no more negative vibes

it is true. God truly has a way of shifting things around and moving your life. i can attest to that. there are times when circumstances make me feel bitterness, although in my mind i really want to feel happiness for others. there are times when my self-confidence have almost gone down the drain. times when i felt that i gave everything i've got, and got zilch in return. these are the moments when i ask myself "am i good enough?"

aside from sending me friends & family, God has sent me helpful strangers who eventually became new friends. then it would seem that the universe is aligning itself correctly and everything just falls into place. and then you realize, everything that gave you those negative emotions - frustration, sadness, losing heart - are actually blessings in disguise. and something more amazing is waiting for you. all you have to do is say "God will provide" and hang on to Him until the storm is over.

as what Mr. Rocky Balboa said, "It ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!" 

no more negative vibes! SMILE EVERYONE!

random sweaty stuff

for the past months, i have been buying workout stuff instead of the usual casual/office clothes, and i have discovered a few cool items fit for the gym.

first, the best thing that has happened to energy drinks -- getting themselves powdered! presenting, gatorade thirst quencher powder! now isn't this more convenient than buying and bringing a bottle of gatorade everyday? just put a scoop of this in your water bottle and add cold water when you get to the gym :) plus, it's cheaper too! you get the whole container for around Php290.00 and can make around 7 liters of gatorade. that's just about Php21.00 per 500mL! if you buy the 500mL bottle, it costs around Php 32-35. thanks florian for introducing this to me!

second, revlon colorstay liquid pen. the good: it really is smudge-proof! it stays on even after a Body Combat class with all the sweat and hot lights. i can even line my lower lashes without looking like a zombie an hour after. the pen tip makes it easy to apply too. the bad: is there really liquid in there? you have to shake shake shake the pen before a good amount of color can come out. but all in all the pen is pretty good. although for non-workout days, i still prefer my revlon kohl eyeliner (syempre revlon parin haha!). it's a lot more pigmented and it makes my eyes pop out more :D

third, everlast PINK handwraps! need i say more? LOVE!

aside from the cool purchases, what else have i been up to recently?

- BODY COMBAT 48! kicks, kicks, and more kicks! one of the most challenging releases yet. booyah!

- once launching season is over, i can't wait to try the new release of Body Balance. from what i have seen/heard, it looks freakin hard. WOOOHOOO!

- strength training. ok, so REALLY don't like weight training. i prefer cardio any day. or yoga. unfortunately, i need it. kelangan magpa-lakas. but i don't know anything about it. good thing my strength-training-addict friend, mik, is now training me! we've had 3 sessions so far, and MAN do i feel the burn!

- i started painting my nails again! neon pink, then dark blue, then maroon, then coraly-blue-green :)

- i really really really need to continue writing. i should make time for this :(

- i became a year older! :) thank you Lord for another year. for the blessings, family & friends, for the progress, for Your guidance. i am praying that You would continue to shower me with your blessings, and that You would take to where i need to be. saka po sana yung iba ko pang request, Lord. hehe alam Nyo na po yun :) Amen.

Body Combat, anyone? :D

my writing has taken a backseat for a while (my reading too, actually). it feels like haven't written for so long! 

fortunately, i do have an excuse for that. my hands have been busy punching instead of writing/typing and my brain has been busy memorizing instead of brainstorming for ideas.

so far, this year has been quite a ride for this Little Lady. you see, since late january this year, i have been slowly treading a new path - becoming a Body Combat instructor. 

my friends know that i have loved this class for YEARS. this was my stress-release. my break from hours of sitting and thinking and typing at the office. my chance to live my superhero childhood imagination. but i never thought i would have the chance to become an instructor. i mean, yes my officemate/combat-buddy and i have talked about this years before. how it would be awesome to be on-stage and share the class with gym members. how "work" would mean doing something that you really enjoy doing. but i never imagined that it could actually happen in real life. how come, you ask?

because the only "work" that i knew how to do meant endless thinking and analyzing, not moving around and breaking a sweat. because as i have mentioned in my previous post, i have been quite sedentary for most of my life. for years i have been on the heavy side. i wasn't strong. so being a fitness instructor was definitely not on my mind.

