Better Noelee this Year

This year, I have decided to make a deal with myself. I intend to lose the extra pounds off before the end of summer. Through the years of working in the BPO industry again I have managed to gain a hefty 30lbs without me realizing it.
After thoroughly scrutinizing my daily habits, I was able to identify the reason why I arrived at this undesirable body weight.

Abnormal sleeping pattern
Sedentary lifestyle
Increased appetite (Food became my source of joy. so pathetic. lol)

Since I made a declaration in my facebook account that I intend to remove this extra weight (thank you to the 103 Likers, it really meant a lot), I am more determined than ever.

This time, I have a clear goal in mind and a systematized plan in place. I have carefully thought of all the things that have happened in the past and arrived at these

Controlled amount of better food choices (No amount of food over my fist size and steer clear to all the C's no matter how much I love them) C=Chocolate, Cookie, Cake, Cola, Cheese (I must be strong. lol)
Do not drink your calories (Anything added to water means additional calories to burn)
Commit to working out 4x weekly with 1 dance class or swimming session per week. (Excuses are for the weak)
Always motivate thyself. (Find happiness daily instead of resorting to eating

So I am looking forward to going back to this post on May30th to tell myself that I've made it. By then, I will make another post to show my success. I am claiming it!

Adrenaline High in the Sky: Eden Nature Park and Resort

Eden Nature Park Bo. Eden, Toril, Davao City, Davao Del Sur It is my second attempt to visit Eden Nature Park because when I first tried last December, some wealthy family in Davao had it closed during the days I was there. (It's ok, I got over it.) My friend Zeli who is from Davao planned our itinerary and I'm so glad she included this. She said that it is one of her favorite places in the city. In fact, her family booked to stay there for the night because she will come home. They know her so well. Photo from Eden Nature Park and Resort's website It is a an hour drive from Ma-a, where we were staying but with all the chitchats (Yes, it is a known fact that girls can talk for hours), we didn't even notice it. The place reminds me of Baguio because it's cold and they have a lot of pine trees. There is a mandatory entrance fee but it's ok because it comes with food already. You can choose between a plated snack (choice between Tuna Melt or Spaghe...

Disappointments and Realizations on Rayquaza Raids

I wasn't really supposed to blog but I was just really disappointed. I am a returning player (just came back June 20) and I am really enjoying the game since there are so many things happening to Pokèmon Go now. (To those who are thinking of going back, please download it now!) There are tasks, I can now trade mons and there are so many spawns compared to before where all we can get is Pidgey. These are the improvents that I was looking for when I left years ago. However, there's this one part of the game that makes me so upset everytime. T5 Raids!!! Just like today. It is the last time for me to try and catch another Rayquaza but since there is no player nearby, I am left to accept that I won't be able to. 🙁 Since I came back, I was only able to win Legendary Raid thrice. First one is in BGC during lunch, next is in Singapore with a friend (so much more fun playing the game there btw) and last is one afternoon where I happen to come across an egg ha...

I thanked God for you because it took so long before He gave me you. Little did I know how short our forever could be. I spoke proudly of your strength, both physical and emotional, and after years of standing on my own, I finally allowed myself to rely on someone else. You were my safe place, my proof that independence did not mean being alone. We were only given three years and 9 months together, 1397 days to be exact. Just ten percent of your life overlapped with mine, yet it felt complete. Our time was right. We were a match. We laughed every day, and even our disagreements reflected the depth of our love. What we had was real, imperfect, and full—and that is what makes the loss unbearable. There were faults in you as a partner, but as a father, you were everything. Now our child will grow up without you, carrying a love he will never fully remember, and a loss he will always feel. In this, my heart returns to the same question again and again—not out of anger, but out of...
