So I've been calculating what I'm supposed to weigh, ideally. The BMI isn't very accurate so I've been using Tannhauser's Formula instead.
For Caucasians:
Ideal Body Weight (in kilograms) = height (in centimeters) - 100
For Filipinos
Ideal Body Weight (in kilograms) = height (in centimeters) - 100 - [0.10 x ( height (in centimeters) - 100 )]
I'm still a bit overweight, given this method. I hope I'll be able to diet and exercise this christmas season.

Review: Cetaphil (Gentle Skin Cleanser)
I’ve always seen cetaphil around, but I’ve never felt the
desire to buy it: it’s supposed to be “gentle,” and gentle is not something I
felt my acne-prone skin needed. However, one day, I discovered a bottle lying
around the house and appropriated it for my own use. Since it had a
manufacturing and expiration date clearly marked at the bottom of the bottle, I
figured it was still fine.
After 3 weeks of using cetaphil once a day, I’ve realized
that this cleanser is not for me. Gentle is clearly not the way to go for my
skin. Too bad!
Ingredients
Water, Cetyl Alcohol, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Lauryl
Sulfate, Stearyl Alcohol, Methylparaben,
Propylparaben, Butylparaben.
Yays
- Gentle on the skin.
- Has clearly labelled manufacturing and expiration date.
Nays
- Those who dislike parabens will not like this product. For an ingredient list consisting of 8 chemicals, 3 parabens seems to be a bit much.
Heys
- This goes for other products too: try the small size to see if it works for you before committing to a big bottle.
Okays
- For those who have no skin problems.
- For those who have sensitive skin.

Food Porn!
I've just had a lovely sem break and I'd just like to share some of the places I've discovered up north.
- Olives Restaurant
- Matutina's Seafood Restaurant
- Sea and Sky Restaurant
- Kubong Sawali
- Cafe Isabela

Tiramisu Cake (Olives Restaurant) |
The servers were really attentive and it was a nice hot day, so we sat indoors. The only snag to the entire meal for me was that there were no desert forks for the dessert; dinner forks are fine for me normally but given the location and the fact that their forks were on the heavy side, I'd have appreciated one nonetheless.
On the less expensive end of the spectrum, Matutina's Seafood Restaurant serves good food at great prices. While I was able to take a picture of their sizzling chicken, it's their Crispy Pata that was the real treat (picture unavailable due to hungry people). It was easily big enough for 4 people and costed less than P400, I think. You get a lot more pata then you'd ever get back in Manila. Also, while we didn't order their sinigang, we had some free soup and it was excellent (they also won some sort of best sinigang award). If only we weren't full, we would have ordered some. Matutina has several branches, but we ate at the Tarlac branch. The only con of the meal, the looooonnggg waiting time due to the large number of customers.