well apparently, with the help and intervention of a few people (you guys are angels!), i discovered that being a fitness instructor IS possible. you really just have to work hard for it. myself especially, given my previously un-fit lifestyle and having no martial arts background at all. plus, it's not just your physical strength and endurance. you have to think while moving too. it's physical and mental work. so for the past months i have been busy training, practicing, trying to get the hang of it - on top of my day job.

honestly, i feel good with what my body has achieved. i mean, it's a far cry from what i was a year ago. i have accomplished 90% of the fitness goals that i've set last year. BUT given this new responsibility, i feel like i have to take my fitness level a notch or two higher. i still need to increase my endurance and strength, and i could do with losing a few more pounds. so yeah, i do celebrate what i have achieved so far (yey to new clothes!), but at the same time, realize that there's a lot more room for improvement. i'll be setting up my game plan for the second half of the year soon. wish me luck! KIYAH!

PS. special thanks to the following: my mentors - teacher ben, kerwin, mark, jon. your comments are very much appreciated and welcome. the one who started it all - winnie :) fellow evils, BC47 batchmates, combat-buddies, friends, mom and dad for the endless support :)

social butterfly. not.

nope, i am not a social butterfly. actually, i am quite the contrary. i really don't talk to people who aren't my friends (unless they talk to me first, then we become friends hehe). when i'm at a new office, it takes me around 3 months to warm up to the people. i can't even hold eye contact with a stranger. that's why i always get the "suplada" or "exclusive" first impression. and why i only have a small group of close friends. but once people get to know me, they realize i talk and laugh a lot. it's not that i don't want to make friends. i'm just really shy... at first :)

however, with my new "engagement" (i really don't want to call it a job), i think i should at least try to change this. i have to practise looking at people in the eye, and not look away after half a second. i have to learn to smile at strangers. ang hirap kaya nun!

i'm glad that i met a couple of friendly people already. when random people talk to me in the locker room or in the elevator, it makes me want to do better. when i realize that there are some people who actually remember me without me even trying to, i feel that i have to step it up some more.

i'm still a newbie, but i really want to improve. so thank you everyone. for the words of encouragement, appreciation, the tips that you give me, the constructive criticism, the small gestures. it means A LOT to me. maraming salamat! :)

struggling with weightloss

i have been chunky most of my life. i couldn’t complain about it though, because i have been sedentary from childhood till early adulthood, except maybe a few summer swimming classes. and then i graduated from college and went on a month-long US vacation (which was when I was at my biggest. hello thanksgiving and Christmas and new year dinners! and NY pizza OMG!). since then i have always been struggling with weight loss. this is one aspect of my life that has been really holding me down. i've been going to the gym for a couple of years now, but i have only started seeing significant results a few months ago. what did i do differently this time? basically i got tired of the jokes and nasty comments and self-pity that i started making a plan to solve it (it’s called Project 2011 FIGHT! hahah!). here are my 6 personal pointers that helped me a lot.

1. Just do it.

-       When you're thinking twice if you should workout because you feel too tired or too lazy, think no more. The answer is "Just Do It". 5 minutes into your workout, you'll feel so energized, you'll thank yourself for getting your ass off the couch.

2. Indulge once, cut back five times.

-        I love food. I'd rather spend hours at the gym instead of controlling my food intake. But even if I exercise myself to death, I couldn't get significant results. So I started making a conscious effort to control my food portions. But after 2-3 weeks of cutting back, I reward myself with 1 Quickly Taro-Taro (ahhh heaven!) or a serving of ice cream. A treat once in a while is ok since it would stop me from eventually losing my mind and bingeing.

3. Get online help.

-       Sign up in weight management sites such as www.fitday.com (It's free!). You input the food you eat and activities for the day so you could monitor your calorie intake versus the calories burned. There are also features wherein you could set your weight goal and then the site would compute what your calorie deficit should be. It really does help because 1) it makes you more aware of what you're eating/doing everyday, and 2) it helps you familiarize yourself with the approximate calories of your food. I did this religiously for 2 months. Now I do rough estimates since I already know how much to eat everyday.

4. Get motivation and inspiration anywhere you can.

-     You need your personal motivation in order to keep going with your weight-loss journey. But it doesn't hurt to get motivation from others too.  Read success stories and be inspired. Utilize your desktop wallpaper. Watch The Biggest Loser. Take a look at your "goal clothes". Looking for a challenge? Make a bet. Have fun working out with your friends (luckily I have this workout-addict friend who made me level up my workouts. LEVEL 5 RAWR!! Now I have my BC batchmates as well YEY!!). Pray.

