I nearly forgot about NaNoWriMo but just as I was about to shut down my computer, I saw my little reminder on the calendar, opened a word processor and began typing. Ok, so I didn't really begin typing until 10 minutes ago, after curling my brow for a good thirty to forty minutes but who cares. I have 188 words in the kitty and it's only 1AM on the first day of November! Wheeeee!
Anyway, here's to 49,812 words left. Wish me luck. ^_^
…er!
I wasn't gonna make a big deal outta this but might as well — Happy Birthday to me! Wheeeee!
Ahhh… I can't sleep. The match is at 11:30AM later today (18 October). Petr Čech is now recovering after a successful surgery on the skull, Carlo Cudicini is recuperating as well. Hilario, our third keeper, will actually start! Although he's not spring chicken and has actually played in CL matches before there's still that whole “3rd keeper” role…. I'm confident, though, that he'll pull through and the defenders in Blue won't let that ball through to him.
Ballack's back and so is Joe Cole! Wii! Should be a fantastic match to watch. Ahhhh… I still can't sleep! Too excited! >_<
As if I do not have an already hectic schedule, I've decided to participate at this year's National November Writing Month — NaNoWriMo, for short. Go to that link for more information. I'm basically going to complete a 50k word novel (yes, that's 50,000) at the end of November. Yes, “basically”. Eep.
Anyway, last year, I was able to meet that goal and ended up with a finished, albeit unpolished, novel. I sort of have plans to complete last year's novel and probably have it published. Iono. I'm excited about this year, though. Granted, I haven't a clue what I'm going to write about, nor do I have a plot in mind, but it'll be a blast as usual!
So… any takers? ^_^

FIRST OFF, congratulations to my big sis Annelle. She finished her first evar half-marathon (that's thirteen and 1/10 miles for you running newbs!)
Notes:
As you can see, I have survived. It wasn't bad at all. A slight ache with my left knee but it was fine after the 1st mile. I'd rather have my sis write what happened in the 1/2 marathon cos this was her day but overall, it was not too bad at all. It was nice cos I ran with her all the way and afterwards, my sis told me that had I not ran side-by-side, she would've given up at mile 9! Wheeee! My first “success” story! 
Anyway, for any running newbies out there, if she can do it, YOU can do it, too! Seriously, just train though — don't go do what I did (now dubbed the “Irene Training Programme” — named after our friend, Irene, who has the habit of registering and running races with little training! EEP!), especially if it's your first time! Sheryl? OJ? Anyone? 
CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN, SIS! ^_^
T minus 2 days — or just about. My 13.1 mile-run is creeping up and the stress is kicking in. Normally, I'd be confident and say, I've trained well and my training will keep me going; well, in this case, I haven't really trained and it's no one else's fault but myself. Well, OK I'm gonna make some excuses right now: 1) I seem to train poorly in the summer; I did the same thing for my Chicago Marathon and that wasn't a very nice experience. That's about it. I'm blaming it on the lazy summer. Shyte.
Well, I'm not going to give up. I'll be cheesy and say, I'll carry on. I'll prolly be in so much pain on monday but I know I'll be finishing the stupid thing. UGH. Oh yah, I might do another 1/2 marathon in December — lol, the Los Angeles 1/2 marathon… Wanna join me?
Happy Birthday to my big sis Minel and li'l bro Jeri! WHEEEEEEEE.
Notes:
Burned a mere 449 calories during this daunting run; This is the first run I've done in months and now I'm scared for my half-marathon next week. I'm literally going to cram my training within this week, else suffer for 13.1 miles! WHAT THE HECH WAS I THINKIN' NOT TRAINING?! Anyway, I'm hoping to run a steady 5 miles tomorroz and then 8 miles on Thursday. Friday and Saturday are rest days as Sunday is race day. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!
