on running and exercise

this is me after my jog today.

i have stopped jogging in the last two weeks and have found myself gaining weight so fast(4kls).i am back on my running pace though it's not a good one yet, i am sure that if i keep on it i'll gain my pacing back in two weeks time.if i just keep on it and make smart food choices and be conscious on my intake, i am sure i'll get to my ideal weight.

it is essential to have a conscious effort when your slimming down and to have a buddy to work out with to cheer you one or check up on you when your lagging on your workout.it is also important that you do inhal and exhale correctly and posture/form is of essential in execution whether you are stretching, running, or swimming.it's also important that you wear the proper and comfortable gear so as not to make the activity stressful but rather a good and enjoyable one. My Adidas running shoes has been a trustworthy partner over the years and a comfy top and non-sweat sticking shorts gets me in the mood to run.

'Oh God thy sea is so great and my boat is so small.'

I've seen a film before where President J.F. Kennedy was portrayed meditating on these words inscribed on a plaque on his desk and it st ucked on me ever since.

Every time that we go out for a beach outing and I wade with my friends in the sea, this thought always makes me thank God for the all the amazing things He have created and provided us with. It humbles me, looking how tiny I am in contrast with the vast body of water that surrounds me. I am always reminded that God's love for me is like the sea...wide, deep, long and at times unfathomable and even frightening. Hearing the sound of the wave gives me that refreshing feeling all over...its like being washed away of all the worries,concern, and thoughts that pull me down. It's like, i could start all over again... on a clean slate.The sea gives me a feeling of serenity, serenity that transcends my entire entity. The sea means a lot of things to me...and i can't help to be drawn to it like a traveler hearing a siren's song.

Pearl Harbor

For the first time, last night...at long last...I have seen Pearl Harbor ( the movie).

I have long wanted to see this film just to reaffirm my bugging feeling who the nurse is (yes, she's the same girl in Van Helsing, Click and Underworld- Kate Beckinsale) and at last, it will be laid to rest. It is one of Jerry Bruckheimer's production and directed by the same person who directed Transformers on the big screen- Michael Bay. It boast of a stellar cast consist of Alec Baldwin, Jon Voight, Cuba Gooding Jr., Mako, even Jennifer Garner with Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett as bestfriends Rafe and Danny who both were part of the US Air Force and stationed at Pearl Harbor when the historical attack that sparked World War II happened.

It must have run for almost 3 hours. I am amused by some of the cheesy lines guys in this film used to get through the girl's they eye or when they're professing their undying love and devotion or their fear of war. The emotions, the events, the effects, the anticipation of how the story will unfold in this interpretation (even though you've watched a lot of war movies and have read about it on history books already) and waiting to see kate Beckinsale's face again must have made me not notice that it was a long film.

As I've watched this, I remember my special someone who's far away and will be far a way for a while.Though he is not in the army or the navy, or any of that line, those ships in the film reminded me of him...of someone I love who's facing all uncertainties in the big, wide open sea. I could totally relate to what Evelyn and Rafe was feeling whenever they write and communicate with each other with such distance apart.

More than a love story, this film displays friendship, of being a man, on the power of believing, it speaks of America's pride and how they come to be as such, it shows the tedious way the Japanese works ( to think that such a small country who doesn't even much of metal industry, something that plays a vital part at the time of war gave Uncle Joe such a hard time back then). It shows personal values, differences, faith, loyalty, honor, courage and rising from defeat . It is a story of war but it's also a love story. It is entertainment nevertheless...and sometimes, it's just the way it goes.It may have some biases in its portrayal, inconsistencies,loose ends but it is up to the thinking viewers to figure things out and connect the dots.
