Life is not about keeping score
It is not about how many friends you have
It is not about if you have plans this weekend or if you are alone.
It isn’t about who you are dating, who you used to date, how many people you’ve dated, or if you haven’t been with anyone at all.
It’s not about who your family is, or how much money they have.
Or what kind of car you drive.
It is not about where you went to school. Or whether you rub shoulders with the rich and famous
It not about how beautiful or how ugly you are.
Or what clothes you wear, what shoes you have on, or what kind of music you listen to..
It is not about if your hair is blonde, red, black or brown,
Or if your skin is too light or too dark..
It is not about what grades you get or how smart standardized tests say you are.
It’s not about what clubs you’re in, or smoking cigars and sipping cognac
It is not about how good you are at your sport.
LIFE JUST ISN’T.
But.. Life is about being real and not being fake
Life is about dignity and respect
It is about who you love and who you hurt.
It is about who you make happy or unhappy…intentionally.
It’s about keeping and betraying trust and fighting for justice
It is about courage to stand up against and not turn a blind eye to human evil
It’s about friendship, used as something holy or as a weapon.
It about what you say and mean may be hurtful, maybe heartening.
It’s about starting rumours and contributing to petty gossip.
It’s about what judgements you pass and why..
And who your judgements are spread to.
It’s about who you’ve ignored with full control and intention.
It about cowardice, jealousy, fear, ignorance, and revenge.
It’s about carrying inner hate or love.
It is about letting it grow or spreading it.
But, most of all, it is about using your life to touch or poison other people’s hearts in such a way that never
could have occurred alone.
Only YOU choose the way those hearts are affected…
And THOSE choices are… WHAT LIFE IS ALL ABOUT!

We went swimming again. From eight in the morning until three in the afternoon. Right now, I feel as if my whole body was used as a punching bag. Every joint is aching. I feel like I am shaking inside. The water was so cold. I probably had too much of it. Sigh.
But it’s worth it. Had so much fun with the relatives :D

When my uncle told us about his experience at Bagac, Bataan, I immediately asked my dad if he wanted to go there. I always base our next destination to a place where my dad has never been to. And he said yes to Bataan. It was our plan to go to Laiya, Batangas but then off to Bataan we went instead.
Let me share with you some photos I took…
My baby ready to swim!
But then, we saw the big waves so we opted to just…
Goof around 
Did you notice I was wearing my eyeglasses? I wanted to see the view and enjoy the surroundings so I opted to wear it while I was sitting by the shore. All of a sudden one big wave slapped me on the face. It would have been hilarious if it didn’t take my eyeglasses with it! That was Saturday morning, before 9AM 
Needless to say, I was almost blind as a bat at night. But then I realized it might have happened for me to truly relax. Imagine not seeing anything at night except those at least a foot away from your face hehe
This was the cottage that we rented.
And the beautiful view from the cottage’s veranda.
We were near the shore so we could hear the waves while lounging around. All in all, our two-day getaway to Bagac, Bataan was truly a memorable experience for all of us.
Have a wonderful week everyone!

There are places here on earth that is more conducive to romance than the normal tourist destinations. The Caribbean is one of the places where so many newly-wedded couples go to for their honeymoon. Or those who are celebrating their wedding anniversaries. I know that if only my friend and her husband can afford to go on caribbean holidays, they would go in a heartbeat.
The Caribbean is, of course, best known for their white sand beaches, clear blue waters, and the great places to stay at. Many weddings and getaways are held in this place. I love watching reality shows. If you do as well, you might know Married Away. This reality show is about couples getting married in places away from their hometown. I’ve watched so many couples already who got married at the Caribbean. The place looks like a piece of heaven on earth!
One of the bosses in my former office always go on antigua holidays with her family. She came from an affluent family so going on vacations at exotic and beautiful places is not a problem with them. I remember her regaling us with stories about the different places she’s been to. And it were interesting, to tell the truth.

A popular mall in the city caught fire yesterday afternoon. Fortunately, every one got out and no one was hurt. According to news reports, the fire started at a Japanese restaurant’s kitchen. And was contained in that area alone. Smoke got out and that panicked some people who saw the black smoke coming from the kitchen. Alarm was sounded and every one was asked to go out calmly. A store employee got out with the store’s cash drawer. She was one of those interviewed and I really admired her presence of mind.

Two MP3 players that my cousins brought with them last weekend went missing. They were drunk already and the last they saw their MP3 players was on the table. When I was waking them up around 3AM, they were looking for their players. But both were missing already. Too bad they did not think of protecting their things. The part of the cottage below were they fell asleep was open. Someone probably took it already. Thank goodness only the inexpensive players were taken and nothing else.

After our trip to the beach, my dad had to buy a new Dansko professional footwear. He lost the one he brought along the trip. I didn’t know exactly why he brought it along but he did. And misplaced it! So he had to buy a new pair. My dad can be forgetful at times, especially when he’s having some fun. Which he did at the beach last weekend.

