My Favorite Workout Channels on YouTube

Even before the pandemic I always workout at home. I'm more comfortable doing exercises at home and as you know my job requires me to sit down for long hours. I manage my job and workout time for the whole week. I exercise 4 or 5 times a week in between my job. I found many workout videos on YouTube that I am gonna share to you. Here they are!

PAMELA REIF

She is the first one on my list because I love her workouts! She has many kinds of exercises but I am fond of her Dance Workout Videos! I used to do a lot of HIIT workouts but they are so hard and sometimes I don't have much time to do them. Almost everyday I dedicate 15 to 20 minutes of exercise. Her dance workouts are all in one! They are full body workouts already and she has different kinds of music to choose from. My favorites are: 

10-minute Love Dance Workout. 

It will start slow but eventually move up the rhythm. She loves squat holds and has a lot of steps so I'm loving it! Also this is just for 10 minutes so sometimes I can do another quick workout after.

10-minute RnB Dance Workout.

I also love this. I like RnB music and she picked really great songs on this. They are fun to do and you can sweat a lot!

BLOGILATES

Next on my list is Blogilates. She is actually one of my very first workout video channel that I subscribed to. She has a lot of workout videos. She has a lot of workout for different parts of your body from abs, legs, butts and of course arms. My most favorites are her arms and squats workout:

Sexy Toned Arms Workout

My favorite arm workout! I've done this maybe a thousand times. I even did this every night and everyday before. When I want a quick arm workout I do this. It burns a lot I tell you.

Plie Squat Challenge

This is the most challenging squat workouts I have done. But hey I love it! At first I couldn't do the entire workout without losing my balance but in the next few tries I was able to do it without falling. But of course my legs were trembling almost throughout this workout. Try this!

I have tried her other workouts too. She loves to do challenges. Now I am trying her 1000 ab challenge

Her next workouts are in her app. So I also downloaded them here.

BODY PROJECT

Next one is Body Project. I did this before but most of their workouts requires 30 minutes or so. But I love the energy and motivation that Daniel and Alex are doing. They are doing mostly low impact HIIT workouts. These are my favorite vids of them: 

Low impact 20 minute HIIT workout 

This workout is pretty good and a bit challenging. I loved doing this and if your trainers are like them you will surely press the button every time!

H20 plan workout 2

Another difficult workout but it is a great full body exercise. After doing this you will feel tired but relieved at the same time.

They have so many kinds of workout plans on their site and they are good motivators. In fact I joined their group on Facebook.

HOLLY DOLKE

Next is Holly Dolke. She has so many kinds of exercise programs. Most of them are short but burning. She recently had a baby but wow she is pretty strong and got back to shape so quickly! These are few of  my favorites:

Indoor Walking Workout (15 minutes) / Indoor Walking Workout (20 Minutes)

These 2 workouts are not just walking but they include different types of workout. From planking, cycling to lunges. They are just for 15 minutes and the other is 20 minutes but you can feel the burn after.

Tone Your Arms Workout - No Equipment 

Another arm workout. This is intense but I tried it a couple of times. Arms feel sore after but it feels really good. She also has good aura and she motivates me a lot!

CHLOE TING

Next on my list is my sister's favorite. She suggested me this and I've tried some of her workouts. She is full of energy and super strong. I love her HIIT workouts. They are not simple to do but they are short so it is a big yes for me. My favorites are these:

15 Mins Full Body FAT BURN Workout | No Jumping | Beginner Friendly

I did this a lot before. It was intense but it targets the whole body. So I really liked it. I don't do this now but I will try it again in the next few days.

15 min Intense HIIT for Fat Burn | Standing & No Equipment

I'm loving this HIIT workout because she has a beginner friendly version. I did all the easy ones at first but tried the harder workouts after a few days. It's really good.

I also tried her other workouts so try them too!

