Yes, I recognized this night. Just like the ones that i had before, this is the one that makes me wide awake a midst of a tiring day. The effect is like drinking a jug of caffeine (which normally makes me palpitate), makes my mind active and that triggers my being 'paranoid'. I can't really gauge who's to blame but one thing's for sure: both sides are affected, both sides got hurt.
He didn't mean to tell me that. I didn't mean to say that. But hey! i have the every right to speak my heart out. I guess the timing wasn't right. So now, I'm guilty for spoiling his night. Instead of letting him take a rest, I hurt him unintentionally. How I wish I could hug him right now and make up to what I just did. So far, doubting him is the most painful thing that I did to him. I just realized it isn't fair, after all the efforts he is continuously exerting.
I felt really sorry with what i just said. I wish I can hug him right now until he feel better.
Moves like Jagger :D
Moves Like Jagger - Maroon 5 ft. Christina Aguilera
LSS since yesterday ;) I <3 Adam but I kinda don't like his moves here. Anyway, this song is pretty good though it is a revival.
"Take me by the tongue
And I'll know you
Kiss me 'til you're drunk
And I'll show you
All the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like jagger
I don't need to try to control you
Look into my eyes and I'll own you
You with the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger"

Good Morning sunshine! Woke up very early today, ate my breakfast then started working (or should I say brain storming). After few minutes, I'm hungry again (normal)!! A bit later, kuya Jonas pm'ed me with 'burger'. SO NOW, I'm craving for onnnnneeeeee. *smack!*
du-du-du-ru-du-du. 1-2-3-4!
Catchy song from Pizzicato Five! Sweet Soul Revue ;) A feel good song to jumpstart my day full of positivism ;) Good morning sunshine! :D
Woke up in the wrong side of the B-E-D
I don't have the slightest idea why I feel this way. Suspicion is slowly winning up my head over a person very close and dear to me. Should I confront the person involve? or should I let it pass? Maybe I'm just overreacting with things lately that being paranoid is completely registered in my head now. Damn! this sure sucks but well then anyway, this will pass ( I guess) because if don't, I'm sure as hell something is up. (talk about gut feel).
For the mean time, I'll doze off. Haven't had a decent sleep in the last 24 hours. cheerio folks! :P

