Do butterflies have bellies?

Day 8-10 (In Fontana)
7:00a.m.-12mn: Eat.Sleep.Beer.Eat.Sleep.Beer.Movie.Beer.Eat.Sleep.Sleep.Beer.Sleep

Fontana was fun. It was quite a change hanging out with people whom I hardly know (except for adel, gab, and enrique). But then, that was what we actually did, just hung out. We spent hours idling around the villa. Sleeping on the couch, eating chips in bed, or watching a movie. It was funny how we went to a resort with a water park and not swim until late the 2nd day. I blame the food and drinks for our laziness.We bought a case of red horse and some san miguels for our first night inuman. Though we only ended up drinking half of it. So, by the 2nd day we had a surplus of beer and scarce amounts of other drinks, like WATER and the like. No choice but to drink beer then. Food was good, even if we cooked them ourselves. However, I constantly felt myself compelled to eat when I have nothing to do in the villa. I'm bored by the Bastketball replays and the movies on tv, so I just sit by the kitchen counter eating junkfood and drinking beer. NOT HEALTHY.

Okay...Fontana was a definite low for my Butterfly Training. Time to lose them pounds AGAIN.

Goal for 12th Day:
Run(or at least walk) for 10k
Basic Weight Training (15 pounds would be enough)
Floor Exercises (Upped to 5 sets rather than 3 sets of ten)
Read (I've spent about only 2 hours this whole sembreak reading :(  )
Cook Pancakes!!
Script for Oriental Pacific
Research for Curriculum

I still have time to make the best out of my sembreak :D

Sembreak...

Sembreak by Eraserheads

About ten more days before the end of sembreak. I guess this song sums my sembreak so far =)) How's your sembreak going? :)

I feel the Burn...

I don't mean to spam your blog updates but I just find today (3rd day of training) to be very funny and noteworthy. Not in a "haha" way but in a "Ahhh...hehe -awardly-" way. So Here's another underdue post of Butterfly Training! (Not considering changing the name)

Post Script:
I warn you not to read this :)) It was supposed to be a coherent post which I was doing in the lib but I had to cut it short when the lib closed, So I thought of finishing it when I got home. When did though, I forgot what my punchline was but I also felt that all these words were to be wasted, it didn't seem right not to post it. So please do not enjoy my half-assed work hahaha :)

Kick-off!!!

Since this is the start of the sembreak, the period right before the next semester, I think this is the right time to start training myself. I plan to be at peak physical, emotional, spiritual, and hygienal condition. I am calling this the Butterfly training because after 3 weeks of grueling exercise I will metamorphosize(i believe this is a word) into a kick-ass, awesome Butterfly!! Not gay in any way :))

Day 1:
  • 5:30. Woke up, dressed up, one set of floor exercises, and ran.
  • 5:45. Tired as hell, went back to house, drank lots of water, looked at clock, and cursed.
  • 5:50 Floor exercises, sweat all over the floor, slipped while doing squat thrusts.
  • 6:00 Got Looked for Mom's yoga mat.
  • 6:10 Mom where is your yoga mat? It's there (while pointing indiscriminately). Kz Mom
  • 6:15 Found Mom's yoga mat in Sister's room. Proceeded with Floor exercises.
  • 6:45 Cleaned up room, opened door of smelly sweaty room, ate Breakfast (Banana Nutella Pancakes :D)
  • 7:00 Undressed, Took a shower, used Conditioner, brushed my hair, Blowdry, pomade. (Whut? I don't want unruly hair)
  • 7:45 Brushed teeth (Must make into a habit, there is no school to force me to brush my teeth D: )
  • 7:55 Shaved Mustache ( yes, I have a freakin' mustache haha)
  • 7:55 Finished Shaving Mustache, cursed.
  • 7:56 Put on sando :D, Turned on Computer, and Watched Sense & Sensibility.
  • 8:40 Wondered what happened to Emilie Francois, Searched IMDB, Get Sidetracked, Remembered NFL
  • 10:30 Felt relieved for the Patriots, Look at mail inbox, logged-on to facebook, remember Blogging about Butterfly training
  • 11:15 Blogged About Butterfly Training, Remembered I haven't finished watching S&S, cursed.

That was a nice start! =)) Things left to do today: Read a book, Get my hair cut, Watch another movie, Learn 12:51, Cook more Pancakes!
I wonder if this Butterfly Training would be successful in these three weeks :D =))

Thank You

Forgetting about that cheesy and uninspired post, this sem really was a joy. They say freshman year was the year to gain new friends, to adapt into your blocks, to assimilate into college life, and to enjoy. But I find it much more applicable to my 2nd Year. Yes, it was field filled with problems, failed exams, personal fights, and disappointments. But at the heart of it all, I feel glad and blessed by this sem, I've learned to be a better person, much stronger and much more confident. Surviving such a turbulent semester is testament to that. As i have stated a lot of times, I did not come this far with my power alone, there were people who helped me along the way. People who I'd love to thank. Part of these people is the elite circle and the rest of the bloggers, hahaha nays name. It might not seem much, but I really do appreciate you guys for spurring me on. Blogging, the ones posted and also the ones not posted (hehe), have helped through this sem. Not only was I able to release my pent up feelings but its also a much better feeling knowing you guys looked out and cared for me. Also, you guys sharing your blogs, yes I know they are public haha, mean a lot to me. We both trust in each other and enjoy each others emotions. So, this is just me saying thank you and wishing you all a happy sem break, here's to having a happy and blog-filled sembreak! :D

I was gonna entitle this Time but.....

Time falls away...


Is it just me, or did this semester go by really fast? I distinctly remember my first semester in Ateneo, with H1N1 and Ondoy already notching off some weeks, feel much much longer. What exactly did I do this semester to feel this way? I've gone through the cycle of days, weeks, and months without holding onto any moment, choosing to let things pass, and by this time, I'm frantically trying to catch the remaining hours without success. Ever since the start of this semester I've been bombarded with problems, offshoots and hangovers of the previous year, new found grievances, and persistent conflicts. The easiest way to deal with them, as I saw it, was to wait for tomorrow. Let the clock ticking away be analogous to your problems fading into obscurity .Wait for a new day, better days. The problem was if tomorrow didn't bring those bright sunrises and peaceful sunsets. The hours pass by fleetingly yet problems were still there keeping up, time flies when you're having fun apparently.
