Eating alone is depressing... Thank heavens there's free wifi and unfinished paperwork...

My emo moment is alleviated by this clip. Inspiring!

Sharing My Blessings

A couple of days ago a distraught female came to my office looking for someone who could donate blood.

Her husband needs type A blood and we have the same type.

I looked at her worried face and I decided right there and then that I'll donate my blood.

my colleagues took a picture of me during extraction...

After 20 minutes I'm done. I went back to my office and resumed work.

Benefits of Donating 

• It feels great to donate!
• You get free juice or bottled water and crackers (I chose bottled water because I'm on strict diet) 
• It's something you can spare – most people have blood to spare... yet, there is still not enough to go around.
• You will help ensure blood is on the shelf when needed – most people don't think they'll ever need blood, but many do.
• You will be someone's hero – in fact, you could help save more than one life with just one donation.

Ramblings and Foolishness

I wish I have a camera, I wanna capture this vista...


 the sky is changing it's color, it's dusk... 

Majestic comes to my mind... 

Don't know why...

I'll describe what I'm seeing... 

The shadow of boats and vintas sailing, dusty colors of the sky that ranges from the color gray to red, dusky violet to orange, grayish orange, sky blue that reminds me of mother Mary. 

Feathery grey clouds outlined with dark Grayish orange panorama, twinkling stars,bleeping lights.. 

In the background, sound of waves crashing the shores, the high pitched voice of swimming children, couples, group of friends sitting on the shoreline whispering... Talking... Music playing. 

What's missing? Words are not enough to describe the things that I'm seeing and the emotions that plays with my heart and thoughts that's running in my head. 

Sadness, envy, yearning, sliver of contentment, snippet of happiness... 

A whole gamut of emotions running through my mind, heart and soul.

Wishing for someone to come by, start a conversation.... Sigh... 

I wanna go to a dark spot, lie down and view the skies, figure out the constellations...

------------------------------

It's twilight and I will challenge myself today. 

I'm going to talk to a stranger before going to sleep. 

This is my last night here... 

Hmm I feel like a predator.... 

Shocks!

My mind is telling me to not get through this insane challenge... 

but my longing for company is stronger...

Trying to scan the crowd looking for someone to talk to... 

I'm not good at this...  

How about talking to a group, that's less threatening... 

But how to start a conversation? 

Looking for a "prey"... Shocks I feel like I'm a lecherous old guy preying the young and the innocent.... 

Can I choose female? 

Yep, I know it defeats the point. 

I'm scared of making conversations with men so I need to talk to a man and swallow my fear... 

It all boils down to confidence, am I confident? Do I have the guts to do this?

I think I have...

but 

there's no prospect here...

Maybe I need Change location...

Closer to the shore, maybe I'll have more luck... I'm crazy!

This is not working, It's almost 22:00...

It's not my lucky night...

hmmm Contemplating about taking a dip... Skinny dipping...

Give me a second I

I need to get my story straight
My friends are in the bathroom
getting higher than the empire state
my lover she's waiting for me
just across the bar
My seats been taken by some sunglasses
asking 'bout a scar
and I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you're trying to forget
but between the drinks and subtle things
the holes in my apologies
you know I'm trying hard to take it back
so if by the time the bar closes
and you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home 

Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter 
than the sun

Tonight
we are young
so let's set the world on fire
we can burn brighter
than the sun

Now I know that I'm not
all that you got
I guess that I
I just thought maybe we could find a ways to fall apart
But are friends in back
So let's raise a cup
Cause I found someone to carry me home 

Tonight
We are young
So let's the set the world on fire
we can burn brighter
than the sun

Tonight
We are young
so let's set the world on fire
we can burn brighter
than the sun

Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight

The world is on my side
I have no reason to run
So will someone come and carry me home tonight
The angels never arrived
but I can hear the choir
so will someone come and carry me home 

Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
we can burn brighter
than the sun

Tonight
We are young
so let's set the world on fire
we can burn brighter
than the sun

So if by the time the bar closes
and you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home tonight

As of 23:00 I was not able to accomplish my challenge of talking to a stranger but I was able to skinny dip ;)

Metamorphosis

I am changing.

My metamorphosis started when I drastically changed my diet and exercise habit.

That was first week of October and my goal was to achieve my former weight of 144 lb.

I was 155 lb when I started my "lemon diet".

But instead of using the pictured ingredients (above) for lemon diet, I used calamansi extract, cayenne pepper and organic honey. My ingredients are more economical and it's available in a nearby puregold grocery.

The lemon or Calamansi's purpose is to cleanse our body with toxins, the honey will provide the needed nutrients and the dash of pepper will help curve your appetite.

Here's my procedure in mixing this concoction;
1. Mix 2 teaspoons of honey (I used palawan honey) with a lukewarm water (500 ml)
2. Squeeze 4 pieces of calamansi or 1 whole lemon.
3. Put a dash of cayenne pepper (I used mccormick - dalawang tak-tak lang because this is too spicy)
4. Drink the concoction immediately. You don't want the lemon or calamansi extract to oxidize because it will lose it's potency. Scientific literature's claims that oxidation process starts immediately after slicing the lemon/calamansi and the author of this diet advised to drink the concoction not more than 10 seconds after preparation.

The effect is you'll be using the loo an hour after ingesting this concoction.

Together with aerobic exercise, I ran 30 minutes a day, losing 1000+ calories the first week, 1500+ calories the second week and 2000 calories for the third week using the office treadmill (rainy days) and running from my place to CCP (that's approximately 8 miles) on clear days.

healthy diet - a cup of rice or any carbs a day with 1 fruit and 1 serving of viand.

and the concoction, I lose 10 lb in 3 weeks.

Currently, I'm maintaining my weight by eating healthy and regular exercise.

This is the reason why I changed my profile pic from this,

Chrolli of Verbotene Liebe (this another story)

To this,

 my new/old physique, taken in Coron, Palawan (Camera shy talaga ako hehehe)

I got the diet info from  her http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=732884

I regained my physique 2 weeks ago and the next stage of my transformation came this weekend and it's about my negative self image


That's another story to tell...

Beso beso

Bothered and Bewildered

I can't sleep...

I'm blaming these hot girls....

My loins are stirred into frenzy...

I can't help touching my turgid member...

This is utter madness...


----------------
Hopefully after releasing my pent up sexual energy...

I can now go to sleep.
