YOGA
what is yoga nga ba? well yoga works at ur physical level (reduce weight) and mental level, give u tension free and relax, calm feeling, balancing ur muscles, hormones.
Yoga is for everybody. Yoga is usually defined as union and comes from the Sanskrit word "yug" or yoke, which means we are irrevocably bound to the Divine, and therefore free. Yoga is for every person regardless of their religion or philosophy. there also have different types of yoga
AnandaAnanda Yoga is a classical style of hatha yoga that uses asana and pranayama to awaken, experience, and begin to control the subtle energies within oneself, especially the energies of the chakras.
Anusara Anusara (a-nu-SAR-a) means, "to step into the current of Divine Will", "following your heart", "flowing with Grace", "to move with the current of divine will."
Ashtanga
For those who want a serious workout, Ashtanga may be the perfect yoga.
Bikram
Bikram Choudhury's yoga is hot, hot, hot, so be prepared to sweat, sweat, sweat. In class, they crank the thermostat up high, then
as of now im doing the hatha yoga and its good and easy to follow.Be kind to yourself when you practice yoga. Go slowly, especially in the beginning, and listen to your body. It knows what it can do. If it says "stop," stop. Don't push it. Yoga is not a competitive sport. You don't win points for matching a picture in a book (or on a website). If you push too hard, you probably won't enjoy it, and you may hurt yourself. Whenever possible, work with a teacher, and use books, videos and websites to supplement your classroom instruction. Most of all, stick with it. If you practice, you will improve. And you will feel better.as a personal advise, dont try YOGA after you eat. do this only maybe in the morning and afternoon. doing this with some sounds for relaxation and some scents that makes you more relax is much more better. it triple the effect. physically and emotionally. relieving you from stress.
for the beginner dont forget to bring your own yoga mat and balance fitness ball.

Kung meron tayong BALUT sa Pinas na pampatigas ng tuhod, meron silang NATTO dito sa Japan. Like balut, hindi basta-basta kung sinuman ang nakakakain nito. Natto is fermented soybeans and it has been part of the Japanese diet for more than 1,000 years. Now, it has been called the "ultimate health food." However, natto is not for everyone. You either love it or hate it. So let us count the ways.
Love it? Because it is a good source of vitamin B2 which makes your skin young, fresh and beautiful! At marami rin makukuhang protein nutrients sa natto for needed energy. Rich din daw ito sa vitamin K2 which helps prevent osteoporosis. Ano ito? Osteoporosis is a silent disease in which bones become fragile and more likely to break. Hayan na ang mga tuhod natin! Pero I think the best thing that natto can do for you is it helps prevent heart attacks and strokes. O, yung may sakit sa puso diyan, makinig! There is an enzyme
in natto that is reported to reduce and prevent blood clot.
Hate it? If you do, welcome to the club. I dislike eating natto because of its strong pungent smell and taste. Just by looking at it, you immediately lose your appetite. And take note, hindi lang tayong mga gaijins ang meron "hatred and dispproval" sa natto, pati rin sa kanilang mga Japanese. Many in the Kansai area are not fond of this traditional Japanese food.
Sabi ng Japanese friend ko, it takes four times to get to like natto. Sa pang-apat na try mo, siguradong magusustuhan mo siya. Ganoon ba? So, acquired taste pala ito. I remember when my friend was pregnant, advise ng duktor niya: Kumain ng maraming natto everyday para maging genki si baby. Good for her, my friend health is fine as she has been eating natto up till now.
Eh paano naman tayo sa "I hate natto club?" Well, don't despair. Take note, natto is made from soya beans. Marami rin ibang sources na galing sa soya beans. There is the ever popular TOFU na parang leche flan na walang lasa. You can eat it with toyo or in Japanese, SHOYU. Yes, galing din po sa soya beans ang toyo, soy sauce! There is also soya milk which they call TONYU in Japanese. This is the one in small bright green tetra-pack that is available in all convenience stores around Japan at 84 yen only, tax included! So if you need an instant and cheap source of protein and vitamins, go for tonyu!
. And if you are like me for not liking natto, then go for tonyu and tofu instead.
Pero I heard that meron na raw bagong brand of natto available in the supermarkets which don't have a bad smell and taste. Just ask some of the supermarket staff in simple Japanese if you cannot read the kanji. Sa wakas, there is still hope for natto. If I can find that new brand of natto, I will definitely give it a try even if it still looks like "you-know-what-I-mean." Siguro the Japanese should look into this image problem of natto. And if I were into the natto business, I would surely take the image problem as a number one priority.
