a day out with steve

Greetings, neighborhood friends.

So I will not be writing in Spanish because many of you will not understand me, so I will stick with American English for this one. I don't know why I didn't think of that before...

Today was off the chain. First off I worked out with Steve Xu (Let me say that Steve is the best man that you can be hanging out with. He is super cool, smart, and very fine, and studies at Cornell. What more is there to love?) and Thanh at Thanh's house.  Anyway, we did some pylometrics for about an hour (I will most definitely feel that tomorrow morning) and we barely made it through. Actually I feel more energized near the end of an exercise session so I went all out and crazy; I hope I do not regret that tomorrow. I also feel bad for sweating all over Thanh's nice carpet... maybe he will think it was his sweat :p

I have also decided to eat healthy for the past few days. I had a lot of grilled chicken salads and some eggs and for dinner I would have what ever my mom makes me, which is either rice or noodles or sandwiches. I also drink tons of water and eat snacks throughout the day to keep my metabolism up and my hunger down. So far so good (the food too).

Loi (that is Thanh's little brother) drives us and shows us around Pearland Center (that is the mall there). Everything is so brand new! I went there probably 2 years ago and it expanded a bit, and is still expanding. It is an out door centre so we get soaking wet in sweat as the UV rays hit us full impact. We walk a lot and talk a lot but we did not shop a lot. Me and Steve got good deals (as always) and got some swimming trunks for the beach and a sexy T shirt for the casual days that lie ahead of us. Very manly indeed.

Me and Steve then part from the brothers, and head toward Meyerland to hit up Old Navy, Ross, and Marshall's (we are boss like that). We stocked up on summer athletic clothing so we will be fashionably fit. I also got this rain jacket that was NOT on sale but I could not resist because it was the perfect rain jacket. Plus me and Steve always make it rain, and when we make it rain, it pours. So that was probably the first item not on sale that I have purchased in a very long time.. since I am the smart shopper that saves money by spending less. Me and Steve are like professional shoppers, we get the best deals and we shop smart. We almost got some useless shoes that shape you up, and we were like nah, we will shape ourselves up the real way and not waste money doing so, even if we do save a good $70 bucks.. Minds of an athlete right there. We also got these athletic tanks that show our gut, so we will wear them proud once we get things straight. I can not wait till that day comes.

After that we go to Half Price Books and buy a ton of books on clearance, as usual. It is win win since we help them clear out the shelves as we fill ours. Tonight I will delve into the minds of Scrabble champions (even though I honestly should be resting)... it should be an interesting read. I also got some management book and a book about how some people make a living playing video games (playing video games were my golden days), and 10 other books that were just interesting/funny/useful. We even got a good deal on our books because everything was 20% off due to the Memorial day weekend! Score.

So that pretty much sums up my date with Steve. Some of the girls may be jealous, but it is okay. We had our fun. It was good catch up/hang out time for us, and is a nice break from the rather routine work out and eating and spade playing, movie watching nights. Plus we only do this once or twice a year so don't hate!
