Give Me My Money, You Monkey!!

Before you think I went crazy with the title here, I'm referring to the money I've been able to ranked up with this fun slot machine game that I recently downloaded to my iPhone called Monkey Money. It's just like the real thing, baby!!!
Ok, so you can bet up to 25 lines and with each line you get a chance to win big money, including the jackpot which I haven't hit yet. If you end up winning something you could double your winnings playing the roulette or a game of chance. However if you lose that bonus game you winnings go back to $0, sorry boys and girls!
There's a Buttlerfly Bonus in which if you get 3 scattered butterflies you get to multiply to winnings by 5, 10, or 20 times playing a game of match.
And if you don't want to hit SPIN over and over guess what? You could push AUTOPLAY and just forget it, it'll continue paying for you until you get a Butterfly Bonus or a Jungle Feature so you can just see you earnings getting higher and higher (and lower and lower, too) much faster and without breaking a single sweat. Note: you cannot play roulette to double your earnings while on autoplay so if you want to double your earnings then avoid using autoplay in that case.
Once in a while you also get a Coconut Feature in which 3 monkeys compete to get to the top of a coconut tree and you're supposed to pick the winner to get bonus rounds.
All in all, Monkey Money is a very fun game to play, it's got very cool graphics and animation and it's freeeeee so hurry and download away...
Get Monkey Money everybody!!!

Wild West Update: By the way I've been playing Wild Wild West quite a bit lately and, even though I'm not in the big leagues or anything, I managed to moved my spot to 117,244th!! Exciting huh??? Ok, I guess not but I'll let you know when I make it to the Top Ten, which is almost impossible... Or is it??

Rant of the week: Did you know that JogBuddy was only a free trial??? Well, I didn't and now they want me to pay $1.99 to continue counting my steps, or my calories and the distance I've ran. If I wanted JogBuddy to do it is because it was free but now that they're trying to get greedy on me I'll say:

Fuck that JogBuddy and just give me Monkey Money...

Wow that'd be a cool title for a song, don't ya think?

Welcome To The Wild, Wild West

Just before I go to sleep I gotta say that I'm so addicted to this pinball game that I recently downloaded on my iPhone, it's called Wild West and it's FREE people!!!
I gotta tell you, I haven't played real pinball in such a long time that this is a real treat for me. So far I've managed to rank in 486303rd place with a score of 814,315.... Phew, I gotta tell you it's not easy but I figured if you shoot Dirty Harry once or twice and rob the bank a few times plus hitting those Indian villages have made me be where I am today, oh and the train track is so fun as well!!
So if you see me staring at my iPhone not talking to anybody don't distract me for I may be heading for the 486302nd spot!!!!

