Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school.  He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.

Rule 1 : Life is not fair – get used to it!

Rule 2 : The world won’t care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3 : You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won’t be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

Rule 5 : Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.

Rule 6 : If you mess up, it’s not your parents’ fault, so don’t whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7 : Before you were born, your parents weren’t as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent’s generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8 : Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they’ll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn’t bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9 : Life is not divided into semesters. You don’t get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.

Rule 10 : Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11 : Be nice to nerds. Chances are you’ll end up working for one.

Stay away from Java before your work-out

according to a study by Swiss scientists, caffeine decreases blood flow to the heart during exercise by as much as 39 percent.  when you increase your activity level, coronary arteries expand to let in more oxygen-carrying blood.  however, when participants consumed 200 milligrams of caffeine(the equivalent of two cups of coffee) about an hour before working out, the process was inhibited.  If you have a family history of heart disease, it is suggested to avoid caffeine for four to five hours before exercise.

a friendly reminder from emusclemag

it was first introduced in 1896 for men and in 2000 for women.   it has two simple but very difficult movements – the snatch and the clean jerk.

seated dumbbell curls:

it’s easy for even the most serious of trainers to find himself cheating with standing dumbbell curls. the most common pattern is to unconsciously lean into the working arm as you curl, shortening the range of motion. to prevent this and force you to do the rep more strictly, simply do your dumbell curls sitting down, preferably on a seated bench with back support. you may be humbled to discover that you have to lighten up the weights as tad, but it’s a fair trade off. your biceps will have no choice but to pick up the slack and work their little biceps butts off.

actually, size does matter in some circumstances.  if you and your buddies all had sex with the same woman on the same day, size would matter in “semen displacement.” the guy with the longest penis would have the best chance of getting her pregnant and ensuring his DNA would live on in generations to come.  the longest penis would be better at flushing out a competitor’s semen from the vagina.  the penis has a coronal ridge, which is designed to scoop our foreign semen.  therefore, the longest penis would be able to flush out all those pesky foreigners.  as far as size and pleasuring a woman, that’s a whole other story for whole other day.

i got this from a yahoo article  which commemorates the 30th year of SPAM.  It was on May 3, 1978 that Gary Thuerk, a marketer for the old Digital Equipment Corporation, sent a sales e-mail to 393 users on Arpanet (then a U.S. government computer network and the predecessor of today’s Internet). Little did Thuerk know that he’d just become the world’s first spammer.  So here’s his worlds first spam email….

Happy Birthday SPAM!

i usually had my workout 3 times a week… that is tuesday, wednesday and saturday… for tuesday and wednesday i had a slight workout good for 1 hour… slight but enough to almost kill me… ehehe my trainer is a monster… he always give me this supersets… and on saturday, since it is a weekend, my trainer kills me for 2 hours of workout… that’s why i always call him “bakemono”. anyway what is a superset?

a superset is two consecutive sets of exercises that work the same muscle or opposing muscle. here one set of exercises is immediately followed by a second, with no rest in between. after the two exercises are completed, a rest of one or two minutes is taken before resuming the same series. the idea of supersetting a single muscle group is to completely exhaust that muscle and recruit as many muscle fibers as possible. it also includes as many continuous sets and exercises as you like.

let me share to you this funny and embarassing 1st workout session i had… for the sake of getting fit and healthy i had to submit myself to this excruciating and exhausting activities… but honestly it’s worth doing it… i’ve been working out since August of 2007… it’s not that i want to have those solid rock body like… i just like to be fit and tone…  so here is the article i wrote in my blogsome account… read it and you’ll probably laugh and tease me afterwards… eheheheheWaking up on a Sunday seems hard for me.  My whole body aches, like i was all beaten-up, that all my muscles were in pain.  I can hardly stand up and move my arms. My leg and arms were hurting as well as my chest.  They actually call it DOMS.

According to  Wikipedia, Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) is the pain or discomfort often felt 24 to 72 hours after exercising and subsides generally within 2 to 3 days. Once thought to be caused by lactic acid buildup, a more recent theory is that it is caused by tiny tears in the muscle fibers caused by eccentric contraction, or unaccustomed training levels. Since lactic acid disperses fairly rapidly, it could not explain pain experienced days after exercise.

