I still remember the time when, as kids, we were taught of keeping our house clean. One task for me was to keep the floor clean and tidy, free of feet marks and dust. I had a lot of good memories doing it – going around aboard a rug and dragged by my older brothers. It was all about having fun while keeping your place neat and tidy.

When I started working, at to work with people who smoke a lot. Mentally, I have to adjust. I was conditioned to not being around smokers. But this time, I can’t leave a job just because I don’t like being with smokers. While some have very expensive cigarette, others have discount cigar collections. I have to adjust.

I guess many of us had this experience before – going out of your comfort zone to simply work things out professionally. That’s just how it is in the real world.

For now, I would need to invest financially to ensure a stable future when the time comes that work becomes impossible for me to do. Nowadays, insurance online is in. Insurance guys coming to visit you at home is a thing of the past.

Aside from investing financially, one should also invest with his or her loved ones emotionally and with God spiritually. Life is never complete without it

You see, as we grow older, our bodies get less adaptive to temperature changes and pressure. These are stressors that the body tries to minimize. This adaptive ability is decreased as age increases.

I remember my lolo used to wrap his feet in thick layers of cloth and put layers of socks around it. This way, the cold floor doesn’t directly touch his feet that causes these foot pains.

I guess it becomes more and more inconvenient but that’s just how the body works. We cannot stay young and live forever. That’s why if you are still in your prime years, try to do a lot and enjoy those years before the years can chase after you

Students don’t have the luxury of good, clean and new textbooks s imply because it’s too expensive both for the kids and the government to have a1 book to 1 student ratio.

Yes, I too needed text books especially for assignments. That’s why photo copiers are everywhere. It’s cheaper you know. But I learned that textbooks are but a child’s guide to learning. Real learning comes from doing the thing yourself. One learns from reading but one understands from doing.

I guess one consideration I had at that time was actually where exactly in the government will an Industrial Engineer fit in. I guess one work we can greatly do is to improve the processes in different government offices. As you see, our government needs to be more efficient. They need more control and check and balances. The problem with that though is that you step on other’s foot sometimes, especially when you are working with audit.

Oh well. I guess somewhere inside of me, I still have that hope for my country. After all, they paid for my scholarship through college

For me, travelling lets you see the world in new eyes. It makes you look into your own realities and opens your eyes to sights and sounds that you’ve never seen before

While there is nothing wrong with these medical works, products and breakthroughs, sometimes it is just better to take time to have that good old exercise. Somehow, it gives you a real sense of fulfillment, knowing that you worked your ass off (literally) to get the figure you’ve always wanted.

You can also try good diet programs with weight loss supplements but as long as you don’t ingrain it to your habits and lifestyle, you are bound to lose whatever you worked hard for.

Nowadays, I’m not sure how but elixirs of life come in plastic bottles with labels on it. I remember how fond my mom was with Olay back then. She keeps reminding my aunt who is in the US to buy her one each time she sends a package.

I guess that’s just how people are – we don’t want to look old. A lot of anti aging product packages offer ageless beauty via creams and lotions.

In my opinion though, agelessness doesn’t come from your skin or your body’s figure. It comes from the character that’s way beyond what creams and lotions can enhance.