Yeehaaayyy

She Works Hard For The Money

I love it when you start watching a movie expecting something ordinary and end up watching something extraordinary with such witty dialogue and such fun and complex characters that you fall in love with them (Case in point: Miss Pettigrew, Delysia Lafosse), the story (a woman is torn between the love of 3 different men), the backset (1930's pre-war London).
So Miss Pettigrew Lives For a Day looked pretty simple and I was afraid it was gonna be another babysitter story with bratty kids running around in circles and having to deal with house chores and an annoying housewive and possibly an absent husband. But I was glad to see this is no Mary Poppins (nothing against Mary Poppins, of course) but it turned out to be that the woman Miss Pettigrew (the wonderful Frances McDormand, from Fargo) ended up working for was so delightful and lovable that every time that Delysia Lafosse (Amy Adams) was on the screen you just couldn't help but to love her character: she's an ambitious American who happens to have 3 men in her life and cannot make up her mind which one of her 3 suitors best suits her. When Miss Pettigrew comes in the picture (which by the way has a sad backstory of her own), Delysia Lafosse is sleeping with one young man (the one that has promised her the role of her career in show business) while the other one (the one that owns the "flat" where she lives in) is coming up the elevator and so Delyssia and Miss Pettigrew, who is unwillinglly being her accomplice, has to get rid of the first man before they cross paths. It's such a delirious scene, played with such gusto and such wit that you know that you're in for a fun ride.
There is one man though who is trying to win her heart just by offering to love her and wants to swoop her away to New york City, where she could be just as famous and forgives her for anything she's done to him, he knows this woman and how she's cheating on all 3 men but he doesn't care now, he's already been in jail and the only thing he wants is sweet and oh so naive Delysia to complete his life.
And Miss Pettigrew cannot agree more. Even though Delysia may seem shallow (which she is), naive (yep) and untalented (that's debatable, but has a wonderful voice as you will hear Amy Adams singing "If I Didn't Care" along with the man she really loves at the end of this long day), this wonderful woman has a heart hidden deep inside and it show when she realizes what she really wants is not fame nor fortune but true love.
There are so many scenes that I like in this movie. There's an incredible scene in which Delysia has thrown a party in her flat in order for one of her suitors to announce whether or not she's gotten the part that she was looking for and suddenly you hear planes coming announcing that a war is coming this way, I don't know whether is the metaphor or just the way the scene was shot but it certainly deserves recogntion. Also the costume design for everyone in this film is superb. There's also a scene where Delysia is taking Miss Pettigrew shopping for new clothes when they come across a clothing store window where mannequins are wearing gas masks with very fashionable dresses underneath, it's such a clever scene which sets the tone of the movie just right, a little shock of reality among such glamour.
All the while Miss Pettigrew who hasn't had a decent meal in a very long time also falls in love with this designer who is unavailable yet he's very drawn to Miss Pettigrew's honesty. Miss Pettigrew is just a sweet but unfortunate soul who just wants to make ends meet, and along the way develops a real good friendship with Delysia, who has only employed her for a single day yet that's all it takes to transform Miss pettigrew's life upside down... and possibly find true love herself?
Well, you'll just have to see since this is one movie that I wouldn't want to spoil for you, I'd say watch it with a loved one or watch it alone, but you will certainly feel the love in the air after watching this movie.

For Your Consideration:

Amy Adams for Best Supporting Actress
Frances Mc Dormand for Best Actress
Miss Pettigrew... for Costume Design, Cinematography, Adapted Screenplay, and hell, why not Best Movie of the Year??

Hearing a Who?

Of course, I'm talking about Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who.
This is one movie from Dr. Seuss that I've really enjoyed. I mean, there was Carrey doing his crazy impersonation of Mr. Grinch in his over the top performance in Ron Howard's How The Grinch Stole Christmas back in 2000 which was fine, a little too much but still a pretty good personification, then we had The Cat In the Hat (with Mike Myers) which I decided to never watch (I heard it got bad reviews, anyways).
Now there's yet this new Dr. Seuss adaptation which had gone from live action to fully animated, starring Jim Carrey as Horton the Elephant and Steve Carrell as the Mayor of Whoville, among other good stars as Carol Burnet (She's an evil kangaroo who is out to get Horton), Seth Rogen, and other people I don't even know since they're just lending their voices to the characters. Even at one point I thought Horton and the Mayor were both Jim Carrey but it turned out that the Mayor is voiced by Steve Carrell, who was great in this movie)
At first I was hesitant to see it just afraid that it would be a bad rendition of the Dr. Seuss' book (which I will admit I haven't read yet but I'll be interested in reading it, one of these days, I'm sure I can read it in like an hour, but I'm a little rusty in my book reading so I guess I should start with children's books and work my way up to The DaVinci Code which I've been wanting to read for a long time.
Anywhoville, so the story is about an Elephant named Horton who hears a little tiny voice coming from this little tiny spec that happened to be flying through the jungle of Nool which is such a cozy and whimsical jungle full of menacing monkeys, an angry kangaroo with her baby kangaroo in her pouch, a little mouse who is Horton's best friend, among other funny characters (like the vulture Vlad, who is hired by the evil Kangaroo to get rid of Horton and his tiny world in a spec which he guards with his life. It turns out that this tiny spec so small holds this world where the Whos live and is run by a good Mayor of Whoville who one day happens to hear Horton's voice through a pipe and is faced with the fact that his perfect little world depends entirely on this gentle giant who turns out a very noble and determined character, he inspires everyone that gets to meet him and, although his archenemy the Kangaroo tries to get her way and be right all the time, Horton proves her wrong and shows her that not always "seeing is believing", sometimes you gotta trust your instincts.
I believe this story, just like every other Dr Seuss book carries a great message that everyone should be treated equally no matter who they are. Neither should you underestimate this little movie that could, either.

