It's Fun to Run

Philippine Daily Inquirer recently held 25 for 25, a fun run event in celebration of the nation’s leading newspaper 25^th year anniversary at Bonifacio Global City. This was actually my first run for this year. I finished my 5K run at 43 minutes. (Di nalalayo sa last time record ko, walang masyadong improvement. Ganun yata talaga kapag tumatanda na!)

 

"Running is a fabulous workout to condition your body. It serves as the perfect remedy to get rid of your flabby abs and shed those extra pounds on your body. Not only it helps in fastening your weight loss program, but also it helps to overcome aging problem and thus makes you look ten years younger. In the present times, people are leading such an unhealthy lifestyle that they virtually have no time to workout, to strengthen their body and to keep fit. It is, thence, that running helps in strengthening your body muscles and keeping you in shape. Running also closes the gateway for diseases like breast cancer, heart stroke, diabetes, hypertension etc, thus protecting you from the clutches of these ugly problems." (http://www.iloveindia.com/)

Konting effort pa, career na ‘to, (hehe)! Meanwhile, I think I need some good massage here. That was a bit tiring.

I'm getting ready for my 10K run next week. 

A Trip to Palawan

The plan was to look for an overseas promo tour package but having a second thought, mukhang sabit di kaya ng budget. Daming bills, settle ko muna.

I learned about this Travel Tour Expo at SMX, MOA.

Everyone was going crazy about the tour promos, mostly abroad. Travel agencies, airlines, hotels and establishments offered a nice and affordable vacation packages. Kung mahina-hina ang control power mo, lagot ang savings! 

I’ve never been to Palawan, so I grabbed this one. 

(Booking was on-site only.)

(Travel period: the whole year of 2011)

See you there.

Cheesy!

The night was cool. I was at McCafe at Mcdonald's with a friend, just hanging out. (short yung budget kaya dito na lang, mas mura!)

Something caught my attention. Ngayon ko lang to napansin pasensya na kung nakita nyo na ‘to!

The Mcdonald's Equation:

Cheesecake + love = couple?

(Teka parang magkumpare sila hehe)

Whatever it is, love is still in the air!

Be Happy!

So, the long week got you burned out from work, there’s a reason to celebrate, it’s FRIDAY!

We have an email blast in the office once in a while, tips and work related stuff that are worth reading. Here, this might help a bit. 

Flying High

It was hot. I’m talking about the weather. Nabilad kami ng todo. I was in Clark last weekend to experience the Hot Air Balloon Festival. We’re almost late. We arrived at 7am, ayun konting balloon na lang naabutan pero astig yung Aircraft Formation at Skydiving Exhibition.

It was a great day though. Next year ulit.

Here are some of my shots.

Time to eat ..

Puzzled II

I was browsing my pc and got stuck once again with this puzzle. I’ve been answering this for a long time and I know my mind is already tortured so I give up. Anyway, it’s almost done (sa tulong ng mga genius dito sa office.

Before I end up complaining of headache, help me guys for the remaining 7 blanks.

Let me know.

    

I see you

I think my boss is out so I’m here. I just want to discuss something I find interesting.

So guys bear with me. Some of you ladies (should I say all) keep irritating when your man can’t get enough of staring other women. Stare is just a stare, no touch! (pero kung may iniisip pang iba, sya na lang may control dun)

This explains why,

Bakit Mahilig Tumingin Ang Lalaki Sa Boobs At Pwet

MRT. Bus. Jeep. Mall. Classroom. Office. Bar. Kahit saan ka yata pumunta, makakakita ka ng isa o grupo ng mga lalake na matitigilan at mamamangha sa presence ng isang babae (minsan ex-lalake) na may malaking boobs o magandang hugis ng pwet. May mambabastos, may mapapangiti, may mapapatitig, at ang karamihan ay gagamit ng kanilang "pornographic memory" para magamit pag-uwi sa bahay.

May isa akong nakilalang babae na malaki yung boobs, 36C. Naiinis siya kasi lahat ng kausap niyang lalaki hindi maka-maintain ng eye-to-eye contact. Isa na ako dun sa mga lalaking yon. Dati naman kasama ko yung girlfriend ko. Nag-away kami dahil hindi ko namalayan na nasundan ko pala ng tingin yung isang babaeng mala-Jennifer Lopez ang likod. At nang minsang nakasakay ako sa bus at walang maupuan, hindi ko mapigil lingunin nang lingunin ang cleavage nung isang nakaupo.

Dito ako napatigil at napaisip. Manyak ba ako? Ano nga ba ang dahilan kung bakit mahilig tumingin ang lalaki sa boobs at pwet ng babae? Tsaka bakit halos lahat ng lalaki, hindi lang ako? Bakit madaming nagpapalaki ng boobs para mapansin lang? Bakit prerequisite ang hugis ng katawan para masabi mong maganda talaga ang isang babae?

Sa paghahanap ng mga kasagutan sa mga tanong na ito, sinubukan kong mag-search sa Google. Maniwala kayo sa akin, mahirap maghanap ng kasagutan sa tanong na "Why men love looking at big breasts" sa internet. Hindi kasagutan ang ibibigay sa yo kundi mga links sa porn sites. Buti na lang may kakilala ako na nagsabi sa kin na tumingin sa "evolutionary psychology". Evolution as in Darwin, Psychology as in Freud.

