...HERE!
Mundane23.07.09
After breakfast, Odd and I normally hang out on the balcony to bask under the early sunshine. With a cup of hot tea on hand I pratted away while Odd was preoccupied reading the newspaper.
I usually blabber stuff about how fat I look which drives him nuts. I know that I tend to do that because I am so insecure about myself. It’s weird that how much I lost a lot of weight I still see a fat person looking back at me everytime I faced the mirror. But I am slowly working on it to change how I perceived myself.
Then Odd looked at me and said with a faint smile “My dear you’re always beautiful.”
“You’re just saying that because you’re my husband,” I retorted with a pout on my lips.
“Here we go again,” he said with a perturbed look on his face. “I am telling you that you’re beautiful not because that I love you but for the fact that it’s true.”
I smiled. He stood up when he saw that and kissed me on the lips.
“Let’s go to the shower,” he whispered in my ear. “Since I am going to work and you’re meeting your father in the city before he travels to the north,” he added.
“Oh,” I checked my mobile phone in my pocket for the time. “You’re right. I almost forgot.”
I met my father in the city while Odd was at work. We had lunch and took a tour on top of Fløyen. The view from the top is so breathtaking especially in a nice summer weather. So I took a snap with my Nokia 5800 since I forgot to bring a camera.
Bergen is a stunning city and very picturesque. It’s the only place where I feel patriotic and proud to call my home. This is the city where my father was born though he now lives on the countryside which is a thirty-minute drive away.
We hiked back down to the city’s main street. By the time we’re back, Odd was already done with his work which was quite convenient. So we bid farewell to my father as we went back home to change for gym.
We trained at Elexia which is a very nice gym and it is not far from where we live. It’s just a fifteen-minute walk. We stayed there working out for an hour and a half. I usually train five to six times a week while Odd does three due to his busy schedule. I just hope that I will still manage to train normally when I am back at school and working part-time.
“The road to good health is such a hell,” I told Odd as we hauled our tired asses back home. He just nodded as he looked at me with those beautiful green eyes. I sighed.
Back at home we made some light dinner but not after fooling around a bit. *wink*
That’s all.
P.S.
There’s a contest at The Stiletto Effect and the deadline is July 24, by midnight (PST)! So join now and win a fabulous “Elizabeth and James” tee!

You and Odd have a good time together, don’t you? YOU ARE NOT FAT!!!!! I do understand when you have been fat that no matter how thin you get, YOU still see a fat person…BUT, eventually you will see a THIN person…..Now, I’ve gone back the other way….I got used to seeing a thin person and NOW, I really am fat and it’s taken me a while to actually SEE that I am now truly waaaaay overweight!
But you? You look as light as a feather, to me, my dear…..! (lol)
Thank you Naomi! I am telling my self that I am thin everyday especially when I am in front of the mirror.
I love your new (?) design! Stunning!
Thank you Mia! It’s not a new design and actually I got this from Derek Punsalan which I customised to fit my needs.
HOTNESS – for the shirtless shot.
COOLNESS – enjoying coffee on a balcony (look at Odd’s shirt, it speaks for itself)
STUNNING – the view how captivating.
HEALTHINESS – Gym.. ohnoes.
WINKNESS (no such word, haha) – what can I say? Except that that you still manage to keep your slipper on while you’re on top of the sink. Suddenly, I’m feeling better haha.
I didn’t realise that my slippers were on until you pointed it out hehehehe.
Bah, most all of us are insecure in our own ways. You have no reason to be though
That’s true and now I am finding ways how to overcome my insecurities which is quite hard.
i soooo luv that final picture and the light’s effect on it’s totality and is so sexy too! love it! love it!
but before anything else let me remind you that you shouldn’t even feel insecure about anything, you’re not even fat! c’mon at least give yourself some credit for that. trust me!
Thank you Kaitlin! Actually I just used the camera on my phone to take that.
Check out your abs!
Bergen is a lovely city! I remember that view where you took the photo, and we would love to have some of the cafes famous Bergen fiskesuppe…although that may not be on your diet
I’m really glad you have Odd, he is a good guy and you deserve that in your life!
Indeed! I haven’t tried the fiskesuppe yet but Odd and I were planning to have some in this fish restaurant in the city.
You’re back! YAY!
Ikaw talaga! My dear you are beautiful inside and out (and so is Odd). You look good together! Stop being so insecure.
Very good photos btw. Love Bergen too! Love Yah!
Thank you and love you too ate!
I love to fool around sometimes but lately I have not been able to do so … Bah. I love the breathtaking view, it is beautiful.
Hey, one day when I go there, make sure you tour me around too, okay?!
Of course, I’ll be your personal tour guide!
So good to see you back in Norway where you belongs and doing normal things as new married
You know I’ve been to Bergen a lot of times and it was there we met the first time too – Fløyen is my fave place!
