Do you want to lose weight?

2010-11-03T23:49:00.000-07:00

(taken from http://lollitop.blogspot.com/2009/04/human-evolution.html)

Are you serious about losing weight?

When are you going to give up on this idea?

Here are some studies.

"According to the Center for Disease Control, we are eating ourselves into a diabetes epidemic."
http://www.diabeticcareservices.com/diabetes-education/diabetes-and-obesity

"The prevalence of overweight and obesity among the study subjects (1822 boys fromGrade I to VII of a private school in Metro Manila) was very high.
Majority of the school boys were from the middle and upper socioeconomic classes with
Chinese ancestry, which could be considered a “high risk” population.
In the developing country like the Philippines, obesity was notably found in the affluent
socioeconomic classes."
http://www.obesity.org.ph/files/research/overweight_manila.pdf

Boring?

How about this...

(taken from http://ohiosurgery.blogspot.com/2008/04/fourniers-gangrene.html)

Don't wait until this happens to you or to your loved ones.

Again, are you serious about losing weight?

YES?

*****IN TAGLISH*****

Magkakaroon po ako ng pa-quest sa FB in exchange for P5k to be donated to UPLB DOST SS 25th Anniversary (ayoko sanang sabihin na magdo-donate ako ng 5k kaya tinago ko ang prize sa pangalang "Gold Magnet"). Simple lang, maglalaban si Bert and si Arxz with the help of other SS pips. Dahil addict ako sa PVZ, tatawagin kong Zombies ang team ni Arxz and Plants ang team ni Bert. Para magkaron ng participation kahit papano ang mga SS pips sa anniv at para naman ma-feel ng marami ang upcoming anniv. Oo, 25 years na ang SS.

Unang quest - Kung sino ang pinaka-maraming* ma-convince na SS pips na jumoin sa team nya ang panalo.

Ano ang gagawin? Dun sa pinost kung pic, imbes na ang i-comment nyo ay "ang galing naman ng nag-edit ng picture" o kaya "maliit ang noo ni Arxz sa picture" e eto i-comment nyo:

"plants" (kung gusto nyo sa team ni Bert)

or

"zombies" (kung gusto nyo sa team ni Arxz)

Kung sino ang pinakaraming* nag-comment ng team nya un ung panalo.

But wait, there's more.

*May equivalent points po ung team member na sasali, eto na:

Resident Member - 20 points
Resident Alumni - 10 points
Alumni - 5 points
Bonus:
Former EXECOM - 5 points
Charter Member - 30 points

Eto po ung picture na pinost ko. Pakihanap na lang sa wall ko.

Bakit ko ginagawa 'to? Because I can hahaha! Kidding aside, it's because SS needs it and it just so happens that I have it. :D

What do I get from this, page views...hehehe. "Law of Reciprocity"

So, ano pa iniintay mo? Join na!

"The Japan Foundation, Manila (JFM) and the Metropolitan Museum of Manila,
in cooperation with the Embassy of Japan present, ï¿½out of the ordinary/
extraordinaryï¿½ a Japanese Contemporary Photography Exhibit featuring the

Galleries (Calma, Ho and Luz Galleries) and the Catwalk Gallery of the
Metropolitan Museum of Manila.

The 102 works by featured artists Ishiuchi Miyako, Chin Yo Mi, Okada Hiroko,

Hishikari Shunsaku, Onodera Yuki and Yoneda Tomoko, present different series
of photographs of young women with heavily tanned face, light colored
make-up and bleached hair; strangers who agreed to be photographed standing
in their own homes with their windows opened; and young people who resort to
tattoos, body piercing and strange hairstyles in order to express their
individuality.

The Metropolitan Museum of Manila is located at the Bangko Sentral ng
Pilipinas Complex, Roxas Boulevard, Manila. It is open from Monday to
Saturday, 9 am to 6 pm.

My fave ROTR renditions

2009-05-06T09:25:00.000-07:00

These are some of my favorite renditions. Speaking of renditions, I think Martin did a surprisingly tasteful rendition of the national anthem. I don't understand the law. If you know the words by heart, however it's sang by whoever, it's still the national anthem. It's meant for you to think of your country.

Anyway, listen to these:

The BIGGEST Pizza

2009-04-02T23:06:00.000-07:00

I've lived in Sta. Rosa, Laguna for as long as I can remember, but I just found out about this pizza place that makes the biggest pizza I've seen last month. Looking at the glass mirror while the crew prepares the 30-inch pizza, I thought to myself, "If I buy this pizza, I could probably finish the whole thing in one month, if I eat it everyday."

The BEST CHOCOLATE CAKE in my world

2009-02-27T20:17:00.000-08:00

I have tasted a lot of chocolate cakes and I must say that nothing compares to the chocolatey taste of Mernel's chocolate cakes. They don't cost as much as Craving's or Conti's but they taste so much better. Those who don't live in Laguna or haven't been there may not have heard of this cake house. But, it's really famous in Los Baños, Laguna where I spent my college years.

The cake house is located near UPLB. So, if you happen to pass by that area, you will miss half of your life if you don't buy one of Mernel's chocolate cakes. Seriously, just try one.

I always try to buy one during special occasions.
