One is enough, two is gluttony

A lot of bloggers are getting money (moolahs as what Ate Ria Calls it) from blogging, but for me, i getting much food. We ate a lot today. We went to Pepper and Peppers for lunch and Hanoi for Dinner.

Whew! That's what we call gluttony. Batang Yagit is getting MORE healthy these days. I'm exerting some efforts in reducing my weight. But the food trips are irresistible. Can you think of a way where I eat a lot without ever gaining so much weight?

Few weeks ago, I went to my Tita's house which is not far from our house. The first thing she said, "You are getting fat, 'wag kang papasobra."

Ok. I'm gaining weight, getting fat, getting ugly. So what? At least I'm able to eat good food, ehem, a lot of good davao food.

We're still on our 6th leg of the Davao Bloggers Food Trip. There's still more to come, (I guess).

Abala sa pag-aayos ng buhok

Kakarating ko lang ng bahay at buhok agad ang inatupag ko. Nagpagupit ako kanina sa mall at medyo bago ang style ng buhok ko. Medyo matagal na rin akong hindi gumagamit ng gel, wax at gum sa pag-aayos ng buhok ko. Sa loob ng dalawang taon, yung tipong suklay lang eh ayos na ayos na.

Medyo manipis ang buhok kaya nagkakaroon ako ng problema tuwing iniiklian ang haba ng buhok ko. Bumabagsak ito at mahirap ayusin. Napansin naman agad ito ng taga-gupit. Kaya nilagyan niya ng kaunting "texture" ang buhok ko. Ang ibig sabihin, may ginawa siyang hokus pokus para magmukhang makapal ang buhok ko. Pagkatapos gupitan, tinuruan niya ako kung pano ayusing ang buhok ko. Gumamit siya ng hair gum sa pag-aayos.

Pagkatapos kong magpagupit, pumunta agad ako sa Watson's para bumili ng hair gum. At dahil tig-1,100.00 pesos ang ginamit niyang hair gum sa buhok ko, at dahil wala akong balak na bumili ng ganoong kamahal ng pampaarte ng buhok, hair wax na lang ang kinuha ko.

At dahil excited, pagkagaling ko ng gym, agad-agad kong binuksan ang binili kong hair wax. Sinubukan kong ayusing ang buhok ko. Ok naman siya. Mas pangit nga lang kumpara sa ayos ng gumupit sa akin pero ok na rin. At dahil naligo ako sa gym at tuyo na ang buhok ko pagkadating ng bahay, saktong-sakto ang set-up ng buhok ko para ayusan. Kailangang magpraktis muna para hindi magkagulo ang buhay ko bukas ng umaga.

Yun lang muna sa ngayon dahil ako'y matutulog na.

Buh-bay wrinkles

Injections of botox in San Diego are becoming famous these days. I tried doing a Google search for that phrase and 189,000 results were returned. I have heard of "botox" a lot of times before. It was even used in one of the cartoon shows that I saw (I forgot what it was) where it was called BatOx.

What is Botox?

A neurotoxin which, when used in very low doses, relaxes or temporarily paralyzes the contractive muscles which cause frown lines. Treatment is non-surgical in the form of injections which smooth deep persistent lines between brows or in the forehead. Botox paralyzes facial muscles, while Puragen fills in the space beneath wrinkles. Each acts in a different way, but may be used to complement each other.
Basically, based on how I understand it, botox eliminates unwated wrinkles for aging people. Is is safe for the patient's health? That, I'm not sure.

My henna tattoo in Bora

It's the first tattoo design that I had. It's my henna tattoo when we went to Boracay.

Henna tattoos are not bad after all. They easily wash off after a couple of days. Of course, there are no health hazards unlike with permanent tattoos. If you are interested of having your own tattoos designs, you can check Design My Tattoos and have your custom designed tattoo.

The gym's getting crowded

I've been working out at the gym for three weeks now. Most often, I go to the gym during peak hours because it's the only time where I got no class. Nothing much have changed on my physique but changes can be noticed inside the gym. For three weeks, we have seen new gym enrollees entering the gym everyday. We get to see more or less two enrollees being oriented on the gym facilities everyday.

It's my habit to always take a shower after my 2-hour workout. But this evening, I didn't have the chance to do so. The male locker room was so crowded that there were still few people waiting to take their turn outside the shower cubicles. I didn't want to wait and I immediately left.

I was not the only person who noticed the increase of people enrolled in the gym. My friend, Henelsie, said that she noticed it too. We both saw the numerous number of unclaimed membership cards at the front desk. Whew.

I wish I can get a good class schedule next semester so that I don't need to go to gym during peak hours.

P.S. I noticed a week ago that local talents from ABS-CBN are enrolled in our gym too. Ala lang.

Getting fit and healthy

I started going out to the gym yesterday with my buddies. I used my earnings from blogging to enroll myself in a 3-month gym program. It was not a serious one actually since these buddies already finished their licensure examination, they might not be doing anything aside from their work. So they decided to go to the gym to trim down their bodies because they earned weight after our durian trips in the city. They invited me to go with them and for no concrete reason, I agreed.

We were a bit nervous at first since we are still gym neophytes. (hahahaha). We don't have idea which equipment to use, what to do and where to go. Thank God the people there are accomodating. (I have to mention Mating, the front desk girl who accompanied us) So we were assigned to a gym instructor Tophe.

Kuya Tophe was the one who taught us which equipment to use. We had a cardio exercise, legs, arms and back exercise. I hate the machine for tricep and bicep exercise. It made my muscles tremble. Whew. It's not bad for first time though.

Anyway, one of my buddies texted me this morning asking me what time we are going this afternoon. I guess she's excited. Lol.

P.S. I found one classmate who goes to the same gym. At least I have someone to go with when these buddies are at work.
