  • My Diet.. Not Really..



    There is one thing people who know me well are BAFFLED by. It's the amount I eat but remain under 100 pounds..

    Today Lena Ate...
    A large bowl of mixed fruit and yogurt.
    yummy, mangoes, pineapple, strawberries and watermelon!
    actually.. make that 1 and a half.. i went back for more ><
    A blue berry scone
    With a cup of red rose tea

    Lunch I consumed.
    A small bowl of tomato, bean and bacon soup
    a fairly large garden salad with raspberry vinaigrette
    A serving of fries
    A large baja quesadilla with salsa
    With more tea

    And now I just ate:
    an average bowl of fried rice...
    but i was still hungry so i made myself A BOX of kd. I was convinced that no one else would want any soo i ate it straight from the pot. YAY
    included in mix was two yogurt packet thingies and a cup of milk..
    Oh and grapes. If i had more i would still be eating them actually...

    I dont know if this is what average people consume on a daily basis.. but thats how I rolll... yay?
    umm.. if it makes things better the Box of KD was "whole wheat"?
     
    Err... Yah.. i dont know if this is what they call stress eating. I've kind of always eaten like this. It's bad with fruits especially, i honestly dont know when to stop with fruits, especially if they are cut up into bite sized pieces. Salads are NOT filling at all, nor are pastas to me. People ask me HOW HOW HOW am i not a million pounds..

    Well apparently your brain consumes about 20% of the calories we intake.. i just tell people that my brain thinks more :).

    Actually, and the fact that the food I eat really isn't high in fats. More of carbohydrates that my liver can just all convert into glycogen for another time.

    Also. i just tell them it's genetic.. my dad is the same way. Fairly smaller build for a guy BUT he eats like a TANK TANK TANK.

    No worries people out there.. it will catch up to me one day.. ONE DAY.
    The prediction made by some friends in grade 9 was that once I hit 18 it will ALL HIT.... Maybe the bar should be changed to 21?

    ugh. I want more grapes now.
    These eating patterns are normal right? right right?
    .. right? D:!!!

    BACK TO BIO STUDYING. MIDTERM TMWWSS~~ YEYEYEYEYE.
    along with my English presentation. YAYYYY. ugh tmws gunna suck.

    ALSO if anyone ever took intro to calculus in high school or the course in university.. this might be a good little chuckle..

  • BIOLOGY JUST BLEW UP MY BRAIN;

    this is going to be an uber short post (on my scale) because i got to get back to exploding my brain with useless knowledge.

    You know how you sit in a math class and you're learning probably useless stuff and you think "WHEN WILL I EVER USE THIS IN LIFE" when really the actual answer is, no you will never use this in life not going to lie, but instead we are teaching your brain how to think and you are learning new ways to expand your neural connections and make you an over all smarter person.

    The answer is that your brain is what you are always going to use in life, and this math class that you may find stupid is actually there is help to learn to problem solve, and expand your horizons and teach you skills you are going to use if you are going to further your studies in math, or school in general. I know that the probability i learned in math class helped me understand the concept of genetics. Stupid trigonometry helped me understand physics, and logaratims helped me understand how computers work..

    BUT. WHEN IS THIS STUFF I AM FORCED TO CRAM INTO MY BRAIN EVER GOING TO COME TO USE?
    to be honest. i dont think i'll ever need to know HOW photosynthesis happens, or how cellular respiration happens. I know what goes in, and what comes out in the end. BUT do i really need to know WHY? HOW? WHAT? what use is that ever going to be in life.
    "oh, that Pineapple tree is a CAM plant, it closes it's stroma in the day and thats when the Calvin cycle happens to produce sugar, and opens the stroma at night to collect CO2, and stores is an CAM to be used in the daytime"
    YAH, i am not ever going to use that knowledge in life.. saying that outloud doesnt even make you sound cool. NORMAL people stare at you funny and think you're weird D: !! I have no intentions to go into botany. This information is just going to go in one ear.. and 4 days later leave.

    I dont really care to know that there are 3 cycles to cellular respiration.
    NO NO NO.
    i liked it when it was simple and easy.
    You breath in Oxygen, and that combined with the sugars in our food our body uses to make energy and we breathe back on carbon dioxide.
    ugh, i can see why highschool biology was NOT a prereq. if you wanted to get into med school at my university for the longest time..