Ano ba? Pare-pareho lang naman ang mga basurang yan eh bakit pa kailangan pag hiwa-hiwalayin? A garbage is a garbage. But my dear, not all garbage are created equal.Kaibigan, sa Japan, all garbage should be separated according to its nature. They should be thrown and collected on certain specified days. And garbage should be thrown at designated spots. Otherwise, they won't pick up your garbage. So remembering these simple rules will make your life easier in Japan.
But how do we separate garbage in Japan? Now, let us count the basic ways. We have the combustible (paper, clothing, kitchen garbage, etc.) and the non-combustible garbage (plastic, metal, glass, ceramic, rubber, leather, etc). Then, there is the large garbage (furniture, electric appliances, bicycles). You need to call the sanitary office first to notify them of your large garbage. And take note, you will be charged for this depending on the number and size of your garbage.
Actually, there are more ways than these to segregate your trash. In Tokyo alone, the garbage laws require the segregation of garbage into eight categories. Even Japanese themselves complain of how difficult it is to separate their garbage.
The collection day and time of trash differs from place to place. If you go to the designated garbage spot, you will see a poster about the detailed collection of each kind of garbage. Usually, meron yan English translation. Kung wala, magtanong ka na lang sa isang mabait na obasan sa neighborhood mo. Kasi, kung hindi tama ang mga basura mong pinag-tatapon, lagot ka at magagalit yang mga obatarian sa yo.
"Hay, basta," ani ng kaibigan ko, "ilagay na lang ang mga iranai mono sa balikbayan box at magagamit pa nila doon!" Kawawa naman ang Pilipinas, ginagawa talagang garbage dumping ground.
Sakura! Sakura! Yes, Japan is going to be enveloped with the beautiful cherry blossoms. HAPPY HARU! Don't miss this once in a year chance. Malulunod ka talaga sa dami at beauty ng sakura. Take the whole family and have a picnic under the sakura trees. Enjoy the hanami. Go call your friends and stroll around the park. Take pictures and send them to friends sa Pinas and around the world. It's just so beautiful outside but be sure to wear your jacket and stay warm kasi malamig pa rin ang panahon. Don't catch a cold, ok? Daijoubu da! I have been asked by several friends which Japanese Kanji character would be best for a tattoo. Super dami ng mga characters so I always tell them, "Why don't you just have your name tattoed in Japanese?" Siguro, I was just playing safe kasi it's easier to write a foreigner's name in katakana. Kanji is generally not used to write foreign names. Pero sa totoo lang, mas safe talaga ang pangalan mo instead of say an artwork or another word. Fashion changes and trends alter but your name will always be the same. Just believe in your name. Who knows, one of these days, sisikat ka rin! Daijoubu da yo!
My Japanese friend told me that whenever he goes out drinking in Shinjuku, Tokyo with his office mates, he really doesn't mind about the time. Alam naman natin na by midnight, wala ng subway at train. Uso raw ngayon sa mga Hapon ang mag-overnight stay sa mga MANGA KISSA o sa mga internet cafes. You can sleep there and even take a shower. Libre pa ang drinks at some places while chatting with your friends around the globe online or downloading music and movies. So next time mawalan na kayo ng train, try to stay in one of the internet cafes instead of wasting your money on expensive taxis. Daijoubu da!
It's the season of KAFUN SHO (pollen allergy). This is the reason why you see so many people wearing mask outside. If you take the trains everyday for work, it is best to wear a mask kasi madali ang mahawa sa sakit sa loob ng train. Just imagine the rush hour. Punung-puno ng tao at siksikan. Pagkatapos, maririnig mo ang mga ubo, at maaamoy ang mga morning breath ng mga salaryman na amoy malansang isda. Bad breath! Germs! Virus! Mag-ingat! Sa mga may sakit na, take vitamin c and drink lots of liquid. But the most important thing is to take a good rest.

Marami na akong naririnig na kwento sa mga kapwa Pinoy na nasita si ganoon at natimbog si ganire. Lalo na sa Tokyo, grabe na ang kahigpitan dito. Marami na akong kilala na napauwi na. Ngayon, hindi lang sa Tokyo ang super-higpit pero sa ibang inaka na rin. Bakit ba biglang nagkahigpitan?
