With flu (A(H1N1) season almost at its peak, being exposed to the elements is not a priority. Yeah right, even if the mid-body weight seem to be accumulating fast.

Yes, I am in need of physical exercise not just to stretch the legs and be active but to be able to sweat it out.

I once asked hubby if it is a good idea to get that step-exercise machine I saw at a nearby mall or perhaps take a look at the treadmills on display for an alternative physical exercise indoors.

But as I continue bouncing on this TheraBand ball I am sitting on, I came to realize that having fancy exercise machines can’t make me get up and move if i do not haul my *** off this seat and move.

Well, i really need to do that, after I have posted this

Dito lang sa Pilipinas. Kanta yan ni Gary Granada, isa sa mga paborito kong kompositor at mang-aawit. Sana pakinggan nyo ang awit at ito ay tamang-tama sa panahong ito kahit matagal na yata itong naisulat.

But come to think of it, kahit matagal nang isyu itong vote buying, flying voters, dagdag-bawas, ballot box snatching at murder (ayon sa kanta), siyempre, hindi mawawala diyan ang kandidatong hindi natalo kundi dinaya, pati na din ang kandidatong nandaya kaya nanalo, hindi pa din ito naluluma.

Para bang parte na ito ng kultura natin and no matter how much we say we want changes and reforms (electoral reforms in this matter) parang walang nangyayari. Ganun na ba kalala ang kalagayang ito at ng mga sumangang sitwasyong kaakibat ng isyung ito?

Anyway, wag lang sana umabot sa ganito kapag sukdulang galit na ang mga tao:

Hindi, hindi ko po pinababalik si Gat Andres upang mamuno ng isang pag-aalsa

Bakit kelangan pang mangyari yun kung aayusin na lang sana ang prosesong suntok sa buwan na maituturing?

pasensiya na po, medyo blurred, umaandar kasi nung ako ay kumuha ng larawan

Negative energy has the tendency to zap out the life in you. Negative energy is not good energy for when it is aplenty, you feel burdened, slacking and lethargic.

Negative energy in the workplace does not produce the best in people who are supposed to be productive, creative and

So how can you transform negative energy in the workplace?

Be able to know the source of the negative energy. Is the negative energy coming from the situation in your place of residence? You may wake up late, hurrying through your morning rituals and riding it out through rush hour traffic. Now you know you need to devise ways to deflect this negative energy that seems to drain all your energy even before you reach the workplace.

Is it the overbearing boss? Or the pay that is always given delayed? Or the co-worker who pester you with mundane details of her job description that you almost end up doing what she is supposed to do?

Examine yourself. Be honest with yourself. Do you maintain a happy disposition and positive outlook in life? Do you feel stress and have periodic bouts of stomach cramps and headaches during the day? Do you have trouble sleeping?

You do not have to absurd all these stresses all at the same time. You need to pause for a while to think and evaluate your situation. Maybe you need to accept that not everything happens even with the best-laid plans.

Identify what needs to be given more focus instead of dwelling on the negative energy. You are bothered by the chattering of the person in the work station beside yours? Then block out the sounds and concentrate on your work. Bothered by the annoying voice of the secretary dictating to you the things you need to accomplish?

Thinking about these things that bother you in the workplace will make you unproductive and in return, you become the source of that negative energy that you wanted to not encounter.

Be positive by maintaining a healthy and happy disposition. Staying positive will not only make you happy, it will also give you that much needed focus to concentrate on your work. Keep wary too of people who project negative energy.

Attract positive energy by transforming your own work station as negative-energy free. Smile more often. Do random acts of kindness. Choose carefully the words that you use when having a conversation with others. If you really need to ask others to stop doing what they do because you can not concentrate, do it in a nice manner so that other will not get offended.

Be able to widen your understanding of the people and the situations happening. Understand where other people are coming from by knowing them more. Be able to analyze situations and how you should appropriately react to these. Being more understanding does not only make you feel great about not getting annoyed at the littlest things, you also get some brownie points for being a sport.

Negative energy comes in different ways.

Before you even begin to point the source of this negative energy, it is best to look within your self first and examine how you view the work place in your own eyes. Then try to be more understanding and keep that focus on your work.

Imposible ba ito? Alin sa mga ito ang imposible?

Ang magkaroon ng lugar upang malayang makapagalaro ang mga bata?

Ang maging ligtas ang mga bata sa kapahamakan?

Ang mga bata ay makapag-aral at magkaroon ng kasanayan upang matuto silang mamuhay para sa sarili at pamilya?

Imposible na bang mawala ang katiwalaan sa pamahalaan?

Imposible na bang maging mas masikap ang mga tao?

Imposible na bang ituluy-tuloy na paglaganap ng kapayapaan?

Kahit hindi kaya ng mga me sinumpaang tungkulin at ng mga nasa posisyon at may kakayahan nang pagpapatupad ng batas, magiging posible ito.

Paano?

Hindi bilang isang himala kungdi…

pagbabago na sisimulan natin sa ating sarili, kahit na sabihin pang gasgas na ang linyang ito.

Sinasabi ng iba na tila daw tayo ay pupulutin na sa kangkungan, dahil isang basket case na ang ating bansa. Pero, kung titingnan mabuti ang larawan, kahit pala sa kangkungan, me kakaibang ganda pa din basta pagsisikapang lilinisin, hindi ba?

(wala pong photoshop na nangyari kundi crop, resize, blur para sa text at text lang)

Why?

Because the account I first saw which I thought was her, was in fact, created by another person! Yes, the fraud was using her name and made friends with her real friends and relatives.

I got an FB account using my real name so that I could escape the dilemma she is going through. I signed up so that I could play Farm Town with my friends so that I am sure that it is I who is using my real name.

I have read in an online article (which I can’t find anymore because I did not bookmark it) about doing this, signing up using your real name when joining online sites including social networking sites, to be able to protect one’s online identity and reputation.

So there, if you have to sign up for things like this, use your real names otherwise, people with not-so-good intentions will use yours.

You would not want that, do you?
