Family Vacation Getaway

School vacation is just around the corner and many of my friends are planning up their vacation as early as now. Some will go to their provinces but others will go to some beach resorts of their choice. It’s the common itinerary of the friends I have because beach vacation can really relax and bring your energies back again. Just imagine a week of stay in the beautiful cottage fronting the beach side with the cool breeze of the ocean on your hair hmmm.. it’s so relaxingly beautiful. Well as for now I really don’t have any fixed plans for the vacation but my cousin is urging me to look for a place to stay in Myrtle Beach because they really want to go there by next month. It has long been planned but due to some circumstances it was cancelled. I suggested Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Hotels I found online because it has many beach hotels and resorts located directly on the ocean which my cousin so dearly loves to stay.

Cousin’s hubby can’t take his sports on the side while having vacation so I’ll have to look for a place where they can combine hubby’s favorite golf sports with cousin’s flair for finest amenities and accommodations of the new Seaside Myrtle Beach Hotel which is just some few steps away from the dazzling beach side, perfect for cousin’s dream vacation. Well they really love staying at one of the resorts there because that’s exactly what they’re planning a year ago. So many things happened including the disastrous big flood in our place that makes everyone strive hard to make up for the lost properties.

Now that we’ve moved on and somehow have saved enough for a relaxing vacation we might as well plan a vacation getaway that will bind the family. I just can’t make up my mind where so I just helped out my cousin who is so busy with her business to arrange things for their family vacation. It’s a favor I’m doing for them and since I’m always online I have the privilege of seeing what’s new and good for the deals. Well If I’m to ask I’ll definitely choose Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Hotel for them so they can enjoy vacationing in the beach, some nice entertainment, fine dining, shopping, perfect accommodations and of course his husband’s golf which cannot be put behind the vacation. Good for all of them and I think they agree with me.

:Looking at the Sky on Friday #68

Click the image to see larger view

It's Friday once again and I always love posting here my share of looking at the sky. I got here a photo of the condominium building directly in front of our church and I have a nice view here because we're renting at the fourth floor. I have the privilege of taking a low or high shots. For this week I've chosen my shot of the full upper front building where the beautiful sky and clouds serve as the perfect background for the condo building. I wonder if the tenants know how beautiful their place is. I would love our house to have a picture like this one.

Happy sky watching! To visit more beautiful sky photos just click on the badge above!

Optimum Protection from Sun’s Heat

My Mom told me to bring protection from sun every time I choose to go out of the house. I’m just not used to using umbrella on short distance walk to store. Mother knows best because if the skin is always exposed to sun it will dry out and possibly develop some wrinkles. I don’t want that to happen to me because I’ll need anti wrinkle cream like strivectin if I develop too much wrinkles.

I’m fond of reading reviews on just about any topic and I came upon some reviews about this product not being a complete cream for wrinkles and was introduced first as a cure for stretch marks. The review dwells on the product incapacity to be what it claims to be. It’s not complete with needed ingredients which make it not an ideal one to use if ever I should need one. Now that I don’t have wrinkles yet I guess I can just stay away from sun’s heat and avoid overexposure when outside the house. Of course optimum protection must be in hand always. Anyway there are lots of alternative and I’ll search for it when I have the time.

Pizza Snacks Within Short Distance

Just had my snacks with my Mom and three kids and we tried the new store few blocks away from my house? It sells pizza with toppings like bacon & mushroom, bacon & cheese, hawaiian, ham & cheese, mushroom & cheese and pepperoni & cheese. The kids chose ham and cheese and ordered fruit shakes to drink with the pizza. They also have French fries, dimsum and different sandwiches. It’s just the regular community pizza and the taste is only ordinary nothing special but for pizza lovers like us it’s just fine, anyway the price is only from P75-P120 so it’s really affordable. What’s important is that we can have pizza now whenever we want it. We can even make a call first before we go there so they can prepare it before I pick it up.

Control Your Sweet Cravings

I had some good cravings for foods mostly sweets last month and a friend gave me a sachet of healthy coffee to somehow control myself from wanting too much sweets. I know I’m drinking a healthy variety but on me it acted as appetite suppressant because it didn’t only stopped my sweet cravings but suppressed my appetite for other foods as well.

Most of my friends know that I want to shed some pounds but I want it the healthy and natural way and if that coffee had that kind of effect on me I think it’s not for me. I stopped it immediately and relied on my own conviction that veggies and fruits will do better. I just need to spend more time on my daily exercise as I don’t have enough of that this month. Not for being slim and fit only but generally people should have regular exercise and balanced diet in order to be healthy. I need to focus on that.

