Will You Fit In Japan?

June 14, 2008 · Print This Article

Hot off the e-press! Japan is setting a waistline limit for its citizen. As part of the country’s healthcare program, Japan sets a strict limit of 33.5 in. waistline for men and 35.4 for women. This measure (pun) will help the government to prevent deadly diseases related to obesity. Penalties for those who exceed the limit includes up to 6 months of re-education about proper diet and nutrition. So, it’s either you move it or pop some diet pills (of course with professional medical supervision).

    osit teka mga sis at bro, lalo ka na ron,

    off topic lang

    yung technorati ko bumababa ng bumababa. within two days naging 247 from 297

    ano ba nangyayari? is it because na nagpopost tau ng ka pepe kaya bumababa? o totoo yung balita na ang link ay per blog lang at validity ay 6 mos?

    kung ganun dapat siguro maglagay tayo ng special place sa blogroll natin ng “exchange links”. yun lang ang naiisip ko na paraan, kasi ang meme mga kakilala din natin ang nagawa. wala ding gravity sa technorati. bumaba ang rating ko sa ilang ka pepe gawa nyang technorati na yan. sa palagay nyo? ideas? pangit ba pag ganun?

    BTW, parekoy ang ganda na ng bahay mo haha. mayroon din ako theme na ganito kaya lang di ko magamit, nosebleed ang instruction haha

    BLUE,
    baka exempted sila kasi somehow national identity na din sila. hehe.

    AMBO,
    pero ako naa appreciate ko itong move na ito kasi it shows that their government is concerned with their health. also, naturally slim naman almost lahat ng japanese so di gaanong mahirap ito for them i think. :D
    PUGngo,
    hehe oo nga. magtu-tourist na lang ako.

    BLUE,

    i dont think dahil sa ka pepe. naranasan ko na yan around march or april. from ~800 authority ngayon 80 na lang ako. hahaha!

    eventually i found out na linkbacks (which is the basis for authority) expires after 6 months for technorati.

    it makes sense kasi i launched yung desktop meme sept of 2007 so tama nga na march or april nagbabaan trati rank ko.

    as for the linkback portion, hmm.. ayoko kasi sa ganyan. naiinis kasi ako sa mga makiki link tapos hindi naman dumadalaw sa blog ko after non. hahaha! kaya ayaw ko din naman sila i link tapos di ko naman sila mabibisita. so wag na lang. pero ikaw… ;)
    in net, dapat consistently may nagli linkback syo para ma maintain mo rank mo sa trati.

    re: theme.. madali lang sya kalikutin. actually it was easier than i thought.

    “….ayaw ko din naman sila i link tapos di ko naman sila mabibisita. so wag na lang. ”

    LOL. I have a dozen on my links but only a handful care to visits. I don’t care anymore if they’d forgotten to comment or forced to comment pero if I see their traces, oks na. I seldom reply to every comments na talaga these days but I am thankful some people still leave messages, including you.

    And I am liking your theme, ano ‘to quarterly basis?

  8. iRonnie on June 21st, 2008 10:32 pm

    K,
    the theme is a prize i recently won in a contest. first time kong nanalo sa internet and im glad i won this. hehe.

    simple lang naman panuntunan ko kasi sa linking. if i love your blog, i’ll link to it without requiring a link back. if you link to me, i’ll return the favor. pero kapag naramdaman ko na you only after a link back, i’ll remove you from my blogroll. hahaha!

    tama ba namang gawain yan?!?! LOL
    makapag-diet na nga ulit!
    katawa!Ü

    “…pero kapag naramdaman ko na you only after a link back, i’ll remove you from my blogroll.”

    Eh papano kung they’d stop visiting/commenting na, de-linked na rin? Aha, I might do that…. unless no updates or whatever talagang OUT na sa blogroll.

    I’m not in the idea of leaving comments to a blog just for the sake of commenting dahil nasa link ko sila….

    Ok, I’m whining!

  11. iRonnie on June 23rd, 2008 6:44 pm

    K,

    di naman sa ganoon. pero sa tagal ko kasing nagba blog somehow i know if linkbacks lang ang habol ng isang blogger. intuition na siguro. lolz

    ako kasi bihira din ako mag iwan ng comment though i read those nasa rss reader ko kaya alam kong may mga taong ganon din. ah basta! hahaha!

    may mga blogs nga akong binabasa na hindi ko pa naa-add sa blogroll ko though nasa reader ko sila. i just think that bloggers who are here to enjoy blogging does not concern themselves too much on blogrolls. sa ganang akin yun…

    ZETH,
    buti sa bahrain wala nyan. hahaha!

Got something to say?
