Expect the Totally Unexpected!

Just awhile ago, we had a Young Men Activity outside the Riyadh center, and when got out of the Riyadh center, there are things you wouldn't think that exist in this parts of the world, but I must say I am totally amazed by it.

Just a couple of weeks earlier, we had a caving activity, where I've never thought that there is, oh wait, THERE ARE SOME FEW CAVES IN THIS COUNTRY! I've heard of the Hofuf Cave, but I haven't been there, so I thought that that cave is the only cave in the country. But when I heard about an activity from the week before we had that one, I was totally surprised that there are some caves in here! And for the record, they are not the type of caves that you would think of, but you would see that they're there! And another thing, THEY HAVE WATER! UNDERGROUND WATER!!!! ISN'T THAT AMAZING?! I know that I may sound really ignorant, but I am easily amazed, just like a kid watching Power Rangers.

Another thing that really put the heck out of me, is the lake we've been. What is very interesting about the lake, is that it only appears once in a blue moon. What I mean is that it only gains water when there is a very heavy rain, just like in the past few weeks. And another interesting fact about that lake, its inhabited by what they call tadpole shrimps. Yes, tadpole shrimps. When the time our dearly beloved leader announced the activity of that one, and saying that there are creatures that can live without water for a very long period of time. I first thought of mud skippers, because that is what I was imagining at that moment. But when we arrived in our designated place, and we went down to the shore of the lake, we first noticed the creatures that lives there, and they are the tadpole shrimps. THEY ALL LOOK FUNKY AND SCARY!!! When I saw they, I got goosebumps because they looked like they lived in the times of the dinosaurs, well, it's their species that lived BEFORE the time of the dinosaurs. But even though it was all freaky and such, it was still fun.

Despite all the bad things people think about Saudi Arabia, there would always be something good about. No matter what it is.

Lady GaGa!

Well, my friend, Jacob told me if I write something about Lady GaGa, he would read my blog. I don't know if I will take that one as a recommendation or a suggestion, because I am totally confused!

Anyways, I still got to do this. And I will take that one as a recommendation.

Lady GaGa,  known for her at-most popping music, totally controversial dance moves, and awfully surprising fashion get-up, not to mention her sudden plastic surgery that gave her a totally different look, is one of the most famous artist from the start of the year. Popped out last 2008, Lady GaGa showed to the people that she has something, and she totally did. At the end of the year, she topped the hit listers with no longer than 6 months! (I guess that is right, but if it's wrong, don't hesitate to leave a comment.) And at the next year, she stunned the people with her catchy music and brow-raising music videos. But despite of all those highly controversial actions on live performances, connotative gestures, and unbelievable outfits, behind all those things is a very humble, down-to-earth, and friendly Lady GaGa. And I must say, she has the guts to show who she really is! Despite the criticism, the  insults, and high untrue gossips about her, she just let them do their thing and she does her thing. How about that for an artist?!

We may see her as a insane, half-naked, sexually active, provocative person, but the inner her still prevails.

I may not be a fan, but I must admit I like her songs. And I think that she is one heck of a person! Lady GaGa, you're the GURL!

The Start of a Diet

At the start of the year, I've decided to go on a diet.

Yes. A diet!

Seriously, I am overweight. I may not look like one, but in our family. I have reached my limit. I currently weigh about 71 kg. In pounds in weigh 156.2 lbs. For my height and age, it's not good.

I may not look like I am an obese person, but my sickness are showing up. And my parents are the ones who are scared for me.

For them to stop being scared, I have decided to go on a diet.

So the diet that I decided is made by myself. And it's called "JUST DRINK WATER AT THE DAYTIME DIET!".

I know sounds really stupid, weird, or anything else you have in mind, but I think this may work really well. I started it last week though. And I must say, there are so many changes that I saw.

First one is that, my tummy, or I might call it "THE BEER GUT", is somewhat starting to lose. What I meant it that its slowly disappearing.

Second, my eating habits at night changed drastically. One proof is that I eat my dinner in small amounts, and I don't eat at the mid-night too.

And lastly, it made me more productive than the times that I am not yet in a diet.

I think that this maybe the start of my new life though, after all the medical problems that I faced before.
And if I lose my weight and my excess fats, I can buy any types of clothes that I want!


From this day forward, I will continue this until I obtain my desired weight and figure!

But before this, let me start with an aimed weight. So, let's aim for a little bit lower, OK?

How about going for 4 kg. in a week?

That sounds reasonable enough. I better do more exercises, because a diet itself won't do.

I have to do it now!

So! OFF WE GO!!!!

Happiness!

I can't believe this is happening to me!

To start with, my dad and my three little siblings went on a vacation back in the Philippines. And so, we, the older children of our dad, left us here, in Riyadh.

ISN'T THAT GREAT?!

Like, we can do everything we want! (Except getting into troubles!)
I RULE THE TELEVISION!
I AM OFTEN LEFT ALONE AT HOME!
I LEAVE THE DIRTY DISHES ALONE FOR HOURS AND HOURS!
I CAN SING AND DANCE WITH ANYONE LOOKING OR JUDGING !
I HAVE NO ONE TO FIGHT OVER AN INTERNET CONNECTION! ( THE GREATEST ONE!)

This is totally unbelievable!

And another thing.

I can go to places that I want to without worrying about my little siblings!

This may sound really stupid, but I think it doesn't.

I just learned how to ride a two-wheeled bike!

I can't believe that I made it through!

THIS HAPPINESS IS OVERFLOWING!

OH MY GOODNESS!!

I have never been this happy in my life!


And because I am happy, I LOVE YOU ALL!
