Finished full 1 hr Taebo Advanced work-out

Posted by Arelle V. White on June 24th, 2009

Im currently all in sweat! (you’re probably saying, ewwww!)…lol..but i sure feel good
being able to finally finish this Taebo advance work out by Billy Blanks, this is probably my 4th or 5th session
since i started last week. I am probably like some if not most who would stop somewhere
along the work out (around 30th minute of the over 50…lol), when it gets really hard.
But as i kept doing it, i became stronger and it got me to 35th, 40th minute, 45th, 50th minute until i made it to the cool down!

It honestly took higher power for me to finish it. I could feel how well my heart got worked out and how good my blood is circulating right now, maybe unclogging some fats within the inner sides of my arteries, and burning calroies i had from the Chicken Adobo and organic rice i ate for lunch, and the boiled Camote (sweet potatoes) i had for afternoon snack. Yes i did have a morning snack lol (a Skyflakes and fresh pineapple), after having an egg sandwich this morning.

Well, if ah, you haven’t been exercising lately, maybe you can join me As Fitness First says it, “A healthy mind, begins with a healthy body.”

For this mornings devotion, i read the book of Song of Solomon. It was mostly on love and relationship between King Solomon and his wife. How they regarded and praised each other and longed for each other, and loved each other.

I also got email devotions from Crosswalk which might want to visit and subscribe to. I also recently finished listening to Joel Osteens a Better you on Audio.

Btw, you know what? God is Love! And he demostrated love by giving his Son Jesus for you and me, imagine God giving his SON, for us! That’s how valueble you and i, so if there is something we have to do, it is to love ourselves by taking care of our body, mind soul and spirit, which Jesus died for to save.

I thought I gotta feed my body with good food, keep it healthy by exercising, feeding my n mind with nice words (read something uplifting), and listening to something that will make me feel better and better as a person.

If there is something or someone pulling you down, maybe you can try taking a short break and get back more recharged! You owe it to yourself, be prepared for the more good things yet to happen ahead, for the best days of your life is yet to come!

God bless!

Another FB Quiz, Greek Goddess? Type of Woman? My Gemstone?

Posted by Arelle V. White on June 17th, 2009

What Greek goddess am i? the Quiz result says I am Aphrodite, the Goddes of Love! lol…

You Are Aphrodite the Goddess of Love: Goddess of love, lust, beauty, wife of Hephaestus. Ares is her lover. Eros is her son. Known as the most beautiful of the Greek goddesses. Her symbols are the scepter, myrtle, and dove.

I think these descriptions are too much for me lol…

What type of Woman Am I? Result Quiz says… I’m Adventurous. I sort of agree with this.

You are an Adventurous woman!: You’re not afraid to try anything new at least once – be it going on a hike, trying an ethnic dish, belting out a song in a karaoke bar or you name it. You bring excitement and refreshness to your friends and they love you for that. Everyday of the life for you is a new adventure.

My recent adventures are rock climbing for the first time, thanks to Doug’s encouragement. I was part of the Country’s First batch of Skywalkers – at the Crown Regency Hotel Skywalk Adventure, rode the Edge Coaster at the Tallest Hotel in the Philippines too in Cebu. Entered the Phyton Cage (they locked us up inside literally), my gosh I’m glad the snake (3o feet long Phyton-big enought to eat me) was sleeping lol, did Reef Walks a couple of times in Boracay (walking under water at 25 feet wearing a head gear for air and fed fish). I want to try the Zip line ride and Skydiving soon, hopefully within the year. I can try ethnic food, but belting out at a karaoke bar? that i am not sure, in the privacy of my shower would be more like it lol.

What does my Gemstone say about me? An amethyst.

You are a February Amethyst!: Witty and intelligent. Outgoing person. Smart and attractive. Altruistic. Peace lover. Faithful towards your near and dear ones. Very sensitive. Honest to the core. Loves to spend money. Modest and humble. Creative mind. Dominating personality. Ambitious towards life. Never give up spirit. Good listener. Superstitious entertainment lover.

Well thanks how Facebook puts it out, lol…I am definitely a God’s work in progress…far from perfect, saved by Grace, being blessed by God, need understanding, encouragement and lots of love are welcome.

Try taking a quiz too, visit facebook today, just for fun!

I thank my Father God how he has made me. I am praying for whatever purpose he has for making me to be fulfilled by submission to His plan and will.

By the way, we are talking about God the Father Revealed! in Church right now. It is awesome that The Creator of the World, the Universe, the Galaxy and beyond wants to relate with us as a Father. I invite you to join us at Victory Christian Fellowship, we have services every Saturday and Sunday at Robinsons Galleria and also in key cities nationwide. Visit our website at VictoryOrtigas

Power of Compassion?

Posted by Arelle V. White on June 17th, 2009

I am quite new at using Facebook, i just recently added pictures and took some quiz.
Here is one I took on “What is your secret Power?”
Result is that I have a power of compassion. Wow!

“You have a heart of gold and have compassion for everyone around you. You have sacrificed your life to serve others and are oftentimes the only source of hope they have—whether you realize it or not.”
Glory to God for that. Btw, we have been doing a bit
of charity work in Kalibo and Boracay

11 Things to do in Bohol

Posted by Arelle V. White on June 16th, 2009

You can get to Bohol by taking a plane to Tagbiliran like we did via Cebu Pacific Air (Fare is about P 5,000 round trip Manila-Tagbilaran-Manila). Read more details how to get here.

You can either check into your hotel first before taking the tour or go straight with the tour if you arrive first thing in the morning in Tagbilaran. Tour can take at least 5 hours with all the travelling from one spot to another.

Here are at least 11 things you must do when in Bohol.1. Visit the Blood Compact Site to at least take a picture

2. Reminisce the Spanish Christian Era at the Baclayon Church

Spanish Era Catholic Church

3. Have Lunch at a Floating Boat and traverse the Loboc River

4. See and Hold a Tarzier

World's smallest primate

5. Can you brave to get in the cage where the biggest Phyton is? This phyton is fed One whole pig each month, and this photo, he is about to get hungry and will be fed in only three (3) days. Thank God he is sleeping.

At least 30 feet in length and eats one pig a month, whole!

6. Butterfly Garden

Butterfly on my cap

7. Chocolate Hills

8. Panglao Beach

9. Stay in a Resort that suites your mood and purpose.
10. Explore on Food. We ate at Bohol Beach Club Restaurant, we had Buffet for both Dinner and Breakfast, then lunch was already at the Loboc River Floating Restaurant (which also served Filipino Buffet) then Alona Palm for dinner where we opted for Steak and Salmon with wine by the pool. We had a nice breakfast at Charts, then Pizza at the Panglao Alona Beach front.
11. Shop for Souvenirs – Well there are a lot of shops at the Loboc River Entrance for your to choose from selling Fashion Accessories, Bags, Tshirts and what have you. Bought a few shirts at Islands Souvenirs and a swim suit coz i left all mine in Boracay. I honestly didn’t get to swim in Panglao Island’s beach because of lack of time but enjoyed swimming at Charts-Alona Resort Pool where we stayed the last two night. We stayed at the Bohol Beach club our first night.

Bohol has a very good mix of the beach and site seeing! I’d definitely go back. I heard they have a skydiving spot which I’d want to do someday.
