Rogin-E Update: Progressing Slowly
It is very hard for me to provide an update on the Rogin-E challenge because I’m progressing slowly. … That is a significant personal achievement for me because after 5 years, I am going back to the gym again. … This gives me a motivation to continue with my goal even without this Rogin E challenge.
SCTex Run
A Rogin E Challenge Update I ended my back to back travel last week with a 10k run along the soon-to-be-opened Subic – Clark – Tarlac Expressway. … The SCTex is 93.77 km long with the Subic-Clark section measuring 50.5 km long and the Clark-Tarlac section at 43.27 km long. This is a major development backbone in the Central Luzon Area that connects Subic Freeport and Special Economic Zone and the Clark Special Economic Zone, and the Central Techno Park in Tarlac.
No More Excuses…
Rogin E Blogger Challenge Update: I’m already tired of making excuses to myself on why I’m still far away from my 6-pack abs goal in 2008. My strategy is to do it the right way with a determined mindset, regular workout and eating the right kind of food. … I can start to feel the impact of Rogin E because it is giving me the energy to survive my hectic schedule nowadays.
[Flavors of La Salle] Solomon’s Guest House
The Solomon Guest House is hidden along one of the side streets from the corner of De La Salle – College of St.
…What we love about Solomon house is that you can eat their Parm Crusted Fish classic complete with presentation and ambiance for less than P100.
…The actual house is small so they decided to have al fresco dining with umbrellas and tents because more and more people are going back to Solomon’s Guest House.
[Flavors of La Salle] Cerealicious
On a normal day, it is packed with students just hanging out and enjoying the healthy cereals.
…I’m tempted to enroll in a post graduate course just to hang out with students again.
…For starters, you just need to choose from the Cereal Blockbusters (tried and tested combinations).
