My Plan To Lower My Weight

After Imee's leg amputation, I started to find some answers on how I could improve my health. So it is with a little bit of self-interest that I dove deep into diabetes and dieting. The Internet isn't just for porn or downloading music. I began with looking for what the terms mean - what is and what is that. I feel that things are somehow connected. That one thing happening again and again must be telling me something. The Internet is also full of trash and lies. So if I'm not making sense now, forgive me, but I want to tell my journey before I learn it all. I'm excited and maybe naive but I don't want to be dishonest.

My weight is 200 lbs, that's 90.7 kilograms in metric. I'm 51 years old, male. The only physical exertion I do was my bike - when I ride it to buy stuff 500 meters away. I thought it safe to assume I do this everyday for our purpose here. The earliest symptoms that I am in trouble came in 2015. I experienced dizziness and increased palpitations for a few minutes and it went away. At that time my blood pressure is slightly elevated at 127/80. My father died of heart disease back in 2004.

I got myself a standard blood work and went to my doctor. My doctor got my history and saw my blood work. He gave me a prescription for rosuvastatin, losartan and febuxostat. He advised me to get 1 hour of exercise daily or at least 3 hours a week. I think he knew that the weakest link in his proposal is the exercise. He told me twice. For my prescribed medicines, I had to look it up. Rosuvastatin is for my elevated cholesterol level. Losartan is for my blood pressure. Febuxostat is for my elevated uric acid level. It would be explained to me much later by a Youtube talk from Dr. Paul Mason, that these three things are connected.

ZFS Unable to System Snapshot, bpool is Full?

I first encountered the problem after a routine update / upgrade of the system. Well there was a kernel upgrade and I have not checked how many old kernels are still left for backups in /boot. Apparently, there was a few and the partition is 85% full. Every software update included a warning because of the restriction in disk space. Also, zfs could not create snapshots. It is also full. This is not very clear to me. Snapshots were suppose to be diff copies so why would it take up a large space. Most of the snapshots are less than 2MB. Or 0MB. Another problem that popped up is the constant freezing of Rhythmbox. I don't know if the config files are corrupted. The CPU cycles from one to the next. Peaks for 5-6 seconds then on to the next CPU. This forced me to download Clementine and Audacious. But both applications do not find the zfs pool or don't show the zfs structure. Why not? My final solution is to reinstall Rhythmbox via snaps. I re-scanned the music libr

Renter's ID and Business Licensing 2023

Last year's business permit application involved an undertaking of submitting lessee list to the Barangay in order to get them ID's including one for the lessor himself. I received a letter of notification just before New Year's Day. It informed me that I might be denied renewal of permits because I did not comply with this undertaking. So the Renter's ID is a serious thing now. When I went ahead and applied for a business permit renewal at the local government office everything went well except they want my list of lessee. So I had to backtrack and go to the Barangay and submit the list. They produced the ID's and I provided the photo ID's and of course have it signed by the lessee. After that, they pointed me to the cashier to pay the taxes and permit fees which totaled php15,305.00 ($280.33) During the payment of Fire and Safety department, they reminded me to bring my fire extinguisher official receipts of payment. I can pick up my new pe
