This morning as I check the news at yahoo.com, I stumbled upon an article entitled "10 Ways to Get Fit While You're Glued to the Computer" by FatFighterTV.
The article suggests that there are ways to get fit while we do our work in front of the computer. I guess this is effective especially for people like me who has no time to go to the gym and somehow no extra cash to enroll. Give it a try, who knows it might work.
Below are the 10 ways mentioned in the article to get fit while surfing the net, doing photoshop, watching video, etc.
-------
1.Cyber Squats - Who says you have to sit when you're online? Set your chair aside for a few minutes and instead do squats as you cruise around the Web. I'm squatting right now as I write this - ouch!
Try these Shotgun Squats
2. RSS Raises – As you're sitting at your desk, straighten your knees and lift your legs out in front of you. Do this as you catch up on your favorite blogs on your RSS reader. What the heck is RSS?
3. 10 Minute Move it! Break #1 – Alternate jogging in place with jumping jacks – do a minute of each and repeat 5 times.
4. Twitter Tummy Tone - Tighten your abs for 30 seconds and then release. Do this as you tweet. Tweet me here
5. Social Squeezes – Tighten your glutes for 30 seconds and then release. (Good thing noone can see you at this social, right?) Repeat as you Stumble, Digg, or Friend on Facebook.
6. 10 Minute Move it! Break #2 – Grab a step stool and climb up and down – get creative if you like and alternate knee lifts at the top of the step. Or how 'bout a creative housecleaning workout break?
7. Inbox Incline - While you're sitting with your feet on the floor, raise your heels so you are on the balls of your feet and lower them. Make sure you can feel it in your calves. Do this as you read and reply to your emails.
8. 10 Minute Move it! Break #3 – Do walking lunges around the house or office. Want to make it more challenging? Add some weights and do bicep curls at the same time. Or try some of Jamie Eason's plyometrics moves
9. Blogger Breather - Grab a quick minute to just close your eyes and focus on your breath. Count to 10 as you slowly inhale through your nose, thinking positive thoughts. Exhale through your mouth, again counting to 10. This time release all the tension and stress out of your body. Repeat if you have a few more seconds.
10. Sign Off Stretches. Your neck and shoulders can get pretty tense when you sit at a computer too long. So loosen them up throughout the day with:
a) Shoulder shrugs - with your head at your chest, shrug your shoulders up and down.
b) Neck Rolls - relax your shoulders and let your head roll forward. Slowly rotate your head in a circle. Repeat five times.

and they added "Do these exercises throughout the day to avoid becoming a computer potato!"
Hope this help...

I was given the opportunity to become the resource speaker on Joomla seminar which was held at the Animation Lab of the Ateneo de Zamboanga University, 3rd day of March 2009. The coverage of the seminar was about the basic of Joomla such as, installing local server, installing Joomla, inserting articles, installing modules, templates and inserting menus, etc. The participants came from UZ, one of the universities here in Zamboanga city.
I would like to thank the ICT organizers for choosing me to be the resource speaker.
GOD BLESS...

Recently I sign up for an account at YouTube to upload my video that I created for the ADZU Guidance office for their annual Job Fair for the graduating college students. I thought uploading videos in YouTube would be easy and fast, but it was not. The process of uploading is easy but the UPLOADING PART WAS NOT FAST. I have 536mb video file in AVI format and a fast internet connection, and yet, it was more than 5hrs and the uploading part is not finished. I have to cancel several times because I have to go somewhere and cannot leave my PC open.
To solve my problem, I Googled my concern, "Upload Video in YouTube Faster". There were many result but I chose one solution that was best for me. Accordingly, the reason why it takes for YouTube to upload videos longer is that it CONVERTS video files to FLV which adds extra time for the uploading part. To make our uploading faster, we should CONVERT our video files to FLV first before uploading it to YouTube. With the use of Video Converters such as superC we can convert videos to FLV.
SuperC is a FREE FULL VERSION video and audio converter.
After converting my video to FLV, from a file size of 536MB, it went down to 6.12MB which made my uploading FASTER from unsuccessful of more than 5hrs to a less than a minute successful uploading. Indeed it was faster.
I wrote this to help NEW YouTube users to upload their videos FASTER. I hope this helped you. Thank you and GOD BLESS.

Chinese teen kills self when blind date turns ugly -- report
BEIJING -- A 17-year-old boy in northeastern China was so disappointed with the looks of a woman he met over the Internet that he hanged himself after seeing her face-to-face, state media reported Friday.
The unnamed teenager first contacted the woman -- known by her chat moniker "Qunjiaofeiyang", or "Flying Skirt" -- using the popular Chinese online messaging software QQ, Xinhua news agency said.
The girl described herself as a beautiful 19-year-old and the pair chatted on the Web for weeks before arranging a December 26 rendezvous in the nearby city of Mudanjiang, in far northeastern Heilongjiang province.
The boy arrived to discover the woman far less attractive than advertised and 10 years older than him, Xinhua said.
The boy immediately returned home, lost his appetite, and four days later hanged himself from a tree.

Original Post by Sir Renen at Renen's Photos and Other Stuff
When I was reading "Gary Granada vs GMA Network" written by Sir Renen and listened to Mr Granada's voice made me realize, this things also happens to big and known artist like him.If this happens to him, what more for those artist who are not known or just starting on this field.
Somehow I understand his feelings. There was one project that I made for a friend. He asked me to design his invitation, gave him the designs and he loved it. After a month or so, he gave me a copy of the invitation that I made, telling me many loved the design. But when I got the invitation, I was disappointed to find out, my design was not used but my elements are there. He says its my design but it was not. It was like if my elements are A,B, C,D,E and was arranged by ABCDE, he rearranged the design by EDCBA. But in fairness to my friend, he is not claiming that it was his design but it was very obvious that my design is not the same with the printed invitation. At first I felt insulted and disappointed, but I forgave that person already. After all, we are friends.
I hope by sharing this, you have also learned something. GOD BLESS.