Quotable Quote (provided by Horton The Elephant):

''Even though you can't see or hear them at all, a person's a person, no matter how small''.

Buddy Language

I got a new buddy and my buddy loves me.
Sounds corny? Oh, well, I'll tell you about him: I was browsing through the apps for a spedometer or something that will count my steps or measure how much I've been jogging or walking during my workout and I found the perfect match with JogBuddy (For Men in blue, don't worry cause there's one that's For Women as well, in pink no less) and besides counting your steps it also tells you when you've reached one mile or when you've completed your goal, even while you're listening to your favorite music.
It was funny cause I was running (sometimes walking too) when I heard ths voice that said: Congratulations You've reached your goal!! And i got a bit scared and confused until I realize it was my buddy telling me that I had completed my first mile in the workout.
I love the fact that you can be walking to your car or walking through the grocery store or just walking wherever, just forgetting that you have set your JogBuddy and when you've finished and finally have time to look at your iPhone, you've already burned a few calories (just the other day I burned 180 calories while shopping at Target... Who said shopping is not beneficial??I couldn't be more happy with the application for my iPhone which is FREE, that's right there's a LITE version which I think is just fine for me since that's all that I needed in my application.
And that's all that I was looking for in a buddy. I love my JogBuddy, and you will too!!! Get your own JogBuddy now before they raise their price!!
Like Freddy Mercury would have sung in Body Language:

Give me buddy give me buddy buddy
Give me your buddy
Don't talk don't talk don't talk don't talk
Baby don't talk

The Politics Are Dancing

I love when a real man is not afraid of showing your dancing skills on The Ellen DeGeneres show on National TV, I swear this is a man you can really relate to, a President who's not afraid to have a good laugh, and a good time while at the same time be very knowledgeable and proffesional. Shake that bombom, Obama, shake it, shake it!!! LOL

Do I Have Your Vote?

Ok so if you haven't followed up with my pal James Paul and his fellow designers Reko, Ana and Daniella in the Fashion Show on Bravo, it's not too late...
Tomorrow the final four contestants will show their whole collection for the world to see and I'm proud to say that I got to see this live at Cipriani at Wall Street in NYC. As you may (or may not) know I was able to hang out with Reko, Andrew Christian, Angel and James Paul the day after the fashion show had ended and we had a great time having wonderful breakfast over by Chelsea area, it was called Vynil where the menu that came along had covers for vynil albums from the 70's and 80's and an era gone by, it's a wonderful concept, isn't it? I think I got Lionel Ritchie and Dean got The Go-Go's, as I can recall (this information has nothing to do with anything but, oh well, you should be used to me by now, right?).
Now it's time for us to do something for our dear friend James Paul. He has asked for everyone to please vote for him either through the website or by phone as well, I don't recommend that, cuz they charge 99 cents each time you text your vote, just go online and vote there, will ya?
So it's almost over: the drama, the fashion, the deadlines, the bitching, the hair pulling. All of it has come to this, so please vote for James Paul... And if you're not voting for James Paul then don't vote at all!!! Do us all a favor and stop reading my blog LOL
Remember it's only tomorrow so the more votes you do the better chances of him winning the contest. It's for a great cause, and it's free so let's go!! Everybody vote!!