Ayon sa mga sites at forums na nagdi-discuss ng evolutionary psychology, iisa lang ang direction ng evolution. Ito ay ang pag-maximize ng chances sa survival. Ang lalaki ay pipili ng babae na makakapag-ensure ng survival ng kanyang offspring, at ang babae naman ay pipili ng lalake na makakapagbigay ng magandang genes.

Hindi na ako nagtataka kung bakit ang mga babae ngayon ay tumitingin agad sa CAR-acter at sa PESO-nality ng lalaki. Ito ay rooted sa mga ninuno natin na ang pinakamagaling na lalaki sa isang tribe ay ang pinakamaraming maiuuwing game mula sa hunting nila. Natural na sa babae ang maghanap ng isang "provider".

Gayun din na ang fixation ng lalaki sa malalaking boobs ay rooted daw sa idea na ang mga ito ay makakapagbigay ng "nourishment and sustenance". Kapag malaki ang boobs, mas malaki ang chances ng survival ng offspring. Ang pagtingin naman sa pwet ay natatagpuan din sa ating mga kapatid na primates, specifically ang mga chimpanzees, na kung saan pag "available for sex" ang isang babaeng chimp, inilalapit nya ang kanyang pwet sa head monkey para lamas-lamasin at kurut-kurutin. Pag nagustuhan ito ng alpha male monkey, doon sila magse-sex. Nakakatawa kung iisipin, pero ang pagtingin ko pala sa boobs at pwet ay bahagi lang ng aking nature as a male. Ika nga ng tatay ni Jim sa American Pie, "it's a perfectly natural thing". Kung totoo ito, bakit masama ang tumingin? Tingin lang naman e. Walang hawak, walang hipo. Tingin lang. Siguro nga, kultura lang ang nagpabago ng perspective natin sa natural urge na ito. Dahil sa relihiyon, ang pagtingin sa katawan ng babae ay nilagyan ng label na "pagnanasa". Dahil sa media, ang mga artistang babae na maganda ang boobs at pwet ay tinatakan na "sex symbol" o "pantasya ng bayan". At dahil sa marketing, ang liposuction, breast enhancement, at kung anu-ano pang retoke sa katawan ay ginagawa "to enhance the self confidence of a woman". Ang mga revealing na bra, ang mga push-up bra, ang mga binebenta sa TV na breast creams, yung cycling shorts na nage-enhance ng butt cheeks, ay tinatatakan na "personality enhancement apparel/tools". At shempre, ang mga lalaking katulad ko na tumitingin lang ay tinatatakan na "manyak".

Hey Mr. Jones

It was a Saturday night, medyo crowded sa labas. We went to Greenbelt for a supposed dinner date at this restaurant called Lamaison. We’re approaching the place and learned that is temporarily closed. Okay, hanap ng iba. Medyo nagmamadali pa nman kami, nagrereklamo na tyan ko. Besides, ang daming coño hehe di ako sanay!

We agreed to dine at Mr. Jones. It was my first time to that nice and cozy restaurant and I must say I’ll be coming back.

Their U.S Beef Ribcap Tapa and Garlic Overload is a bestseller. Try this one, sulit nman ibabayad nyo.

Oo may rice na’ ko tapos meron pang Rosemary Grilled Chicken and Turkey Melt sandwich!  Food trip to.

It was a good good night!

HOW TO CONTROL OUR EMOTIONS

So, this is anger management 101.


I know we all got mad at some point. We talked here about stress several weeks ago, stress that can lead to that level of emotion. Pwedeng manood ka lang ng soap opera tiyak magagalit ka sa kontrabida.


I am reposting this article about the topic. (thought this might help) 

This would give you guides on how to control your emotions towards your better-half, friends, officemates and all the people around you, especially your "boss". The rules of practicing " ugaling langit, ugaling kaaya-aya": 

#1 Ang naunang magalit ang may karapatang magalit. Pag naunahan ka na ng galit niya, tumahimik ka na lang muna. 

#2 Walang taong nag-aaway mag-isa. Pag hindi kayo sumagot o pumatol, titigil din daw ang taong nakikipag- away sa inyo. 

#3 Ang taong galit, 'bingi.'If someone is angry, wala raw pinakikinggan, so, don't try to explain and fight back. Hindi ka niya iintindihin dahil wala siyang naririnig kundi ang sarili nya. 

#4 Ang taong galit, 'abnoy.'Ayon sa pastor, Biblical daw ito? because the Lord said when He was crucified, "Father, patawarin mo sila dahil hindi nila alam ang kanilang ginagawa." Modern term for these kinds of people are abnoys, so you better not get angry para huwag kang matawag na abnoy. 

You should also know and realize that the persons who make your day bad are jewels, because you need them for you to mature. Hangga't andyan daw sila at kinaiinisan mo, ibig sabihin, immature ka pa. God will not take away those people; it's for you to take away your bad feelings towards them. You'll know na mature ka na pag dumating 'yung time na hindi ka na naiinis sa mga taong ito because you have learned to accept them and to have patience with them.

#5And finally, the best part of this is to tell yourself na, because of this person, "I will grow mature," and that

DAHIL SA CONTRIBUTION NIYA SA MATURITY MO, KUKUNIN DIN SYA NI LORD!

Sorry for the annoying large red image in here. (Nakikiisa lang sa lahat ng nagdiriwang ngayong buwan ng pag-ibig.)

I may not have enough for you to offer

No, I’m not perfect that’s for sure

But believe me my heart will always here

And hold you through all the way

No words might express my gratitude

For our hearts dwelled together as one out of the solitude

And hope that I will always see your smile

Even until the day I die

(That's for her) ..
