my new toy.

so, i come home from waterloo today and i wonder where everyone is in the house. all of a sudden i hear heavy panting coming from the basement. a little curious and somewhat frightened, i made my way down the stairs and found my mother... furiously walking at a ridiculously fast pace, sweat dripping from her forehead... on our brand new treadmill.

surprise! that's right. my parents bought a new treadmill for the family to enjoy. probably the twentieth time they've bought something fitness-related off the home-shopping channel - and not only does the NordicTrack C2000 provide you with fast fat-burning results, it also comes with RejuvenAire Aromatherapy fans to cool you down while you're breaking a sweat. *blank pause* this thing in my basement isn't just any treadmill - it's the honkin' mother of all treadmills!

the purpose: for the entire family (namely me) to shed a few pounds before my cousin's wedding. yeeesh.

i must admit though, it looks mighty fun to play with, what with all the pretty display buttons and settings (i wonder what "extreme challenge" is like :oP)... definitely something i can see myself using to pass the time i should be using to be academically productive :o) *tee-hee* ... excellent!

in other news, i've handed in my intent to graduate (AHH!), and we've booked our flight for philippines on july 23rd :o) yay! i can't wait!
