A Gift for Brother

2012-01-24T17:28:00.000-08:00

On Saturday, my eldest brother Edwin will be celebrating his 44th birthday! Wow, time flies so fast! I still clearly recall the those times when my brother would carry me around the village. He would get me right after his class and play with me and tour me around the village as if he is so proud that I am his sister. On his 44th birthday, I want to buy something special for him. Something that he needs and I know exactly what it is.

Just when he turned 35, we've noticed that he is losing hair. His forehead becomes wider and he is getting kind'a bald at the top of his head. So I guess the best gift I can give him are hair vitamins. Those vitamins promotes fast hair growth and are specifically formulated to increase hair growth rate at its maximum rate. It would definitely improve not just his appearance but his self esteem as well. He's been suffering from hair loss for quite sometime now and this is the perfect time for him to try out new things and leave the fate of his hair on hair growing solutions like what I'll about to give him. I can't wait to see how he would react to my gift and how he would look with after this treatment.

A Reunion

2011-12-09T17:01:00.000-08:00

Just last month, I have met with my best buddies Ruthie and Malen. It's been almost a year now since we last saw each other. They are my friends way back college. We went to Trinoma and ate at Yakimix. The place is very cozy and is the perfect place for special events such as this one. They do have an "eat all you can" buffet and I got really excited to see the smokeless grill that's infront of us. We reminisce about our old times together way back college and have also discussed our present life.

I've learned that Ruthie is now like the head of their QA team. It's nice to know since she's been with that company for almost ten years now. Malen is now very much into her beading business and is also planning to migrate in Singapore. I also shared with them my plans, like resigning and be a work at home professional while my hubby works overseas as a seaman. It's really nice to talk about your future goals with them as they give me a new insight on how I should live my life. I told them about my house investment and they encourage me to also get a home insurance. I neve knew that my friends are also very serious in their future plans and is now getting ready for it. They told me a site that provides the best insurance quotes there is. Checked on the site and found so many different types of insurances available. From life insurance, business insurance to retirement insurance! I would definitely let my brother check on this site at he is also looking for the best auto insurance quote for his newly purchased car.

Time flies when you're having fun indeed and after five hours of chatting and eating...we already need to part ways as they still have their shift for tomorrow. We planned of meeting again soon for our christmas party.

How to Avoid Having Toenail Fungus

2011-11-09T23:21:00.000-08:00

Woke up early today. Checked on my online store and wrote some articles on my blog early in the morning as I and hubby have to go to a salon after that. Had my monthly foot spa treatment and pedicure. Just last month, I had a very serious issues with my toe nails. Had a very painful ingrown. I'm afraid to have it removed by not so good manicurist because it already has a puss in it. I was supposed to have it pricked by a needle but thank God because I asked my nurse friend first about it and she said I should just leave it alone as pricking it would only cause much more serious complications. She advised me to just take an antibiotic and just let it subside. And in just two days, it did! It's nice to have a friend in the medical field.

I told my nurse friend about how her advise worked on me. She gave me some other pointers on how to protect my feet. She told me about Toenail Fungus. She said like me, she is also working out in a gym. She told me that her friend might've gotten it by walking barefoot in a gym shower room. She advised me to make sure I have my flip flops on whenever I go to the shower room to avoid being infected with one. Though there are a number of Toenail fungus treatment available...it's better to be safe than sorry. Treating Toenail fungus is really not complicated but being prepared is easier. Besides making sure that I don't walk barefoot in public places, she also told me to put talcum powder on my feet after bathing to help absorb excess moisture. Also, avoid adding new polish to existing polish but instead make sure that I always remove the old one. I'm really blessed to have friends with different professions and I'm so blessed to have Jaja as my personal nurse friend.

Botanical Slimming

2011-10-29T00:46:00.000-07:00

I again wasn't able to go to the gym today because my husband is sick. The plan was to get his class certification at school while I workout. We'll just gonna meet each other at the mall after two hours to have our lunch and to find stuff for my online store. However, things changed when he woke up with aching tummy. We just stayed at home the whole day. My three month gym subscription will end next month and just to be honest with you...I haven't shed a single pound. Maybe because I'm not so vigilant in going to the gym at least thrice a week. I feel as if I again failed. We'll, I think there's still hope. One of my college buddies Ruth told me that she had lost 20 pounds by taking a certain type of Botanical Slimming Pills. She let me see her before and after pictures and I was amazed by the transformation. She said she lost that amount of weight in just two months! I will definitely try this and hopefully my next weight reduction story would be as happy as hers.

Intervention

2011-10-26T19:46:00.000-07:00

Since our cable has been installed, I've been addicted to watching true to life stories at BIO. One of my most watched program is "Intervention". It is a television series wherein people are being profiled according to their dependence on drugs and alcohol or other compulsive behavior that has brought them to a point of personal crisis. Help is provided through what they call sober coach and hopes to finally help them get out of addiction. One of my favorite episodes is about a 20 year old girl who is a heroine addict. She constantly blames her mother for what happened to her life. She felt as if the one thing that triggered her rebellion that led to drug addiction is when her mom divorced her dad. The girl used to be a cheerleader and an A student during her high school year but since the divorce of her parents…she lived a different life. What’s good about this is that she recognize that she is an addict and realizes that she needs to change her way of life to be able to be free from heroine. She is very cooperative with her sober coach and had only one condition, to not let her mom participate in the healing process. She had so much anger and it is one of the reasons why she can’t move forward in her life. She agreed to get into a program that will require her to be under the supervision of a Northern California drug rehab center. After a couple of months, she was free from her addiction and was able to finally forgive her mother. She is now ready to go back to school and continue with her college education. I really get inspired by those individuals who choose to improve their lives and realizes the value of family. I hope to be able to watch more inspiring stories such as this one.

Books for Healthier Mind

2011-10-12T23:40:00.000-07:00

Finally, I was able to celebrate my 5th year in the office and I am now eligible for an early retirement pay. Yahoo! I've been blogging about my retirement for quite sometime now and I can't believe that I finally made it. I can now resign anytime, but I plan to do that on April 2012. I still need to save some money to buy my dream house. My hubby is planning to work as a seaman and if that happens, I can't work in a call center anymore since the work schedule is normally at night. Well whatever happens, God's will be done.

Anyways, since it's my restday today...I've decided to clean up my bookshelves and have found a lot, as in a lot of books I've read before and books my sister left to me before she went abroad to work. I have tons of it and some of those books, I don't intend to read at all. Her taste of books are more of novels and mystery books while I want inspirational and true to life stories one. Good thing, I was able to know an online site called BooksfreeSwap.com. It is an online book swap service that has the recipient pay for the postage. It's like sending out a bunch of books for swap without costing me anything. I would definitely like to swap her books with books that I will surely read. Check on the site for more information on how this swapping service works. Enjoy!

Excited About Christmas!

2011-09-27T17:32:00.000-07:00

Holiday season is fast approaching. In less than three months, we’ll again gonna celebrate Christmas. I already have three Christmas parties to attend to this December and as early as now, I’m already preparing for it. I enrolled myself if a gym so I could lose at least 20 pounds off my weight. I want to look good in my Christmas party dress so I really made that conscious effort to get slimmer. As early as now, I already have plans for what party dress to buy. I want one that really highlights my upper body instead of focusing on my short legs.

One thing I am excited about is my plans of using different colors of contact lens. I want a different color for each party that I’ll gonna attend. I have discovered how contact lens adds wonders to my overall image. It really changes one’s look in an instant. I usually order online through 1800contacts and VisionDirect. My sister also recommended one online shop called EZContactsUSA. My sister saw my facebook pictures with different colored contact lenses and has also been a fan of contact lens since then. I really hope this Christmas season would be an enjoyable one for all of us.

A Friend In Need

2011-08-28T17:11:00.000-07:00

I just got a call from a friend asking from monetary help. She was a childhood friend and a classmate in a preparatory school. We've been friends for more than 25 years now but just recently lost contact because she would be moving in with her parents in the north side of the country to attend to her father. She just recently found out that his father was suffering from Mesothelioma - a rare form of cancer that develops from the protective lining that covers many of the body’s internal organs which is most commonly caused by asbestos exposure. We’ve known his dad as a physically conscious man so we are really in shock to learn that he is suffering with such condition. My friend is soliciting money from friends and families so she can send his dad to a mesothelioma treatment center so she can save his father. Good thing I still have spare money to give her. I really hope his father would recover soon.

HOW TO AVOID PREMATURE EJACULATION

2011-08-21T15:58:00.000-07:00

Are you someone who isn't happy with his sexual life? Is your marriage on the brink of breaking up because of some issues with your sex life? Are you a man who normally experience premature ejaculation? Worry no more, there are a lot of people experiencing the same problem and good thing, there is a solution for that. There are now a number of premature ejaculation treatments available in the market. One of which is Dapoxetine, a new drug that is made to help men suffering from premature ejaculation. It is categorized under SSRI which are a class of drugs that are usually used to treat depression or anxiety.

Dapoxetine is a new drug and is still on a trial phase in the United States but Dapoxetine would be the first and the only drug specifically formulated for premature ejaculation so a lot of people are really excited about this. If you are asking about the side effects of this drug, we still dont know. As I mentioned earlier, it’s still in the beta phase so side effects as of this time is still unclear.

If you want to last longer in bed but doesn’t want to rush into taking in any medications yet, here are some powerful tips to help you out in your sexual performance:

FOCUS ON YOUR PARTNER:
Men shouldn’t only focus on their climax - most cases of premature ejaculation starts from that type of thinking. Men should focusing on your partner and giving her all your attention. You should not only look into your own sexual pleasure but also your patner’s as well.

TRY A SECOND ROUND:
If you failed once, make sure that you make it up to her on round two. It is unlikely to occur the second time around. She will be thrilled to know that you are up for more.

LET HER TAKE CONTROL:
Let your partner do the moves sometimes. If you’re always on missionary position when having sex, it normally increases the possibility of having premature ejaculation. If you let your partner take control of the lovemaking process, it’ll allow you to last longer in bed allowing her to dictate how things will occur.

Those are just some of the things that will help any couple deal with premature ejaculation. Wether you want to try those things out first or take in medication is up to you. I would suggest you research first on your own. Internet and books as well as word our mouth are some of the best source of information you can use to know what exactly are the cure for such condition. Stress are also one of the main causes of premature ejaculation so make sure that you take things slowly and you are relaxed before the lovemaking process.

Weight Reduction Plan

2011-07-26T21:00:00.000-07:00

Up at this point I’m still searching for that perfect formula that will let me lose weight. Getting the right shape has been my challenge for the past years. I’ve tried a lot of diets in I can find over the net but non can give me what I want. I don’t know if it’s just me or I am doing something wrong or maybe I just need to do something else. Having that in mind, I opened m y computer and started searching for things that might work for me.

For the past ten years, I’ve been struggling to lose weight. I’ve tried all the products available in the market and even tried subscribing to a gym facility but to no avail. A friend told me that eating oatmeal twice a day would definitely help me lose those extra pounds. As I search the net, I stumble across this page that informs the benefits of eating oatmeal. According to the article oatmeal contains some certain soluble fiber that helps reduce the amount of bad cholesterol in our blood stream. While it lowers the cholesterol in the body, it reduces the risk of heart problems and promotes healthy skin. One thing that catches my attention was the weight loss benefit. Oatmeal is rich in fiber which is the key for boosting your metabolism. Metabolism is the rate that your body burns calories.

