Ylan’s Refuge

I just got logged out from a social networking site. Geez! One of the photo albums of one of my online friends is raining abs. Raining men with sexy abs rather. It’s a parade of some sort and a resounding wow is all i could say. How can those men get all those six pack of muscles? They could be taking testosterone booster right? And i’m sure those men are frequent visitors of gyms and sports centers. It takes a lot of dedication to maintain such sexy figures but i guess it’s all about attitude. When will i ever get that attitude? Hmnn… i’m sleepy already. Tada! Let’s dream of those sexy abs. Haha!

When is the best time to exercise? I’ve read that morning is the best time. Why? The fastest way to burn fat is to do exercises in the morning. I forgot how it is explained but i want to follow it. Problem is, i don’t wake up early! Lol! So my next best thing to do is to jog in the afternoon. Then again, i’m becoming lazy again to prepare my clothes in the morning. Sigh. Just what laziness can do.

Speaking of jogs – i ‘m amused that one of my lady friends has already tried running 12K in 1.5hrs. Wow! I’m proud of her! Me? I don’t even dream of running 10K. Perfecting 3K is my sole dream. Heheh!

Happy Thursday! Yey! It’s almost the weekend. There’s nothing much going on actually i just would like that it be weekend already. I don’t like to be around with people lately. Lol! Hey i’m moody sometimes, that i won’t deny. That maybe is a post birthday syndrome of mine. Haha. I have to do a lot of reading on apidexin anyway so i ‘d rather spend the weekend at home. I promised a friend we’d go out on Sunday but we’ll see. I might just change my mind!

It’s my birthday yesterday. I would have wanted to be absent from work but it’s audit day so i restrain myself from being invisible. Nothing special. I wished for something special to happen but it was not granted. Maybe in His time it will be given to me.

I went out with friends though. That my day a little special.

It’s a pretty hectic week for me. I had to run some very important errands i failed to watch my favourite TV series. It is a nightly affair to watch my fave shows. I just finished downloading the last season of Ugly Betty but it may have to settle for a while since i have too many things to do lately. I even sometimes forget to wash my face and put on my night cream because i’m just too tired when i get home. Ahh thinking too much is eating me up! Well, i know this will be over soon so i will be vain again in days to come.

One of my good friends at work is already working for another company in another country. Like any other newbie adjusting in a new environment, she does have a few things to complain. While still here in Cebu, she doesn’t always have to be in a rush because her husband has a car and she can drive as well. In her new place, she has to be tougher as she joins the multitude of passengers every morning trying to get in the bus or the train. She has to do a lot of walking too, from home to train/bus station and vice versa. I told her to look at the positive side of it. Isn’t it a nice way to burn those calories? A fat burner would do wonders for sure but there’s another thing she can do for free so why not take it. It’s gonna take a while before she gets the hang of it but i know in due time, she will. I’ve been to Hongkong once and i can imagine how exhausting it is to emerge in a sea of passengers.

I had a good night last night. It’s very rare nowadays that me and my friends at work get to spend some time together just eating out and chatting about anything. Right after the weekly teleconference with our offshore counterparts from Southfield, we headed to a nearby pizza parlor. Finally, my cravings have been fulfilled. I didn’t like their pasta that much though. So, like any other girly talks, beauty stuff is never missed out. One of them swears that she has the best acne treatments from her dermatologist. Her facial problem was gone in no time. And we need not negate because it shows. I might look up for her doctor since my cousin is looking for one. I’m not a fan of seeing doctors so i might just stick to my own beauty arsenals for now.

It’s been weeks away since i watched the movie Dear John. It is starred by one of my favorites, Channing Tatum. Amanda Seyfried has been a darling too. She’s starred a couple of good movies lately. It is a movie based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks, known for tearjerker stories like A Walk To Remember and The Notebook.

Surprisingly, the movie version of Dear John, was contrary to the usual sad endings. So, most of my friends were intrigued on how the story ended in the book. I have not read it. But they say, the story ending in the book is different from the movie. Now i would not want to read a sad ending. Heheh. Maybe i will not read the book at all.

They all are talking about another book entitled Nights In Rodanthe, which was made into a movie too. Maybe i could check this out from Amazon books and read it too. They say it’s really a sad movie. Who would want a sad movie? But i’m intrigued, so we’ll see.

By the way, i have original cd copies of A Walk To Remember and The Notebook. I can’t afford DVD copies.

Today is fathers’ day….

to all the fathers out there,

to my father, and paternal grandfather,

happy father’s day!

Catastrophes are inevitable. Bad things could happen at any given time. But being prepared and having the proper knowledge on what to do when calamities happen can at least lessen the damage and losses. That’s why i believe it’s important that we, employees, should strictly and heartily follow and obey any safety drills conducted within the company premises. Even simply following exit signs can do so much in implementing safety rules.

During company safety drills, i think it’s better if it is unannounced. When people know it is just a drill, they tend not to follow instructions. Why bother when it is just a drill? If it is unannounced, people will act by instincts and it is by this nature that the safety committee can very well assess its safety programs. As a leader, there’s this one thing for us to do when a fire (for example) happens. That i should go and secure an attendance checklist at the guardhouse - that is to check the headcount. If ever something would happen, i don’t think i would still be in my right mind to ever go to the guardhouse and ask for this checklist! Isn’t that funny?

So, it’s June - the month oh-so-famous for weddings. Why is it that it’s kind of special when someone says she’s a June bride? According to church records (i read sometime somewhere) however that December is the month with the highest rate of wedding ceremonies done, and not June.

Maybe it’s really special when you’re wed on the month of June. For at the office, i know four people who’ll get married this month. I’m not invited to any of this ceremonies, i’m not a close friend to them. But one of my friends told me that i’ve been to a lot of weddings already. I should know all there is to be prepared. Yup, when my turn comes, i already have in mind what my wedding should be like. I found this wedding cake toppers online and i’m sure one of the items would be perfect for my cake. But just like any celebrations, a thing or two minor details would be neglected. It doesn’t matter though, for what is important is the sanctity of the ceremony and not the grandeur of the fancy decors or dresses.