Yeah I remember the first time we met in Bergen and I still have the photo of the three of us sitting outside a cafe.
You don’t look fat at all!Ü
You took lovely photos. The Bergen photos didn’t even look like they were taken from a cam phone. Ang galing!
Thank and honestly I am also amazed with the photo quality of my phone’s camera.
Ha, you think you are fat: you should see me
Bergen looks like a nice place indeed, I hope to visit the city one of these years so that I can take a cruise ship that will show me the beauty of the Norwegian fjords.
That view is breathtaking already.
LOL! You should visit Bergen and I’ll definitely tour you around!
Dear Chase – the fact that you’ve shown your half naked body means that you have confident in yourself, which is important. And the last photo… gosh, is there really you and Odd? lol
I’m now sort of settle down with my new house and so I think I will try to cook something new soon. After that, I’ll come back to my blog.
You certainly don’t look fat to me!
Sounds like a wonderful life too
Good lord! Where did those abs come from?? Haha wow, you’ve come a loooong way with your fitness! Good job
I am so happy that you’re totally in newly-wedded bliss. You two are the cutest!
chase, darling, you are a gazillion miles from fat. you’re beautiful in different ways, my dear, and you just have to believe your hubby when he tells you. hehe. no need to feel insecure na, ne. look at you.
and now i know what you meant when about you norway. it’s pretty and clean and the air seems fresh! i’ll pay you a visit there someday!
All that fooling around before dinner can tire a person out, y’know!
You’re right! lol!
hi chase,
thanks for the compliment…..lol
mona lisa……..sana kung totoo ano?
ang ganda ng Bergen…….nice view.
fat?………para sa akin hindi…….
sigi, ingat………….
Chase, you and Odd are beautiful! And yes, you’re not fat. So, stop it already!
That view, awesome! My 3 years old asked me if we can drive there and climb.
Thank you Ms. Sho. Yes, you can drive halfway and hike the rest. But taking the funicular to the top of Mt. Fløyen is fun.
i know you’re sooo happy now even if odd is teasing you. when is the wedding?
Bah, most all of us are insecure in our own ways.
You have no reason to be though .
Like your style of life now with Odd! The point of view of the picture is very nice and Bergen seems a place where il fait bon vivre! where you can find happiness! I don’t find you are too fat , just perfect, Charles!
Thanks Claudie! Bergen is actually like Marseilles as my French classmate from another course told me a long time ago.
Pretty good post. I just came by your blog and wanted to say
that I have really enjoyed browsing your blog posts. Any way
I’ll be subscribing to your feed and I hope you post again soon!
Been missing hearing the latest, so I had to stop by.
Are all your troubles with status over? Tell Odd “howdy”.
Stop by sometime.
Hello Cybercelt! Things are fine and stable now. It felt I could breathe again.
Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!! Long time no see see.
You don’t look half as bad as what you’re saying mr!
Glad to see your blog posts, and… and… and…
CONGRATS on your wedding! Big smiles!!!!
Hope all is well
Dakota.
p.s My blog site on dakotarico.com is back up! Finally.
Ciiiiiao
My dear, you look fab! And you guys are looking so happy (especially on the last photo ha ha!)
have a good weekend, Charles!
Chase, you’re beautiful! And that last photo is wicked!
Hei Charles,
I saw some changes on my blog. Thanks for your efforts. I really really appreciate your help. I saw it last night but today, it is again different. I guess you are experimenting a bit? Love yah lots!
Glad you came by to visit, Charles…I hope all is well with you—it’s been quite a while since you posted…..
That COBB Salad as Originally made by The Brown Derby is on The Internet. The salad and the Dressing…..IT IS YUMMMMMMMMMY!
Hugs To You & Odd…..!
Ooohh I should check it out!
Great photos! The one of you two together is very sweet. Reminds me of some of the Japanese Yaoi comics I randomly get obsessed with.
Thanks! My lady friend is also a bit obsessed with Yaoi comics. lol
Wow! I think the lens on that last photo fogged a little with that scene! You’re gorgeous and don’t think otherwise!
Are you kidding me? That’s not fat. It’s just you fishing for a compliment, I think.
Woo-hoo. That’s a hot picture, the last one. Why is it I think of Fatal Attraction when looking at your kitchen scene? Is that even right? Maybe it’s more like Postman Always Rings Twice? It’s mundane – you’re right about that. But it’s in the common, everyday shared moments with loved ones that utterly make our heart swell with gratitude we are alive and in our loved ones arms.
I’m glad you’ve committed the moment to memory and that you’re generous enough to share it with us.
You have read my mind. LOL. The last picture was actually spontaneous. I was cooking for dinner and Odd, my husband was there to help me. Suddenly, an idea hit me. I told him we should take a photo doing something a bit indecent and he was up for it! Well, he’s always supportive in my crazy antics that’s also one reason why I love him so much.
