3 Months Post-Op

It has already been 3 months. Actually 15 weeks; 16 more days until my twins 3 month birthday. I am seriously considering having a 1 year birthday for the gals. lol. I know it sounds dumb, but women have been heard to do it. Yeah, like a small gathering with the girlfriends and a few drinks to celebrate my body. The only thing is... I am not completely happy with it. Yeah the tits look good but damn... not the rest of it. LOL. Wtf! I mean, I know I look good and all, but its only in the face, only in the face. :) Well, the ideal measurements are supposedly: whatever your bust line is, then your waist line should be ideally 10 inches less than your bust. Your hips should be 2 inches more than your bust line. So in my scenario, I would be 36-26-38, ideally, that is. So I'm a 36D cup! Yaya. Check. Ummm.. as for the waist line... that one needs the most improvement, its a good old three nine. My hips are 40, which is not bad for me because I actually prefer to be "thick" with hips but my thighs need a hellava lot of work. They are probably 26 inches LOL. I want to say the circumference of each individual leg is 26 inches, which is not what you want.

So I'm in Summer school, taking an accounting course and most importantly, a Fitness & Wellness class. Okay, if you are broke like I am and don't want to pay $30 every month for a membership at some stupid gym you probably will only go to the first 2 weeks you get your membership, not to mention the agreement or contracting fee that those fuckers make their commission off of, then do like me and go to your community college and enroll in a fitness class there! So my class is a short 6 week summer course so its pretty congested. The class is Mondays through Thursdays for one hour each day! The course is only one unit which will cost you roughly $26! You even get a free trainer, you can call him teacher or instructor. Wait! That's not all! The course is even transferable! If you are working on your degree or transfer, this will help bring up your GPA, it is definitely an easy A. So not only are you motivated to work out already, but to incite you, they are going to give you a chance to bring that grade point up!

Okay enough of trying to sell the community colleges. I am taking Fitness & Wellness. We have about one week left and I have got to say, I have learned a lot of little exercises that I can do at home. Like lunges with a hip rotation, simple elbow flex, side crunches, power push-ups, shoulder flex on the ball. Dumbells are a must haves. I think I might go to TJ Max and pick up some for myself. I started with 5lbs, now I'm on 10lbs! Do you believe it? Also, once a week, we do this thing called a "fun run." You know when you drive by a school and it's like 100 degrees outside, but your in your car with the a/c on and you see a bunch of kids running around the school and your thinking in your head, "these kids are crazy!" Well for one day every week for the last four weeks, you saw me there. It wasn't as bad as it looks. The first time we did it, I stopped after a few meters and was already breathing like I had emphysema. But going on the third week, I want to say I ran at least half a mile without stopping and I was so proud of myself! Well actually I jogged, but the important part is that I kept my heart rate up and I didn't stop. Two days ago, a girl in my class made it point to tell me that she can tell I lost weight from the first day of class... a tear drop almost fell out of my eyes as I haven't weighed myself since the first day because the instructor forbade it. He didn't want us to get discouraged if we weren't seeing progress yet. Which I can see the point in that, so I didn't defy him and I stayed away from the scale. So my first weight in was 164lbs, 5'3'', BMI 29 (considered obese, very dangerous). :( I hope that I lost some weight.

I love my boobs! Faith and Hope! You can see that they are already shaping really nicely. <33333333

Planning a trip to Cambodia?