To be quite honest, I am not a fan of oatmeal. I really don’t like the taste and the texture. For me, it’s like a vomit in a bowl. Yeah I know that’s gross but that’s how I see it . I told my friend about my issue with oats and I’m quite relieved when she said she feels the same way with oats before. But when she started taking some delicious protein shakes and protein bars and started losing weight which kind’a motivated her to try taking some other form of slimming food such as oats. She encouraged me to do the same and now I’m excited to try it out. I could attest on how she managed to lose a lot of weight because of eating those kinds of food which doesn’t only promote weight reduction but is also good for the health. Wish me luck!

Exchange Gift

2011-07-08T20:21:00.000-07:00

It's only been one month since my sister's family visited us from Singapore where she works but we are already missing them so much. We had been hanging out together almost eveyday for the whole week and I terribly miss our bonding moments. Well, I guess I need to get over it since it would take them another year to come visit us again. I can't do anything about it anyway.

Before their vacation, my sister asked me what I want as a gift since she wasn't able to give me a birthday gift last time. I got excited and thought of asking for a perfume, but I thought of fixing my hair issues first before anything else. So I asked her to buy me a product that would fix my dry frizzy hair. She wants me to tell her the exact product but I don't have any in mind, instead, asked her to find one for me. She then later gave me a bottle of terax crema - a conditioner that promises to revitalize stressed hair.I've tried it for the whole week after I shampoo my hair and to my surprise, my split ends were gone. My hair became healthier and bouncier. It's indeed the best hair conditioner I've tried so far as I've seen immediate results.

I was so happy that I have bought a hair flat iron for her from an online store that sells the best flat irons there is - I should know, I own one! The site sells hair products and offers free shipping. So I immediately ordered a week after they came back to Singapore and said she was surprised getting an unexpected package. She immediately called me up and thanked me for my good gesture. I'm happy she likes it. I would definitely miss her and her generosity to me and my hubby.

Help for My Brother

2011-05-07T09:07:00.000-07:00

I grew up in an environment where drinking and smoking is just a normal thing to do…especially if you’re grown up. I can still remember my father asking me to buy him a beer or two in a nearby store almost every night. I thought it was ok, I thought every father does that…as I grew older…I began to see a clear picture. My dad is suffering from alcohol addiction – also known as alcoholism.

He is not the only one who became one – even my older brother was hooked into it…worse – he turns into a different person whenever he is sober. He initiates arguments and doesn’t think twice to hurt someone if under the influence of alcohol. The addiction was so strong that it became a daily habit – a very bad habit. Slowly, he is losing his job…his family…his self respect. Everyone he loves turned their backs on him,except her mother, who never left him especially when he was admitted to the hospital due to a certain liver disease.

Some people on our neighborhood is also saying that he is alsi hooked up in drug addiction. Though I don’t really know for sure if that’s true, I feel that it’s better to get help the soonest possible time than be sorry. I’ve discussed this matter to my mother. My mom’s heart broke as she listens to the story. I would never want to see my mom like that but I need to tell her the truth so we could make some plans on how to help my brother. I asked for her opinion about sending him to a drug rehabilitation center. I’ve learned that there are a number of institutions such as New Mexico rehab that helps patients get rid of the substance. I believe they do offer several treatment programs that would help my brother to eventually turn back to drug addiction. I hope this would help him get a second chance in life.

Eating Disorders

2011-05-01T16:48:00.000-07:00

All my life I've been wanting to get fit. Never did I experienced going to the beach wearing a swimsuit. I am totally ashamed of my body and I am always on a constant look on how to get rid of these extra weight off my body. I tried almost every weight loss program available and though some of it worked for sometime, I would always easily regain the weight. I began accepting who I am after so many years of struggling but I am still hoping that my dream of wearing a tight fitting jeans would soon come to reality.

Just recently while browsing the internet, I stumbled upon a site that tackles topics about eating disorder. I began browsing through the entire site and found out that there is a place where people like me can get Eating Disorder Treatment. I've learned that there are a number of eating disorders and each one of those needs to have a certain type of treatment. Anorexia, compulsive eating and binge eating disorder are some examples of these disorders and some of them are deadly. Take for example bulimia, which is characterized by avoiding food intake for a period of time followed by an over intake that results in feelings of guilt. Then the sufferers normally attempts to overcome such guilt and low self esteem by defensive vomiting. As a result there are a number of complications that may arise from these repeated act. One of which is ruptures of the stomach and esophagus and the most severe ones are irregular heartbeat and possible heart attack. If you suspect that one of your family members does have such eating disorders, you need to help them find the best Bulimia Treatment available. Your family needs your support on this as most of the victims deny having such conditions. I don't know if I am suffering from binge eating but if I am, I would definitely seek help from those Binge Eating Disorder Treatment Institutions available. I guess all I need to do right now is to see my doctor and if I was found guilty of binge eating...I would seek help from those professionals. Wish me luck!

I was able to bond with my family last week because of my niece's graduation celebration. So happy to see my brother's family again after a year. The last time I saw them was when my sister, who is working in Singapore, had their vacation last year. It's just so happen that my work doesn't permit me to join them since I don't have the normal Saturday and Sunday days off. Well, we had our small picnic under the trees in a nearby park and also took the opportunity to talk about family matters.

I've learned from my mom that my cousin Mark has been into drug addiction. My aunt has been hiding it for years but lately confessed to my mom that she can't handle her son anymore. She doesn't know what to do and seek for my mom's support. My mom really felt bad about this. He know's the boy since childhood and he knows that not in his character would he be able to get himself into this kind of situation.

Missing My Wacky Friends

2011-04-23T18:51:00.000-07:00

If there is one single thing that I am thankful for in being able to work with my present company, is that I was able to meet the wackiest, funniest and most enjoyable gang one could ever find. I miss those times when me and my friends would go out during our rest days and watch movies or go to a bar or just spend the night on our place watching dvd's while drinking cheap beer. We are very easy to please type of people, most likely that's the exact same reason why we bonded so easily. I can't help myself but cry whenever I recall those good times we've shared together. The most unforgettable time I had with them is when we went to Recto and ate in one of those Chinese restaurants. On our way to the restaurant, we've noticed a store that sells unusual stuff. We decided to come in and check this sex shop at the end of the street that sells out different kinds of sex toys and I can't believe my eyes when I saw a number of sex toys for women. It's the first time I've gone through such store and I am pretty amazed. My friends started laughing when I asked the sales lady how the rabbit vibrator works. We laughed as if there's no tomorrow... and that is the exact thing I missed a lot from them. I hope I can bring back the past and be with my wacky friends again.

True Love

2011-04-23T18:16:00.000-07:00

I never really thought of what pain and frustration relatives of a drug addict feels until I was able to speak with an officemate. I won't tell her name as a sign of respect but I really know she's really beaten up emotionally. It's just so happen she've learned that her boyfriend four a year has been a drug dependent for 4 years now. She had no idea about it until she was able to meet the guys parents. Suddenly, the mom approached her and asked for her help. The mom confided to her and asked her if she could encourage her son to undergo a Drug Treatment. My friend was stunned and was shocked to hear that. She never thought her boyfriend does have such addiction as he never showed any hint of what he is going through. Though she can't believed her ears, she promised the mom to make sure the boyfriend would change and that she would encourage him to take Drug Treatment Programs that would help him treat his drug addiction. She then asked the boyfriend and at first, the boyfriend denied it but eventually gave in. He promised his girlfriend that he would do everything she says just to keep the relationship going and one of which is to seek help and undergo treatment on one of those Drug Treatment Centers available. It's nice to know that the guy is willing to change for the better not just to improve for himself but also to keep the love of his life. He is such a lucky guy to have found a girl who would support him on this hard ordeal. Not every girlfriend would dare to take a risk of being with a drug addict who most likely is not on his normal state of mind. I really hope this treatment would work out as expected as they are such a great couple.

My Brother's Treatment

2011-04-23T17:25:00.000-07:00

Happy Easter everyone! I hope everyone is doing well. I was supposed to go to my mother's house where she along with my older brother and my nephew is living but since it's my college bestfriend Malen's birthday...I might need to move it next week.

I am excited not just to see mom and my nephew, but also to see and talk to my older brother Elmer. We might not be that close, actually, we used to be enemies. He is just the black sheep in the family. He didn't finish his studies, he was married at the age of 18 and a father at the age of 19. He never had a "real job" and has always been dependent on my mother for everything.

He's been an alcoholic and has been an alcohol dependent since the age of 25. Now at 40, he is still struggling to get rid of that addiction. I know that he wants to change since he had his youngest son who is now three years old. He is the only one raising the kid along with my mom. I also know that he've realized that mom is not getting any younger and might not always be there all the time for him. That is the exact same reason I want to meet with him. I want to help him get rid of his addiction by encouraging him to seek Alcohol Treatment . I've learned about those Alcohol Treatment Centers through the internet and I am positive that by undergoing such Alcohol Treatment Programs will do wonders in his life. All he needs to do is to accept that he is an alcoholic and that it's doing him no good at all and to submit himself to the treatment. I hope my brother's life would be better after the treatment.

Self Hypnosis

2011-04-09T08:58:00.000-07:00

The first time I heard about the self hypnosis, I asked myself, what the hell is that all about? I bet all of us know the generic concept of hypnotism through movies and TV shows but only some knows that it does have two types. One is called "hypnotherapy", the use of hypnotism for therapeutic purposes while its use as a form of entertainment for an audience is called "stage hypnosis". I got curious about using hypnosis to heal psychological, mental and emotional stress. I also learned that there are a number of drug and alcohol dependent people who tried self hypnosis and had a 360 degree turn in their lives. Is it really possible? I have been suffering from stress lately maybe because of work and while surfing the net for any possible therapy for this, I stumbled upon a site that talks about self hypnosis. It's indeed an easy process and I guess I can do that. I would definitely try this new technique, there's no harm in trying anyway. Good luck to me!

The Wonders of Science

2011-03-17T21:39:00.000-07:00

I've been battling over my weight for the longest time. Having these big bulges and huge arms are my ultimate concerns. I can't wear those tight fitting pants and those cute sleeveless anymore because of these bulges. Been in and out of the gym for almost a year now, though I've been shedding a couple of pounds...I wasn't able to control my eating habits so I easily earn it back. My mom always reminds me of making sure I watch what I eat but when the food is already on the table...I can't control my apetite anymore.. I know I need to shed off these extra pounds now that I and my hubby already decided of having a baby next year. I won’t be able to conceive if I’m 50 pounds overweight.

I’ve tried all the available weight reduction schemes available. I took almost all the weight reduction pills that was offered to obese people like me but to no avail. I hate myself because I don’t have enough discipline to resist food temptation. I know what I need to do but doesn’t have the courage to live a healthy and active life. But I still know there is still hope for someone like me and that is by the use of Science.

I’ve learned more about Liposuction from a friend who is based in Florida USA. She just recently had a liposuction surgery from one of the top plastic surgeons in Miami. She used to weigh 150 pounds but she is now a whooping 100 pound babe. I can’t believe my eyes when she gave me a picture of herself six months ago. She had big bulges before but now she is confident enough to be in a two piece! I Also want to experience the same. I want people to see me as a confident woman not someone who is ashamed of her body. I would definitely consider having this surgery soon and I wish I can be proud of my body too.

For a Better Sex Life

2011-02-27T21:06:00.000-08:00

I know most people will laugh upon checking on this post because the topic is about something that is not normally discussed in public though it's a serious problem most men experience especially Asian men. This kind of information should be readily available to the public to inform them that they do have an option to have a better sex life. It's all about having a small penis. Most people thought it's not a big deal if you have a small male organ but a person concerned knows that it greatly affects your sex life and your marriage in totality. Not being able to satisfy your mate because of having a not so big penis is unbearable. Most marriages with no satisfying sex life usually ends up with divorce. Good thing, Science was able to find a cure for that in the form of penis enlargement pills. Those pills promise to increase penis for up to 3 inches. It also promises better sexual stamina to prevent premature ejaculation and even promises semen volume. Husbands should try this to please their wives in bed. Anyone who wants to have a better sex life should try those wonder pills and see for yourself how it improves your married life in totality.

HCG Diet

2011-01-29T23:47:00.000-08:00

As I've said before I am not happy being overweight. I wasn't able to fit into my old jeans anymore and seems like every month, a pound or two is being added into my weight. I've tried all the weight loss program available but to no avail. Then one day, I was able to browse a site that talks about a certain HCG Diet, it is either 23 or 40 Day Protocol, depending on how much weight the patient wants to lost. Both protocols does have 3 phases of the program. The HCG Diet promises to help you lose 1-3 pounds not per week but per day! Wow, that is too good to be true but a lot of people could tell that it's working for them. Imagine, as much as 21 lbs in 7 days? Amazing! I would love to hear more about this HCG Diet and how it really works and hopefully I could enroll in such program as well. Good luck to me!

Depression and Shopping

2011-01-25T22:35:00.000-08:00

I think I've been experiencing some sort of manic depression nowadays. I am always sad these past couple of days, maybe because I didn't have a chance to go to a mall for two weeks straight. I feel that everything that is happening in my life is a routine, no new things going on. I guess I could also blame my laziness. When I'm at home, I feel so lazy to go out even for a walk outside of our village. My colleague Ice told me earlier that maybe the reason why I am sad nowadays is because I didn't get enough physical activity or didn't get much sunshine. She has a point, for two weeks now, I'm always inside our house. Maybe a little shopping would help me forget about whatever it is that causes this extreme sadness. When I get my salary on Friday, I would definitely but a pair of pants, a shades and some beauty products such as Natural Skin Care Products and Mineral Make Ups. I hope buying those stuff could set my mood.

How to be Stress Free

2011-01-22T22:30:00.000-08:00

Being a call center agent, we are faced with a lot of stress. Talking to different people (most of them irate) for more than eight hours a day is indeed a heavy task. And according to health professionals, one should have at least one outlet where he could release the stress. Some people uses travelling as a tool, some reading and some their hobbies. For me, I normally play online Internet casino to de-stress myself. It's not that I'm hooked to it, I normally play especially when I feel down and wants to have some fun. I know that everything should be in moderation so I make it a point that I don't forget when to stop. So far, so good. I was able to alleviate stress and have fun and a possibility of winning always thrills me up. I'm happy I was able to find my own outlet for de-stressing myself.

Hair Supplements for My Hair

2011-01-18T21:24:00.000-08:00

I just recently had my hair dyed…again! Haha, I just cant get enough of purple red color…I need to make sure that there is no trace of black in my hair so I need to dye in once a week. I know it’s not a healthy habit especially for my hair but I can’t help it. So to make it up to my hair, I checked the net for any available hair supplements. I need to ensure that my hair would not be damaged by my constant hair coloring. I’ve seen a lot of longer hair vitamins that I can order online that promises longer healthier hair. I guess I’ve done all the hair crimes there is that is why my hair has been extremely damaged. My hair does have so many split ends and sometimes whenever I comb it, I can see a lot of falling hairs. I really need to nurture it with some fast hair vitamins to revive back its overall nutrition.

I am planning to have my hair cut short for my birthday but I am still thinking about it. Since I am overweight, I don’t think a very short hair would suit me…but I will try to make it work maybe. I just want to have something new in my life and I will start with my hair style. In a month’s time, I would be celebrating my 31st birthday…and a realization came just like a lightning in my head about what I really want to do with my life. I want to be happy…I don’t care where would this life lead me but I know what my ultimate goal is…to be happy and to be a person God wants me to be. I also want to be a source of happiness to other people. I guess I need to start by changing my perspective about life…and I am starting right now. Wish me luck!

Fight Hypertension

2011-01-02T19:46:00.000-08:00

I as a 30 year old lad, is already on the stage of my life wherein I need to know more on how to take care of my body and my health in totality. I am not getting any younger and since my mom and eldest brother both do have hypertension… I guess I’m more prone in having such condition so I really do try to research about it by checking on some magazines and books that educates people on how to lower the risk of hypertension and I stumble upon an article from Men’s Health Magazine that provides tips on how to reduce the risk of hypertension. Though hypertension in the Philippines affects almost one every six Filipinos, there is still a way on how to reduce the risk of having one. It can be summarized in three things: consult a doctor, choose a healthy lifestyle and eat whole wheat breads as part of our balance diet. I’ll tell you more about the advantages of eating wheat bread on my next article. Stay Healthy!

Hair Rejuvenation

2010-11-22T02:29:00.000-08:00

I just had my hair colored again, this time it's brunette, LOL. Unfortunately, my hair became brittle and dull, most likely because I color my hair almost every month. Good thing I have found the best hair vitamins through an online site. Not only does my hair became soft and shinny, it does also provides faster hair growth. I've noticed that only after a week of using the product, it's length increases to a quarter of an inch. So if you want to get longer hair, check on the Hair Formula 37 site - a program that offers the best hair products there is. The maker of these products invites anyone to try their Hair Formula 37 products risk free for 45 days. If anyone wasn’t able to see any dramatic result after tying their products for a month and a half, you can send it back for a refund. That’s how much they trust their products. Nothing to lose and only a beautiful hair to gain! Good luck!

All Natural

2010-11-14T09:34:00.000-08:00

It's been almost four months since I had my weight loss scheme and I can say that somehow, I succeeded. Though I only lost 15 pounds for the last four months, I still believe that it's better to slowly shed it off as it will give ample time to the body to adapt to my new eating patterns, thus, it would be very unlikely for me to gain those weight again for the next lets say three to four months. I am not in a hurry anyway, I guess, I need to just enjoy this journey. I would still give myself at least three months to lose these extra 35 lbs off my body. I am currently weighing 165 lbs. which is 15 lbs. lighter than my previous weight four months ago which is 180 lbs. I intend to lose the 15 lbs. till Christmas and another 20 lbs till my birthday in February. Woohoo! I really hope I can cope up with my weight goal schedule.

By the way, besides going to the gym...I also intend to buy natural supplements to boost up my metabolism and strengthen my body. I was able to know about natures way vitamins through my friend Melai who is into natural health products. She is more concerned about how she looks because her boyfriend from Ireland would soon visit her and she wants to make sure that she is at her best appearance when it happens so she tried drinking what she called natures way herbs which improves stamina and promotes overall health and wellness to the body. I could tell that whatever it is, it is making my friend more energetic and slimmer. Her skin also became supple and smooth. I would love to try one of those natures way products one of these days. I hope I could get the same results as what Melai had when she started patronizing those products.

Live Longer!

2010-11-02T03:35:00.000-07:00

Staring at women's breasts can lengthen a man's life expectancy.

Staring a woman's "assets" is known amongst all men as causing good sensations, but a recent study claims that it actually improves your overall health.

The author of the study, Dr. Karen Weatherby, claims that "just 10 minutes of staring at the charms of a well-endowed female, is roughly equivalent to a 30-minute aerobics work-out!" Sexual excitement gets the blood pumping and improves overall circulation. She also states that, if done regularly, ogling can add up to 5 years to a man's life!

Health and Fitness

2010-10-04T20:16:00.000-07:00

It's been three months now since I first decided to cut down my weight. I wanted to do this for health reasons as well as for overall beauty purposes. I want to look good and be able to wear nice clothes and I also wanted to make sure that my health is at it's best state. I also wanted to be a mother soon and I believe that it would be harder for obese people to conceive. I don't want my weight to be a hindrance for my happiness.

Anyways, I already lost 13 pounds for the last three months. I know it isn't much, I myself is wondering why I wasn't shedding much weight though I've been working out almost everyday for two hours minimum. It's like I only lost 5 pounds per month, not bad but far from what I expected. Maybe because I am still eating a lot at that time. I eat almost two cups of rice every meal and I still drink softdrinks after each meal. I guess I've learned my lessons. Three months of gym subscription has ended and as I renew my subscription...I would make sure that this time I would make sure that in three months, I would be able to shed at least twenty pounds.

My friend Odie, who used to be a gym instructor before told me to eat a lot of protein to boost metabolism. He also said that I need to cut down rice consumption. I really adore him for taking care of his body. He does have a great abs and strong arms. He once told me that he is taking Anadrol. I asked him once if he is not afraid of taking in drugs such as that and he told me that he never take any drugs without the knowledge of his physician. He is also taking considering taking a certain pill called winstrol, a kind of anabolic steroid.

As of this time, I am working out three times a week, eats half a cup of rice every meal, drinks green tea after each meal and makes sure that I do have at least one physical activity everyday. I pray that this time, I would be able to achieve my ultimate weight goal.

A Gift of Hearing

2010-10-04T13:24:00.000-07:00

At 65, I'm very proud to say that my mom still looks 50. She is still very healthy and still was able to go to the mall alone, go to Church activities every other day and still have time to visit us every week. I adore her energy and her outlook in life. She is indeed enjoying her life to the fullest. There is only one thing the concerns me, she is now having difficulty hearing. You need to really speak louder for her to be able to understand what you are saying. Good thing, I do have a strong voice so conversing with her is a breeze, but how about others who are not aware of her condition? How would they react if my mom was not able to respond to what they are saying?

One of these days, I'll gonna buy her one of those hearing aids to help her hear better. I believe there's also what they call digital hearing aids which is a more advanced type. I'm yet to decide as to what to buy. I guess I need to accompany her first to a specialized clinic to have her hearing tests done first to know what would best suit her needs. I hope through my own little way of helping her with her hearing problem, I can express my deep love for her.

Alternative Medical School

2010-10-04T11:22:00.000-07:00

School year is almost over and thousands of high school students are now preparing to enter College. There are a lot of options of what College course to take but for me personally, Medicine is the closest to my heart. I don't know but there is something about helping people the draws me near to that field. I took Engineering during my college days but I also remember asking my mother if I could shift to Nursing on my second year. She didn't agree to the idea and said that I should just finish what I started. So here I am, though I don't regret anything in my life...I still often think of what might've been if I followed my heart in finding the best career for me.

With that in mind, I tried searching for the best medical school available. Who knows, I might end up studying again. I was surprised to see that there is an alternative medicine school located in Arizona that offers courses in natural medicine and holistic health. It really caught my attention as this is the first time I've heard of such course in medicine. Naturopathic medicine is what they call it, it is an alternative medical system that focuses on natural remedies and the body's vital ability to heal and maintain itself. So there is really a scientific basis that body does have it's own healing powers. I can't help but stand in awe and wonder how God made our bodies so powerful that it can even heal itself. I wish I can still go to some naturopathic college so I could learn more about our own body's healing powers.

I've been having problems with my hair for the longest time. I used to have dry and brittle hair but since my sister who gave me a bottle of Kerastase she purchased from Singapore, my hair looks fabulous! It's like my hair was brought back to life.

Taking Care of my Hair

2010-09-24T19:59:00.000-07:00

I am really blessed to have GK in my life. He is my former gay teammate and he always makes me laugh. He has this certain aura that really lightens up my day every time we see each other.

Most of my teammates admire the outcome saying I am so lucky to have such friend who does have a talent on styling hair. GK told me to buy some hair care products as my hair is so brittle.

A New Laptop For Christmas

2010-08-29T12:54:00.000-07:00

Last month was I think the worst month of my blogging career. I wasn't able to write at least one article for the whole month of July, would you believe it? A lot of things happened which affected my mood to write which left me with a lot of regrets. I should've spent my time, energy and emotions on my writing career instead something (or someone?) who is not worth it. I should've spent my spare time writing reviews and earn extra so I could soon buy a new Dell laptop computer instead of wasting my time in front of my computer doing nothing but check on my Facebook and Twitter accounts. I prefer to buy that brand because I've read a lot of positive Dell netbook review. I wish I could find an online store that gives out a Dell discount coupon or some product vouchers. My current laptop which is an Eee PC Asus is now acting up that's why I want to buy a new one. I guess I could only afford to buy one in December when our Christmas bonus will be released. Would definitely ask my computer geek best friend to accompany me when I already have the money to buy one.

Sleep Myths Debunked

2010-08-22T10:51:00.000-07:00

MYTH: you wiill get sick if you don't get eight hours of sleep each night.
DOCTOR SAYS: No amount of sleep fits everyone, individual requirements vary. Some studies show sleeping more than eight hours a day can also be detrimental to your health. For some, five to six hours of sleep may be enough.

MYTH: Having poor sleep the night before will make you irritable.
I myself do experience that, if I wasn't able to sleep for at least six hours, I feel as if I'm floating on air and I cant think straight.
DOCTOR SAYS: Most patients can be functional even after a poor night's sleep. It is important not to attribute daily hassles with disturbed sleep. Initiative and motivation may be diminished, but actual performance and alertness may remain intact.

MYTH: Insomia is the cause of a chemical imbalance.
DOCTOR SAYS: Although this may have a valid contribution,dwelling and worrying about things you can't change will only increase anxiety.

MYTH: You can "make up" for lost sleep by napping, sleeping early, or waking up lte the next day.
DOCTOR SAYS: Varied times of sleep compensation are actually harmful to sleep habbits.

MYTH: If you try hard enough, you will be able to sleep.
DOCTOR SAYS: The more you try, the more anxious you get, and the more likely you won't be able to sleep.

Boredom Busters

2010-08-01T14:58:00.000-07:00

It's been quite a while since I last updated this blog. I've been through a lot these past few weeks and I didn't have the jive to write. Is that what they call writer's block? I guess so. Anyways, everything is now going pretty well and I'm so happy that I was able to get over of whatever that is that's making me feel miserable. I started going to the gym and vowed to spend at least two hours in the gym to attain my ideal goal of 130 lbs in December. I need to lose weight not only to look good but also for health purposes. Things are going well in the office as well, since the IT people changed our office firewall, we were not able to surf the internet anymore but what's good is that we were able to get a proxy server which will allow us to still pull up websites. It really eases our boredom especially if there's not much calls are coming in. My favorite site is Brainist - a site where you could play multiple brain games, brain tests and strategy games. Not only is it very enjoyable, I also was able to test knowledge about certain topics which will greatly improve one's mental wellbeing. What's good about the site is that it's 100% free. Since I've discovered this site, my officemates started to get addicted to it. LOL.

My Current Health Condition

2010-07-19T13:53:00.000-07:00

I again wasn't able to go to the office today due to sore eyes. It's been almost two weeks now and I still have this red thing on both of my eyes. It becomes irritating at time but I guess it's also my fault because I keep on wiping my eyes with a handkerchief and the doctor who checked my eyes said maybe that is the culprit because I keep on wiping my eyes with it. It might've irritated my eyes. Anyways, I've already learned my lessons and would use a tissue to wipe my eyes instead.

Another thing that bothers me is my backache. I have been dealing with this since I've worked in a call center which requires us to stay on our office chairs for more than 8 hours. I think that is the reason why this chronic back pain. The nurse on our company clinic once told me to buy an inversion table which help to relieve many forms of back pain. According to one article I've read through the internet, there are many benefits that have been suggested with the use of those inversion table or the practice of inversion therapy but the most popular one is back pain. In my search for the best inversion table, I stumbled upon betterhealthinnovations.com which sells out health and wellness products. They sell different kinds of inversion tables such as Teeter EP-550 Inversion Table and Teeter EP-950 Inversion Table . I hope I can save enough to buy one of those tables that would help me get rid of this chronic backache.

On My Way to Fitness

2010-06-26T14:54:00.000-07:00

At last, on July 1st we would start our gym workout. I am so excited about it. I would definitely make it work this time. I have been in and out of the gym before and I guess I wasn't able to adopt a healthy lifestyle that's why I'm back to square one again. I need to lose these extra fifty pounds I've got and I intend to get rid of it in the next six months or before Christmas this year. I also was able to finally find a Herbalife Distributor where I could get Herbalife products that would definitely help me in my diet. My friend once told me about Herbal Nutrition Formula 1 Protein Drink Mix and she said it's really effective. I already know what I need to do and I would make sure that once I was already able to achieve my ideal weight...I won't stop from there. I would continue to workout to maintain my weight. I am really excited about this new endeavor and I know I would succeed this time. I can feel it, wish me luck!

Freedom To Chose

2010-06-26T14:21:00.000-07:00

Do you ever wonder why Opticians don't want give you PD data. It is because they don't want you to buy your glasses through online store like Zenni: the #1 online eyeglasses store. Your PD or Pupillary Distance information is needed by Zenni to ensure proper eyeglass fitment. They want you to buy glasses from them that's why Opticians keep you away from ZenniOpt. I heard other selfish Opticians won't give out a client's PD even with a fee. I hope they would stop depriving people of this information and give people the freedom to choose where they want to wear glasses.

On Improving Lives

2010-06-25T19:37:00.000-07:00

I'm happy that everything went well during my sister's stay here in our place. I believe she enjoyed each and everyday she's with us and I too am very happy that my family again had bonded after almost a year of not being able to see each other. My family is not perfect, we also had problems and one of those is my cousin's drug addiction problem. He's been hooked to methamphetamine for almost five years now and we can really feel our aunt's burden when we met her for our annual family reunion. Though my cousin is now 40 years old and already has his own family, my aunt still feels that the reason why he became an addict is because she wasn't able to pay much attention to him when he was still a kid. She already tried everything to help me get out of his addiction but everything failed. When mom had the chance to talk to her, she said that the best thing to do is to send him to the US where his father lives. My aunt and his husband has been separated since my cousin was only five years old. Mom said that there are a lot of competent meth treatment centers in California would definitely help my cousin recover from his addiction. Those prescription drug treatment centers in California are specifically trained to help addicts cope with their addiction and help them start their lives all over again. Mom feels that sending him to California, away from bad influences would definitely speed up his recovery. Good thing, my aunt took mom's advice and is now on the process of looking for the best meth treatment centers in California . I hope she would be able to find one as soon as possible.

HEALTH FIRST

2010-06-17T18:58:00.000-07:00

" Health first ", this is what I always put in my mind now. My younger sister got hospitalized lately because of amoebiasis, a sickness caused by unsafe drinking water. This time, we are extra careful with everything especially with everything that we eat. drink, or take in. What happened to my sister gave us so much to learn, awareness and consciousness for health. We have never been that worried for her and spent so much money for hospitalization. Thank God she recovered fast and is now again alive and kicking. This time we make sure that the drinking water in the house is really safe and purified. We just purchased a water ionizer and that we don't drink water from anywhere. In few days, my sister will be joining a young people truth camp in a certain resort in a nearby province. Mom and I were a little hesitant to let her join the camping because we were worrying with the water there, if it is safe enough for drinking. I brought this thing up to our brothers and sisters in the church, about our hesitations to let my sister join the activity, but a sister told me that there is a portable water ionizer that we can buy now to ensure we are drinking safe water wherever we go. I checked on it right away on the Internet when I got home. And yes, it's true, I saw it right before my eyes, portable alkaline water ionizer is now available in the market. I shared it then with mom. And without doubts we purchased one right away for my sister so even if she goes to the camp, we can be sure she have pure and safe drinking water with her. It is really amazing that this portable ionizer have been invented. This is just exactly what we need. Purifying water is just so convenient anywhere, anytime.

This Is Really It!

2010-06-15T02:45:00.000-07:00

Grabe, it’s been a looong day for me at the office. Well okey naman kasi there has been some issues with our tools and we were permitted to say the tools outage script. Biruin mo, no tools for three hours! There are also some issues with our avayas, nadidisconnect sya every now and then so ang tendency, we were not able to finish troubleshooting the member’s issue. We were not permitted to callback pa naman. Anyways, we finally decided to enroll ourselves in Gold’s Gym here in Robinson’s Galleria. Actually, at first I was really decided but when I say how much my pay was, I kind’a got half hearted. It was three thousand short of what I used to get during paydays. To my dismay, I told my officemates that I would be backing out. Good thing, Melai, my closest friend urged me to continue and not think about saving that much for the future because I also need to take care of my health. She does have a point…actually I’ve realized that I really need to exercise and to lose some weight because I don’t want to get any diseases which are associated with obesity. I admit, I am already 60 lbs overweight and it’s not cute anymore. I also want to purchase the famous P90 workout dvds to speed up the process of losing these extra pounds I have, it is actually something that I could use when I’m at the comfort of my own home. I’ve been hearing a lot of positive P90X reviews and I feel it really works. I would also like to get those P90X Drink to boost up my metabolism. I really hope this would work this time and I hope I can get my ideal weight this year.

A Week Full of Fun

2010-05-30T19:29:00.000-07:00

Phew, it was such a busy week! So many celebrations and so many people to meet. Last Friday, May 29th, I met with my long lost friend Gherj who is now based in Singapore. She wants to have a small gathering and wants to celebrate it with few friends over a glass of beer and a videoke session. It was such a fun night for most of our friends came over. She was shocked to see me saying I gained so much weight. It almost broke my heart upon hearing that. I know my friend mean no harm but she is just being honest in what she is seeing. I admit, I gain around 20 pounds in just three months. I myself doesn't like what I see in the mirror and in the pictures we took during the event. I don't want to be like this anymore that is why I have decided to do something about it. Just last week, I bought Herbalife products to help me start with my journey of losing weight. I know it won't be easy as I've been on this road before but I am willing to undergo such difficulty again just to revive back my self esteem and confidence in myself. Yesterday is also the same, I met with my other officemates and their comment are all the same. That I gained weight. I hate it! I hope I could lose this extra pounds as soon as possible. I don't feel comfortable anymore.

Determined and Hopeful

2010-05-27T02:31:00.000-07:00

Me and hubby went to the mall yesterday. I was supposed to buy a pair of jeans but wasn't able to find a good one. Instead, I purchased two blouses which I would use as an office attire. As I put those blouses on in the fitting room, I started to realize how badly I needed to lose weight. I picked a medium size blouse but it doesn't fit me well. It's so tight and I know I need to get a bigger one. With circumstances like this, I can't help myself but get angry at myself as I was not able to take care of my body and instead I ruined it. I can't wear those body fitting shirts anymore as my bulges would definitely show up. I can't wear mini skirts anymore as people would see my big thighs. I don't want to live like this anymore. Good thing, I'm already taking Herbalife products and I really hope it would help me prepare my body in losing weight. I plan to take the Herbalife Slimming Shake for about a month and then I would start going to the gym. I need to lose these extra 40 pounds I have in this body and I am willing to do what it takes to get back my old shape. Wish me luck!

The Hardest First Step

2010-05-24T01:24:00.000-07:00

It's final, we will finally enroll ourselves in a gym at the end of this month. I can't wait any longer. I know I need to take the hardest first step and I need to do it now! I made it before, I know I can make it again this time. These extra 50 pounds I have in my body will soon disappear and I will feel better and would love myself more. I need to do this for myself and for my future baby. I need to make sure I am healthy before we decided to have our own child. It would be harder not just for me but for the baby if his mother is fat. Since most of my officemates already enrolled in a gym facility, I guess it's high time for me to also do my thing. I already got my Herbalife Protein Drink Mix and I guess it would be easier for me to lose these extra weight if I would also exercise. I with my friend Tony who also need to lose thirty pounds off his weight also decided to get some help. We would enroll ourselves together with three of my other teammates in a gym which is close to our office and we would start on the 15th of next month. I really pray that I would have the courage and the will to finally shed off these extra weight. I'm doing this not just for myself but also for my future family... I really pray this would work this time.

Reunited with My Bestfriend

2010-05-21T23:48:00.000-07:00

For about one month of not speaking with each other, I was able to make peace with my gay bestfriend yesterday, his birthday. We decided to give him a surprise birthday party and bought grilled chicken, a cake and one bilaong palabok. His boyfriend bought a banner and balloons just to make his birthday a memorable one. My initial fear was to be rejected as he really wasn't responding to my numerous emails and to my texts when I tried to explain my side but praise God coz just yesterday when I tried to chat with him before we went to his house...he finally replied. I was so happy that I can't keep my tears from falling. It's indeed an answered prayer! without hesitation, we hurriedly went to his place and gave him his birthday surprise. He was really shocked. He is actually sleeping coz he still have a shift at night and was awakened by our happy birthday song. I could tell that he is really touched by our gesture.

I wasn't able to see him for two months and I could say he really gained weight. He said he really doesn't have any physical activities for about three months now. I urged him to go with me and enroll ourselves in a gym. Good thing, our company gave us a gym benefit wherein we they could subsidize 50% of our gym expenses and we can even invite three of our friends! I also asked him to try Herbalife products along with it for a faster result. He was so excited to hear that and we immediately made our initial plans of enrolling ourselves in a gym and buying the Herbalife Chocolate shake this weekend.

It's a very happy and memorable day for all of us as we were able to see Mamu and was also able to make a plan that would not only make our bodies leaner and healthier but would also strengthen our ties that would give us more memorable experiences such as this one.

Health is Wealth

2010-05-18T07:13:00.000-07:00

I just recently saw a showbiz talk show earlier today. The guest is a very popular host who is earning almost a million peso every month. He is talking about his present life situation after resigning from his daily noontime show. He was asked why he decided to stop from working when he is at the peak of his career and the answer just struck me - he said money can't buy wealth. In his line of business, he is always stressed and tired, that is most likely the reason why he was diagnosed with multiple diseases such as heart disease. Many studies show that one of the reasons why people get heart disease is because of too much stress. The host said that money can't buy health and even though he is earning a lot, he is very much willing to give it up just to make sure that the remaining days of his life is spent out of the hospital. I cannot agree more...

As a result, he is now taking things lightly. Unlike before, he became less perfectionist and laugh at his own mistakes now. He now values relationship and small things and now lives a simple life. He is just managing his own real estate business. I myself wants to have a simpler life and don't like the complications in life. I just pray that all things fall into it's proper place as planned. I plan to retire in the next one and a half years and devote my time in a business, my online work and most especially to the service of God. I already have a business idea and a very good marketing strategy as early as now. I guess I would also try my luck on real estate consultaotion business and take all the exposure I could get. I would probably use mobile marketing such as shortcodes or maybe get print and media to advertise the company and the services we offer. But I promise, I won't let that business stress me out. I will take things one step at a time. Money can't buy health nor can add a single second in a man's life so I'll make sure money won't be in the center of my life. Like the tv host turned businessman, I need to prioritize my health more than anything else.

The Best Workout

2010-05-14T21:50:00.000-07:00

Just yesterday, GK and some of my officemates made their choice to enroll in a gym. At last, they are now able to do the hardest first step to lose some extra pounds they have. They were given a promise by the gym instructor that they will get the best workout and they would also get a personalized and more advanced type of workout. They can use all the facilities on the gym and a lot of gadgets too to help them monitor their weight loss such as BMI calculator , a digital weighing scale and a high tech body fat calculator.

I know enrolling in a gym would boost their determination to finally live a healthy lifestyle. I myself would like to try it out but I'm still thinking about it. My finances are currently shaky and I need to cut down expenses to make sure I can save at least half of what I earn monthly in preparation for my retirement two years from now. I'm torn between saving and grabbing the chance of finally getting back in shape. I'm thinking of enrolling myself in a gym with a cheaper joining fee, I wish I can find one close to where I live.Will update you on what my decision would be on my next posts.

Stress Related Sickness

2010-05-14T19:58:00.000-07:00

Just recently, we had our APE or Annual Physical Exam. It is one of the requirements of the company to ensure that all of their employees are healthy. I wonder what the normal sickness of call center peeps are. Most likely it would be fatigue, stress and low back pain . We do answer calls almost 8 hours daily and we just sit in our small cubicles at those times so it's just normal that we feel pain on our back for sitting on long hours. I guess most call center professionals also suffer from degenerative disc disease and spondylolisthesis - all of these are associated with back pains. Insomia and sore throat are second on the list as we work during wee hours of the day and we use our vocal chords most of the time in are taking calls. Some other minor sickness are headache and fever.

I still wasn't able to finish my Physical Exam but I hope everything is well with me. If there is any abnormalities, I hope it would just be minor. I can manage not having so much but I hope and pray God would bless me and everyone in my family with good health.

Determined To Lose Weight

2010-05-10T21:51:00.000-07:00

We just had our annual physical exam and as expected - I again was diagnosed with obesity. At 180 pounds and 5 feet in height, I really can't deny the fact that there is indeed a serious risk in my health. I know that having this weight would increase my risk of having diabetes, heart disease and high blood. I know that I need to do some serious change in my lifestyle and I am willing to do what it takes to lose these extra 50 pounds off my weight. I also would like to buy a Herbalife chocolate shake as a food supplement. I guess I need to have all the determination I could get. At the age of 30, I know it would not be easy for me. But I still am willing to do everything to have my life back. I want to wear fashionable clothes again and I want to do things I used to do when I am still at 130 pounds. Will let you know what's going on in these weight reduction scheme of mine. Wish me luck!

My Lazyness and Weight Loss Plan

2010-05-09T15:19:00.000-07:00

I don’t know if I can still manage to lose some weight. Lately, I’ve realized how lazy I could get. After my shift, I would come and eat lunch which my hubby prepared for me. I would eat two to three cups of rice and after eating, I would rest for a while, about 30 minutes and would lay down in front of the television while eating my favorite chips. After about two hours, I would go inside our room and would lay down in our couch and read a book which will eat up another thirty minutes of my time and only after that would I sleep in preparation for my night shift. After around six to seven hours or uninterrupted sleep, I would take a shower, eat dinner which by the way was again prepared by my better half. I would then prepare for my shift and will ride a taxi on my way to the office, I prefer riding a cab as compared to riding a bus as the latter would require me to walk for ten minutes before I could reach the office. I don’t know why I feel so tired and lazy all the time, maybe it’s because of the very hot temperature in the metro nowadays. I don’t really have any physical activities so I am putting my fate to the Herbalife supplement I purchased from a friend last week. She told me that Herbalife products are really effective and I believed her immediately as I am a witness on how fast she became slim after drinking those supplements. I know I also need to do my part to lose these extra pounds, I guess I would join my friends in their gym enrollment next week.

For A Healthier Me

2010-04-30T17:15:00.000-07:00

We again had postponed our plans of enrolling in a gym. Due to some time constraints and finances as well...we just decided to just postpone it till next month. Anyway, it's still summer and with extremely hot weather like this, I don't think I can manage to go home an hour or two late which is about noon time. Anyway, I once shared my problem with my blogmates before regarding my weight. I would really want to cut down 25 percent of my weight before the year ends. I would like to be healthy for my future baby. One of my readers recommended taking Herbalife products as a food supplement. She told me that since she took about just half of their Nutritional Shake Mix...she was able to lose ten pounds off her weight. She even let me see her old photos through yahoo photo sharing capability and I really can't believe the before and after pictures as it is too good to be true. I would definitely would try this scheme and hopefully before the year ends...I would see a better me.

Sexual Insecurities

2010-04-30T10:17:00.000-07:00

Men have been brought up to be competitive. For many, strength and self reliance prove their masculinity and their essence as a man. This attitude also reflects on how they view their own sexuality. Sexual prowess is considered as a sign of manliness. If a man grew up with a very distant father and very protective mother is deprived of developing a healthy self concept. This social insecurity shows when he has to make it with the sexual partner, when he finds out for example that he wife is more aggressive than he is and he's not used to that kind of aggressiveness or this orientation because of his family background. It is not easy for men to go into a sexual situation believing that everything rides on how well he performs. But many men seem to rate themselves according to how they work at sex and believes that relationships suffer because of performance anxiety since making love less of a union and more of a task. I has been observed that most men who experience performance anxiety made love with the fear of not living up to their partners "sexpectations" which are not usually accurate. Make sex an activity that both husband and wife both partake in actively. Try being spontaneous, like going home earlier than usual and staying in bed for the rest of the day. Husbands should read self help articles on how to use sex toys for men. Switch roles during foreplay so both of you can experience giving and being given pleasure during sex.

Stress Free Rest Day

2010-04-15T12:03:00.000-07:00

At last, it's my rest day. After six days of working, I finally had my much awaited time off work! For a week now, I had difficulty sleeping maybe because of the hot weather and since I only sleep for like three hours a day, I always feel tired and I can't concentrate well on my work. And since I don't have a shift today, I would make sure I would give my body ample since I intend to sleep for complete 8 hours. Hubby and I also doesn't have a
plan to go out today instead, we both decided to just spend the rest of the day inside the house playing our favorite past time watching dvds and playing online games through Best online casino. Well, gotta sleep now as I need time to recharge for a long week ahead. Good night everyone!

Herbal Medicine for Weight Lost

2010-04-04T21:24:00.000-07:00

In my goal to lose weight, I've been drinking Maggi - a herbal medicine that was recommended to me by my gay friend GK who was able to lose 20 lbs of his weight. Since I started drinking that medicine, I've been having palpitations and dizziness. I was supposed to enroll myself in a gym but I feel that my schedule won't allow me to spare at least an hour for work out as I promise myself to post at least one article a day for my blogs. I know I
need to stop working out instead of relying on those medicines that promises immediate weight lost but when I'm at home, instead of working out, most often than not - you'll gonna see me in front of the computer, watching free movies on the net or playing Casinos online. I really wish I can have the will and the perseverance to lose weight this time.

online and I was able to stumble upon Eric's Review of Zenni Optical and I was immediately convinced that I should purchase my hubby's glasses through Zenni Optical, in fact Zenni offers the Lowest Price Progressive Glasses and their designs are cute too. I'll gonna grab one this weekend, I know my hubby would love it.

Sleep Myths

2010-03-16T14:48:00.000-07:00

Myth: You will get sick if you don't get eight hours of sleep each night.
Doctor Says: No amount of sleep fits everyone; individual requirements vary. Some studies show sleeping more than eight hours a day can also be detrimental to your health. For some, five to six hours of sleep may be enough.

Myth: Having poor sleep the night before will make you irritable.

Doctor Says: Most patients can be functional even after a poor night's sleep. It is important not to attribute daily hassles with disturbed sleep. Initiative and motivation may be diminished, but actual performance and alertness may remain intact.

Myth: Insomia is the cause of a chemical imbalance.
Doctor Says: Although this may have a valid contribution, dwelling and worrying about things you can't change will only increase anxiety.

Myth: You can "make up" for lost sleep by napping, sleeping early, or waking up late the next day.
Doctor Says: Varied times of sleep compensation are actually harmful to sleep habits.

Myth: If you try hard enough, you will be able to sleep.
Doctor Says: The more you try, the more anxious you will get, and the more likely you won't be able to sleep.

Bangungot or Nightmare

2010-02-14T10:36:00.002-08:00

Medical investigators in China, Japan and several Asian countries who performed autopsies on persons who died from "acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis" found out the majority of them had eaten noodles as their supper. This was a startling finding.

However it wasn't the noodles that caused nightmares but dehydration. Imbibing even with few drinks of alcohol or just eating noodles immediately before bedtime compound this on an empty stomach will trigger an
electrolyte imbalance and other factors that causes a person to dehydrate or lose water.

It is therefore advisable for a person to take several glasses of water before bedtime if he had a few or several alcoholic drinks. Avoid eating noodles before bedtime, but if you can't avoid it, allow at least two hours for the body to digest the noodles before hitting the sack and drink plenty of water. The most important thing is, never go thirsty when going to bed and be sure you have plenty of water during your 8 hour sleep.

Healthy Way to Lose Weight

2010-02-11T21:13:00.000-08:00

I had my shift last night and my friend, Jhay, gave me a shocking news. He said that he was able to watch an evening news and got scared by what he've learned regarding the Chinese slimming medicine I'm taking. He said that the US Food and Drug administration recently warned consumers against patronizing the said fat reduction products as it was laced with health risk . chemicals. He said those taking such kind of drugs are more vulnerable to the risk of stroke and heart attack. To be honest with you, I was shocked as I really
thought those products are safe. Since then, I promised myself never to take any slimming or diet pills not based on healthy ingredients. So I searched the net and was able to stumble upon Herbalife. I've learned that they do provide the best nutrition and weight management products which is approved by medical professionals. I would really try this one. I've also learned that they are also providing business opportunities (Opportunidad de Negocio de Herbalife) for individuals who wants to earn extra income while being healthy at the same time. Herbalife do offer different types of weight management solution products that would fit into anyone's budget. I can't wait to order one for myself as I know I'm not taking harmful products to my body but instead healthy, nutritious weight management products that would not only help me lose weight but also gives me an opportunity to earn from it.

Q&A: ABOUT YOGURT

2010-02-03T19:46:00.000-08:00

"Can a yogurt down south ease a yeast infection?"

Yes, yogurt can cure this condition and also help prevent future infections. Some brands of yogurt contain live cultures of certain bacteria also present in the vagina, and these bacteria fight the overgrowth of yeast that causes infection.

Here's what to do: Coat a tampon with plain, unflavored yogurt (make sure the container says it's made with live cultures, insert it into your vagina, then remove immediately. Do this twice daily for four or five days and your V zone should be back to normal.

Green Police

2010-02-02T15:06:00.000-08:00

I would really love to attend the annual Glastonbury festival wherein someone will have the chance to see a number of great performing artists in a three day festival. I've learned that this year, celebrities like Jack Johnson, U2 and Emerging Talent Contest early bird winners My Luminaries will be performing this year. Since hundreds of people are expected to join the festival, organizers came up with an idea to have what they
call Green Police to ensure cleanliness and orderliness in the premise. You don't want to ruin the fun by seeing a lot of clutter and trash in the area, do you? So thanks to Green Police who would constantly remind the attendees in a funny and sexy way to sure that the premise is clean all throughout the festival. Good job organizers!

2010-01-25T21:36:00.000-08:00

Last week, I had the chance to meet with my former classmates in college which is also my closest friends and we were able to discuss about our status in life and what plans we have in mind. Odette, a friend who introduced me to my current boyfriend, told me that she thinks it's time for us to get married. My boyfriend and I has been together for almost five years now and to be honest with you... I also feel the same. Well, hey - I'm turning 30 this year and most of the girls my age already have dozens of children while I am here and wasn't even married! I am giving myself till the end of this month to finalize as to whether I would go for it or I would wait a little more, till we are already financially stable and once I get rid of this 40 pounds off my weight.

Well, speaking of losing weight... just yesterday I bought a little device that would help me lose weight in preparation for my wedding. I don't want to walk in the aisle looking bloated. It's a little machine that works on the whole body and it's so easy to use as I only just need to lean and balance myself from one side to the other. I also intend to try Herbalife products which Sam, my friend is currently using right now. I swear, she lost almost a third of her body weight in just a month or two and it's all because of a certain Herbalife Formula 1 Shake Mix and some Herbalife supplements. I can tell that since it works for her, I'm sure it would work for me too especially now that I have motivation to lose weight. Did some research and found out through their site that they offer a lot of products that would help any individual regardless of their age, weight and race (they even have their site in different languages! Check their Herbalife Soziales.) Can't wait to try this remarkable products!

I would let you know my progress. If I lose at least 20 pounds for the next two months... I think I would be ready for the d-day!

note: I'm currently weighing 175 lbs. Way to go!

Healthier New Year

2010-01-23T21:32:00.000-08:00

Last week, I decided to live a healthier life. I wanted to lose some extra pounds and I intend to make sure that I would be able to meet my target weight in the next three months. I would be celebrating my 30th birthday next month and since I am not getting younger… I’ve realized that it would be harder for me to lose weight because of my age if I won’t start that scheme as soon as possible. I decided to take one step at a time and lose weight slowly but surely. Here are my initial action plans:

First, I would try to quit smoking. I’ve realized that it would not be easy so I decided to first try using electronic cigarette for a start just to lower down my nicotine intake since I've learned that it does contain no tar, tobacco, ash, or smell. You can smoke whenever you want without having to worry about the serious drawbacks of traditional cigarettes. What's best is that it is 75% cheaper than a regular cigarette! I love it!

Second, I would only eat healthy foods from now on. I just recently purchased an electronic griller which does have an oil plate to remove excess fat from the food. Instead of having my food fried, I could just have it grilled instead.

Lastly, I would need to exercise everyday. I also just recently purchased an exercise machine which is so handy I could keep it under my bed. It promises a 2-3 pounds reduction on my weight if I would faithfully use it for ten minutes daily. I normally take my ten minute work out after each heavy meal such as breakfast or lunch.

I need to make it work this time not just because I want to wear that sexy bikini this summer…I need to do this for security reasons. Obesity is not that easy to handle but if someone has the determination and consistency… I know there is no mountain high enough for her. I intend to make it work. God help me.

MY OWN STRESS RELIEVER

2010-01-07T23:50:00.000-08:00

I think I have found a new solution and a new way to alleviate stress.. I think buying a new gadget would definitely revive back my passion to get back on the right track. I've been thinking of buying a new celphone this year as my old phone already messed up. I can use it's call capability but it is very hard for me to use it's texting function. The A key on the keypads are very hard to press and it takes a lot of effort to just put in that single letter. There has been a lot of miscommunication that happened before because I was'nt able to convey the message correctly as the letter "A" on the words was missing.

I checked on the net and was able to stumble upon a phone blog that gave me an idea to just buy a mobile phone online. It would definitely save me time and energy as I don't need to go to an actual mobile phone retail store to look for the perfect phone that would fit both my lifestyle and budget. This uk phone shops blog provides information about having to buy phones online and their advantages. I've learned through phone blog uk that online stores usually offers cheaper price for the phones as compared to retail or street stores. They often gave out discounts and promos online to attract customers. I tried going to an online phone shop and they also provides information about the product and it's specifications. Unlike buying from a street store for mobile phones where you are not so sure if the salesman is really giving out the correct and accurate information about the product. Through an online store, you're sure that all the information that you are receiving are first hand infos from the manufacturer itself.

I would definitely get a new phone come next month (I'm still saving for it) and I will definitely buy it through an online shop. Wish me luck!

I Need A Break

2010-01-07T12:30:00.000-08:00

I have been so busy trying to find ways on how I can manage my time doing my online job and my full time work as a tech support. I think I really need a break and I already asked my supervisor about my plans of filing a letter of intent for a leave of absence for at least a week on February, my birthday month. I guess, I need to give my self at least a week's rest so I can think things over clearly and decide whether or not to push through with my plan of really hitting it big on this online work. I hope I can make it.

By the way, I asked Melai's sister to help me in my online work. I gave her a share of my tasks and gave her instructions on how to go about doing it. I need to upload the files I have made for my client and I need to have an assistant so I could send it before deadline. I use this site, misupload.com for sending out large files that is too large for email. I can even host files, images, videos, and audio through the site and I can use it for several other purposes other than work. I can now clearly see the convenience of not having to bring along my portable hard drive or those little usb sticks. All I just need to do is to do file upload through the site and just download it on any other computers! What a convenient way to send huge files! I was also able to find out that I can also earn through the site just by uploading files which is not less than 5 MB. I think I've just discovered another favorite site!

I will post some other stress reliever tips and info's here for those of you who are drained just like me,lol. For the meantime,ciao!

Eat Right – 20 Tips : Wash That Big Mac

2010-01-04T22:41:00.000-08:00

Healthy Tips: PART 3

When the waitress asks what you want to drink, always say iced tea. The more we learn about tea, the more healthful it looks. A recent U.S. Department of Agriculture (news – web sites) study found that a serving of black tea had more antioxidants – crucial to your body’s defense against heart disease, cancer, and even wrinkles – than a serving of broccoli or carrots.

Have an afternoon snack every day at 3 o ‘ clock. A nutritional boost between lunch and dinner wards off fatigue and keeps you from overindulging later, says Keith Ayoob. Ed.D..R.D., director of the nutrition clinic at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine’s Rose F. Kennedy Center. Just don’t scarf down a candy bar. Try yogurt and fruit, crackers and cheese, or an egg (hard-boiled), an apple, and a thirsty-quencher like bottled water. All of these foods will give you long-lasting energy.

Always leave the skin on your fruit. If you peel apples or pears, you’re throwing away heavy-duty nutrients and fiber. Same goes for potatoes. Go ahead and peel oranges, but leave as much of the the white stem that runs up the middle.

Happy Birthday Papa

2009-12-11T14:34:00.000-08:00

Today is my father's 62nd birthday! Time flies so fast. One time he's 40 - the next time you realized he's 22 years older. I used to be what they call a "daddy's girl". Since I am the youngest and I am my father's only child (my mom had 3 other children to her previous marriage) ... he spoil me a lot. He always gives me whatever I want until he lost his job. Since then, everything changed. He does'nt spend a lot of time with us anymore, he is most of the time drunk and became irritated. He was not the same sweet loving father I used to know and because of that, mom decided to leave him. We left him alone and I guess that's the reason why he got himself another wife.

I now have a younger brother and a loving stepmom and I know that Papa already contented in his life right now as he now have a family he can call his own. So later I would go to his house with my hubby and celebrate with them. I have purchased a hair regrowth product as a gift. My father is losing his hair and I know he feels bad about it. He would normally wear hats to hide his baldness and I could tell he is slowly losing his self confidence because of his baldness. I am also planning to buy finasteride online as finasteride was a known medication used to treat male pattern hair loss. I want him to look younger and feel good about himself in his birthday.

I hope I can make my father happy today because of my presence and my gift. I love my daddy so much and though I now have my own family and my own man... he is still the first love of my life. I love you Papa! Happy Birthday!

Surviving Cancer

2009-11-09T11:16:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone! How's your day? I hope everyone is in good shape and in perfect health. I would like to share with you what I have learned by researching about what really causes diseases. According to Chinese pathology, there are three principal causes of the disharmony that brings disease: external factors, emotions and irregularities in day to day living. It is not just acquired because of things we normally use or do nor because of our lifestyle... in fact, a huge portion, about 90% of diseases are caused by psychosomatic factors. Psychosomatic pertains to physical disorder that is caused by or notably influenced by emotional factors.

I stumble upon a site featuring a story about a man suffering with mesothelioma cancer. By the way, mesothelioma is a form of cancer that is almost always caused by exposure to asbestos - a
silicate mineral with long, thin fibrous crystals usually used for heat and sound insulation as well as roofing and flooring for homes and establishments. Uses of asbestos include a wide range of products, primarily for heat and sound insulation, roofing and flooring so the most common persons afflicted with mesothelioma asbestos type of cancer are construction workers, automobile mechanics, pipe fitters and ship builders. When the man was informed about his condition, he and his family was shocked as never in their wildest dream did they thought that a family member would catch such kind of deadly disease. It's a good thing that they do have a strong family bond and are ready to fight together to destroy the cancer. They researched through all the available resources different therapies, medical procedures and even alternative treatments. With all the information they gathered, the man-Mr. Kraus worked with his doctor to heal his disease and 12 years later, he is still alive and kicking. What's good about this story is that the disease was diagnosed through early detection and because of that they were able to have an accurate mesothelioma prognosis or probable course and outcome of the cancer's influence on the body. In that way, they were able to treat the condition faster.

Faith in God, family support and will to live are the key elements why a cancer patient survives such tragedy. Add research and a good relationship with your doctor and you'll have a good chance of surviving any type of disease.

Facts About COKE

2009-09-29T13:06:00.000-07:00

Just this morning, I together with my mom is watching an early morning show "Umagang Kay Ganda" (What a Beautiful Morning) and Kuya Kim, the host had a segment about what acid does to our body. What he did is that he poured a cup of vinegar to a raw meat and in just a couple minutes...the meat turned pale, so pale as a meat you just took out of the freezer. He said that the meat symbolizes our organs in the body like liver and the vinegar corresponds to any type of acid such as coke, beer and any other type of beverages. To be honest with you, I was shocked. I never imagined that Coke, my favorite drink... my constant companion during lunch and dinner does this to my body. I still can't believe it so what I did is I researched the net for any article that would at least support what Kuya Kim reported and I was shocked by the hundred of blogs covering the said topic.

When I did my research on this topic, I read some where about some of the properties of Coke which I think you might find interesting and will have some idea how harmful it can be.

In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol carries two gallons of coke in the truck to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.

You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coke and it will be gone in two days.

To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the “real thing” sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous China.

To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.

To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.

To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.

To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.

To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains.

It will also clean road haze from your windshield.

I don't think I would look at Coke the same way I looked at it before upon reading this. Never again!

*FYI: The Coke itself is not the enemy, here. It’s the dynamic combo of massive sugar doses combined with caffeine and phosphoric acid. Things which are found in almost all soda.

Lose Weight Fast!

2009-07-05T21:25:00.000-07:00

Hey there! I would like to share with you tips on how I was able to lose a whooping 20 lbs in just two months. Actually to be honest with you, I really want to get back to my old weight which is 130 lbs. My friends says I need to try to cut it down to at least 110 lbs but I know my limitations and in fact, I love myself in 130. I feel good in 130, I think I also look good in 130. I used to weigh 180 lbs two months ago and because I followed these simple steps ... I was able to cut it down to 160 lbs and is still struggling to cut down these extra 30 lbs hopefully within the next two months. Just follow these steps and you'll never go wrong:

1. Drink water

Water is quite possibly the single most important catalyst in losing weight and keeping it off longer term. Water acts as an appetite suppressant by keeping your stomach full and fending off dehydration which can lead to false cravings/hunger.

Water also helps your body metabolize stored fat by helping the kidneys flush out waste. When you don't drink enough water the liver which works to provide stored fat for energy helps the kidneys eliminate waste and becomes less effective at metabolizing fat.

Drinking water ice cold burns about 62 calories a day. Your body has to work to raise that waters temperature to your body's temperature. This equals around 430 calories per week.

2. Eat regularly

This means eating 5 times a day and the most important meal is breakfast. Make sure you fuel your body first thing in the morning to avoid hunger pangs later in the day. When you eat 5 times a day you will never feel hungry, make sure the total calories consumed are sensible and don't over eat in any of the meals learn portion size control!

3. Eat lots of fiber

Eating adequate fiber foods to help keep things moving through your bowel. And like water, fiber rich foods bulk you up and make you feel fuller for longer. Fibre is found only in plant foods our bodies cant digest it to so it simply goes through the body. During the elimination process it cuts calories consumed by attaching to protein and fat that you eat along with it removes that as well

In addition, high fiber foods are typically low in calories and filling, so you are reducing your calorie intake overall.

Good fiber foods include: strawberries, apples, figs, chickpeas, potatoes, (with skins) broccoli, brown rice, beans, bran and nuts.

4. Consume more good fats

There are good fats and bad fats. Good fats provide you with essential fatty acids (linoleic and linolenic acids) needed for normal reproduction and growth, as well as for production of prostoglandin, a hormone like compound that regulates blood pressure, prevents blood clotting and lowers the risk of heart disease.

For example, the reason oily fish is a great food stems from the fact that the essential fatty acids which it contains can actually help your body burn fat more efficiently and protect against disease. Get at least three portions of oily fish a week with Salmon, mackerel, herrings and sardines being good choices.

5. Get plenty of quality protein

Quality protein is an effective weight control tool because of the satiety factor and its ability to keep you full for longer periods. It also balances out carbohydrates by preventing insulin spikes that cause energy loss and sugar cravings. Protein helps to maintain muscle mass which is important in the fat burning process.

Good choices include:

Fish, shrimps, Low fat cottage cheese, low fat yogurt, skimmed milk, egg whites, s Weight gain is caused by consuming too many calories, whether they are from carbohydrate, protein or fat.

6. Carbohydrates can help you lose weight

Don't believe what you read about carbohydrates being bad for you, they can actually help you lose weight! A diet plan containing good carbohydrates such fruits and vegetables, wholegrains and moderate in fat and calories, will result in weight loss. Good carbohydrates will also help you combat hunger pangs as they are slowly realized into the body. When eating carbohydrates eat them "from the earth" with no refining or processing. These include whole grains, vegetables, fruits and beans.

Following the above tips and having determination to cut off those extra weight will definitely improve your over all health. I am also thinking of getting a laser liposuction to improve the sculpture of my body. Ive checked the net and found out that laser liposuction is safer, easier, and produces more beautiful results than ever before. The doctor can sculpt your body with lipo laser using a tiny cannula and sophisticated lasers, which combined, produce precise body contouring and promote skin tightening. No sutures are required, and scars are tiny - wow! The popular Zerona laser machine is used to produce a cold laser beam that would penetrate the fat cells causes them to empty out its fat materials causing the body to reduce its size.

It's not bad to get the help of Science especially now that people are finding ways to improve one's life. I would definitely try one of these procedures soon. Wish me luck!

Drug Addiction Expose

2009-07-01T03:56:00.000-07:00

I really can't get over Brian Gorrell's blog about the Gucci Gang and all other controversies that envelopes the said group. I visit the site almost twice a day to check on what's new in his blog. There's something on his blog that makes me addicted to it...maybe his manner of writing or just the sincerity I feel in every words he uses. I became an instant fan of Brian the first day I stumble upon his blog. He claims that he is not a writer in profession - but I really feel that it's an inborn thing. The words of an honest man is indeed like a sword that cuts through the heart. How do I became an instant fan? Well, it's because Brian uses words that really came from his heart. He is writing things straight from his heart, his emotions are overflowing in his words and you would know that what he is saying is true.

He became famous after divulging the illegal activities of some of the elite people from the high society. He exposed their drug addiction and their dependence on a drug called "ecstacy". Actually Brian is a gay Australian citizen who fell in love with a Filipino socialite who, after getting around $70,000dollar from him...would just dump him like that and treated him like trash. Out of anger...Mr. Gorell used blogging to make an appeal for his ex boyfriend so he would be pressured to return his money. Unfortunately, it does'nt work. So Mr. Gorell exposed his ex boyfriend's illegal drug dependency. It just does'nt stop there, he also made sure that his friends would be dragged to this controversy as well so the ex boyfriend would be pressured to return the money. It has been a very big issue in the country and many people supported Mr. Gorell in his advocacy.

Many blogs started supporting Mr. Gorell's advocacy. Most sites condemn people taking ecstacy...commonly marketed as a "feel good drug" because of the positive feelings of well being and empathy toward other people, elimination of anxiety, and extreme relaxation. It is also said that ecstacy suppresses the need to eat drink and sleep, allowing club scene users to endure all night and some times two or three day parties. Ecstacy is distributed mostly in pill or capsule form. It is also very popular to class AB party goers, no wonder socialites are hooked up to it.

Mr. Gorell's ex boyfriend admitted that he was Mr. Gorell's lover but denied accusations of receiving $70,000 dollars from him. He also admitted being a drug addict and confirmed that he voluntarily enrolled himself into a drug rehab center for almost six months saying drug addiction rehab changed his perception of life and made him a better person. Well, I really can't judge him.
I just hope Mr. Brian Gorell can recover his $70,000 savings and most importantly may he receive the peace of mind he is longing to have for so long.

How to Deal with Drug Addiction

2009-06-29T04:24:00.001-07:00

Seeing a family member or someone you love struggling to fight drug addiction is indeed painful as dealing with it is usually a long, hard process. Besides the fact that the person who is into drug addiction must resist the urge of taking it, most people who do not have a substance abuse disorder, more often than not, blame the individual which makes it even a harder process. It is an easy thing to do since the assumption is the individual must have control over his or her behavior. This is true to a certain extent. Perhaps the best way for individuals without this issue to relate to substance abusers is to think about when he or she has had a depressed mood. Most people, at some point in their lives’ have been depressed which can stem from a specific life event. It can also be a deficiency of chemicals in the brain. The effects of a depressed mood can take many different forms including drinking, substance abuse overeating, gambling among other destructive behaviors.

Family members and friends should learn how to effectively help the individual who is into drug addiction. It's good once you motivate the person to stop taking drugs altogether, however, it is better if you help the individual learn new coping skills to replace the unhealthy or they are certainly doomed to repeat the same behavior. That is why there are facilities such as Illinois drug rehab center who can help a recovering person remain committed to their goals and have a better perspective in life. Most drug rehab program typically conducts counseling, mentoring, therapy and even job placement services. Once the individual voluntarily seeks the help of a drug rehab facility, he must be committed in improving his overall life situation as even the best program wont succeed without the person's strong will and determination.

SUPERSTRESSED ME

2009-06-11T02:56:00.000-07:00

I've never been so stressed in my life like this! I'm feeling so low right now. I feel that I cannot effectively function as a tech support anymore as there are so many new rules and implementations in the office you will have a hard time deciding on what to prioritize. This is just the third day of my entire week but I just feel so damn tired. I want to give up, I want to shift into a different direction but I know I can't manage without a job and I can't afford to start again. I promised myself that this would be the last job I'll gonna take and the last company I'll gonna serve. I guess I need to endure all of these for my future - I need to stay for 2 more years so I can get my retirement pay. I was kind'a disappointed with my TL as he seem so strict nowadays. He's not the same TL we used to love before... a TL who is pro-employee and not 100% pro-management. Everything seems to go from bad to worse. I received an NTE (Notice to Explain) for being late for 3 consecutive days - which I never received at those times when I always come to the office late for almost 30 to 45 minutes everyday. Haaay. I don't know how long I can bear this things but I am starting to feel depress. In fact, my left eye is twitching and blinking involuntarily once in a while. The company nurse said it is a common sign of stress and fatigue. I really hope and pray that everything will fall into its place in the next couple of days.
Amen.

Eat Right-20 Tips: Heavy on the Sauce

2009-06-07T04:58:00.000-07:00

Healthy Tips: PART 2

Always order your pizza with double tomato sauce and light cheese. Men who eat a lot of tomato products tend to have less prostate cancer - probably because tomatoes are a rich source of lycopene, a typeof carotenoid that's believed to cut your risk of cancer. If you double the sauce on your pizza you get double the lycopene. Reducing the mozzarella by just one-third (you won't miss it) will save you 20 grams of fat. That's as much as in a McDonald's Quarter Pounder.

Always orders your sandwiches with double tomato slices. Another chance for a healthy dose of lycopene.

Pile onions on everything. Research has revealed that onions are so healthful...they're a top source of heart savers called flavanoids - that it's practically your duty to eat them lavishly on hotdogs, pizza, burger and sandwiches. And speaking of junk food...

Whenever you eat fast food, drink two glasses of water afterwards. Big Macs, subs, fries, and pepperoni pizza are all loaded with fat and sodium, which can be hellish for your heart. You can't do much about the fat once you've eaten it, but you can flush aways some of the excess sodium by drinking plenty of fluid afterwards, says Trina Ruggiero, RD, a New York City dietitian.

Eat Right - 20 Tips: Milk Before Coffee

2009-04-28T03:22:00.000-07:00

I began to be realize the importance of healthy eating when my weight caught me by surprise. Only after I've learned that I weigh 180 lbs that I need to do drastic change on my lifestyle especially by the way I eat. I know that it won't be too long till' I acquire heart disease or hypertension if I won't adopt a healthy habit so I immediately enrolled myself in a gym, made a serious diet plan and promised to eat healthy from there on. Fortunately after a week of straneous workout, I lost almost 5 lbs and I intend to lose 5 pounds every week. I know I can make it. I would share with you 20 simple tactics on how to eat healthy according to Holly McCord and Virginia Leoni Moles...a well known health professionals.

Healthy Tips: PART 1

At breakfast, put coffee in your milk instead of milk in your coffee. Fill your mug to the rin with skim milk first thing in the morning. Drink it down untill all that's left is the amount you'd normally add to your coffee; then pour your java on top. You just took 25 percent of the vitamin D you need everyday, and 30 percent of the calcium.

Drink two glasses of water before every meal. This will do two things - keep you hydrated and make you eat a little less. A Dutch study showed that drinking two glasses of water can make you feel less hungry, possibly reducing your food intake and aiding weight loss.

Eat Smart

3. Buy in – season foods. You can b e assure that these and vegetables are of the best quality. You may also cook or pressure them.

4. Keep peeling. Peel veggies things so there’s less waste. If possible, simply scrub and wash them before cooking skin and all.

Which Drugs are Popular Today?

2009-03-22T00:44:00.000-07:00

Certain drugs are considered fashionable among the young and are passed around in parties, bars, even school. Radio program ‘’Gagaling Ka Rin’’ tells us what parents should look out for:

SHABU The poor man’s cocaine, shabu is an addictive stimulant. It’s a white, odorless crystalline powder that’s smoked. Some effects: change in behavior, need for isolation, erratic sleeping habits, irritability, always losing things, loss of weight, sunken cheeks, and whitening of tongue.

KETAMINE Known as the ‘’horse tranqulizer,’’ Ketamine is usually dissolved in beverages. Ketamine causes deep sleep, resulting in a mental blackout. As such, many incidences of rape have occurred, with the victim having little memory of it. Some effects: vomiting and nausea, paranoia, boredom, and muscles rigidity. There is also Ketabu, a mixture of Ketamine and shabu. Slang name: ‘’Kit Kat,’’ ‘’K,’’ ‘’Kat,’’ ‘’Green,’’ ‘’Super C.’’

ESTACY The love drug, ‘’E’’ comes in tablet or capsule form and makes the user malambing and carinoso. It is usually taken at bars and parties, so by the time the user gets home, the effects would have worm off.

MARIJUANA Derived from the cannabis plant, ‘’grass’’ or ‘’doobie’’ is either smoked in pipes or rolled in paper to make into cigarettes. Some effects: reddening of eyes, excessive eating without putting on weight, sluggishness, dryness in mouth, and traces of nicotine on fingertips.

The Wonders of Hot Water

2009-01-20T02:09:00.000-08:00

Did you know that drinking cold drinks or even cold water after meals is not good for health,
because it will solidify the oil in the food that you had.
The oil solidified will react as a acid and absorbed by the intestine very slowly.
This increases the bad cholesterol level in the body.
In the long run it is prone to create cancer.
Now you can co-relate why Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meal.
Next time while having a meals grab a cup of hot green tea or at least a cup of warm water.

IS THERE A CANCER PERSONALITY?

2009-01-16T19:37:00.000-08:00

You can blame this disease on a number of factors - including family and history and environment - but not on your temperament, according to a new research from the Danish Cancer Society. In a study of nearly 30,000 people over 25 years, researchers found no link between personality and risk of cancer wether individuals were outgoing or introverted, bottled up their emotions or let them out, made no difference. (The scientists studied both fraternal and identical twins because of their shared upbringing and genes.) So what about earlier studies suggesting a shared connection? They were smaller, researchers say, and may not have taken into account other health risks.

STRESS AND YOUR FAILING MEMORY

2008-10-04T22:24:00.000-07:00

So your memory is beginning to fail you these days. Could stress be the cause. Animal studies have shown that long term exposure to cortical, a stress hormone released by the adrenal gland, kills memory – forming newborns.

Now it seems that high cortical levels have the same destruction effects in humans. Neuroscientists at Rockefeller University in New York and at two Canadian universities have found evidence that stress related brain damage may explain why we often have trouble remembering things as we age.

MOZART FOR THE BRAIN

2008-09-19T13:57:00.000-07:00

When I was still studying. Ive heard from a classmate that he usually eats louds of peanuts before an examination day. By doing that, he said, he was able to remember and the things he reviewed and never fail to pass and examinations. He said his forefathers passed on him this belief and he was thankful because of that. I respect his belief and I almost fell on it as well but good thing I was able to read an article from a magazine saying that you don’t really have to eat loads of peanuts and smart pills to get you brain working better.

Whether you're studying at home or do my an important report for the office all you have to do is listen to the music of Mozart for 10 minutes – and mind will improve its performance, so claims researchers writing in Nature. The investigators gave intelligence test to students after exposing them to 10 minutes of Mozart piano music. On average, scores more eight of nine points higher than marks the same students got after listening to relaxation tapes.

Researchers say the highly structured by non repetitive character of Mozart music may stimulate important cognitive pathways in the brain.

Go ahead and add laughter to the list of factors that continued a healthy. Researchers at Lorna Linda university Medical Center are looking at how a persons mental state and perspective on life effects the functions of the are studying how “ a merry heart “ ( that is happiness mirthful laughter ) can actually bolster the body’s ability to prevent and combat illness and disease.

Intrigued by the awareness that stres and depression can lower the effectiveness of the body’s immune system, whether positive emotions and attitudes ca improve immune system capabilities.

In the study scientists measured blood stress hormone levels of a group of medical students before, during and after the watched a humorous video. Results showed that mirthful laughter brings about significant changes in certain components of the endocrine system believed to be related to the body’s ability to fight disease..

For instance, the students experienced a reduction in their levels of blood control. Control released during moments of strees ( distress ) , can reduce the circulation of lymphocytes
( immune cells ) in the bone marrow and interfere with their normal functioning in the immune system.

Researchers also foung that mirthful laughter modifies same classical stress hormone levels in ways that may positively influence the immune system.

INTRODUCTION

2008-08-26T18:16:00.000-07:00

I admit, at first I’m kinds hesitant to make a health blog. Why? Because I’m not a health buff. I never think of myself as one and I feel that I might be the last person who would think about healthy options. I eat almost anything. I don’t exercise and my diet usually comprise of fatty foods. I am not a fan of vegetable and fruits and I drink sodas almost everyday. I don’t usually drink and smoke but taking a nap every now and then is one of my hobbies. I am indeed not a health buff but hopefully as I construct this site I hope like you I could also learn on how to live life happy and healthy. This is a site created to provide health tips and bits of information on how to take care of our body. Good luck to us!