5. Have concrete goals.

-       You can't just say "I want to lose weight." That's too vague. You have to be specific with what you want and you have to have a timeline (a realistic one, please). When i started going to the gym a few years ago, i had general goals. But I only started to really lose weight on when I said “I want to get back to my college weight. I want to be able to wear good-fitting, trendy clothes. I want to have more defined cheekbones and jaw lines. I want to be able to do higher and more powerful roundhouse kicks. I want to be able to do 8 or more consecutive muay thai jump knees with ease. I want to have stronger arms and legs, all in 6 months." I have less than 2 months to go! Next in line: 5lbs lower than my college weight, push-ups on toes, stronger core, all in 2.5 months.

6. Make time for it.

-       It's all about priorities. When I need to go to the gym, that timeslot is taken. Unless there are special occasions or emergencies, I will be unavailable when it is time to work out. There was a time wherein we had to be at the office until midnight, so I could not go to the gym during my regular schedule which is after 6pm. So I worked out during lunchbreak instead. If you want to do it, there are no excuses.

I haven’t met all my goals yet (and I still get the occasional fat joke)… but i'm street brawling and side-kicking my way to achieving them all. FIGHT!

Crazy Little Thing Called Love

the newest thing that my teammates & i have at the office = romantic thai movies. pauso kasi itong officemate ko eh hahah! the only thai movie that i was able to watch (although not entirely, since i just watched it on the bus) was ong bak (huge dose of muay thai YEAH!)

the first romance thai movie that i watched = Crazy Little Thing Called Love (aka First Love). ok, honestly, i initially watched the movie because p'shone (Mario Maurer) is so gwapo haha! fortunately, it was a really good movie. it was conservative (not PDA-ish at all), but it was still surprisingly sweet. i wouldn't say that the movie is really "romantic". i prefer to call it "heart-warming" :)

and i cried a lot. (how come movies make me cry easily? darn it. haha) 

hmmm... i wonder what made me like this movie so much? the storyline is pretty simple, nothing extraordinary... is it p'nam's (the girl protagonist) one-sided feelings shown throughout the movie? or is it how p'nam was able to transform herself from being an awkward ugly duckling to a beautiful swan -- yet it still wasn't enough? or was it the regret of missing "the one that got away"?  or was is p'shone's awfully cute smile? hahaha! 

great first thai movie! more movies woohoo!

dreaming of falling teeth

for the past two days i have been having vivid dreams. and both of them got me thinking. one dream is actually about myself, watching what i do in real life, which made me see my actions in a different perspective. but we'll leave that for now. 

the other dream is about me having falling teeth. out of all the dreams that i could remember, this is the recurring incident (my mom has a different one - struggling to climb up the ladder/stairs). it has happened many times on different phases of my life. i got curious, so i checked the net to find the meaning of this dream.

according to bellaonline.com, "Teeth are symbolic of the ability to make decisions, and problems with teeth can be related to indecisiveness." hmmm... not far-off actually.

the author of the article says that in this kind of dream, the meaning of the dream is based on how i feel about the dream. and i would have to say... 

"Are you anxious about losing the teeth? Any anxiety in dreams generally means there is something in real life that's also causing anxiety. Do you have anxiety about any changes coming up? Are you fearful about making a wrong decision?"

and there goes the "fear" again. hrrmm... i think my subconscious is really telling me something. 

hay Lord.

what's stopping you?

