Christmas Shopping

Last year i bought four pants and two polo shirts but they are all gone now, I mean they are still in my closet but i am no longer wearing them.

Christmas Shopping

my target is to have a flat abs, i made it before i want it back!

i've been very comfortable with myself i eat a lot and notice that i am gaining weight. its almost a month now since i went back to the gym but everything is the same maybe because i am not strict with diet and i am not serious with the programs.

By January I will take it seriously, I will try to be very strict with my diet. I will consult Kuya Obet (fitness instructor) for the things that I have to do. Perhaps I will try not to eat rice for one month and let's see if it will work again!

No hamburgers and french fries

VALID ID's

I went to SM Pampanga to buy a new bag, I used my credit card and then the cashier asked me for a valid ID, i handed her my driver's license (renewed early this year). She looked at me from head to toe and asked "Ikaw ito Sir?". I smiled and I said that's me.

Hehehe ang taba ko, hindi ako makikilala ng immigration officer!

to my AC friends

I miss you all guys!, next time sasama na talaga ako. Nung nalaman ko na halos lahat pala nandiyan bigla akong nainggit sana di na lang ako nagexam!...

BTW, kem is coming on January next year, that is really a good news!

two consecutive long-weekends

I remember during my college days in Letran we only have four days in a week, we don't have class every Friday so everyweek was a long-weekend. My life then was worry free except when i was doing my thesis. Now, its a totally different thing, no class would mean that we would be doing a lot of homeworks and i hate doing homeworks! I'd rather review for a long exam than to do homeworks!

Weight Check!

My weight is 78kg, just the same since the last time i checked. Hehehe from then on i don't have any exercise and i eat normal meals but in moderation. I will go to the gym again by Monday next week.

I attached my old picture, taken last February I was 106Kg++ that time and the other one was taken few days ago.

The NEW me

106 Kgs now 75 kgs in just almost five months.

Tinatamad kami!

I have a whole day class every Monday and Tuesday. Actually the class should only be halfday but due to unavailability of qualified professors we have to suffer of having a 7am-10am daily and 4pm-8pm for Mondays and Tuesdays. After a long exam in the morning my fellow second coursers (Christian and Arreane) decided not to attend class in the afternoon. Thinking that our professors would only demonstrate the proper procedures we can just our classmates to do it for us. Christian went to school despite of the agreement that we had and too bad that he told everybody including the professors that Arreane and I decided not to attend because "TINATAMAD KAMI".

I do not know what to do!

We have exams tomorrow, a short exam in the morning that needs full comprehension and another short exam in the afternoon plus demo. I was reading my notes about communicable disease et al. when Ate Mimi, my fellow second courser student asked me if we have class tomorrow, i looked at the window... yes she is right the weather is bad but if it would just be the same until tomorrow we can still go to class. I am not even bothered to turn on the tv or asked professors and other classmates. Then suddenly my dad texted me, asking if we are affected of the typhoon then i turned on the tv and it seems that classes will be suspended tomorrow.

WEIGHT (trend)

End of January 106Kg

February 106Kg

March 100Kg

April 90Kg

May (27) 82Kg

The recommended weight for my age and height is 76-81Kg (I am close).

The actual target that i set for myself was October and i've never thought that it will be as fast as this. In three months of diet and two month of workout i am close to my target.

It is true that patience is a virtue and no pain no gain!

UNBLOCKING iphone

My sent back his iphone because he can't use it in the middle east. Anyone here knows a specialist/shop where they can unblock it? Thank you!

EXEMPTED AKO!

Our instructor in biochemistry announced that those who got 1.75 (89%) and above on their mid-term grade and consistently performed well for pre-final term will be exempted for the final exam. The mid-term exam grade will be the same grade for final exam. Ms. Carpio and Mr. Borbon were also exempted.

February 2008

For the fast few weeks I have been very busy. I went to Batangas and Quezon with friends; I attended my high school Alma matter homecoming; I had my 22^nd Birthday in our house and I went to Baguio last week end, Mayang and I went to Subic yesterday and Iyel (a high school friend) is inviting us to go to somewhere this week end.

I miss two consecutive Mondays of Biochemistry Class thank God that our exam yesterday was cancelled and moved today and luckily I got high score though I miss to review some topics that were discussed yesterday but I am so disappointed with my health economics exam, Maha (my classmate) was disappointed too, we missed to answer four items and that was our worst exam ever.