Who Needs Enemies?

Just to be fair I was extremely tired when I went to see Public Enemies last week with my baby. At one point in the movie I was dozing off (why, not me!!) and I got a rude awakening from some guys shooting at each other on the big screen.
So the story was based on the crime spree that John Dillinger (Johnny Depp) along with his prison buddies committed in real life back in the 1930's. We see them escaping a prison right from the get go in a very synchronized yet disastrous way to break from prison. The movie opened really good and stuff, I mean it's freaking Johnny Depp on what's probably his comfort zone playing a rebel in the 1930's so he could emulate some of his favorite movie stars from back in the Golden days like Humphrey Bogart or Cary Grant. His hair is slick and combed back and he definitely looks the part perfectly.
Then he falls in love with Marion Cotillard (she won Best Actress for La Vie En Rose last year, which I must see, I heard she was great in it) who plays his girlfriend Billie Frechette, who loves her man unconditionally and even though he's a criminal and a menace to society, she still has feelings for him. It's like an obsession that develops, really. He's so suave and cool but has short dialogues with her and doesn't reveal much to her, only what she needs to know (when she asks him to tell her what he's all about, he summarizes his life story in less than one minute and then they move on, there's little time to be wasted here).
The one aspect of the movie that I didn't like was the way it was filmed. At some part of the movie when the characters were fleeing from a bank they just finished robbing or when they were escaping from the police or whenever there was action they changed from a steady cam to those annoying, hand held cameras that reminding me of The Blair Witch Project. I don't understand whether it was intentional or not but it made the scene so blurry and just unwatchable. They should have done a little grainier picture to reflect that the movie took place in the 30's, remember the drama Murder In The First? It was shot in black and white when they were interviewing the guards in Alcatraz and it made you feel like you were trapped in that era. Or Schindler's List which was also shot in B&W but giving a little hint of color (especially when shooting that little girl and her red coat). I'm not saying that it should have been shot in B&W but the movie could have used another effect that it made you think of the era which the characters were portraying. It could have made the movie a little more memorable, instead of the HD crap which works fine when it's Transformers but not Public Enemies.
In short, the movie is kind of plain and just describing facts that happened back in the day. Christian Bale has a very plain role, in my opinion, as the prosecutor that wants to see John Dillinger behind bars. The problem is that John Dillinger cannot be behind bars too long, sometimes he doesn't even stay the night and he already has an escape plan and before they know it he's escaped again. They were so naive in those days that if a hoodlum was to be transported back in time into the 30's anybody will for sure escape with no problem. It goes to show you how the criminal mind used to work before, I believe these criminal minds were sometimes ahead of their time and just a little bit ahead of everyone else. However we haven't evolved too much, otherwise terrorist attack, like in 9/11, wouldn't have happened if we had increase security measures and just try to be ahead of the terrorist's minds but there will always be someone so smart that will plot how to rob a bank or escape from prison and run circles around security guards, or the police.
Especially if you have automatic weapons, like the ones they sport in this movies.
And why do they have to be so loud?? It was like having firecrackers go off from behing the theatre, it was certainly an annoyance, especially if you wanted to take a little nap. How dare they!! Gosh!!!

Long Live The King (Of Pop)

I've been working on the right thing to write about Michael Jackson. Something that hasn't already been said, or heard on the news which seems to be all about Michael Jackson and his fortune, his will, whether his kids are really his kids or not, whether he was overdosing himself, whether he was really innocent or just played one for all people to believe...
I could write all 'bout that... or just write about his music, how his songs touched my life and probably your life too. I remember Michael Jackson very fondly in the early 80's with his red life jacket vest in his video Thriller and just fascinated about this new sensation that was Michael Jackson. I'll be honest: I was a big fan of Michael, too. And no matter what people speculated about his sexual behavior towards those children and whatever happened or didn't happened in his bedroom, behind closed doors, I will always remember Michael for his work of art, his music, his videos, his persona that we will not have another one the same.
I've come up with my Top Ten List for the King of Pop, and I want to send a prayer out for Michael and his family, it's tough for everyone to believe what's happened to him but we must look at all the joy he's brought us through his music, and when you hear these songs, don't be surprised if a tear or two just come out bursting just remembering the man he used to be before the scandals and his seclusion. May forever live the King of Pop. Here's my 2 cents:

10. We Are The World
I almost didn't include this song in the Top Ten Michael Jackson's songs for some reason I thought the song had lost its meaning and it was a little bit outdated by now, I mean who remembers the true meaning of it all, the recognizable voices you could hear throughout this homage to the children of Africa who this song was intended to: there was the raspy voice of Bruce Springsteen, the loud yet hilarious Cyndi Lauper singing: Well, well, well, weeeeell..., then there was Stevie Wonder, Kenny Loggins, Diana Ross, Tina Turner and, of course, Michael Jackson who wrote this song along with Lionel Ritchie and helped raised many million of dollars towards Africa relief due to a severe drought that affected back in 1984 to 1985 when this song came out. It took many people to record the song but many of them were actually turned down while others didn't show up (ahem Prince ahem) but overall the single was a huge success.
The reason that has so much resonance today is cuz it was sung today during his memorial inside the Staples Center where everybody went onstage and were seen singing this song with so much passion and mixed emotions of joy and sadness which made me quickly realize that this song will live forever in everyone's minds, even in Cassandra's blog not too long ago was writing about it and we both agreed it had to make it in the Top Ten. Any problem with that??? I didn't think so LOLOL

9. The Way You Make Me Feel
Isn't this the song where he was harassing that model/actress all over the street and wouldn't let her pass? Poor girl, yet great song so Michael ultimately wins!

8. Remember The Time
Now this video is legendary and of course the song is too. But who can forget the special effects in this extraordinary video where he's entertaining the Egyptian royalty played by Eddie Murphy (in his prime here)along with magic Johnson and other artists that I forget. Remember how he dissapears in fron of everyone's eyes and turns to sand, that was amazing!!

7. I'll Be There
I honestly strted liking this song after I heard Mariah Carey giving her own rendition of this song in the MTV Unplugged concert back in the early 90's, the lyrics are so powerful and just so mature for a cute little boy that the song trascends genders, age and everything else, it was such a powerful song back in 1970 as it is still today when Mariah sang the same song in his memorial today.

6. Thriller
Ok, I know it's been overplayed on the radio and endlessly played on MTV. But, c'mon, you still don't think this is by far the best video ever??? Sorry Madonna and Bjork but this video surpassed everyone's expectations and certainly changed the face of MTV and catapulted him into stardom. Honestly I don't remember him much with 1979's Off The Wall which was a little bit disco and therefore not very cool by now, however Thriller came along like a breeze of such cool premise that nobody could help but be fascinated with Michael Jackson. But, most of all, the coolest thing about this song has got to be a 14 minute video that was directed by John Landis who had recently finished directing the greatest werewolf movie of the 80's , An American Werewolf in London which was so scary yet very funny at the same time that it created its own ramification's of horror and comedy that still exists today.
My fondest memory was when back in school we decided to perform Thriller for everyone in my School that year, must have been 84 or 85 I don't remember but i clearly remember that I was a zombie that was coming from behind the bushes ready to do the choreography dance with Michael Jackson (who was played by my wonderful friend Cecilia, I will never forget how nervous she was to go onstage but she fit the part just perfectly) when all of a sudden the music stops... and everyone is looking around to see what was going on, all the zombies were on stage already, about to have the dance-off but somebody must have pulled the plug or something... when suddenly everyone realizes that my foot got stuck with the power cord and it was my fault the performance was an almost disastrous one except everyone was laughing their asses off in the audience and in the end I helped the show to be a complete success. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.


