Healing can only start if you admit it to yourself that you need one. If you acknowledge that there’s a problem. After that, you can start looking for ways on how to heal yourself. There’s Passages Malibu, the world’s premier addiction cure center. It is founded by Pax and Chris Prentiss. Both are hands-on when it comes to running the center. The center knows how to cure drug and alcohol dependency. There are 9 therapists all working together to cure the underlying cause of the addiction. It could be a lot of things. Some people get addicted to painkillers. Either they are experiencing pain emotionally, psychologically or a more concrete pain like an injury. They are not the ordinary rehab center. They do not have a 12-step program. They offer holistic treatment aside from the medical one. With Passages, you need not experience shabby treatment to make you feel like you’ve been through hell to get to heaven. The facility is superb! Even the food is skillfully prepared. You can check out the Passages Malibu video for a tour of the place.
I’ve been following what happened to Aerosmith’s frontmant Steven Tyler. He’s addicted to painkillers. He entered a rehab to cure it and now he’s back and I heard that he might even be touring with the band. That’s a comeback for you! If he can do it, so can you. Go ahead and find out more about Passages Malibu Addiction Cure Center now. You can also visit their other sites for a better knowledge of their holistic approach.

Do you want to know who your friends are? They are the ones you are most comfortable being with. The ones with whom you can share a comfortable silence with. Some people feel the need to talk their heads off, filling in voids in a conversation. Others feel the need to catch their breath and are not worried it would be awkward when they do. That’s your friend there!
I miss my friend

My cousin Don keeps on forgetting to check the auto insurance quotes he got from an insurance agent friend of mine. He’s changing his provider because the quote he got from them for the renewal was quite high compared to the current one he’s paying for. He wants to find a cheaper insurance, one that will fit his budget for this year.
Most of my relatives are really finding ways on how they can cut down on their expenses for this year. I think this is the year of saving up. That’s why I am no longer surprised to hear that Don is cutting down on his insurance costs.

Can’t wait for the movie to be shown locally!
George Clooney is a swoon-worthy man. And he’s a great actor, too. That’s why I make it a point to watch his movies. I have been awaiting Up In The Air since I read about it in one entertainment blog. Then I saw Anna Kendrick in Ellen and it got me even more excited. The trailer shown was great!
It is rated R for some nudity and explicit language so that means I will have to watch this one in Trinoma with either Tim or Shen. Haha

I commend schools that make sure the students who graduate from them will be working thereafter in no time at all. The Regency Beauty Institute, a cosmetology school, recently launched a job site called BeautyJobs. The site aims to connect qualified job seekers with employers seeking to find one.
For students graduating from the Regency school, they need not look far and wide for a job. They need only browse the job site and apply in an open position. This is a great idea and one that will revolutionize the beauty industry. Go ahead and check out the school at RegencyBeauty.com while the job site at BeautyJobs.com.

- It’s Panagbenga in Baguio once again. Last year, we missed it because we went to Bataan instead. This year, my sisters and I were planning to go but opted not to at the last minute. We remembered that we’re trying to cut down on expenses this year so we can save up for a major project. I miss Baguio. It’s our adopted hometown. But the expense of staying in a hotel or a house rental plus going around the place, eating out, etc. is just not in our budget this quarter. Maybe next time…
- February is about to end. My goodness! The way the days go by it’s like a marathon is happening. Ang bilis! Before we know it, Lenten season is here. Time to really step up on the savings project. Another school year is just around the corner!

I was reading tweets when I read about it from CNN Breaking News. Have you heard what happened in Chile? An 8.8 magnitude earthquake hit them! I can’t imagine how strong that quake was. The Philippines’ worst quake was the 1990 Luzon earthquake with a 7.8 magnitude where an estimated 1,621 people were killed.
It’s really scary the things that happen these days. The Haiti earthquake, then there’s a report that Japan was also hit by a 7.3 magnitude earthquake, too. Then, this one in Chile.
I am praying really hard that nothing like this will hit the country. Let’s all pray that there won’t be another earthquake hitting any country again.

Hazel was sick for close to five days since Monday. She had fever and diarrhea. We went to her pedia and aside from the medicine, was advised to stop eating junk food. The thing is, we don’t really allow her to eat junk food. But when she goes out of the house, we don’t know what her folks are giving her. Hay.
The candies got to go. She’s been eating a lot of lollipops lately. And she’s on a soft diet for now. Poor girl’s craving for tempura but it has to wait.
She’s okay now but we’re giving it a few more days before she goes back to her normal diet.

You can really feel the summer heat now. All I want to do is take a bath and never leave the bathroom. My sisters and I am talking about going to the beach. It might be after the end of this school year because the two teachers in the family will be busy for the next few weeks. Plus the other accountant is also busy because of the tax and audit season.
My dad wants to go to Pangasinan again. My siblings don’t want to anymore. We’ve been there a couple of times during the past three years and for us, it’s enough. Our Tia Cely’s place is a tad too small for all of us. The barrio gets too dark by 6PM. There’s no sari-sari store nearby, you have to walk through a literally dark street before you can get there. The light is too malamlam (I don’t know the right term for this in English). The place has a general feel of being gloomy. Don’t get me wrong. Those times we stayed there were memorable ones for us. The company was good. We love our Tia Cely to bits! But to endure another night of gloom when we can just ask Tia Cely to come to Manila and join us elsewhere…
Anyway, I would love to go to Laiya, Batangas. My sisters are saying we go to Boracay. Bahala na. What I do know is that I need to go to the beach.