EMI WONG

Emi Wong is also my favorite. She is super strong also and I am loving her workouts. I don't do them a lot now but sometimes I would, if I see her new workouts. A lot of her workouts are difficult for me to do especially the full body workouts but she has lots of them so feel free to try what's best for you. These are my favorites:

BEST 15 min Beginner Workout for Fat Burning (NO JUMPING HIIT!!!)

This is one of the first HIIT workouts that I have tried. Maybe I did this for a month or so everyday. It is easy but can burn a lot. If you are starting HIIT, this is a must.

10 MIN STANDING ABS WORKOUT

The problem with me is my tummy. I sometimes do abs workouts but most of them require to have a mat. So I really love the standing abs workout. This is quite easy but it is effective. I can feel the burn. It also has a lot of stretch so it is very nice!

MADFIT

Madfit is next. She has abs to die for and her workouts are killers. She has lots of different workouts. She is doing a lot of Dance Workouts like Pamela Reif. I love dance workouts because there is no talking just dancing. I like her 15 minutes set of Dance Workouts:

15 MIN 90's DANCE PARTY WORKOUT

I'm a 90's kid so I love the songs here. She is doing a lot of different exercises like lunges or squats and of course arms.

15 MIN DANCE PARTY WORKOUT

The set of songs here are great so you will workout with full of energy. So I also recommend this.

I have a lot more workout channels but I don't visit others anymore. But next time I will do a part 2! I hope you can do these workouts like I do. Exercising is important especially if we are always stuck at home. I feel really good after a great workout. I hope this helps! Till my next post! See yah!

I'M BACK!

After 10 long years I decided to blog again. Actually I wanted to go back to blogging many times before but I just always didn't push through. But now I decided to come back again and with things in mind. I'll be sharing things about my favorite things to do during the quarantine period and also things about my work. I am looking forward to sharing many things with you! See yah!

Happy Birthday Nicole!

Today is my Niece's 3rd birthday. She is my sister's daughter and the kid I am taking care of whenever my Sister is at work. She calls me Ninang because I am also her godmother during her baptism.

We just celebrated her special day in my cousin's house. Then went to Trinoma and then went home. Her Dad bought a cake and we ate it during dinner time.

Her party will be on April 2, which will be a swimming / children's party. I made the invitation card (on the left) for her party. I will make a post for this probably next week. So watch out.

This is just a quick post to greet her on my blog.

Hope you'll continue to be a good, sweet, friendly and independent kid. Please lessen your tantrums and don't argue with me when I am correcting you. :)) Please remember that me, you mom, your dad, lolos, lolas, titas, titos, ates and kuyas are always here to guide and love you.

Till my next post! See yah!

Be fashionable everywhere

Sorry If I haven't posted this past few days because I am so busy with my online business. Speaking of my business, I really want to open up my own business since I was a kid but I want a restaurant / food business that's why I took up BSHRM as my course. But then I was also passionate about being fashionable. I am not into too expensive clothes but rather a trendy one. Everywhere we go and we do, we should look presentable and good.

Even in different places like hospitals, they wear uniform such as nursing scrubs and scrubs tops. One can be distinguish by the clothes that he/she wears. When it comes to these things nowadays, there are so many online stores that you can shop. Considering the busy work schedules and overcrowded shopping malls, you don't have to go there. Buying online is the easiest thing nowadays but make sure that so choose the sites you will buy from. Till my next post! See yah!

Christmas Celebration

December has been my busiest month so I only had a few post. Probably because of the "Simbang Gabi," christmas preparation,  and my christmas bazaar which I had posted the last time. I will share the highlights of what I had been up to during this season.

I attended 2 more christmas parties; Last December 5 with the whole LCM main parish which was held in the house of our fellow Member. We had games, exchange gifts and eat lots of foods. Too bad I lost the pictures for the LCM party. The other was last December 22 with my longtime "barkada", a lunch out in one of the american restaurant in Trinoma. We ordered so many that we hadn't eaten it all. We had to take out our left-overs. We also had our exchange gifts. Since we were only 4, we strolled the mall afterwards. I also don't have a picture of it because it has not been posted by the one who has the camera.