"What is the first - perhaps the only - difference between living your dream and stagnating? The fundamental difference is fear. Fear of losing it all; fear of what another might think; fear of being less than enough."

i read this in an article from urbanmonk.net. this simple statement actually hit home.

eversince i was in college, i had bouts of uncertainty. what if i took liberal arts in college? what if i became a professional musician? what if i went into advertising? what if i became a wedding planner/event coordinator? what if i took fashion design instead? what if i worked for a fashion magazine?

a lot of what if's, right? although through the years, i have slowly found appreciation for my "craft"/work. but of course there are still times when these what if's play with my head.

so why did i continue with IT? 

everyone can feel fear. but out of the three fears stated at the beginning of this blog, i guess i could relate most to the third - fear of being less than enough. at first i thought it was fear that my earnings would dwindle drastically since i would have to start from scratch. but i realized that that's not the main reason. no matter what i do, a part of me always wants to prove myself. to prove my worth. to prove that i'm good at what i do. and since the education/training that i got is for IT, then i guess i stuck with it instead of doing something that really interests me yet i have no background/experience at all.

so yes, i have fear of being incompetent. and i haven't realized it until a few months ago. as the article said, "fear is obvious when someone holds a gun to our head, but it is harder to recognize in our everyday lives." and this "everyday life fear" is not just about one's career. it can be about a college student's choice of course. it can be about trying out for your school play. about asking someone out on a date. about traveling to a different country. or even about deciding to take culinary classes.

so what does the author think we should do?

he says we should face and take a closer look at our fears. "when we lay bare our fears, when we examine them with an honest and courageous eye - what we find are not limitations. what we find are alibis. sometimes these are unconscious. they stem from events, insults, and harsh judgements that we have taken to heart."

the article suggests a method which is pretty similar to what i do when i need to make a big decision: COST AND BENEFIT ANALYSIS (i prefer doing the PROS and CONS given the different choices)

COSTS: what is the price you pay for your decision? does it make you unhappy? what would happen 5 to 10 yrs from now if you continued your current path?

BENEFITS: what are the perks that you get with this path? support and approval from friends and family? is it less troublesome to just continue?

from there you can see the bigger picture, and it makes you more objective.  we then acknowledge the fear and take action - which, of course, is still entirely you're decision; whether the BENEFITS outweigh the COSTS and vice versa and depending on your priorities. i believe that priorities of single and married people are totally different. so ultimately, it all boils down to you. as the article said, "our purpose is our own; life is asking and we answer".

let's all get together!

2011 seems to be a year of reunions for me.


first, our clan had our 4th Kimpo International Reunion which happens every 3 years. Our family consists of 6 generations, starting with my great great grandparents. relatives from across the country and over the world went to Kalibo, Aklan, just in time for the Ati-Atihan festival.


so here's to give you an idea how big our reunion is:


the 1st generation is lolo juan and lola ganday, who had 7 children (2nd generation). these 7 children make-up the current "7 families" of the Kimpo clan and each family has their respective family color. these 7 children had so and so number of children (3rd generation, which includes my grandparents), and these children and so and so number of children (4th generation), and these children had so and so number of children (5th generation - myself included), and some 5th generation-ers already have their own children (6th generation). whew!


can't wait for the next reunion!

this photo has one generation only haha!

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE. one of my bestfriends from DLSU Pops Orchestra has been diagnosed with a tough sickness. so my friends and i are doing all we can to help. this led to being in contact with old friends from Pops, friends that i haven't talked to in years! Pops peeps have been my good friends during my college years. they kept me sane. i'm with them everyday. i even stayed longer in the bandroom than in gox (our Computer Science building) that's why i don't know a lot of my comsci batchmates haha! but once everyone started working, i only got to keep in touch with a few of them.

speaking of my friend, please pray for his fast recovery. his sickness is tough, but he is tougher. FIGHT!


hope i'll be able to keep in touch with more family & friends & relatives :)

2011, here I come!

at the start of the year, we usually hear about Resolutions. things that you promise to start doing (or stop doing) for the year.


honestly, i don't feel like giving specific things to do. it would be really hard to remember those come june, right? so i'd rather have general things/goals to focus on, then make mini-plans to make them happen one day at a time.


so for 2011, i will be focusing on the following:
- healthy living (let's start the year with a bet! *wink*)

- enrich my love for make-up (bading!)

- try to travel more (anybody who wants to go to Guam?)

- nurture personal relationships (oha!)

- continue journey towards financial independence

(change bryan to Little Lady hehe)

hmmm... i think those are doable enough.
cheers everyone! may 2011 be a wonderful year for all of us!

oh no! it's christmas! =S

i always get excited when christmas is around the corner. i love the lights, the decorations, the christmas shopping (especially christmas shopping!), the cold wind, and hot coffee (with a splash of peppermint please). i love santa claus! i love christmas songs! i love the christmas spirit!

however, there's one thing i don't look forward to during christmas -- getting interviewed by relatives. by aunties and lolas, specifically. for the past christmases, there have always been questions about my "status". 