Actually the second semester is almost over, we’re done with two subjects and the exams will take place this Friday (in form of Symposium) and Tuesday next week. I am also looking forward to be exempted with my Biochemistry class (though I have a small chance now because I missed one exam).

2ND ROUND REPORT, dealing with my group mates

Hey I am still up! Its 1:30 in the morning here. I just finished my written report thanks to youtube because it enables me to summarize the 6 pages of single space 12 font size into one page. I guess youtube will also be very much helpful for my anatomy and physiology and perhaps in other nursing subject. It only means that multimedia is an alternative way on learning things. (It reminds me of a thesis wrote by a schoolmate regarding multimedia as medium of instruction for special children hahaha if it works for normal individuals why not with them hahaha)


Anyway, I emailed the entire report to my group mates with a note; I hope that the note will not be understood by them. This is actually our second round. During the first round we experienced a lot of troubles. One of my group mates didn’t review his part, the other didn’t bring the written report, and another was absent. I was not able to control my self to blame them on what the hell are they doing.

After that I heard bad feed backs from my classmates regarding the attitude that I showed towards my group mates during the first round. Then there were individuals who do not want the class to be regrouped for the second round because they are afraid to be my group mate. Honestly, I don’t mean anything to them I just want them to be responsible.

These are the notes that are enclosed to my email

• Everyone must have a copy of written report. I will not assign a particular report to you. Read and study everything. (walang magrereklamo, if you get the hardest part that’s for your own good)
• Someone must add the terms that I missed to include in the definition of terms. Used www.ask.com for uniformity. Follow the format and don’t change the margin.
• Someone must create the presentation. Don’t put everything as much as possible only the key terms charts and figures.
• Make a front/title page, just in case you don't know my real name is Lawrence William Y. Cruz.
• If you have questions regarding the content of the report don’t ask me use the internet it could give you more information than me.
• See the youtube links for the videos.
• Promise me that we’ll get higher this time.

Busy schedule and missing drivers license/

Yesterday, I went to SM Pampanga to buy some stuffs I was about to go to the grocery when my Tita reminded me that my temporary SM advantage card was already expired. I went to Services Department and they requested for a valid ID for confirmation purposes so I took my drivers license from my wallet and I just placed it in my bag after. This afternoon my Tito asked me regarding the renewal of my license and I realized that I didn’t see it when I transferred my things to another bag so I checked my bags and wallet and now I do not know where is my license. If I don’t see it, it only means that I have to pay additional charges to the LTO (I doubt if I can rebate such amount from SM Advantage Card) plus I have to take jeepney and trike for three days! Because the only time that I can go to LTO is on Wednesday!

I have two reports next week perhaps on Tuesday but the written report must be submitted on Monday there is no other time for me to do it than now because I am going to Batangas. I have the choice not to go to and do this report but I don’t want to miss the trip. I was informed ahead of time and I confirmed it right away and besides the entire trip is for free.

hanging a fresh pineapple fruit for chinese new year.

We've been doing this for more than ten years now.

KNAPSACK

I was about to pay the gray (nike) when i saw the red (samsonite). I ask for my tita mimi's opnion and she said that samsonite is better in terms of color, style and material.

BDO-EPCIB

I went to BDO-EPCIB to inquire about the money that was sent to me last month but not yet credited to my account. I showed to her the receipt and she tried to trace the transaction on the computer after not finding anything she talked to the manager. Then the manager gave her a hot-line number to call, unfortunately she can't contact the number and she gave me the number and ask me to call the hot-line. My problem is we don't have a PLDT phone and there is no other way to call the number. Anyway I will still try to call that number because i don't have choice and let's see what will happen.

My resolutions

I will not miss a sunday mass. Too sad i was not able to hear the New year's mass but i guess when you fail to answer question number1 in an exam it does not mean that you can't perfect the rest.

I will no longer eat dinner though delicious foods are served on the table tonight and I will not eat too much except on special occassions like today!

Today should be the last day that I am gonna drink sodas I had done that for a straight three months before so why not try for a whole year now and besides its good for health.

I will save the 25% of my allowance and the cash gifts that i will receive in the entire year. If i can make it i can go to Singapore at the end of the year.

I will not buy something i do not need except for the external hard drive because i have been planning to buy one since last year and besides i guess i really need it.

As much as possible I want all my transactions to be cash basis or atleast lessen the use of credit cards. I hate headaches every end of the month.

I will create a picture diary and calendar so i must have a picture of myself each day.

I know that this is hard but this year i will try not to be mean.
