Breaking up workouts may burn fat faster
Reuters
Breaking up an exercise session, by adding a rest period in between, may boost a workout's fat-burning efficiency, a team of Japanese and Danish researchers reports.
When men exercised for two 30-minute stretches, taking a 20-minute rest break in between, they burned more fat than when they exercised for a single 60-minute session, and then rested afterward, Dr. Kazushige Goto of the University of Tokyo and colleagues found.
Current recommendations on exercise for preventing or treating obesity emphasize longer exercise sessions, Goto and his team note in the Journal of Applied Physiology. But there is evidence that following one exercise session with another workout may increase fat metabolism, they add.
To investigate, the researchers had seven healthy men complete one long workout and then two shorter workouts on exercise bicycles, measuring several different indicators of fat metabolism. All exercised at 60 percent of their maximum level of exertion.
When the men performed the two shorter exercise sessions, their blood levels of free fatty acids and other substances rose during the rest period, indicating greater fat metabolism. Levels of these substances also were higher during an hour-long rest period after the two-part exercise session.
Greater fat metabolism was recorded during each of the rest periods in the two-part session than during the rest period following the single, longer workout.
The men also showed lower levels of insulin and blood glucose during the second phase of the two-part exercise session.
While the proportion of total calories burned did not differ between the two workouts, fat represented nearly 77 percent of the calories burned in the recovery period after the two-part exercise session, compared with about 56 percent of calories burned in the recovery period after the single long exercise session.
Although a single bout of prolonged exercise is often performed in response to a physician's advice to exercise more, exercising for the same amount of time but with rest periods in between may be more effective, especially for sedentary or overweight individuals, the researchers conclude.

Psalm 23
The Lord is my Shepherd
My Father-figure, my guide,
I shall not want.
I shall not lack anything – for the Lord will provide all I need.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures,
He gives sweet rest and comfort in Him.
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He calms my heart with the refreshing water of His Word.
He restoreth my soul.
Where I have been broken – He healed, and heals.
Where I had lost touch with Him, He brought me back.
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness
He keeps me from sin and leads me in the way I should go,
as a father does for His son, and as a Shepherd guides His sheep.
For His name’s sake.
So that I cannot take any pride in my own righteousness, but that in all I do,
My Shepherd would receive all glory.
Yea, though I walk through the valley
The dark, lonesome valley
Of the Shadow of Death
Though death threatens my very being,
I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me.
Because my Shepherd leads, I have no reason to fear for my life.
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
As I learn discipline from my Shepherd, I am comforted and assured of His love.
Thou preparest a table before me
Always giving and delighting the sheep You care for,
In the presence of mine enemies
So that they will acknowledge the greatness and majesty of You, my Shepherd.
My cup runneth over.
You never cease to lavish your abundant grace upon me.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
On this weary path, Your kindness and gentle patience encompass me wherever I may be
All the days of my life
The good days, and the bad days
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
In the Good Shepherd’s green pastures
Forever.
Amen.
May it be.

The Poem

I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work
For bills would soon be due.
So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees.
My Christian duty was now done
My soul could rest at ease.....
All day long I had no time
To spread a word of cheer
No time to speak of Christ to friends,
They'd laugh at me I'd fear.
No time, no time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need
But at last the time, the time to die.
I went before the Lord,
I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
For in his hands God! held a book;
It was the book of life.
God looked into his book and said
"Your name I cannot find
I once was going to write it down...
But never found the time"

