Ang buhay nga naman ay puno ng misteryo. Di mo laam kung kelan lilitaw ito. Nakakalto kung minsan. Di ko na alam ang aking gagawin. Ay... oo nga pala katatapos lang ng kabilugan ng buwan. Kaya pala....
May theory daw na kapag bilog ang buwan ang karakter ng isang tao ay nagbabago. Ito ay dahil kapag bilog ang buwan ang buwan mismo ay malapit sa daigdig at ang gravitatinal magnetic field nito ay humihila sa mga bagay na malapit dito pati na tayo na mga tao.
May theory din na kapag bilog ang buwan ang ating mga hormones, o yung mga subsatances sa ating katawan na ginagawa ng mga glands na syang nag-iimpluwensya sa mga major organs ay nasa kanilang kalabisan o nag-ooverflow kaya ang isang tao ay naging emosyunal o nagiging aggresibo. Depende sa mga factors, sitwasyo, at condisyon ng isang indibidwal.
Ewan ko lang kung totoo ang mga haka-hakang ito pero sa aking mg aeksperinsiya bilang isang tao at nilalang dito sa mundo, kapag bilog ang buwan ang isang tao ay naging luko-luko kabilang na ako dito. Hehehe. Pero yan po ang totoo.....
Hay ewan ko at hindi ko mapaliwanag kung bakit pero napapansin ko lang na medyo nag-lalag na ako sa aking pag-eehersisyo. Medyo tinatamad na ata akong pumunta sa gym araw-araw. Naging matakutin na rin ako dahil ayoko nang ma-injure. Naranasan ko na pong ma-injure at iyon ay di biro lang. Ito ay naisalaysay ko na rin sa mga paunang blog ko dito.
Siguro iyon ang nag-trigger sa akin na magprocrastinate. Ang magpaliban ng isang gawain ay di na normal sa akin. Noon, ay palaging nagyayari ito sa akin kaya nga ako ay umabot sa 180 pounds ng timbang dahil sa depression ko noon. Ngayon na nag-eexercise na ako medyo bumalik na rin ang aking compiayansa pero bakit ba naman ako tinatamad paminsan-minsan.
Kailangan ko ang isang tao na talagang tumututok sa akin para masabi na mali ang aking ginagawa. Kailangan ko ang isang tao na sumampal sa aking para ako ay kumilos. Naiinis akominsan sa sarili ko. Sana mag-bago na ako at hindi na ako maging pabaya sa aking pag-eexercise at sa aking mga kinakain.
Ito ba ang nangyayari kapag kabilugan ng buwan. Ma-evaluate nga uli next time. Sa ngayon ay medyo nanumbalik na naman ang sigla sa aking sarili. Sana ako po ay makapag-exercise araw-araw kahit thirty to forty minutes lang, sabi ni Leonel sa akin.
Ang importante daw ay kumikilos ang aking katawan para tuloy-tuloy ang metabolism ko sa aking katawan. Kapag ang pugon sa aking katawan ay palaging nagtatrabaho tataas ang aking metabolism at ako ay papayat nang tuloy-tuloy. So far, effective naman ito sa akin.
Dasal ko lang po na sana tuloy-tuloy na itong aking pagpapayat at naway ito ay maging bahagi na ng aking buhay sa aking mga pang-araw-araw na gawain. Pero paano na kaya pag bilog ang buwan? Ah ewan kailangang labanan ko ang phenomenong ito. Patnubayan nawa ako ni Lord. Ciao!

Kong Hai Fah Choi
Yes it is Chinese New Year today and I just wanted to greet you Kong Hai Fah Choi. It is the year of the mighty horse this year in the Chinese calendar. Hope we have a more progressive year this year.
A horse is expected to be robust and muscular. Meaning it is firm and stable. It has grace and finesse and always elegant to look at especially when bred or cultured. These characteristics of the horse will be also manifested this year, depends on someones perceprtion and superstition.
You know Chinese were very superstitious people and they believe that the characteristics of certain animals reflect life as well. I'm not that superstitious but I can see how true it is sometimes. I always believe that what we ended up is all to us. Destiny is your own making except in some circumstances like those royal people.
As I celebrate this Chinese New Year I hope that the whole year will be more productive and full of life. I mean about life as a lot of challenging situations. I am always an optimist and I always yearn thos challenges that eally measure my own strengths and weaknesses. Life is full of challenges and it's up to us to face and crack them.
For me, I am always going with the flow. I sometimes get ahead but I never really tried to overdo a certain thing because I don't want failures. Failures are okay for us to leanr but if your life are fill with it it would be frustrating maybe, right. That's why I am very keen and careful of taking over and going ahead. I just want to go with the flow and enjoy the present.
Okay, I hope you will enjoy your Chinese New Year and please do't eat a lot. Hahaha. I can't eat for now because I ma on a strict diet. Hehehe. Go sea the dragon dancing on the street and enjoy the merry making. Kong Hai Fah Choi!

The Effects Of Jury Duty
Today I was instructed to report to LA Courthouse for my jury duty. I was instructed to report at 0700H and it was still dark when I left my apartment at 0630H. I headed to the Disney Concert Hall where I was instructed to park and I arrived there at 0640H.
I then crossed the street across grand and walked a little bit towards the courthouse which is still close by that time. I walked towards Hill St. because the instructions says that the entrance will be there.
When I got to the Hill St. entrance there was a line already at the stairs and the sign says that they will open the door at 0730H. It was cold at that time and according to the instructions they wanted us to report at 0700H then left us out in the cold because the door will be opened at 0730H. I mean it was so cold and freezing outside and some of the volunteers or potential jurors were cold already. All I have to do is sigh deeply and just keep mum because I don't want to complain.
At 0730H they opened the door and had us lined up at the entrance airport style for the check in. So far I went in without a problem. Then we were instructed to report to Room 253 on the second floor. When I got there I've waited for a little bit and then they started the orientation and then gave us our juror ID badge.
It seems that they were holding us there for so long. We've waited until 0900H and there were no calls. I was kind of bored already scanning my Facebook account on my phone and then depleted my phone's battery. It was really tiring to wait for nothing.
At 1030H the lady called the first group to report at 7th floor and luckily my name was not in that group. After that we've waited again for more time and it was already 1145H, close to lunch time when they announced the second group to report to 6th floor after lunch at 1330H. Apparently, my name was included in that group.
I exited the courthouse and went up to 4th floor to get to Grand Avenue and walked towards the MOCA to look for teh Subway Resto there to eat some sandwich for lunch. It was a hurried lunch because I don't want to get late for the next session. I went back to the courthhouse after eating and waited for the other volunteers at 6th floor where we were instructed to meet.
At 1330H the session had started and the court was opened again. We waited for another thirty minutes and some names were instructed to go back to second floor for further instructions. The ones who were not called were the ones selected. Fortunately, my name was included with the group who's going back to the 2nd floor.
When we got there, we were instructed to sit and wait for further instructions. It's been more than one hour already of waiting and there were no instructions yet. I saw an opportunity to blog so I took this time to compose one hence this blog was made.
So far, we felt like we were on house arrest because we've been here since this morning waiting for nothing. Well, what could we do, this is a responsibility as a citizen of USA so we can't complain. I just can't wait to have this one over and then I will be free of this responsibility for another year for we have to fulfill this responsibility to the country annually.
Right now, I'm still here waiting for the decisions and some more instructions for tomorrow whether to report or not. For the meantime, I have to keep hanging out here and just use my time wisely. In fact, there is nothing to do here other than blog off my apprehensions and misery and maybe my boredom. Hehehe.
Just wishing that I will not be called and hope that this will be over soon. Let's just see what happens next. Pray for me. Well, hope that works....
Addendum @ 1902H: We were dismissed at 1500H and was advised that we are not going to go back the next day. It was the end of our jury duty and that they will summon us again after a year if indicated. At last, this dilemma was over and that the thorn in my heart was already been pulled out. Thank God.

