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
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.

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
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
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
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.
My Hair Reborn
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. My friends started noticing the change and keeps on asking me to ask my sister on how they could purchase one.

Taking Care of my Hair
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. He is also a very good hairstylist! Yup, my own personal hairstylist! During office break time, he would normally look for me to fix my hair. 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. Whenever he combs it, hundreds of hair strands fall too. So I researched on the net and have found an online site the sells out hair care products. They sell products such as Bumble and Bumble, Moroccan Oil and OPI among others.

A New Laptop For Christmas
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
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.
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.

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.

Protective Gears
Boredom Busters
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
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
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
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
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
" 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!
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
If you're blessed, buy me a cup of frap!
For A Healthier Me
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
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.

Herbal Medicine for Weight Lost
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

I'm planning to get a pair for them for my husband as his old glasses broke and I since it would be his birthday next week...I am planning to buy a new one. I actually was able to stumble upon different sites that talks about how to purchase cheap eyeglasses
Sleep Myths
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
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
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
Q&A: ABOUT YOGURT
"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
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
Motivated to Lose Weight
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
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
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
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
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.
