62nd Annual Grammy Awards nominees

I first learned about the nominees for next year’s 62nd Annual Grammy Awards, is last night when I saw an article on the Facebook fan page of The Huffington Post.

The first (1st) two (2) links are articles from The Huffington Post. The third (3rd) link is an article from The Washington Post.

2020 Grammys Nominations: Lizzo, Billie Eilish, Lil Nas X Rule

Lizzo Nabs Most 2020 Grammy Nominations Of Any Artist

Grammy nominations 2020: Lizzo leads with 8 nods, followed by Billie Eilish and Lil Nas X

And also, I saw an article on the Facebook fan page of CNN Philippines, about the BTS supporters are upset when the famous/popular Korean boy band isn’t nominated a single nomination.

Former US First Lady Michelle Obama received a nomination, for the category, Best Spoken Word Album, for her work on the audiobook of her memoir "Becoming”. If she won, this would be Obama's first Grammy but her household's third.

Her husband, Former US President Barack Obama, won twice in 2006, and in 2008, for the audio recordings of his books, "Dreams of My Father" and "The Audacity of Hope", respectively.

Here's (Here is) the link for the Wikipedia page.

Here is the link in the Grammy website.

And here's the video, of the announcement:

This delivery commercial from McDonald's Philippines.

In the commercial/video, the delivery men are appreciated.

Me, ever since. I never got appreciated.

I’m a thoughtful person, but, I never got appreciated.

I’m a thoughtful, but, other people abuse my appreciation.

GCash and GSave.

I could be wrong but GCash is open to all subscribers.

Last Sunday afternoon, I opened a savings account on GSave via the GCash app. GCash has a partnership with CIMB Bank Philippines. I'm not sure if this feature is available on basic users. I am not sure if this feature is available to semi-verified users. This feature is available on fully verified users.

If you have money on GCash, you can transfer or save money on GSave via the save money on the home screen. For more information, click here.

Last Sunday afternoon, I opened a savings account on GSave via the GCash app. One of the branches of Ministop in Ortigas has machine that cashing in of Philippine Peso bills between GCash and PayMaya. I chose GCash, and cash-in 100 pesos last Tuesday.

Why I cash-in of 100 pesos? GCash has a promo when you save money via GSave, at least 100 PhP, you will receive 100 pesos after three/3 days.

In my case, I deposited via GSave yesterday the 100 pesos last Tuesday, so I will received an additional P100 by Saturday, October 26. It will credited to my account "fourteen (14) business days after completion of the required activity."

MetroDeal and Gold's Gym Philippines

I do admit that I am between overweight and obese. I used to workout in the SM North Edsa branch of Slimmers World, way back 2003 or 2004, when I was still in college.

I also used to workout in the gym in the office where I work. For one year and until mid-March of this year. With two/2 of of my co-workers, with the trainer of one of my bosses.

I have blog posts on Anytime Fitness, Fitness First, Gold's Gym, Slimmers World, and 360 Fitness Club.

I have this app called MetroDeal. And I am (I'm) browsing the recently, for which of the five (5) aforementioned gyms/fitness centers are available, in the app. Gold's Gym is fitness center/gym available.

In the app, I chose their Vertis North branch. I don't know what happened on their Waltermart Muñoz*. And it is the nearest to my location here in Valenzuela City.

Last Friday afternoon, kumuha ako ng two-month memebership sa Vertis North branch ng Gold's Gym. And I paid it on the LBC branch na pinupuntahan ko via DragonPay. I received 2 (two) emails that the payment is successful, one from DragonPay, and 1 from MetroDeal.

I'm planning to start my membership by December 1.

On my day, on the 5th (fifth) and last day, of 40th Manila International Book Fair

The last time I was in SMX convention Center, was lastMarch 31, of this year. On the last of Franchise Asia Philippines 2019.

My parents dropped me off, in one (1) bus station in Guadalupe, Makati. Because they have delivery to one mall in Sucat, Parañaque. I took a bus going to SM Mall of Asia. The station of buses is near the Mall of Asia Globe.

There is an escalator near bus station.

The price for entrance fee for adults is 35 Philippine pesos (PhP), while 20 pesos for students, teachers, librarians, educators, etc. I (just) don't know the entrance fee for senior citizens, PWDs (persons with disabilities), and pregnant women. The last time I attend the aforementioned boof fair, was last 2016.

Nag-ikot-ikot lang ako. Wala akong biniling libro, dahil, wala akong sapat na pera. At hindi ko naisip na mag-ipon ng pera. At ko naisip na gumawa ng listahan/shopping list.

On recording sleep early and late.


I don't know why my Atmost Fit Elite record my sleeping time last Monday evening was as early as 18:02 PM (6:02 PM), despite the fact that I went to sleep around 10 PM.

And recorded my sleeping time until 5:25 AM, despite the fact that  I woke up at 5 AM. And that I don't remember bringing it to the bathroom.


I went to my bed last night around 10 PM.
I don't know why my Atmos Fit Elite recorded my sleeping time at 1:05 AM this morning.

On sleeping, waking up, and doing something.

Last Sunday evening, I went to bed and sleep. Around few minutes past 9 PM that I went to my bed and sleep.

I woke up around 1 AM. In the image below, the "record" of my sleep started at 1:43 AM until and ended at 7:58 AM, as seen below.

I don't know why my Atmos Fit Elite didn't "record" my sleep between 9 PM and 1 AM.

Before 1:43 AM, kumain ako ng popcorn as my midnight snack.


I don't remember what I slept last night. But my Atmos Fit Elite did "record" of my sleep from 12:25 AM, until 7:53 AM today.

On the golden buzzer.

I never watched an entire season of America's Got Talent, nor watched a single episode. But the following audition wowed me.

Not because he has autism, or nor he is visually challenged. Because of he was able to sing and perform the piano beyond his disabilities.

Music Video: Louis Tomlinson - Two of Us

First of all, I am not a fan of One Direction, nor a fan any of the members of the group.

I have to admit, that I like the song "Two of Us" by Louis Tomlinson.