We were amused with my aunt’s story of how she gave her gift to her husband on their last wedding anniversary celebration.
Two months ago, my aunt thought of doing something fun for her wedding anniversary. She hid her three gifts in different parts of their house. She started with a clue for each gift and the next clue could be found with the gift. I love her clue for a watch. Small and big hands. How clever ha-ha! She chose a style from a number of rotary watches. Her choice is the Gents Bracelet Watch. The other two gifts were neck ties that her husband can use in the office and a voucher for a his and hers spa package. Her husband, in turn, gave her a huge amount of money she can use for shopping when they go this weekend to Singapore. What a gift! I already told my aunt to bring back a bag for me! :D
Anyway, going back to the rotary watches, my aunt told me the web site where she got the watch. Moores Jewellers Ltd. which is established in 1996 is offering various Rotary watches at a discount. The Gents Bracelet Watch retails now for £128.29 including VAT. The original price is £165. Big savings, don’t you think? I love watches! I even have some that are for men. I love most of the designs of the Rotary watches I saw at Moores.
If you are thinking of something to give your special one, your mom this coming Mother’s Day or your dad for Father’s Day, go to Moores Jewellers Ltd. and browse through their ROTARY WATCHES section. You will surely find one that will catch your fancy.
Visit MooresJewellersLtd.co.uk now and order one for you or your special one. I know I will be buying one for me.

I cut short my siesta today so I can do more tasks. From 3:30 PM until this very minute, 10:26 PM, I am still looking at three pending tasks I have to write right away and tons more that are not due yet but I want to start on. I am the queen of procrastination!
Hopefully this entry will jump start the writing frenzy that I need.

I took this photo yesterday morning at around 5AM. Sunrise in Bataan. Bataan is not yet too commercialized unlike other summer destinations here in the Philippines. But more and more people are discovering the province.
I am still sorting photos. I will share more photos of our Bataan trip in my next entry.
May we all have a happy and productive week everyone! Happy Monday!

Blogging has become a very powerful tool nowadays. I should know, I am a blogger myself. And I have used my blog in a variety of issues I want to air or raise awareness of. When I was given a horrible service by a local telecoms, I made sure I made others know about it. I aired my grievances online together with all the pertinent information I gathered about the company. Did you know what happened? The company representative called me up to apologize about their bad service and offered immediate help.
Now, there are also companies using blogging as a platform to introduce their company to the market better, tell them about future plans and current projects, and even tell them about social relevance the company is undertaking. This is why THG Worldwide set up a blog of their own. The blog contains information about the company itself, the activities the company have lined up as well as information about the company’s management. If you want to know more about Jon Stromberg or Paul Meakins, you just have to log on to the THG Worldwide Blog and read their biographies. Know more about their leadership views and their backgrounds.
Actually, this is one of the reasons why a company puts up a blog. So that their customers and business affiliates will get to know more about the people behind the company and the efforts the company is undertaking to give better service or products. Go to THGWorldwideBlog.com now and read more about the company and its executives there.

Amidst the cad drawings that he’s supposed to have printed, she told him everything. She’s torn between calling it as a blessing or as a big trouble. Because she is in big trouble right now! I don’t know how she can take care of herself when she’s all alone and without her “partner in crime”. I just hope she can stay afloat for the duration of her situation. I can only offer so much support. I cannot be there for her all the time. She needs her mom now more than ever but as usual, I don’t think she’ll be getting any.

Have you noticed how hard it is to go back to your normal routine after a vacation? Especially if it’s a good one. Well, I set my alarm to 5:30AM. I always wake up early on Monday mornings, to start the week right. But since I was bone tired yesterday from the travel as well as the heat, I didn’t hear my alarm. I woke up an hour later. Now I just have to work faster to be able to do a lot of pending tasks that include checking out life insurance lead for a colleague.

I lost my eyeglasses last Saturday morning. I was too excited to go swim I forgot to leave my eyeglasses at the cottage. When a big wave hit me, it took my eyeglasses with it. I stayed positive, of course. Instead of being annoyed with what happened, I just thought that I was really being told to rest. My eyes could rest only without my eyeglasses on. So there…
My sister bought a pair of contacts for me yesterday night. I need my vision to work. I can continue readning liporexall reviews and work on an article about it. Vacation’s over!

I had a boss before who loves to flaunt her riches. She would tell us about her expensive clothes, shoes, accessories, gadgets… everything! Of course, being her subordinates, we could not do anything but listen when she starts yakking about these things. She loves an audience. There was no way we could just walk away. We tried once and regretted it. She didn’t speak to us for a day. Oh yes, she did that. Did I forget to mention she’s a brat?
But there’s one thing that I am thankful to her for. BODY WRAPS. She has flabby arms. She does not like to tone up but would go for daily body wraps to get rid of excess fats. It actually worked for her because there was a time when she went religiously for two weeks and we were surprised to see her arms looking toned. So she yakked about body wraps once more. I learned all this from her.
So thanks to her yakking about her expensive body wraps, I am now aware that there is a way to lose excess fats and even cellulites. Body wraps. But of course, I can never afford those treatments she had. I can only afford so much. Affordable is the tag price for me.
And then I found ShimmerFX! They are offering several bodywraps for those who wants to get rid of their cellulites. Like me! And this is an affordable way to get rid of cellulites as well as lessen those flabby arms. At least, I now have a chance to enjoy body wraps that fits my budget!
You might be looking for the same budget-friendly body wraps. Go to ShimmerFX.com now and check out the products that they are offering there. Get wrapped! And lose all those cellulites so you can show more of your great body!

My friend, Tim, is creating a store for both mom and little kid clothes. She has a lot of them at home! Most are used only once or twice and are in perfect condition. Tim is a shopaholic and would buy clothes by the dozen at times. So you can just imagine how many clothes she accumulates in a month alone. Her husband jokes that the closet they have in their bedroom is supposed to be for both of their clothes and other stuff. The closet is now exclusively used by Tim and her many clothes and other stuff!
Anyway, so I finally encouraged her to sell her slightly used clothes for a cheap price. And she will do so in an online store we will both create. I am almost done except for one more thing: a banner! Pure Silva Banner Maker is the web site I found that offers free banner making. I will be creating one later on.
Go and visit PureSilvaBannerMaker.com now.