During Christmas eve, we had tacos, barbecue and wine. My Sister and I were the one who were able to wait until the midnight. My Uncle and niece fell asleep early. lol. When the Christmas day arrived, we prepared lunch and invited our cousins. My Sister cooked Pasta in oil and hungarian sausage, sauted vegetables and roasted chicken. I took picture of it:

During that day, we have been invited to a dinner with the godmother of our cousin. We brought pasta and roasted chicken over to add to our menu.

Last December 27, we attended the marvelous wedding of my Sister's friend. My Niece was one of the flower girl so I was able to join them. The wedding took place at the Manila Cathedral then the reception was in Manila Peninsula. This are a few of the pictures I have taken during the said event:

 

 

These are the few of our pics. I took a video of the entourage and the wedding vows but I decided not to post it here.

The next day, December 28, me, my two cousins and my niece went to our Uncle in Pasig to celebrate my late Grandfather's birthday and at the same time have a family reunion. Afterwards, we went to The Fort in high street for a quick window shopping.

That's pretty much all the highlights I have done. I should have posted them separately but when because of too much stress I wasn't able to do so. I had to post this all before the year ends. Later we will say goodbye to 2010 and say hello to a new year full of hope and prosperity.

I hope you enjoyed your Christmas as much as I did. Advance Happy New Year to all! Cheers! Till my next post! See yah!

Show off our Christmas Tree

Our Christmas Tree

Since it is already December, we all know that Christmas is around the corner. Most of us already decorated our house with christmas decors and of course Christmas Trees! I thought of making a list of the bloggers who want to join. I did almost all the decors here with the help of my niece. Then my uncle put the lights on it.

If you want to join me, all you have to do is take a picture of your Christmas Tree and make a post about it. Grab the link code at RiA's wOrLd and then add the URL of your actual blog post containing a picture of your christmas tree. Links that do not contain the related post about the topic will be deleted. Come and join us for a Christmas fun. Let us see who has the best decor at our place.

If you know others who would like to join, please tell them about this post. It will close at the end of December so you still have time to join in. The more the merrier! Till my next post! See yah!

Christmas is in the air

Tomorrow will be December 1 and during this time of the year we will soon be celebrating Christmas day. Here in the Philippines, Christmas starts during the ber month but not all of us don't decorate that too early.

Yesterday, my churchmates and I celebrated our Christmas party. Why is it so early? Because we will all be busy in the following days especially during the "Simbang Gabi." We were supposed to be celebrating our party in Tagaytay but our van went crazy and started to have problems last Sunday. So we had to cancel the travel.

So we celebrated it in the house of our fellow member. We were assigned with different foods and drinks. We had a great lunch!

All were happy and chitchatting. We also had our exchange gifts.

During our snack we had ice cream

 Then we went to another house of one of our member. We went there to have a videoke. We had a great time too, we sang, danced and had red wine :))

I think it was a blessing that we did not went to Tagaytay after all. My cousin said that the rainfall was hard during that day. We will not have much fun as we did here so it is good. But we will visit and plan again our trip to Tagaytay.

Next week, we will have another Christmas party but with a bigger group. This time all other areas in our main church will be there. I will post it here soon. Till my next post! See yah!

A Year after the Tragedy

Today marks the year after a devastating Maguindanao Massacre. Until now, the case is unresolved because the suspects were powerful and almost all the witnesses were gone. They were also good friends with the past administration, but now that we have the new government, this is the time to make them pay for what they have done. The hearing should be publicly seen so that everyone may know that the judgment is fair. They have done a very heinous and animalistic crime, they should be punished with death penalty. Let us whisper a little prayer for the victims. May True justice prevail. Till my next post! See yah!

