One of those moments...

This was one of my experiences when we went to Manila during the very long weekend. This was a 'one of those unbelievable moments' thing, so here it goes:

So we just checked in at our hotel and were planning to go shopping. We were waiting for our car at the lobby. They, mom, my sister, cousin, and yaya, were facing the inside of the lobby while I was facing the front of the lobby. I was very impatient waiting for the car, hence I was the only one facing the doors of the hotel. I was also looking at the people who were entering the hotel. Unexpectedly I saw a familiar looking face. I say familiar because it was a very famous face. At that time I was thinking, 'Did I just see...'. Well, somewhere along those lines. Then I was uncertain because it wasn't just everyday that you could get to see that person. So I asked my companions, 'Was that Ogie Alcasid who just passed by?'. Then they were like 'WHERE??!!'.

It was a very unbelievable experience, but I was 100% sure that that was Ogie Alcasid that I saw. It was confirmed because my cousin said 'No wonder...'. I was so happy because I was the only one that saw him straight on.

FitFlop

FitFlop footwear is biomechanically engineered to help tone and tighten your leg muscles while you walk in them. Studies at the Centre for Human Performance at London South Bank University (LSBU) show that normal walking in FitFlop sandals* can help:

• - help increase leg and bottom muscle activity (up to 30%). (so you feel less ache in your hips and knees),


• - absorb more shock than a normal shoe (up to 22%),


• - help realign ground force reaction closer to your joints,


• - reduce foot pressure.

FitFlop footwear features patent- pending muscle-loading Microwobbleboard™ technology and was independently tested at Salford University in Manchester by Dr Philip Graham Smith & Richard Jones to verify their pro-muscle activity prior to launch. (FitFlop has also been approved by the American Podiatric Medical Association - APMA.

This is now one of my favorite footwear :D

BLACKBIRD.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Black bird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
all your life
you were only waiting for this moment to be free

Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.

Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise,
You were only waiting for this moment to arise,
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

The Power of CHOCOLATE!

While I was asking my mom for good topics to write for my blog, I discovered a wonderful 'Did-you-know-that' fact and an awesome trivia. Enjoy :D

Did You Know That : Those who were depressed ate an average of 8.4 servings of chocolate per week?

Trivia: "Depression may stimulate chocolate cravings, and rat studies show that chocolate could improve mood." -Beatrice Golomb M.D., Ph. D, University of California

SUSHI.

I sometimes get weird food cravings. Right now I feel like having Japanese food. Last time I wanted chocolates, now I'm up for sushi. Weird, right?

Sushi- is a Japanese dish consisting of cooked vinegared rice which is commonly topped with other ingredients, such as fish or other seafood, or put into rolls. Sliced raw fish by itself is called sashimi, as distinct from sushi. Sushi that is served rolled inside or around nori, dried and pressed sheets of seaweed, is makizushi. Toppings stuffed into a small pouch of fried tofu is inarizushi. A bowl of sushi rice with toppings scattered over it is called chirashizushi.

FRO YO craze!

Frozen Yogurt a.k.a Fro Yo- a frozen dessert made from, or containing yogurt or other dairy products. It is slightly more tart than ice cream, as well as lower in fat (due to the use of milk instead of cream). It differs from ice milk (more recently termed low-fat or light ice cream), which does not include yogurt as an ingredient.