5. One Day In Your Life
This song is jus a hidden gem that nobody seems to remember. It was from his 1975 album Forever Michael and the song has so much meaning for me that I don't want to go into detail. Basically is the way people touch you in your life and how, regardless of anything you do or anywhere you go, the memories will follow you and haunt you. It's so extremely sad with the harmonica but it's just one song that Michael sang with so much passion and in such a soft voice that didn't come across as sarcastic or vengeful but a real love letter written to a person that, for some reason, has stepped out of your life but you can't help remembering from time to time.
Here are the lyrics:

One day in your life
You'll remember a place
Someone touching your face
You'll come back and you'll look around, you'll...

One day in your life
You'll remember the love you found here
You'll remember me somehow
Though you don't need me now
I will stay in your heart
And when things fall apart
You'll remember one day...

One day in your life
When you find that you're always waiting
For a love we used to share
Just call my name, and I'll be there

You'll remember me somehow
Though you don't need me now
I will stay in your heart
And when things fall apart
You'll remember one day...

One day in your life
When you find that you're always lonely
For a love we used to share
Just call my name, and I'll be there

4. Wanna Be Startin' Something
Just a great groove and a great way to start the best selling album of all time Thriller. I really didn't care much for it back then but now that I hear it, it has become so hugely popular and even sampled in many other songs tody that it's hard not to get up and just dance you ass off to this beat. The chan that it's sang in the end: "Mama-se, mama-sa, ma-ma-coo-sa" is actually an African chant, especifically from Cameroon and it's so joyous and contagious that it elevates this dance track to a different level never heard or done before, at least not in pop music. So Michael here again took a pretty risky chance but it ultimately paid up and it became into one of his most popular songs ever...
Sang along now:

Mama-se, mama-sa, ma-ma-coo-sa
Mama-se, mama-sa, ma-ma-coo-sa
Mama-se, mama-sa, ma-ma-coo-sa

C'mon everybody, let's dance!!!!!!!!

3. Rock With You
This song was my number one for a while, and it still is one of my favorite songs of Michael, from the very moment that he starts singing :

Girl, Close Your Eyes
Let That Rhythm Get Into You
Don't Try To Fight It
There Ain't Nothin' That You Can Do
Relax Your Mind
Lay Back And Groove With Mine
You Got To Feel That Heat
And We Can Ride The Boogie
Share That Beat Of Love

[Chorus]
I Wanna Rock With You (All Night)
Dance You Into Day (Sunlight)
I Wanna Rock With You (All Night)
We're Gonna Rock The Night Away

That's all you had to listen before you've submerged into the groovy and soothing voice that had surely matured from his early days of Jackson 5 into a handsome and very charismatic persona which I will always cherish. I know he went through so many surgeries and many other methods that really took a toll on Michael (and I believe that's what ultimately killed the King of Pop) but it was in this era where he looked his very best and was just so handsome and had so much talent and a bright future in the music business. It was probably with this song that put him in the spotlight back in 1979 and prepared everybody to his upcoming Thriller which made history in the music industry and in the whole world, too.
We want to rock with you always, Michael!


2. Don't Stop 'Till You Get Enough
Very close call with this song from the breakthrough that was 1979's Off The Wall. If you don't want to just get your butt off that chair and start immediately dance to this song then you're a real prune. Especially when he first lets out that scream and then the orchestra goes ballistic, so do we. A litle known fact is that Michael's mom when she heard the lyrics of the song was appalled at the sexual innuendos in the song but it was Michael wh convinced her that the lyrics had nothing to do with sex (I didn't think so either) and so he continued working on this track. Michael loved the beat so much that he couldn't stop humming it all the way from the studio to his home in Encino, that's how good the song was. Maybe not a good video... what was up with the background here? surely needed much improvement but oh well, the song makes up for it. Whoever said that Disco Is Dead probably never heard this song, obviously!




