Survey says…

26 Jan

I watched the local version of Family Feud yesterday. I just wanted to see the Aquino family play with the Fantastic Four- the four honor guards… Anyways, the show was quite boring until Kris Aquino stepped in to thank Dingdong Dantes for his help for Noynoy Aquino’s infommercial or should I say campaign TV AD?

This thought just came to my mind while I was watching the show. During my commute last Friday, there were two College girls in their school uniforms sitting not so far from me. The one nearest to me was carrying a big plastic see through container on her lap. The contents were peeled fruits! Yummy! Funny, she put out a fork, opened the container and offered half small peeled apple to her companion. Diet? For me, it is not a diet or a balanced diet at all nor a cut in calorie intake. Why? That was a basket of peeled fruits! I saw around four apples, two pieces of guavas, three oranges and two other unrecognizable fruit.

Funny! I just thought that if there would be a survey on the usual New Year’s resolution, dieting or loosing weight would definitely land a spot on that board! It is very good though. Just like in the office, there is a diet craze and that includes me! ;)

Systems down?

23 Jan

Yes, my laptop sort of crashed two days ago. I woke up 2AM to do some blog hop but then again, the laptop won’t open. I tried to wake up my husband for him to fix this but of course, he was sort of pissed off because he was in deep sleep when I disturbed him. How inconsiderate of me? I blamed him for the laptop being broken because he was the last one who used it, he,he,he. No he did not fix this until 9AM in the morning. We did not fight. He understood me completely and I did understand him too when he waited til 9AM to face the laptop. Now, it is okay. We are using the lower version of Firefox though and you know what? The sites load faster.

Another system that is down is my body. I am on my second week of battling with coughs and colds. I even bit my own tounge because of exertion. Now I have a mouth sore too. Haaaayyyy…. they say that I have a low resistance because I do not eat much. Yes, I am on a diet. I am on my third week by Tuesday and I only lost 6 pounds to date. That was only the Holiday fat and still not much. So many more Holiday pounds to cut.

Anyways, I have to go. Til next time. Yes, I have to go back to work today. I hope the road is good.

25 minutes

22 Jan

Time Check: 9:02 AM. I actually told my husband last night that I will leave the house by 9AM to make it on time at the office. My shift starts at 11Am. However, I must be early since I have five lates already. That, I did not tell him about. ;)

I was supposed to be early in the office yesterday but because of some accident, it caused so much traffic. I arrived two minutes late.

I wonder if I will be on time today. I must if I do not want to have a written warning. So, I must go now. I only have 25 minutes to iron my clothes, eat my breakfast and take a bath!

Do you resort to bribing your child?

22 Jan

Rewards and punishment is one of the most popular and widely used method knowingly or unknowingly by parents in diciplining their children. Child psychology is really challenging, is it not? I just came across this thought because my son was crying a while ago and to appease him and make him totally stop, I gave him something that he could not resist. I will just not tell you, what it is, he,he,he.

Anyways, how about you? Do you sometime resort to bribing your child?

Creepy as it may seem

22 Jan

After typhoon after typhoon hit our country, vehicle owners are now looking for more comprehensive auto insurance quotes. One that could cover natural disasters. Many car owners including a friend of mine really spent much for the repair.

My husband on the other hand is thinking of moving out. He wants to live somewhere else. He wants a place that is higher, meaning will not be reached by floods. However, who really knows who will get caught up in that situation. That big flood came as a surprise to many. I do not want to sound creepy but just get that Book everybody should read. everything is written there.

Little endeavors

22 Jan

In line with the new year, we should also try to look at our plans for our finances. The global economic crisis is just starting up and even if many has been spared, do not wait until you get hit by it. Think and think hard. My husband is thinking of little endeavors like a water station, pet franchise, food cart and even renting out videoke machines. The biggest that we have thought of is a Physical Therapy clinic. Now that is really an ambition, huh! We need a licensed PT to manage it. That means, I have to pass the PT boards the soonest possible time. Now, the burden is on me. :) Anyways, I really liked that thought. I really hope that we could start doing it. Wish us luck on this one!

Cold floor

17 Jan

I hope that the money that I am expecting will be in my bank account already by Wednesday. I am planning to buy an allergy bedding and a new bed too. My son and I have been sleeping at the living room again. I think that the floor is cold and colder these days. However, my son feels suffocated in the bedroom thus I just have to buy a bed. Why allergy bedding? As I have written already, my son has asthma. Not so much these days but still, I have to prevent it from coming back because my kid really suffers from it.

Lungs do not think

17 Jan

Now I also got the cold virus! My husband and I are on their second week of fight with this common condition. I wonder how freezingly cold it could be in countries with winter season. I think that if ever we go there, we already need to buy an electric blanket or all of us will get flu. My son will never be able to take a bath too. ;) Yes, he did not take a bath this morning. My husband said that the lungs do not know if it is morning or night. Oh, well. That is why lungs do not think. We have brains and the five senses to tell us what our body really feels.

Medication or supplement

14 Jan

I am thinking deeply if I am going to try taking in diet pills. Before I do that I must consider the side effects of diet pill first. These magic tablets are readily available in the market so I suppose these are safe? I suppose so. Diet pills are now prescribed to those overly obese individuals. I do not like that time will come that I must take it as a form of medication to treat a condition. I must just take it as a supplement.

Learn a thing or two

14 Jan

One of my resolutions for this year is to read more. Not particularly pocket books but at least I must learn a thing or two everyday. How can I do that? By reading or watching TV or listening to the radio or maybe I could also get it from other people. Reading is the best way to learn, I guess.

What did I learn today? I was able to read tretinoin reviews and learned about some skin conditions in the process. Tretinoin is usually prescribed for acne and chicken skin. I like learning about the scientific name for chicken skin and that is Keratosis pilaris. KP it is! Something is playing inside my mind and it is a very naught thought. Here in our country, when a person is overly sensitive, he is being called onion skin. I just thought that maybe for insensitive people, we could call them KP!
