My New Blog - Journey into Living Healthy

Last Saturday August 15, I ran my first 5 kilometers marathon after a very long time in the Kenny Roger's Urbanite. Yes, I have started my journey to being healthy and fit again. I think it is about time since I am not getting any younger. The best thing I can do to keep myself healthy and young-looking, aside from the other options of taking a pill or going under the knife which I dare not do, is to start living a healthy lifestyle again.

I would like you all to join me in my Journey into Living Healthy. I have decided to document this new chapter in my life as a way of committing myself to not quit and keep on going. I would be sharing here my thoughts, resource sites, experiences and even the events that I will be participating in to keep myself in shape. This site will be anything and everything about fitness and well-being.

Maybe you have your own share of experiences or thoughts about getting fit and healthy again. It would be great to hear from you because I can learn a thing or two. Maybe you are also in your own journey into being healthy, I would like to know how you are doing so far.

Why don't we all get up and start having a healthy lifestyle not just for ourselves but also for our loved ones. I always tell myself over and over again, "Health is Wealth." so we better take good care of ourselves and there is no better time to start than today.

Let's all take this Journey into Living Healthy together! =)

Online Search Made Easy

Lately, I have been searching for different applications and programs that I can install in my pocket pc. The type of file I would be looking for is usually dependent on what I would like to download and install that day. There was a time that I was busy looking for games suitable for my pocket pc because of the special request from my daughter. It took forever to find what I was looking for. It seemed to be a hit and miss thing.

Luckily, I stumbled on Rapidshare Search where it made my search for files online so much quicker and easier. Here links are regularly updated and the website is very easy to navigate and well-designed This was just so conveninent for me since I did not have the luxury of time to be online the whole day just to look for something. Now whenever I need to look for a file I just go directly to Rapidshare Search and it's made life much easier for me.

Back to the Grind

It's a Monday again and I bet most of you feel the same way I am feeling right now. Where in the world did my weekend go? Was there actually a weekend? Hahaha!!!

Why can't there be longer weekends? Why can't it be three days instead of two? Three is the perfect number - first day is to unwind and let it all out, second day is for time with family and loved ones ,and the third day is to just simply relax...nothing more, nothing less. Now, that would be just perfect. But unfortunately it does not go that way. Darn. :P

I guess the least we can do is make the most of whatever short break we have before getting back to the grind. What I usually do is plan for the weekend. Oh yeah you heard me right, I actually schedule my weekend along with the rest of the week. At least this way I get to maximize the 48 hours I have to unwind and relax and do whatever needs to be done which I can't on a regular weekday.

It may sound a little too "organized" for some but it works for me. I get to do what I really need to . Then if there is actually "extra time" left in my weekend schedule I am free to do "bonus" activities. Then before the last few hours of my weekend is over, I can actually look back and say "Yeah, at least my weekend was well-spent."

How about you? How do you go about maximizing your weekend?

No Fuss Viewing with Direct TV

Last night my beloved husband Vince was busy watching the Philippines vs. Korea basketball game of the FIBA Asian Championships 2009 in Tianjin, China. He was initially viewing a free live video streaming over the internet but of course the feed was too slow. Then, he saw on local television a live telecast but the reception was not very good. At that time, it made me think and wish that we had Direct TV at home so that he could have watched his favorite basketball games with no fuss and no problems at all.

That’s why I immediately did my research to check out the best deals and packages I could find. I came across Kaptain Satellite during my search and saw the DIRECTV Benefits over local and cable television. The site and information provided here made my quest for finding the best Direct TV and Satellite TV easier. With the many options available, I am sure to find one that would suit our needs and budget the most. And watching our favorite TV shows anytime especially my husband’s live basketball games would just be a breeze.
