Physical Health
I started making plans for my body last Monday, which was also a holiday commemorating the first EDSA Revolution. What a day to start something new.I want to improve myself and I have to do it the holistic way. I have three main objectives in this exercise plan I made:
1. Strengthen cardiopulmonary system
2. Build muscles and gain weight
3. Maintain a good level of endorphin in my body
I may just be writing some of my physical goals here, but I also have goals for my mental, emotional, spiritual and social health.
My heart and lungs were not as strong as they were before. My heart had also gone through an emotional stress during the past months. As for lungs, they were getting weak. So I decided to focus on cardiopulmonary exercise. Simple brisk walks and jogging will do. I have just started.
It has been my dilemma, for months, how to gain weight. No matter how much I eat, it's not enough. So I thought that there must be something missing. I eat a lot of CHO but I consume them easily so I wonder what if I focus on increased CHON consumption in my diet. But of course, I did not dismiss the importance of building muscles. I thought if I build muscles I might increase my body density, increasing body mass.
A lot of people think of ways how to lose weight. I do otherwise. I only weigh a hundred pounds and my height is 158 cm. That gives me a BMI of 18.2, which is categorized as underweight. O_O 0.3 more and I'll be in normal range. That's enough for me.
A lot say it's okay as long as I stay healthy. Yeah, yeah. Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. I no longer get easily sick lately, unlike last year. But I know that I am going to go through a demanding job. I need to stay physically and mentally fit in order to provide the necessary care for my patients-to-be. Of course, I also have to stay emotionally healthy or stable.
I've been also making it a goal to donate blood. The only hindrance is my weight. This goal is personal and altruistic. Personal because when time will come that I'll be in need of blood, I want to have BT from my own. As much as possible, I don't want to look for other people for this need. The risks of blood transfusion are just grave.
I also need to maintain a good level of endorphin in my body. This way, I can fight stress without being stressed. I actually made it a goal to stay as happy as I can. I want to be happy and stay one. I like to smile and laugh. I like to appreciate little things around me. I don't want to be so complicated when it comes to happiness. Besides, it's healthy to be happy.

Literal Young Friends
I had fun talking with my boys, I mean my students in SS, today. I got to know them more so I don't see them as just SS pupils. As their teacher, it is important for me. I get to know what I should ask to the Father. I get to know how to deal with them. And I was able to have new friends. It's just so nice.Speaking of friends, when I was in my high school days I used to have friends who were older than me. But when I got into college, most of my friends are younger than me. And as years pass by, they are getting younger. XD

Juno
I am watching Juno right now and I am actually adopting the way she speaks. I'm not trying; it's just that I can do that 'style' or whatever you may call it. But I'm not here to post on what Juno and me have in common with regrds to speech. That's a waste of time, man.The movie, which I haven't finished, drives me nuts whenever Juno goes to Mark and Vanessa's house especially when Vanessa's out. Man, Mark is married. That's scary. You may not understand this "scary" thing I am talking about, but it's still inappropriate. Like what Brenda said, there are boundaries. You can't just visit a married man who is alone in his house. Unless you're the husband's mother or sister or cousin, yeah sure. Go and visit him.
I just logged in to state that. And because I feel like talking, but I have no one to talk to. My phone is inside the room and I am unloaded. I don't feel like talking to the usual people. I want to try something new. I want to go out and experience something I have not before. Wou, this is getting nowhere. I have to log out now.
By the way, I have to get out tonight because.. Well I did mess up. I need not to write every detail.

Quoting Cameron
Sex could kill you. Do you know what the human body goes through when you have sex? Pupils dilate, arteries constrict, core temperature rises, heart races, blood pressure skyrockets, respiration becomes rapid and shallow, the brain fires bursts of electrical impulses from nowhere to nowhere, and secretions spit out of every gland, and the muscles tense and spasm like you're lifting three times your body weight. It's violent, it's ugly and it's messy, and if God hadn't made it unbelievably fun, the human race would have died out eons ago.
Men are lucky they can only have one orgasm. Do you know that women can have an hour long orgasm?

Keep Distance
My previous journal entry seemed bitter. I just wanted space. I just wanted to be alone. I needed time to cope. I needed time to think. But I still wish the same. XD
I am leaving everything to God. Philippians 4:6-7. ^__^

Wishin' goodbyes are forever.
Please
Stay away.
Don't get near me.
Do not talk to me.
Don't remind me that you're my friend.
Please don't let your presence be made known.
