Die With a “T”

So I never fully understood the Garfield joke “Die with a ‘t'” until now.

The lab results says my cholesterol is 241. My HDL is 46 (way low) and my LDL is 163 (way high). Everything else in my blood test was normal. So now I need to lose 10 pounds, exercise pretty much almost daily for 30 to 40 minutes, and not eat as many saturated foods… A diet. Die with a ‘t’. I need to schedule a follow-up doctor’s appointment in 3 months. *sigh* I think I’ll schedule a complete physical that day, too.

Walking around Nijiya while shopping for dinner foods sucked. There were all these yummy looking snacks and candies lying about… It calls to me… Today I was strong, but tomorrow? I hope I still am… *sigh* It’s going to be a long 3 months.

I Drool For Chocolate

About two weeks ago, I went to the Irvine Spectrum with a few of my high school friends after looking at the Fun With Chalk event and we came across a chocolate store. I’m not one to turn down any kind of chocolate so we walked in. I’m finishing up my 2nd bar now and I want more! They have got to be one of the best chocolates I’ve tasted. I got a nutmeg chocolate bar and a spicy maya chocolate bar. Mmm, guuud.

Playstation 3

I finally managed to get the Playstation 3 from one of my coworkers for the good price. It took a while to even get it off of him, which I totally blame his friend for, but at least I saved money now.

Right now I’m setting it up to play Final Fantasy XI. The keyboard I’ve been using to play FFXI seems to lock up the PS3, so I’m going to have to go buy a new one… (It was a sucky keyboard, at least now I have a better reason to get a new one than the keys are stiff.) I’m also going to have to pick up a PS3 HDMI cable so I can view the pretty Blu-Ray DVDs… Like Pirates of the Caribbean. *drool*

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End

I was a bit worried that the movie would turn out as bad as Spiderman 3 after I saw rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but actually it wasn’t all that bad. I enjoyed it. It definitely wasn’t at the level of the first movie, but I think it was good overall. The fight scenes were a bit longer than I would have liked, and the story line was a bit twisty.

After the movie, I wanted to get the PotC: At World’s End video game for the Wii. I knew it wasn’t going to be that great and the guy at the video game store was like, “are you sure?” … Maybe the next time that happens, I’ll just go… ‘Hmm, you’re right!’ and Just drop everything and leave the store.

High Cholesterol Level…

I got a letter from Saint John’s Hospital about my blood donation… My blood type is AB positive (I already knew that), and my cholesterol level is… 228! >_< Noooo!! That’s higher than before, but this test was done while I wasn’t fasting so my real score might be lower. I hope it’s under 200… >_<; I need to go set up an appointment with my doctor to have a real blood work up done.

Wow. I died a lot. I wonder what other people’s death count is at. My play time is almost at 132 days. Nice! (Although, some people will say that is a sad number…) ^_^

Momo 5 and 6

Eeek! There are still episodes that I haven’t watched of ‘Hanayome wa yakudoshi!’ It’s so early in the morning, I need to go to bed. Such a good drama. I might has well watch the episodes I have watched over again when I get to it.

Diabolos, COME AND GET ME! WAIT, I’m not ready yet!!

Thanks to one of my friends in FFXI, I managed to finish the mission right before the Diabolos fight. I really like the CoP story line and I really want to see it finished, especially before the new expansion pack comes out at the end of the new year.

Speaking of which, I’m hoping my US PS2 drive doesn’t fail on me before the game is out. It’s having a hard time reading DVDs sometimes. I think it doesn’t read burned DVDs at all, which isn’t too much of a problem since I still have my JP PS2.
