Siege Malvar loves V-neck shirts

I love v-neck shirts. Especially these ones that i get from Zara. If anyone out there's thinking of getting me anything, you'll never go wrong with a v-neck.

Happy birthday, mom!

We celebrated our mom's birthday by having dinner out. Then, we saw this cake which looks like the cake she wanted, so we got that for her.

Dinner with Kat and Robbie

I had dinner with my friends Katleya Quijano and Robbie Arciga at Avenetto in Trinoma a few weeks ago.

The three of us started working in EXCITE on the same day. We all bonded together over stressful nights and even more stressful days.

Ours is a camaraderie born of surviving heavy ordeals together, sort of like plane crash survivors reaching out to each other once on dry land.

I love these two.

How to Eat at a Buffet

My friend Armand and I went to Mr. Miyagi along Timog after jogging for a couple of hours around the UP oval. I'm no expert on fitness and nutrition, but here's my strategy in attacking the buffet table when you're on a fitness program.

Go for the Grill.  I avoided the cooked dishes and went for the raw stuff that we had to grill ourselves on the table. For one thing, the grilled choices has less MSG. Also, grilling food is healthier in terms of cholesterol level.

Protein Load. I selected meats and seafood for their protein content; I avoided  all the carbs: the rice and the noodles. Well, I had some rice, but only because I couldn't resist the sushi bar. Speaking of: another GREAT source of protein is the sushi bar! I think I must have eaten half a salmon raw that night. It's like feasting on someone's open wounds, but yeah, the protein is amazing.

Pace Yourself. Like in running, you need to pace yourself at the buffet table. It takes the brain 20 minutes to recognize that you are full. This means that you can eat-MORE-than-you-actually-can within a window of 20 minutes, and after that, your brain sends signals to your digestive system to stop the traffic. If you pace yourself at the table, you avoid the risk of overeating.

Water's best. Do not get soda or juice. This should be a general rule every meal time. Sodas are poison. They're basically liquified sugar melted in acid. Think of that the next time you put a glassful inside your body. You're filling up on liquified sugar melted in acid, which your body will absorb and mix in with your blood.



Well, those are some of my strategies in attacking the buffet table when you're on a fitness program. If you want to share yours, leave them in the comments section.

Shave what?

I'm trying this new look on me. I kinda think i'm rocking the 'stache, but the high school male volleyball team that i'm stalking is kinda creeped out by it.

Also, a caterpillar from Chickboy tried to mate with it.

Dare To Do More with BlackBerry Messenger

Also, Kiefer Ravena and Solenn Heussaff were there.
