I’m Heavy(er)
Oct 3, 2008 Daily Blurbs
I refuse to take diet pills to lose weight. Starting this weekend I am hitting the gym. I am actually afraid to go alone, but I am not going to be. My whole family is coming with me to start being healthy. I’ve noticed that I get tired so easily for the past month. I need to get of my arse and be active again.
I used to dance. It keeps me in shape, but eversince I stopped, I have no physical outlet. I am stuck in my computer chair, working, playing, working, playing. I’d rather spend money going to the gym than pay for medications later in life.
A change in my family’s diet is definitely needed. My parents are not getting any younger and our health won’t get better if we just sit around doing nothing. Hopefully, in a few weeks, I’ll have more energy.

Be Beach Body Ready
Jan 20, 2008 Buzz
Summer here in the Philippines is just a few months away, and if I want to wear a swimsuit, I need to work on my daily routine and beat the heat with a beach body figure. Now, when I say beach body, it doesn’t mean “skinny”. I like to be in the middle, not so thin and not fat.
Here are a few things I need to work on:
- My Cardio: Which basically means I need to go out and jog, or ride a bike, and use the stairs more.
- Weight Training: Nah, I don’t think I can do this without any fitness equipment available at home.
- Eat 5-6 meals per day: The technique is eating more frequently, speeds up your metabolism. It reduces hunger and cravings.
- More protein, less carbs: Moderate intake of protein helps you lose fat faster. I am currently eating less rice than usual.
Well, I hope I’d be able to reach my goal in time for summer.

2008, Not Just Another Year
Jan 1, 2008 Daily Blurbs
Year 2007 went by so fast, but it wasn’t fast enough that nothing really happened. Here’s a list of things that happened to me in the year 2007.
January
- I met Ryan’s childhood friends for the first time.
- Booboo came to my life.
- I taught less privileged how to read.
February
- I spent our first Valentine’s day quietly at home with Ryan.
March
- Our dog died…
- Shared with everyone how I lost weight.
April
- Another one of our dogs died…
- I was sunburnt at Puerto Galera for the second time.
May
- I exercised my voting rights for the first time, and served as a poll watcher for our community.
June
- I added another reason why Ryan is just the best boyfriend ever.
July
- My first time to celebrate with Ryan on his birthday.
August
- Me and Ryan’s 1st Anniversary.
September
- Well, I don’t remember anything big that happened to me in September…
October
- Once again, I participated in the local elections as a poll watcher.
November
- I became an intern for Adrien Multimedia.
December
- Kept up with our yearly tradition of secret santa within my family.
- We experienced a family tragedy. Our property were engulfed by fire, and my cousin suffered from second degree burns.
- God reminded me that there are more people with really big hearts our there to help anyone in need.
2007 was spent with a mixture of happiness, excitement and tragedy. But through it all, I managed to survive it. I am looking forward to another year, but, I am not making any New Year’s resolution, I have never really kept up with it. What I can do is to continue to make efforts to make myself a better person.
Now, here’s 2008. Another year to face and conquer more battles for self-improvement; another year to experience things that I’ve never tried or haven’t done in a long time; another year to love and be loved by the persons close to my heart; and to be remembered for the good things that I can share with everyone.
