bmi

Body Mass Index

What is the importance of maintaining a "fit" body? Well, for the obese or overweight people are more likely than thin people to get certain diseases. Such diseases include appendicitis, cirrhosis, diabetes, coronary heart disease, and other diseases of the heart and blood vessels. The treatment of these diseases among the obese is also less likely to succeed. A fat patient with one of these diseases has a better chance of recovery if he or she loses weight. Obese people have more falls and other accidents than thinner people because excess weight slows people down and hampers coordination. Their recovery from injury is often difficult because surgery performed on them is dangerous. Excess weight cuts down freedom of movement, especially in the elderly, and thus can lower general health because of lack of exercise. The decreased freedom of movement in obese patients with arthritis also makes treatment difficult.

BMI = Mass (kg)/ Height^2 (m)
= 55.2 kg / (1.712)^2 m
= 18. 83
= I am underweight.

I think the BMI is a reliable indicator of a healthy body, but it does not mean that it is not the only reliable indicator if a person is of good health. A good indicator of someone in good health is if a person can do such strenuous activities or can undergo fitness challenges. There are a lot of good indicators of good health. It doesn't necessarily mean that it has to deal with certain equations or formulas. Given the BMI I have, I should start pounding up. Aside from eating a lot, exercise and playing sports are just some of the things I should start doing to gain a much healthier body. The things or habits I must put an end to are sleeping very late at night and saving money instead of using it to buy food for me. With these things kept in mind, I hope to attain the desired BMI of all and the BMI of a healthy, just right person.

im a mess

well... i feel like singing this song.


Strong /Robbie Williams [From Album : Ego Has Landed /I've Been Expecting You]Appear On Aor MV. Hits Volume 16

My breath smells of a thousand fags
And when I'm drunk I dance like me Dad
I've started to dress a bit like him

Early morning when I wake up
I look like kiss but without the make up

And thats a good line to take it to the bridge

And you know and you know
'Coz my life's a mess
And I'm trying to grow so before
I'm old I'll confess
You think that I'm strong you're wrong
You're wrong
I'll sing my song my song my song

My bed's full of takeaways and fantasies
Of easy lays
The pause buttons broke on my video
And is this real coz I feel fake
Oprah Winfrey Rikki Lake
Teach me things I don't need to know

And you know and you know
'Coz my life's a mess
And I'm trying to grow so before
I'm old I'll confess
You think that I'm strong you're wrong
You're wrong
I'll sing my song my song my song

If I did it all again I'd be a nun
The rain was never cold when I was young
I'm still young we're still young
Life's too short to be afraid
Step inside the sun

And you know and you know
'Cos my life's a mess
And I'm trying to grow

And you know and you know
'Cos my life's a mess
And I'm trying to grow

And you know and you know
'Cos my life's a mess
And I'm trying to grow

You think that I'm strong you're wrong
You're wrong
I'll sing my song my song

You think that I'm strong you're wrong
You're wrong
I'll sing my song my song

nay ur d best


this entry's special.. i dedicate it my mom.

jst moments ago, i was sitting on the couch watching the replay on the nba game between pheonix and dallas wherein my team, pheonix lost by two points.of course, ive already seen the live game hours before the replay aired. i dont really understandwhy, but somehow i was quite depressed.. something was bothering me at that point. well, whatever i was thinking at that time (damn!just 2 points...), it completelymanifested in my face.
going back,my parents just arrived from the office. so, i stood up from the couchand opened the gates for them. afterwards, i head back to the couch and continued watching attentivley to the game. upon entering the living room(where i was sitting like a bum in the couch), my mom saw me and suddenly came up to me and said:
"hunny may problema ba?"

i replied:
"uh? wala ma.."

she answered:
"you look sad.. u ok ha..?"

i replied:
"im jst watching tv ma...im ok..."

she answered:
"nagwo-worry ako sayo anak. ayokong nakikita kitang malungkot..u sure ur ok ha.."

i replied:
"i..i.. im ok.."

then she went straight to the dining room to take some dinner.
You may not understand me but when my mom said those few words, i alomost cried a tear. From that very moment when said those words until the time i finished the replay, alli can think about was how much do i really love my mom. Then I remembered all the things I did which hurt her the most. Among them, were my recent grades.. recalling the 2 failing subjetcsI had, those really hurt her. Now, i know why it hurts her. Its not because she spends theentire day working like hell to get me educated in a very expensive instution and i, in return, gives her 2 failing subjects. Rather it was because, she cares for me a lot. She cares aboutmy future, my life ahead, my dreams, my hopes and even my mistakes. That is why when said thosewords, "nagwo-worry ako sayo anak. ayokong nakikita kitang malungkot" natauhan ako. Natauhan akobecause Im so stupid. Natauhan ako because, I feel Ive done nothing but failure. Natauhan ako because, my mom loves me so much..but it seems that i dont return the same love she gives.

I love my mom. She means a lot to me. She doesn't know it but when she prepares breakfast for meor prepares my baon, it starts my day right..and it makes me smile almost the entire day. When Imsick, she would skip office just to stay with me at the house to comfort me.. and she dosen'tknow that it helps make me feel better when shes around. Or when she talks to me about things in life, she doesn't know it but all things she shared to me, i kept it all in my head and in my heart.I love her so much but my actions just dont speak the way my heart speaks.. I am guilty. Guilty to all my actions that hurt her which i didnt mean to.

If words are my only way to express how much I love my Mom, then I'll use it. I love you Mom.I might sound like Im not for real, but I am. I love you Mom. I love you so much..