Gift ideas for the christmas season

Christmas is near again and as we all know it is another time of the year where we celebrate a feast for our Lord. Christmas is not complete without gift giving. I will give tips and ideas on what to give to your loved ones:

• You should know what the person really wants. If he/she is fond of let's say accessories, give him/her a great kind of accessory.
• Shop ahead of time. If you happen to go to a mall as early as today, find a gift now. You don't want to be rushing to the mall near the christmas day.
• Clothing are pretty much hard to gift if you really don't know the size of the person you are giving it to. If you are really not sure of it, try to buy things that he can use.
• If you don't have time to shop or doesn't want to go to the mall. Try buying in online stores. There are a lot of great products in the internet now like the Limoges which offers great Limoges Figurines.
• List the names of the persons you are going to give a gift. By doing this, you can budget your money and never miss someone on your list.
• Personalize your gift. Add a touch of note or you can do the gift wrapping by yourself. In that way, the gift is unique and special to the one who receive it.

It is not about how expensive your gift is,  it is how you remember the person you are giving it to. We should be thankful for all the things we receive. As for me, I really can't wait for that day. So till my next post! See yah!

8th Time World Championship Victory for Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao

Our fellow Filipino pride Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao got his 8th World Championship Title for defeating Antonio Margarito on the 12th round by a unanimous decision. As I was watching it through the streaming video, I was amazed by the fight. Although Pacman throws great big punches to Margarito's face, Margarito managed to fight back Manny and cornered him a few times. During Pacman's interview, he said he was also hurt in the body and in his face. During the 5th round Margarito's right cheek was so bloody that his right eye got affected. There were a few times that the referee would check up on him if he could still see. The final score was 108 - 120 of course in favor of Pacquiao! Congrats Manny! You brought again another victory for our country! I'm proud to be "Pinoy!"

Got my GCash Card!

This morning I finally got my Globe GCASH Card! I'm very excited about getting this because I was the one who designed my own card! Yes you can create your own card design if you are a photoshop addict like me. haha. If not, you can choose from their default designs which are also great and cute.

If you also want to apply, here is what you have to do: *Your GCASH should have at least P100 (processing fee of your card)

• Go to the GCASH Cash Application Form website of Globe.
• Upload your own personalized background or choose from their default designs.
• Fill up the personal details and upload your 1x1 I.D. picture.
• Once you have checked and filled up the necessary information needed, click Get your GCASH Card. Wait for a few minutes and you will get a reference number.

That's it! All you have to do is wait for at least 2 weeks. I got mine for about 3 weeks I think because of the Holidays. But it's worth the wait. The design is not so perfect because I chose a dark one the color went purple instead of Dark Blue. But it looks good though for an ATM. So till my next post! See yah!

Banana and Peanut Butter Pancakes

I forgot to post this yesterday because I am busy with my new site. Once again we had another yummy snack yesterday.

I don't really know how to call it so I ended up calling it banana and peanut butter pancakes. You might not see the banana and the peanut butter because it is inside the pancake. There is a cream on top and a drizzle of chocolate syrup. It really tastes great and nutritious too because of the banana.

It took picture of my Niece again during her first bite of this. She enjoyed it!

Till my next post! See yah!

Fishcake with cheese dip

Here I am with another yummy post! My sister made a fishcake while I made the cheese dip.

The fishcake consists of wheat crackers we have in our fridge, tuna flakes, pepper and salt to taste, baking powder and paprika. I was the one who deep fried it. The cheese dip is made out of butter, garlic, mayonnaise, salt and pepper to taste and lots of cheese!

At first I nearly burnt the garlic haha. So the color is like that but it tastes so good that we bought chips to dip it on! Here is our taste tester, my Niece! haha

Yum yum! Till my next post! See yah!

Medical Fashion

Yesterday, we went to the hospital for a check up for my niece. She had an injury on her left foot. There I noticed that most of the medical staff are not wearing complete medical scrubs. They have the nursing uniform scrubs but they don't have hats to cover their hair. I have seen a doctor who is not wearing any uniform at all. I thought he was a patient at first but he was a surgeon at the E.R. I think one must wear proper and fashionable uniform being in a profession like that.