Fighting My Headache

I’m loaded with tons of work and I’m planning to work until night so I can finish all tasks before the cutoff but time is running out on me I don’t think I can finish it in my desired time. Anyway it’s not task assignment due date that I’m beating but the pay cutoff so if ever I failed to finish it all it will just be fine. I’m starting to have some headache but I will not let this hamper my work as I’ve already put some Chinese ointment. I don’t want to take medicine as I’m afraid if it will make me sleepy. I can work until midnight or dawn but when sleep overpowers me I have no choice but to stop. Now that I’m inspired to work and write I’d better make it fast before my weak side take over.

His Time to Leave

I heard from my friend working in a hospital that one of the frequent killer diseases these days is colon cancer. I was surprised because in the past decades we never thought that it could be one of the diseases that can harm people so much that it can be a severe kind. I’ve read colonix review and some testimonials of people who survived but so far I’m still not sure of its causes and prevention.

I’m just sad that the husband of my cousin died from colon cancer without any single symptom and idea that he has been suffering from this disease. He just complained about his stomach and when they consulted their doctor they learned that he has the cancer already and the stage is severe that it only took no more than a year and he died from it. He doesn’t have a single vice, he has a healthy lifestyle and he has not been subjected to stress or anything. Well I think his sickness serve only as a reason for his final farewell to his family and his time has come to face our Creator.

Balance of Work, Attitude and Responsibilities

Did you experience making one person’s day beautiful because of your kind words? I’ve been to a lot of that kind of situation in my work and I must say people like me for having the nice words to say to them when they needed it most. I’m always burdened with the task of laying the rules and reprimanding those who can’t abide by the rules. But I don’t like doing it. It pains me to see my staff and co-employees’ faces when I hand a memo or make them understand the standard rules in the office. Worst thing is telling them that we don’t need their services anymore after nearly six months of employment.

It’s hard to work in the Human Resource department, you need to be tough and not a soft emotional human like me. Although I was able to do all my responsibilities in the office I felt it’s not my world. So I did my work with a balance of being an officer with respectable attitude and the heart of a psychologist who’s always ready to understand their situations in life. Being a born-again Christian helps but the whole job was really a tough one as sometimes my emotions were defeating me. Now that I’ve left my corporate job I shared some experiences in my blog and hope to help others who are in the same situation.

I had a research about hemorrhoid, its causes and prevention and I learned a lot about this sickness and though it’s not life-threatening it can cause too much pain on the patient that will lead them to look for the best hemorrhoids treatment. But I know that it’s better to know the causes of this sickness and its prevention so we can avoid this from happening to us. What leads to hemorrhoid are Increased straining and irritation due to constipation, diarrhea, wearing of tight clothing, obesity, sitting for long period of time and some other which results in irritation.

To prevent this we should keep the stools soft by drinking plenty of water, eat dietary fiber like fruits, vegetables and cereals. It also helps when we do walking, exercising and practicing better posture. Pregnancy and hypertension can also be one of the causes. Now we should avoid foods that will worsen the patient condition like nuts, spicy foods, caffeine and alcohol.

Careful Not To Get Allergies Again

Few days from now classes will end and kids will have their summer vacation. I’m really looking forward to these summer months because it’s also a break for me to wake up so early at dawn to cook and prepare food for my schooling kids. I can get up an hour later than usual since DH will only be the one who will go to office. I’m thinking of ways on how the kids can be occupied on their vacation. Anyway I’ll have another two weeks for that to think about. For now I’ll have to check the remedy for my friend’s eczema as she’s asking me to help her find the best treatment for the skin disease she got from wearing her leather sandals. She seems to have allergy for leather goods and it’s late when she found out that she has incurred such allergy.

I have a relative that develop a skin disease on her feet upon wearing wet shoes and slippers. It took her some months to treat her eczema and when she finally found the right cure she was very relieved. It’s not an easy thing for her to have that sickness and since then she’s very careful with the kind of shoes she wears. After all she didn’t want the same allergy on her feet again because it’s so painful. She learned her lessons well.

Look Younger with a Change of Attitude

You want to look younger? No I will not tell any beauty regimen here or promote products that will make you look young. It will not cost you a cent but a lot of wise thinking. If you want to look younger then practice thinking younger – change your attitude. Age has less to do with years than it has to do with attitude. When you accept this fact and truly believe this then your appearance will improve significantly. Your posture will improve (remember poor posture advertises old age). Your behavior will become youthful and your outlook in life will dramatically improve. That’s the secret of some people who didn’t have to go to expensive salon to have their skin look young. It’s just mind over matter. Just always remember your age is what you make it so if you think old you’ll be old and if you think young it will show in your face.

