The one with watching the oath-taking.

Although I didn't watched the oath-taking on television, I decided to watch it on Rappler' live streaming via Facebook. Nagbu-buffer yung live streaming.

Napanood ko yung pagkatapos ng speech ni President Duterte, hanggang sa military honors while having my lunch.

The one being a first timer visitor, and being a first time diner.

Last night was my first visitor at Fisher Mall. Last night was also my first time to eat at Pedro 'N Coi as a diner.

I haven't the chance to roam around the aforementoned shopping due to the fact that my family & I went their to eat and celebrate my father's birthday (although he's currently in the Samar province) at the aforementioned restaurant.

Nakakaliw yung mga pangalan ng mga pagkain sa Pedro 'N Coi. The restaurant has two floors in the third/3rd level of the shopping mall. It has two/2 jeepneys to seat in; small jeepneys for the seasonings; and other items that I forgot that common here in the Philippines. The restaruant has also some Philippine history features.

Some of the food are good for 2 to 5 or 6 persons. And if my memory serves me right, it was design by beauty queen Shamcey Supsup.

The one with alternative learning system and homeschooling and traditional education.

K-12 education is implemented few years ago under the Aquino (A/a)dministration. There are families can't afford for their own reasons, while there are families consider this as a burden for them.

According to the news yesterday that aired at Balitanghali, Incoming Department of Education (DepEd) Secretary (Sec.) Briones is planning to pursue alternative learning system.

To be honest, in my humble opinion, it is ideal for the families mentioned above especially the students who want to continue to pursue their education.



On the other hand. There are parents wants their kids to be homescool(ed), while there parents enrol their children in schools. I'm planning to enrol my kids in schools like progressive schools, montessori schools, or other non-traditional schools.

I found a blog post regarding homeschooling and traditional education.

The one with the new Miss Peregrine trailer.

I first learned about the new trailer from Ransom Riggs' Instagram account.

I ship it!!

A video posted by Ransom Riggs (@ransomriggs) on



And (here is/here's the full length second (2nd) trailer.

The one about mental illness.

Bihira ako makarinig ng balita sa radyo, makabasa sa dyaryo at sa online articles, makapanood sa TV sa mga online videos, ragarding sa mental illness. May post ako sa Facebook at sa Twitter that making or cracking a joke on people with mental illnes ay hindi biro.

Maraming dahilan kung bakit may mental illness ang ibang tao. Maraming causes ang pagkakaroon ng mental illness.

Sa departments ng mga gobyerno ng bawat bansa, may kaya-kanyang roles, tulad ng gobyerno ng Pilipinas. May Department of Health; Depart of Tourism; Department of Education; National Commission for Culture and the Arts; at marami pang iba.

Ganun din ang mental illness, tulad ng schizoperenia, depression, OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder), at marami pang iba.

Maraming sources din sa Internet. I strongly suggest to ask or consult a professional doctor or specialist.

Here are some links I found on the internet.

The one on doing yoga.

I completely have no idea on why and how I want to try doing yoga. I saw video on the YouTube channel of GreenLivingonANC about yoga for kids. Yes, you read it right. Doing yoga for kids.

Here's the video.

The one about bullying.

Many of us who experienced being bullied, while some of us did not experienced it. There are schools are have "No Bullying Policy". While others experience being cyberbullied.

In my case, I experience both in some way.

Here are some insights:

1) On Middle School Misery



2) 2016 Miss Philippines-Earth cries foul

3) Miss Philippines-Earth reveals being a 'victim of pageant bullying'

The one with these workouts from a local cable TV show.

While browing the YouTube page of ABS-CBN News Channel (ANC), I learned this video only this year. The video was uploaded last July 2, 2013, Tuesday. Hindi ko alam kung bakit hindi ko napanood ito sa nasabing channel sa TV, or na-upload ito sa YouTube. Hindi ko alam kung nasaan ako nung ipinalabas ito sa TV, or na-upload ito sa YouTube. Wala din akong makita sa YouTube page ng Green Living regarding exercises.

Ito pala yung video na tinutukoy ko. It has no commercials.



And I found a video that contains the introduction, the workout, and the end credits of the episode.



I found these exercises on the website of Green Living TV.

Turbulence Training

15 Minute Home Workout

The Urban Jungle Workout

10-minute Interval Workout

The one that I'm having a weight problem.

Oo, overweight/obese ako na tao.

Nag-gym ako dait. Way back 2003 or 2004. Kaya lang hindi ko natapos dahil sa pag-a-aral. College student ako ng panahon na ito.

May nakita ako na mga ads ng isang gym that promotes 30 minutes of workout. The ads is located along ADB Avenue near The Podium.

Nahinayang sa akin ang parents ko nung sinabi ko na hindi natapos yung pag-gym ko dati, dahil sa pag-a-aral ko.

