25 Fittest Men for 2009

I just passed by some article, and well, checked out who's the fittest for this year...

Some of it were actors, athletes, hosts and etc.

I was surprised and at least happy that Manny Pacquiao - yeah you read that right. Pacman is one of the 25 MF for the year 2009! Kudos for Manny. He deserves to be featured. Another pride for our country.

Just out of curiosity too.. I''m going to get this issue for myself for new workout tips.

The number 1 is Rafael Nadal! My favorite Tennis Player, maybe because it amuses me that he is a lefty.. idk why, he really gives a powerful swing. If I ever play with him, I'll break my wrist for sure by returning his shots.

some of his interview questionnaires
We read that during Wimbledon you went grocery shopping and actually cooked your own food. How often do you cook at home?
Only those 2 weeks of the year. I have fun doing that, I like to eat that funny pasta we cook in Wimbledon. I really see that as part of my distraction there, especially in the past years with the rain making it a bit long.

What's your specialty in the kitchen?
Pasta with shrimp and mushrooms. I'm also good at making cakes.

How strict is your diet? Do you not eat certain foods?
It depends if I am playing the day after or not. I am not that careful in general but those days I am. I try not to eat meat or heavy things. But I do sometimes eat a lot of chocolate and things like that. Clearly I also burn a lot of calories!

-lolz. same here.. I really love pasta, mushroom will be in my alfredo, or in my pizza.
yeah, i do bake cakes too... lol. but haven't done that in a while. I still need some calories too, I burn a lot or I don't get the right calories for a day so... have to eat at least much more.

Eat Big, to be Big

The universal truth eh? Being a gym-goer (maybe considering myself a gym rat now), having to workout at least 3~5x/week. Now that I have my license back, prolly be 5x a week now, still depends on my 2jobs schedule though.

I tend to eat Cereals in the morning (Cookie Crisps - like eating cookie/cereals and still having fibers) and Oatmeal when I ran out of Cereals, still good for the heart. Whatever goes if I get hungry for I always wake up late like 12pm (and that's my breakfast time), and between that, before going to work, I, sometimes eat a banana, or some peanut butter sandwich, or at least a handful of almonds (almonds is a must for everyday). Then apple and banana during break time 0r snack time, Salad for my dinner which includes Fish stick/Salmon/Chicken Nuggets for the flavoring/topping. I usually eat dinner after I went to the gym, if I did not go.

Having said my at least basic food intakes, I still don't know much of what I am getting. (Fat, Protein, Calories, Carbohydrates). So in order for me to know how to gain/lose/burn some fat or muscle, I should know the minerals that my body is taking.

I think I'm a health conscious now. I always take a look of the product's Nutrition Facts. To see how many carbs are in there, fat, calories, etc. Trying to take a look if I'm having too much. But now that I weight between 116~123lbs, I don't know exactly if my body is burning or gaining some fat or muscles. As far as I know, I can eat whatever I want if I want to, and as long I can feel soreness after working out. Then I can tell that at least I did something good to make one step to the 'tone' I like.

I haven't read most of the parts yet, but I googled some of 'calories per day needed to gain muscle'. The results are heaps, and still I have to figure out if I am doing good at my food intake. I am looking for a food intake calculator that will help me on how much nutrition I am getting with those food I just said that I am taking.

-------------------------------need to be fix. I don't want this one to be save as a draft so.. I am sharing what I need right now, and my eyes are keep on blinking which is my que to go to sleep. lol.

Shoot!

So bored, went off shooting and play with the Camera.. Here are some test shots... I'm not a Pro, I don't have any idea on how to use the camera so... Had some playing with Focus, Lighting, ISO's...

and yes, my table is a mess, wait til I upload my bedroom, it's messier.

Playlist....

