Meds and Supplements

dwordpresser — Sat, 29 May 2010 18:57:08 +0000

I once had a conversation with a colleague. We were talking about how supplements and dietary medicines are popping in the market like mushrooms. He said, these types of medicines may have serious consequences – like people using non-studied medications instead of the studied and approved ones.

Somehow, I disagree with him. Although yes, there are a lot of these supplements like liver aid and hgh supplement for example, we cannot deny that many of the approved medicines came from herbal supplements before they were proven by science. Sometimes, the medical society is afraid of the unkown.

Mom’s Face Cream

When I went to New York, my mom wanted one thing – her face cream. She had always wanted to have a bottle each time someone travels abroad.

I really don’t know what type of face cream she needs. I don’t even know which brand or type is the best eye cream for wrinkles. In any case. a lot of these creams are not that inexpensive. And sometimes, I tend to deprioritize buying them because of that.

Oh well, I guess sometimes, if you have the luxury you can buy one. But for my case during the business trip to NY, I didn’t get one. Sorry mom, I’ll get you a lot of figurine collectibles instead

Thinking of Getting a New Job?

dwordpresser — Sat, 29 May 2010 18:16:22 +0000

After college, there is always that hype of getting a job for the first time. It’s a challenging task, I would say. And getting the best job isn’t all about how hard working you are as a student. It takes more than that a lot of times.

Sometimes, you need to have the right attitude. You need to know when to pursue and when to save your time. You also need to know of course what you are getting into. Many websites like jobstreet or philly work can actually help you with this stuff. It is very important to know more about the company you want to be part in because work is not just about you. A lot of times its about what the company needs from you and whether you are the right person for the job.

In any case, everyone knows hard work. And I guess that’s what really matters in applying or in having a job.

Our Own Patio

Each time I see a magazine with house designs, I remember my mom and how she wanted our house to be. She always dreamed of having our own garden (which we have), a second floor with a balcony and a nice, cozy patio where she can sit all afternoon till evening.

Of course, to have a nice patio, you need to have nice patio furniture as well. I was thinking before of a wooden swing where the neices and nephews can enjoy. and a wooden table perhaps where dad can place his cup of coffee.

I think it’s really nice to have that someday.

Car and Its Costs

Many of my friends and family ask me why I won’t get a car – even if the company is offering a huge discount if I get one. The reason – I don’t want to work for a car I mean, with my expenses here in the big city, having a car is the least of my priorities for now.

To make up for it, I chose to get an apartment close to the office. This way, I won’t have that much problem going to and from the office. Besides, most of my days are spent there.

Aside from paying the car itself, I know it has more costs to it than what meets the eye. There’s parking fee, maintenance and insurance. Better find a good but cheap insurance to let you save and have good bang for your buck.

What Worked for Me

There are a lot of diet programs you can find around the net. Try searching and for sure you’ll find a lot of approaches and techniques. Sites like Fit for Life or www.dietsthatwork.net are just to name a few.

For me, what really worked was approx. 45 mins of high speed treadmill coupled with weight training. I was beginning to gain weight then due to my unhealthy lifestyle. I was approx. 10 hours in the office everyday and no excercise at all.

Good thing, a lot of my officemates are into physical fitness. The compay also encourages it by providing us discounts to gyms and other sports facilities.

Party Like Home

dwordpresser — Sat, 29 May 2010 17:53:11 +0000

One thing I missed when I moved to the big city are barbeque parties with friends and family. It’s always nice cooks outside the house, in the garden where the kids can run around while you smell that nice, appetizing smoke of grill. Then, as everything is ready, we give thanks and enjoy the food as well as each other’s company.

Now, most of the stuff for cooking are automatic. From ovens to electric grill , everything in the big city must be available in an instant to cope up with time. It’s not a luxury out here – it’s a necessity. Living a run-run life needs to have tools and equipments that help you run along with time.

Mobile Learning

dwordpresser — Sun, 23 May 2010 03:45:06 +0000

The world has changed so much. It has evolved thousand folds of its old self for the past 50 years I would say. Chanes are exponential – technology, science and even education.

The world has so much knowledge already. Check the internet – there is information sharing everywhere. Geographical boundaries are no longer barriers to learning. Nowadays, many enroll in a reliable online university to learn new skills, accreditation and, for some, to simply expand their knowledge.

In this aspect, technology has truly been more a friend than a foe.

Will I Choose You – No Matter What

dwordpresser — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 16:47:36 +0000

I felt I have to say it.
And I did.
It made you cry.
It broke my heart.

I said I need to go somewhere
I need to take the journey.
You asked me if I really need to.
I said I do.

It wasn’t easy for me to tell you that
But I felt that I have to.
You might find it hard to believe but
I need to do it because I love you.

As I open the door, you asked me once again
Do I really have to go – I guess so
Looks like it.
I don’t know.

I might make you cry
for days while I’m away
But I was thinking it would save you
from a lifetime of crying deep inside

Right now, I need to find the answers
To a question I have always avoided
Will it will forever be the same?
Will i choose you – no matter what?

Will I choose you – even if life is at its worse
Will I choose you – even if home is broken
Will I choose you – even if the sun has set and the night has come
Will I choose you – no matter what

Will it really not matter if life is mostly down
Will love really keep us alive
Will your heart go on for me even if mine has turned cold
Will I choose you – no matter what

Will watercolors work to paint grey skies with rainbows
Will flowers really bloom in the coldest winters
Will love find a way to kiss away every tear
Will I choose you – no matter what

Before I went off, you asked me
“When you reach the cross roads
And you see the sun shining on the other side
What road will you take?

Will I look back and see if the door is still open
Or will I keep my face straight and move ahead
Will I shed a tear or will I smile with delight
Will I choose you still – no matter what

I know for sure the journey’s cold
The road is damp and crooked
There are dangers and steep curves
No wonder it’s a road less travelled

Looking forward, when the days come
I will find the answers I’m looking for
I don’t know if the road home is still the same
I don’t know if the door is still open

When the day comes and you finally walk down the isle
With all the smiles in the world for you
Will it be me waiting by the altar?
Or will I be standing by the door wishing it was me holding you?

I don’t know how to end this note
Much more how to ease your pain
Let me stop it right here and ask
Will I choose you – no matter what?

Golds and Silvers

Most girls are fond of jewelries. I don’t know why but there’s something with girls and shiny glittering metals and gems stones. Most guys like me know this. But honestly, it’s not that easy to what to buy and when. Somehow, it’s difficult to bridge that gap – between how a woman sees jewelry and how a man does.

If your girl is asking for something within these types of gifts, guys usually run to other female friends or sisters (if they have) for advice. Good thing, one site I know gives gifts for guys who plan to buy jewelry accurately. Why accurately? Because guys usually don’t buy things for the sake of having it. It is usually tied to a purpose, a use. The last thing a guy wants to do is buy something totally not fitting for her girl’s taste.

This Bella True site has great articles for guys who need help in getting the best jewelry for every buck spent. It answers things like “what does she mean by that” or “what does she really want”. For many men, jewelries are but metal straps used either to hold a watch or lock something in like a chain. But for girls, jewelries mean a whole bunch of different things, depending on the color, design, style and how it is worn.

For married guys, Bella True also gives you a guide for birthdays and anniversaries. How should we know that each month in the calendar has a particular gem, right? Hehe. All in all, this site can be a great help for men needing help in giving jewelry as gifts for their loved ones.
