Keeping It Cool

This morning, I was feeling a bit tired and exhausted than the usual. I dragged myself to work with eyes a few more tons heavier. I fought hard to keep myself awake while walking to the office. I think there were even moments when I was walking like drunk. My tummy might give out that idea that I love drinking but the thing is that I don't drink.

Because I was so feeling worn out and off today, I was easily agitated and pissed off. My co-workers can attest to that-- specially those I lost my temper at. It wasn't something I am proud of but I would like to believe that I really never meant to be a pain in butt to others today.

Waking up on the wrong side of the bed is the most common excuse we blurt out when we don't understand why we feel bitchy. This actually gives us a safe excuse of not being in control of how we deal with things. But if you really give it a thought, it just doesn't make sense.

I know we sometimes don't have any control on how things can stir us to react. But how we react or feel the whole is definetely in our ability to control. We slip once or twice but there should be a moment we attempt to pick ourselves up. If you are off at the start of the day, you still have the rest of the day to make it better. It doesn't have to end as bad-- or worst.

Exercise And Some Fruit Magic

Since Me and my girlfriend started dragging ourselves to the gym, it really has been a constant struggle. I know I've read about the challenges in keeping a habit of getting oneself fit considered as difficult but I never thought it would be this real. Hats off to those who have passed this stage then.

Part of the struggle is in choosing what to eat. Not being healthy and be in that shape we've always wanted always got wrong diet as one of it's nemesis. So choosing what we eat-- means right diet-- is half of the battle. Someone who is trying to stay fit will eventually be mindful of what are written on that "Nutritional Facts" box. Good thing about this is you get to buy less and spend less.

But enjoying what you eat or drink can still be yummy yet healthy. You don't have to suffer eating healthy-yet-taste-like-paper food. It makes habit forming easier if you are enjoying what you are doing-- or eating in this case.

Good thing I found this fruit stand in SM Southmall where one can find many selections of fruit shakes that promotes wellness and health in every glass. Fruit Magic offers customers one of the best-tasting and freshest fruit extracts and nectars. Every fruit concoction of shakes and smoothies will surely find itself on top of the list of health-conscious customers.This will definitely be the best alternative to the popular carbonated drinks; which really makes it hard to stay fit.

I now have a juicy reward for every session I spend in the gym loosing those stubborn and unwanted calories. I always look forward to Fruit Magic's Nutty Oaty Shake. A glass takes away the "sorry" feeling and still stay fit. And did I mention it's affordable?

Don't take my word for it. Go to your nearest Fruit Magic stand and try them out. You can thank me later.

Love Is Now

Today in the office, we were asked to wear something red. Since it's Valentines Day, the people at the office got this very 'unique' idea of seeing agents in red. Some complied and wore red tees, red caps, red socks, and even red undies (now how did I ever get to know this?). So red was all over the place and it was kinda crazy to see a lot of the said color in one day.

So I wore my red collared-shirt to work. I am not a fan of the idea but what the heck, right? Perhaps I just didn't want to be one of those people who tried to kill the fun in this circumstance. I thought, well, the people who thought of this were putting their best red clothes on so it won't hurt if I blend in, right? And besides, they prepared freebies and prices for those who came to work and join the 'fun'.

Everyone got some chocolates and flowers. But some were just happy to be there, me included.

Valentines Day has always been spoke of as the "Love" day. It's a day people get to find the chance show the people around them how they really mean to them. At least, this early part of the year you get to let the significant people in your life feel how much you love them. Showing love can also mean showing gratitude to someone who made you whole or complete. Or it is also in the mere 'thank you' that the other person will know that he has done something worth appreciating.

Although love is a choice that one commits to without expecting something in return, I know each of us will agree that it feels nicer when love is reciprocated. When you are in the receiving end of loving, you see things in a different perspective. The feeling of being loved back can make you feel invincible. You feel inspired and motivated to do great things without fear of failure. You would feel like 'the king of the world' when you are loved.

Just like The Joker-- Batman's arch-nemesis--, Love puts a smile on your face. In a positive way, of course.

So grab this chance to let your loved ones, family, and friends to know how they mean to you. Whether through giving flowers or chocolates; sending 'thank you' cards or saying it yourself; Or even just by wearing red when you're with them, just show your love. The most important thing is you do it now.

Never postpone love. Believe me, you don't want to regret not doing so.

What Are The (Second) Chances?

Just few days ago my relationship was rocked hard that almost reached its apocalypse. It really scared the wits out of me. And the situation really caught me off guard which is regretfully one of the reasons why I got into this mess. Fortunately, I was able to convince her to give it another shot...thank God!

Life is not always like that. Sad as it may seem but it doesn't always give us another chance to change things. We can't always bank on the idea that there will always be a 'next time'. And even if there will be a next time, that won't even guarantee a better outcome than the last time.

So how do we deal about it? Well, one thing I can think of right now is to do things according to its value to you. If something is that important to you, may it be a job or a task for someone, give it efforts it deserve. We should never give less value to things/people that means so much to us.

Probably you can suggest more on how not have regrets. I know there are still a lot but I want to hear from you too.

Any other suggestions?
