To improve our ability to get things done, we need to break these bad habits for us to be productive.

Bad Habits is to Bad Productivity, and Bad Productivity is to Bad Habits.

It’s time to break these bad habits and free ourselves from stress, additional effort, and sloth.

Some of us think that this is a great way to do more tasks in one setting. Multitasking may seem like a good idea, but this often leads to unproductiveness. Many things get started, yet nothing is done on time. It is best to concentrate on the most important task first, before starting something else.

One of the most common bad habits nowadays is to check our social media accounts while doing our tasks. This habit breaks our concentration whenever there’s a new post or notification. Keep your smart phones on silent mode, and log out from any social media sites whenever you’re on your desktop.

Having an unclean work or study area most likely equates to unorganized thoughts. Your concentration will certainly break seeing all the clutter in your area. It is best to work or study in a clean and spotless desk.

Another bad habit that breaks your concentration is eating snacks while working/studying.  Most likely you would get so consumed with what you’re eating, instead of what you are working. It is best to have a healthy meal or snack before working or studying.

This is one of the most common bad habits we all have. We tend to think that our task is supposed to be done, and think other fun things as well, or think what’s on the tube right now. Make it a habit to do self-reinforcement by talking positively to yourself. Make sure also, that you have got to walk the talk. Overcoming it takes a long while, but we also must enforce discipline into our own actions.

Some of us would start working on what’s on top of our files our desk, leaving the most important task behind since it’s on the most bottom part of the file. It is best to scan all the tasks that you need to do and make a checklist and rate them on its priority.

Before breaking all of the bad habits, access yourself first what bad habits you currently have and what habits you need to break to improve your productivity.

It is time you replace your bad habits with better ones.

It started when I have this friend who keeps on tweeting about this pizza place in Cagayan De Oro City. It’s called Pizza Freddo and she’s been blabbing about it personally and online! I honestly got curious and planned to check the place out.

We all have those days when we crave for something, and our taste buds would seek for a certain tang. This time, my taste buds are craving for carbonaras, so I tagged my two other buds to check out the place.

There’s another branch of Pizza Freddo in Gran Europa but the one we went to was the one in Patag, right in front of the day care center.

My friend ordered her favorite Carbonara Chicken, and I followed suit. I made a point to her that I have set my expectations high because of her constant blabbing on how good it is.

And alas, IT REALLY WAS!

I am no food critic, so I can’t describe how good it was with all those flourish words but all I can say is that my expectations were met. It succeeded my expectations, actually. All those craving I had was gone. It had the right cheesy taste that my taste buds enjoy. Not too much, and definitely not bland. I can say that their carbonara is definitely the best one I’ve tasted so far. 

And the aftermath? Well, look, Ma!

Their Carbonara’s are worth a hundred and thirty bucks and it was all worth it. Quality is indeed their recipe.

They also have other home-made pastas and pizzas as well, for a very reasonable price.

Go and check Pizza Freddo out!: http://4sq.com/1BTTFtQ

Everybody loves to indulge on cold waters especially during summer as their way to beat the summer heat. And what else will be better than dipping into it and feel refreshed?

In Iligan City, normally, when you ask the locals the best places to chill, common answers will be Tinago Falls, and Timoga.  However, there’s another place that is now getting a lot of attention from tourists and locals who wants to take a dip in a cold spring water during this scorching season.

Around 25 minutes from the City proper, Lawis Natural Springs is another hidden gem of the City. Located in Barangay Buru-un, Lawis will definitely satisfy your need to relax and unwind in a nature scenery.

Surrounded by tall coconut trees, a calming breeze from the springs will welcome you after a few minutes stroll from the main highway. The nature scenery is at its most charming and dipping in an icy-cool, crystal clear freshwater is the best part.

There are cottages that can be used, surrounding the natural springs, which ranges from P75 to a hundred bucks. Few mini-stores are present, and also Karaoke’s for those who would love to sing their hearts out while relaxing.

The narrow and rock-strewn path from the highway to the springs could’ve been better to provide easy access for the tourists, however, it can be considered as part of the challenge for those adventure-seeking nature lovers.

Lawis has a potential to be another well-known tourist spot in the region, and the best way to preserve this God-given gift, is to be well-disciplined in maintaining the cleanliness of our nature.

Alright. I think some of you might think that this post’s too childish or I am too old to blog about the Power Rangers, but hey, I’m still a kid at heart, and in case you haven’t noticed, all of your childhood cartoons/shows are being rebooted to the silver screen and into tv series as well. Not only Marvel’s superheroes are raking money, reviews and fans, but also, the Power Rangers franchise. The reboot of the first Power Rangers is currently in the works by Lionsgate (Hunger Games, Divergent, etc.) which will be in theaters in 2016. Yeah, I am excited about that, but that’s not what this post is about.

The new season of the Power Rangers is here, and I must say, it’s a lot different from the last two seasons since Saban bought back the rights of the franchise from Disney.

I’ve read a lot of negative comments, and reactions from fans about Power Rangers Samurai and Megaforce (including that awful Super Megaforce), and that includes me. I literally had to skip these two seasons and prefer watching the Sentai or the Japanese counterpart of these seasons. Samurai and Megaforce was dropdown horrible, from acting, to dubbing, and most importantly, the storyline.

This new season titled Power Rangers: Dino Charge, judging from its pilot, will be a good season. Take note of the opening credits! No more roll calls, the casts pauses and smiles to the camera like what we usually see in the first few seasons of the Power Rangers series, and the awesome editing of the clips that fit to the series’ new/revamped theme.

“Powers from the Past”, the season’s pilot, begins with two teenagers, Tyler and Shelby, finding themselves in possession of powerful Energems, ancient artifacts that date back to the times of the prehistoric age. It is not long before the two find themselves under attack from monstrous forces seeking to acquire the Energems.

For starters, all of the cast is good-looking. They are all telegenic. If you are all about the actors’ looks, the red ranger, Brennan Mejia, looks like Zac Efron in side view. That alone is enough… I guess. Acting, you say? Well, I think that they are definitely better than the casts of Megaforce. (Camille Hyde, the pink ranger’s acting skills, is fairly promising.)

Regardless of how cheesy the show is, I always look forward for the story-line, and Dino Charge has IT. It has a rich story-line that would make us think of what will happen next, or who will be whom. It makes our minds work even it’s just a television show for kids.

I thought I’d give up rooting for the Power Rangers series, but Dino Charge definitely made me stick to it for a bit longer. I guess we all have to thank Judd “Chip” Lynn for coming back as the producer and giving us a good pilot for this series.
