Daily Happy Thoughts

Recently, Tony (in addition to Borski) has made the observation that my beer belly was already increasing in size. This was also evident during my recent thorough medical evaluation in which I was told to try and reach my toes, and in my most serious attempt, I discovered that I couldn’t (sigh) reach my toes, owing to my already bulging stomach (sob…). This was the first time that this happened to me. I mean I did gain weight before, but not to the extent that I couldn’t reach my toes.

And now for the nth time, I have once again vowed to exercise more, and cut back on my food intake. So far, today, I have been successful. I don’t know however, if at dinner I will be as successful. I hope so. Or the alternative would be to get my hand on the best weight loss pills out there.

Recently, on the recommendation of the doctor who assessed me during a thorough medical exam, I decided to have the warts on my neck removed. All in all, I think I had about 8-10 of those removed, including 2 really humongous ones. :) Borski has been reminding me and egging me on to do something about those since it was only basic hygiene to take care of one’s own skin, which includes, in my case, having my warts removed.

I guess in a way, the title of this post would somehow be in contradiction since, in all practicality, if it were due to hygienic considerations, then I guess you couldn’t call it vanity, right? LoL. Just playing with words here. And now that both Borski and I have crossed the big three-oh, we must be more selective of the food we eat, since especially I am gaining more weight. Also, I think it wouldn’t hurt to look up and compare anti aging products on the market already, or is it too early for that yet?

Weight loss is first and foremost. Vanity can come, when I can already afford it. LoL.

It is a weekend once again. I have a lot of deadlines to beat (as usual). But one thing better about today than any other day while I am here at our head office, is the fact that I get to play badminton today. Yey!

I am a self -confessed Manny Pacquiao fan, and a die-hard one at that. It figures, right? After all, I am a Filipino. Aside from that though, I do believe that there is more to my rooting for him than just my being a fellow countryman of his. I, together with many others, believe that Manny embodies the many traits that has allowed him to carry on being Boxing’s new poster boy. His exciting style of fighting has earned him a following of fans from all over the world.

Just this afternoon, I watched a downloaded clip of Mayweather’s bout with Ricky Hatton in 2007. In contrast with Pacquiao’s brand of play, I do think that Pretty Boy Floyd’s style is somewhat boring at times, although one would have to acknowledge the superb defense that he possesses. Unlike Pacman who throws countless combinations, he pot shots and then ties up his opponents, making for perfect recipe for a boring fight, plus he runs and runs and runs. I came across this article by Marv Dumon, wherein he enumerates the things Manny has to do to beat Floyd.

One pic he had on there surely amused me. I do hope Manny doesn’t have to resort to this in order to make Floyd fight him toe to toe. LoL.

With the emergence of numerous dieting pills in the market today, one can’t help but be confused among which of these are the most effective, not to mention the safest ones available. After all, what good would be an effective diet pill if it weren’t at all safe, right? I myself think I am in need of such diet pill as I am taking forever to shed pounds. LoL. If you ask me, I blame it on the very hectic schedule we have at work, the 12-hour shifts, making it virtually impossible for me to sweat it out while I am on site. This is precisely the reason why, everytime I get a chance to go home, I try to play badminton every day. So far, so good. I have been home since last Saturday, and I have played since Sunday (Saturday was for Valentines..hehe) and I intend to play until I leave for my next assignment on Saturday.

In choosing the right diet pills, I think one should consider a lot of factors, some of which would have to include:

• safety of ingredients
• weight-loss potential
• consumer testimonials
• appetite suppression, and lastly
• money-back guarantee

Well, I put safety at the very top, it being the first and foremost consideration. I do hope I lose some pounds soon, as I am approaching the big three zero..hehe..if you know what I mean.

Today marks the beginning of our second year of sharing with you our thoughts on just about anything and everything under the sun  (dance).

Persistence is the key!

I never thought dailyhappythoughts would survive in a year. More often than not, there were instances where the posts were hard to come by. ICU days (sigh).  Fortunately, as might be expected, new experiences and motivations from “my person” who always prods me to write at least one post in a day bring me back into blogging existence. That, coupled with the unconscious desire to have a medium to express one’s self, brought us to day 1 of 2009!

The official confirmation of our successful hosting renewal was received thru SMS at exactly 4 minutes past 2 o’clock in the afternoon of this day, the deadline. Indeed, ours was a photo finish renewal!  Something good came out of it because we transferred funds in excess of $10.78.  Sweet!   The extra would have to go to a simple get-together family dinner for DadMa, Kuya Ace and Lyn, Kuya Jun and Ate Tere; and CT’s french fries!

Ian and I would like to thank Kuya Jun for assisting us in renewing our hosting account. Thanks, Ya!

Now in my case what might that be? LoL.

To spare you from stressing your brain cells, haha! That would be my inability to keep my weight down. I guess I am too much of a muncher to ever get results from my exercise regimen (as if I had one..lol). When I am on the job, I rarely have time to sweat it out as I am on 12-hour shifts. So you couldn’t blame me for being such a sucker for my nap time.

How I wish I could then get my hands on an alli diet pill. I read up somewhere that it works wonders. I wonder if it’d work for me. LoL.

Buzz is going around in the cosmetic surgery community of the Philippines after an American named Louem Martinez aka. Louem Boschuk filed a criminal complaint against popular cosmetic surgeons in the country.

The complainant filed this complaint asking for PhP 26 million against Doctors Manny V. Calayan and Pie Calayan due to a penile enlargement operation gone wrong. This operation was said to have cost around PhP 145,000 (roughly $3,450). Martinez claimed that after the operation his penis became “badly deformed, sagged and bumped,” and that he was feeling pain. Despite assurances by both doctors that the pain will go away, still the pain persisted and the appearance of his penis did not change.

Hearing of this news, I just think that the complainant would have been better off researching first on the other alternative ways to get a penile enlargement. For one, there are products such as maxoderm.

On the internet, he could have easily researched on maxoderm review to be more informed as to what the best course of action would be. If he had, he might have discovered that there are already maxoderm pills, which is a far cry from the physical risk he undertook on the surgical procedure that went wrong.

If you ask me, I think it can be likened to jumping without looking. Too bad it didn’t work out for Mr. Martinez as planned.
