The need to diet, again!

May 17th, 2012 julai No comments

The dieting has gone bad since I started working as interina (stay-out) at the start of the month. I am now working for only 5 hours compared to the usual 10 to 12 hours and the strange thing about it is that I am always hungry now that I have less work.:( And it´s really alarming because I now weigh 54 kilos instead of the 52 likos before. My aim before is to reach 50 kilos with my constant dieting. But at the moment, I don´t know how to achieve it already. I need to go on diet again and get serious about it to atleast reach 52 kilos and then when I get it, I´ll work hard to reach 50.

I need to do something with my appetite. I just don´t know why I am always hungry these days when I only have 5 hours of work. I am now thinking about the possibility of taking diet pills. What do you think?

A quick nap.

May 2nd, 2012 julai No comments

I am going to attend the 6pm Mass today and also the Mother of Perpetual Help novena before the Mass. But I am so sleepy, my eyes are closing on their own account.:) I am going to take a quick nap before going to the Church to avoid falling asleep during the Mass. I don´t like it and it happens to me (who doesn´t?), especially when I am super tired.

I shall take a nap now. Hmm, I mean after checking out what ngk oxygen sensor is all about.

New health regimen.

May 1st, 2012 julai No comments

My Ate roommates and I plus the 2 roommates have agreed to start jogging this morning (May 1) since it´s a holiday here. And to give our plan a good start, we bought new running shoes last on Sunday , hehehe. But I didn´t since I already bought a running shoes on my 30th. Instead, I bought an Adidas sneakers and Nike socks to go with the running shoes.:)

The girls were successful with the first session, but too bad coz I was not able to go with them coz I went to work since I already had my holiday on Friday.:( But it´s ok coz we will be jogging on Saturday and Sunday, too. I am really looking forward for this new health regimen with the girls and I hope that we can already make it as part of our lifestyle.:)

Goodnight everyone. I will be working early tomorrow and I have an appointment at 12 noon. I will tell you about it tomorrow.:) But before I go to bed, I´ll check key stock first and see what it is. I am curious what the phrase means.

Medical Uniforms: Not Just A Plain Option

April 27th, 2012 julai No comments

Whether you’re a man or a woman and whether or not you’re part of the medical community, one thing is for certain, medical scrubs are quickly taking over as a comfortable, fashionable alternative to your “average” clothing. Medical uniforms aren’t just for doctors and nurses anymore, you can likely find them in your local clothing store and if they’re not carried there, you can definitely find them online. You might be asking yourself why would you buy scrubs over regular clothes and there’s plenty of reasons!

First of all, they’re comfortable. It may seem like a silly reason, but if you’re going to be wearing something, wouldn’t you like to at least be able to relax in it? They may not look it, but scrubs and other uniforms are specifically designed to be comfortable and breathable for long periods of time due to how long shifts at a hospital might be, When you slip into a pair of scrubs, you’ll be able to feel right away that they’re not going to chafe or leave you sweaty whether you’re relaxing at home, working in your yard or spending time out shopping.

Secondly, they’re affordable. You can find some pretty cheap medical uniforms in local stores or online, usually for around twenty bucks for a set depending on where you’re looking. You don’t have to break the bank to have nice, comfortable clothes, you just need to be a smart shopper. Lastly, they’re not just plain or muted colors like you see on TV. Medical scrubs and uniforms come in a wide variety of colors, patterns and prints for any kind of personal style. You can sometimes even find pairs with prints of your favorite characters on them. Just take a quick look online and you’ll see what I mean when I say that scrubs and uniforms really are a great option for everyone.

Water fountains.

April 22nd, 2012 julai 1 Comment

I love being in the waters, whether in the sea, river, lake or just in the irrigation canal in our place and I it doesn´t matter that I can barely swim. I just love being in the waters.:) And not only that, I love water fountains, too. It just gives me a certain kind of tranquility and it makes me feel closer to nature. And with that being said, I want to have one in Mama´s garden. It would be super cool and I already have an idea which style to get (the one in the photo) after seeing the super cool, nice  water fountains  at waterfountainpros.com.

How to get rid of acne scars.

April 22nd, 2012 julai 1 Comment

I discovered about howcast.com short videos about tips on different topics thru my skyfire browser on my android phone. And I just love watching vids and when the loading is very slow, I read the written version of the vid. Here´s the written version of the tip on how to get rid of acne scars. The video version, you can watch here: http://www.howcast.com/videos/347331-How-To-Get-Rid-Of-Acne-Scars/guide/314-Skin-Care-101

  1. Step 1

    Treat acne

    Treat acne using over-the-counter treatments. For severe cases, visit a dermatologist for prescription-strength drugs.
  2. Tip
    Never pick at acne. It is a sure way to create scars.
  3. Step 2

    Get laser treatments

    Get laser treatments. This removes the skin to make room for new skin to grow. Laser treatments use non-abrasive lasers and are less painful than older techniques.
  4. Step 3

    Use a chemical peel

    Talk to your dermatologist about chemical peels. Peels use acid to remove the top layer of skin, allowing a new layer to grow.
  5. Step 4

    Consider microdermabrasion

    Consider microdermabrasion, another technique used to smooth the skin. Microdermabrasion is most suitable for people suffering minor scarring.
  6. Step 5

    Try a punch technique

    Try one of the three types of punch techniques. In punch replacement, a doctor removes the scar and replaces it with a skin graft. In punch excision scars are removed and wounds are closed. In punch elevation scars are cut from the bottom and then float up to the level of the skin surrounding it.
  7. Step 6

    Consider injections

    Consider saline injections, in which saline is injected into the scar causing collagen to form.
  8. Step 7

    Talk to your doctor

    Talk to your doctor about new treatment methods. New remedies are developed every day, and your doctor is the best resource for current news.
  9. Fact
    It is estimated that 80 percent of people between the ages of 11 and 30 have experienced an acne outbreak.

Of family life and weddings.

April 22nd, 2012 julai No comments

We (my Ate roommates and I) just came home from visiting our friend who already have twin boys. They´re so adorable and we all love them. We are already excited for them to grow big, so we can borrow them and bring them to the park for the parents to have some time off for themselves.:) But they´re not married yet and we asked our friend about it. They will in the future.

We talked and had a good laugh about a lot of topics: guys, kids, married life and weddings. Yes, we talked about weddings, how it will be if we´ll get married in the future. hehehe. Speaking of marriage and weddings, I remember my parents as I stumbled unto a site featuring gifts for a second marriage coz they´re supposed to have their 25th wedding anniversary on the same year as my 25th birthday. But Papa passed away when I was still 21.:( Sad, but still life has to go on. I know that he´s happy where he is right now. I miss you and love you Pa.

Not for the home.

April 20th, 2012 julai No comments

I just saw beautiful fire pits a while ago and the one in the photo is the model I like the best. It would be nice to have one at home, but what for when it´s already super hot in the Phils. hehehe. I just saw a lot of friends complaining about the scourging heat over their fb accounts.:) For sure the family would go ballistic if I insist on having a firepit at home.

If I want one then I have to have a home here in Europe, too. So, I can use it during the winter or during spring when staying outside while sipping tea.:)
