  1. When I came back 3 years ago I was treated fairly and I love the Philippines very much that I am contemplating in going back for good. As far as balibayan are concerned some pinoys here in Toronto act as if they are better than others the moment they come here. Kakausapin mo ng tagalog and they will speak to you in english kahit very strong yung accent. There was this girl who said she forgot how to speak tagalog and I asked here how long hasa she been in Canada, she said 6 months eh p*tang in mo sabi ko (sorry for the foul language) dapat ba akong maniwala na nakalimutan mo na magtagalog? It's just sad how some pinoys give a balik bayans a bad name.

     

    Peace and sorry for the foul language I just had to say it.

  2. Has anyone ever book their Boracay reservations thru a Travel Agent or is it better to go direct to the Resort ? I'm trying to book my vacation thru this websites:

     

    www.boracaylive.com,

    www.boracaybeach.ph

    www.boracay.net.ph

     

    I'm just curious if anyone has had experience dealing with them. Also do you have an advantage if your pinoy in getting better rates in Boracay than if your a foreigner (or if your a balik bayan)?

     

    Thanks

    :mtc:

  3. nami has one of the best views of white beach... it's a tad pricey but worth every penny.

     

    sea wind also in station 1 is also really great. they have the best breakfast buffet on the island... and no roped-off beachfront like neighboring snobby hotels. there's a convenient bar located by the pool that serves really good cocktails. heaven is a P250 massage and a mango margarita as the sun setting.

     

    try also some of the resorts on the other side of the island, where the sun rises. fairways and bluewater is far and away from the action but is great for those seeking a lot of sports-related activity.

     

    i don't really like staying in any other resort that isn't on station 1. primarily because the whole idea of going to boracay would be to savor some r&r. it's difficult to do that in stations 2 and 3, what with the traffic of people.

     

    may-july would be a good time to go. but the best would be november-february. no seaweed. btw, there's no such thing as peak and off-peak anymore. boracay is happening all year round.

     

     

    You are right. The reason for me choosing Nami is its far from the action. Kailangan lang the stress relief. I tried to book Fridays pero wait list na agad ako so the next best thing would be Nami, hopefully may spots pa. Also need to be alone with that special someone. :evil:

  4. Anyone have experience with Nami Villas??? Malayo ba sa White Beach? and is it worth the cash??? I'm thinking of Booking a room for July. Also what are the chances na Uulan in (Late July) ?

     

     

    Thanks

  5. Try avoiding carbs. I konw that the Filipino diet is full of carbs , sanay kasi tayo sa Rice. But carbs are a quick fix for hunger. Try eliminating carbs and sugar in you diet for a week with a little workout and you will notice weight loss.

     

     

    Our body uses energy in which at first uses sugar, then carbs then fat. If we consume too much carbs and don't use that supply of energy our body turns then into fat (stored energy).

     

    If we try to elimnate carbs and other starchy food from our diet from our diet, our body searches and looks for other sources of energy, and guess whats next in line????

     

    FAT. If we eliminate carbs and used fat as our source of energy we go into a phase called ketosis in which when we consume protien and fat as our food our kidneys would produce ketones that would help us burn and utilize our stored fat as energy. 2 weeks of this diet would give us a significant amount of results in terms of losing weight. (Trust me I have done it) From 200 lbs to 165 lbs. in 6 months. Some may say its not healthy but check the program of body builders and they do this ketosis thing 6 months before they compete. As long as you do this in moderation like 4 months on 2 months off then 4 months on again until you reach your desire comfortable weight.

     

    Here's a good article .......

     

     

     

    Basic Mechanics of Fat Loss on a Keto Diet

     

    The object of a keto diet is to force your body to get into and stay in a glycogen deprived state and maintain a mild state of ketosis (burning fats for energy). In order to achieve this you need to increase the fat intake and restrict the carbs to a minimum.

     

    On a carb based diet, carbs are converted into glucose and this is what the body will use for its primary fuel source. The glucose that is not used for energy is converted to glycogen and stored in the liver for future usage. Now once the stores are full we get a sort of "spill over", and the excess is stored as adipose tissue or fat, as we all are familiar with. You know the stuff around the waistline we call the spare tire or the dreaded "love handles". Now we feel this is proof positive as to why you get fat, not due to eating fat, but due to excessive carbs. "But I don't eat a lot of food and I still get fat." This is possibly due to an intolerance to insulin. You would be surprised how many are walking around borderline pre-diabetics. How many obese people do you see today? Ask some of them what they eat and how much, I bet you would be surprised at the answers. I found most people are struggling with their weight due to this intolerance to insulin, especially as the aging process takes its toll.

     

    The one factor I find interesting is that you are able to control this insulin problem with this diet. We are faced with too many carb related problems, such as Diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure, which are due largely to hyper-insulinism. In the last 10 to 15 years scientists have realized that metabolic disturbances which usually occur in the obese, is caused by a form of insulin resistance. Insulin is a hormone which will constantly rise and fall according to foods we eat. It is better to control the insulin to our advantage, which will be covered in the next few installments, such as after a weight training session.

     

    Increased Energy Levels

     

    Believe it or not glucose is not the preferred fuel source for the body. We subject it to carbs constantly and the problem is carbs are not efficient and clean burning. You can compare it to your car. Would you want to put the lowest grade octane in the tank when it calls for the higher grade? What would happen? Pinging, lousy gas mileage, dirty valves, soon the available power would slow down. Same with the body, after a few days of carb withdrawal, many of Fitnessman's case studies report increased energy to the point where they are bouncing off the walls. With the dense nutritional energy in a gram of fat (stored or dietary) is it any wonder? Free form fatty acids are the actual preferred source of fuel. But with carb based diets the body rarely gets to use them due to the fact that glucose is not only more readily available but is easier to utilize. The body will assume the easiest method but not always the best method for energy. It is really simple. If we feed it carbs, it will use carbs. If we feed it fats, it will use fats. It actually takes less energy to burn carbs which is 4 calories per gram, versus the 9 calories per gram for fats. So unless the body is forced at first to utilize fatty stores it will not. This will be covered more in the next installment.

  6. What most people are saying about genetics are true. After puberty the chances of somone growing taller is very slim. I would recomend people who would like to look a little talller to correct theit body posture (stand straight at huwag kukubakuba) Also wear

    Taller shoes. Hindi yung elevator shoes but you know what I mean. Adding a couple of inches through this method always helps lalu na kung mas mataas sa yo and GF mo.
