Being a Freeman

It took me for a while to realize this. How free I am right now?

And it took me six long years to realize.. How free I should I be? Up to what extent?

Yes. This maybe insane but I somehow felt that I am caged in an invisible cell not because someone made it but because I chose to be. I chose to be imprisoned - subconsciously. In a world where the only constant is change, we should know when and how to adjust, to cope up and to keep up. Because if you lose this ability, you will be in great danger of slowly detaching yourself from yourself. How? I also do not know. But what I do know, whatever happens, do not let yourself depend on other people. Do not ever let your happiness be held by anyone other than yourself.

Be your own happiness.

Agree? You may find yourself wondering, what the hell am I talking about? How is that even possible? Every person can shed their own light for you. But as far as I remember, we all have the ability to deflect or accept that light. Yes, others can make you happy but it is up to you whether you will be happy or not. Find anything that will make you happy. Life is too short. Do not waste it. Grab every chance. Spread your wings. Fly and be in a state of invisibility where you can feel that you are the king of the world. Find your happiness and once you have it do everything you can to hold on to it. Do not let it slip away. Dahil sabi nga nila, "Minsan, isang beses lang ang biyahe, baka wala nang susunod."

Enjoy the ride. Have fun. And be happy!

Cheers!

Insanity: "Are you insane enough?"

It all started when I wondered what is happening. What is happening with my body?

I think we all, at times, should ask this. Yes, I used to be a 180-pounder guy but I also used to be a 158-pounder. So, what happened? I also do not know. All I know is that this year, I am very focus and determined to lose all those extra flabs whatever it takes. Yes. WHATEVER IT TAKES!

I started playing Ultimate (Frisbee for the most) August 2011. If you are not familiar with the sport, this one is a serious one. It is not just about throwing the disc. It is, for me, the best team sport. No superstar. No one on one. Pure team play. And chemistry is very crucial. And as a player, it requires you to run up and down the field. Hence, carrdio resistance is needed for you to be able to play in a top level.

Taken last December. First tournament. More to come.

How can I do this if I have these extra flabs? And this leads me to be insane. Haha! Some of my teammates have been telling us about this workout. The Insanity work out. I asked for a copy and poof I have one already. I do not know anything about the work out aside from it is effective and it is insanely difficult. That really gets me interested.

Finally today, I get to experience the work out first hand. You have to believe the title. It really is Insanity!!! It was only the fitness test that I did today and I just found out how out of shape I am. From here on, I made a promise to myself that I will finish the program all the way. Just 2 months and a week in between.

This is not to scare you but to motivate you. Please ask yourself, 'What is happening with my body?'. If you are already satisfied and happy with what you have, I will be happy for you. But if you feel that you are out of shape and wants to improve your body holistically, it will be my honor to hand you over a copy of this work out. After all, nobody will prioritize you other than yourself. Let's all do this.

A Year of Learning - 2012

It is the first day of the year 2012. An annual 'New Year' reunion was held in our humble abode. Kids were running around everyone. The not so kid anymore finding things to be busy about. And the kids at heart just expressing their ideas and emotions.

When I was the kid in the family, I just enjoy running around. I do not care back then whatever is happening around me. All I care about is to play with my cousins. By the way, I have 24 cousins. But only a few are here. After this celebration version 2012, I know now what role I will play in the family.

I hope you enjoyed the first day of the year as much as I did. Have a great 2012!!

Have a blast everyone!!!
