Transform yourself with Schick

If you had the powers of MAN OF STEEL for one (1) week, how would you use it?

looking up on google, we have:
flight, invulnerability, superhuman strength, superhuman speed, super vision, super-hearing, super breath (including freeze breath), eidetic (whut?) memory, longevity, super olfaction (whut??), enhanced lung capacity, telekinesis, etc. (thanks wiki!)

but in the movie, MAN OF STEEL's most prominent superpowers appear to be:
flight, super strength and super speed

so going back to the question, if i had that mean bunch of god-like powers (referring to the 2nd list) for a week, how would i use it?

almost everyone wants to be that good 'ol selfless superhero who peeks his head into every social issue, protects the poor, chases criminals, saves the distressed damsel, etc. but seriously, that is too good to be true. one can't simply be too good and not puke (even spiderman turned black). sorry, let's bite into reality and realize that the question at hand is actually a personal question and not something you'd most definitely fake to earn a miss universe crown (or two movie tickets to a blocked screening of Man of Steel hihi)

i'll be honest. i'm not a bad person. just a selfish one. i can't afford to be superhero for a week, just imagine the grief it would cause everyone when i'm ripped off of my temporary superness! they'd be devastated! and i'll be shamed for the rest of my life as someone not worthy enough of permanent greatness. ugh, can't take that. lol

in other words (did my long intro kill you?), my 7-days trial of being a superhuman will all go to exploiting it for my personal benefit, none of those hypocritical causes of saving the world from eternal damnation and terrorism, feeding the hungry and alleviating poverty and all those shiz urgh i'm choking already. but hey, that's not to say i won't help anyone at all and be a mean jackass, if i come along someone in need i will definitely help (without exposing too much of my powers though). i believe there's still a considerable amount of good in me. hehe

so here's what i'll do, given a week, i'll devise a ONE WEEK WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM for myself and go to the gym! BWAHAHA i'll be having that (late) beach body i've always dreamed of finally!

- i'll run on the treadmill at 15kph non-stop for 1 hour.
- i'll average 150khp at the stationary bike for 1 hour.
- i'll lift crazy weights and focus on improving my major muscle parts (upper back, thighs and fl[abs])
- i'll do sit-ups repetitively until they shape up to a 6 pack (exaggerating haha)
- and of course i'll eat healthy.

that week will be the best pilot to kickstart my dream of living a fit and healthy lifestyle. if i do lose weight on that week (and i know i will!), i'll owe it to myself to maintain that figure. not necessarily exercise ala man of steel but at least continue the program in a (super) scaled down manner, haha. and of course, EAT HEALTHY!!

Wear It Your Way with Wacoal

i believe it pays a lot to have a variety of bras that you can wear with any kind of outfit. strapless for tubes, halters for wide necked top, conventional straps for the regular tee, etc. we women like to experiment a lot on clothes and it adds to the wow factor if we're wearing bras that compliment our wardrobe and flatters our.. well ... assets. it takes time to decide which clothes to wear if we're constantly bothered about how to match em with our undies. thankfully, fashion is made easy with Wacoal's newest installment! goys, i'm glad to share that Wacoal has released a new and exciting product that could cater to any of our fashion outtakes!

NuffnangPH & Kettle Korn's Fast & Furious 6 blocked screening!

my 4th free movie treat from nuffnang! anyway, i didn't expect a full house on this one specially that i thought it's exclusive for nuffnang winners only, but it turns out that Kettle Korn also had their own facebook promo and the winners were invited to the same block. it was sooo jam packed but nevertheless fun! >:D

cocktail food served! >:D

photobooth galore! >:D

 honestly, i was thinking of boycotting the screening because we have a company outing the next day with a 530 am call time so i thought i'd need all the time to rest and prepare cos i'll be hailing 2 hours away from the office pa. haha buti na lang, pumunta ako!

alam nyo kung bakit? kasi nanalo ako ng special prize!! i was among the top 5 most creative bloggers who joined the contest so i took home a bountiful lootbag from kettle korn! naks naman, wumi-winner ang lola nyo. hahaha

w/ my co-winners and Kettle Korn executives

 and the goodie bag contains...