Pagbabalik-tanaw Sa Saglit Na Nakaraan
Ako po ay nagagalak at okay na ako sa kabila ng aking mga injuries na natamo kamakailan dahil sa aking pag-eehersisyo. Sa ngayon ay medyo katamtaman na lang ang mga sakit at pamamaga na aking naramdaman dahil palagi po akong nag-eestretch bago ako mag-exercise. Nakakatulong din pala yon, di ko alam eh.
Medyo may kaunting pamamaga paminsan-minsan pero naiibsan naman pag ako ay kumilos. Natural lang sigurong mamaga dahil nga nag-eexercise. Mas mabuti na nga ito kesa noon na talagang masakit at naninigas pa ang mga kalamnan ko dahilan na hindi ako makalakad. Hahaha. Naalala ko naman yung mga sandaling kamuntik na akong gumapang para lang makakilos. Hahaha. Nakaktuwang isipin yun.
Sa ngayon ay aalagaan ko na ang aking sarili dahil ayoko na namang bumalik sa umpisa at daranasin uli ang mga masasakit na sandaling yon. Hahaha. Parang drama lang ano? Pero sa totoo naman ay ayoko na talagang pabayaan ang sarili ko at magiging mataba na naman na puno ng depression at mababang self-esteem. Malaki na ang ipinagbago ko at ito ay akin lang ipagpatuloy para sa malusog na pamumuhay.
Hay naku, eto na naman ako at nagmumuni-muni na naman ng mga nakalipas. Hay naku hindi talaga maiwasan. Pero kung ano ang determinasyon ko noon ay sya namang dodoblehin ko para hindi na matinag ang disiplinang aking naumpisahan na. Pakaingatan ko na po ito at aking ipagpatuloy ang kausa tungo sa malusog na landas.
Ako po ay na-iinspire kaya medyo ganado din akong mag-blog. Sana napansin nyo rin. Hahaha. Pero sa totoo lang medyo happy ako sa aking narating. Nung i-post ko sa Facebook ang picture ko marami ang bumati sa aking katapangan. At ako naman ay nagagalak at nagustuhan nila ang kinalabasan. Totoo nga ang kasabihan pag may itinanim ay may aanihin. Pag may sipag at tiyaga may nilaga..... tama ba to? Ay ewan.... Nasa Diyos ang awa nasa tao ang gawa.... Pag hindi naransan ang sakit hindi makukuha ang gusto.... at iba pang mga kasabihan.
Sa ngayon ay kontento na ako sa aking progress at na-achieve. Ipagpatuloy ko na lang po ang aking mga ginagawa para maabot ko ang aking ideal weight na 155 lbs tapos ay mag-weights para naman magkalaman naman. So far, ang target ko po ngayon ay bumawas ng timbang at wala ng iba.
Paunti-unti lang po para hindi naman masyadong mabigla ang aking katawan. Salamat po sa aking kaibigan na si Leonel na nag-inspire sa akin na gumawa nito. Kung hindi po nya ako na-motivate siguro mas napariwara po ako dahil sa sobrang depression at low self-esteem. Sa ngayon po ay medyo tumaas po ang aking confiansa sa sarili at medyo may takot na po ako sa Dios at sa aking kapakanan.
Wala na po akong mahihiling pa kundi ang patuloy na patnubay ni Lord na sana ay ma-lampasan ko pa ang mga pagsubok na patuloy na bumabatikos sa akin araw-araw at sa mga challenges along the way as I continue myself to an extremely complicated and long journey for a fit and healthy life. I hope myself the best of everything at sana ay patnubayan po ako ng Diyos na Maykapal. Paalam na po.

My Drastic Physical Transformation
I did it for forty days, starting December 18, 2013 to January 28, 2014. Forty days of grueling physical training which almost lost my drive and meager confidence because of the incessant pain after the training. I almost ended crawling to the gym because of unexplained injuries and underlying disease process (gout and arthritis) but it didn't sway me away from my goals and my drive to get thin.
It was my determination and discipline that keeps me going and also the motivation of my distant trainer (who lives in Cancun) which really helped the most. Without Skype and Whats App I couldn't make it. Lucas was been constantly monitoring my moves and advised me on what to do next time. He also didn't leave me during those times that I almost lose hope to do it because of injuries. I am a changed man now and I am proud of my achievement. Yay!
I am posting my photo here to show all of you how I changed physically. In forty days I did lose 26 pounds, from a whopping 188 lbs to a light 162 lbs. Although I still have to lose a little bit more to hit my ideal weight of 155 lbs still I am contented with what I have now. Here is the pictures for you to compare my physical outlook.
I bet ou can spot the difference from a curvy guy to a fit person. This will be the testament that I have endured a lot to attain this kind of physical outlook. It cost me a lot of sweat and blood and even cost me my work hours because I have to call-in-sick for not being able to walk and for being so sore that I couldn't even move a bit of my muscles. It was really true about what they say that when you go to the gym you will only see the result after enduring so much pain. No pain no gain as what they say.
And for me this really holds true. I can't deny the fact that I have endured a lot of pain before I have attain a fit body. And for that I won't waste my efforts to go back to the old me which is fat, depressed, self-isolating, and having a low self-esteem. Now I am more confident and very determined. I can really see a big change in me. A lot of my friends have noticed it as well.
So from now on, I will still continue doing my cardio exercises and continue losing weights until I reach my ideal weight at 155 lbs then maybe start to do weights and bulk some muscles. My trainer LL told me to do it gradually so that my body won't be shocked. If I did it for forty days, how much more do I look in another forty days judging if I keep doing my routines and training just like what I did before? For sure the difference will be even more shocking.
I hope and pray that I will be extra disciplined and much much more determined this time. I need someone to inspire me to continue and right now I only have LL to inspire and motivate me. Hopefully, everything will be all right.
I don't know why I am so apprehensive all the time about this but I just can't brush off the idea because I really invested a lot of time and energy to get to where I am now. Hopefully, I can do it right for this time without any mishaps. Now I will be more extra careful not to incur more injuries. I will technically do the stretching before and after my exercises, for that is the right thing to do all the time.
I will not rush myself to just see the results quickly and just do my exercises in moderation and not to overdo it so that injuries will not occur or will be contained. In short, I will be patient this time. It's really true that patience is a virtue and I lack that really. I will set my daily goals ahead of time and achieve them with high flying colors.
These I will do every day for forty days and I can't just wait for the next evaluation of my progress and efforts. See you in forty days guys! Please help me Lord and stay with me all throughout the entire journey. Thank you!