    The point is, I THINK when it comes to biology class, it really doesnt challange your brain the way that "useless" math we were forced to do did. Biology in my opinion is just a bunch of facts that we are forced to memorize. Theres no problem solving, no higher level thinking just CRAM CRAM CRAM. CRAM. THE CHALLENGE IS how much you can cram. ughhhh
    People only take biology because a) it's a pre-req for something.. or b) they just have an affinity for useless random knowledge

    And all this cramming is getting my brain too full and my brain is about to blow up D:

    ________________________________________________________________


    Wow this ended up being longer than i intended....

    WISH ME LUCK GUYS :D!!







    TAE YAANNNNNNNGGG <33

    isnt this such a depressing song?

  • using the middle finger in a picture;

    I have this thing regarding a finger gesture out there..
    not the classic yet over used peace sign.. but...

    when people put up the middle finger in a picture, thinking it's cool.

    What does it even mean. I know it means "ef you" BUT LIKE, REALLY?
    why are you swearing to the world. it's like going to a middle of a quite classroom in school and screaming EF YOU!! at the top of your lungs. No that does not make you cool. That kind of makes you look like a weirdo, potential scizo. you know the drill
    Posting a picture of yourself sticking up your middle finger thinking you're being all "cool" really screams out one thing.. angry idiot.

    Does it look professional?
    Does it look well mannered?
    Proper?
    Decent?
    any of the two or more above?

    It may be cool at first, but when you re-look at all your old photos when you are older, you wonder. Why in the world did i do that?

    When people use their middle finger in a picture it makes me think they are swearing to the world. Why are you swearing to everyone? WHY!? what happened that is so bad that you want to tell 6 billion people to ef off. Even as you are smiling, why are you telling everyone to ef off? please share

    It's such a stupid pose.
    It's so immature. Grow up.
    (this is my opinion, please dont bash me for having an opinion ; _____ ; !!)

    __________________________________________________

    ANYWAY.. so yesterday.. it was my friend's 19th birthday.
    He's one of my greatest friends out there..
    if only he would be nicer and stop calling me fat ugly immature and short D:
    but of course we just make fun of each other.

    Sooo, when it was time to order him a drink...
    Friend to Server: Soooo whats the most popular girly drink you guys have that you would probably recommend to her? *points to me*
    Server: Well, i would say the white peach bellini.
    Friend: OKAY good, now get one for that guy *points to birthday boy*

    YUMMMMYYY girly drinks on your 19th birthday!!!


    it's nice to have good friends that will pick you up when you are down and be with you through thick and thin

    yap, overall i would hope his birthday went well.. i was able to pawn over driving to the drunkies home :)
    (sorrry man!!).
    I also felt really bad for the server.. even though we got uber shitty service.

    now time to SUFFER THROUGH BIO LECTURES. YES! ... ugh.
    please someone. SAVVVVVVE MEE FROM DIS HORRROOORRZZ

    oh and glee tonight was REALLY good! i teared :(

  • Cute Old Couple.

    So it's time for yet another work story!!
    sooo, anyways there is this couple at work that have been there since day 1. They had a pretty good life, large house along the river, and a very successful business. etc.
    They used to go ballroom dancing on the weekends.
    She sang in the church choir for YEARRSS, and has a fantastic singing voice


    So anyways now that they are older life is not like that anymore.
    He's suffered a series of strokes and it's getting to him. He's very confused all the time, and has serious headaches that never go away. He can barely walk now, and he's always starring into space.
    she's suffering from Alzheimer's.. she cant comprehend little things, and now for some reason is acting more and more like a little energetic child. She also has no one to take her to church choir practicess, since she got her liscence confiscated and her children took away her car for speeding too much, so she had to quit singing.
    The two have been married for over 60 years!! and you can tell they love each other very much.

    But it's sooo cute when she is always going around giving everyone kisses on the cheek and after dinner before she leaves to go to her suite she kisses her husband on the cheek and he always looks so happy. it's sooo darn cute. When she recognizes someone she waves to them frantically with such a large smile on her face.
    She fetches his walker for him all happily and prances with it back to him, and no lies, it's soooo cute. She's such a cute little old lady.. except for the fact that her brain is deteriorating and she doesn't know what is going on half the time. She would always get excited over the smallest things, and was always smiling. I'm sure the entire staff has fallen in love with her.

    Today, i was giving her and her family coffee and she started dozing off, because she was tired after a long church session and she feel asleep on her son's arm. IT WAS SOO CUTE!!

