30-Day Fitness Challenge: Day 3

Yesterday's my rest day. I wanted to do it everyday but Kusabi told me I need to have rest days because I need to give my muscle time to recover.

He then bought me Chickenjoy with spaghetti, mashed potatoes and a large Sprite. Very supportive, eh. :))

So here's day three.

Plank Challenge:
30sec Plank

Ab Challenge:
25 Sit Ups
10 Crunches
10 Leg Raises
15sec Plank

Squat Challenge:
60 Squats (Holy hell...)

Arm Challenge:
10 Push Ups (which, by the way, I'm not sure if I'm doing correctly)
10 Bench Dips
20 Bicep Curls
20sec Punches

And since I got curious, I took a peek at Day 30. 300 second plank, dafuq. I really don't wanna see how many squats I need to do on Day 30. *flails*

Maybe I'd just go up to day 15 then maintain that. We will see.

PS: I think I'm addicted to Skyflakes now.

30-day Fitness Challenge: Day 2

Plank Challenge:
20sec Plank

Ab Challenge:
20 Sit ups
8 Crunches
8 Leg Raises
12sec Plank

Squats Challenge: (my favorite *rolls eyes*)
55 Squats, ready to die at 30

Arm Challenge:
8 Push Ups
8 Bench Dips
15 Bicep Curls
15sec Punches

I'm beginning to see why these are called challenges. I want to die. Hahaha. Did I mention I love the squats? Huh? Huh?

It's embarrassing to look at myself in the mirror. I wish this would work.

30 Day Fitness Challenge: Day 1

After that disastrous attempt to get off Facebook for 30 days (but hey, I managed to last a week, give me some credit haha), I've decided to take on a different challenge altogether.

That dirty mirror tho. (makes punas)
I looked at myself in the mirror recently and I was stunned at how I managed to let myself go for the past few months. It's fucking depressing, I know. But instead of wallowing in misery, I decided to take action instead.



So, tadah! The 30-day Fitness Challenge!


For now, I'll be doing four challenges: Ab Challenge, Arm Challenge (which I totally need), Squat Challenge (ditto), and the Planking Challenge. Gulp. Just finished doing day 1 and I am KNACKERED. Well, probably because I don't really exercise so I'm guessing I'm going to struggle a bit.

So here's what I did for Day 1

(I cant find my tape measure so I'll update you guys tomorrow)

Planking Challenge:
20s Plank

Ab Challenge:
15 Sit Ups
5 Crunches
5 Leg Raise
10s Plank

Squat Challenge: 
50 Squats (this almost killed me, I'm not even kidding)

Arm Challenge:
5 Push Ups
5 Bench Dips
10 Bicep Curls (with weights)
10s Punches


I hope I'm able to finish this challenge. XD And It's going to be tougher. Those squats will kill me. And let's not talk about the plank, it's torture. :))

The 30 Day No-FacebookChallenge: Failed.

Yeah. I know. I suck. :))

If there's anything I missed about Facebook, it's the constant communication I have with my friends. I have Viber, yes, but it's not the same.I've also learned not to talk about serious issues on Facebook (I just had an argument with someone within five minutes of activating, ugh.)

So, from now on, I'll be on Facebook, but not really.

Maybe I should do the 30 day no water challenge instead or something, that's tolerable :|

The 30-day No Facebook Challenge: Day 7

My boss asked me if I still get enough sleep, because I'm still posting pictures on Instagram at 6 in the morning. Yikes.

It's really nice to come home to a clean house. Kusabi rearranged the apartment so it looks spacier and cleaner now. Although the bed and the laptop are now at opposite sides of the room.

Hungry talk: I want to cook carbonara again! With butter and bacon this time. Kusabi commented that I can do anything if I just put my mind into it. I said, maybe it's my ultimate calling to be a world renowned chef! "I..wouldn't really go that far.." he answered. Pfft. :))

One whole frickin week of no Facebook. I feel like I'm a total hobo now.


If you guys wanna talk to me, I'm on Skype most of the time, so add me up and feel free to stare at my awesome display picture.

The 30-Day No Facebook Challenge: Day 6

Midnight Channel is making progress with our lineup for an upcoming gig! It's a totally new experience for Kusabi and me so we're pretty excited!

Here's what we've come up so far. We're huge Zelda fans so this is a really obvious choice. Check it out!

