A Little More
Exercise is beneficial to our body. Some benefits that we could attain from a regular exercise are stronger immunity, toned body and good memory. Surely, most of us would love to be healthier inside and out. Therefore, regular exercise will help us achieve those things.
But, do you find exercise as an activity that is so hard to do? Oh, you're not alone! I feel the same way too.
I feel very disappointed in myself after several months of working out because nothing has changed. Another thing is that, I'm fond of eating sweets and it makes me weak if I can't eat any in a day. I also don't drink water that much, I frequently drink water and that's only when I feel thirsty and after eating my meal. And, the worst is I always have a midnight snack. Then, I'll look in a mirror, complaining about my body fats.😂This is pretty quirky.
Until one day, I realized that if I couldn't make any changes physically, then, I'll change my perspective. It works and might work with you too. It feels good to eat whenever and whatever without limits. And not worrying too much about getting fat. ❤
Oops! I suddenly heard the sound of a ripping cloth. As I looked down and saw my ripped dress, "Oh No! This needs an urge response" I muttered worriedly.
Were you in the same situation before?
That's what we call "EAT PA MORE"😂
So I decided to exercise again. But this time, I need to do it not because I want to, but because I need to. So, I went back to my weekly routine. I also made a 'meal plan' with healthy foods but doesn't taste good. But it was all worth doing. It takes a long time to reduce weight, until I got tired of doing the same thing over and over again.
Did you find yourself at this point that you wanted to quit? [Then, share it with us😊]
As the COVID-19 happened this year, we're obliged to stay at home. Since we have more time to do indoor activities, I have thought about exercising again. It takes 6-8 minutes each session to certain body parts. I sweat a lot and feel unloaded. After a 3O days challenge using the fitness app I downloaded on google play store, I can't see any changes. But I still continued and started to drink more than 8 glasses of water a day as possible.
Getting enough sleep is also vital for our body to function properly. So, I started to sleep early. At 9:00 pm I'm already sound asleep. So unlike before, I no longer eat midnight snacks. As the popular adage goes: "eat like a queen on breakfast, eat like a princess on lunch and eat like a beggar on dinner". So I don't eat a lot during dinner, especially carbs.
After weeks of sticking to the plan...
Ten te ne nen...... (Drum rolls 😂)
As I was passing by my aunt's house, my cousin approached me and said : "Sis, You had a slimmer body now, ah". Another comment from my youngest brother : " Your arms are toner now"
It feels funny hearing what they said, but there's a bit of satisfaction too. Not much changed, but at least something has changed a bit. A continued exercise that goes well up to this time.😁
---------------------------------------------------
Maybe, you've gone through a lot of ways just to attain your ideal body but didn't see any changes.
"DON'T BE DISCOURAGED"
Just make a single but continuous steps and this would be like stairs that will get you better and better. This can be applied not only to those who have weight problems but to everyone. Because, this is another way to be healthy not just physically but emotionally, mentally and financially.
Financially?🤔 Yes, because logically, If you're healthy in different aspect you'll no longer have to see your doctor and spend money for the consultation and check up. It's good to save some money you know.
No time for gym? No money to pay for the gym?
That's not a problem. You could do it at home.
Try this:
• Do a research about work out techniques which doesn't need gym equipments.
• Download an offline work out apps for guides and then start exercising. There's a lot of applications on google play store that you can download then you can already start exercising.
Challenge yourself, And see the CHANGES.😍

Pasensya Na
"Ups! Pasensya"
Kadalasang nasasambit natin pag nakagawa tayo ng mali nang di sinasadya. Minsan ay hindi naiiwasan dahilan sa ating di pagkaperpekto. Ngunit mahalagang humingi tayo ng pasensya pag tayo'y nakasakit maging tayo man ay nasaktan. Baka ipagdahilan pa natin na hindi naman ako ang may kasalanan o nagpasimula, ngunit nararapat lamang na humingi ng tawad. Hindi ito madali pero magagawa natin kung pag iisipan natin ang mga sumusunod na tanong.
