NUFFIES AND NUFFNANGERS AT PUNCH OUT BOXING GYM

Last night, the Nuffies and Nuffnangers went out for a boxing night at Punch Out in World Center Building, Makati. It's one of the activities of Nuffnang for its bloggers to bond together.

I've been encouraged by my long time friend to try this work out and I've watched her several times during her session in a gym in Kalayaan, Makati. But I never really got the time to go back and try it out so, here's my chance.

The whole experience was fun. This gym provides an instructor who teaches beat and rhythm while you box, along with the music. It's not like the traditional boxing class with a coach just like how they train Manny Pacquiao. This one's equally fun only with a different approach.

The beginners' session was just as intense and I felt like my endorphins are rushing in. I did not mind the sweat and the pain of every stretch, punch and crunch. I was just smiling all throughout the class.

I think now, I'm fully convinced that this is one work out I should consider enrolling. I was already thinking to plot a schedule for boxing work out and on top of that, how to continue my pole dancing class with my pole buddy. Think, think, think.

While I'm thinking how to sort things out, I'll leave you with these photos and if you're also thinking to try out a boxing class, you may want to check out Punch Out Boxing Gym.

And before I forget, thank you so much Punch Out for accommodating us last night. We really enjoyed your class. It was really fun!

THE LONG DAY IS OVER

Yes it was, and I managed to steal a few shots for my post by asking one of my colleagues to click the digicam for me before I go home. Yes, it was a long day and I guess there's also the period talking. The "visit" is drawing near and I can feel my body aching.

Then along with the "visit", I knew I would have an incredible mood swing and nausea. Oh my, I hate it. Anyway, I don't need to vent out how my day had gone crazy and lunatic. It's a given. I just hope that after that, I'll finally get to where I'm driving at.

Ok. So, to console my long, crazy day, I'd like to believe what people were telling me that I lost weight somehow because comparing from my previous photos (that I did not post anyway), I think I did and I'm liking it. Well, gaining weight and becoming heavy for my height were a few of my concerns that I need to attend soon. Maybe I was less concerned of really becoming big but more of becoming short because my shape was rounding up and unfortunately, I'm not endowed with the height that should somehow compliment the extra pounds. So there, thanks to daily client calls, I walk, I run, I hurry most of the time - my alternative to cardio and work out :) No, I'm not complaining. I just wish I have more time!

WELCOME THE LOVE MONTH WITH LBD

I feel extra inspired yesterday morning.  I wanted to dress a little bit not only because of the upcoming meetings for the day but also because I missed dressing up for my blog.  So I did.  LBD has always been a favorite.  I think I have a couple of posts on this dress accentuated with different accessories.  This time, with a layered necklace given to me last Christmas.  It's been a really long day and I failed to write a post last night when I arrived at my apartment.  It's been really late and all I could do was lay down in bed after attempting some "maarte" pose. 

I've been wanting to buy a tripod and a new digital camera.   First, because it's hard to get pictures when you try to get one for yourself.  And second, I'm borrowing this digicam from my bro since I started blogging and I want to give it back.  So there, it's on my list for 2012 plans.  So far, I only have 1 item checked out of too many! :)

More love to life,

ISOLATED RAIN SHOWERS

Just a quick post before I sleep. This maybe the first isolated rain showers that we have experienced for the year 2012. Weather forecast said it's because of the cold front. Well, it was refreshing after a very hot morning. But my flats became oh so wet! And this pic is not as decent as I tried to do it. Suddenly, I miss my blogging buddy. It's been a year that I'm missing posts. Oh well, God knows how I will tried each day, but I just can't just keep up with it.  Blame it on work. Oh no, I'm not complaining! I love my job, really! :)

By the way, I also said goodbye to this cow-girl inspired skirt (with a very sad face). The accessory was torn and I had to take it out. So you'll notice I don't have it anymore on this post.

Now I'm wondering what to do with the pieces of rings and threads??? Any suggestion?
