IF YOU’RE A WORK-OUT aficionado who just can’t impede doing barbell and dumb bell curls, pull-ups, and dips, then you might own the sleeve-splitting set of biceps and triceps.
Barbell curl is an exercise done by lifting a barbell of the appropriate weight from a standing position. Gripping it on both sides, putting your arms in a “curled position”, and retrieving it back repeatedly will complete the barbell curl exercise. The difference of this exercise from the dumbbell curl is that the latter uses an individual dumbbell (the smaller ones) for each arm, which may be performed alternately.
A lesson for tonight
ONE LESSON I HAVE learned in my life, as of 11:58 pm, is…
“Not all altruistic people are repaid with good rewards. Being kind doesn’t ensure you a good karma.”
“Not all altruistic people are repaid with good rewards. Being kind doesn’t ensure you a good karma.”
Sublimation as a Defense Mechanism
AT SOME POINT OF a person’s desire for sex, comes sublimation - transforming of an unacceptable impulse, whether it be sex, anger, fear, or whatever, into a socially acceptable, even productive form, this is according to Sigmund Freud.
The Social Learning Theory
“…FROM OBSERVING OTHERS ONE forms an idea of how new behaviors are performed, and on later occasions this coded information serves as a guide for action.” – Albert Bandura
This concept was formalized by the said source in his Social Learning Theory, which states that "Learning would be exceedingly laborious, not to mention hazardous, if people had to rely solely on the effects of their own actions to inform them what to do. Fortunately, most human behavior is learned observationally through modeling” (Bandura, 1977).

A lost actor
“THERE COMES A POINT in many people's lives when they can no longer play the role they have chosen for themselves. When that happens, they are like actors finding that someone (who) has changed the play.”- Brian Moore
Certificate and new contact lenses
JUST LIKE THE OCEAN reflecting the cerulean sky, my new contact lenses from Ideal Vision are three-toned that the most dominant one among the tones, perhaps, is blue (because it’s what the label indicates).
Tumblebugs and Diablo
I’VE BEEN PLAYING A computer game almost the entire day since I got home. I tried playing Tumblebugs. I know I’m too late to learn this for now; however, it isn’t arduous to learn the rules. I, somehow, discharged my stress by playing it.
I remember the last time I’ve ever played in a computer was when I was in Grade school. I was playing Diablo back then…
Uncertainty for my absence in OSCAS Night
THERE WILL BE LIGHTS flashing a prism-like brilliance. There will be emotions beating with the tempo of the dance. Tables shall be adorned with white linens and could, perhaps, also be festooned with balloons. I’ve always loved to attend parties like this one. But tonight, in our college night, I’m certain that I can’t make it; however, I’m uncertain of the reasons….
Annoying photo shoots
I WAS ACTUALLY TARDY for my photo shoot. I didn’t know that today would be the picture-taking for TOS winners and finalists. We had it in the AVR. When I arrived, it was Gypsy’s turn. Then I left for some moments and when I returned, it was my turn after Joejit’s (the USC President).
Gypsy said, “Oy yan si Al, magaling mag-emote sa picture yan… tignan mo man yung friendster niya.”

Confessions of a TOS finalist
I NEVER PLANNED TO join the Search for The Outstanding Students of AUF. If I won, I could have been like Zhang Ziyi in Memoirs of Geisha – everything was only fortuitous and I will get the heart of the panel by my charisma. If I lost, I could have been like Gong Li in the same movie – someone dethroned despite all approbations…
I’ve been thinking about this ever since I entered TOS. And I was bamboozled… Who among these characters will I play?

Where would be the next Luzonwide press con?
I RECEIVED THE NEWS this morning that the next Luzonwide press con will be in Pagudpud, Ilocos…
This very thrilling! I’ve always sought going to Pagudpud too. Well, just like in Palawan, there are beaches in Pagudpud. Anywhere where water and Earth meet is a place for my relaxation; I consider the beach as my Nirvana.
