Month: June 2010

  • http://pinkribbonsproject.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/stress.jpg

    i think i picked up a new life skill today. i realized that if you have encountered a specific problem once and have resolved it in the past, then, there's no reason to stress over it. just sorta float through the motions to solve the problem without being mentally attached to it. it probably reduced my stress at work by 25% today.

  • dieting: the salad trap

    i decided to have only salads for dinners. easy to digest and low calories.. i think it's perfect for last meal before sleeping.
    but, there was a trap to this. since it's so healthy, i got tricked into thinking it's ok to have higher volume.
    not the case, even when it's a salad, portion control is very important.
    that's why sometimes i meet some people who are vegetarians but still kinda look obese.
    it's the salad trap. luckily i realized this 2 days into the routine.
    tomorrow should be better.

  • piyo class?

    i took this class today after lifting.. called piyo. half pilates, half yoga. first time i took a class like that.
    kinda awkward bc there was like 50 women, one gay guy and me.. wtf did i get myself into i thought.
    the instructor was hispanic and kinda hot. but, the stuff was very good for flexibility and strength.
    i would take it every week if the guy to girl ratio wasn't so bad.
    maybe i'll just do it like once a month so that i don't bother them too much.
    i liked the ab work out the best and maybe the handstand position. maybe what i didn't like is some
    of the moves were too smooth and feminine. there was some stuff i just skipped over refusing to do.

    yea i was like this guy in the pic in the very back of the class. lol
    i had to fight checking out girls *sses and reminded myself it was for
    training not that type of thing.

  • iphone 200meg plan for 15/mo at at&t starting june 7th.

    June 2 (Bloomberg) -- AT&T Inc., the largest U.S. phone company, is offering new wireless data plans as it struggles to meet surging demand for data-hungry devices like Apple Inc.’s iPhone on its network.

    AT&T will offer a basic 200-megabyte plan for $15 a month, and a 2-gigabyte package at $25 that includes 10 times as much data, the Dallas-based company said in a statement today. The 2- gigabyte plan replaces an existing $29.99 plan for iPad customers, which has no limit on data usage.