2 packs of kettle korn + planner & pen, tumbler (na peg na peg ko!) + 2 free passes on their next movie promo!!

thank you so much kettle korn! with all honesty naman kettle korn is among the best popocorns i tasted. in fact, i believe nung college i had a barbecue-kettle-korn-phase (if you know what phases mean to me haha). ang sarap naman kasi talaga!

oraaayt so, how was the movie?

o crush <3

yung totoo, i haven't watched any fast and furious installment before so clueless ako sa mga ibang parts na i believe has reference to the previous movies, which is a lot. but it wasn't to the point na malo-lost ka, na-stress pa nga ako eh. masyadong ma-aksyon! and there was a time i cried pa haha and grabe lang maka-tibs si gisele ang gandaaa grabe. sorina hahaha

dahil dyan, i'm going to download all the movies and do a marathon with... what else but Kettle Korn! naman!

anyway i can't say if this was better or worse than its predecessors but i assure you it's one hell of a movie, specially the ending. hihi

salamat ulit Kettle Korn, till our next movie date!

dream summer trip #1

my family isn't the adventurous type. di talaga namin peg mag-outing outing siguro dahil na rin sa my parents are both too busy on their work and they can't afford to be away from the metro for long. me and my sister are too maarte and kuripot na we'd rather go to the mall and make pasasa sa aircon instead of magbabad sa araw and get an ugly tan after. besides, we don't have beach bodies to flaunt so we never thought of going to the beach as rewarding and fun.

but i always tell myself na one day, makakapag-boracay din ako. and i want it during the cold season where there's not much people in the beach and off-peak para mura. i'm content with just me and sister! one day i promise to bring her there! >XD just the two of us para di hassle! it's gonna be loads of fun! >XD

so after all this isn't a dream summer trip but err a dream trip lang hahaha

design day!

powerpoint presentation template

oh i loooove this day. mainly because uhm, napasarap ako sa pag-design ng powerpoint presentation. looki looki! i'm kinda proud of this! one of the rare times i'm asked to do something creative (visually) at work. took a lot of time on my part, isingit lang daw sa trabaho pero seriously di ko kaya isingit lang yung gantong trabaho. hahaha dahil dyan, i'm sooo behind my programming task. argh

and also because of that, napapa-isip nanaman ako. haha >XD

TBB summer party!

with Trobang BB (aka college friends!)

May 18, 2013 @ Private Pool sa may Luzon, QC (www.privatepool.net)

this is so far my favorite summer outing of the year! well, mainly because i haven't really gotten around the beaches hehe since the sun hit it up high. good thing i found out about this private swimming which is cheap, near, and has a good set of amenities (unli pool + billiards + karaoke)! we really wanted to go to the beach kaso eto lang muna nakayanan namin given the time and budget haha >XD

sarap ng buhay!

nakakatuwa lang cos it's been a year (for some) since we graduated so kahit pano di na kuripot pagdating sa mga ganto! HAHA ang saya saya talaga! sana maulit muli and next time sa beach na talaga! >XD i had so much fuuun! i love my friends!

[reaction] the fault in our stars by john green

oh i've finally finished reading. first of all i had quite a number of expectations because

1) a lot of my facebook friends are reading it, attempting to read it, or showing an interest with it
2) it looks like a chick flick (the cover at least), which i assume is easier to read and will not take up much of my time, plus i love reading flicks and finally
3) it's turning into a movie, so i guess it must be something, eh?

after 200 pages i told you how i felt about it, how i was about to cry at what i could be reading in the future. in short, it was that compelling. BUT eventually i got bored, confused and i felt anxious about these dying kids pretending to be deep when in fact they're as selfish as any non-sick kid out there. lol

it annoyed me how i cannot distinguish hazel from augustus, even though they're not alike in terms of character, because they talk alike and use the same level of english, same construction, and same playful use of adjectives. it seemed like i was reading a monologue most of the time. it's like i'm just reading off of the author's head and not of their 2 independent thought clusters. it's hard to follow who's talking when i'm faced with just a series of open-close quotes with no he-said she-said. urgh. van houten also follows closely in this list of overly contrived characters. i mean, i get it, i get the difference between the characters but that's only because it is described there that hazel is a girl, gus is a boy and van houten is an old fat guy. i had a hard time creating a mental profile of the characters based on how they converse. i hope you get my point.

i like discovering characters not as they are described narratively but rather as the author puts words into their mouths. and on that part, i was pretty disappointed.

i also didn't like that they made out. as sick dying teenagers i thought they had a much deeper appreciation of love making. it felt unromantic when they did that. then again, that's just my cultural point of view kicking in.

hmm, i'd say that for an attempt to turn a usually superficial first-person teenage flick about dying kids into a profound life-examining death rant, i'd give john green two thumbs up. except that i find it too trying-hard for 2 teenagers to talk too much metaphorical sense. i admire the overall thought of the book though, the depth in which it mirrors life and death in the tongues of 2 non-adults is impressive. plus, it's a funny book considering how sensitive the topic is.

and finally, this isn't a negative review (err maybe?)... more of a reaction against my preferences in plot+style balance. in any case this won't hinder me from reading more of green's works. hehe >:D