Medyo Bored Lang Po
Nandito ako ngayon sa trabaho at walang magawa. Nursing supervisor po ako sa isang convalescent center. Medyo magaan po ang trabaho ko dito compared sa teaching job ko. Nag-susupervise lang ko ako ng mg apractical nurses and CNAs. May mga paperworks din po akong ginagawa pero halos natapos ko na po lahat ang mga ito kaya ngayon ay medyo bored na ako.
Alas 12:47 ng umaga po ngayon at medyo naka-five hours na po ako dito kaya medyo tahimik na at ang mga residente ay halos natutulog na. Mga mangilan-ngilan na lang ang gising pero medyo matiwasay na po ngayon. Unlike kanina po ay kaliwa't kanan po ang mga tawag at problema. So far ayos naman po ngayon at wala namang problema. (Knock on the wood po. Kasi medyo maaga pa naman magsabi ng ganitong patapos.)
Sa ngayon nag-aabang na lang ako na matapos and IV antibiotic ng isang pasyente at medyo makakaluwag na ako after that. Wala namang gaanong big issue ngayon so medyo boring na rin. Natapos ko na rin ang mga assignment ng mga CNA's para bukas at basically wala na akong gagawin pa.
Yung mga pasyente na close monitoring ay na-monitor na rin. Halos lahat yata sa kanila ay tulog na. Hehehe. Kasama ko ngayong gabi ay sina Moises (in charge sa station 1) at Ate Flor (in charge sa station 2). Medyo maganda ata ang teamwork ngayon. At salamat naman sa mga malugod kong taga-subaybay. Halos okay naman ang takbo ngayon kumpara sa mg anagdaang araw.
Inaantay ko lang po na matapos ang IV antibiotic ng isang pasyente sa 218 at wala na rin akong gagawin after that. Bored lang talaga ata ako. Ti-next ko nga pala si Lucas at ako po ay nagpapasalamat sa kanyong mga kabaitan.
Sa ngayon ay medyo mabagal po ang usad ng oras. Pero tahimik naman at medyo maaya pa para magdiwang. Medyo pagod na rin ako dahil nag-tuturo pa rin ako sa Medical Career at kanina po ay nag-affiliate kami sa Los Angeles Community Hospital.
Na-assign po sa sa Acute Care Unit at kami po ay pinaghawak ng mga pasyente sa liod ng unit. So far medyo receptive naman ang mga estudyante at nakaraos din kami sa pagpapas ng mga gamot. At least may nalalaman naman ang mga bata sa clinical rotations dun. Ngayon ay pinag-aralan nila ang iba't-ibang sistema ng pagtackle sa mg problema.\
Yan ang gusto ko sa mga Ilonggo naka-ngiti pa rin kahit medyo galit na ito. Pero okay lang po. At least ang teamwork nila sa SUb-acute is really solid.
Oo nga, kahit saam ka pupunta meron at meron talaga na mga trouble maker at reklamo. Well, wala akong magawa kasi halos lahat yata ay maiingay. Pero okay lang. Salamat sa lahat ng pagsubaybay. So far tinutulungan lang po ako ng aking mga kaibigan kaya medyo blessed lang po ata ako. Salamat sa lahat sa pagtutok nyo sa aking blog araw-araw.

At least may nalalaman naman ang mga bata sa clinical rotations dun. Ngayon ay pinag-aralan nila ang iba't-ibang sistema ng pagtackle sa mg problema.\
Yan ang gusto ko sa mga Ilonggo naka-ngiti pa rin kahit medyo galit na ito. Pero okay lang po. At least ang teamwork nila sa SUb-acute is really solid.
Oo nga, kahit saam ka pupunta meron at meron talaga na mga trouble maker at reklamo. Well, wala akong magawa kasi halos lahat yata ay maiingay. Pero okay lang. Salamat sa lahat ng pagsubaybay. So far tinutulungan lang po ako ng aking mga kaibigan kaya medyo blessed lang po ata ako. Salamat sa lahat sa pagtutok nyo sa aking blog araw-araw.

Mga Araw-araw Na Pagbabago
Sa ngayon ay medyo mahina ang aking progreso sa aking pag-ehersisyo pero ginagawa ko ang aking makakaya para hindi ako malihis sa aking mga patakaran. Sana nga po ay maging sunod-sunod na ang aking pagpupunta sa gym para magkatotoo naman ang aking mga objectivo. At least ngayon hindi na masyadong namamaga ang aking mga masel pagkatapos kong mag-exercise. Salamat naman.
Noong nag-uumpisa pa lang akong mag-ehersisyo halos dalawang linggo din akong nagtiis sa mga pamamaga ng aking aking katawan. At least ngayon na-overcome ko na at medyo hindi ko na naramdaman ang pamamaga. Sa unang araw lang pagkatapos kong magpahinga para sa aking rest day pero pagkatapos nun wala na.
Medyo nag-fofocus ako ngayon sa pagbabawas ng timbang kaya puro cardio exercises muna ang aking ginagawa at ang pag-me-maintain ng aking balance kasi nga sa aking problema sa paa dahilan sa neuropathic pain. Hanggang ngayon kailangan ko pa ring uminom ng Neurontin araw araw para maibsan ang sakit dulot ng neuropathy. Other than that ay okay naman ang lahat.
Salamat naman at palagi naman akong sinusubaybayan ni Lucas sa aking mga routines at binibigyan nya ako ng mga advises kung ano ang dapat and hindi dapat gagawin. At least may isang tao na nag-mo-motivate sa akin para hindi naman ako mag-lag sa aking mga routines. So far so good naman. At nagpapasalamat talaga ako sa taong ito sa pag-ma-matiyaga nyang i-follow-up ako sa aking mga exercises araw-araw at pati na rin sa aking mga kinakain o diet.
Ngayon medyo nararamdaman ko na rin na nabawasan na rin ang aking timbang dahil na-feel ko na medyo gumaan-gaan ang aking katawan. Sabi nga ni Lucas kapag pinagpatuloy ko lang po ito ay magiging progressive at tuloy-tuloy ang aking development. Sana nga naman at tuloy tuloy na ang pagbabago na aking pinaka-asam-asam. Naway patnubayan po ako ng Diyos sa aking mga lakad.
Natutuwa naman ako sa aking mga nakikita at hindi naman ako nagiging pabaya sa aking mga tungkulin. Ako at ako lang po ang responsable sa aking mga kilos at wala nang iba pa. At sisikapin ko pong sundin ang aking mga resolusyon para lalong mapabuti ang aking sarili. At ako po ay taos pusong nagpapasalamat sa mga taong tumulong sa akin sa solong paglalakbay na ito. Sa aking mahal na pamilya at mga malapit na kaibigan na sadyang umiintindi sa aking sitwasyon. Salamat sa inyong taos pusong pag-uunawa at pagkalinga sa aking mga di inaasahang mga alituntunin.
Sa wakas ay may konting pagsulong naman ang aking paglalakbay tungo sa healthy na pamumuhay. Sana po ay tuloy-tuloy na po ito. Kahit konti lang ang progresso at least ito ay umuuusad. Naniniwala po ako na ang isang paglalakbay ay nag-uumpisa sa iisang yapak at ang aking pag-eehersisyo tungo sa matahimik na pamumuhay ay maiihahalintulad ko na rin dito. Naway ito ay maging masagana at mapayapang paglalakbay para sa akin. Patnubayan mo po ako Poong Diyos na Maykapal at aking mahal na Arkanghel. Magandang araw po sa inyong lahat!