The 7 Ups
Decide to have a good day.
"This is the day the Lord hath made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it."
Psalms 118:24
2. Dress Up !!
The best way to dress up is to put on a smile.
A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.
"The Lord does not look at the things man looks at.
Man looks at outward appearance,
but the Lord looks at the heart."
I Samuel 16:7
3.. Shut Up!!
Say nice things and learn to listen.
God gave us two ears and one mouth,
so He must have meant for us to do twice as much listening as talking.
"He who guards his lips guards his soul."
Proverbs 13:3
4. Stand Up!!
.. . . for what you believe in.
Stand for something or you will fall for anything.
"Let us not be weary in doing good; for at the proper time,
we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good..."
Galatians 6:9-10
5. Look Up !!
.. . . to the Lord.
"I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me".
Philippians 4:13
6. Reach Up !!
.. . . for something higher.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and lean not unto your own understanding.
In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path."
Proverbs 3:5-6
7. Lift Up !!
.. . . your Prayers.
"Do not worry about anything; instead
PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING."
Philippians 4:6
A POSITIVE THOUGHT
If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it..
If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it.
He sends you flowers every spring, and a sunrise every morning.
Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen.
He could live anywhere in the universe, and He chose your heart.
What about the Christmas gift He sent you in Bethlehem ;
not to mention that Friday at Calvary ..
Face it, He's crazy about you.

CHRISTIAN WAYS TO REDUCE STRESS
1. Pray
2. Go to bed on time.
3. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed.
4. Say No to projects that won't fit into your time schedule or that will compromise your mental health.
5. Delegate tasks to capable others.
6. Simplify and uncluttered your life.
7. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many.)
8. Allow extra time to do things and to get to places.
9. Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don't lump the hard things all together.
10. Take one day at a time.
11. Separate worries from concerns. If a situation is a concern, find out what God would have you do and let go of the anxiety. If you can't do anything about a situation, forget it.
12. Live within your budget; don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases.
13. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps,! etc.
14. K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut). This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble.
15. Do something for the Kid in You everyday.
16. Carry a Bible with you to read while waiting in line.
17. Get enough rest.
18. Eat right.

21. Write down thoughts and inspirations.
22. Every day, find time to be alone.
23. Having problems? Talk to God on the spot. Try to nip small problems in the bud. Don't wait until it's time to go to bed to try and pray.
24. Make friends with Godly people.
25. Keep a folder of favorite scriptures on hand.
26. Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often a good "Thank you Jesus."
27. Laugh.
28. Laugh some more!
29. Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all.
30. Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing the best they can).
31. Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most).
32. Sit on your ego.
33. Talk less; listen more.
34. Slow down.
35. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe.
36 . Every night before bed, think of one thing you're grateful for that you've never been grateful for before. GOD HAS A WAY OF TURNING THINGS AROUND FOR YOU. "If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31)

NEW BLOGSPOT TITLE
For the past two months I’ve been thinking of a new title for my blogspot. It’s time to change it. Let’s go back to history why at first I named it Deanne’s Got Milk because at that time when I first discovered blogspot; me and my daughter are having fun playing the game that my sister Mira sent to my daughter which is Got milk, suddenly I have found the passion in writing (totoo ba yan!) that I named it to that game and my daughter’s name. My daughter pop up a suggestion this year, she said Dad why don’t you change the name of it; Ok. After a long time of searching, “It’s All About YOU!!” was the no.1 choice; why? It’s part of the lyrics from the music “Heart of Worship” by Michael W. Smith; yesterday while we were in the mall we went to a videoke bar in SM Fairview; it has small rooms so that you and your family can have a lot of time singing (its very cheap P50 for 1hr) this song speaks to my heart. Here are the lyrics;
HEART OF WORSHIP
MICHAEL W. SMITH
When the music fadesAll is stripped awayAnd I simply comeLonging just to bringSomething that's of worthThat will bless your heart I'll bring You more than a songFor a song in itselfIs not what You have requiredYou search much deeper withinThrough the way things appearYou're looking into my heart ChorusI'm coming back to the heart of worshipAnd it's all about YouIt's all about You, JesusI'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made itWhen it's all about YouIt's all about You, Jesus King of endless worthNo one could expressHow much you deserveThough I'm weak and poorAll I have is yoursEvery single breath I'll bring you more than a songYou're looking into my heartLooking into my heart

