Do I Really Need This?

admin — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 17:07:16 +0000

Its never a pleasant topic to have with your loved ones, the things that will happen when one dies. But its a good thing to leave something for family if you are able too.

I would want to leave one for my daughter just in case and someone said its better to start early so the rates will be lower.

I’m not sure about this but I guess this life insurance calculator will help me decide if I can afford one now, just in case.

I Believe Moms Are Superhuman

admin — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 08:39:08 +0000

This is my entry to the Levi’s I believe campaign.

I believe moms are superhuman.

Why?

Because moms are available 24 hours a day and loved by all (almost).

She’s not only beautiful but passionately young. Playful as a kid, yet wise.

A chef, a bus driver, a friend, a lover, a movie fan, a personal shopper, a playmate, a short time order taker, a photographer, a videographer, a secretary, a nurse, a doctor, a teacher, a dietitian, a party planner, seamstress, entertainer, referee, banker, counselor, detective, maid, cheer leader, hair stylist, finder of all things lost and more!

The influences of politics, education, and peers, all are lacking when compared to the influence of a mother.

No other human being can do all these things but mothers!

How about you, what do you believe?

Girls Best Friend

So who do you think are smarter, men or women?

Obviously its the women. Women’s best friend are diamonds while men’s best friend are dogs. No matter how you interpret this women are the smartest being in the world. We just make our men think they are so we can get what we want.

Women I think are taught to know if the guy is giving her certified diamonds or else say no to a marriage proposal. Hahaha!

I’m just joking its not the ring but the thought that counts. But then again a man who gives fake diamonds is as good as fake.

Watch What You Eat

There’s this saying that you are what you eat. So if you eat junk foods you are junk if you eat fats you are fat if you eat healthy you are healthy, what a simple analogy right? But this could all be true.

Sometimes we just eat whatever we want and don’t think of what are we putting in our body. We thought as long as we don’t feel anything bad about it then its okay.

If you feel bloated or more sickly maybe its time you watch your diet because toxins may be overstaying in your body and you need to detoxify. I think a cleansing regiment can help or check out some of these colon cleanse reviews that could help you find what’s best for your lifestyle.

What’s Up With That?

Twenty years ago men in the basketball court wear skimpy shorts while out in the game. It wasn’t a biggie back then until some NBA wise guy decided to make his shorts longer and everyone followed.

When I see TV spoofs of the 80′s sportsmen particularly basketball players wearing the super skimpy shorts I feel weird about them because they look so gay.

But then isn’t it weird that I don’t mind when I see runners particularly men who are wearing skimpy men’s running shorts . Runners need their shorts at a very manageable length that will not impede their agility. But then aren’t basketball players need speed and mobility too? How come they can move well with those knee-length shorts?

Because Now I Can

admin — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 16:39:57 +0000

Does it go with age or just because people are more open minded these days. Ten years ago I wouldn’t even dare think I would post photos of me wearing a two-piece bikini neither would you see me wear two-piece bikini, even on a beach.

I was even called by my workmates too conservative because I was so “clothed” when we were on our summer outing. I wasn’t comfy with the people I was with that time and yes I think I was too conservative but more so I was conscious with how my body looks like.

Fast forward today, if you tell me there is a costume party requiring guests to come wearing sexy costumes I will be so delighted to oblige. Because now I can and now I am comfortable with my body.

How about you? Did you had issues with the way you look?

Taking Security A Step Further

admin — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 05:07:39 +0000

My daughter is so mischievous, she likes to climb up the stairs ad on shelfs, chairs, tables and anything that she can climb. There were times that I wasn’t able to see what she was doing and she fell from the stairs leaving her a huge booboo.

I wish I had a full time nanny to watch over her 24/7 but its hard to find a trust worthy and reliable house help these days. I wish I have eight pairs of eyes to look out for her and 8 pairs of hands and as stretchable as plastic man. But lol I would look like a weird mutant by then haha!

Maybe installing a convex mirror on top of my work area will allow me to see whatever she’s doing while I’m doing my work at my desk. I think I should get one soon.

How about you moms? What security measures you take to make sure your child is safe playing alone?

Healthy Home

admin — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 03:55:15 +0000

Have you heard about a sick home or a sick establishment? Its a place where when you step in you immediately feel sick like experiencing headache, fever, or sneeze a lot. Its because the air is no longer clean and safe because of molds and other germs.

I think our home is sick too because I feel really sluggish when I’m home. Maybe we should get this dehumidifier to clean the air at home. I wonder if they ship here in the Philippines or if there is a Philippine counterpart.

Ack! I need to pop a pill now I’m having major headaches again.

Where Does Your Savings Go?

admin — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 12:03:42 +0000

Do you have a savings account?

I always try to make it a point that I save at least Php500 every pay period so that I have something to spend in case of emergency or some miscellaneous expense where I need cash badly. But more often than not these funds would go to miscellaneous expense or for an awesome vacation with the family which is good. At least it doesn’t go to hospitalization and medical bills which is a good sign.

However a friend who is into insurance was trying to convince me that I should invest on having an temporary health insurance every year so that I am assured I have somewhere to go when the emergency arises. She said there are affordable temporary health insurance available in the market today just like the ones being offered by Blue Cross Blue Shield NC . The monthly payment is very affordable but the benefits are outstanding.

I know its better to be prepared than to worry where to get your funds when the need arise just like what my other friend is experiencing but I’m such a happy-go-lucky person when it comes to these things because I always believe God will provide.
