My Longtime Struggle

If some people get pumped or become as happy as Larry every time other people say to them that they're getting skinnier, me, I'm noooot! For the past 18 years of my life, gaining weight has been a problem. I think I belong to those group of people whose genetics are that of what they call, ectomorph, which is the skinny body type. Body types that are described as ectomorph has a light built with small joints and lean muscles. Ectomorphs also has a very fast metabolism which makes gaining weight even harder. 

I eat a lot at home. I eat like a monster, as in taob yung rice cooker. But when I'm out or at school, I sometimes skip meals because (I know you already know the reason why) I'm studying hard....ahaha! No, seriously, I sometimes skip meals at school because I still have to finish my undone assignments, seatworks, etc. Anyhow, let's not lose hope. Get off of your butts now and start eating a healthy and balance diet. And hey, I  found something from the web that I want to share to you. Talagang nagsearch ako? Hahaha.


   1. Eat more calories
         We have different needs in terms of calorie intake since our body types varies. It depends on your body's metabolism. I actually found something on the internet that could estimate the daily calorie maintenance level. It says that my maitenance level is 2163 calories, meaning, I need to exceed this level to gain weight or in other words I need to have a 'calorie surplus' in my body (naks parang economics, may surplus!). To achieve that, I think I'll be needing to eat like every 3-4 hours!

     2. Get the rest of your diet

           Yes! Eat and drink more protein, fat, carbs, or if you want to take supplements, go ahead. Just be careful with its side effects, you might get zits that will just make you look worse. But it still depends on your skin type, though.


     3. Use a proper routine workout

           I've already tried going to gym before but I stopped because of our busy sched at school. Hopefully, I can get back soon! But for the meantime, I just exercise and lift weights at home. (syempre, only when no one's at home except me.) It's more advisable to go to the gym because there are instructors that will teach you the right and proper way of doing the exercises + there are several machines that can help or make your weight lifting easier + you'll gain more friends.

Rock 'N Roll \m/

This was taken last March, a few hours before Cynosure performed at the PUP Theatre.  (If you wanna know more about Cynosure just check it out here: CYNOSURE) You ought to be thinking why I was not with my friends? I was at the library, nagpapaka-emo, doing our 'thesis-thesisan' in statistics. Forever-loner, lol.

Queeny's 19th Birthday

Happy birthday, 'manager' ! Kahit hindi ako involved sa mga plano nila dyan, masaya naman kahit nakakahiya basta para sa'yo. Always keep your feet on the ground. Watch your words. Wear shorter short-shorts. Aral muna bago pantasya. Good luck! God bless!

Again, deep, deep down in my heart, happy birthday, Queeny!

Just Dropping By.

I missed blogspot bigtime! I'm here just to take a peek if my account is still working and to read the blogs of  people I'm following. After reading their posts, I was again inspired by the way they write and how their life have been since I last opened here.. My life? Well, school has always been very tough. Patayan na! Actually, what I'm doing right now is already what they call, 'buwis-buhay' since I still have hundred of pages yet to memorize. I really hate it how my minor subjects eat most of my time. Yung sobrang gusto ko ng mag-aral ng accounting tapos eeksena yun. Damn. Speaking of accounting, I really, really hope and pray that I would be able to pass this semester. I even told my parents the situation and what would be the consequences if I didn't make it. They gave me words of encouragement which I truly need right now. Those words coming from them are enough for me to get going and fight for my future. I know what I want. I just need to FOCUS.

Love month...valentine's day... Oh, nevermind. HAHA. I was so busy during those times with school stuff that I forgot to invite someone, or to go out with someone. As far as I can remember, I dated my thesis groupmates. Yes, we worked on our 'thesis-thesisan' because it wasn't really a thesis for me, I think it's just a mere requirement that we need to pass so that 'she' could have something to record on 'her' grading sheets. (Sana sapian si ma'am ng Holy Spirit while checking it.')

mmm..What else happened to me? Oh, yes. My friends and I grew closer. One thing I learned this past few weeks is that you can't live alone. No man is an island. You need to have a support group or networks of friends to guide you. Thanks to twitter, fb, and to the entire social media, mas madaling makipagcommunicate.

Need to get my eyebrows burnt again. Til next time.

Saw Einstein. How about you?

Just saw this at Mr. James Domingo's Profile. Yeah, bitch please... I'm still in love with Accounting, though. I just hope Accounting would love me, too.

Please Define Weirdo

Weirdo

1. A person who is considered strange to other people. This person may do strange things, so this person can be considered a "weirdo". 

2. A non-comformist who does not follow trends or a subculture. A true 'weirdo' will juat do what they feel, and can get along with most people. This person does not actually conform to a stereotype and shouldn't be labled.

Am I that weird that my peers always tell me that I'm such kind of person? They've been saying that sometimes my thoughts are kind of out of this world, my actions are quite strange, my tastes are... oh, I don't know. Honestly, I do not know which part of me is weird. And I haven't asked them why on earth are they calling me a weirdo. Actually, I've tried to ask someone in our barkada before, but that person didn't give me an answer at all (maybe, she was just too shy to slap reality onto my face. lol) I know nothing's wrong with me. I look like any ordinary student who is deprived of sleep. I'm a bookish person but I know how to interact with people well(even to strangers). I cram like almost everyday. I'm hating someone in class, and I'm starting to fall for someone in class, also. See, I'm just normal like you. 

I'm not offended. I'm just irritated. nakakaurat kaya yung sabihan ka everyday na 'weird,' 'weirdo.' But, at least, mga barkada/friends ko lang ang nagsasabi sa akin nun. They know me. Sila lagi kong kasama. They are the ones who have seen most of my epic failures kaya hndi na nga ako papalag, eh. haha...

But still, I'm curious why they find me weird? compliment ba yun or insult? Damn.

Friday the 13th

Got this from Yahoo!.

Here are some very interesting facts about the "somewhat celebrated" day:  

• * The fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskevidekatriaphobia, also known as friggatriskaidekaphobia. Those with this phobia often avoid their usual routines and fear anything to do with traveling on this day; some even skip getting out of bed on this day.
• * The exact origins of the phobia are unknown, but some credit Norse mythology for the fear. According to the legend, 12 gods were at a banquet when an uninvited demi god of mischief appeared, bringing the total number of gods to 13. His arrival brought about chaos which led to the death of another god, and the rest of the gods went into mourning.
• * Ancient Egypt considered Friday the 13th lucky, while Greece and Spanish-speaking countries consider Tuesday the 13th as unlucky. Thus, when the horror film “Friday the 13th” was released in these countries, it was renamed “Martes 13” (Tuesday the 13th). Many buildings arou
• * The Bible makes reference to the number 12, such as the 12 Apostles of Jesus and the 12 tribes of Israel. From this reference, many Christians believe that the number 13 represents incompleteness.
• * And the world do not have a 13th floor (alternately given the 14th floor tag) because of the fear of the number 13. Some hospitals, hotel rooms, apartments and condominiums do not have a room number 13 and some airports do not have a Gate 13.
• * The singer Taylor Swift has repeatedly said in interviews that her lucky number is 13. She was born December 13, 1989 (which incidentally did not fall on a Friday but on a Wednesday).
• * 2012 has three Friday the 13ths which fall on January, April and July. on January, April and July.