One Year!
It’s been a year since I started here at blogspot, it all started from an inspiration and disappointment that I decided to do something for a change. I’ve tried browsing on the different articles that I have shared and might say “okey lang”. I’m not the best writer in the world but I want to learn.
Lots have change but I’m still the same guy that knows how to laugh, care and share what I know. In the middle of last year nawalan ako ng gana na mag-blog sabi ko, Im not good at it but I’m not that easy to give up, kaya biruin mo naka one year pa ako.
I’m going to write and share something at least two or three articles in a month. It depends on my schedule. If you can give me ideas and you also want to contribute then its Ok. Your welcome! Parang this is a form of outlet to the busy life that we have here in this world. Hopefully I could maintain this blogspot until I live. Siguro this time it would be a mixture of tagalog and english ang gagamitin ko dito. Happy one year to me! Naks Greeting my ownself. Good day to all and Have a Nice Holy Week!

Lord Of The Rings; Book Reading
I've been thinking the past week on what to do because I'm getting bored with no new things to get done, so a few days had past just going to my daily routine. I find out that one of my colleagues is into reading books. He said that last year he had read a total of 30 books, (WOW this man is a bookworm; he needs "pampurga") well according to statistics; an average man should be reading at least 20 books a year to sharpen his memory and knowledge. How many books have I read last year 2006; i started counting 1.2.3.4.5…. what else is that all, the year had past and I did not even reach the magic 20 number for reading books. I'm more to just surfing the web, reading emails, downloading but not reading books. Okey! stop worrying and start reading a book.
What will I read and where can I get the book? A question why sometimes people dont want to read books, they cannot get the book they want. I want to read Lord of the Rings 1, 2 and 3 ; of course you would ask why that book; its true that i have already watch them in movies and i even have a copy of the dvd for each book but there are stories that are not included on the movie that you will find on the book and you will see it very interesting. I started researching the author to have at least a background on this famous man J.R.R. Tolkien who created it all. Well for me no one can surpass the beauty,suspense and the long wait for the next movie to come; I remember then when the Fellowship of the Ring was shown, we were living in
I started asking my friends if they do have the book; lo and behold they dont have. My colleague who is a bookworm ( he really needs to take combantrin ) said try downloading it on the web, he gave a website in which to download and I got the book and started reading it, it took me one week and a half to finish the three books.I have fun reading, especially the additional information that I gathered . All I can say is the word F which is for Fantastic.
I started the year with three books and 17 more to go, the more the better. Start reading a book and who knows you might even surpass the magic 20 number.

P.M. Acosta Drive
Have you heard that name or street? all of you would say; of course not; where in the hell is that; why do you want us to know it. Actually that name came from my father who is an Air Force soldier with a rank of Colonel. P.M. means Pedro Magarin the name of my father. Before he died the street in front of their office is not yet cemented, so what he did is to gather his soldiers and start cementing the road; no need for funds since they have a lot of cement material. This person is a very likeable one because he knows how to be down to earth with his soldiers; he can be approached if their is any problem (an officer na pang-masa). Its been almost five years since we visited the place. Its in Clarkfield, Pampanga Air Force City. We have stayed for almost seven years in Clark, I have a lot of memories in pampanga that i would never forget. It's in this beautiful city that my daughter was born, I've worked in this Special Economic Zone! I Love This Place! It's one of the cleanest and greenest place in the country. We went home to Tarlac last christmas of 2006 and we planned to go to Clark to do some picture and video taking on that street. Its a 1 hour drive from Tarlac, the place is fantastic since its one of the former military camp of United States. We were greeted by the soldiers since they still know my mother and we did a lot of picture taking which is attach right now. We have a lot of fun! So if you are going to visit Clarkfield try going to Air Force city its beside the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport and you will see the street named P.M. Acosta drive.
My wife and brother raydon still at the driveway named after my father.

My beautiful wife.
The Acosta clan.
The ever dashing yours truly.

LEADERS PERSPECTIVE II
“The moment avoiding failure becomes your motivation, you're down the path of inactivity. You stumble only if you're moving.”
Roberto C. Goizueta
CEO, Coca-Cola comp
1981-1997
He coined 'Coke Is It!'
Roberto Goizueta was born in
Working his way up from technical operations, Goizueta was named a vice chairman in 1979, president in 1980 and and chairman of the board and chief executive officer on March 1, 1981. The new CEO immersed himself in the company's accounting and economics. With a new, punchy advertising slogan, "Coke Is It!" he successfully increased domestic sales while continuing to plumb new international markets.
During his tenure at Coke, Goizueta turned around what some business analysts once called an old, conservative company by emphasizing global sales and making moves never seen by the company before. His motto: return on investment and stock price. "The curse of all curses is the revenue line," he once said, referring to the need to be profitable.
And fortunate for him and Coke investors, Goizueta's company was just that. Since becoming CEO in 1981, he created more wealth for shareholders than any other CEO in history, largely due to his global marketing skills. Total return on Coke stock was more than 7,100 percent during his tenure, according to analysts. He owned nearly 16 million Coke shares worth roughly $1 billion, making him America's first corporate manager to achieve billionaire status through owning stock in a company he didn't help found or take public, business analysts said.
A lifelong heavy smoker, Goizueta was diagnosed with lung cancer in the summer of 1997 and died on October 18, at the age of sixty-five. He was buried in

LEADERS PERSPECTIVE I
“I knew that if I failed I wouldn’t regret that, but I knew the one thing I might regret is not trying.”
Jeffrey Bezo
Founder & CEO, Amazon
Jeffrey Bezos has always been interested in anything that can be revolutionized by computers. Intrigued by the amazing growth in use of the Internet, Bezos created a business model that leveraged the Internet's unique ability to deliver huge amounts of information rapidly and efficiently.
At D. E. Shaw, a firm specializing in the application of computer science to the stock market, Bezos was hired as much for his overall talent as for any particular assignment. He rose quickly at Shaw, becoming a senior Vice President, and looked forward to a bright career in finance, when he made a discovery that changed his life, and the course of business history.
The Internet was originally created by the Defense Department to keep its computer networks connected during an emergency, such as natural catastrophe or enemy attack. Over the years, it was adopted by government and academic researchers to exchange data and messages. In 1994, there was still no Internet commerce to speak of. Jeffrey Bezos observed that Internet usage was increasing by 2300 percent a year. He saw an opportunity for a new sphere of commerce, and immediately began considering the possibilities. Bezos's employers weren't prepared to proceed with such a venture, and Bezos knew the only way to seize the opportunity was to go into business for himself. It would mean sacrificing a secure position in
Bezos reviewed the top 20 mail order businesses, and asked himself which could be conducted more efficiently over the Internet than by traditional means. Books were the commodity for which no comprehensive mail order catalogue existed, because any such catalogue would be too big to mail; perfect for the Internet, which could share a vast database with a virtually limitless number of people.
From the beginning, Bezos sought to increase market share as quickly as possible, at the expense of profits. When he disclosed his intention to go from being "Earth's biggest bookstore" to "Earth's biggest anything store," skeptics thought Amazon was growing too big too fast, but a few analysts called it "one of the smartest strategies in business history."
Through each round of expansion, Jeff Bezos continually emphasized the "Six Core Values: customer obsession, ownership, bias for action, frugality, high hiring bar and innovation." "Our vision," he said, "is the world's most customer-centric company. The place where people come to find and discover anything they might want to buy online." Amazon moved into music CDs, videos, toys, electronics and more. When the Internet's stock market bubble burst, Amazon re-structured, and while other dot.com start-ups evaporated, Amazon was posting profits.
Today, Jeff Bezos lives north of
Have a good month to all!
