Help in Growing Up Fast

We were browsing my little boy’s graduation pictures and we’ve noticed that Josh has slightly increased some height. Well it’s not that obvious because he’s really small for his age but I’m happy now that I see some progress. Well some people grow up fast and we must admit that some needs human growth hormone supplements to help them increase height or grow up fast.

I know that height can also be attributed to genetic background so I know that my little boy will grow and increase some height. For now I’m happy that he’s grown up as a charming, bright and nice little boy.

An Ounce of Prevention

I had a chat with one of my former office friends and we talked about the good old days in the consultancy company we worked for. Those days were really happy ones although our job was a tough one always beating the deadlines. Well we just laughed about it now that we’re both out of it. Since we’re not getting any younger we shared some health regimen that we thought could help us both now. I told her I’ve been eating at least 2-3 kind of fruits a day to somehow cleanse my system and give me a healthy glow. I’ve been reading some colon cleanse reviews lately and I’m deeply concerned with these colon cleansing diet.

We already had a colon sickness history in my mother’s side so I’m seriously studying some facts about it. It’s a great help knowing things like these because I know that knowledge can give us prevention on acquiring sickness. As they say an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.

Caring About Our Eyes

Before the holy week I was thinking of how hectic my schedule was for the last two weeks. Some blogging marathon at night gives me some tired eyes so if I can help it I wouldn’t work at night to prevent it. Anyway it’s not a problem really as there are remedy or lotion to remove dark circles under eyes so I’m not worried anymore. Besides I can also make use of my grandma’s old way of treating it and it’s putting some cucumber on my eyes to refresh them. I’ve tried it lots of times and it has done good thing for my tired eyes.

My New Additional Memory

I bought an additional 1GB memory for my computer last week but I haven’t installed it yet due to a very busy schedule which I can call a hectic one. Bigger capacity of random access memory is very important especially if you’re visiting many sites. Before I purchased an additional memory for my desktop I canvassed for the brand and price so I‘ll know which is the better choice for me. I also need to find some details and prices of mac memory for a friend’s computer.

We both need an upgrade in memory because we love visiting several sites and our existing memories are not enough for the tasks I’m always doing. Anyway when I bought my PC I’m just a new kid in blogging and didn’t know that I need to have a good traffic for my sites. I should have bought the maximum memory capacity then. Well now that I bought my new RAM next week I’ll install it when I have the time.

:MYM/RT- The Graduates

Here are my two graduating kids this March in their picture together four years ago. Ruth will graduate from Grade VI and Josh from preparatory school. They look so young and different in their picture here. Just looking at Ruth makes me treasure this picture of her with the cute full smile posing with her little brother which she always seem to joke and want to tease up to the point that he'll cry! Most of the times they disagree with many things maybe because of the age gap. Josh tends to be closer to Ate Gen who likes to play toys for the boys with him.

Now that Ruth is 12 and Josh is 6 they seem to get along well for months now and I'm so happy because the house is in peace with the three kids playing together in Y8 games hahaha! No worry about overplaying as I've set their playing schedule this summer, with limits of course!

I'll post their graduation pics on April :-)

Wedding Memories

It will be our 14th wedding anniversary on May 4 and kids are planning a little celebration for all of us. They asked me for a copy of our wedding invitations because they want to see if it’s still as nice as it was 14 years ago. Of course the little boy is as curious as ever because he didn’t see much of that invitation.

I remember that I was the one who did the layout design and all phrases written on that invitation. I brought it to the printing press for printing embossed copies because I don’t want it printed in ordinary computer printing. Invitations should last a long period of time and together with the ring, coin and photos it should make up your whole wedding memories.

Getting The Most From Health Insurance

Sickness is common these days as summer are well on its way. Too much heat is not good for our health and we incur skin disease and major sickness because of this. I just heard some cases of hypertension and stroke attack because of the effect of the weather. Senior citizens and babies are the most affected with this sickness. Thus, we should all be covered with health insurance like Blue Cross Blue Shield NC. In this part of the globe all employees in the private and public sector have mandatory health insurances in which premiums are being deducted monthly on their salaries.

Even though we’re only paying a small amount it is very beneficial to all members because you’ll get discounted rates on hospital fees upon confinement. I was actually joking to my friend that working mothers get the most benefits with our premiums because every time we get pregnant our hospital fees are almost free because of our health insurance.

Bad Effects of Asbestos

I really felt sad and angry every time I hear stories of people who were victims of Mesothelioma Cancer because I thought that it should be prevented if the owner of industries using asbestos have been careful enough. I know that those owners know the risks of using asbestos but somehow they’ve been irresponsible with their obligations to their staff to secure safety in their working environment.

For those who didn’t know the cause of this deadly cancer it is caused by exposure to asbestos and it happened on manufacturing industries that uses the formerly known wonder mineral. It has grown so popular because of its resistance to heat, electrical and chemical damage. Many found its great uses in building houses, manufacturing and many more. Anyway several years ago the government has banned its use and all we got now are the people who were exposed and suffering now from lung or mesothelioma cancer. Hope the manufacturers will be responsible in helping the victims in their treatment.

Wishing for a Change in Work Location

I’m lucky to have a husband that never drinks and never smokes cigars like cohiba because it can be dangerous to his health. With the kind of job he has its imperative to follow a healthy meal plan. He always arrive home late everyday because the store he’s working at wants him to be there at the closing time which is two to three hours past his regular time. The store closes at 10 in the evening if they’re located inside the mall unlike if they’re on their own site which closes around 7pm.

How I wish that he would be assigned to a near branch that closes earlier than his current branch. Actually there’s a branch just around 20 minutes drive from the house but he never asks the personnel to assign him unlike his office mate who directly asked the management to assign him on that branch. Luckily until now it wasn’t given to the one who requested. Hopefully their branch will start the renovation and reassign him to other branch much nearer so he can have more time with us especially the kids. Wishes!
