B.M.I

that's short for Baboy Mo Ini? huh????

No. Just kidding.

Last Friday my former Professor and former research boss said i look better because I seem to be gaining weight or at least showing signs of it. That has yet, however, to be righfully judged by the weighing scale (which i don't have) and by the fit of my pants around the waist and hips (which remains to be comfortably loose somehow). 

Gogol hasn't been gaining any weight of the late. hell, he hadn't gained any weight for this whole year. The scale is somehow stuck to around 10-10.5 kilograms when he jumps in it. 

Because of this (why do i feel i always give some sort of a rationale to every thing i do?? hmmm...), while waiting for my money to be dispensed by the teller at the bank a light bulb flashed on top of my head <*<*TA DING!*>*> So when i arrived at the office i "good posturedly" sat on my ergonomic albeit unstable chair and tapped away. actually it was more of googled "proper weight gain for toddlers" which resulted to some list which didn't satisfy me because i wanted a matrix. a matrix of the ideal weight for boy toddlers or boy pre-schoolers because baby center said my baby boy automatically turned preschooler when he turned two. so i asked google for different things. this time: "ideal weight for toddlers", then "growth chart for male toddlers" until it led me to this (YES THIS IS A LINK THAT YOU CAN CLICK AND A WINDOW OR A TAB WILL AUTOMATICALLY OPEN YOUR DOORS TO THIS SITE I'M TELLING YOU OF SO click click on this. NO, i'm just kidding. But you can click if you want).

Hokay.

after a few erroneous calculations from one site, making gogol a fat, overweight toddler. i jumped into another site which gave me the same evaluation: gogol is obese. HOW CAN GOGOL BE OBESE???? he just lost a kilo of weight from a diarrhea episode last december!

with patience (...is like bread i say i ran out of that yesterday -- which is not entirely true because kitoy and i were practically home alone on february 2 and 3 -- no little gogol to make us crazy) (or maybe that guns n' roses song, if you're old enough to remember). After 10 years, the computer finally got it right and gogol was found out to have a perfectly healthy weight with a BMI at fourteen-point-something. 

and i went to check mine.

and it was a disppointment.

although it did not really feel like a failing grade for an undergrad thesis (but i don't know how that really should feel becasue 1.25 ya akon undergrad thesis!!!!!!). more like i thought i.... feeling. 

but still i said i will go back to being vegetarian having been off of it for the last in mid-2006 up to the present. that also had something to do with gaining weight during pregnancy. But eating pork and beef and chicken didn't jolt the scales even a bit, especially when i was breastfeeding.

Here is the evidence that i am indeed, underweight. (but i think the discrepancy may lie in the height because i'm actualy a 5.1 something something and not a 5.2).
