My Special Day

For my birthday last Dec. 21 I had two celebration.  First was in my bes' JennyL's house with my family, her family and our high school friends.  We had it on the 17th, 4 days before my real birth date.  We had fun reminiscing our high school days and the happenings after that.  It was full of chikas, updates and we felt like we're the same high school girls that we were several years back.  We had our silver HS alumni last Dec 18,2009 and after that we kept on seeing each other on occasions especially at holiday season.

On my real birthday we went to the mall as per request of the kids, dined at their fave resto and played at the arcade.  We all played and it was so fun celebrating my bday like a kid. Kids were so happy competing with the scores and  we went home when we got tired.  They chose the cake and continued the celebration at the house.

Overweight After Pregnancy

My cousin gained so many pounds in her third pregnancy and when she gave birth last month she still look pregnant. It’s so depressing for her because she’s really on the overweight side and it’s so hard for her to lose pounds even on her younger age. Actually she’s a lot bigger than me and when I saw her days before her delivery date I can’t believe that it’s her. She really must do everything in her capacity to lose weight because her weight is too much for her. She’s trying out cheap fat burners and we’re waiting to see if it’ll work on her. She also must ask her doctor if it’s right for her to prevent future complications. Anyway I wish that she’ll be disciplined enough to follow the right food to eat and to have exercise as well after three months. She delivered by caesarean process and it will take few months before she will be allowed by the doctor to have hard exercises and workout.

Gen Turned 12!

 

My youngest girl turned 12 today and I was still excited from her two celebrations, one with her classmates and our family in the house and the other was in our church.  We hosted the midweek bible study in time for our daughter's birthday and if we had pasta, chicken and cakes in our house we prepared menudo for our church mates.  I cooked for 50 pax and I'm glad we've finished all of Gen's celebration before midnight.  It's ok if I got so tired because Gen told me that she had the happiest birthday ever.

HTC Phones

I’m still yearning for HTC windows phone but when I saw the htc desire android I’m having second thoughts. Anyway since I can’t afford it now I can only write it on my wish list. As for now I’m happy that my BIL would give me his wifi phone from G.B. which can also open blogs and other sites fast and easy. I still don’t know the model type but it was given by hubby’s sister living abroad who only use phones for months or a year and give them to her siblings when she comes home. 

We still have to save for the kids tuition fees this coming summer for next school year and that’s our priority for now aside from our duplex project and the car. I know God will supply all our needs and we just have to work hard and pray. After the enrollment and our projects I’ll get back to my wish list.

Happy Together

Life is hard when you’re not living with the people you love best that’s why I pity those people who have been imprisoned without sin. When my friend’s husband was in drug rehab treatment centers in the previous year,and she joined in their center’s Christmas program. She has a beautiful voice and the patients who gathered up for the occasion loved her performance. Now they’re all together this holiday season and happy too because they’re complete now. Well I’m glad at the turn of events of my friend.

Too Young to Protect

My friend’s husband gave an Ipad as Christmas gift to their one and only daughter and my friends was beginning to worry on how her daughter can use it properly and keep it safe from normal tear and wear. It’s good that she’s working online and get to see and learn of ipad warranty that ensures protection of Ipad from usual causes of damage and lost. It was an expensive gift to give but my friend knows how much her husband love her daughter and because the husband is working abroad he gives everything that he know will make her daughter happy. Anyway since the girl is so young to take care of her new Ipad maybe my friend will take care of it.

Best Job Application Month

It’s only few days left before the year ends and another year will begin. I like it when the year begins because it’s the sign of another hope for me when it comes to job opportunities. When I was still in corporate office the first month of the year seems to be the best month to apply for better job and salary. It’s also the month that there are many job opportunities like IT jobs, administrative, accounting and finance jobs, human resource, sales and whatever field you may want to enter into. It’s the busiest month for application and job openings and it makes sense because people are most likely to finish the year before they leave their current employer to seek for better job opportunities. It’s really quite just a cycle to me.

Saving and Investing Money

I just talked to my cousin who has a son working abroad and I told her to teach his kid in saving some of her earnings. It’s hard to earn money these days but it’s especially difficult when you’re far from your family. I’m sure people working abroad will agree to my statement that it’s indeed hard when you’re not with your family. Anyway I told her it’s best to invest some of his son’s saved money on something tangible to ensure return of investment. He can invest in gold bullion and have it deposited safely in a bank so when the time comes for major expenses he can count on it to help him with finances.

Thankful

Few days from now we’re going to leave the past year behind and welcome the year ahead of us. Going back the year that’s going to end in a matter of days I have all the reasons to be happy for God’s wonderful blessings on me and my family. Online works has been so plenty for me and my online friends and tasks are still outpouring for us. I’m happy to look back and be thankful that we survived all trials and problems and still standing on our feet.

Now with all the work blessings of God I’ve saved some money and we’re thinking on investing on something that we could get some profit from like small food franchise, bakeshop and any other business. And if we don’t have time to manage business we might as well consider buying gold coins from United States Gold Bureau because it presents an easier way of investing money without exerting too much effort and physical labor. You just have to secure its safety in a bank depository and then wait for the return of your capital.

Best Remedy to Cure Drug Addiction

I learned early in life that drug addiction can change and ruin lives. I’ve seen it happened to my cousin when I was still a student. It robbed him of good health and good life. It affects the life of the drug dependent and of his family and friends as well. He has been rehabilitated twice but he returned to his vices, I guess not all rehab centers can cure drug addiction on all patients. Some patients can’t prevent themselves from going back to their old vices. If you really want your drug-dependent family to be healed from addiction you should find a dedicated rapid detox centers who can give the longest and safest treatment to opiate addiction. 

Treatment for person who lived their lives dependent on drugs should be treated physically and psychological as well. The 8-hour detox treatment should be followed by monitoring the patient, one-on-one post procedure care for 36-48 hours and psychological assessment. Treatment should not end at the treatment but long-term follow-up should be given to patients to ensure that he will not go back to his addiction.