So my mom has been nagging me about looking up some good deals for a cruise for the family but I guess I have been lagging. This morning I got a call from Ma and she asked me, "Do you want to go to Cambodia?" I was like, "Hek YEAH!!!" My mom and dad are planning to vacate before the summer ends and bringing Nyle and I along, the only problem is that we haven't even applied for our passports yet. So, if we can pick up those passports by end of August it's a go! My mom even offered to pay for my ticket and asked me if I wanted to get a Cambodian wedding out there since its so cheap! LOL I'm sure she was joking but when I told my honey, he was stoked! He even called his mom and told her... yeah they all think it's a joke but we really really want to do it! Wow, imagine that; our 3 day Khmer wedding in the heart of Phnom Pehn. :) If you don't know Khmer weddings are huge and the entire city gets involved. The great thing about it it that I have so many family members from my dad's side and it will cost us roughly $2000 for the entire 3 day ceremony. Well, I don't want to get my hopes up, I still have to check on these damn passports and my financial situation but honestly, I don't mind eating Ramen noodles 3 times, for the next 2 months to save up for this trip. The last time I visited the Kingdom of Cambodia, I was only 12 years old. I know this time, it will be more memorable, as I am older and more knowledgeable and have a camera. lol. Well, we'll see... I may finally get my authentic Cambodian wedding!

I'm letting go

Have you ever held on to something too tightly? So tight that it couldn't even move. Have you ever held that power over someone else? Have you ever felt like you are the only thing that is keeping it together? Have you ever felt like you were forcing it? Have you ever realized that? Have you realized that if you were to let go, that maybe it wouldn't willingly be here next to you? Have you hurt like this?

Yes.

"And you will never really know how someone truly feels about you, until you both have a little bit of [power]." - I forgot who quote this

Just let it go.

When you love someone so deeply
They become your life
It's easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside
Blindly I imagined I could
Keep you under glass
Now I understand to hold you
I must open up my hands
And watch you

Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterly
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly, butterfly

I have learned that beauty
Has to flourish in the light
Wild horses run unbridled
Or their spirit dies...
You have given me the courage
To be all that I can
And I truly feel your heart will
Lead you back to me
When your ready to...

Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterly
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly, butterfly

I can't retend these tears
Aren't over flowing steadily
I cant prevent this hurt from
Almost overtaking me

But I will stand and say goodbye
For you will never be mine
Until you know the way it feels
To spread your wings and fly

3 Weeks Post-Op Update

I love them so much. I can't explain how content I am with my decision to go with silicone. I will admit though, that the first week post-op I was a bit dissatisfied with the size and thought that I should have went bigger; to 600cc's (I'm 500cc's right now). But everyone around me thinks they are ginormous! Even when I went to Vegas, I wore some pretty low cut shirts and dresses and I would get a lot of men and WOMEN breaking their necks looking down at my chest, so I guess that says something. Maybe they are a bit big. Any who, I love them regardless. They are so soft, especially for being only three weeks old. My doctor says that I am having a great recovery and they are exactly how he would have expected them to look. I was shocked that I didn't have any bruising at all, could be that I took Anica but even then, I would have expected some sort of bruising and swelling. My swelling only lasted about a day and a half. I remember Megan's boobies swelling for a long time and not dropping till about a year or so. Well, I am just so please with Dr. Ip's work. He is officially my plastic surgeon. Not admitting that I'm getting anymore cosmetic surgery, just insisting he would be the one if I did in the future. They are just more than what I expected. My scars are really clean you can barely even see it. I am just so ecstatic. Hehe Hehe A happy new me. Now the only thing I have to worry about is shedding about 40lbs lol. Sounds easy riiiiiiiight?

DIY: 5 Minute Spring Floral Earings

This is the inspiration. I found these ear rings on Forever21.com and I remembered that I purchased some extra "scrapbook" flowers for Mother's Day that I didn't use. So I opened up my little bag and started working with some scraps. I ended up making 3 pairs of ear rings, it was quick and easy, and they came out lovely! And a lot cheaper than they would be at Forever21 and Forever21 is already hella cheap. :)



These are all the supplies you need: Scissors, pink hot glue gun, cheap diamond stud ear rings or ear ring hooks, paper scrapbooking flowers from Micheal's Arts & Crafts its like $3, and card stock or thick paper (optional).