The Value of Having Good School for Nursing Programs

With today’s current situation in the world where natural disasters are at its peak occurring in various countries we need a lot of help in the field of health care and medicine. Doctors and nurses are greatly needed in countries which were badly damaged by earthquake because their casualties are in immeasurable numbers. It was a big surprise to the whole world that certain peak of catastrophe will ever hit a country. Almost everyone was devastated and a yearning for help in the treatment of wounded people is of great importance.

The field of health care and medicine is indeed a noble job and I came to think that nursing students should really be enrolled in a good nursing school in order to attain high quality education and the best Nursing Programs Phila for them to deliver the best service to their patients. They should be good in academics and clinical experience to become a good nurse. When my eldest daughter was only four years old she dreams of becoming a nurse and when I ask her why she answered me with a smile that she wants to take care of the senior citizens like her granny who suffers from arthritis. She also thinks that being a nurse is one of the best jobs a person could ever have.

‘Lil Boy Stomach Pain

Blessings poured in last night and I was about to start doing my multiple tasks when Josh was suddenly hit by stomach pain that kept him from enjoying his lunch. He actually munched three bites of his favorite chicken and cried to me for help. I was relieved to have my Mom beside me always who knows a lot about first aid on the usual illness of children.

It turned out to be the result of cold stomach and too much hot temperature that resulted some pain in my little boy’s tummy. It started before lunchtime and ended an hour after we prayed and gave him hot massage using my Mom’s good old medicinal recipe. After one hour of nap my little boy asked for his fried chicken and ate with gusto. I’m happy now.

Cellular Replacement Parts

I bought accessories for my daughter’s cellular phone and she was excited to put it in her phone but when she placed it on her phone she missed the exact place where the accessory will be placed. She accidentally hit the line where the LCD of her phone was connected and she was surprised when she saw a crack in her mobile phone screen. It was an unfortunate case as she was only putting her favorite accessory character on the phone. She didn’t know that I was also talking to myself why I bought the accessory that will damage the phone. Well it was an accident and I’m now finding solutions for her mobile phone.

My niece wanted so much to study basic electronics and cellular phone repair in technology schools that offer such nice vocational courses. Even before she expressed her desire to study she can do simple troubleshooting of appliances and cellular phones. When I asked about the replacement of Gen’s phone she told me that she can have it checked by her friend. Well to help them both I checked primelec.com for Gen’s cellular replacement parts and I found parts, gadgets and some other items at affordable prices. They also offer computer parts, phones, electronic components, servers, hardware and some other gadgets. It’s fun browsing up their site as they have many things to offer.

Stop the Disease from Spreading

Proper health should be maintained at all costs so every member of the family will be protected also. If someone in the family is sick it’s normal that one of his housemate will follow or get sick through the virus emitted in the air. Virus can easily spread in the house if the sick person is not so keen on healing or treating himself. There should a proper awareness to people with communicable disease or their family will suffer with them.

This is applicable for all sickness that may arise be it the usual sickness of cold, coughs, measles or the embarrassing diseases which the male often kept secret. If ever you’re put in an embarrassing situation of having contacted this transmitted disease you can have yourself tested in one of the STD Screening Clinics without being embarrassed and will not take much of your time. It’s more convenient as you have it requested online and set up a schedule for a no hassle testing of your disease.

Maintaining a Healthy Body

It takes a lot of discipline and self-control to maintain a healthy diet. It’s actually easier to succumb to your longings than to start a meal plan of purely healthy meals consisting vegetables, fruits and fish. Well I had the will to do this kind of diet last year and it paid off as I lost some pounds. But I stopped more than two months ago because I can’t prepare a different meal for me due to busy schedule. I was again faced with the problem of excessive pounds from working too tight during night time. So for now I have to get back to my old regimen of eating less fatty foods and more of fibrous healthy foods.

That’s my resolution if I want to get back in shape. I still have to work out my problem with my tummy. Well for my friend living in US for quite some time the only solution she know is the vaser liposuction in Chicago which is perfect for those who want to remove excess pounds in the problem areas like tummy, thighs, abdomen and many more. They’re using a new advanced technique in surgery that can reduce your fat without affecting the important parts of our bodies. It’s recommended for people with healthy lifestyle who just can’t get rid of fat in some areas of their bodies.

:MYM - Hiding and Playing

Gotcha! I caught Ryza in the act here as she's trying to hide from her father. Her father was following her every turns she goes and was telling her to stop in one place. On the next picture she thought she finally escaped from him but I saw his father hiding from her on the side of the car. Funny father and child! She's one and only anyway! Ryza is my godchild, she's a granddaughter of our Pastor in the church. She's just one year old here last summer camp meeting!