Early Stage Of Dementia: Scary
It seems that the computer at work has a mind of its own. I cannot blog for two days that is why I was lagged for several days. I already forgot what's in my finicky mind. It seems that I have to document what I was thinking right away and this computer glitch had hindered me to blogged what I was thinking. Bummer!
I thought of having an early stage of dementia at 44-years-old. OMG! I can't believe I am 44-years-old already. Time seem like had been passing by so fast. I am old..... and I have to face the fact that I am forgetting things all at once. A sign that I always dreaded for..... scary I guess.
I have had encounters of people who had forgotten their memory at the nursing homes where we were doing our clinical rotations in my teaching job and it pained me looking at those elderly people to go through it. It must be very difficult and scary for them. The rigors and the frustrations of not remembering situations that had happened a minute ago or some events that had happened remotely was frightening..... I guess. I had visions that I may be experiencing those sometimes.
I am a person who always knows where I put my things no matter how messy my room is but as I aged I have noticed that I am not that person anymore. I kept forgetting where I placed some of my important stuff and it frustrates me sometimes. Coming on in terms with the unforeseeable situation like this must be difficult to the families of this patients and I envisoned it on myself as well. Good thing I am away from my family. And good thing they will never experienced it.
Judging with my family's background I have had some grandparents and immediate families who have history of dementia and Alzheimer's Disease. I have recalled that my immediate grandmother from my mother side had manifestations of dementia. It was apainful process for my mom to see her own mother succumb to such an unforgivable condition. Seeing my granny degrading like a baby was very delicate for me.... it is still fresh in my mind.
Then my mother follow suit after she incurred a stroke at the age of 70. It happened very fast and we didn't even anticipate it to happen that quick. As a health care person I see with my own eyes how my mom lose her senses and being extremely confused sometimes. She even succumb to a deep depression which had really altered her memory to a point that she couldn't remember each one of us .... her own children.
We redirected her gradually but it didn't worked and she slowly paced down herself until she become debilitated. I was the one who was really hit and hurt most feeling the whole process as I am the one who knows what was happening to her. She was really fragile and vulnerable at that time and I am the one who is extremely vulnerable and affected.
Now, I can't believe that I am manifesting slightly those signs and symptoms as well. Or am I just paranoid about it because of the memories that those situations had affected me greatly? Or am I just picturing myself regarding my past experiences with the situation? I don't know...... As a nurse it was really not an advantage to know a lot of medical conditons and terminologies because I tend to apply it to myself most of the time. I feel like I am a hypochondriac.....
Needless to say about this.... I am really scared that I might be prone to losing my memory. Whatever will happen in the future I just hope that I will not suffer just like my granny and my mom and that my family will not worry so much because of me. It's okay for me to worry about them but not to worry about me for I love them so much.
As I am blogging right now it amused me how my ideas were been flowing like a dripping faucet. I just can't contain my amusement and I have to express it here. Sorry.... Bye for now.

My Heartfelt Apologies
As I noticed the graph of my blogsite I noticed that my audience was been reduced. I think maybe because I blog in Tagalog. I am really sorry for blogging in Tagalog. Sometimes I have some thoughts that I can express well in Tagalog and that I needed to write before it will evaporate into oblivion. I hope you guys can understand me.
From now on, expect me to blog in Tagalog sporadically because of this reason. In as much as I don't want to do it I have to because I need to. Writing is my passion and I cannot wait to lose my thoughts if I have some very stunning ideas. And thanks for your daily patronage and for coming back here and follow my blogs.
Today, I am working at the clinical site and it is where I am just passive with the Staff Developer whom I disgust (although disgust is a harsh word). I mean he is an airhead and I just can't stand people like that. He seems to be very arrogant sometimes commenting about my students see-through white uniforms and tells me that they're wearing thongs.
I mean what is your business looking at the students body and scanning them like they were naked? That is preposterous. In as much as I don't want to see him I just pretended to be profesional because the school is affiliating with their facility. But honestly, I don't like the environment there. It seems that I am being singed. Haist.....
Enough of that frustrations, let's go back to my goal of losing weight which I started last month. It's been a month already and doing on and off daily exercise and cardio training had mad eme more focused to my exercise routines as well as geting more disciplined. I even gained back my self-confidence from being depress for so many years. The gym was my second home now and I am married to my weight reduction goals. I am so committed to this and I can see the difference.
Now, I feel more light and had a positive outlook. Thanks to my determination and also to the help of one person who really encouraged me to do this thing. Haven't I met him in Mexico I wasn't empowered to do this one hundred percent. We made a pact to do this together and assess our work after six months. I mayb edoing this as an online business someday. Who knows! (I'll just keep this as a secret for copyright purposes. My apologies.)
Again, I am very sorry for blogging in Tagalog and I hope you all understand it. Nevertheless, I will be here all the time ready to answer your feedbacks if you have some querries or thoughts to be reconciled with me. I thank you all for your perseverance and diligence to check my blogs sometimes. Thank you guys! Until next time! Ciao!