Ready for the number 1 Michael Jackson's song of all time? Really? You haven't figured it out yet?? Sorry, it's not Ben (sorry, honey) or Black or White nor Smooth Criminal ; although all great tracks, maybe you should comment with your own Top Ten Michael Jackson Songs Of All Time??? But there's just one song that made music history, and that song is:




1. Billy Jean
It was very hard having to decide whether I liked Billy Jean better than Rock With You but I made up my mind. I guess it was his live performance of this song when he started moonwalking (OMG Are my eyes deceiving me? Is he floating on air? Is this humanly possible?, Etc, etc, etc), but also it's a great song and I could watch that video over and over. I thought it was such a cool video for its time and, although it wasn't such a big production like Thriller was it was still another memorable video that I would hardly ever forget. Besides if you listen to the first 10 seconds of the intro, it sounds so futuristic, mysterious, like nothing I'd heard before and his voice is so afflicting that you don't know whether to feel sorry for him or Billy Jean but you trust he's telling the truth when he admits that the kid is not his son.
Sure, Michael, we believe you.
Actually the song was directed to a fan of Michael's who claimed that he was the father of one of the twins, actually she wanted Michael to admit that he was the father but Michael continued ignoring her until she threatened to kill her baby and suggested Michael Jackson to do the same. Of course, she later ended up in a psychiatric hospital for her mental illness (??) Wow, little known facts that I just didn't know.

Ok, boys and girls, that concludes another Top Ten lists which I hadn't done for a while... I remembered why though, it takes so freaking looooong!! But I'm so glad I did it and I dedicate this blog entry to the greatest icon in Rock n Roll History, hope you have come up with your Top Ten or just Top Three, just let me know which ones I omitted and I'll gladly... change nothing LOL But I'll appreciate what you have to say still.
The King is dead... Long live the King of Pop Forever!!

Free Car Wash, Anybody?

So it turns out that today was the second day in my new diet which is supposed to have been under 1500 calories... Wait a minute, wait up, I know what you're thinking. You think that I probably blew it by eating a Double Double or a Big Mac or something but no, surprisingly enough I did much better yesterday by eating my mom's own beef stew with rice than today by eating a tiny salad with a bitty piece of steak. The problem is when I got home and I had realized that I was still hungry and, after finishing eating my ham wheat sandwich (255 calories), I ended up caving in to my mom's request for a White Russian which is a big no-no in the diet world. The creamy drink which is made with Kalua, Vodka (although we used Pisco), and Cream sums up to a 360 calorie cocktail. Can you believe this? After everything I was doing today I decided to blow it all with a little cocktail. Just for the record it was mighty good, too LOLOL
Anyway, the worst is over, I'm done eating for tonight and all I'm driking now is pure water, the best guilt-free ingredient on anyone's diet, and that's all I'll be drinking tonight and that's about it... I swear...
So I was just browsing in Livestrong.com through some of the exercises I could be doing to burn those extra calories and still make it under 1,500 cals a day. So it turns out there's an infinity of things I could do, some things I never really thought about but, now that I know what they are, I'll think or doing these activities in a heartbeat:

Laundry - doing

This activity burns approximately
195 calories per hour

Traveling (walking and riding)

This activity burns approximately
181 calories per hour.
I don't think they ought to twist my arms to do this activity... at all!
Dancing
This activity burns approximately
456 calories per hour.
Just get your earpieces on, play some Madonna and you're all set, right honey?

Christmas - shopping for presents

This activity burns approximately
209 calories per hour. Shopping for Christmas presents can turn into a low-impact cardio workout with a little planning! Walking at a moderate to fast pace while browsing different stores can increase the heart rate and give the legs and thighs a total body workout. Carrying presents in bags and totes will add some resistance weight to your distance.


Food shopping: with or without cart

This activity burns approximately
288 calories per hour.
Now, take out your credit cards... and... GO!
