Konnichiwa Part One

Hey everyone,

I'm in japan again. and im here till august 19th. i really miss new york. the food, my friends, my family and the diversity. so let me update since my last post.

I read my last blog post and wow, im totally cool. lol jk but i was impressed that i've kept my resolutions. I have become a lot more "greener" and not in the incredible hulk way but in the way i view the earth. I have been eating lots of veggies, less processed foods, not using plastic bags and reusing items. Japan is a clean country. Literally, rabies-free, every garbage container has different compartments such as burnable garbage, plastic, paper and even ice. I try to buy products that are eco friendly not just because people may think its a phase but because compostable items are more helpful to the cause. im not calling myself an activist, in fact, i dont tell others what they should do but i believe that my actions may cause a influence and that influence a change.

Diet: ugh, who loves to diet? definitely not me. Japan has so many delicious dishes, i cant begin listing without salivating. Like i mentioned in my previous post, im doing a diet regimen to keep the weight off permanently. I mean at least 1 pound a week and my addiction to ice cream crepe to once a week. My fiancee who loves pasta, i eat it once a week as well. My breakfast is cereal with low fat milk, fruit or egg whites with greens. I make sure i eat some kind of color green whether it be green beans, lettuce zucchini or green tea. As for sugar, i have adapted to Splenda, a no calorie sugar.

Plans & the Future: Marco has a year left in Japan, we are eagerly trying to move to Ramstein AFB, Germany. Right now, our options look like either Los Angeles or Staten Island, NY. I am going to attend University of Maryland - Asia Campus if we do marry in time.

This blog is nonetheless about me. My feelings, the new ish, make-up, my life and the people in it.
Till next time. ciao, sayonara!
