calories and what it means to me

i didn't really understand calories until i started realizing i've been gobbling up too much of it. and  they are all spread out in all the wrong places in my body. i looked at myself in the mirror a month ago and started to see myself differently and that's when it hit me. i need a change.

i am an app addict to start with so my calorie rave came accidentally when i was in one of my app-crazy mode where i scan all free apps available for my phone and download anything that catches my attention. so i came by this calorie app that says i could lose weight by taking control of my calorie intake and this app should help me do just that. i honestly downloaded it out of curiosity. because i am a very curious person. :D and then i started following directions from it and i see now that it is actually working. so i am now very surprised at myself at how i watch what i eat when i normally don't. i eat anything that looks good. i don't wanna sound like a health nut and all coz i do have a serving of my daily alcohol a day, five days a week(coz it's free) and i do have my occasional cigarette(and i mean occasional (; ) but knowing about calories did help me. i lost a bit of wait and am starting to do some workouts and i usually don't care about all that s***.

i don't mean to preach but i gez it is good to share once in a while. maybe what has been good for me might be good for whoever is reading this right now too. all i'm saying is, i gez people need to stop complaining they are fat. do something about it, not because other people's opinions make you do so but because you start to have an opinion about yourself and you are not happy about it. and i don't think we should be thin. we should be healthy.

yeah, i gez that's all i got to say for now.... :D

judging you, judging me...

In my short lifetime i have realized a lot of things. one is, people love to judge. and we especially love judging misdeeds of others. i keep on trying to figure out why... so i decided to make myself the lab-rat for my little experiment. i had these questions to answer: what makes me judge someone? how do i judge them? what happens after i judge that person? what good have i got out of it? Firstly, i judge people because i am either intrigue or envious. intrigue because there is something i wanna know about that person and there is no way of knowing it or i am just too proud or "indifferent" to ask. so i start to make my own judgments about him and come up with my own answers. in short, a way of satisfying my curiosity. now, envious because they have something i do not have or want so badly but unable to get. so i judge them, mostly badly, to justify the "fact" that one cannot get everything but rather one gets what they deserve. so i start thinking of "yes,

hot and humid

Today it's 33°C with a relative humidity of 66%, courtesy of the weather bug. Oh yeah, it is sunny. Our body sweat's evaporation process makes our body cooler but high humidity prevents the evaporation of our sweat so we are left hot and sticky in this weather. It has been like this for a while and some people have suffered from heat stroke. A 20-27°c temp is our comfort zone and anything higher than that could cause heat illnesses . So what does high heat do to us? The common effects of extreme body heat are we experience mental as well as physical problems  like getting grumpy and spaced out and getting really tired and inefficient. And in extreme cases, when body heat rises up to 41°C, this could be a possible heat stroke. It is important that we are aware about the signs because heat stroke requires immediate medical attention since delayed treatment could cause damage to our kidneys, heart and brain. Body temp rising up to 41°C is a main symptom but the person usually fain
