of fizzy drinks) just randomly brings a bottle of soft drink in the table and drink it right in front of me (she really doesn't know anything about my crazy abstinence) and all I can do is touch the cold bottle, feel it and gulp on my glass of water. Like a poor helpless kid.
• In dire need of something to drink, I entered a 24 hour convenience store and directly went to the ref with figuratively eye popping sodas..*moment of silence and mild reflection*..I slowly move to the other ref with healthy orange juice and cleansing teas.
  

I was successful with this and I made it to not only 30 h2o days but exactly 37 days of pure water and juice intakes! Yey! :D

..and I found myself swimming with soda pops on the 38th day!