Bakit isang katalinuhan na humingi ng tayo ng pasensya o tawad kung tayo'y nakasakit o nasaktan?
Una, naitataguyod natin ang KAPAYAPAAN.
-nagkakaroon ng tayo ng magandang kaugnayan sa ating kapwa anuman ang ating relasyon sa kanila.
Ikalawa, KAPANATAGAN
- Mapapanatag rin ang ating isip, dahil alam natin na malinis ang ating konsensya. Makakatulog tayo ng mahimbing na walang inaalala. Gigising na sinisimulan ang araw na kay ganda.
Ikatatlo, nagkakaroon tayo ng PAGSANG-AYON NG DIYOS
- ang paghingi ng tawad ay nagpapakitang mahal natin ating kapwa. Iyan din ang ikalawang utos na dapat nating sunding maigi. Maipapakita din nating mahal natin ang Diyos kung mahal natin ang ating kapwa. (1 John 4:20)
--------------------------------
Iba-iba ang katangian ng tao at ganundin sa pagpapahayag ng kanilang saloobin. May mga bagay na kaya ng ilan ngunit hindi naman sa iba. Mahirap humingi ng dispensa lalo't kapag tayo ang nasaktan. Dahilan na ba ito upang hindi na tayo makipagkasundo o magtanim ng galit sa iba? Natural lamang na hindi. Ano kaya ang maaring makatulong saatin na mapagtagumpayan ito? Tingnan natin ang ilang mungkahi na pwde nating gawin.
* Peace offering.
- pwde tayong magbigay ng anumang bagay na alam nating gusto nila. Halimbawa, pagkain, o gamit na paborito nila. Ang pagbibigay nito kahit wala man tayong anumang binibitiwang salita ay nagpapakitang pinapahalagahan natin sila.
*Letter
- ang mala taos pusong paghingi ng dispensa sa pamamagitan ng sulat ay nakakaaliw. Maaring magchat o di kaya text, o sulat kamay na mas malamang na epektibo. Dito maipapahayag ang mga hindi kayang sabihin sa personal.
*Kausapin
- isa ito sa pinakaepektibong pamamaraan. Sa pamamagitan ng tawag sa telephono o sa personal. Mas mapaguusapan at mauunawaan ang usapin ng bawat panig.

Tayo nang gumawa ng unang hakbang para lumakad tayo ng may karunungan. Salamat sa marahang pagbabasa, sana'y makatulong sa paanuman😊.

Free Time??
Hai, good day guys.
Most of us have more free time these covid-19 days. Some post I've read was about their boredoms. So they do something just to make them busy. I saw the tV commercial on how to be busy but productive. People spend much their time on watching tv, chatting, and playing..However, how would we use our precious time into something useful recreation? I have some tips for you guys and I hope it will work to help you😊
1. GARDENING
This eco-friendly activity will help not just you but also the nature. Aside from using the time wisely, if you plant now you probably reap what you sow. This could serves as our everyday's vian; and will less our expenses. This is an effective activity to rural areas where they have land to plant different vegetables. However, because of difference in places, Urban area is not that good to make a gardening. I've been there for years and unlike Rural areas it wasn't easy to make this first suggestion. Don't be disappointed,you can make ways if you really want. Think about these: Do you have a used plastic bottle of softdrinks in your home? Or used plastic bags? Or sacks? Or any recyclable material that could be use as plot(where plants are planted). Just make a hole(just little) to leaks the water out. Then you can put soil in it and seeds..Just take care it as wherelike baby..(with love😍)-water,sunlight and dig the soil.
Yeah, You may think it need to take more effort but it will help. Planting was proven as a relaxing activity and recommended by doctors when someone is suffering from depression, sadness or illness. To you, young ones , It will help us be productive and be healthy. Have you wondered why did I say that it will help to be " healthy"? Look! If we always order for a delivery food: Are we sure the food is clean? Or how does it prepared?(I'm not saying not to order but not often) As we plant the vegetables(any variant depend to planting space)we are sure if it is clean, or non-herbacide .
