Fit and Well with Fit n' Right program

though it's Christmas season and a lot of parties and food come along the way, i have been thinking to getting in shape.

my lifestyle has included big feasts, relaxations that only show results on the outside. but what about the inside? there might be a lot of toxins inside of my thin body and i really wanted to gain weight with those nice calves, biceps and shoulders. i also try to get a balanced diet. i really love food.

besides, i don't have really much time for workout. my everyday routine just includes home and office just sitting and slaving in front of a monitor or TV. munching on my favorite snack and having a sip of juice or water.

then i realized that i have been storing a lot of energy inside my body that are never used. instead they transform to being the most hated part of anyone's body: the belly.

i hate my belly, it's not so big yet but i already want to get rid of it. i have tried weight-management products and none of them really worked. and signing up to the gym has costed me much. i also tried workout videos but my passion and efforts to have that rock hard abs doesn't seem to be successful. my number one enemy, idleness. honestly, when i started to sweat, i stop. seldom comes to my mind when i wanted to jog, do push-ups, crunches or even lifts. never tried to measure to see any accomplishments.

but experts say that that kind of exercising isn't enough. you need to assist it with proper food intake and also aiding it with Del Monte Fit n' Right. last October 23 at Taste Asia in SM Mall of Asia, a special bloggers event was hosted by Del Monte Fit n' Right in partnership with Fitness First to inform us about the benefits of working out and drinking Fit n' Right.

Fit n' Right contains L-Carnitine that helps in washing away bad cholesterol in the body. with a tired body from working out, you can enjoy the refreshing flavors of Fit n' Right:

and going back to the bloggers event, PBA Coach Jim Saret has shared easy-to-do exercises without leaving home. and i tell you, it concentrates on the body parts that will make you really feel sexy. push-ups, pull-ups, lunges, jogs in place with resistance -- all to be done 10 reps everyday to achieve better shape.

and in culmination of the Dare to Be Fit program of Fit n' Right, for all of you health and fun buffs, there will be a fun run scheduled on November 22 in SM Mall of Asia. of course sponsored by Del Monte Fit n' Right. see the attached picture below for details:

let's run for Pasig River!

being an environment lover myself, i really haven't done any, honestly, for the planet. i have been a contributor to the smoke emissions by riding the PUVs, haven't been a responsible citizen by throwing small pieces of trash anywhere. but then, with the effects of global warming and other calamities done by nature, i have now myself been aware of the consequences of not being concerned to mother nature. i have witnessed firsthand the effects on Ondoy and now i'm scared of any storm that may come to our nation.

but then again, there are big efforts to continue our fight towards a better environment and it focuses on a very prominent Manila natural landmark, the Pasig River. the Pasig River has been declared dead by people after it has been a big garbage dump of course, caused by man. and during the administration of Fidel V. Ramos, the first lady, Ming Ramos has developed the Piso Para sa Pasig program aimed to restore the wonder that has been, Pasig River. and the efforts continue to restore the river for use of future generations.

on Sunday, November 8 2009, a run-for-a-cause has been developed aiming to protect the Pasig River. not only will it help the Pasig River, you can have a cardio exercise and having fun.

we hope that a lot will participate to restore give life again to the river. so that marine life will return, everybody can again breath the fresh air of Pasig River.

this is a fund-raising project so if you want to take part with it, click on the Facebook event page of Pasig River Marathon.

there are discussions over the web on how we can take part other than this marathon. a person once asked: What can college students do to help Pasig River? i commented that everybody can join and participate with the programs regarding saving protecting the Pasig River. but a very simple act like not throwing wastes on the river would be a great help.

we are crying out loud. Save the Pasig River, sign up and run!

Ohmski day at the slums

i had the chance to experience and take some views in life of the people from the slums. when i was called by campaigns pr and asked if i want to take part in this activity, i wasn't hesitant to join and i was even excited to see the situation. the scene that i see in the movies, came to reality. i never felt scared nor even off-guard for i gained trust these people. but generally, i felt pity for them.

we have travelled the area of Navotas and found the poorest of the poor. the people which are dwelling under the bridge and even the tunnel. unimaginable it may seem, but we still have people living in that situation.

we first went to the people under the bridge. around 70 families live in a community made out of wooden planks and boards. they have electricity in which we don't know how they are supplied and clean water was taken from a deep well source nearby. but unfortunately, they have no land title and garbage swims underneath their houses. maybe if you would try to walk on it, you can. since they are living under the bridge, you can feel the tremors from the vehicles travelling above them.

first we interviewed Nanay Inday Nolla, we learned that they have been staying there for almost a decade. poverty has made them to put themselves into that situation and sometimes they cant do anything to get out. they endure and they have been used to it. their survival has been dependent on little income or sometimes none. little by little, they manage to send one or sometimes two of their children to school. if the circumstances have been to tight, they put themselves to sleep as if nothing happened.

they complain on government. they have been tired of being utilized in rallies, being the last priority and always having the last few pieces of relief. their rights have been taken off from them but they are used to take the opposition's stands. but what can they do? they can only see it as extra income for survival. they don't experience special occasions, holidays or anything festive because most of the times, they live or spent a day for a budget less than a dollar. for most who live the privileged life, it doesn't cost a thing. but that amount has to feed a family with a minimum of 5 children on the average. sometimes there's the extended family.

and that's what we saw also from the family living inside a tunnel. enduring the cold nights in concrete walls, most of the time living with roaches and rats. without clean water, neither clothes. sadly, sickness has stricken one of Mang Jo's kids. we have learn from the father of the family that there should have been 6 kids but one died because of diarrhea. and Mang Jo only gets his income from collecting and selling old bottles as he travels around with only a cart. as most of them, just taking the nap to escape from hunger.

despite all this problems, each of their kids has managed to cope up with a normal kid's life. they are able to play, go to school especially Nanay Inday's and Nanay Delma Melado's children. they attend Sunday school which, in a very positive way, learn some gifts from the Bible and cathechism. Totoy for example, Nanay Inday's son, learned to be positive in life with praising the Lord.

this dreadful situation has left me thinking. i have been way too far privileged from these people and i complain big time! i have been able to study, get a decent job, and enjoy other luxury but these people almost had nothing.

we all have to address these problems the right way. personally i want to help them as much as i can. if only those who are more privileged than i am are aware of the situation, please help them put themselves up from poverty with the rights that they have been deprived.

but this doesn't work one way. my advise to these people that there's a way to everything. one thing that i discovered that they almost had livelihood. export quality goods have been made but their enemy is being idle. let's get industrious and you'll be able to reach everything.

for the government, give priority to these people. don't use them for your personal gain. prove us wrong on our impression towards you. keep your promises for everyone. make and implement laws properly.

to monitor all these problems, the United Nations has developed a program with 8 points to consider to address these problems. but on our current state, we only have achieved 4 of it. and we are trying to target 7 of the goals by 2015. in order to achieve these goals, let us start in ourselves by gonging on the government's heads reminding them that we are inside a program that really should be addressed. then our government will be demanded on the special actions and priority towards these problems caused by poverty. i hope that we all take part in this. you don't want to get poor right?
