it's been awhile

well it's been a long time since i posted, but there is a lot to talk about. first off, i got an interview with a company called 3DL Design. it's a sales associate position job. i really hope i get it. second, watching the food network on a daily basis has started to pay off. it has made me a better cook. i watch it at least three hours a day learning foods, tips and techniques. my favorite shows are everyday italian with giada de lautertiis, cooking for real, tyler's ultimate, boy meets grill, throwdown with bobby flay, and barefoot contessa. i don't really like a lot of paula deen's recipes only because they are too unhealthy. im pretty sure this is what i needed, because if i had to see another train wreck reality trash show on vh1 mtv or e! again, i was going to scream. at least you can learn something off of the reality shows the food network offers.
the third (but certainly not the least) thing i wanted to talk about is my cousin's wedding. yes he got married. he got married on march 10th in bangalore, india. me and the rest of the family were all there. (yes, i went to india in the middle of the school year). getting the visas were a pain, my bro and i had to go to the indian embassy to get them because the place we went to considered holi a holiday. after we got our visas, we had to do some packing. that took awhile because my mom takes forever to pack. she also needed to approved for the trip because of her condition. my cousin had to get all of his documents together for him to travel out the country. he was also planning to take the girl back with him after they got married (that was a pain too). when we got there on (march 3 or 4th?) we were very jet lagged but we had to meet the girl that day. so i had to change and put make up on. we had to squeeze five of us in to a three person car. and go to the other side of town. i was super tired, but didnt show it. there wasnt any time to rest (or breathe for that matter) within the next few days. we had to get clothes, shoes, the works for the wedding. all of it within a week and half. i still cant believe we pulled it off. we had rituals before the wedding we had to do. it was only a couple hours for two days, but with meeting the family and friends it felt like forever. the girl hema, (pronounced like hay-ma) was awesome and fun. she's quiet, but im sure it's because she's away from her family right now. im so happy that my cousin finally got married. everyone said that i should get married in india. im like hell no. i could never go through the same thing that hema went through. india is not my place anyway, i wasnt born there, i didnt grow up there. i grew up in the US, so i get married there.
it's been almost two weeks since i came back and im still trying to get over the jet lag.

btw i lost weight when i was there. yeah, you'd think with the amount of sweets they gave us, i would gain five pounds. when i starting working out again when i came back, my cardio took a major hit. there is so much pollution over there that it took a week to get it all out. the pollution gets worse everytime i go there.
i'll post pictures up eventually.
till then...
