Suspend-It

I was talking with a colleague earlier about renovating her home. She was able to buy a studio type apartment and now she wants redesigned. I suggested several good designs that I found on the internet and she liked the contemporary design that I suggested - a style with wall sconce and paintings on the wall. The lighting is warm on the eyes and the furnishing looks cozy.

She told me she wants to feel like in grandma’s house whenever she is in her apartment (I was supposed to react to that but hehe). Personally, I like a modern approach in my apartment although a cozy warm theme surely is soothing. But heck, it’s her house anyway. Anyhow, I’ll also help her do the shopping on the weekend to get the stuff for the house makeover.

It may seem uncomfortable to many, but getting your parents a life insurance is really a great investment. Others may think that getting insurance for their parents is like expecting them to die or something. Well… we all die and that’s reality and all of us must be open to that idea. Getting insurance will really be of great help for the other family members.

As a proof of this, my cousins are able to continue their education from the insurance benefits of their father. Their dad passed away two years ago but at least my cousins can still go on with their life without financial problems. My parents heard about this and asked me to get life insurance quotes from the internet.

Parents should always consider getting life insurance because life is very fragile. You’ll never know what will happen in the future. It’s always good to know that the family especially the children will still be financially secured even after death. This is just my opinion anyway.

I received an email from Larry, a friend of mine, inviting me to go to Dallas on the weekend. He and his sister Carol are very much into boxing. They were very excited when they heard that there will be a boxing match between Manny Pacquiao and Clottey. Both are famous boxers I think.While I am not very into that kind of sport, I do enjoy Larry and Carol’s company. They used to work in my company but found good offers from Houston job search. They decided to work in Texas because it is their hometown and it is much comfortable for them. I have until this afternoon to decide if I’ll go there but since I will be very busy on Saturday, I don’t think I’l be able to come. Anyhow, I know they’ll understand. They know how hectic work in our company is.

As i have said before, always consult the physician whenever taking pills. My friend took my advice for granted, now she ended up in a hospital. I couldn’t really blame her for being so eager to lose weight. there just is so much pressure now because of the upcoming summer outing.Yesterday evening, she was rushed to the ER because she felt her heart palpitating. the doctors believe the palpitation was caused by diet pill side effects. she was worried about her condition herself, and she expressed her regret when i talked to her earlier.I was so sorry for her. She is a very good friend of mine and I wouldnt want anything to happen to her. her doctor said that she’ll be okay in a few weeks once the diet pill effect wear off but she still needs to be monitored every few weeks. I hope you readers may learn from my friend’s experience.

Do you know what’s worse than getting hormonal acne before or during “that time of the month”? The fact that your normal everyday stress is escalated preposterously!

I mean really, this week is already crazy-stressful enough as it is. But to have my period at the same time, it’s horrendous. Good thing my friend Mark sent me a link on stress management to help me deal with it. The article states that, “Stress affects our bodies and thoughts and can eventually kill us.” I agree. I also discovered that there’s actually a term for the method we use when we displace negative stresses into positive and useful actions – Sublimation. Amazing isn’t it?

Anyway, given my escalated crazy-stressful condition, I think I deserve a satisfying massage tonight and a day off tomorrow.

My brother and his girlfriend, for some reason, have been on this very strict diet which involves just vegetables and several flavored weight loss drinks. It’s been ongoing for two weeks now; a breakthrough I must say, since my brother has been on a seafood diet for the longest time now – when he “see – food” he eats it. Hehehe.

Anyway, we’re really curious on what triggered this monumental phase but they just won’t tell us. We’re all betting anyway on how long my brother will last on this new healthy diet. I bet maximum one month. What about you?

My friend Angela and I recently went to a heavenly water spa. Of course, we had to wear swimsuits for that. While changing into our swimsuits, Angela and I got into talking about our health – skin care in particular.

Apparently, she’s been very conscious about her skin folds in between her thighs and groin area. It’s more dark than usual. I told her that according to my cousin, the most common cause for that is wearing of very tight breeches or skinny jeans and garterized underwear. This is because those produce friction in that area when you walk, which in turn causes skin darkening in that area.

Angela did acknowledge that she’s been wearing more skinny jeans than skirt nowadays. Consequently, she vowed to wear skirt more often instead.

When I went home yesterday night, I was shocked to see our neighbor’s babysitter, Marienel. She looked like she’s been crying all day. Concerned, I hesitantly approached her and asked what happened. She blankly stared at me and said, “Huh?”

I shared my observation about her looking like she’s been crying all day and the creases in her forehead increased in confusion. I just raised my eyebrows in question and concern. Then surprisingly, she laughed, hard. I thought she was going crazy, then she said, “It’s the eye concealer!”

This time, I was the one who gave her a blank stare. Marienel continued while giggling, “I forgot to put on my eye concealer that’s why my eye bags are all dark and I look like I’ve been crying.” Ah-hah! So that’s the culprit.

Frankly though, proper application of a good eye wrinkle cream with whitening action would be more helpful than using concealers. What do you think?

I just found out that the highest position and salary level I can attain in my company is my current one. Consequently, I have decided that it’s high time for me to invest in another level-up for better career opportunity.

Unfortunately, for those with busy schedule or are currently employed, it’s really quite hard to find time to level-up and upgrade yourself; which is why I’m very happy there’s such a thing as online bachelor degree and short training courses which makes leveling up possible. The only problem is, I’m not quite sure which area or skills I should be enhancing.

Thanks to the two-day internet marketing event I attended last March 4-5, I met high-profile internet marketers which are willing to train fellow SEM enthusiasts for a discounted price! I unhesitatingly enrolled myself in three short online trainings to level up and increase my market value (and find a more appropriate company for my skills and talents).

Can’t wait to start upgrading with the trainings!

Hey guys! I found a great site online where you can buy computer stuff in an amazingly low price. Well I have not tried it yet, but based from their prices, it is like they are having a clearance sale every time!I found this site while looking for a cheap iPod portable speaker. I searched for clearance sale and it popped up in Google. In this site you’ll find some great deals on mostly gadgets and PC accessories. What I like about this site, aside from the low priced products, is the clean interface that will not confuse you in any way. I just love browsing to their discounted line of products. It’s just amazing.