Ngayon ako ay overweight/obese ako na tao. Gusto ko ulit mag-gym.

Kaya lang: 1) Siguradong hindi ako papayagan ulit na mag-gym ng magulang ko, dahil hindi ko natapos yung remaining 10 days sa 20 days workoiut ko sa isang gym, na nasa SM North Edsa; at 2) Kahit na gusto ko ulit na mag-gym ulit, gagamit ako ng sarili kong pera, wala naman akong sapat na pera na pangbayad sa pag-enroll, or kahit sa personal trainer.

I used to workout in my room. But for unknown reasons, hindi ko na ulit nagawa yun. I don't remember the workout I did. The workout I did are mga workout na puwedeng gawin sa bahay. Sa iPod touch ko nakuha yung mga workout na ginawa/ginaya ko.

Sa Ortigas ang "trabaho" ko. Sa office na "pinapasukan" ko, may crossfit gym, at ito ay nasa ground floor. Sa tapat ng building na pinapapasukan ko, ay nasa 22nd floor. Yung dalawang gyms, isang yoga studio at isang Pilates studio, ay nasa 4th floor ng The Podium.

Kahit na gusto na masubukan ang mga gyms na ito, hindi ko rin naman magagawa. Kasi, maliit lang naman ang sinusweldo ko, ang tatanggap ko na sweldo.

Yesterday morning, I'm considering to workout in my room. And yesteday morning, I searched some YouTube videos on my iPod touch. I could be wrong, but I think na puwedeng gawin ko ang mga ito. And I don't have some items or equipments featured in the videos. I-modify ko na lang siguro.



















The one about the actor dies at 27 in a car accident.

I first learned about the actor Anton Yelchin while browsing my Facebook account on my iPod touch. I didn't expected that he died in car accident. He is 27.

"What would you correct from your past to save your future?"

I remember that I won a pair of movie tickets way back 2014, when Nuffnang Philippines conducted a movie screening contest of "X-Men: Days of Future Past" I don't remember my blog post. But I remember the idea of that/my blog post.

When I was kid, I have a-bit-higher-than-poor grades; I was bullied by students and teachers; I'm not an intelligent student. When I was a college student, I was also bullied by students and teachers. I already have a "job", I also being bullied by my "co-workers/colleagues". I am also being bullied by my family and relatives.

I also made mistakes since I was a kid/child.

If I am were given the chance to go back to the day I was born until now to change my future, I would.

If my memory serves me right, the question in the movie screening contest by Nuffnang Philippines is this: "What would you correct from your past to save your future?"

In physics there's a scientific law: "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction."

I don't know which part or parts of my past to correct to save my future. To be honest, I'm going to correct, in my humble opinion, most or majority of my past mistakes to be able to have a good future.

First, I'm going to disguise, and then study and help myself. When I'm already contented for what I'd done. I'm going to go back in time, and to know the outcome.

On these videos and "working out".

I don't remember where the video was taken, but it was taken last June 21, 2013 at 11:17 AM.



I don't remember where the video was taken, but it was taken last June 23, 2013 at 5:30 PM.

I first learned about 360 Fitness Club in two ways:

1) when I saw rectangular ads when I was walking along ADB Avenue in the side of The Podium mall
2) when a special education teacher I know follow 360 Fitness Club on Facebook

I want to try their free trial, but for some reason I couldn’t. These reasons are in random order:

1) I don’t have enough money to pay whatever installment I chose
2) I don’t know what my parents think if I wanted to workout there.

I do admit that I don’t know how to persuade my parents to work out at 360 Fitness Club.

This bahay kubo on the road.

During that time, in my mind, saan kaya dadalhin yung bahay kubo.

On mountain hiking, milkshakes, carrot cakes, and liquid nitrogen ice cream.

Pangarap ko na makapag-hike sa mga bundok. Sa isang post ng When In Manila via Facebook regarding sa apat na mountains sa RizalProvince.

And title ng post sa Facebook ay: "Rizal-Hiking Starter Pack: 4 Awesome Mountains to Climb"

-------

Bihira ako uminom ng milkshakes. Pero ng may nabasa ako sa Facebook post ng Spot.ph na "Beat the heat with unlimited milkshakes", gusto kong mag-milkshake.

And I want to try these also.

-------

I do eat ice cream, but I haven't tried liquid nitrogen ice cream. I saw a "Suggested Post" on Facebook regarding liquid nitrogen ice cream.

I do love to try liquid nitrogen ice cream, but for monetary/financial reasons I couldn't.

Here's the article:

This song on Disney Junior.

We have Disney Junior on our television, and lately the aforementioned channel airs, during commercial, the theme "Dream Big, Princess".

At first, on my mind: "Who is the artist?", "What is the name of the song?".

Until one time, I remember that I have an app on my iPod Touch on recognising songs. The song was "Hall of Fame" and the artists are The Script and will.i.am.
