KAYA KO

Had a conversation with my mom last January when she was here. She asked me why am I a vegetarian. I simply answered, "Kasi po kaya ko." HAHA. My reason is so lame but I have no other reason in doing so now. I started not eating chicken, beef and pork last October 2010. Even before then, I already had around 20-25 pounds weight loss. Since I realized that I can live not eating meat, I finally decided to make it official and not eat those, even in small amounts. I ate steamed fish, fruits and vegetables. Last November 2011, I decided to be a lacto-ovo vegetarian, meaning I will also not eat fish. And why again? Because my classmate, Marica, told me about lacto-ovo vegetarianism since she was curious of what kind of vegetarian I am. I was then a Pescetarian (fish-eater) and since I heard the 'lacto-ovo vegetarian' thing, I googled (haha) it and figured out that I can do away with not eating fish also. HAHA. And so, from then on, I lived with boiled tofu, boiled eggs, vegetables and fruits. I eat wheat bread sometimes and I am guilty with eating biscuits (not so healthy food). Also, the last time I drank softdrinks was December 2009.

Last July, Joylinn (a classmate) challenged (haha) me not to eat ice cream. Challenge accepted! HAHA. Up until now, I have not tasted ice cream. BUT had some cups of frozen yogurt last year (which is technically, NOT ICE CREAM). I drink shakes and milk teas. I told myself that come 2012, I will eat ice cream already but I don't know why my "pride" goes in the way saying that, "you lived for 7 months without eating ice cream, you can continue living that way."

Since last month, I have been eating a lot and gained around 6 pounds this early February. My mom summoned me when she came home. She was quite mad because of my lifestyle (lacto-ovo vegetarian eating + 2-4 hours of daily sleep). She thinks that I am already malnourished and at my thinnest state (OA pero may konting katotohanan. HAHA).

Why am I doing all of these? Bakit? Pumayat na ako e. Back then, I just wanted to lose weight. And I did. I am around 30 pounds of weight loss already.

BAKIT?


My only reason is because KAYA KO. As simple as it is, because kaya ko.

I sort-of hate this attitude of me but then I continue, because again, kaya ko.

Yay.
