Some of the Websites I Enjoy Using

The internet is such a huge place and there are so many websites to be a part of. Although I wanted to join each one, I decided to only sign up to be a member of a few. That's because I thought to myself, "I don't have enough time to check on everything. Maybe having some social accounts will suffice." And that worked for me. Instead of connecting to whatever page I could think of or was suggested to me, I went ahead and chose only to stick to some sites. WordPress . It's my main blog site where I post about things that I think could help people out. It's what I use to keep and share useful information plus store memories for future review. It's got a nice interface to it. The dashboard that it has helps a lot, much like here in Blogger. With it, it's easy to customize and also write content to distribute online. Facebook . I use it to chat, get some thoughts out, and also see what people are up to these days. I know it's been under fire for quite

Arguing with People Online

         You have to be firm with your decisions. Because of that, when you say something online through comments, you've got to stick to what you started. You have to understand that there's no pleasing everybody and you'll likely get ideas rejected since you've no control over what folks think. Despite this, you ought to continue to speak your mind. You've full control over yourself.         Of course, you must be considerate. But disagreements are bound to happen and you might be compelled to be confrontational. Be brave enough to persevere. Let your ideas remain as they are. Don't bend to anyone's will because in doing so you establish your identity. You have to be strong. People who've succeeded in different industries didn't reach their position by merely tagging along. They're the ones who should inspire you to grow and become stronger. Do what they do and stand by your thoughts and principles.         Haters are going to hate you, no matt

Me and My Arnis

               I've been practicing arnis since the beginning of the first quarantine period. And, so far, my skills improved a lot. So what do I do every day? I have this routine that I follow which helps me maintain my grip, forms, and strength.                My gripping force improved because I swung the sticks many times using both hands. How many repetitions, you ask? I do 50 strikes to different parts of the body, per set, and do 10 sets each. That makes 500 times per hand. Of course, people mentioned to me that I went overboard but I doubt it. That's considering what other serious martial artists do to enhance their skills.                I don't count how many hits my punching bag takes when I do impact striking. I only feel the force that I deliver and hold on to the sticks harder. I don't even mind the sounds that I make too. What's important is my determination to hit the points which are inside of my target.                Do I rest? Yes, without questi

How I Work on My Physique This Time

              Well, you can't go to the gym nowadays so there's no other choice but to do workouts at home. But that's alright. I've no problems with the idea. I've been doing it for the longest time, anyway. Besides, I have some free weights, handlebars, and exercise programs to use.               Even if I know that you need to rest, as part of my routine, I do some lifting on-the-daily. I can honestly say that I do supersets and many of them until I feel worn out. Is it healthy? I don't think so. Not entirely at least, I mean. But it seems to be helping me get in shape and become stronger faster. Unlike before, I can now do the military press many times and with weights that I'd classify as extra heavy. I don't want to disclose numbers, though. Still, I do bodyweight exercises. Push-ups, dips, and planking, to be exact. Yet, to really take it up a notch, I've made it a part of my routine to also throw some punches and kicks. Unfortunately, I only
