Suspend-It

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.

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!

I was looking for a gift for my friend Jehan’s 26th birthday this February. I saw some interesting accessories with diamonds that fits her personality perfectly. Unfortunately, Jehan lives in Canada and that means I will be shipping my present to her.

Although I trust shipping companies, I don’t trust them enough to actually be able to deliver my gift with diamonds. Consequently, I think I’ll just buy her another present. I’m still hunting for one though. I did buy an accessory with diamonds for her. But I’ll be giving it to her when she comes to visit us – hopefully by April.

My cousin had always been a fan of motorcycles. He collected them when he had the money, and just cleaned them when he’s free from work.

But he encountered an accident yesterday. The truck just came flying out of nowhere, literally.

We looked for a motorcycle accident attorney as we ran while rushing him to the ER, and we had a hard time looking for one, they didn’t want to take the case.

As he was getting treated, it actually made me realize how much danger we’re putting ourselves in everytime we ride a vehicle. It’s like our lives are at stake.

So be careful with your driving, and be a defensive driver if you don’t want to end up like my cousin.

We’ve been having trouble with the printer and scanner in the office for the past few days. Paper jams, ink refill… you name it. The only problem is we’re having a hard time pinpointing who is responsible for the printer and scanner mishaps since they’re both shared by everyone.

With the monthly report due next week, everyone’s being stressed out with this simple printing and scanning. Frankly, the best solution to all of this is for the company to provide one printer and scanner for each department, have them sign an accountability form, and perhaps get a document scanning software to make everything easier and more organized. What do you think?

Pop-ups are certainly annoying but sometimes I kinda miss them. Since the pop-up blocker was invented, pop-up ads became a thing of the past. It’s like watching NFL without the commercial - boring. So for earlier I turned off my pop-up blocker and freely surfed the net hoping to find some interesting ads.It seems like there’s not much changed with the pop-ups. They are still mostly about online casinos, diet pills, and porn sites. But there is this one ad that caught my attention: natural testosterone From wikipedia,

“Testosterone is a steroid hormone from the androgen group. In mammals, testosterone is primarily secreted in the testes of males and the ovaries of females, although small amounts are also secreted by the adrenal glands. It is the principal male sexhormone and an anabolic steroid. Testosterone is evolutionarily conserved through most vertebrates, although fish make a slightly different form called 11-ketotestosterone.”

Come to think of it… if testosterone comes from male organs naturally, where does that “natural testosterone” pill extracted from? Also, what if women took those pills? heheAnyhow, I think I’ll reactivate my  pop-up blocker right now because I think I have seen enough porn ads now. But I admit, ads really are fun to read especially when you’re not in the mood to work.

I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned, but I’ve been dying to have roller shades for the longest time now. Well actually, more of roman blinds. I’m just not a big fan of lights – artificial or sunlight – when it comes to sleeping. I simply cannot stand even a subtle light beam; consequently, the need for light control.

Nowadays, the days of the plain white are gone – roman blinds in malls include a wide variety of colors, materials, and weaves to fit every design and budget. I actually saw a design that’s perfect for my room. The only problem is, I still need to install curtain hangers in my room… *sigh*

My dermatologist recently had me switch from acne cleanser to rejuvenating cream. The cream is actually quite expensive. Then again, at this age, it’s high time I start using one. After all, my skin cells is not that healthy as it was when I was just in my teens.

Moreover, I need to be more careful on what I put on my face - from make up content to make up remover. You can never be too careful. When in doubt on what facial product to use, again, just have your dermatologist go over the content.

Not a lot of interesting things happened this week. Oh, I heard from old friend Jesus. He was looking at Saint Louis homes for sale. He’s been there a few times on business trips and simply fell in love with the area. I’m actually quite surprised he’s settling down. He’s always been travelling for as long as I’ve known him.

Still, it seems like a good idea to have some place stable. And he told me that he’s considering getting a nice, small house by one of the many bridges in the city. I think he’s got a thing for bridges. When we went to Prague he used to stay up till dawn pacing around on bridges and gathering his thoughts.
Anyway, I wish him the best of luck. GOOD LUCK, JESUS!
