On Excuses & Resolutions: Online Fitness and HCG Diet
I know I’ve mentioned in my past blog post in August that I’ll go on a reboot and post more often. Heck, I promised to post as often as I used to back when I have started this blog early 2000’s.

Today, I just really wanted to accept that things are the way they are and I have to evaluate my priorities. I used to … [Read more...]

A Dreamer: Pursuing Education
Remembering conversations with the first boss I had when I migrated in the U.S. in 2007. He narrated how he claimed his dreams, on becoming the General Manager of the BEST resort in the world.

FLY Project: Recuperating, re-introducing and reduction.
On my Fifth week. The days were filled with catching up on school load – an exchange of thoughts online, spending more time with my eBook reader and not having to log mileage as I was trying to recuperate from a bad flu.

Instead, I resorted on having a … [Read more...]

FLY PROJECT: On Sleep and Caffein Punch.
I have a confession to make, I haven’t been sleeping according to schedule. Crawling to bed was the easiest part however snoozing my way to dreamland is a different story. No, I don’t think it’s the sandman’s fault nor the flock of sheep; it’s probably been the adjustment of my work-at-home schedule. Truthful to my capabilities, compartmentalizing and zooming in to what matters. I left the employment world once again … [Read more...]

PCOS and Me.
I haven’t blogged for months (or has it been a year?) and it’s about due time for me to get my active lifestyle documented to keep me going and even more accountable. When I started this blog back in the early 2000’s, it was measly just a blog to express how far I’ve run around the Butte of Jackson Hole, Wyoming and to entertain myself from living alone abroad without any family nearby and only just sports to keep my … [Read more...]
Laruga in Manila 2016: Your Downward Dog
Being new in practice (If you’re a yogi practicing at least 5 years) there are so much fundamentals for a yogi to learn and we tend to forget to be mindful of our asanas.

It was a perfect opportunity to expand our awareness inside the poses we may have found most challenging in our practice. I must say, my entire arm felt the sore.

Baked Chile Rellenos with Hatch Green Chile Enchilada Sauce
We are chile rellenos lovers in this house. What's not to like, spicy peppers filled with cheese, deep fried with a crisp shell and delicious sauce on top. In college, JJ and I would go to a Mexican restaurant almost every Sunday and get them. We also both gained the freshman 15 each year, it seemed! A few weeks ago we went to dinner at The Green Chile in Boise (which was delicious, and highly recommended) and JJ ordered a combo that included … [Read more...]
