When I started working, at to work with people who smoke a lot. Mentally, I have to adjust. I was conditioned to not being around smokers. But this time, I can’t leave a job just because I don’t like being with smokers. While some have very expensive cigarette, others have discount cigar collections. I have to adjust.

I guess many of us had this experience before – going out of your comfort zone to simply work things out professionally. That’s just how it is in the real world.

For now, I would need to invest financially to ensure a stable future when the time comes that work becomes impossible for me to do. Nowadays, insurance online is in. Insurance guys coming to visit you at home is a thing of the past.

Aside from investing financially, one should also invest with his or her loved ones emotionally and with God spiritually. Life is never complete without it

You see, as we grow older, our bodies get less adaptive to temperature changes and pressure. These are stressors that the body tries to minimize. This adaptive ability is decreased as age increases.

I remember my lolo used to wrap his feet in thick layers of cloth and put layers of socks around it. This way, the cold floor doesn’t directly touch his feet that causes these foot pains.

I guess it becomes more and more inconvenient but that’s just how the body works. We cannot stay young and live forever. That’s why if you are still in your prime years, try to do a lot and enjoy those years before the years can chase after you

I guess one consideration I had at that time was actually where exactly in the government will an Industrial Engineer fit in. I guess one work we can greatly do is to improve the processes in different government offices. As you see, our government needs to be more efficient. They need more control and check and balances. The problem with that though is that you step on other’s foot sometimes, especially when you are working with audit.

Oh well. I guess somewhere inside of me, I still have that hope for my country. After all, they paid for my scholarship through college

For me, travelling lets you see the world in new eyes. It makes you look into your own realities and opens your eyes to sights and sounds that you’ve never seen before

While there is nothing wrong with these medical works, products and breakthroughs, sometimes it is just better to take time to have that good old exercise. Somehow, it gives you a real sense of fulfillment, knowing that you worked your ass off (literally) to get the figure you’ve always wanted.

You can also try good diet programs with weight loss supplements but as long as you don’t ingrain it to your habits and lifestyle, you are bound to lose whatever you worked hard for.

Nowadays, I’m not sure how but elixirs of life come in plastic bottles with labels on it. I remember how fond my mom was with Olay back then. She keeps reminding my aunt who is in the US to buy her one each time she sends a package.

I guess that’s just how people are – we don’t want to look old. A lot of anti aging product packages offer ageless beauty via creams and lotions.

In my opinion though, agelessness doesn’t come from your skin or your body’s figure. It comes from the character that’s way beyond what creams and lotions can enhance.

But when a guy grows old, these realities become closer to his doorsteps, closer than he thought. You discover sex in teenage years and throughout adulthood you get different descriptions and stories about it.

I guess one topic I’d like touch here are the problems that guys typically have. I guess you know a lot already about prostate cancer but it’s usually on your latter years. For guys in mid 20’s to mid 30’s common problems arise. There’s STD of different kinds which I consider self inflicted as these are usually gotten through uncontrolled, if not illicit sexual activities. Then, there’s also insecurity which I would say is more mental than physical. Finally, there’s impotence which, for many men, is a nightmare.

The medical community has heard the cries of men. Different medicines and remedies are springing up here and there. There’s viagra and maxoderm to name a few.

Overall, I would say sex is a crucial element in a man’s life. Although, today, a big part of it already twisted and distorted, sex is primarily the driving force that populates the earth

It is true that as a person ages, his or her metabolism decreases. Before, I usually lose a lot of weight after a run or a badminton game. Now, it takes more of me to do so. Slowly, people around start to notice how “rounder’ I have become.

When I had my Physical Exam last year, I had hypercholesterolemia – the condition when your blood has too much cholesterol. Obviously, I wasn’t watching what I put into my mouth.

That prompted me to look into a more healthier lifestyle. I read a lot of articles and looked for really good fat burners, from exercise routines to fat-burning fruits and vegetables.

One tip that really worked for me was to have at least 45 mins of cardio exercise. It worked like magic! (as commercials say). I was running via treadmill for 30 mins at least twice a week but unfortunately I wasn’t shedding my love handles. Then I learned that on an average, the body warms up the muscles and fats within 30 mins. Only after reaching the 30 min threshold that it starts to burn fat. It was exactly what I needed. Now, I’m proud to see 6 pack under my shirt