Naguilty, Kaya Hindi Makalibre
Kamusta na po mga kapatid? I hope okay lang po kayo riyan. So far, andito naman ay medyo matiwasay naman at wala namang gaanong masamang nangyayari. Heto nagmamatyag lang kung ano ang dapat gawin at kung ako ang hindi dapat.
Kahapon ay medyo tinatamad akong pumunta sa gym pero nakapunta rin matapos dampian ng konting pagka-guilty. Pinilit ko lang kasi ang sarili ko kahapon kasi medyo nabusog yata ako sa kinain ko kahapon.
Kahapon kasi ay "cheat day" ko. So malaya akong makakain ng kanin. It's been two weeks na kasi na hindi ako nakakain ng kanin so pagkatapos ng lecture ko kahapon sa school ay dumaan ako sa BJ Bibingkahan sa may Carson while on my way at nag-order ng tortang talong at binagoongang baboy with matching two scoops na kanin. Isang scoop lang nga ang kinain ko dahil na-guilty talaga ako sa sarili ko. Hehehe.
Mantakin mo matapos tatlong linggo na pagpapakahirap ay sasayangin ko lang ang aking pagod. Tapos eto ako nagpapakabusog, nagpapataba, nagpapakababoy, at kung ano ano pa. Nakakahiya di ba?
Umalis ako sa BJ na busog kaya nung nakauwi ako ay medyo tinamad na talaga ako dahil nga sa medyo sore na nga ang katawan ko from the workout kahapon. Pero na-guilty pa rin ako pagkatapos kong magpahinga ng may isang oras kaya umalis ako ng bahay ng mga pasado alas otso na, dahil hiyang-hiya ako sa sarili ko.
Nung nasa gym na ako ay medyo ginanahan din akong mag-exercise. Nakapag-bike pa nga ako ng 20 minutes tapos nakapag-jog ng 40 minutes. Pinawisan din ako ng todo after that. Ganun pala ang feeling pag-determinado.
Para nga akong bangag kahapon pag-alis ko ng gym dahil parang gusto ko pang mag-exercise pero magsasara na ang gym. Nakailang page na rin ang reception na malapit na ang closing time. Ganun pala kapag inumpisahan mo na ay parang hindi ka na hihinto. Di ko alam kasi eh.
Oo nga, sabi ng distant physical trainer ko marami talagang balakid sa aking mga goals. Kaya nga ay palagi lang akong focus sa aking mga objectives. At salamat naman at disiplinado naman ang aking sarili although paminsan minsan ay hindi talaga maiiwasan ang mag-procrastinate. Sinanay ko kasi ang sarili ko sa pagpapabukas palagi (manana habit). Pero at least ito ay unti-unti nang nawawala sa aking system. Hopefully in the following months ay ayos na ang lahat.
Tinimbang ko kahapon ang aking katawan at ako po ay nakapag-bawas ng halos 16 pounds in less than a month. Masaya ako kasi napakalaki ang nabawas sa akin. At balak kong bumalik sa aking ideal weight na 150 lbs. Pero medyo mahaba pa yata ang lalakbayin ko. Pero ayos lang.
Sa umpisa ay feeling ko na napaka-impossible gawin ito pero sa trend ng aking progress ay malamang na makakaya kong abutin ang aking goal. Nararamdaman ko naman na medyo gumaan-gaan ang aking sarili at medyo nangangayayat na rin ako ng may katamtaman lang.
Sa ngayon ay ipagpatuloy ko lang po ang pag-ehersisyo para sa malusog na pamumuhay. Salamat naman sa mga taong tumulong sa akin lalo na si LL (my distant personal trainer) na palaging nag-momonitor sa akin via "Whats App". Kung wala po sya ay hindi ko po maabot ang pangarap na ito. Maraming salamat po!

Wala Lang
Sa ngayon, mag-ba-blog muna ako sa Tagalog kasi masyadong ma-express ko nang mabuti ang aking sarili sa aking wika. Sorry sa mga hindi naka-intindi. Taos-puso po akong humihingi ng paumanhin sa inyo.
Marami nang mga bagay ang nagyayari sa akin ngayon at hindi ko na lubos maisip ang aking gagawin. Pero isa lang ang aking pinaghahawakan ng lakas. Ang aking disiplina sa sarili, ang aking talino, at ang patnubay ng Poong Diyos na Maykapal. Marami na ring mga pagsubok ang dumaan sa aking buhay at ang mga ito ay aking napagtagumpayan. Salamat sa mga taong bumubuhay sa aking pananalig at bumuo ng aking determinasyon. Alam nyo na po kung sinu-sino kayo. Mula sa aking puso, maraming maraming salamat po.
Sa ngayon, ako po ay taimtim na nag-ehersisyo para po bumaba ang aking timbang. Inumpisahan ko po ito nung isang taon, mga December 20 po, at sa ngayon ay regular ko ping sinusunod ang aking routines. Salamat naman at may kaunting changes naman sa aking pisikal na anyo at ako ay nagagalak sa mga pagbabago. Nabuhay uli ang aking compiyansa sa sarili at ang aking pananalig sa Maykapal. Wala na po akong mahihiling pa kundi ang patuloy na patnubay ng Panginoon para palagi ko pong madisiplina ang aking sarili sa mga indibidwal na routine sa aking routine.
Isa pa sa mga taong pinaghuhugutan ko ng lakas sa paglalakbay na ito ay ang aking long distance personal trainor. Siya po ay nakilala ko nung nagbakasyon ako sa Cancun. Nagkaroon po kami ng agreement na patnubayan nya po ako sa aking mga routines at usisain ako awar-araw kung ginagawa ko ang aking training o programa. Sa aking palagay po ay nakakatulong po sya para ma-encourage po ako na tumayo at kumilos at wag pabayan ang aking sarili. Siya po ang naka-inspire sa akin para gumawa o gawin itong disiplina na ito na akin namang ikinatutuwa.
So far, regular ko namang sinusunod ang mga regimen na kanyang nirerekomenda. Na-regulate ko na rin ang aking pagkain at ako naman ay disiplinado sa mga ito. Naramdaman ko naman ang mga pagbabago sa aking sarili and ako ay natutuwa naman. Di na po ako makapag-antay sa talagang maging resulta ng paglalakbay na ito pero sa totoo lang po ako po ay nagagalak talaga. Wala na pong akong hihingin pa kundi maging totoo sa aking mga routines at sana ito na po ay pangmatagalan.
Sa tuwing nasa gym po ako ay kakaiba po ang aking naramdam. Para po akong ginaganahan sa pag-ehersisyo. Puro po cardioo ang aking ginagawa kasi plano ko po ay magbawas muna ng timbang bago mga-weights at mag-develop ng muscle. Sa tulong po ng mga mungkahi ng aking long distance trainor ay nasa kaituparan ko rin po ang mga ito ng maitawasay.
May isang punto po na na-injure ako at ako po ay medyo napalihis ng konti sa aking mga routines dahil po sa tindi ng sakit. Na-twist ko po ang aking ankle at na pull ko po ang isang muscle sa paa. Ang sakit sakit po pero hindi po ako nawalan ng pag-asa. Kahit papilay-pilay po ako ay hindi po ako nahihiyang dumulog sa gym para kumilos at gumawa ng mga magagaang ehersisyo para lang po ako ay pawisan.
Sabi po ng trainor ko ay kailangang ipahinga ko po ang injury pero ako po ay nagmatigas kasi po ang dahilan ko po ay ayokong maudlot ang aking naumpisahan at uumpisa na naman ako pag ako ay tumigil. Ayoko pong mangyari yon.
So far sa ngayong week, ay medyo maayo ayos naman ang aking feeling at ako po ay nakapag-cardio na ng maayos although di pa po ako nakapagtakbo ng mabilis. Pero medyo makaya kaya ko na po. Hopefully, next week ay maging back to old routine na po ako. Medyo napansin ko na po na tumaas ang energy level ko at medyo humuhubog na rin po ang abs ko. Hehehe. Sa edad kong ito, parang hindi po kapanipaniwala. Hahaha.
So sa ngayon, ay ipagpatuloy ko lang po ang aking routines at balitaan ko na lang po kayo sa aking progress. Salamat po sa inyong pagsusubaybay at naway kayo po ay magkaroon ng matiwasay at tuloy-tuloy na araw. Paalam!
Marami nang mga bagay ang nagyayari sa akin ngayon at hindi ko na lubos maisip ang aking gagawin. Pero isa lang ang aking pinaghahawakan ng lakas. Ang aking disiplina sa sarili, ang aking talino, at ang patnubay ng Poong Diyos na Maykapal. Marami na ring mga pagsubok ang dumaan sa aking buhay at ang mga ito ay aking napagtagumpayan. Salamat sa mga taong bumubuhay sa aking pananalig at bumuo ng aking determinasyon. Alam nyo na po kung sinu-sino kayo. Mula sa aking puso, maraming maraming salamat po.

