Diet Day One

I’ve started another attempt of dieting yesterday and I’m still searching and thinking of other ways to completely rid of some temptations to avoid foods with fat and too much salt. I’ve started with having these foods yesterday:

Breakfast – Oatmeal, I’ve avoided coffee and instead had one glass of water

Lunch - Wheat bread with tuna flakes

Afternoon snack – (can’t avoid when you’re working in an office) Wheat bread with tuna flakes, taken before 6 pm to avoid being hungry at night lol!

Dinner - Banana

Rap's Investigatory Report

Bro was here, they need to create an email address for Ate Mariz for a new business venture they’ve been entering. They’re still waiting for their PLDT DSL connection up to now. When Rap (my nephew) learned that his parents were here he asked them to research an investigatory project for him as his teacher gave him a new topic instead of the usual soap-making project. Together we searched for the process used in making vegetable oil as fuel for car. We immediately found what we’re looking for and in 10 minutes time we had it ready for Rap.

I got interested in what we researched, set aside my blogging and read the making of fuel out of vegetable oil. It’s true and I’m going to write some specific details about it on my next post. I’m going to sleep now to recover from my overnight blogging yesterday.

She Loves Sightseeing

My architect friend Jacqui has been invited by her sister to spend a three-month vacation in New York and she was very excited at the invitation. She turned over her work as a resident architect of a 5-storey building in Quezon City to a mutual friend of ours. Anyway our mutual friend is an engineer so handling of her projects didn’t seem to be that hard when she finally left her work for New York.

My friend has been dieting at that time and the only thing that she didn’t like in her sister’s house is the kind of food available there. She likes fish and the only fish readily available in their place are frozen so she didn’t have much choice in food. Since she can’t continue her no-pork no-beef diet her sister asked her to join in New York City Sightseeing so she’ll have more time roaming around the city and less time in the house to avoid eating too much. She joined the sightseeing tours by CitySights, a known company which provides hop-on, hop-off bus tours which uses top-deck only seats so you’ll get to see beautiful views of New York City and its attractions. They also offer sightseeing packages with museum visits, helicopter tours, harbor cruises, shopping day trips and motorcoach trips.

My friend called me up and told me that her vacation was superb. She had the chance of seeing Statue of Liberty, Top of the Rock, Empire State Building, Uptown and Downtown and Manhattan City, you know an architect really loves seeing magnificent houses and buildings. I was happy to know that she had a wonderful sightseeing vacation in New York.

Clearing Away

DPWH workers started the clearing and construction works since Monday but I think they are assessing reactions of the people the reason why their works are slow. After three days of their clearing works I've found only 4 compounds which have finished the clearing. Some of my neighbors are really hesitant to clear their properties because that would mean the start of their zero sales for their businesses.

Since my brother is living in another barangay I've asked him to go to the house and instruct the DPWH team as to what they should do with our stonewalls and gate, clear instruction should be given to ensure that proper restoration will be done. Our neighbors keep on telling us that we're really lucky that my father did a great house plan when he renovated our house in the late '70s. Our house is the only one in our place that has a 5-meter setback which allowed us now to have a little more space remaining for a garden or store after the widening.

Beautiful Mailboxes and Address Plaques

What makes us happy everyday? It’s in knowing that a lot of people love us no matter who we are and what our status in life is. It’s in knowing that somewhere and somehow people are thinking of us in a sweet and thoughtful ways. That’s why communication is very important in our lives. I remember when I was in high school that letters in our mailboxes makes me happy because I’ve got mails from my distant friends and relatives living in the province. It’s what you call the power of communication, you know a single letter can make a sick man get well, an angry fellow to relax, a lonely man happy and sometimes a war to freeze.

Mailboxes are very important to me and I searched for stylish residential mailboxes that would look good in our house. I’ve found Mailbox and Beyond, a site which offers mailboxes, address plaques and signs, garden hose holders, personalized doormats, doorbells and a lot more. I’m particularly eyeing some whitehall products for our house because they are 20% larger than other mailboxes and made from die cast rust free aluminum.

You should also see their wide selection of address house signs, address markers, wedding plaques and personalized address plaques with personalized street and house numbers on it. Many people love having elegant and beautiful mailbox and address plaques as they’re a welcome site on their front yard especially if the styles and design blend beautifully with the garden. So if you need one for your house just visit their site and you’ll enjoy choosing from their selection of mailboxes, plaques, posts and many other products

Baby Things For You

Babies are like angels and whenever there’s one or two in the family they're definitely the source of happiness. I’ve been pregnant for three times and each pregnancy always brought excitement to my family including my mom and my siblings. Before giving birth we kept ourselves busy with choosing baby things for the coming new member of the family. It’s easy to shop for the little things like baby bottles, little dresses or shirts and accessories but it took me a much longer time or days to decide on which baby pushchairs to choose for my dear little one. I have to be sure that it’s the best quality, brand, size style and color that I want. After all, whatever I will choose it will be passed on to my other upcoming babies.

I prefer baby things with quality and style because it will endure time and usage. I’ve been amazed with shopping online lately and had some thoughts that if it’s available few years ago I wouldn’t have a hard time picking the right pram for my baby. It’s easier to search, browse, canvass and buy online. I got even more excited when I browsed BabyThings4u because I’ve found wide selection of the strollers, pushchairs and prams for the little one.

I have a friend who is pregnant now and I’ve been helping her choose things for her second baby. She’s very particular with brands and she’s happy to know that babythings4u offers strollers, prams, pushchair and other baby equipment in top brands such as Chicco, Graco, Obaby and Hauck. Actually she wants Graco because she’s satisfied with her first child equipment. With these brands available at them they offer it at a very low price. For those who are looking for something cheap and very affordable they also have it. So visit their site now and start choosing the perfect baby equipment for your dear little one. Rest assured your order will be hassle free with their best customer service.

Motorcycle Accident

In every trip that we’re making we must be careful with driving in order to ensure safe travel. Everyone should be a responsible driver to prevent all sorts of accident especially when you’re driving motorcycle. We live near national road and almost everyday I always see motorcycle accident in the road because drivers are always in a hurry, not minding the people and the cars that blocks their ways.

If you have experienced having accidents on the road you will agree to me that it’s not always safe having irresponsible motorcycle drivers on the road. And whenever situation like this occurs there is a need for motorcycle accident lawyer to represent either motorcyclists or others involved in fractures, minor and major injuries on body and brain, death cases and other results of motorcycle accidents.

And if you want to get answers on the things involved or connected in an accident like that of who will fix the motorcycle, who will pay hospital bills or the lost income brought about by the accident, how long will the case take and many others, you should be getting the services of Reinecke Law Firm. They are the leading law firm which has been handling cases for 15 years now as california motorcycle accident attorney which provides assistance and services on motorcycle accident lawsuit claim.

For problems like these they offer free consultation on personal injury claim, just call (800) 275 8326 and have your worries and troubles erased.
