I think I'm not being serious with my project. I was distracted yesterday since I did not workout/nor pushed myself to do some cardio exercises.

Geez! how am i supposed to meet my target? i need inspiration/motivation to pursue this.
why is it always hard to loose weight?

Wow! i never thought that my blog is still active/online after 5 years =)

Many things has happened for the last 5 years and those things/experiences has made me a better person (i hope so =)).

You know what has pushed me/rather made me think to visit my blogsite? It's after I have watched Julie&Julia movie. The power of blogging is still alive eventhough there's facebook, friendster, twitter that eats away most of my time in the net.

I'd like to say that somehow, this is my space/my personal space where I could be more of myself. You see from watching the movie, I got somewhat inspired from Julie having accomplished something for herself. And I would like to think that it is time that I also have to add a purpose in my life. A purpose that will satisfy myself.

One of the things that has changed in me during those past 5 years is my physical appearance (that's natural). Gosh! I've gained more weight! damn those weekly group snacks in our office and as well as those late night snacks when being trapped in our deadlines =(

Well I think that could be a good project for me.
I need to 'shrink' myself back to my size 5 years ago. Is that possible?
I'll give myself 6 months..from a 115 lbs, let's see if I could trim down to 105 by Feb 2010.

Wishful thinking! But I have to be positive about this project for myself.
(and then I have to say my final goodbye to Cheetos w/c I have just finished munching 10 mins ago..great!)

Ok, I think I have to shutdown my TV and go back to my cardio exercise.
let's see what will happen after a week =)

As you know it has been a year since I visited my blogger (Sorry!). I've been busy in my work. You see I'm working as a Programmer in a Holding Company. About stuffs about me..i've forgotten that too (hey! i've got alzheimer's disease..nah!)

i'm just visiting for now..i have to think of a good story for you guys..just give me time.

always have a nice day! keep the faith...God Bless us ALL!

Hello again! Well, i really want to apologize for not updating my weblog...I've been thinking of stuff that i could write for you guys. Last time while i was on my way home, i suddenly thought of some of the morbid things that could happen if i die. Don't get me wrong, i'm just being realistic, u see it it a common fact that everybody will die, whatever reason, but we really cannot tell as to when it will come to us.

Then i thought of my family, my friends, and everything else that means so much to me. One of the resolution, or rather things that i want to do before i die, is to write some of the facts about me. You know i don't have a diary...it is not totally a daily keeper of events of my life, i just want to give and share to you some of the highlights in my life that has mold me to become of who i am today..

Bits by bits, i will give u an update, BUT, not all of them are true..i mean, i might just feel like writing of an example, writing in riddles, in metaphor..It is up to you on how will you be able to figure out if that is a fact or just a fiction, a product of my wild imagination...I think it is enough introduction for now...good day!!!

How time flies..it's April again, time for vacation, reunion and as well as a time for self-reflection.

I am not used to getting my thoughts published in the net, that's why I used to write small stuff in my page. Until now, i am still exploring the features of weblog, well, i think that's the main reason. Once i get used to it, a lot of interesting views can be read on and enjoyed by people like you here in my blog..

Something nice to read...A CUP of COFFEE

A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her.
She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up.
She was tired of fighting and struggling.
It seemed as one problem was solved a new one arose.

Her mother took her to the kitchen.
She filled three pots with water.

In the first, she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs and the last she placed ground coffee beans.

She let them sit and boil without saying a word.
In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners.
She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl.
She pulled the eggs out & placed them in a bowl.
Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl.

Turning to her daughter, she asked, "Tell me, what do you see?"

"Carrots, eggs, and coffee," the daughter replied.
She brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots.
She did & noted that they were soft.
She then asked her to take an egg and break it.
After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg.
Finally, she asked her to sip the coffee.
The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma.

The daughter then asked, "What's the point, mother?
" Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity -- boiling water -- but each reacted differently.

The carrot went in strong, hard and unrelenting.
However after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak.
The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior.
But, after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened. the ground coffee beans were unique, however.
After they were in the boiling water they had changed the water.

"Which are you?" she asked her daughter. "When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond?
Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?"

Think of this: Which am I?

Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity, do I wilt and become soft, lose my strength and have no more confidence?

Am I the egg that starts with a soft and compasionate heart, but changes with the heat?
Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial a stiff spirit and a hardened heart?

Or am I like the coffee bean?
The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain.
When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor.
If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get betterand change the situation around you.
When the hours are the darkest and trials at their greatest do you elevate to another level by releasing more love, more compassion and have faith that God has, is and will always be with you?

How do you handle Adversity and Heartbreak?

ARE YOU A CARROT, AN EGG, OR A COFFEE BEAN?

hi everybody! testing only...

What a life!