Wala na pong akong hihingin pa kundi maging totoo sa aking mga routines at sana ito na po ay pangmatagalan.
Sa tuwing nasa gym po ako ay kakaiba po ang aking naramdam. Para po akong ginaganahan sa pag-ehersisyo. Puro po cardioo ang aking ginagawa kasi plano ko po ay magbawas muna ng timbang bago mga-weights at mag-develop ng muscle. Sa tulong po ng mga mungkahi ng aking long distance trainor ay nasa kaituparan ko rin po ang mga ito ng maitawasay.
May isang punto po na na-injure ako at ako po ay medyo napalihis ng konti sa aking mga routines dahil po sa tindi ng sakit. Na-twist ko po ang aking ankle at na pull ko po ang isang muscle sa paa. Ang sakit sakit po pero hindi po ako nawalan ng pag-asa. Kahit papilay-pilay po ako ay hindi po ako nahihiyang dumulog sa gym para kumilos at gumawa ng mga magagaang ehersisyo para lang po ako ay pawisan.
Sabi po ng trainor ko ay kailangang ipahinga ko po ang injury pero ako po ay nagmatigas kasi po ang dahilan ko po ay ayokong maudlot ang aking naumpisahan at uumpisa na naman ako pag ako ay tumigil. Ayoko pong mangyari yon.
So far sa ngayong week, ay medyo maayo ayos naman ang aking feeling at ako po ay nakapag-cardio na ng maayos although di pa po ako nakapagtakbo ng mabilis. Pero medyo makaya kaya ko na po. Hopefully, next week ay maging back to old routine na po ako. Medyo napansin ko na po na tumaas ang energy level ko at medyo humuhubog na rin po ang abs ko. Hehehe. Sa edad kong ito, parang hindi po kapanipaniwala. Hahaha.
So sa ngayon, ay ipagpatuloy ko lang po ang aking routines at balitaan ko na lang po kayo sa aking progress. Salamat po sa inyong pagsusubaybay at naway kayo po ay magkaroon ng matiwasay at tuloy-tuloy na araw. Paalam!

Rose Fostanes: An Inspiration Indeed
I just can't let go of my excitement watching the YouTube excerpts of the winner of X-Factor Israel. It's grand final winner was indeed an inspiration. Not to mention that she is an alien and a Filipino had gave me goosebumps. Her Cinderella story was quite the icing of the cake. It is worthy of believing yet it was a very unbelievable story especially when she is a foreigner in another country who just wanted to fulfill her ultimate dream to be a singer.
Her name is Rose Fostanes, a native of Manila. She is a 47-year-old caretaker who worked in Tel Aviv, Israel. She is overweight and had a lot of insecurities yet she surpassed the gruelling tests of the show. She was hailed as the first grand winner of the show which was just started last year and was been produced by a famous Israeli model Bar Rafaeli, who was also captivated by Rose's story.
She had said during the bootcamp of the show that she felt that other contestants were looking at her as an alien but it didn't made her lose her little confidence as what she said. She is a fighter with a big voice and she had proved it to herself and to al the contestants who eventually had softened to her and befriended her because of her extremely adorable talent. Despite of her diction and pronunciation problems she still delivers a good song. To hell with those bashers......
She slowly climbed to the grand final with much determination to fulfill her dreams. She sang classics like This is My Life, Bohemian Rhapsody, I Who Have Nothing, and My Way which was her crowning song. And some pop songs popularized by Tina Turner, Mariah Carey, Prince, Lady Gaga, Kelly Clarkson, and Christina Aguilera like Simply The Best, Without You, PurpleRain, You and I, Born This Way, You Are Beautiful, Because Of You, and You Are Beautiful.
During her journey at the show she was being mentored by Israel's number one diva Shiri Maimon for the adult category group. Shiri had took care of her so dearly and encourage dthe TV audience to vote for her and that she wanted Rose to win and help her fulfill her ambition to be a singer and yes it had happened. She was indeed the first grand winner of the new reality show in Israel wherein a lot of people had rooted and voted for Rose to win.
Congratulations Rose Fostanes for winning the first Israel's X Factor. Thank you for giving all the Filipinos and OFWs inspiration. Despite your dire situation in a foreign land you still emerged to be the best. Thank you very much for being yourself and love you very much for all your performance. I will be here waiting to buy your album and follow your success. Thank you and good luck.

Hectic Life: My Life's Reality
Here we go again. Blogging my life. Seems that I have no escape from these busy and truncated daily routines. I have no say about it because I chose my life to be like this and I am resposible of all what I do. All I have to do is face it and dance with the tune of it. Sounds like a cliche but it's the truth. I have no qualms about it.
Well, starting from waking up in the morning until I go back to bed at night I have to accustomed myself that my life will always be truncated. I am quite used to it but I noticed that I'm quite tired of it actually as I aged. The mind is still willing but the body is tired already. I just have to hone up my senses and skills to tackle the challenges everyday. And I have no idea how I did it but I passed up the day with quite no problems but still some uncertainties were there but it doesn't bother me really.
I know I am a strong person and despite the odds I know that I can finish the job despite of some setbacks that will cripple my decision making but at the end of the day I still end up victorious. I may start from baby steps but it will add up and eventually you won't notice and the task is done. Time just passed by so fast and you didn't notice it was history already. And you'll ask, how did it happened?
That is exactly what I always uttered but it seems that I am the only one who can answer that questions anyway. So be it. Life is a drama, a mystery, a comedy, and many more. Life is what we make it and we have to be responsible of what we are doing. In the end it will be our decision that will utimately be made and nobody else can twist that, unless somebody is in charge of you.
Leave it or take it life is a gift. And let's make use of it to it's maximum use so that our life will be meaningful and memorable. A hectic life is what I chose so I have to accustomed myself to it. I love what my life has to offer to me and I love what I've learned from it. In the end, I am the one who made a close symbiotic relationship with my life and I'm reaping the success of that harmonious relationship.
Oh... how I love life. It ultimately level up my ideals and I value how it made me to be. Thank you Lord for being there all the time, to guide and thread me as I tackle all the hurdles in my life. I also thank you Lord for carrying me over during those times that I needed You to carry me..... that's why I ended up successful eventually. Thanks you Lord for everything that you have done in my life. Without You I am nothing......

