Punching our way to Fitness

For the past few weeks, Gia and I have been going home with aching shoulders and bruised legs because we have been attending -- get this -- Muay Thai classes. 

 Whoa! Yes, I know. The girly-girl in me is totally bewildered by the idea. But that's why I have decided to do it all the more. The idea of being completely helpless when the bad guys (bad guys talaga, sige na nga, guys with bad intentions) choose to steal my purse or hold me at gunpoint scares me more. I mean yes, you got to choose your battles and one's life is more important than her purse or her cellphone... but I want to know that I can at least defend myself when such unfortunate circumstances arise. 



So that's what we have been doing lately and it was so much fun! There are moments when I just scream silently in my head, panting for dear life... and other times, I not-too-silently tell my coach "wait lang, eto na!" especially when he is asking me to do 30 crunches straight (ab work out will be the death of me) but that's when you have to push yourself farther.


There are so many options now to be fit and healthy... There's circuit (for the busybodies), spinning classes (really expensive stuff, whyyyy), dance classes, gym and tons of different sports. 

So if you want to try boxing, Muay Thai. Jiu Jitsu, or MMA, here a few places worth checking out:

Before, my office mates used to tell me, "sige ikaw pag nagkaanak ka na..." well, I am still yet to have a baby, and here I am, already sporting a bulging tummy. I can now attest to my office mates well-meaning warnings. It's true guyyyys.

Passionately Curious

Here is the post I wrote years ago! I echoed here what I learned from the 2 speakers, Tricia Gosingtian and Ana Santos. Tricia is a fashion blogger, so there's a part of the event in which we all had to pick out and model the outfits from Bayo then Tricia picked out winners from the attendees. So the event started with that then went into the specifics of fashion blogging then writing in general. :) Hope you'll pick up a few writing nuggets! Happy reading and writing!

It's Perfectly Fine Not to Say Anything

Last weekend, we went to this Starbucks branch in Tagaytay and it was really lovely. It was situated below a steep driveway, and unless you know where to look, it would be quite easy to miss. But it's a spacious lot -- with glass doors, paintings, couches, benches and wooden architecture -- it may just be my favorite Starbucks by far.

He says, She says (Part 3)

Ligawan Stage So this is the part where Dennis already laid down his intentions, and I said yes to courtship.  I’ll share here the things we learned and what God taught us during this season. Hope this encourages you! Dennis told me to share his insecurities in this blog because he thought that it would encourage the men out there. Some of his insecurities were:
