What’s an Oreo Molina?

Oreo is a sandwich cookie with two chocolate wafers stuffed with sweet creme filling.  Molina is a brand name for an extra virgin olive oil.  Dunking an all-time-favorite cookie in oil doesn’t sound appetizing at all, it’s even downright gross.

This post is not about combining a healthy food with an unhealthy one to make a “healthy” recipe. This is about a person I know who is “healthy” physically and in so many ways, my trainer, Juan Paolo Tumalad.  What is the connection? check my title.

Instead of declaring his real name at work, he’d rather use Oreo as his first name and Molina as his last name. Behind the reason for the name, he likes Oreo so much that he’d rather eat it with ketchup.  Yes, you read it right, ketchup with an Oreo cookie.  Sounds weird, but that’s how he likes his food. Sweet and sour, salty and sweet, and the list goes on.

Molina is his middle name.  I do not know the reason behind it, but I have one assumption.  That is, Oreo is a mama’s boy, an “independent” mama’s boy.  The difference between an independent and dependent one is that the latter usually does not have his own decision. Oreo can definitely decide for himself. After a visit at his house in Las Pinas, I saw how he respects and assists his mom, how he talks to her in a caring tone. Being an independent  mama’s boy is not bad, in fact it says so much about a person on how they respect people. He is also a provider to his parents.

He is very professional.  He is just twenty-four years old, but he has experienced a lot of operational positions: from being a Mentor to Operations Manager.  Since he got ill from the daily commute with working outside, he opted to work from home instead. In less than a year, he already got promoted to a Senior Executive Program Trainer.

As a child, he had experience with both television commercial and educational program. Remember Epol Apple? If you are a 90’s kid, you probably watched that morning program. He learned a lot of English language rules doing that program, which could explain why he is fluent in English, being exposed at an early age. How about that Sunlight laundry bar television commercial, precedent to Surf laundry detergent?  He was Lumen’s kid wearing a boy-scout uniform.

He also choreographs cheerleading steps and stunts to different schools. He also finds time to assist MyOutD trainees with outdoor activities such as filming.  He acts as director and sometimes as a special participating actor.

All in all, this post is about a healthy person who lives his life to the fullest.  Below is a recipe for a healthy life:

Have a healthy diet.

Have a healthy relationship with your family.

Have a healthy connection with friends

Have a healthy passion with learning new things for career growth

Have a healthy outlook in life.

Live life to the fullest!
