Biggies...

I came home early today, flip flop some mouthful of food morsels and tried catching up on some TV programs when I chanced upon " The Biggest Loser -Asia" after watching "Royal Pains". I wasn't expecting a lot from reality shows but the drama and action is really pretty real, man. The big surprise of all is that these people have serious weight problems and they are in ASIA. I could see their nationalities ranges from Indonesia, Malaysia, Hong Kong, India, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. Boy! These are people from our nearby countries and we ain't actually angels lugging our extra pounds of weight around our legs, bodies and tummies! Yup! We could actually end up like them somehow one way or another. That's why this show is really relevant in our lives minus all the manipulation and the worldly what-nots during elimination period, of course! That to me is the humanistic manipulation of survival . These people seriously worked their socks off trying to shed the extra pounds they have gained over the years. Obesity is a really serious stuff. OK now! All those vain ladies who weighs just nice can stop looking at the mirror and complain that they are fat! Yup! I have seen too many ladies who look absolutely gorgeous complaining that they look fat when they are really good -looking. So, to those ladies out - Stop the nonsense and have some self esteem, ok? You need to look good for your man! As for the men, we need to work out indefinitely -not because we want to look good but mainly for our health and NOT to chase some Chinese nationals floozies or shall we call it United Nations skirties, ok? If you have that intentions, you might as well take some potent aphrodisiac capsules prepared by some quack medicine man with you so that you can have one big heart attack and die gracefully atop your China doll or dolls or skirties, whichever you prefer! By the way, I just want to make my stand crystal clear that I can't stand men who are not faithful to their wife! Note that I used the singular form call 'wife' nor not wives! Yup! We may all have our naughty moments in life but being faithful and staying faithful in your marriage is equally important - no lame excuses , no buts and no ifs!
Coming back to the show, I really had a good time watching the program especially with Dave Nuku and Kristy Curtis [ the trainers ] drilling the participants in shape. These are really practical exercises that could be carried out. Things like weight training, boxing moves , runs and exercises could all be carried out by all of us effortlessly. It was also quite dramatic seeing the participants carrying out the challenges of climbing up the sliding water tower. It was excruciating for them especially with their weight around to get hold of the steel railing to climb up to the top of the water slide tower. I guess, that's the moral of the story - lose the pounds, cut the fat & slobbery and start to live! Like all reality shows, there will be elimination and so on. I guess, on this show, everyone wins because they get the finer tips on how to lose weight indefinitely in a systematic manner and that's priceless, man. Everyone loves a winner but I find that in such a competition, everyone is already a winner - they get to keep their lives and live healthily! One up for the once-upon-a- time biggies!