An answer for the 'weighty' problem
I bumped in an article on Yahoo! about speeding up one's metabolism. Well, the article obviously does not fit me because I'm obviously (and reasonably) thin. But for my follower's out there who has, have, or having problems with their weight (,for anorexics who still want to boost it up, and to those who keep on denying their 'weighty' problem. *just kidding*), this article is right for you.
Do Intervals
Mixing in fast-paced intervals raises your metabolic rate higher than doing a steady cardio workout, and will continue to do so up to an hour after you’re done, says Kristin McGee, a trainer and Pilates instructor whose client list includes Tina Fey and Bethenny Frankel. An Australian study also found that women who did intervals while they were biking lost three times as much fat as those who worked out at a steady pace. If you’re a walker, simply walk at your normal pace for 1 to 2 minutes, then speed-walk for 30 to 60 seconds. Repeat the sequence 10 to 15 times.
Opt for Caffeine
It’s time to hit Starbucks. A study published in the journal Physiology & Behavior shows that coffee drinkers have a 16 percent higher metabolic rate than those who abstain or drink decaf joe, because caffeine increases your heart rate and stimulates your central nervous system. Spread out the cups over your entire day to keep your metabolism running at a boosted rate—just be sure to have your last cup by early afternoon so you can hit the pillow with no problems later on
Add Some Ice
Though the increase is modest, there is some evidence that drinking cold water can cause a slight surge in metabolic rate. Since your body maintains a core temperature around 98.6°F, cold water will be brought to that temperature after being consumed and calories are burned during the warming process. Discovery Health deduced that you can burn up to 70 extra calories a day if you follow the common rule of drinking eight 8-ounce glasses of cold water per day. Need another reason to up your water intake? Researchers at the University of Utah found that participants who drank half of the recommended amount of water per day (four 8-ounce glasses), not only showed signs of dehydration, they also experienced a 2% decrease in calories burned per day.
Eat a Big Breakfast
It’s time to nix the oatmeal with skim milk. Instead, start your day with a fatty breakfast, including eggs and even a piece of bacon, suggests Molly Bray, PhD, lead author of a recent study showing that a fat-filled morning meal will jumpstart your metabolism for the day faster than a lowfat, low-calorie breakfast. Another study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology found that people who eat 22 to 55 percent of their total calories at breakfast gain 1.7 pounds over four years. That’s not bad considering those who eat 0 to 11 percent of their calories in the morning gain nearly 3 pounds.
Drink Green Tea
Not only does green tea contain enough antioxidants to keep colds and the flu at bay, but it also does wonders for your metabolism, according to a study published in the journal Phytomedicine. Researchers found that people who drank the equivalent of three to five cups daily for three months shaved 5 percent off their body weight. Green tea contains ECGC, a plant compound that stimulates your metabolism, says Rania Batayneh, MPH, a nutritionist in private practice in San Francisco and Portland, Oregon, and founder of Essential Nutrition consulting.
Don't Skimp on Dairy
Calcium-rich foods and drinks, including milk, yogurt and cheese, increase the rate at which fat turns into waste, says a study by researchers at the University of Copenhagen published in the The Journal of Nutrition. It doesn’t matter what form of dairy product you’re consuming as long as the serving size is adequate (keep it lowfat!)—either a full glass of lowfat milk or 6 ounces of yogurt is perfect. Also, the study noted that you have to actually ingest the calcium in its natural form; supplements don’t work due to differences in the chemical makeup.
Build More Muscle
Gaining lean muscle mass boosts your metabolism and makes losing weight much easier, McGee says. If you add just 5 pounds of muscle to your body, you’ll burn up to 150 more calories per day without even working out those muscles. And, you can burn an average of 600 calories per hour during your cardio workout thanks to that extra muscle mass. “Muscle burns more calories than fat does, even at rest, so any strength-training activities to build lean muscle are excellent,” McGee says. The key is to challenge all your muscles and do a full-body strength-training workout, hitting your core, arms, legs, back and chest.
Pick Up Heavier Weights
By using heavy weights at a very slow rate—twice as slow as would feel natural—you break down your muscles (you’ll know the weights are heavy enough and the workout slow enough if you start to shake after just a few lifts or squats). Researchers at Wayne State University found that when your body repairs those overworked muscles, it causes your metabolism to increase for up to three days after the workout.
Do Intervals
Mixing in fast-paced intervals raises your metabolic rate higher than doing a steady cardio workout, and will continue to do so up to an hour after you’re done, says Kristin McGee, a trainer and Pilates instructor whose client list includes Tina Fey and Bethenny Frankel.

To start with..
It has been a year since I wrote my last blog on my other account. As I read all the articles that I have written for the past 3 years, I can't help but laugh softly because of the silly topics that I have come up. Though its SILLY it does make sense somehow because I just realize that I have undergone a totally normal teenage 'era'.
And before I tell you what was my "teenage era" like and how cheesy it is, let's drop everything here. (maiintriga na naman kasi ako xD)
This is my first entry in my 2nd blog in the first month of the year 2011 and its just so right to share my insights about this year. Not like everybody, I don't expect much for the current year. I don't even have a new year's resolution like most of the people traditionally have (because I tend to break it every now and then. hehe.talk about being oh so stubborn). But compared to the past 9 years ( a.k.a the Arroyo Government), I am very optimistic in terms of our political and economical status not because I am an Aquino supporter. I am just so excited (and everybody surely does) about the "new" thing. And just like Gretchen Baretto's famous line, "out with the old,in with the new".
