Happy Birthday Nikola Tesla!

This is Google's logo for the day. In remembrance of Nikola Tesla, an Austrian-American inventor, mechanic and electrical engineer. Last February, I got the privilege to see one of his famous inventions, the Tesla Coil when we visited Mid-America Museum in Hot Springs. It's a 1.5-million-volt conical Tesla Coil which is also known as "Caged Lightning". Amazing, isn't it?

Exercise can be fun

I did not walk on the treadmill today but I did a 35-minute fat cardio hip-hop workout instead. It was fun, I like it! It’s more like dancing to the tune of hip-hop music but you have to squeeze your abs the whole time. I just thought of incorporating a different routine in my exercise and I enjoyed it so far. We have a WII but I have yet to buy WII Fit. It might add more spice to my exercise routine. I remember those days back when I was going to the gym. There you can always vary your exercise routine for they have treadmills, stationary bike, elliptical, weights, boxing and of course they have aerobics classes as well. They sell protein drinks, bottled water, multi-vitamins and an assortment of fat burner pill. Then, there’s the fact that it’s much fun since you’re not exercising alone. But I think I’d like to exercise at home for I don’t have to worry about commuting to and from gym. Not to mention the monthly payment. How about you? What’s your exercise routine like?

Regine Velasquez tested positive for influenza A(H1N1) virus

Waaahhh! The songbird was infected with H1N1 virus. She's supposed to be the special guest of Charice Pempengco's first major concert in the Philippines but she was hospitalized and couldn't make it to the said show. I just found out tonight on T.V. Patrol that she indeed got the virus but thankfully she recovered. She's not certain where she got it but her immune system must have been pretty low considering that she was overworked from a series of concerts here in the U.S. then she went straight to work right away when she got back to the Philippines. I'm glad that she's looking healthy and pretty again. It just shows that anybody could get the virus so we really have to be extra careful. Tsk. tsk. tsk.

The easy way is not necessarily the best

Perhaps, it’s really human nature that we rather succumb to fast and easy ways of getting our problems fixed than work it out slowly but surely. I am particularly talking about my battle of losing weight. The natural way of doing it is still the best option but when you have a wedding in 6 months, you think about whether there’s an easy route out there. I’ve read some diet pill reviews over the internet, and quite honestly, it’s hard to tell which product is worth it. Not to mention my reluctance to resort to any kind of diet pills for that matter. Needless to say, I know I should double my effort to lose weight before the big day comes.

The heat is unbearable!

Are you enjoying the summer heat so far? Well, to me it's no fun. It’s sooo hot today I think my head is going to explode while I walked my way to the parking lot after work. If I’m not mistaken, it’s over a hundred degrees here in our place and the heat is just so unbearable. Yeah, I am from the tropics but I think it’s hotter here than it is in the Philippines, however I think it’s more humid there. Anyway, I’m not wild about summer here in Arkansas. When I got home I feel weak and lose the interest to treadmill anymore. I’m going to research about Costabella and Liporexall while the chicken is baked in the oven. I’ll just eat chicken, boiled egg and veggies tonight, that way I don’t feel guilty even if I didn’t exercise, lol.

King of Pop is on my IPod!

I'm not a Michael Jackson fan but I must admit that I like most of his songs. However, I didn't own any of his album but I grew up liking Heal The World, Billy Jean, We Are The World, Bad, Beat It, Thriller, She's Out of My Life, I Just Can't Stop Loving You and so much more. Now that he passed away, I have this sudden need to at least have these timeless songs on my IPod, so I downloaded them from ITunes and I listened to it while I walked on the treadmill today. Too bad he passed away at a young age. While I was watching the memorial service, I'm thinking it seems like he's much appreciated now that he's dead than when he's alive especially after a quite scandalous phase of the pop icon's life. Anyhow, I'm saying my goodbyes to the King of Pop! May his soul rest in peace.

Looking for stands and mounts?

Flat screen TV seems to be a part of every American household. I would like to have one myself but hubby thinks it’s not a good idea to get one yet since our Sony Wega is still working great. But when the time comes that we badly need to get a new TV set, it has to be a flat screen and as early as now, I found a pretty good site to look for LCD mount. They have all kinds of stands and mounts for your video and home theater entertainment equipments. You might want to check it out yourself and enjoy free shipping on all items.
