ASMSI - UAE Chapter Monthly Birthday Celebrations

It was then agreed that to strengthen the camaraderie between alumni other than the regular event of ASMSI - UAE Chapter there should be one day event every month just to bond with fellow alumni and that is the Monthly Birthday Celebration.

So last Thursday night I was able to attend for the first time the birthday celebration of one of our member and it was held at Jumeirah Open Beach.

The One Celebrated His Birtyhday, Kuya Reynaldo Sin

The celebrant prepared 3 menus which includes lumpiang shanghai, caldereta, kare kare and the others brought some also like, fruit salad, softdrinks, chips, fruits, juices, water and rice.

As I have observed everyone enjoyed the food that was prepared by Kuya Sin.

After eating time some members took time chatting with their batches especially the youngsters (the older batch of The Sisters of Mary School), others had fun teasing each other, and some played patintero while I was busy taking photos with the help of my tripod.

Then as announced the ASMSI - UAE  Chapter Execom and Adhoc Committees had a brief meeting about the upcoming Christmas Party.

It was a fun filled night and I hope there will be more monthly birthday celebrations such like these. How about you guys? How was your weekend?

THE "BEAT DIABETES" WALK

 

Last Friday Morning we participated for the first time to the "Beat Diabetes" walk at Oasis Center. This charity walk is the most popular diabetes awareness programme campaigned by Landmark Group.

We came that day right before the walk started, took our shirts, cap and towel then move to the queue for diabetes logo face painting,

There was a mass warm up conducted by Fitness First for all participants before the walkaton begun.

SMALL HOT ROOM

When you say small hot room it usually refers to sauna. It is a small room designed to be heated to very high temperatures with well-controlled humidity and it is a place to experience dry or wet heat sessions.

Currently I have two flatmates who are enrolled to the gym with a goal of getting in better shape. Each month they are allowed to bring one guest to the gym and it happened that I was one their guest for about two times already. And since I don't really need to burn calories so I prefered to stay at the pool and sauna.

I hate cold places but the more I hate a closed room where I can't almost breath just like a small hot room which is sauna. But thinking of it's benefits I have entered a sauna for the first time in my life and stayed their for about 20 minutes. At first I couldn't really breath especially when a small amount of water was splashed on a hot fragrant rocks at the corner of the room. Few minutes later I was already sweating and I felt like all the toxic of my body are coming out from pores of my skin. I felt so relaxed when we left that small hot room.

Oh yeah since I was sharing you these let me as well share you the benefits of sauna. It is actually so relaxing and leaves your body soothed and your mind serene. It's main advantage lies in the fact that it promotes sweating, helping the body to rid itself of toxins. It is also believed that exposure of the skin to heat stimulates the production of white blood cells and strengthens the immune system.

And all other benefits of sauna includes;

• increases and improves the rate of blood circulation and breathing.
• it burns about 300 calories per average session so it  will help you lose weight and stay fit and healthy.
• a profuse sauna-induced sweat followed by a shower cleanses your skin far more thoroughly than just taking a shower.
•  the heat and humidity of the sauna diffuses the pain and relaxes tired muscles.
• it is essentially a place to relax. Regular sauna adepts all agree that it effectively helps relieve physical and mental fatigue and stress.

JET SKIERS ON THE MOVE

For the first time Hubby was able to visit Abu Dhabi and it was because i have invited him for Fr. Al's Testimonial Lunch and ASMSI - UAE Chapter 3rd Year Anniversary Celebration at Cassels Hotel.

After the event all attendees headed to Emirates Palace for a chance that we may able to visit the place but sad to say we were not able to get inside because we don't have a booking for that visit....so then the group decided to go to at the Corniche Breakwater near Marina Mall where we had our picture takings and viewing of the jet skiers who simply showed how they leapt high off one wave after another, landing with a crash and a splash.

With a sudden spurt of speed this men came to splash water on fellow jet skiers.

 And so as this two other men..

The other men tried to splash water to his opponent but it didn't even reach. 

This speed boat tried to join the group of jet skiers also...
