Self-serve frozen yogurt shops are getting more and more popular because they are trendy, and it’s a cheap way to get a sweet treat with a variety of flavors and toppings. Like Ever Tried it on Facebook. Is it as healthy as they say? In moderation, sure; but it can easily to get out of...
Run for your life
I’m into action movies, and watching old entries from a particular movie saga is a hobby of mine; especially action flicks with a returning actor. Earlier this week, I re-watched the 1996 release of Mission Impossible with Tom Cruise. Like Ever Tried it on Facebook. I want to chat...
Choose your Plate
The USDA recently unveiled an initiative to help people stay active and fit. This may sound old and boring, but balanced nutrition is still the key to getting fit, and staying that way. And that’s the ugly truth. Like Ever Tried it on Facebook. The initiative (MyPlate) provides a...
Home made seafood
I really believe it’s the over-mixing of ingredients to create (or replicate) bold flavors that makes certain folks believe that cooking healthy (or even just cooking for that matter) is a daunting task. Good and healthy home made food isn’t difficult to make. It just takes a little...
A bright idea
I stumbled on this defining photograph in the early release stages of the “Ever Tried it” concept. I spent a lot of time developing the entire project; and it completely split my mind to take a step back and look at things from another level. My excitement was too great, and my...
Bringing sexy back
For me, driving cars is like what meditation is to a monk; it’s part of my lifestyle. Some time ago, I itched for a different type of motoring thrill; little did I know the rotary roar of a Racing Beat 6 speed Mazda RX-8 GT would scratch it. A few of years ago, I sold my Honda Prelude...
Home made granola
Granola is a healthy choice for snacks or dessert. Inspired by Alton Brown’s Good Eats, here is my adaptation at a delicious granola treat. With simple ingredients and a few minutes of preparation time, this treat will leave you wanting for more. Plus it’s a good source of...
Stretch your body, stretch your life
If you want to perform better, improve flexibility, range of motion, avoid injury, increase muscle growth, or simply feel awesome in your body, don’t dismiss stretching. I ignored it for a while, and I paid a steep price. A couple of years ago, I suffered from Plantar Fasciitis, a well known condition of heel pain. This type of injury generally occurs overtime when the foot part of the body sustains an overload of physical activity without properly being stretched regularly. During my rehabilitation through intense stretching and hydro therapy, I learned the injury stemmed from my hamstrings being tight from the hips area down to the...
BWM Custom Car PC in...
During my early college years, before I owned the Honda Prelude I sold a few years ago, I used to drive a 1986 BMW 325i V6 Sedan. My passion for cars has taken be back to my roots. Before I jump into the project specifics, I should explain why I chose to buy this car… In mid 2003, BMW...
Street running
Running is one way to get some good exercise, but it shouldn’t be one’s only form of exercise. I don’t run very often, but when I do, I’m all about speed, pace, and rhythm. Long distance running has never been my thing. It’s nothing against marathons or anything; I just prefer to run shorter distances (3 to 6 miles) at a faster pace, and work at keeping my heart rate higher than average. Maintaining high intensity, control and steady breath work during long stretches of extreme effort is what it’s all about for me because it’s the type of training I need for high intensity sports like Basketball and...
1993 Honda Prelude
A few years ago, I parted ways with my dear college car, a 1993 Honda Prelude Si 2.3 L. It was a hard decision then, but it was the right time to move on and chase after new, bigger and better dreams. If you like this car, check out 6+ Years in 46 photos…for the memories. When I wasn’t deep in my books, I was outside working on my car. I did all the work myself, and that’s how I developed a passion for cars. I’m grateful for all the lessons I’ve learned while owning it, and I’m also thankful to have met so many folks sharing the same passion. I honestly believe the phases I’ve taken this car...