    But anyways, she'll be moving out..
    and he's moving out tomorrow..

    She needs to be watched at all times, and he cant take care of her anymore, since he can barely take care of himself.
    SOOOO now heres the funny part..
    he's moving out tomorrow.. but as of 2pm today HE DOESNT KNOW, legit no idea.
    his children (who are probably still upset at his regarding what he has chosen to do with their estate) decided NOT to tell him. because they dont want hell to break lose.. or what they have told me..
    and she has no idea they are moving out either. But she is not leaving the same time as him. She has a week or so...and her kids are going to baby sit her till then...

    well i guess that wasnt funny unless you are highly sadistic..

    horrible, eh?

    i wonder how this is going to go...
    _________________________________________________________
    ANYWAYS..
    Now a product of my procrastination..
    I decided to play with my webcam..
    IM SLOWLY LEARNING HOW TO USE THIS!!
    gotta love my pajamas..
    and even though it looks like it. there is no make up or photo editing involved.. (like no lies)

    I look like i'm 10 D:





    TEDDY <3

     


    thats it for now.
    now everyone pray to all your gods that lena gets 100% on her psych midterm pt 2 tmw :)
    no jokes, i'm aiming for 100.

  • Love Is Blind.. like actually;

    there is an old saying that goes "love is blind" and another "to each their own"
    We all have our types, and little things that make one more attractive, be it a beard or maybe it's being attracted to dimples. It's just what we are attracted to. My weakness is glasses, not going to lie there.

    ANYWAYS, so the point is, you see couples out there and you wonder "seriously? is she really going out with him?" It makes you wonder why the cute little friend of yours is dating a HUGE doshhhh. Doesnt it make you wonder WHY?!? WHY!?! why is erika sawajiri married to a man that is old enough to be her father??! why why why is katie homles with tom cruise?! you know that kind of thing.

    So, it brings me to my story of the day.
    Last week, a girl at work called in incoherently drunk at 11, saying that she was quitting her job. My boss accepted it and was like, sure.. HEY GUESS WHAT EVERYONE ****** QUIT!! and crossed her off the schedule. She calls in later around 2 and says "yah, i'm not going to be able to make it to work today" and my boss goes "yah, i know. you called in and quit earlier".. so clearly she doesnt remember. She hung up, to only call back like 10 seconds later trying to get her job back, but not he didnt give it to her.

    So she retaliated by doing none other than... facebooking all of us that she had on facebook saying something along the lines of "yah guys i quit my job, and guess what *OUR BOSS* is cheating on his girlfriend with me"

    So, his girlfriend.. is none other than a girl I went to highschool with (she's my age). He's in his 30's, and he has a scary lumber jack type beard, tattoos galore and has a little buddha belly going. He spends his days at work smoking, and nights drinking and partying. He's a cool guy, not going to lie.. just probably not someone you want to be dating. When you see them together you wonder.. "really?, she's cute why him?". We've all told her she could do so much better but it goes nowhere

    She is so in love with him that she gave up her job to be with him. To each their own right?
    She's insanely blinded by love. She will believe everything he tells her. He told her he was going to change, to keep her going back to him.. but i dont really see one.

    So, us coworkers are today were trying to figure out..
    Was psycho bish that quit REALLY sleeping with boss?
    The logic is that, even though she was psycho and probably could kill us all and is most likely lying.. my boss is kinda the type that would sleep with any girl that wants to sleep with him. SO WHAT IF SHE'S RIGHT?

    But, if she's right he could lie about it to his girlfriend, who is so blinded by love that she would believe everything he tells her. Also the fact that this girl who supposedly was having an affair with my boss is kind of psycho (and called in once and threatened to ruin my boss' life) doesnt really help it. He has her under his spell and he is so madly in love she'll believe anything. (seriously she drove all the way to his place in a blizzard just to give him two pieces of sushi because he wanted it)

    Sticky thought right?
    I guess some people get to the point where they are so blinded by love, and have so much faith and trust in a person that they could get away with anything. Everyone wants that dont they? Someone that is so devoted to you, they will change everything about them and accept every little flaw about you to keep you. They are blinded by you, you and everything you do. They will do anything to keep you, anything.
    Love is love. And some people just show it in different ways.

    Thats my story of the day,

    ENJOY YOUR SATURDAY NIGHT.. as i sit here.. trying to read about the 4 senses... YAY..
    not really.. D:
