Exercise!

I joined a fitness gym near our place since March which includes aeroboxing, step, hi-lo, zumba, and yoga classes from 7-9am. Mostly I enjoy the Yoga sessions since dancing is not one of my better skills. I find it amazing that mere poses can make you sweat so hard! We've been doing this pose and I'm a bit afraid my spine will not support my body that one day it'll break:

LOL, wishing for the best! :)

Atchie's Birthday Surprise!

Yesterday I compiled some old younger pictures of my sister as a birthday present to her and I'm glad that she liked it! Actually I forgot that it was her birthday earlier, and made this video, including taking the pictures for less than 2 hours with iMovie, and was done around 10pm. I was supposed to download the "Birthday" song from The Beatles but I couldn't get a copy, so I just picked one from my playlist, "My Girl", only later to find out that the lyrics were perfect for the video, ".. when it's cold outside, I've got the month of May". I almost thought that I wasn't gonna be able to upload it online after several failed attempts to upload it to Facebook or Youtube due to copyright infringement issues. Gladly, I was able to use Vimeo to export the movie, and was finished uploading a few minutes before midnight! Bitin nga lang yung video, d ko naedit masyado.. so here's the (semi) finished product!

Note the subtle hint with regards to her age.. mwehehe.

Life of Pi

I recently watched a movie alone (again, for the 2nd time) because I was having a really bad mood at home and wanted to go out. I was supposed to watch it with a friend (actually I invited him impromptu) but he was stuck in the office so I just went on by myself.

Despite being alone, I managed to enjoy the movie.. hehe. In fact, I went home having a better mood. The visual effects of the movie just left me speechless I regretted not having to watch it on 3D. Ang Lee is definitely one of the best in terms of shooting fantastic nature landscapes and sceneries in his movies. I also bought the book earlier. Lol. I haven't read a full novel for a very, very long time and I was glad that after reading two chapters of "Life of Pi", I find that it's an easy read. Hopefully I get to write a review after reading the novel.

Royal Jelly and its Benefits

I've been taking Honeyworld Royal Jelly + Collagen since September which I bought way back 2010 in Singapore hoping it would treat my menstrual cramps and improve my skin. I stopped using this 3 years back after a few capsules because I was hypersensitive back then and had allergies upon taking it. Luckily, I tried it again last September and it didn't cause me allergies this time around. I thought of taking them since it will expire by March 2013 and it was a very expensive bottle (@around Sgd 200); at least half of it would not go to waste.

Actually, Royal Jelly is used by women who wants to get pregnant, lol. I thought it could cure some of my hormonal issues, too. True enough, my menstrual cycles were surprisingly regular, exactly 28 days for three months since I've been taking this medicine daily. I've always complained how irregular my periods were, so I thought it was interesting. I would recommend it for couples who want to get pregnant, haha! As for me, I'm not really sure if the cost of this medicine is worth it, plus I have to ask my sister to ship the product from Singapore if I wanted to continue taking it. I'm also not too keen about being medicine-dependent to regulate my hormones. Maybe I'll just do more exercise or continue taking if I complain about my hormones again.
