I get poignantly lost in every beat that reminds me of you...

Sarah McLachlan - Angel

Spend all your time waiting For that second chance, For a break that would make it okay. There's always some reason To feel not good enough, And it's hard, at the end of the day. I need some distraction, Oh, beautiful release. Memories seep from my veins. Let me be empty, Oh, and weightless, and maybe  I'll find some peace tonight. [Chorus] In the arms of the angel, Fly away from here, From this dark, cold hotel room, And the endlessness that you fear. You are pulled from the wreckage, Of your silent reverie. You're in the arms of the angel, May you find some comfort here. So tired of the straight line, And everywhere you turn, There's vultures and thieves at your back. The storm keeps on twisting. Keep on building the lies That you make up for all that you lack. It don't make no difference, Escape one last time. It's easier to believe in this sweet madness, Oh, this glorious sadness, That brings me to my knees. [Chorus] You're in the arms of the angel...

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 fai...

The Humble Sayote

Image
Okay, so am watching Pinoy Master Chef and i dunno why i thought of sayote . They call it mirliton in the US and others also call it Chayote or vegetable pear. So here, we call it sayote . When i was a kid and started learning about vegetables and stuff I had the impression that people didn't give much attention to sayote coz i grew up being told that it doesn't have much nutrients... just water. So with all these trending posts about health benefits of fruits and vegetables, i decided to look this one up and what do you know... turns out, 100g of this vegetable gives us 23% of our daily recommended intake of b-complex vitamin, folates. It is low in calories just 16kcal per 100g and no saturated fats or cholesterol, it's got anti-oxidants and vitamin C, considerable amount of potassium and the rest of the b-complex vitamins. And it is also good in minerals like iron, manganese, phosphorous, copper and zinc. so much for the humble sayote.  The next time i am having or...

a fool to want you...

Image
i always want what i cannot have. and i always go for the ones who doesn't want me back. mebbe it is true that we accept to love who we "think" we deserve and not those we believe and know in our hearts who is right for us. there is no perfect thing so one doesn't just give up on something that is flawed. we fight for it but unfortunately, fighting too many times gets really tiring and exhausting. so i gez giving up is okay. as long as we give it all we got. just like what i did... so you can call me a fool coz i still want you and i will not be the same without you... but i didn't really have you, didn't i? so that makes me all the more foolish than i already am. 

BB and I

it's weird how we can get so attached to a piece of gadget like a boyfriend. i get grumpy without it and if it suddenly stops working, my world stops spinning for a while. :D i remembered getting to know my phone and it was hard. getting to know the apps, what to do with them, troubleshooting, getting new apps, how to make things work for me... then dealing with the battery life being so short. i had to bring a charger around coz i can't seem to deal with the fact that it could die on me anytime. so what i did is get a led app... assign unique colors to my app notifications and put my phone on silent. it does extend a bit of battery life and it works coz am always looking at my phone anyway. :p lol this is such a random blog post. so this is what happens after a major drunken moment... the soberification process... brings about random ideas... lol bottom line is i love my BB... please don't leave me... T_T hehehehe

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 ...
