Suspend-It

On my way to work, I saw an ad about money-saving features and 5th wheel insurance discounts. The “insurance” there reminded me to coordinate with our HR so I can get my youngest sister a health insurance via my company.

You see, my little sister is currently staying in an apartment which is just walking distance from her building in the University, but is two hours away from our house. Although being away from us is a wonderful training for her to become independent, it is very important that we’ve got the basics covered for our peace of mind. Thus, we first checked if her apartment is safe and secure [check]; lent her my ATM where we could send money to in case of emergency [check]; and avail of a health card for her in so in case something happens, or if she gets sick while she’s there [pending], we know she’ll be in good hands.

Some people may say that having a health card is not necessary and is just an added expense. Maybe so… But from my experience, I learned that even though you may not be able to purchase “peace of mind” 100%, anything that can be bought to achieve that certain sense of security is definitely worth it! What about you? What do you think about health cards?

Excusitis. I am not really sure if this is just a coined term or not but hey it makes sense. It was described in the book “The Magic of Thinking Big” as an disease of having excuses for doing anything successful. Among the common excuses explained in the book is “I am too old” or “too young” , “I am too weak to”, “I am not that lucky”. Excusitis makes one think of excuses rather than means to be successful.
There are different approaches to cure this disease but the cure targets the way people think. If you think failure, you will end up only creating more excuses. This in turn just gives you more failures. Thinking success, however, makes you strive to find ways to achieve success.

I am one of the people who have a moderate case of excusitis. My favorite excuse is “I am too weak” or “I have a health condition”. As it turns out, three out of five beds in a US hospital is occupied by a patient with emotionally induced illness. Perhaps I am one of those. Whenever I have an opportunity, let us say, to have a business, I always pass it up and just make the said excuses.

Negative thinking is really the cause for failures. It is addictive however there is no santa barbara drug alcohol rehab treatment center for this kind of addiction. Only you can cure yourself by changing your way of thinking.  Thinking success or thinking positive is the only cure. It is not easy but it is doable.

My cousin has recently passed the medical board exam. She’s now a doctor, acting as a substitute for doctors on their leave on various hospitals.

She has been intending to start her own clinic, but she doesn’t have the capital yet. She’s lately been so uninspired and unmotivated to do anything, so I want to help her out in my own little ways.

I plan on buying one of the medical carts at Howard-Medical.com. Hopefully when she sees it she’ll remember why she wanted to start her own clinic and start being motivated again.

When you see a friend who’s starting to lose hope, it’s our job to cheer them up and get them back on track. Don’t ignore them, and remember to help in your own little ways! No man is an island, after all. Don’t you agree?

As a self acclaimed book lover, one of the reasons why I hog my phone during my free time aside from the addictive applications on it would be the e Books that I have.

I have had this phone for almost two years and I can say that I still have not found the best e reader for the iPhone yet. I tried about ten, and they all have their pros and cons, but I don’t find any of them appealing enough to stick with the app for a long time. I get bored of it eventually and end up downloading ten more.

What kind of e readers do you have? Should I get an iPad for this? I don’t really know. What do you think? Please, help me. I don’t know what to do with my eBooks anymore, and they’re just piling on as time goes by.

My sister’s graduating soon and she’s starting to worry about what kind of jobs she would take and the like.

For the longest time, our older brother has been the biggest influence in her life. If it weren’t for him she wouldn’t be playing nursery rhymes on the computer at age 4 over legos and barbie dolls, and she wouldn’t be learning HTML all by herself at the age 9.

She told me she wants to look for Network Administrator Jobs when she graduates, just like my brother’s chosen field of specialization.

She really can go places, once she sets her mind into it, I tell you.

I’m not really very knowledgable in this field, so if you have any recommendations on what books she should start reading up on and the like, please feel free to post comments in this post. I kind of want to help her after she graduates by buying her books, since books on her chosen field are quite expensive, really.

My cousin is sick.

I’m torn between getting her fruit and chocolate baskets and bring them to the hospital, but I’m leaning more towards the chocolate basket. She’s feeling kind of down lately. The fact that she can’t go to school and hang out with her friends for a month isn’t really helping, either.

Any normal teenager would want to be with their friends as much as possible. I mean, even until now, I’d feel sad whenever I’m alone. It’s just something people can’t help but feel, you know?

I brought my iPad with me when I visited so she can play with it for a while. Her eyes lit when she saw the iPad and begged me to let her play for an hour and a half. I obliged.

I’m bringing some of my graphic novels next time so she wouldn’t be too bored. Hospitals surely can get quite depressing.

I read on an article online that when one shows symptoms of xanax detox addiction abuse withdrawal, a rehab withdrawal treatment program should be on the top of the list of priorities of the loved ones of the affected person.

The first mistake that any person can do to a person with symptoms is to pretend to be a doctor and diagnose the illness. We have people who have spent half of their lives studying so that they can provide people who need help assistance, and the best one, at that, and we can’t just put all of that to waste because we want to save money. More often than not people who opt to do the former end up complicating things and spending even more than how much they would have spent if they immediately seeked professional help.

Certain patient care centers have various differences, but most of what people look for in centers like these are methods that are safe and orthodox, but also proven to be efficient. It would be best to read reviews and ask from people you know if these centers are any good and what you should expect from them before doing anything in a rush.

There always comes a time when a student starts noticing the wonders of pc games. It just is that one time on one’s life when scholastic performance doesn’t really matter and one’s top priority is to level characters up and finish various stages on one’s saved game. As the old saying goes, all work and no play makes life dull!

I for one have had this phase for the longest time. I’ve been playing various consoles like PS3s and my sister’s XBox. They’re too addictive.

When I was four instead of playing Barbies and Legos I would push my brother out of the computer screen so I could play this one game where I’d tickle an alien for him to sing nursery rhymes.

I think the best PC game I ever had was pacman. Or tetris. I loved the classics. They were just too fun and simple. I get bored with complicated games after a few tries.

So my brother gave me a new laptop because my old laptop started randomly overheating, and I can say that I’m in love with it. I named it “Harry Potter”. Well, my brother did, but yeah. I found it cute so I decided to stick with it!

Anyway, I’ve been worried about wearing the built in speakers out so I decided to start looking for mp3 speakers to buy. I wore my old one out so much that the beautiful speakers ended up being too soft in the end, even when the volume was set to maximum I still couldn’t hear anything.

I guess that got me paranoid about what would happen to my new laptop’s speakers so I never set the volume to maximum.

Am I crazy? I mean, every earphone I use has a life span of three months, no matter how expensive or how cheap it is, so I guess I have the same fate with speakers. I guess I just love music that much.

Any recommendations for me, my dear readers?

I am currently looking for good deals online. I tried eBay, Amazon and Multiply, but I still can’t find the right goggles sale. My friends and I will be swimming soon and I need new goggles ’cause I can’t open my eyes in sea water. IT HURTS, I SWEAR!

I look forward to lounging around in the white beach and getting a nice tan. I’ve never played beach volleyball so my friends promised to buy a beach ball and let me play. I’m afraid volleyball isn’t really my sport, but I’m willing to try anything! I haven’t had a decent vacation in weeks, and I am totally looking forward to it.

I kind of want to make sandcastles, too, but I’m afraid I’m too old for that. It has never really been my forte, I’d just play with the sand and bury my friend leaving only his face and hands out to the sun for funsies.

What other beach activities do you guys usually do? Don’t forget to wear sunscreen!
