dive2Originally uploaded by annalyn. If I were to make up an imaginary list of 25 Things To Do Before I Die, diving is definitely one of them. And so I was glad when I was able to do it over the weekend, or take an introductory course at least, at the Punta Fuego infinity pool. Well, what can I say...it was one of the most fun things I did in recent times. The only thing was that I was the most difficult student among our group of three. My friend Bianca said she almost died laughing from all my blunders, especially when I wore my diving suit on the wrong side and ... Continue Reading...
Buffest!
ang hangOriginally uploaded by annalyn. The week has whizzed by fast and somehow I feel guilty for not updating this blog. Several things have happened in my life lately, some details of which I will be posting soon. However, one thing that has remained constant is the fact that I've eaten more food than ever. Buffet for lunch and buffet for dinner in one day was really terrible.So busy and so engrossed was I with all the gorging that I forgot about the gym for a while. Hmm, I think a social study on the buffet mentality of Filipinos should be in the works. That's ... Continue Reading...
Try this for fun!
I tried the Face Analyzer site which calls itself the "only automated face reader in the world." Basically what you do is upload a close-up picture of yourself and then it determines your race as well as personality type. Undoubtedly I had fun, knowing that I am such a sucker for these things.Results for AjayRace Analysis 93% Southeast Asian7% ChinesePersonality Profile (on a scale of 1 to 10)Intelligence 7.8 Very Intelligent (ahem)Ambition 7.2 High AmbitionGay Factor 1.4 Very low gay factor (should be 0 gay factor, 100% female)Politeness 6.1 Average PolitenessIncome ...

What is your Happiness Quotient?
Definitely, it was edifying to note that Filipinos made it to the top list of countries in Asia who ranked well in terms of being happy and satisfied with their lives, despite overwhelming odds. I am referring to the World Values Survey undertaken by the University of Michigan among 82 countries last November. We are always used to the Philippines ranking first in other surveys for being one of the most corrupt, heavily-indebted, terror-stricken etc. and so it was refreshing to encounter something good to be said about us, for a change.The social scientists were quick ...

It’s gym time!
Mommy SimonOriginally uploaded by annalyn. At 75, Mrs. Teodora Simon is perhaps the fittest grandma (or great-grandma) I have ever seen. Looking at her with her firm legs, muscled arms and over-all tiptop shape makes me hope in myself even when I feel old in my mid-30s. She could well be my role model in this new regimen of working out.Mrs. Simon, whom every friend fondly calls Mommy, even won the Slimmers' World Great Bodies Competition when she was 67. As somebody who used to be 170 lbs., motivation and determination are her secrets for being the great woman she is ... Continue Reading...