"o ano, wala ka pa bang ipapakilala?", they ask. 

why can't they ask "o, kumusta na ka na ba? kumusta ang trabaho? ok ka ba dun sa condo?" instead?

at one point, i told them that i'm ok with not being married ever. and i think that made them go to panic mode. hahaha!

"nako hija, wag mong sasabihin yan!!" 

"don't nip it in the bud! malay mo baka may cute friend, diba?" 

sigh.

don't get me wrong. i didn't say i don't want to get married. of course i do, someday. maybe. i'm just saying that i'm ok not being married either. hay naku. the pressure. mygaaahd. if they want cute little kids, i have other cousins who would do that hahaha! i don't get it why most people see not being married as something bad. even scary.

but anyway, that's about it. everything else about christmas, i absolutely LOVE!

eto na, i can feel the Christmas spirit already!

pass the cheer everyone! :D

oh yea, this is my PC wallpaper. o diba?! :D

what made you smile today?

our lives aren't perfect. of course everyone has good and bad days. but here's my new ritual: in my planner, i write down what made me smile that day. it doesn't have to be a grand surprise. even simple random things can make me smile. it now serves as a reminder to me that even during the worst days, there must be something good that happened, no matter how small.

i started last oct. 6, 2010 and here's what i got so far.

What Made You Smile Today?

oct. 6 (W) - a nice, hot cup of starbucks latte

oct. 7 (H) - guy giving me his seat in the crowded bus

oct. 8 (F) - yummy beef hofan

oct. 9 (S) - talking on the phone with mom

oct. 10 (S) - body combat class

oct. 11 (M) - loading of finance-related files DONE! les mills launch! FIGHT! (definitely a good day)

oct. 17 (S) - sleep. kurt and rachel's rendition of "happy days are here again"

oct. 19 (T) - sms conversion that reminded me of being dazzled. christmas songs YEY!!!

more smiles to come :) hep hep hoo!

me, myself and i

i have been focusing on myself this past few weeks. earlier this year it was work work work. now i go to the gym more often. although still not as much as i want to. gusto ko 4-6 hrs a day, parang biggest loser level! haha! i'm serious. i also started cooking my own food -- for dinner, at least (thanks to one of my former officemates who inspired me to cook). my tiny refrigerator used to have water/soda and chips. now it has water, half a bag of chips, juice, the occasional soda, chicken, fish, veggies (o ha!), yogurt, cheese and 2 bottles of GPS (for emergency purposes only. ahahah!) still stuck on doing easy dishes though.

i've been cleaning the house and doing the laundry and rewarding myself by enjoying wwe (wooh orton! and omg john morrison! high flying moves plus newly seen submission holds? love. hahahaha!) and the biggest loser asia. (go nai! wooh!) 

* off topic: i loved wwe's video on its Make A Wish foundation. i wish all the wwe superstars would smile more often. it makes them more gwapo. hahah!

i also have been looking for and going to events/sales/bazaars/exhibits. my favorite venue so far is the megatrade hall, basically because i could just take a 10-15 minute walk and i'm home :) i don't necessarily have to buy anything. gusto ko lang maiba, hindi puro department store/boutiques ang nakikita ko.

unfortunately, i'll have to put in more effort to squeeze in this "trying to be healthy and happy" regimen for the coming weeks. yes, you guessed it -- starts with 'W" and rhymes with pork. this is it pancit! crunch time! so please Lord, give me the discipline and will power to keep this up. please please please. i NEED this po. because i feel that i am not good enough unless i do this. thank you po.

let's go sago!

