What's Inside?

I wonder what's inside this heavy package.

 

I remember now! It's the prize I won from the Kubiertos.com contest.

I didn't realize that the cookbook was this thick, heavy, and mouthwatering.

Mmm, pasta.

I only "cook" instant food, but since I'm a fan of Italian food (plus the author makes Italian dishes seem more interesting than they already are), this book might make me take a shot at "real cooking". Note that the key word is might.

Thanks to Apples of Kubiertos.com for coming up with the contest!

Targets

Instead of listing down lofty yet vague long-term goals, I've decided to set very specific, somewhat challenging (to me, at least) yet achievable short-term targets.

1. Perform 90 push-ups in one minute (by January 21, 2009)
   I read about this timed physical self-test in a fitness book and decided to give it a try. On my first attempt, I only managed to do 49 in a minute. With my skinny frame (note: not much weight to push up), there's plenty of room for improvement!


2. Write 3 blog posts per week (by January 7, 2009).
   Evidently, this is a chore for me, as I prefer to talk than type. I'll start with 1 post per week for the rest of November, 2 per week in December, and 3 per week by January.


3. Learn 1 new Mandarin word/phrase per day. (101 new words/phrases by March 1, 2009)
   I've been putting this off for years. Now's the time to actually do it.

Thanks to the following sponsors for forcing, er, encouraging me to do this...

One Sentence Is Enough

I’m joining this interesting contest… http://anothermiyaw.livejournal.com/146627.html

“I found a notebook on my escritoire… and started reading about her.”

“Diary” by Bread. Get it? =)

I know. The only thing worse than forcing a rhyme is forcing a semi-rhyme.


Other entries...

I thought snow in midsummer was inconceivable until I met a guy who badly needed anti-dandruff shampoo.

After five months of eating oatmeal, my ecstatic sister can fit into her old jeans again.

If my notebook can respond, it would probably shriek from shock.

I'm just agreeing to what you're saying because I'm tired.

I should have paid attention to the signs that read: "Watch Out For Falling Debris" and "Park At Your Own Risk".