For the dangling 3 flower ear rings: I cut a small piece of card stock (1/2 inch). Cut the wire off of the flowers and glued the flowers to the card stock (paper) and poked a hole at the tip of the paper with the ear ring hook and slid the hook through! And Wa la!
For the studs, I just cut the floral wire off and glued it the diamond studs.


Three new and in style pairs of ear rings for the Spring season and even Summer!

Mothers Day and G-mothers Day Cards

My Mother's Day card. This is not finished. All I have to do is stick on some letters and maybe a quote. I haven't seen my mom yet, not til this weekend so I still have time.


I made this card for Nyle's beloved grandma Lane. She loved it!

Chinese, Cambodian, or American Wedding?

VS.


Chinese, Cambodian, or American Wedding or all three?? lol
My ideal wedding would include all three ceremonies but, 3 days is too much and too expensive. How do you put all three traditions in one day and make it as magnificent as possible? Or do I have to pick the ones that I want most? No, that's out of the question, my dilemma is how to put it all together. I love all three heritage and all three traditions too much to let one or two not be apart of my big day. I know it will probably be at least 4 years until the big day but it doesn't hurt to start planning in advance. lol After all it is a little girl's dream, to have that fairy tale wedding. Not to mention next month is June, the month favored most for a nice sunny wedding day.


How about we put a little twist in it? A Western wedding dress with a Cambodian inspiration. I am definitely getting my dress made by a Cambodian! I think we have found a solution! Well this is only a solution to my dresses, the wedding ceremony, of course is most important! ;p


Cambodian

So beautiful! I love the intricate designs on her sleeve.

Chinese

One time, bow to the priest, two time, bow to your parents, three time bow to each other. I think I have that right. :)


This is an occasion dress by a Cambodian designer. This dress is unbelievable.


This has nothing to do with weddings but I found it while browsing. Awww I want to get this for my God daughter. But I like the yellow gold ones better.

Saying "WE" comes naturally

A Mothers Day Card for His Mother

What do you get the mother that has it all? And also lives too far to visit lol? You make her a card that will give her an everlasting impression. My hubby and I took a trip down to Joann's arts and crafts store in Las Vegas, and believe me, the Las Vegas crafts stores are like bored old lady heaven compared to the Orange County ones near my house. lol. There was a huge selection of everything and anything you can imagine, half the store is dedicated to just fabrics alone, 5 aisles to just card stock... just card stock alone. So I came to the perfect place. It was a good idea that I already had a theme in mind. His mother is an all American Kentucky derby fan with a big heart for horses (she raised her own horse too). So what better than to make a card with a Kentucky derby theme! If you know Kentucky derby, then you will know that the sole reason women go to the derby is for none other than the fashion... HATS HATS HATS. So this is the card that came to be after spending like 3 hours in 2 aisles lol. I'm very meticulous when it comes to my artwork, its the only perfection I have towards anything but the look on Nyle's face when he saw it, made it all worth it and hopefully his mom has the same reaction.

Inspired by the Kentucky derby hat.








Well, now all I have to do is whip up three more of these (my mother, my grandmother, and his grandmother) that are equally as impressive. Mothers day Oh Mothers Day... lol.

I have no discipline; I am too fat.

It can happen!

I have it just too easy; too much freedom and it's negative long term effects have taken its physical and mental affects on my body. Less than a year ago, I weighed 135 lbs and I was pretty happy with that size (of course 125 lbs is my ideal size) but I have lost myself and now weight 165 lbs. It make me sad to admit that fat people really do get treated differently and I have the first hand experience to tell you. Skinny people get first class treatment, trust me, it is a world of differences when you are skinny. Trust me. And the sad thing about it is that people don't purposely do it; it come naturally to be mean to fat people. I just want to look good and know I look good and feel good and live longer. I have quit smoking and that did take a lot of self control and I'm still battling these urges (Visiting Vegas casinos right now does not help at all). So to loose weight, get healthy, stay healthy and get a banging ass body, lets start with some discipline:
Set up a daily routine. Consider it a challenge.