I'm a bit of music junkie.. I can say, I can sing(well just sings along when the music plays), wherever I am. I always make sure if I'm going out for a long time, my iPod is definitely with me, I will forget my cellphone, but not my iPod. I listen to music everyday, even when I take a shower using my Nokia N70, just for music. (I dance to it rather than sing in the bathroom.. lolx - supposed to be secret but yeah I think it's worth sharing some about me). Before I go to bed, still I listens to one, I just put an alarm that will auto turn off after 15~30mins. I will wake up in the middle of my sleep because my ear hurts because the earphones are still on, and I will just remove it and after 5seconds, I'm back to my sleep.

Even at work that my coworker are/were amused that I happen to know alMOST of the lyrics that has been playing while we are working. "Okay, I swear, everytime you go here (cash register) and some music plays, you happen to know all the song (well, just most of the lyrics)" They (Tara and Patricia), has been listening then eh? I just don't tell em that most of it are in my iPod that is why. I don't have a radio so I do check some of the stations here, or while going to and from the gym travel time, most of the new songs I heard are from those stations, 94.1, 93.1, 102.7, 107.5..

I got hooked up listening to music when I was in highschool. Only and still, errr almost all of them are english, so I barely listens to Tagalog ones, yeah but idk about most of tagalog, I only know Parokya ni Edgar, Eraserheads, Rivermaya, Bamboo and that's it (I forgot some) but those are the only ones that has good type of music in Tagalog, Urbandub is one but all of their songs are still in english so....

I always makes some playlist on my iPod Classic. It depends on my mood on which one to listen to, what genres, beat, new/old... So browsing on my Music, most of them are downloaded by album so I don't really know some of the songs. If I am on the mood, I will put 'em on a new playlist.

I listen to most of genre's, from country to rock, reggae to pop, to christian or rnb's. As long as it gives good beat (I used to like low bass then) that has good bass if you put the volume on more loud mode. Beat, meaning, easy to catch up, or remember, and the Artist is well-known.

I have been putting up some music here on my blog page, and would like to track on which I had post. This one's for this blog only, I might share some of mine in my iPod but that's too many songs, most of the time I play is just the "Lift" playlist which has 62 songs in it, I can only listen to half of it when I'm in the gym (12-15songs/hr) and the other songs are just getting skipped.
I play upbeat of course most of the time, just to boost my pumping, running and getting back to mood. I play rock when I'm in the wet sauna, idk why, but it's fun playing rock when you are really sweating. They even ask me what am I listening to and some suggested to listen to this band.


I will still update this everytime I put a new one...

You can comment here if you think there's a good one!

Laugh 1

I always use the words "lol, lols/x/z, lmao, haha, hehe, heh" just to add up for at least saying it's nothing serious. or just had a good laugh.

but just to kill some time, off from work, I always browse something funny at the web, look for some under-the-sun, or anything new for everyday's happening. Usually at Yahoo.com homepage for some good articles.

Youtube - most or all of the videos can be find here so I youtubed one, and when you come back to that page again (when you're logged in) you can find similar videos that you had browse.

I found one funny/creepy cat here.



and srsly, it's kind of funny for me coz I have a cat in the P.I. and this one makes me LOL.

enjoy.

Summertime

I'm kind of late ranting this few. Having to live in Las Vegas, used to being cold every night/day. Aside from waking up late in the afternoon because I'm always awake at night.

I just put my jackets, sweaters, sweatpants in the box. I don't think it's appropriate to wear that this midyear slash summer. I'd punch if there's someone going to tell me "it's not the weather, it's the humidity", wow...

Just the right time to get some extra stuffs. Even new ones like....

Whiteboy's Rebel XS 1000D, I'm the one who uses this most.
I got my oh-so-long-on-my-wish-list-pair-o'-glasses.
Plus my new Nevada License, Yes! I have a new one now!
<~ This one is Photoshopped, so I still have not receive my actual card.





And lastly, a new job at some fast food restaurant. lolz.. I just got hired and will be starting this coming Friday.

erase the lastly, here's the real last part, I have to get a Health Card in order to get my fast food job.

and Thanks to HIM for this kinds of stuff I'm having right now. hehe..

still need to get my last one yet, my Shoes! Hopefully it's still available next month, too many expenses this month, argh. well I'm getting another job so, hopefully... hopefully haha.

