I just had my fitness assessment at the gym. I was not happy. Most of the metrics were within the normal range. A few were out of range but they were near the borderline. What made me sad was when I compared it with my fitness assessment last May 2018 when I first signed up … Continue reading Back At Negative One

Daddy Diary – December 2018

I haven't weighed myself yet but I hope it is still within 72 kilos. 2. Acid Attack. … Continue reading Daddy Diary – December 2018
Thankful for 2018
I was asked to share my testimony in church. What am I thankful for this year? I shared about the perks and uncertainties of a freelancer. Being a freelancer, I am my own boss. I dictate my own time. I can work anywhere. I can work anytime. However, there is a lot of uncertainties about … Continue reading Thankful for 2018
Regret vs Guilt
When you feel bad for the things you didn't do, that's REGRET. When you feel bad for the things you did do, that's GUILT. If you need to choose between the two, choose REGRET.

Whether it is cooked or uncooked, one or many, we have a different word for "rice". If it's a … Continue reading Rice by any other name is…
2019 Ipon Challenge
I like making an Ipon Challenge during the start of the year. For 2019, I will probably continue my "Invisible 50 Challenge". The Invisible 50 Challenge means saving all the 50 peso bills I get. So every time I receive a 50 peso bill, I make sure not to spend it. I would keep it … Continue reading 2019 Ipon Challenge