2. HOUSEHOLD CHORES
This sounds: Oh! As usual and tiring.
Yeah! It's true ..Are you agree with me guys ,that there is no not tiring work? All work are tiring even sitting all day. So if sitting will make us tired,why not do washing? Its also tiring.. Busy but not productive is equal to Busy but productive.Both are tiring work. So the point is, As were inside home, Wanna do washing(clothes,dishes), cleaning,and sweeping? Specially, teenagers or workers that spend most of their time in school and work, Its your time to try this😊now in quarantine days.
These are the non-transparent advantage of doing household chores: CLEAN HOUSE-if your house is clean there is no more chance for virus to stay. Visitor will never hesitate to drink😂 with you
ORGANIZE- this is the most easily notice part. If your house is organized, people will think you the same. They would trust you in work and any important things.
WELL TRAINED- you will be trained to manage and shoulder responsibilities.
SKILLED- not all know how to do household chores, and you're great if you know to do that. Most employers look for an applicant who has skills , you have the big chance to be hired.
TALENT- finally you have the talent😁 to do household chores. This is very rare talent that not everyone could have.
So? How was reading?Hhmmmp. I think you will start it right away haha. And I want to congratulate you for being industrious on that matter.. Keep up.
3. BIBLE READING
Maybe, most of you will say : That's only for holy people.
Others may say: I'd never tried to read, its boring.
Yeah! I understand. As Human we want funs all the time, and its nice to be happy all the time. Are you happy now? I hope so, my dear reader. But have you think about other people of how do they feel now? You may agree with me, that some are feeling depress and starving this time. Some people, specially the rich are making ways to help them by sending relief goods. Other send money, medical assistance and etc. On the other hand, there are people who want to help but nothing aside of their living.
Are you one of them? If so, you're not alone. But we can help in other ways. Material things are good and needed this time, but encouragement is more needed . How would we encourage others if we are also feel empty? Bible can help us cope our problem.. It won't take away our problems but it will help us to carry and still feel happy. Have you tried to read it before? Specially in book of proverbs more on advises. Maybe our friends are good problem advisers but the advises written in bible is the best. It's teachings were really useful in these hard times.. Yeah! We want funs but its better if it would be happiness.
Thank you so much ,Readers. May these several suggestions would help you to use your time wisely. That's what I did, no doubt that it is effective.. I hope a curve in your face may form that shows your feelings of happiness.
Thank you and once again -this is A WRITER who has nothing but SELF- STEEM😊
Did You know?
Writing has different use. The way where you could express your thoughts and feelings .Many use this as a hobby or recreation even stress reliever. However, there are peope who find it uninteresting because it wasn't their passion as they say..How will you find happiness in writing?
First, BE POSITIVE
Positivity plays a big part in our life.. So if we are positive toward writing we could have ideas on how to do it. No to Negative, Yes to positive. That should be our mentality ,which to be changed first.
QUIET PLACE
This also help us to think positive and look forward into someting meaningful. It would be better if you are on mountains(like me) or seashore but you can do it even on city. Don't be disappointed.
MATERIALS
You don't need expensive papers or pens just to make a good written story. Just a simple paper and pen that you're comfortable to use is enough.
STYLE
Just write down any Ideas you think. Don't be too sensitive in grammars and speling, it won't help you to think more. Just relax and go with your thoughts. After writing, you can edit the whole ideas into more meaningful and advantageous story.
PURPOSE
Think! Why Am I writing this? Who will be benifited? Is this helpful? IS this contained new info?
INSPIRATION
This factor really helped.(proven and tested😂) Aside from your love or life partner(if in a relationship or married), family, friend or crush(if pretty single like me😂😂) do inspire by God's wonders of work. It builds a good result. Trust me.
That's a little knowledge about writing that could help those people especialy you(shy type, low self-steem) to start write.Don't feel that you can not make it,believe in yourself. You are not alone, I've been once; fear to write.. But see, I do not considered myself a good writer but I could write and that's enough to be proud of. YoU can also do it, try now.