A Beautiful Person Named Lucas Leonel
Yeah.... this guy I met in Cancun during my recent vacation had given me so much inspiration lately. I hope you know I am gay, right. And I am currently loveless because my boyfriend in Mexico City has not been corresponding with me despite of me calling him several times on his cell phone and leaving messages on his Facebook.
Until now I haven't got any response. I went on vacation for one month in Mexico hoping to reconnect with him but he did not show up in the hotel and I was so desperate and was left alone going to Puebla so I decided to enroll in this Spanish class for three weeks to just use up my time there.
If my boyfriend had showed up we should have been going to Puerto Escondido and basked ourselves in a beautiful beach resort and spend for our honeymoon. But sad to say he did not show up and from there I know our relationship was already dwindling and was officially over.
I have no idea what had happened to him. No response or any emails. Nothing. It could be that he was ill, or maybe something huge had happened to him. It could be that he won a lotto and decided to break up with me. It could be that he was traveling in another place I don't know. Because he hasn't been responding to my messages and phone calls. No heads up about him after all my efforts or reconnecting with him.
After my three weeks Spanish class in Puebla I spend the rest of my ten days out of the one month vacation in Quintana Roo traveling the beach cities there and marveling the famous Mayan ruins from Tulum, Coba, Ek Balam, and Chichen Itza.
I met this awesome guy in Cancun. His name is Lucas Leonel. Let's just call him LL. LL is a very handsome 29-year-old Argentinian. Very shy and receptive. Cute as well. He has a lot of reservations which I like most. Very polite and charming as well. He works as a physical trainor, that is why he has this muscled up body. He is not just beautiful physically but inside as well that's is why I am easily amused about him. Some people cannot get me through looks but through their heart and this guy had hit me tenfold on this matter. Haist... Blame it on my broken heart. Hehehe.
After my vacation he wanted me to communicate with him via "Whats App" on the phone. And until now we were texting each other to catch up everyday. He was just so charming doing that to me asking me if I am exercising everyday for he wanted me to get fit. He bombarded me with a lot of good morning, how are you?, and good nights. I am swooning now....
I really owe him a lot because he is the one motivating me to go back to the gym and stay fit and healthy. Now, I can see clearly the benefits of exercise and at the same time gained the friendship of a very nice and principled person. He knows how to get me up and drag my big ass to the gym despite he is far from me. He greatly motivate me to do it and I am very compliant with it I don't know why. He has a command and very dominant in making me exercise and I like that.
We talked about our hobbies and ourselves as well as our routine exercises. I am just blown away as to where we are right now. I guess I am just inspired..... yeah. But it was really affecting my body and I can say that it does really helped.
To LL thank you very much from the bottom of my heart. Yes, I will be true with my promise to you to keep going to the gym and stay fit every day. Thanks for your friendship and for cheering and cracking me up all the time. Thanks for rescuing me from the devastation of a broken heart. To you I owe my happiness....... gracias por la amistad!

Setbacks
It is very upsetting that there are some hindrances in my journey to get fit. I am so bummed up of what had happened lately. It was really so frustrating to have experienced it. I was so determined to get into my routines but oh well things had come up not right.
I hurt myself one time while running on the treadmill. My legs become hard and firm as if I couldn't lift it anymore and then everything hurts. I almost exercised everyday that time but because of the pain I have to halt the walking and resort to an exercise that doesn't involve so much walking or running. Eventhough it hurts sometimes I have to control the pain to theleast and concentrate on my goals.
I was just frustrated because I haev to limit my movements and that my routines was being slowed down. Eventhough I don't like that I have to abide it because I don't want to incur more injury. I have to be extra careful.
Right now, I am quite limping and my gout had been flaring up and it had made me so crazy. I don't know it this was just a test or ordeal for me. I start to consider that it was a challenge for me to get stronger and aim for my goal. It is hard sometimes but I have to endure it and swallow the suffering. They say that if you don't suffer you don't know how life is. Which I agree hundred percent.
I've been to a lot of tests and challenges yet I know myself and I know how resilient I am to hurdle the hardships. It had made me a better person and that it had made me how to handle things by utilizing good and fervent decision making.
Right now, I have to take a lot of things into consideration. Setbacks are just a part of it and for me I am not really affected by it. I know I am a strong person and I know how to handle things using critical thinking.
I am not shaken with these hindrances and I gonna prove that I have to go on despite the odds. I'm so loving the outcome of my sacrifices and I just needed to be patient to make myself wonderful again. And I will get to that target in time. I just can't wait for that time and bask on the glory it will bring. Oh yeah!

Keeping And Aiming For The Plan
I'm glad that I still continue to do cardio despite of the nagging pain on my right knee and leg. I always pray to God to guide me in my exercises despite of this setbacks. I am very pumped up about this and now this dilemma had surfaced out. What a bummer!
I am a firm believer that the sun always shine behind a dark cloud. And I can analogized my current situation to this. I know that this dilemma will eventually go away so I just needed a little bit of patience to weather this new storm. Despite of whatever was happening I know that I can be successful with my plans and endeavors. I am steadfast!
Everything always happens at the right place and time. Somewhere along the road there will be some circumstances that can derail as well as advance the process. But I don't lose hope. It cannot be denied that there is always something to happen along the journey. It's just that I am very dismayed to have experienced them but I know I am a strong person and I can do it eventually.
As what I have said before, I always believe of the saying; "No pain no gain." That's why this pain that I am feeling right now will give me the outcome I needed to see in the future. If I don't go to the gym everyday then I don't feel healthy. So in order to be healthy I needed to be fit physically. That is why I go to the gym to be fit. We all know the benefits of exercise, right!
So all I needed right now is to focus on the plan one-hundred ten percent and just to keep going with the my exercise routines. I know it will give me the goal I have been asking so I just needed to be patient I guess. Going to the gym almost everyday is a habit and I am loving it, I am obsessed about it. I know God will be with me for this journey. I know it will happen and I am believing it.
Anyway, my trips to gym helped me get rid of my isolation and dawdling sometimes and I am thankful for myself to do it consistently and religiously despite how tired I am and now I am suffering from knee pain and it discouraged me to keep focus. But good thing I am headstrong and just wanted to keep going and finish the job. Please pray for me that I can make it till the end. Thank you.