I realized that enjoying a dinner does not depend on how many people will be with you. You can be just four and still have a fun, fun time with each other.
That’s what happened last Friday. My friends and I were planning to see each other because we found another friend of ours we’ve long been looking for in Facebook. Things didn’t go as planned. Before Friday, the meet-up was scrapped already. The ‘guest of honor’ was not replying to messages sent to her. We thought of asking others to join us instead. But being a close-knit group, we were not as confident the night would go well with trying to talk to people we hardly ever get to bond with in high school. To make a long story short, we scrapped the plan altogether. No more plans of seeing each other on Friday night for dinner.
And then come Thursday afternoon, we found ourselves planning the dinner again. Tim was under a stressful situation at work so she wanted some stress busting time with us. Dinner happened with only four of us: Tim, Shen, Jing and yours truly. It was a blast! Our table was the loudest! We were laughing about inanimate objects that slipped into the discussion unnoticed. We were teasing Shen about her boyfriend coming over for a visit. We were talking about so many things that before we know it, almost 5 hours have lapsed. As usual, fun times have had by all.
Unfortunately, no one thought of bringing a camera so no photos taken that night. Sayang! I would have love to post the photo of the sisig rice I ate. Sarap eh!

We might be going to Pangasinan this weekend. It will be a long weekend because the 22nd is a holiday. My dad and his siblings are still talking about it. They’re planning a two-day stay that will include going to Our Lady of Manaoag Church and a side trip to Hundred Islands. Swimming time! I am just a bit worried because my dad is experiencing joint pain and he might not be up for a long travel time. But the fresh air and the early morning sun will do him a lot of good for sure.
I am not yet decided whether we would really go. I am saving up and going with the family would mean shelling out a chunk of money. I do hope they will chip in this time around. If not, it’s a no-go for us.

She has been working so hard for the past decade, thinking of everyone around her but herself. She feels like it’s time to start indulging a bit, think of her future more and begin her life journey. She wants to slim down. She let herself go for the past few years, food being her only indulgence. She wants more from life now and to do that, she needs the safest weight loss pills there is to help her lose weight, get healthy and be ready for the long journey ahead.

My sister really likes a dress that she saw in a magazine. She is thinking of using it in a school function. The thing is, it doesn’t fit her. The biggest size they have is still a tad too small for her. It would be great to have a diet pill that works really fast so that she can lose weight before the big event.
If only there is a quick fix for weight loss. It would probably be so much easier to do a great-looking dress, right?

Hazel went to Pangasinan with her dad last December 28. They went there because her grandma wanted to see her and her siblings. So off she went to her dad’s province…
Notice how bubbly she looked? She’s excited and even had her things ready! Cute di ba? She had her little bag with her pa. They were supposed to go home the day after. But then they decided to extend for one more day. On her second night, her mom called us up to tell her that Hazel was crying really hard and was asking to be brought home. Home meant us. When my sister talked to her, she was sobbing her heart out. We thought she was just missing us but it turned out that she had a large wound and it was hurting so much! Her hand got stuck in the bike’s wheel without her dad knowing it. We were so worried! If Pangasinan is just near, we would have went and gotten her back that very night. Good thing they went home the next day. But it wasn’t until 11 in the evening that we saw her again. Looking like this…
Tell me, would you be happy to see your little girl looking like this? I was already sleeping when she arrived. My sister told me that the little girl couldn’t even stand on her own. She looked so weary. And she was so hungry! After eating, she was able to get up and asked to see her pet (Pancake in Pet Society hehe).
And yes, that’s the infamous bike wound! My sister said that it was obviously not cleaned when Hazel arrived. My dad got angry and scolded her parents. Sobra naman kasing pabaya! We are taking good care of her each and every single day. Three days with them and she went home looking like a 30-year-old stressed out girl with a big open wound to boot!

I haven’t been feeling 100% okay for the past few days now. I’ve been feeling full and bloated and my hyperacidity problem has kicked in again. I do think that this is a diet aid of some kind because I haven’t been eating as much lately. I am officially in a forced diet mode ha-ha
I do think that I need to start that detox diet I have in mind. I’ve read about it and a local health news program featured that detox diet. And there were people featured, too, that said the detox diet worked for them. It cleansed their bodies and even worked as a weight loss element for them. That’s what I need!

Have you indulged in sweets last Valentine’s Day? Have you eaten all the chocolates your honey gave you? Ah, yes! You enjoyed it, did you? Now it’s time for some fat burner to shed those calories from last weekend!
I just admit that I indulged, too. My sister brought home two big boxes of Macadamia Nuts covered with chocolates. I love macadamia nuts. You can just imagine how many pieces I devoured! I felt bad about it afterwards but I just consoled myself with the fact that it’s a special day and something sweet was required to be eaten.
Ha-ha-ha!

Don’t try to fool me when it comes to money matters because I’ve been there. Not to mention the fact that I was an accountant for a long time and will remain as such until I develop Alzheimer’s. Don’t try to create a scenario that you know I can easily see through. I know. I’ve been dealing with those institutions since I became a professional. I know. Okay?
It’s funny how we forget to be careful when we are so blinded by love. We forget that those close to us can see through your flimsy excuses. I can understand the situation, sure. But to try to sell a scenario that I could easily figure out as untrue. Ha!
It just annoyed the hell out of me.