There are some good/bad things here in Las Vegas. But I will compare being in P.I./CA/NV, I'll make another post for it.

Pacman FTW!

The recent fight didn't really get me excited. We don't have TV/Cable perhaps to watch Manny Pacquiao aka as "PacMan". He is the current 'Pinoy's People Champ' or forever will be. He brought too much Pride to Philippines that even well known persons go watch his every fight the moment he steps in the ring.

Manny Pacquiao - Emmanuel Dapidran Pacquiao (pronounced /ˈpækjaʊ/; born December 17, 1978), known as Manny "Pac-Man" Pacquiao is a professional Filipino boxer. He is the former WBC lightweight world champion, WBC super featherweight world champion, IBF super bantamweight world champion, and WBC flyweight world champion. He has also held the Ring Magazine titles for featherweight, super featherweight, and light welterweight divisions. For his achievements, he became the first Filipino and Asian boxer to win four world titles in four different weight divisions. He is currently rated by the Ring Magazine as the #1 pound-for-pound boxer in the world.

I had it wiki'd. To give you a little bit of info about him.

So I'm not really into this 'stuff' but if every Pinoy is being up for something that gives our country Pride then I'm in. Sad that I had work at that time too. Sad for his opponent when I knew he KO'd him within 359 Seconds. Like everytime Pacman fights, I'd go also thinking how much money hell going to get, win or lose. hehe.

Kudos to Manny, giving another pride to Pinoys.

I only heard that he won because my pinoy co worker text'ed her husband that Manny won by KO on 2nd round. Like Wth. EEEaaazzy... That's it. PPV for $47 goes for that 2 rounds, still worth it though, but at least give us some entertainment. I was working when PM blows his punch so, it's sucks big time having to miss those strikes. Hopefully next time he'll going to have a match again here in Las Vegas, I'll be watching him fight LIVE. hehe..

P.S.
My cousin anna text'ed me that Davi is throwing PPV fight at the house along with B's and B's (Boozes and BBQ's) so having to miss that one is another *&($. At least I'll earn some on the bright side *sigh*

Slow

It might have been the recession. Still, people shops around. Like they don't care, so am I. heh.
The store has been slow for the past few days, even our computer registers. I just got off from work and having difficult to understand the words my co workers were saying. As well for the water guy seller that just came offering to sell water outside the unit of our condo.

Happy does not want to take me to the gym yet. Until my doctor says I'm 'ok' then that's the signal for me to go back again. And will wait for that until monday for the clinic to be open. Yeah, it sucks big time having to miss gym, well, for me, it's like I have gotten used to going at least 4 times a week, and now missing 2days of my 4x. Bah... I applied my online/temporary discount card, hopefully it's a valid one.

I had a check up last Thursday, the doctor said to try a anti-allergies pills (Claritin D) google it if you are curious. I still don't care, I don't think I have an alergy/gies,but yeah, that was the doctor said, blah blah blah... EKG was done, 57BPM apparently. Being an issue. Now I've got the referral from her too *my left leg is having cramps right now argh* to go to cardiologist...

Dx - Sinus Bradycardia








what my EKG result what it looks like.

from Mayoclinic.com

Your heart normally beats between 60 and 100 times a minute to provide enough oxygen-carrying blood to your body. A heart rate below 60 beats a minute is called bradycardia.

Although a heart rate this slow can be normal during sleep or in a well-trained athlete, bradycardia signals a problem if you have signs and symptoms such as fainting or shortness of breath.

- probably the red word made me go something like that in order for the doctor to get the slowness beating of my heart.

I just don't get it. I am blogging this one. My oldest sister told Happy to not to take me to gym bah.. But I said to Happy to still take me and she wouldn't.. That's prolly the reason I blogged this one.

Now will wait on Monday to have me check and see what will happens.
