Read NextDURING my 20s and my competitive years as an athlete, I often show off my light abs to my friends, asking them to feel my tummy. Back then people used to snicker: "Wait until you reach your mid 50s, then we'll see how flat it is." Well, I no longer compete in my weightlifting sports but guess what? I still have a flat tummy. I'm a living proof that any person can whip his/her abdominal area into shape. Now that I am in my senior years, I still ask people to feel my tummy. It seems that no matter where I go, people who know me tell me that I look the same, only the hair is no longer as thick as before. I can tell you, keeping my abs flat and firm in my sixties is not as simple as it was during in my twenties. Thirty years ago, I could occasionally slack off on my abdominal routine sometimes for as long as two weeks and not notice a difference. |

We actually consign it to memory that easily fades. Even Selga used that: "The oldest people of Basco declared that never before in their lives had they witnessed a storm of equal fury." A storm that raged over Capiz on Nov. 20-22, 1870, was "considered worst of those which the old people could recall." And yet, "rivers overflowed, public buildings gave way, bridges collapsed, many houses carried away. In Sigma the water rose to an unprecedented height. Unfortunately the casualties were many." |
