The Benefits of Biking

Have you ever tried biking as your daily exercise in the morning? Or is this your preferred exercise routine to stay fit and healthy?

As for me, biking is one of my favorite activity aside from swimming. But given the fact that I do not own one right now, I am thinking of buying for myself so that it'll be my companion in the morning for my exercise routine! Just thinking of it makes me want to buy one very soon. I'd like to buy a bike which is tall enough for my height, with co2 cartridges for bikes of course, and white in color! Let's say more so like the photo below. Isn't it cute?!



Okay, since biking is said to be an acivity from which you will stay fit and healthy, let's talk about how is it so.

Let me enumerate the benefits of biking or cycling to health:

1. Biking is firming, toning and calorie-burning. For those weighing 160 lbs, approximately 457 calories are burned in 45 minutes. It is said that biking beats out driving a car in this matter.

2. Leisure biking helps in stress relieving process. It boosts levels of euphoria-producing hormones called endorphins. In a much understandable translation, biking boosts a healthy mood.

3. Biking makes you enjoy the scenery, the fresh air and soft breeze that hits your skin. You are able to think peacefully and clear from the busyness of life.

4. Biking is another way of socializing. Friendship is formed with fellow biking enthusiasts and like minded people on this sport.

Yes, aside from those good benefits... I was thinking of biking with my husband in a breezy afternoon that we would cycle all the way to the foot of a hill. When we get there, we would rest and put up a tent for a camping trip you would say since we have this camping gas cylinders with us. Stay there for about several hours and go cycling back home.

Valentine's Dinner Date

My hubby and I had an early Valentines dinner date which was last Sunday night. He always hate traffic which is expected on that sweet day. And so, he thought of having dinner with me earlier at Don Henrico's along Midtown Plaza! I was like grinning in excitement to taste this 14" pizza! I'm a pizza lover and my hubby exactly knows that. We also chose this special spot where there is this dim light so it looked even more romantic. Sorry, I only had taken a picture of the pizza for too much excitement to bite a slice. See that moved slice already? I was grabbing one when I remembered to take picture. And that couple in front of us wearing those exact same tshirt is an evidence that Valentines Day could be anytime! So fun! Just a very wise decision you two. You did the right thing of dating earlier just as we did! Linking with:  

Red Glittery Nail Polish!

My mom came and visited us today. She's an awesome manicurist and so, I was very excited to have my nails done again. My hubby got his toe nails cleaned too. Well, it wasn't free though my mom said that I don't have to pay. I insisted. That's how I love her. I gave her awesome payment as well. So here is the after shot. I actually never liked red nail polish but my mom said to try it so I requested to apply some glittery effect to cover the plain redness. I loved it! Thanks Mama for pampering me with having my nails done. They're so beautiful! blurred taken from my cellphone  taken from hubby's ipad2 Such a happiness so I'm sharing this at:

Tagaytay Travel

Last two weeks ago, we had this 3-day conference for church workers in Manila Area which was held at CCT Tagaytay Retreat and Training Center - a fellowship/seminar/conference for the United Methodist Church workers. My husband, who is a Chinese pastor and I, a church musician, went and had the best experience there. We had the most and respectable speakers and lecturers who came and pastors from North Georgia were also present. Good thing that we were there and it was an awesome place! Not to mention the perfect cold weather that comforted us to sleep on those two nights. Since this Retreat and Training Center is new, which only started operating on June of last year, our church thought of doing our activity there. They had every facilities ready and of full service when we arrived. Almost a thousand delegates came and were happy of the venue! This training center is actually a project of Christian churches and organizations who thought of establishing this beautiful place and ...
