After the Fun Run Yesterday

Mamerto I. Relativo Jr. @Mamerto32 (2783) • Canlubang, Philippines 25 Nov 23

Yup, it's enjoyable, satisfying and draining. I won't lie, my legs are in pain hehehe. But it usually go after a day or two. By the way, I was advised to not take a full body oil massage after hard training. It will worsen the...

Done with day one of my 4 day challenge

Mamerto I. Relativo Jr. @Mamerto32 (2783) • Canlubang, Philippines 24 Nov 23

Done lifting weights last night. As a friend advised, I did maximum load, but minimal reps and a lot of sets. So it won't wear my joints since we will have a 5k run today. I'm not a pro athlete, and their harsher training will...

This thing is evil

Mamerto I. Relativo Jr. @Mamerto32 (2783) • Canlubang, Philippines 22 Nov 23

On the outside, it's the usual cola to liquor mix one could chug in the local bar. But Jack Daniels is not for the weak of heart. Again, curiosity got the better of me and I gave it a try. I forgot that it had 7% alcohol content...

Just came back from another business trip

Mamerto I. Relativo Jr. @Mamerto32 (2783) • Canlubang, Philippines 22 Nov 23

Being a typical Asian non-Japanese salaryman, part of my job is doing some business trips. Our jobs ranged from doing dirty manual labors in the warehouse, to looking clean in corporate meetings. We have another one of those...

Going back to eagles: This is how large their talons are

Mamerto I. Relativo Jr. @Mamerto32 (2783) • Canlubang, Philippines 21 Nov 23

Just to show you how large an eagle talon is. That thing is bigger than my hand. Now I know how they dispatch animals the size of deers. And we are told that birds evolved from dinosaurs.

The Twilight Sky Tonight

Mamerto I. Relativo Jr. @Mamerto32 (2783) • Canlubang, Philippines 21 Nov 23

Trying amateur photography with regular smartphone camera. This was taken in the rush as we have to ride the bus. I saw the sky and it occured to me that I have to take it's picture. Not a good shot, though.

Favorite Horror Character

Mamerto I. Relativo Jr. @Mamerto32 (2783) • Canlubang, Philippines 20 Nov 23

For me, this one is my favorite. I grew up watching him hack his way. I was scared as a kid, though he only amuses me as an adult. I love his getup of hockey mask, though I have to admit that the way he kills are highly...

Hilarious Facebook Videos could actually save your life

Mamerto I. Relativo Jr. @Mamerto32 (2783) • Canlubang, Philippines 20 Nov 23

Every morning, I always watch fail videos, though someone should assure first that the unlucky victim of his own antics survived. Yes, it's hilarious, but these Steve O wannabes are teaching us a valuable lesson. Don't do stupid...

This one almost burned a hole on my tongue

Mamerto I. Relativo Jr. @Mamerto32 (2783) • Canlubang, Philippines 20 Nov 23

I love salsa and chips. It's a low fat snack that I always nibble each night. One day I got curious and attempted to try one of these. Mrs. Renfro is a good brand, and I found a ghost pepper flavor. Guess what, this thing set my...

Nasty things I saw while on a business trip

Mamerto I. Relativo Jr. @Mamerto32 (2783) • Canlubang, Philippines 19 Nov 23

Part of my job is going to places in Manila to conduct meetings and transactions. And along the way, we sometimes see some not so desirable views on the road. Traffics are just the beginning, and unlucky for us if we witness an...

Mamerto I. Relativo Jr. @Mamerto32 (2783) • Canlubang, Philippines 19 Nov 23

Just started my work here in the office, quite a dull day, but then that's reality. It's up to us how to make it fun. Good thing I worked out last night, or else I will be crawling to my desk all lethargic. The management is also...

Science Fact: Why Do Eagles Always Look Angry?

Mamerto I. Relativo Jr. @Mamerto32 (2783) • Canlubang, Philippines 19 Nov 23

This is a silly question, but eagles and other birds of prey seem to be in an ever grumpy mood. The way they stare, with those scowling faces and angry eyes, seems to be telling any observer to "back off." But their usual...

My attempt to do an indoor photography, by snapping the picture of this really handsome church altar. The church itself us fairly young structure, and the altar was constructed just a decade ago. But look at those displays! I will...

Historical trivia: The Unique Helmet Of King Henry VIII

Mamerto I. Relativo Jr. @Mamerto32 (2783) • Canlubang, Philippines 18 Nov 23

Yes, this is a real historical helmet worn by King Henry VIII. It looks something worn by an evil villain in a steampunk film. This contraption was part of the armor made by Konrad Seusenhofer, and it appeared to be modeled after...

Mamerto I. Relativo Jr. @Mamerto32 (2783) • Canlubang, Philippines 18 Nov 23

Since I cannot go online here for long periods, I would focus more on engagements rather than volume. Again, I will try to publish micro blogs covering various topics, as a friend suggested. Later on, I will post those said...

I miss the old Discovery Channel documentaries.

Mamerto I. Relativo Jr. @Mamerto32 (2783) • Canlubang, Philippines 25 Apr 20

Discovery channels used to focus on documentaries. You know, about histories, science and technology. I don't complain about their current shows though, but it's just that there is too many reality shows in Discovery Channel. I...
