HOW TO BE YOU PO?

1. 

Kadalasan na naitatanong sa akin ay bakit daw hindi ako tumataba?  First of all, I used to have good body metabolism during my teen years up to 20’s, even to early 30’s.  Ang bilis ko mag-burn ng calories, I easily produced sweats in simple work out or just by being in a continued active minutes.  Towards to my mid-30’s, I accustomed myself to natural diet thru eating less fats, red meats, processed foods and more fiber from veggies and bread.  I don’t diet religiously or by the book, I just make myself active and do not eat excessively.  It’s like I’m not a fan of sweet not because I am diabetic but it’s because I don’t like to become.  Today I practice “less quantity-more quality” foods. 

 

To top it all, it is really the excess amount of the foods we eat that makes our size.  When taking meals, maybe you don’t really need to have another plate – you can start from here.  Then later, maybe you don’t need to take rice three meals a day, or make it less rice-more dish.  And then consider the quality really matters.  Totoo, ang sarap kumain especially in the fine-dine in restaurants, the taste of the foods validates our taste bud, it makes our craving completed and this tempts us.  What did I do to get rid of the temps?  By putting on my mind that I don’t need to eat all these foods once I tasted.  I always stick to my vocabulary that once means once.

Another most frequent question that I receive is why I do not get crazy over the modern and high tech gadgets.  Bakit daw ayaw ko sumunod sa uso, bakit hind ako naeenganya?  For one thing, it is not my choice, I am not interested on it.  How I keep to stick on my choice is because I am not techie on the first place, I find it difficult to learn different apps and enjoy the games.  I am a bit old school.  Basic features of mobile are enough for me – that’s all and I appreciate this.  I am very simple person.  It’s not only in gadgets, I am not fan of things that I consider lavishness.  I don’t wear perfume, signature shirts and shoes are not big thing for me, vehicle is not my thing.  Why I can do these, it’s simply I chose to be simple.

Natanong din ako na bakit daw hindi ako nape-pressure sa pagpo-provide sa family.  When my mother was still living, I made her understand how much I can send from my earnings in a month, and I think this made my family back home to budget to make ends meet.  Bihirang nangyari, mabibilang sa daliri, yung nakatanggap ako ng message that telling me I need send again, the rest I send remittance once in a month on a regular basis.   

 

I am a person who follow budget.  I don’t go beyond my means.  If I need something, I have to save for it and when I have the enough amount, then I will buy it.  Sometimes kinakapos din ako na need ko manghiram., sometime I do have bad purchases, nagiging magastos din ako peroI make sure na babawiin ko on my next earning whatever lost I made.

Bakit daw palagi o kadalasan ok lang sa akin ang mga bagay-bagay?  This question has been asked to me more than enough to say many times.  Whenever I was asked about something not so good that happened to me, my responses are “it’s ok”, “I’m fine“, “no problem”, “not big deal”, “never mind”.  Instances like someone disappointed me, I did not receive what I wanted, an important thing is lost; in all these circumstances, I will say my answer “it’s ok”. 

 

It is easy for me to let them go.  Ang bilis ko ma-convince, ma-accept at baliwalaain na lang, not necessarily forget them.  There are things that take me quite long to get over but it will not take me more times to move on.  Why is that so easy for me is because I don’t like to keep extra baggage.  I am a believer of a dictum that says everything is happening for reasons. If it is not meant for me, so be it.  Kung hindi ukol hindi bubukol as the saying says.   If I did not get what I want, maybe it is a blessing in disguise to not make it happen.  If someone does something bad to me, I will just think it’s not my fault and it’s not me who has the burden.
