How I almost passed out at the gym
So after almost a year of sitting on my butt and doing an exorbitant amount of getting fat, I finally decided to go back to boxing. I used to go regularly, but I had to stop just before the wedding because my days back then were filled with me avoiding doing wedding preparations.
I vowed then that right after the honeymoon, after we’ve figured out our daily routine, I’d go back to boxing. Unfortunately, just like my promise to stop my crimefighting activities, or to get started on my dancing career, this promise was made to sit on the shelf while a masked, flamenco-dancing vigilante roamed the streets ensuring a better tomorrow for all of us.
You’re welcome by the way.

Time Management Prescription
As a physician, time management is essential to my work. It allows me to give the best care to my patients and to have enough time to spend taking care of myself and my family.
Here is my prescription for time management.
Organize. I plan all my activities the day before and plot in my mind the most energy and time saving route and sequence of activities. Doing so leaves me with more energy and time for emergencies and other stuff.

Blogging: The heart and soul of it
Almost a traitor
Honestly, I was also thinking about how to make money out of my blog, so I applied at an advertisement site. But sadly, I was not accepted because they think that my blog does not support language translation. I thought that the “culprit” could have been my Wika 2007 entry, so I thought about actually deleting this blog entry. Since I was already deeply engrossed with blogging, I might as well get money from it. After a careful deliberation, and accepting fact that I am not a conformist, and again inspired by Señor Enrique’s comment in my blog, that he is here for service. I do realize that I just wanted to share my thoughts and feelings about the mundane things about life, and being a Filipino. So the money-making motive is now completely abandoned. Deleting my Wika 2007 entry would also mean I am turning my back from the things I have believe in—to put it more succintly, I would become a traitor to my being a Filipino!

Scheduling your posts for the future
When I write my post for the day, I do it on the same day the post will be published. This has been effective for me until I had days where I can’t even touch my blog since I may be outside of the house or doing some schoolwork (thesis). Remember my blog hiatus last week where I traveled to Iloilo, I was on the road for nearly 24hours and with no access to a computer. Obviously, there were also no posts for those days and that’s something I wish to avoid.
This has been a problem for me since I want to blog on a consistent basis. Due to my current way of writing my articles, I can’t do this so I looked around for some solutions to this problem…
The Solution? I’m glad wordpress offers Post Scheduling.

One Voice (An OFW’s reaction to Malu Fernandez’s “From Greece to Boracay”)
In response to Marc’s comment in my birthday post, I would like to air my views about Malu Fernandez’ article entitled From Greece to Boracay!. A lot of people have expressed their views about the controversial author’s article. And this post could just be one tiny flame in the millions of opinions that have been expressed by bloggers and journalists. But hey, I’m a great believer in the power of one, so here’s My One.
First impressions, Final analysis
As an Overseas Filipino Worker, I was shocked by Ms. Fernandez’ comments about OFW’s. My initial reaction was one of denial – Can someone be this “fierce” and brazen toward her countrymen? In my disbelief, I had to force myself to read the article more than once and I tried to read it objectively. What exactly did she write? Here are some of the things that were a little bit hard for me to swallow and here are my comments: Continue reading…