Oh-Oh Not Quite A Good Start
It was a cold night outside and the fogs were already settling down the grounds casting some misty and crystal dews on the front and rear windshield of my car. I am here now at work, on my last day of work for this week, and tomorrow will be the start of my four day's off. Can't wait for the night to be over with and then resume for my exercise program tomorrow. I took today as my rest day and allowed some time for my body to recover from the sore.
So far my night was been quiet and maddeningly resolved. I didn't have that much trouble and not even a minor issues or complaints. Everything was just perfect. The whole building was so eerily quiet making me quite a little uneasy and bored but I still have a lot of things to reckon with. I am trying to make myself busy despite of the threat of the youthfulness of the night. The night is still young and I guess there's still enough room for some drastic changes, knock on the wood. And I am hoping there will be none. So bless me Lord.
I was on my fifth hour of work when the new set of certified nursing assistants just came in and changed the shift. It was a smooth change and an hour later one of the nursing assistant approached me on the nurse's station and told me discreetly that she was not feeling good. She says she felt dizzy and had vomitted earlier. She hasn't started her first rounds yet because she was just sitting at one of the corner trying to nurse her retchings. Judging by her pale and harassed appearance I can see that she is not feeling good.
I immediately paged the rest of the certified nursing assistants and heralded them the bad news. In as much as I don't want to do it I have to honestly tell them that I have to divide the other assignments and evenly distribute it to them while I am trying to look for a replacement. If I got lucky the assignment will be saved but for the meantime I needed to split the assignment so that the patients will not be neglected had they called for help or assistance.
I hate this late incident to happen especially on the wee hours of the morning. It is very frustrating and upsetting but I know it is inevitable unless it was intentionally done or dramatized. But I don't think so! With what I have observed with the concerned individual she was really sick. So in order to be safe, I have to send her home to get her much needed rest rather than gamble for some issues or injuries to happen if I opted to have her stay.
Although it entails more assignments for the remaining nursing assistants I have to make a prudent decision and my decision to send off the involved person home was just wise enough, I guess. I am so thankful that the remaining nursing assistants were just too understanding and didn't made any major fuss.
I know they were a little bit upset but they were professional enough to maturely understand. I am so blessed to have these set of mature people as a co-worker and as an effective working team. It really fattens my heart when I knew they will resolve the dilemma as a group. I told them I owe them one and I assured them that I will help them in case they needed some muscle and as a responsible supervisor I have to be there to support and help them.
I tried calling several people to come and cover but my efforts were futile and apparently it is wee morning hours and it is really difficult to callm and get one. I left some messages but didn't have any valid responses at all but I am still praying and hopeful for an angel to save the night for us. Just a wishful thinking but still immensely hopeful. Anyways, I am on guard just in case my most valued assistance is needed as what I assured the guys.
The night is still young and I am still waiting here at the nurse's station for that most priced call. So far it was a calm and quiet night and it is still a long night to reckon with. Hopefully, we will survive it and get free from the burden of this inevitably upsetting dilemma. Oh how I wish time will be fast forward and then voila the night is magnificently over!

Oh So Good
I am feeling great with my workout lately. I am so pumped up now to exercise. Although it's only cardio yet it can help me lose weight which is my ultimate goal, to go back to my ideal weight. It's hard but I have to do it. Nevertheless, I am not losing anything except the weight maybe. So I am giving it a try.
Yeah, like I said it is hard because of the pain after the workout. I know it will be temporary because at first the body is not used to the exercise. But once the body is accustomed to it it will be easy after that. Just like what they say, no pain no gain. So for the meantime I have to bear the pain and be patient. I know I was been discouraged in the past because of the nagging pain but now that I know hopefully I will not be intimidated by it.
Right now, it seems that I am accustomed to th epain already. I sometimes took acetaminophen if the pain is really achy but other that that nothing else. As long as I kept doing it my body will be in tune to it and everything will be all right after that. I am on my third week now and I can already spot the change sin my body. It will be slow but I am so excited about it.
Lucas was been following me up through Whatsup application and he congratulated me for a job well done. I am indebted with him because he is the primary motivator for me to go back to the gym. I am just glad that he is also patient with me and was very hands on for my progress. He gave me some advices on what to do so that I can maximize the benefits of my exercises. He is a doll!
So far so good. Everything is okay. My energy was been doubled and my progress just keeps soaring. I can now ran on the treadmill for an hour with no more catching of breaths. It was just a normal dose for me and I was happy about it because it can boost my metabolism. I can feel that my body was been melting the fats and been working like a natural machine. I am very happy indeed.
I also tried to control my diet to a maximum. I only eat in portions and only when I am hungry. I also refrained eating at night because my metabolism is slow. I know it will take time for my body to crank up the metabolism and so far I am just contented with my progress. Anyway, it's just the first three weeks. I cannot wait until my eight week and then evaluate the outcome. I just cannot wait for it. I will be the happiest person maybe.
Despite of all of this, I am just thankful to my motivator, Mr. Lucas, for inspiring me and for myself for the hardships and dedication that I did. I am so amazed with what I have done and I don't know how I did it but it really happened. And I thank God for being there always trying to keep me going and made me safe. So far I have no accidents yet. Thank God!

New Year New Commitment
As 2014 was ushering in it gave us the tenacity to be resilient in our daily activities. It gave us hope that we can still go ahead and make a brand new start. That's what the new year is all about and that's what 2014 will be bringing us as we welcom ethis year's "Year of the Horse."
The horse is is a calm animal. It is actually a trustworthy animal. It gives us an idea that it can be tamed and also lives in the wild. It is a muscular animal which can be relied in any heavy works or used as a means of transportation. They can be trained and also pet. So hopefully our year will be full of qualities embodied by the horse. It brings prosperity to our daily lives.
Whatever happens this year will be up to us because we are the once that suffice our destiny. We just don't rely everything to luck. We have to work and sweat in order for us to be successful. With caution as well it will help us from being in trouble. And we have to make a wise decisions before acting so that everything will be worthwhile. Although mistakes were inevitable yet we were learning from them. That's why resiliency was inate in us. It just probably come in handy, I guess.
I was just happy for myself because I have found this renewed energy to go back to the gym again. I did not set any resolutions this year because of the fact that I am an unpredictable person and I tend to break it along the way. But right now, I am just overjoyed with my dedication and deligence to exercise everyday. Running was my avenue to beat boredom and I'm quite accustomed to it already.
My body was been immune to running and I don't get tired easily, as what I have noticed. Although at first I was this close to give up but I still help up myself and believe that I can do it till I was accustomed to it. Now, it was just a piece of cake for me. I gradually felt the changes in my body and weight and I was happy about the result. I am just thrilled for it.
I've been back at the gym for two weeks now and the changes in my body was pretty much evident and imminent. I am just thrilled about it. I can't wait to see the changes in a month or two months time. I am still hopeful that I can held on until I reached my goal to keep my ideal weight. I am hoping and praying that I can still continue to run and that God will be with me in my journey to good health.
I am just proud of myself and this is a good start for 2014. Nevertheless, of the setbacks last year, here I am still standing tall. It's just inspiring that I made a sound decision to go back to the gym. And by the way, it was not possible without the motivation of my friend in Cancun (his name is Lucas). He is a personal trainer and he keeps reminding me and asking me if I go to the gym through "Whatsup Application" in iPhone.
How nice for him to help me and motivate me to exercise. He is my guardian angel from now on for my exercise routines. He keeps me abreast of my routine, progress, and diet. He is very keen about my daily exercises. I thanked him for all his encouragements. Had I not met him I probably be proscrastinating forever.
I think everything that had happened in my life has a reason. And meeting Lucas had probably some reasons as well. And I thanked God for all the blessings that I've got last year. And hopefully this year will be a fruitful one. Happy "Year of the Horse" guys and good luck to all of us. Cheers to good helath, success, and long life!
