Two cents on Health Ironies and a Major Overhaul

When was the last time I was here?

Well my dear blog, a lot of things has changed since my last article. In fact, I have this plan of reworking you, a few changes on the side wouldn't hurt, won't it?

(Actually in my head, I'm planning a major overhaul of this thing; the feel, the content, the design. It's time to say goodbye, but that's not happening anytime soon since my laptop, Bibi, was never revived, and I would have to replace her - but I don't have the money yet.)

Anyway, so last Friday I spent my dinner with two of my office mates. I was supposed to eat kilawin and rice; however, the fatigue overrode my hunger and I just wanted to sleep. Out of respect, I waited for my office mates to finish eating their.. well... "dinner." One ate palabok, the other ate spaghetti and chocolate cake. I didn't get the spaghetti and chocolate cake part, but my officemate assures me it's a normal thing: "ganito kaya talaga, parang kiddie party lang."

I totally didn't get that. So far nobody has bought my idea about completing food molecules. People at the office often notice how voracious I eat, but I never got fat. I keep telling them that the reason why I don't get fat is because I eat a lot. Nobody took that seriously.

Well it does sound illogical, but if you're a chemist, you'd understand that when eating a lot, you're giving your body enough nutrients to create an energy molecule. Energy molecules are what the body expenses on daily activities. Everything left behind become waste, or worse, fat, that gets stored in the body in case you will be eating something else later that can make it a complete energy molecule...

Hmm, okay I'm no nutritionist, but that's the way I see it. On the other end though, you keep eating complete molecules and create a lot of energy, but you don't use it, you'll end up fat the same. So my mantra in health, eat right and exercise.

Just my two cents.

-major overhaul coming up! ... in a few months. hehe-
