Check Green Inferno
Because I reported for work on a Sunday, today is on leave to offset it. Made an appointment to my endocrinologist for 10AM. Was already at
Makati Medical Center around 9AM.
She did not provide me medicine for my subclinical hypothyroidism. Says it is normal for may age. But it will be monitored. Will take again several tests and be back by January next year.
So, walked my way to
Ayala Center as my exercise. Took 11:51min/km for my 1.33km walk from Makati Medical Center to
The Landmark.
Decided to claim my free meal again at
Italianni's. This time I chose the Spinach Artichoke Formaggio.
Decided to watch a movie before proceeding home. Bought a discounted movie ticket for
The Green Inferno.
Since I still have time, walked... the better to reach my goal steps. Weh!
"The Green Inferno" is about a group of college activists who went to the Peruvian jungle to stop the logging that may eventually destroy a native village. In the end, they were caught by the village of cannibals, the very same village they are trying to save. Ho-hum...
TSH Intern
Went first to
Makati Medical Center to get the TSH result. Not good. Results are not within normal range.
TSH IRMA Turbo, 5.293 uIU/ml (normal range 0.27 to 3.75)
Anti-TPO, 310.88 IU/ml (normal range up to 100)
Anti-HTG, 161.32 IU/ml (normal range up to 100)
Will have to do my own "research" before my check-up with my endocrinologist on Monday.
Then, was dropped-off at
Glorietta. Bought discounted movie ticket for
The Intern. Had lunch at
Bistro Ravioli before my movie.
Retired Ben is not satisfied in his retirement life. When a senior internship program was offered in a rising internet start-up, he applied. Cute. It is old school gelling with new school.
After the movie, ticked-off some items in my list.
First is a mat. Was able to buy a bath mat to be used with the mini-stepper I bought yesterday. Reading the manual, should have something to protect the floor.
Second is the posture brace. Saw
it yesterday at
Toby's Arena but have to make measurements. Should buy the XL size but it is not available. Found one by
LP Support at
Mercury Drug instead. Took size L. The one at Mercury Drug has a tape measure on hand. Hehehe!
Attended the antcipated Mass. Had dinner at
Food Choices. Bought faucet at
True Value.
Before proceeding home, went to
Pet Express for Tsubasa's food.
AP BT Luna
A holiday... and I have already made reservations at
KARADA for my AP Balance and Body Treatment.
After my treatment, had lunch at
Italianni's to avail the free Sicilian Salad (lunch portion) from BPI Amore.
Bought a movie ticket online via
mPass for
Heneral Luna. This movie is gaining rave reviews.
The movie is set during the Filipino-American war about the rise and fall of Philippine's Hero General Antonio Luna. What is surprising about this biopic is that it did not conform to the normal formula. Instead, it was able to show the unique personality of the lead character. When the movie ended, the audience clapped in appreciation. Like. Like. Like.
Before proceeding home, bought a mini-stepper from
The Landmark.
TSH Resureksyon Transylvania
Took a leave to take my TSH test. Was dropped off at
Makati Medical Center.
After the test, walked my way to
The Landmark. My speed is 11:32min/km for the 1.35km walk. Bought the posture aid I saw at the store yesterday when I did some groceries (including Nana's diaper). Have to measure first to know which size to purchase.
Claimed my free movie tickets from BPI Amore for the movies
Resureksyon and
Hotel Transylvania 2.
Since I promised my
Kuya that I will give him an activity tracker, went to
Garmin Concept Store at
Glorietta 5. Bought him a
vivofit (mine's a
vivosmart).
For lunch, tried
Wingstop. OK. Not really that exciting. Although, the staff is very friendly and helpful.
In "Resureksyon", an OFW arrives in a casket. During the wake, she wakes. She turns some people in the town like her. But her intention is get her child. Huh? She could have easily turned him into one since they were sleeping in the same room.
In between my movies, had fishball for snack.
In "Hotel Transylvania 2", Drac is back! This time, he is a vampa (vampire grandfather). Fearing that his daughter will leave him in her hope for her son to live a "normal" life, he must bring out the monster in his half-human-half-monster grandson. What I like about this is how it shows the relationship of each of the character has with each other. Cute. Funny. Warm. Like.
Part 2 of my snack is
Razon's halo-halo and
pancit luglug.
Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials
Took 11:18 minutes per kilometer for my 1.59km walk.
After several weeks without movie, will now watch
Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials. This is so I can claim my free movie ticket from BPI Amore. I still have two coupons for free movies and another coupon for a free meal either at
Italianni's or
TGI Friday's. Will schedule my free lunch. Hehehe!
Bought my lunch at
Burger King and will have to eat it inside the cinema.
After escaping a deadly maze, a group of young people has to escape again and survive the unforgiving desert. Some questions left unanswered in the first movie has been answered... but not all. I guess, all this will be answered in the last installment of the trilogy. Like.
After the movie, attended the anticipated Mass and had dinner at
Food Choices before proceeding home.
Partial Annual Physical Examination
Received the result of my APE. The following is to note:
High HDL Cholesterol, 64.61 mg/dL (reference 40-60)
High ALDL, 111.04 mg/dL (reference <100)
Low MCHC, 32.90% (reference 33.4-35.5)
Thoracic dextroscoliosis, unchanged
Did not have result of my stool and urine as I submitted it beyong cut-off.
Recommendation for the elevated LDL: increase physical activity, low fat diet.
Treatment For My Back Pain
As soon as the mall opens, was already at
Glorietta. My 90 minutes AP Balance and Body Treatment at
KARADA is for 10AM. Wanted to be early so that there would be few patients. My therapist is Lady Lyn.
Every morning, I feel pain in my lower back when I wake up. And
surfing, it always points to bad posture. The pillow under my knees used to work; now, no more. Decided to try KARADA's posture correction shirt.
Had lunch at
Bistro Ravioli. Warm water with my spinach and feta cheese ravioli. Went to
True Home at
Greenbelt 5 to look for an insulated tumbler or mug. The warm water I drink is usually placed on a glass. Instructed that there should be a spoon when putting in hot water to avoid breakage. With an insulated tumbler or mug, there is no need to do so. Bought an
Aladdin insulated mug.
For
meryenda, bought a small
bilao of
pansit luglug at
Razon's and an 8-piece bucket of
Jollibee Chickenjoy before taking a taxi home. Rained.
Finally, My Freebie
Made a
12:09min/km on a 1.51 km walk.
After the walk, tried again to redeem my free meal at
TGI Friday's. Finally, was able to do so. My freebie is fish and chips. Ordered, too, a Ceasar salad with warm water.
Since I have a schedule for an AP Balance and Body Treatment tomorrow, bought a gift certificate at
KARADA to avail of the 10% discount.
Decided not to watch a movie. Maybe, next Saturday. So just walked. The better to have many steps, my dear. I was able to make 13,351 steps.
Attended the anticipated Mass and had dinner at
The Landmark's food court. I was actually toying of buying an elliptical to complement my recumbent bike (since
JB Sports still have their sale up to this month). This is to have an exercise on my upper body. Was able to buy walking weights at The Landmark, instead. Definitely, much cheaper than an elliptical! Hehehe!
Did some groceries (including Nana's diapers) before proceeding home.
Warm Water
Whenever I have a treatment at
KARADA, they let me drink warm water before the treatment. Says this removes the toxin.
Surfing, bumped into the
benefits of drinking warm water. So, before my morning exercise, will drink a cup of warm water. c",)
Freebies
Walked my way to
Glorietta. It's 12:31min/km for the 1.47km
walk. I wonder if that is fast or not...
Since I still have 3 coupons, decided to use one at
Italianni's for a free Sicilian Salad (lunch portion). Also ordered Carbonara (lunch portion) plus warm water. Will keep the other 2 coupons for a free movie and a free meal at
TGI Friday's.
Don't feel like watching the movies being shown in the cinemas, so walked. The problem with window-shopping, you sometimes get to buy what you are not supposed to. Hehehe! Anyway, ticked off the item on my to-do list: buy ink cartridges for my printer.
Attended the anticipated Mass and had dinner at
Bulgogi Brothers. We have to walk our way to
Greenbelt 5 as Bulgogi Brothers is no longer sharing space with
Modern Shanghai at
Glorietta 2. I won't be seeing my friends for three Saturdays as they would be going on a Europe trip. Used my free coupon at Bulgogi Brothers and got us a free Tofu Steak.
