Thread Line

He stared at me, "Ah you look so sweet." He stared at me like I was the most beautiful woman he has ever seen in his entire life. It was a threadline to giving in, threadline to having a man who is willing to hold my hand, willing to take good care of me. I had to push myself back just so we can't get any closer together. I had to exert all efforts to divert the attention from that rather awkward, I can't find it romantic, moment.
 
The rigid reactions my body gave as gestures to his attempts of holding and hugging clearly told him and myself that I just can't. As we parted, he called the night away,"Ah, it's time for me to wake up."

It would be the lamest excuse, if not a lie, if I tell him or myself that I am not ready for relationships. Because I am. I'm just certain of what I want. And that isn't just him.

Weekend Palawanderer

Where: Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Philippines

When: September 10-14, 2010

Make sure to dine in at Sari's Baryo, checkout their, read: YUM YUMMY Kare-Kare and local dish, Binakol; get your cup of coffee at the city's local Starbucks - Itoy's; drink sub-zero beer while 'chopsticking' the exotic Tamilok and 'spoonforking' Adobadong Crocodile at Kinabuch's in the evening; hop on at Tiki Restobar for live music with one more round of seafood feast; go get breakfast at Balai Inato for the infamous Chicken Inato; have an extremely delightful lunch at KaLui; and finally, nomnom a cheap yet oh-so-good Vietnamese special beef noodle at Lou Chaolong to end your short Palawanderer trip.

Of course, allot a day for one of the thousand and one places to see before you die, the Underground River; and another, to swim with the fishes along Honda Bay islets.

I'm 25 and Going Nowhere

Probably the main thing that convinced me to get a smartphone is the fact that I can blog anytime anywhere like today's case. I'm at the Central Public Library now hoping to get my time utilized wisely in studying, something which I think is way better productive than sitting my ass at home sticking my eyes glued to watching a show I don't even really like. I feel guilty everytime. When my clock ticks I want it to be of value.

For the past year or months maybe, I've felt the changes slowly creeping over me. I started thinking differently. I've started thinking about career, money, security, future. More than that I have noticed the trivial changes. I no longer run in haste to catch the bus because I'm gonna be late. I no longer get impatient with a red traffic light that shows up every stop. I wait on a green light while everyone starts crossing the road even if it is still a stop sign. Everytime I walk past people, I silently stare and start wondering, seriously.

In a few months time, maybe after a quarter, I'd like to write another blog part 2 of this but with the title "I WAS 25 and Going Nowhere." I need to start doing something.

1 Pound of Fat Is Equal to 3500 Calories

So I've lost 2.3 Kg in 29 days. I'm on my 1 month and 2nd week today taking this program. Apart from taking supplements for 3 months and minimizing food intake, I have downloaded an iPhone App called MyFitnessPal as my calorie counter. In 50 days, I have to consume 1200 calories a day for fat loss. I am able to follow that, most of the time. Seriously, you have to have a light breakfast, a moderate lunch and a super light dinner in order to achieve the 1200cal a day goal. It takes discipline. I target to lose 7 more Kg in another 1.5 months time. This time around, I must stop cheating and lazing from at least 3 times a week cardio workout to maximize the effects. Let's see what happens by November 24, 2010. I can't wait!

I have just hit Google and here's a valuable website I have found providing customized calorie intake calculator and free sensible tips about proper dieting: CalorieCalculator. I need 1109 calories daily for extreme fat loss - close to accurate to my daily goal.