Although they have stressful times at the hospital with all the patients coming in and out, they also have to look attractive to others. They should consider buying scrubs online for their medical practice. Even if they have a busy schedule it is just with the touch of their hands. Till my next post! See yah!

Yummy experimental snack

My sister loves inventing food. If you are reading my blog, I posted some of her inventions in the past. She makes what is in our fridge and invents some delicious treat once in a while.

Today, she invented another yummy food for our snack today. It is a homemade crepe (made from pancake) with tuna, cheese, basil leaves and tarragon leaves inside. We just garnished cheese and basil leaves on top. I helped a bit with picking up leaves on the plant of herbs that we have in our garden and I grated the cheese. haha.

It tasted so great! I even took a picture of my Niece while she is eating it.
Pancakes are good and if you are inventive or looking for some treats around your house, you can make different food with it. Till my next post! See yah!

Stay in Line

Have you attended concerts or events that are not fully organized? One way of organizing a big event is having a crowd control. Most of us wants to be first on the line so if there are ways to get to the top we will do it but it will only bring chaos to the place.

One way of doing this is adding stanchions, velvet ropes or barricades to the place. Once it has all of these  and with proper security, we will all have the time of our life and would all be accommodated and the event will turn great.

If you are planning on organizing an event consider this because you will never know what will happen to the place is there are no security.So till my next post! See yah!

Happy Birthday Dad!

Today is my Dad's 60th birthday! Gosh he is now a senior lol. I really hope that God would continue to bless and protect him from harm. I wish that he is here with us now to celebrate his special day. I emailed him already to greet him because he is working abroad. He called last week to check up on us, he said he would probably have a work during his birthday. We bought "pansit palabok","puto" and a cake for his birthday.

He is a very kind Father to us. Eventhough he is not here most of the time he makes sure that during his vacation here he spends a lot of quality time with us. He loves to cook different dishes for us. He loves to buy electronic gadgets and different things around the house. He is a movie fanatic (but sometimes he sleeps during a movie haha) he already watched tons of movies in different genre. He loves to read and research about something in the net. He loves watching national geographic and discovery channel. He walks so fast, so if you are walking with him, you will be left behind (LOL).

Happy Birthday Daddy! I wish you good health and happiness in your life. Please remember that we are here when you need us. Even if you are far away with us, we truly love you. I'm just a phone call / email away :) I love you! Thank you for being a great DAD!

Till my next post! See yah!

Happy World Teacher's Day

Today we celebrate the world teacher's day. Our Teachers are very important to us because through the years they acted as our second parents. Our school is our second home and we spent many hours studying lessons. Most of the teachers dedicate most of their time to their students so we should understand them if they are in bad mood. They are often misunderstood especially if they are strict or not so strict. It depends on their style of teaching. All they want is to inculcate their students the lessons that they will need because knowledge is the gift our parents can give to us.

To all my past teachers thank you for all those times you shared with us. Although not all of them now are still teaching I'm very grateful that I've met someone like them. I have learned many things from them and if not because of them, I will not graduate and be able to face the world with so many questions in my mind.

Nicole's Site Revealed

At last my Niece's site is finally done. This is a cute site that I made for my favorite Niece Nicole. This site is all about her, her photos and videos. It has a blog and you can leave a message in the chat corner. I designed its header and gave a cute background of her which looks like there are two borders. The colors are girly colors with shades of pink and violet. The text color is a bit dark to match the white background.

However, there are things that needed to be improved like the videos. I haven't categorize it yet. I will be doing it for the next few days of my spare time.

Since this site is new, I am looking for exchange link partners or sponsors for this site. If anyone is interested, you can leave your message on the contact form.

Don't forget to visit the credits section where you can find the list of my blogs and sites. I hope that you can leave comments and suggestions so I can improve the site more. If you like what you see, please don't hesitate to subscribe to the Blog's RSS Feed so you won't miss out the updates.

Before I forget, this is the site to visit Nicole Angela Rigby's Site. So till my next post! See yah!
