the coffee cup

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.

i got these interesting and thought provoking phrases from the 1 minute manager book… once i read it, i suddenly stop and think of my goals.  do i have goals in life? what are they? had i achieved some of them? did i meet my target for each goal? what did i do to achieved such goals? hmmmmm guess i need to think about it…

Look  At Your Goals

Look At Your Performance

See If Your Behavior Matches Your Goals 

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…

Do what?
Eat, sleep, screw and go to work.
Always the same.
In the thick falling snow.
The baby quails come with the voice.
It’s all right.  It’s all right. It’s all right.
In the endless snow, even the mountain,
the blue mountain never bothers saying…
It’s all right.  It’s all right. It’s all right…

when i told God that i had fallen in love
i never thought we had part like this
when i knew you wouldn’t touch me again
i wanted you to hold me one last time
it’s long long goodbye

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.

i happened to discover a cool anime today… it was entitled Pale Cocoon(Aoi Tamago)… it was a short OVA with a very good topic… kinda philosophical… it’s hard to understand it at first or probably you will judge it as boring… but listen, read and watch it carefully…. you would understand what the characters were thinking…how they feel about their situation…and what it is trying to tell you… i really love the graphics and animation… the electronic book where you can store restored data and information(pictures, audio and video) and the very cool electronic DTR Card… wow! that is so cool… truly a science fiction as it should be…simple but it rocks! not to mention the it’s great story…check it out… i don’t have to tell you what the movie is all about… see it for yourself… i watch it at crunchyroll.com

here’s the OST of the movie

ひと　の　ひびき

森がねむり　に　ついた、あさ
けむり　が　そら　に　ひこうと
ちへいせん　と　が　こうさして
きん　の　じゅうじ　を　こしられた

くい　が　ねむり　に　ついた、あさ
つき　は　まつ　の　を　おわりにした
みちて　は　かける　ゆりかご
いのり　の　かわり　に　さしだした

あれば　さいご　の　てんし
あれば　のこり　の　くも
かえば　ない　あおい　たまご
ほほえみ　を　なくしても

ほし　が　ねむり　に　ついた、　あさ
せめて　の　あす　は　くも　に　そら
かみ　さま　が　いった　ちへい　に　は
ぬれって　と　ひかった　にわ　の　いちご
いつか　は　あえる　ひ　の　やくそくして

あんた　を　わすれない

Pare, isa kang totoong tao at walang halong kasinungalingan.
In English, FACT you, pare. Totoo ka. In English, FACT you!

Boy: Let’s play Wagwag.
Girl : What’s that?

necessity is the mother of invention.  The telephone was invented because of a long distance relationship in which both partners need to talk.  The electric fan was created because there are students who need to washed their socks and let it dry 10 minutes before they come to school.  There are also personal computers because many can afford to buy it.  And i need it to write this post. well indeed necessity is the mother of invention.  as you read the newspapers’ ads, you would notice that man’s necessity are gradually increasing… such as the following:

1. virginity restoration (i really can’t believe this one, but i just thought that some women are conservative, that they want to be virgin when they married)
2. anti-aging body scrub/anti-toxin/exfolite/whitens skins with bathmilk in bathtub 2 hrs with complete body massage, free anti-aging facial (well many wants to hide their age by looking young)
3. body/whitening scrub for flawless skin (whitening…)
4. body peeling/bleaching/stretch-mark, darkspot, acne scar, pimple, wrinkle, pigmentation, painless warts removal (now this is amazing… they’ll gonna peel your skin off just to have a baby skin)
5. anti-aging soap/anti-aging tablet (indeed many don’t want to get old)
6. anti-obesity set, lose weight the natural way (natural way??? hmm maybe they’ll gonna give you a TB)
7. radiant skin theraphy, a unique method which assures flawless skin (wow! Radiant! sounds DotA!)
8. breast implant/injection/buttock injection, liposuction, adam’s apple removal (this is hardcore… can’t handle it)
9. bust cream/virginity soap (What???!!! Virginity Soap?!!!SUGOIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!)
10. appetite controller (great name… controller..)
11. armpit whitener (hahahhah even the armpit? wow! what else could they think of?)
12. many more….

 well try and browse your newspaper ads and you will find what you want….

What do you think are the top 5 promising career fields for 2008?

Can you believe that a career in teaching(teacher) is one of them? I never thought that being a teacher is a promising one… i only see teaching as a noble profession…

Well based on the article i read, that 14 million job openings are projected to cater for degree-holder professionals between 2004 and 2014 according to a report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and 6.9 million of which are expected to be open to new college graduates. Well medicine and law fall into this category. But while those fields are competitive, Accounting, IT and Education are joining the band wagon of professions that require a college degree. As being said by some senior recruiters, “If you’re looking for growth in your career, you absolutely have to have a degree.” This is true for certified public accountants(CPA). “To get a position in the software field without a degree, you’d have to be a genius”, said by a certain Project Manager. He added that “The bachelor’s degree barely gets you in the door; you really want to pursue at least a master’s in computer science.”. Tough eh? And i guess Education will play a big part in forming the career of those CPA and IT engineer to be. Thus academe requires a highly qualified and quality teachers from Elementary, Secondary and Tertiary levels. Thus a big number of teachers will be needed.
