Balik Alindog Program: Hair Cut

Happy hump day! Midweeks are particularly dull so I decided to do something fun yesterday.

I was browsing through the TV channels a few weeks ago when I saw Joey Mead King in the latest Asia's Next Top Model. I don't watch the show because the contestants are boring (read: not as obnoxious and ghetto as Tyra's girls HAHAHA) and I dislike Georgina Wilson. She looks and sounds so fake. However, Joey, I like. I also love the hair she was sporting on the show. It was gorgeous on her! I was with my sister then and she urged me to cut my hair like Joey's. She said it would suit me. I was not sure because I do not have Joey's bone structure but I needed to cut off the dry ends and I wanted to do something badly with it because I was bored. Plus, I'm meeting Franco soon. hihihi E ano kung may MERS? #truelove HAHAHA KAINIS.

This is how I looked before going to the local salon. Not really awful but it was meh.

I wanted the curly parts from my Japan salon experience gone because they were dry and it was in an awkward stage. It was designed to be a wavy lob (long bob). Also, if I let my hair grow longer, I wouldn't have the guts to cut it short because sayang.

So, without further ado, I present my short hair. Ta-dah! HAHAHA As if.

My head feels so light and my hair feels so healthy! My Dad told me this morning during breakfast that I look like my Mom when she was a college student. HAHAHA OK

Overall, I like it. Franco likes it. My family likes it. Weee! Achieve! (Or it's just in my head but whatever. Still weee!)

How's your hump day?

Balik Alindog Program: Yoga

Today I learned that I don't know how to meditate. Surprise, surprise!

I live in the probinsya where, unlike in Metro Manila, we don't have a lot of gym and fitness studios. Fortunately, my workplace encourages health and wellness so we have a nice gym and sports facilities. Aside from that they offer a multitude of fitness classes, one of which is yoga. I attended yoga as much as I can but our teacher left the country and so we were left hanging. Yoga classes were postponed indefinitely and was replaced by Zumba. I have nothing against Zumba I just didn't feel the need to attend.

I was so happy when a co-worker's spouse offered to teach yoga to those interested recently. I immediately responded to her email and enlisted in her class. Then I wondered, why am so interested in yoga when it doesn't really make me lose weight or make my tummy flat? I can do sports or just hit the gym. Why yoga?

I attended the first yoga class today and it hit me while I was in the Sphinx position, I don't know how to relax and meditate. My muscles are always tense and I can't seem to just focus on my breathing and body. I kept opening my eyes and looking at the girls around me. Halfway through the class, I learned that I focus better when I count my breathing. However, as I get deeper and deeper into it, I felt so sleepy. The positions, the breathing, and the meditation are making me sleepy! I don't think it's ok to be sleepy while meditating and doing yoga. Am I right? Help me here, guys.

Anyway, I'm planning on attending her yin yoga classes regularly because I need to learn how to focus better and meditate properly. Plus, stretching my muscles and joints ain't a bad thing to do after a day's work. I'll update you on my progress next time. 

Here's to more yoga days! Wish me luck!