PS. sana mag Christmas na! one HAPPY Christmas please! Amen!

crossroad

was there a time wherein you questioned what you're doing with your life? why you chose the path that you're taking? i know i have. a million times.

a lot of people say that their passion - whether it's performing, painting, photography, writing, whatever - will just be a hobby. they can't make it into a career. mainly because it's not practical, and let's admit that most of us need financial stability and security.

i recently read a blog about pursuing one's passion and here's what i learned.

first, you have to dig deeper. you should identify the "essence" of your passion. for example, you have a passion of singing. why do you love singing? is it because you want to entertain people? you like to express your creativity? you want to inspire others? 

once you've identified this "essence" (oh yeah, it doesn't have to be just one), think about your preferred form of expression. writing? music? fashion?  cooking? then based on the list, you can think of all the possible "careers" - teacher, stylist, journalist, director, sales person, etc. pick something on your list that you are most passionate about, and then formulate a plan to make it happen. yep, easier said than done, i know. it's a long process, but it may be doable.

i did step 1, and reflected on what i'm passionate about. here's what i got:

- i like brainstorming and creative thinking.

- i want to be able to oversee a process/operation. parang coordinate, collaborate and make it work.

- women empowerment (i think that's pretty obvious with my other posts haha!)

- i want to learn/experience new things. 

- this is may sound nerdy, but i like to be able to interpret data (ok, that's 100% nerdy. darn.) for example, given this whole bunch of info, what does it mean? how can it help you? (hello data-mining haha!)

i actually identified my preferred forms/means already, but i shall keep that to myself :P hmmm... where to go? what's next? more self-searching to do!

dirty finger(nail)

my fingernail looks bad. it looks really dirty. or maybe like a patay na kuko. on normal circumstances, i would have painted my fingernails with maroon nail polish.

but i didn't. because my dirty fingernail means i decided to cast my vote. to endure almost 2 hours under the scorching heat to let my voice be heard (or counted).

actually, the presidential candidate that i voted for has a very very very small probability of winning. oh well. what's important is i didn't get swayed (by all these surveys and chismax etc) and i stuck to my decision.

Whatever happens, God bless the Philippines.

what's wrong?

there must be something wrong with my hormones. my mood has been swingy lately, without any real reason. one minute i'm happy, a second later i'm so down. weirddd.

like the other day, while riding the bus going to work, it showed videos of charice pempengco. it showed her performances in oprah, and her duet with celine dion, news clips etc. and guess what, i got teary eyed. what. the. hell. it was a video of charice, for crying out loud. (no, i'm not bashing charice. she has a really good voice, but it's really not something that would get a person teary eyed.) i was so touched and i was like "wow, ang swerte ng batang to :')" gah.

and then, on the way to subic (bandang SCTEX ata), while looking at the road, i started to feel like i was in america. and i imagined myself living there. and then yea, i admit, i felt frustrated - all while looking at a bunch of trees, blue skies and a wide road.

and last night, i watched disney's original movie Camp Rock. and when joe jonas sang his composition to demi lovato near the lake, i was so "awwww...". to think that it was so highschool. gah.

tsk, ano ba to? hassle!

this is it

i just finished watching Michael Jackson's This Is It video (i know i'm so delayed and i'm a loser.) he is such an amazing person. he's a great performer! but aside from that, it was really nice to see how he works before a concert. he's so hands-on and he knows his music very well. as one musician said, "you can't fool him". plus, he does not compose crap music. he creates songs from his heart, his passion. yes, that's what he is -- passionate. ang galing talaga :D oh, and how many times did he say "for the love" and "God bless you"? and "that's why we rehearse" :)

can i say that his instrumentalists are amazing?! well, what else do you expect in a MJ concert, right? and his guitarist is a girl! woohoo! and the lights. the props. the videos. the pyrotechnics. the dancers. the backup vocals. everything is amazing :D

i know we are faaaar from MJ-level, but somehow, seeing the video reminded me of my 4-year tenure in the DLSU Pops Orchestra (now called the Surreli Pops Orchestra). just before a major concert. the planning. the brainstorming. the stage and props design. the scripts. the practices and technical rehearsals. woooow! nakaka-miss!! and the people of course. paulit-ulit naming sinasabi dati na Pops is family. but you really wouldn't understand it unless you experience it yourself.

photo taken by Mark Carandang (thanks!)

i could not imaging my college years without it (well, na-imagine ko... feeling ko kung walang Pops, magiging hardcore computer nerd ako na walang social life. hahaha!)

hey hey! guess what i found!! those were the days when i was thin and my life's struggles involved projects and exams and thesis and i didn't have to wear slacks almost everyday and i could cut class just because i want to. sarap! 

i'm sorry though, this are trimmed versions. i can't find the complete videos anymore :(