It started last Saturday in the afternoon after i had my first session in the gym.  I woke up so early on a Saturday morning(in which i usually drowned myself in the bed for a deep sleep and wake-up at around 10 to 11 AM for lunch) and took a bath and prepare my bag.  It had been 2 years since i had been in a gym and I was a bit excited about it.  Then I had made a policy for my self, that from now on i would spend my money for the wellness of my being. Thus i decided to enroll my self in a fitness center.  Since it was my first day, my trainer which he calls himself Coach V had been so nice in welcoming me. (but later on transformed into a dubious monster who love seing his minions suffer from pain and hardships eheheheheh) He said that since it was my first day, we had to find out my limits.  We started on a bench press.  The pole alone was a solid metal which weighs 45 lbs.  At first it was easy… then he added 50 lbs on both side which sum up to 145 lbs! F… but thanks to G.. i was able to lift it… then he had this grin on his face and added 10 lbs on both side… then 2.5 lbs… in which i had already raised the white flag.  I took a rest .. drink some cold water.. and mocking him… (your mad.. evil… monster… ehehe just an imagination) then he put me a machine which i forgot its name(eheheheh).. and it went well.. the next test machine went well also… and then when i was doing the squat.. he let me carry a F—ing  175 lbs… i had only made 3 repititions of 5 counts each and i said “Time Out! I need to drink water”.. i felt dizzy at that time so i sat for a while… and then i felt the dizziness again.. it seems my world was turning..and my eyes were rolling and slowly closing.. then all of a sudden.. the hot melting magma was bursting out from the depth of my stomach.. (F— i’ll gonna throw-up)… i hold my mouth firmly and ran into the mens room… my left hand holding my mouth from bursting into a messy oblivion while my right hand was trying to open the F—ing locked door.  Again the dizziness came and because of not being so familiar with the place.. i found the nearest open room.. and i hurriedly let my self in.. and i found myself bowing in front of the lavatory and letting the anger of the awaken beast inside me to release it’s terror into the innocent unpolluted and peaceful room… then i feel so relieved.. like i was sleeping on a cloud … while daydreaming, the door suddenly opens and two young beautiful ladies came out of nowhere and there they were infront of me, there were inside the room where i was in … i stared at them and with a  blink of the eye  i remember that the worst had come to me. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! it’s like  the world was crumbling down…. i hear laughter, people shouting at me, laughing at me… I wanted to shout, to rip the limbs of those who mocked me… and darkness was filled with light.   FUCK! I was in the Ladies Locker Room!  I was so ashamed and my face turned red and gasp that my mouth had only utter “I’m Sorry!”…. and i felt glad when they responded with “It;s OK”…  then a grin was drawn on their face and giggling as they went to the shower … and after saying that.. the lady attendant went in also.. and was shocked that she immediately asked me..”What are you doing here?” and again i said “I’m sorry…”(with a smile on my face) and she get out… the embarrasment had showed itself infrom of me and i felt so ashamed… that i get out immediately and went to the men’s locker room…  i didn’t know that Coach V was also looking for me in the Men’s locker room.. he even search every shower and toilet room for me…  then i get out.. behaving like none of those shameful events had happened… and we continue…. and “at last the last pit stop!” ( i said to myself)… the thread mill for cardio…TGIO(thank G– its Over)… a 1 hour session is quite not bad at all…

i’ve read this article on the world’s fastest satellite internet developed and launched by Japan.  the satellite was named Kizuna which was really a great breakthrough and improvement on the internet.  According to the article “Japan is launching the Kizuna satellite, which will bring high-speed internet access to Japan’s remote territories and neighboring countries, as well as providing continuous networking in case of emergency. It was a $342 million project, spearheaded by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), which is expected to culminate in internet connections reaching speeds of 1.2Gbps, dwarfing current ADSL connections that typically allow data transfer to occur at below 8 Mbps.”

Kizuna is expected to go live on July.  Their initial test was quite successful, so if all should go well this July, expect such major infrastructure to hit the main stream.   for the details kindly read the article.
