Nike Training in Dumaguete

http://www.niketraining.com.ph/?ref=phlanding&sitesrc=phlanding
This sedentary lifestyle (the time I uprooted myself here in Negros) will backfire sooner than expected if I don't slug this out.

So, I train with Manny Pacquiao, Kobe Bryant, Roger Federer, Christiano Ronaldo, Maria Sharapova and Liu Xiang to complement my twice a week laps in the Aqua Centre.

It's been a year since my last workout, and for crying out loud, Dumaguete still lacks a good fitness gym! I have found one in the downtown area. Cramp. Extra cramp. Extra fees for locker and shower. And requires a pair of shoes exclusively for workout and blah blah blah. And there's another one at the basement of the Aqua Centre that looks rather seedy. And I need a good scooter to lift myself (8 km.) to the city center.

Over the radio, I heard a plug of another one. No contact detail was given though. Have to ask around. Tennis training has to wait. MY BEER BELLY! BY GOLLY! hahahhahahah

Why Waldorf Works - Introduction

http://www.whywaldorfworks.org/04_AWSNA/index.asp
"We love Waldorf kids. We reject some students with 1600s on their SATs and accept others based on other factors, like the creative ability Waldorf students demonstrate."
—Donna Badrig, Associate Director of Undergraduate Admissions for Columbia University




Waldorf Education:

* Is based on a profound understanding of human development
* Provides a detailed, richly artistic curriculum that responds to and enhancesthe child's developmental phases, from early childhood through high school
* Cultivates social and emotional intelligence
* Connects children to nature
* Ignites passion for lifelong learning
* Is the fastest growing educational movement in the world



"The advent of the Waldorf schools was in my opinion the greatest contribution to world peace and understanding of the century."
—Willy Brandt, former Chancellor of West Germany, former Waldorf parent, 1971 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate
