High-intensity interval training

While researching ways to shed off some of my fat before summer arrives, I came across this technique called HIIT, which stands for High-intensity interval training. It goes theory is this:

As opposed to running slowly on a treadmill for 30 minutes for cardio exercise, you can burn more fat and calories by alternating your cardio with 30 seconds of jogging and 30 seconds of sprinting for a much shorter period of time.

That sounds pretty good. The instruction says to start off your first week's training by doing this routine for only 4 minutes, and then slowly increase the interval by 1 minute after each week.

So 5 minutes ago, I went down to my gym, hopped on to the treadmill and began toggling the speed between 6 mph and 9 mph every 30 seconds. I could tell that the fat ladies next to me thought I was semi-psycho while they were slowly walking on their treadmills at less than 3.5 mph.

After 4 minutes I was done. On my way out of the gym I swear the people there had this "WTF" look on their face. It was pretty funny!

This is creepy

Hello Kitty becomes robot receptionist









According to the article:

The Nagoya-based agency is also offering the services of Ifbot, an elderly-care robot that chats and poses riddles and arithmetical problems to train the brain and help avoid dementia.

Yeah right. The elderly is suffering from dementia if he/she can't figure out that it is a robot that's posing the riddles and arithmetical problems!

I feel like singing again

NOoOOOOOOO!!!

The worst thing ever just happened to me. My TIVO malfunctioned and did not record tonight's episode of 24!! My life is SO over.

Something that irks me a little that I just need to throw that out

I hate the fact that 0 / 0 != 0.

Why? It breaks all graph plotting programs. Particularly gnuplot.

I think I know what is going to happen next...

Being a die-hard follower of FOX's show, 24, I didn't need the media to tell me this in response to bin Laden's latest offer:

U.S. rejects bin Laden tape's 'truce'

When the tape appeared to the public earlier today, I'm sure that Jack Bauer was on the phone with president Palmer. Palmer said to him, "you know very well that we do not negotiate with terrorists!" Jack replied, "I understand, Mr. President. But we are out of time. Bin Laden will be launching his attacks soon and we need to get to him, now."


After the conversation, Jack jumped into a boeing 767 plane and threatened to kill the pilot if he didn't fly over to Afghanistan immediately. Meanwhile he's on the phone with the CTU asking Cloe to analyze the authenticity of the tape.

Finally Jack arrived in Afganistan, found Bin Ladin. He pointed the gun at Bin Laden telling him that it's over and to hand himself over to the police. Just when you think that it's all over, Bin Laden said, "Not so easy, Jack. Bring her out!" It just so happened that Bin Laden's minions had Jack's daughter, Kim, captured. "Dad!" yells Kim. "Kim! what the F!@# are you doing here!!! you're not supposed to be season 5!"

"DING! DING!... DING! DING!" (the end of episode)

Prankers!

Since my team is responsible for launching projects, naturally we have a whiteboard that's hung against the glass window in my office facing the hallway which is written:

"LAUNCH COMMAND"

A week ago I noticed that the board had been changed to:
"L UNCH COMMAND"

And today, it'd been changed to:
"BRUNCH COMMAND"

I figured I was supposed to be angry at the person who played this prank on us. Instead, this is making me more productive at work as it reminds me of the joy of eating whenever I go in and out of my office.

Wow, it's been quiet here

I didn't notice that it's been almost a week since I last updated this blog.

I have been busy figuring out what my new year resolution should be. Since I'm not all that creative, I came up with the all too common resolution. Yes that's right, I want to get back in shape!

To start off, I've created a diet blog to keep track of my progress. My ultimate goal is to lose 10lbs by June. I know it doesn't sound like much, but given the fact that there's always food around whereever I turn my head towards to, it is quite a challenge.

I hope all of you would visit the diet page often and leave me encouraging comments. I'm serious! Andy is supposed to join me as well, but knowing him, he's probably going to procrastinate again.

How men screw up romance

This is another must see.

This is my 52nd time watching this and I'm still laughing. Hehe.

Ahhh.. Finally somewhat furnished

After 2.5 months of furniture hunting, I've finally furnished up my condo. Here are some poorly taken pictures:

living room



living room again

the new tv stand and the new 50" plasma

from the living room, looking at the dining room and the stinky kitchen


where I usually sit down to eat my KFC and California Rolls

this is where I usually stand around for 5 minutes to dream about the kinds of awesome cooking I am capable of doing before I sadly head over to KFC for my 3 piece chicken meal


this is the the view from the balcony. When I'm bored, I hang out at the balcony and say 'sup?' to those people who walk by


this is the 2nd bedroom that's used as the office. I usually start out sitting at the chair on the right, slowly move over to the sofa with my laptop, pass out, and then finally wake up and frantically wonder where the hell I am.


the master bedroom. as you can see, I'm too cheap to buy a bedframe for now.

Google Video Launched!

Many people have asked me why I haven't really been updating my blog recently. That's because I've been busy watching funny videos on Google Video. I was also pretty busy working on the launch of the new Google Video store as well, which is now available here.

Give it a shot! More videos to come. I know I'm definitely gonna be buying some of those NBA games.

Searching for "Unfortunately, [your name here]" on Google

This is pretty amusing.

Unfortunately, Patrick has been unable to work full-time since September 2002. He has lived with fibromyalgia, a chroic auto-immune disease that causes muscle pain and fatigue, for several years.

Unfortunately, Patrick's father eventually finds the farting so unbearable that he gives up and leaves the family.

Unfortunately, Patrick's not exactly the brightest starfish in the sea (if you catch our drift), and he usually ends up helping SpongeBob into a heap of trouble. Even their simplest plans end in disaster. But for better or worse, Patrick will always be SpongeBob's loyal buddy.