It all started after the "9-11" terrorism. Lumaganap ang terorismo all over the world. Sa New York. Sa London. Sa Madrid. At ang balita noon, susunod na raw ang Tokyo. Kaya hayun, biglang nag-handa ng mahigpit na security measures ang gobyerno ng Tokyo. Nataranta sila. Kaya sino ang ta-targetin nila? Siempre, sino pa? Eh di tayong mga gaijin.
Gumawa ng hakbang ang Tokyo government that for 5 straight years from 2003-2008, it will galvanize immigration checks in several places especially the train stations by increasing the number of immigration police officers disguised in their civilian clothes. Lilinisin nila ang Tokyo sa paghuli ng mga unwanted foreigners.
Usually, mga Asiano at Afrikano ang mga laging nasisita sa mga train stations. Bihira nilang sitahin ang mga puti. Bakit kaya? It shows very much that they think of their white brothers on a higher level.
Magalang naman sila sa mga checking routines. They will introduce themselves as immigration police and show their badge. Then, you will be asked to show your alien registration or passport. They might ask you other questions also about where you live and work. Yun lang. so my advice is dont forget to bring your passport or alien card
Celebrating valentines day in japan is not like a celebrating valentines in PhilippinesCoz here the valentines is only for a guy the girls going to gave a chocolate to a guy
This tradition will started by the chocolates company in japan.valentines day is very important to all the Japanese girls because by giving chocolates is there way to show their feelings to the guy that they like.
GODIVA is 1 of the popular chocolates from belgium here in japan also the meiji,morinaga,guriko is also popular here the girls bought different chocolates for their family,friends,boss,boyfriend and etc…
There have 2 kinds of chocolates here in japan the chocolates who was given to your family,boss,friends are called GIRI CHOCO. GIRI means obligation while the chocolate that was given to your loveones are called HONMEI CHOCO.HONMEI means true love of course HONMEI was more expensive than GIRI CHOCO but sometimes the girls made chocolates by their own design
Valentine's na naman, ang paboritong season ng mga gold diggers na umaasang
matabunan ng regalo from their sugar daddies. Pwes, forewarned is forearmed: in Japan, walang aanihin kung walang tinanim. Kailangan ay merong kayong ipinuhunan muna na seed money muna bago magkaroon ng ROI (as in, return on investment, mga iha). Hindi uubra ang ganda factor only, lalo na't kung
hindi naman ganuun kataas ang inyong "face value." So, bili na kayo ng mga tsokolate (kahit na Choc-nut man lang, after all, it's the thought that counts, kuno) at ipamigay sa mga lowloh diyan sa paligid ninyo, then maghintay ng isang buwan para bumalik ang grasya on March 14. Pero gamitin niyo rin ang sixth sense ninyo - kung mukhang manhid o barat ang ombre, baka masayang lang ang investment mo ... (kaya nga Choc-nut na lang, para di masakit kung walang bumalik). Valentine's Day rin ang only chance ninyo (lalo na yung mga nakapayong nung nagkalat ng kagandahan ang Diyos) na magtapat sa mga crush ninyo without major damage to your reputation or psyche.
someone asked me Modern and high tech po and Japan, pero bakit po karamihan ay hindi marunong mag-English?
'Yan ang hirap sa Pinoy, pinaghahalo yung pag-i-Ingles sa pagiging matalino, palibhasang marunong daw tayong mag-Ingles kuno. Ilagay niyo ito sa utak ninyo: English-speaking ability is NOT equivalent to intelligence. Maraming
bobang estudyante diyan sa Assumption: kahit na pa wurz-wurz pa ang tunog ng
lumalabas sa bibig nila, wala namang laman ang sinasabi kundi "I went with my yaya to make-tusok-tusok the fishballs." Sosyalitang low-IQ.
Ang progress ay di nakukuha sa salitang ginagamit (kese Ingles o Hapon o Tagalog o Chinese o French o Arabic o Swahili, atbp.) kundi sa laman (ideas & concepts) ng sinasabi. Kahit na pa-Ingles-Ingles pa tayo (assuming that Pinoys still know how to speak English properly), malayo pa tayo sa kaunlaran kung ang laman ng mga TV shows natin ay mga walang ka kuwenta kuwentang palabas