Soundcloud: Legend of Zelda Main Theme (Drumstep Mix)

I'm excited to do this live. We're arranging another remix this week. It's a medley of sorts, and it's from a famous RPG series. Can you guys guess what it is?

Wow, I survived a whole week without Facebook. I wonder if I can still keep doing this.

The 30-Day No Facebook Challenge: Day 5

It's so unbearably hot, I think I took a bath four times today. So excited to see the water bill this month. :/ But this heat has given me another motivation to go to work everyday (apart from the money, and my daily dose of Nescafe Iced Coffee).

Kusabi's birthday is coming up in four days and I still don't know what to give him. I suck at this.

I did nothing but play Biz Builder Delux this morning. How productive. But I'd still say it's less stressful than scrolling on Facebook the whole day.

The 30-day No Facebook Challenge: Day 4

It kinda feels like I'm still posting on Facebook, but in non-coherent blog form. Oh well.




I cooked carbonara on my own, from scratch! I didn't use ready-made sauce this time so I'm pretty proud of myself. I used margarine instead of butter though (because I can't find butter anywhere near our place)

I'm active on Viber guys! So if you know my number, let's spam each other with stickers! :3

I'm always online on Skype too, so you can add me up there. Username is jazz_psyche

The 30-Day No Facebook Challenge: Day 3

This challenge is really hard during rest days. Ugh. But the positive effects are slowly creeping in.

Since I rely on my FB feed for news,(I'll be all like, "Uy nabasa mo ba sa Facebook?") I have totally no idea what's going on out there anymore. That's a good thing I guess? Because the last thing I need right now is to dwell on trivial trending stuff. If there's anything trending right now, I would probably not know about it. And I don't really care, haha.

I spent my whole Saturday playing Valkyrie Profile on emulator and sleeping. I slept for 12 hours, wtf. It didn't feel good, and I wasted half of my rest day already. Oh well.

Some people added me on Google Plus! Hey guys! *waves* I'm not active on G+ either, but blogspot is automatically crossposting all blog posts.

It's Kusabi's birthday next Friday! At least I get to celebrate something without posting it on Facebook. High five yo.

PS: I'm still mindlessly scrolling through my Instagram. Don't judge, I'm working on it. :))

The 30-Day No Facebook Challenge: Day 2

The whole day, whenever I thought or heard of something witty, I said to myself, "I'm going to post this on FB later... Oh."

Damn. I thought this was easy.

On the plus side, I went to bed early yesterday, so that must be something positive, yeah? I still stared mindlessly at my phone scrolling through Instagram instead though. That's not cheating, right? I mean, it's technically still not Facebook. Bwahaha.

A few people messaged Kusabi asking me where I am already. And my mom even called us up asking what's going on. Guys, I'm perfectly fine. This is called soul searching. I think. Haha.

On another negative note, our new band Midnight Channel just uploaded our first cover, but since I don't have Facebook (and Kusabi only has 251 friends, lame hahahah) it's kinda hard to promote. So I gotta say, I'm lacking social media power (if I even have that) at the moment. Kusabi left his Facebook page open so I can post the video and come up with a description for it. That's the only thing I did on Facebook, I swear. :))

...Okay, I scrolled a bit, out of habit, but I stopped myself before I went any further. Pat on the back, y'all!

Speaking of our video, Imma post it right here for you guys! According to my page view counts, some people are still viewing my blog, so yey. Now watch this because we are awesome ohohoho.

That's it for today! It's my rest day so let's see if I can still keep this craziness up. 

Off to play Valkyrie Profile on emulator yippeeeeeee!

The 30-day No Facebook Challenge: Day 1

For the first time ever, I have deactivated my Facebook account.

It was originally done for a different purpose, but I have decided to take a break from Facebook for a while. I have realized that I have wasted countless hours on it, and it has consumed almost my entire social life. I have valuable friendships to keep and I don't need Facebook to maintain that relationship. (and as I have always pointed out, Facebook is an evil place.)

I will be blogging everything here, and will come back after 30 days. I will still be active on Instagram, Skype and Viber (once I figure out how to use that damn thing) so you can contact me there.

So. Here goes nothing.

The 30-day No Facebook Challenge: Day 1

There isn't much to report right now since it's just starting. I had an argument with two of my best friends (which started this whole craziness in the first place) and I sent both of them text messages saying how sorry I am and have acknowledged that I am at fault, which they have accepted and replied to. I hope when I come back after 30 days, I won't start these silly arguments again.

I will miss you, beautiful girlies.*kisses both of you*
