SSSSSSStretchhhhhhhhhh

Have you ever came across something and instantly fell in love?

I fell in love with a the Precor Stretch "machine!" lol, I remember discovering this interesting contraption with Bonnie our Sophomore year in college at the IM West Gym (at Michigan State University). They had two so we learned how to use it together. It seriously relieves all your stress when you stretch out your muscles. I remember how wonderful it made me feel to stretch and just breathe.

My all time favorite is stretching out my back.
I hold a lot of stress on my shoulders, arms, and back.
If I can stretch my back, I know I will have a better day instantly. Nothing is more refreshing apart from a glass of ice cold water when you really need it.

I've been reading that most chiropractors have this, "chiro" for short. lol
I've learned that today from the world wide web.

Too bad I just don't have the space to get one of my own.
They do have 1 at the gym I go to now ~ I was so shocked to see it because I had never seen one before college.

Price tag for the Precor Stretch Trainer: $895 (That's the sale price I found)
They have other brands starting at $499
A bit steep, but it's still more affordable than an LV speedy. lol

One day, one day
I wouldn't mind having this, but for now I'll just visit it at the gym.
It's the only reason why I'd enjoy to go.

Gloomy World
In unrelated news, I've been looking for a place to move ~
I just don't know if I want to commit to purchasing a home in the state of gloomy Washington.
It's probably smarter to find a nice place to rent, or to stay in this one after our lease is up (of course without roommates).

I really am too lazy to move out, I'd rather just sign another lease without the roommates.
I can handle the rent myself, plus that way the master will remain my bedroom, the other 3 rooms and entire house could be DSK Jewelry's space to rent. Well, actually I'm not sure. The landlord does want more money if we have a dog. I'm sure that can be negotiated. The only reason we don't have one right now is because the landlord wants to charge us a bigger deposit, and an extra $50 / month for the dog's rent. lol

My cousin had a talk to me the other day. I was telling her that I was looking for a property to buy since the market is down. She asked me if I really wanted to stay put in Washington?

That really got me thinking.

She suggest just to continue renting, save up money and then get the hell out.
The winter here is just miserable.
I thought Michigan snow was miserable, but no sunlight & a shit ton of rain is the DEFN. (definition) of miserable.
You see direct sunlight every 2-3 weeks if you're lucky in the winter time.
Everyone I've talked to said the sun will come back in May.
Are they serious? lol

How can someone be happy without the beautiful sun?
I've gotten a lot paler, which is not bad, but my foundation shades are all messed up.
GRR.

So yeah... it's an overcast everyday, it rains almost everyday, and it's the earth is always wet & damp. There are way too many evergreen trees..that blocks out any ounce of light (not sun) that we get everyday.

I can't see living here for the next 5 years.
(so I'm not going to)

The only reason I'm here right now is for my business, and for Minh.
Nothing else. No wonder Washington is an income tax free State. It need an incentive to keep people here. Maybe I'm bias right now since I've never seen this place in the Spring & Summer.
But I will see it in the coming months ~ I just need to witness it to believe it.

I'm not going to say Michigan was the best place on Earth, but Washington is not as happy of a place in my heart.
Maybe the California sun is calling.

You know 7 million families in Orange County live in a gated community. lol
(Can you tell I watch the Real Housewives of Orange County a bit too much)?
No wonder 75% of my relatives bask in the sun down there.
I should have followed my own plan to move out there after college.

I should have known that this wouldn't work.
I live in the wonderful Bellevue, where the shopping is fantastic. YET. I find myself not one ounce interested.

Minh said he knows I'm unhappy.
We just have to figure out an arrangement that will work out for the both of us.
I think I can be happy having a long distance relationship lol

Our relationship was long distance for about 6 months before I moved out here.
A part of me was unhappy - 25% unhappy, 75% happy.

I was happy to have my family.
I was happy to share laughs with my cousin. lol
Playing with my dog Heidi, and holding the cat Tobey put a smile on my face everyday.

I could talk on the phone with Minh, video chat ~ I can't do that will all my family, friends, and pets.

For those who were interested in an update of my Living Situation, lol I had a few people ask about that & for an update.

We all exchanged e-mails, hahahaha
It seems like we're all on the same page.
I think Minh's sister is not too happy about the situation.
Minh said to me, she can be mad all she wants because 5 years from now, what I did was right.
He said no one can blame him for not doing the right thing.
I'm proud of him.

We all will move out in 6 months after our lease is up. I will either buy myself a condo, or rent a condo/apartment for the time being. I'm not sure if I can commit to the land of rain and misery.

Minh can find a new place with his sister.
What parents wouldn't want a brother & sister to not live together especially when they're 3 hours away from home right? I know if I lived away from home, I would like to live with family myself.

HAHAHAHA I know she'll love that.

I know I will be fine living in my own space, with me and DSK Jewelry plus a few dogs!
Minh & Steph moving in together (just us) is a NO NO for me right now.
I don't want Minh to be stuck to me in a lease or something, hahahahaaha
I need an outlet.
Right now, it's fine because we live with other people in the same roof with two room.
So we can ignore each other if we really wanted to, haha
Sometimes he comes into my room to fart (really loud) and then leaves.
GROSS.

I don't want to be engaged to fart boy especially since I dislike 98% of everything Seattle.
The good 2% is Minh himself (apart from loud farting). lol
and his parents and their two dogs.
