You can burn up to 600 calories for an hour of swimming. It has made my mermaid sister slimmer. She used to be really chubby. Guess it runs in the family lol.

Now a part of DLSU synchro team, her love for sport made her more active socially and physically. She bounces around like a bunny you need to say find rechargeable batteries aa asap. She’s slim, fit and happy. Swimming can change your life.

Fun to do, even if you don’t have a kettlebell, you can sub it with a dumbbell. Recommended is 4lbs but I’m using 6. Just be careful and hold on to that thing. Lots of swinging going on you’ll end up breaking something if you’re not careful.

Went to buy a calendar today and got the cheapest one with the Desiderata text which is totally apt for the New Year. So if you were disappointed that you didn’t get that diamond ring engagement you wanted last year, being afraid of getting old then read on and think about this old poem by Max Ehrmann. It could make your 2013 a better one. Here’s the text taken from Wikipedia.

Go placidly amid the noise and the Haste,

and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender,

be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly;

and listen to others,

even to the dull and the ignorant;

They have Their story too.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons;

They are vexatious to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,

you may Become vain or bitter,

for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;

it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

EXERCISE CAUTION in your business affairs,

for the world is full of trickery.

But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;

many persons strive for high ideals,

and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.

Neither be cynical about love,

for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,

it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,

gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.

But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.

Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,

be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe

no less than the trees and the stars;

you have a right to be here.

And Whether or not it is clear to you,

no doubt the universe is Unfolding as it Should.

Therefore be and peace with God,

whatever you conceive Him to be.

And whatever your labors and aspirations,

in the noisy confusion of life,

keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,

it is still a beautiful world.

Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. 

It’s really different when you listen to an orchestra of professional musicians. Great sound comes from Cellos at WWBW . You have to know where to buy the ones that give you the luxurious experience without spending a fortune. Shows that want to give the best to their audience choose the perfect instruments to show their talents and expertise. Luxury of symphony that’s what it is.

“E-cigarettes” are battery-powered devices that allow users to inhale a vaporized liquid nicotine solution instead of tobacco smoke. They were designed as a way for smokers to get their nicotine fix without exposing themselves, or other people, to the toxins in tobacco smoke – Huffington Post

Saw today that E cigarettes are actually bad for your health. So to all the smokers who are trying to quit, well you gotta try other ways. It can eventually cause lung problems. The same reason why you wanted to quit in the first place. Smoking is a habit that gets expensive and risky for your health. What’s the point exactly? Stressed, get a massage. Need time to think, meditate. Do it the positive way.

Happy Holidays Everyone! Guess you’re busy with your Christmas lists. Don’t forget to remember who this is all for. Remember the people you love and the people who deserve a bit of love too. Show a little kindness and do away with negative thoughts.

There are cheap labels online but Super Mario prefers shopping at the mall. Looks like he favors Motorola too.  Here he is flirting ha ha. Not a usual sight you’ll see at the mall. I remember playing Super Mario when I was young, jumping on those bricks, ravishing all those mushrooms. It made for fun memories with my cousins and siblings. Now Super Mario has moved to Wii which is kind of cool.

It’s that time of the year when people go bring out their Benedetto Guitars to start singing the most melodious Christmas songs.  There are many guitars out there but it seems like these guitars have the design techniques that are almost incomparable. Christmas carols sound amazing with mahogany built bodies and its great quality encompasses the chill of the night. I always look forward to the  Five Saints group that yearly serenades us with their Christmas love songs

Christmas is coming and my hubby’s brother is asking help to look for a specialty dj table . Turns out a good friend happens to be an aspiring DJ. It’s not easy to look for something you don’t know about but it turns out there are DJ software like Traktor Pro 2  or those types that make mixing, effects making and  monitoring all those sounds easier. For someone starting out its surely going to be fantastic if he could start out with something easy to control but can produce dance inducing rhythms. So were still looking hopefully we can help out.
