Pet puppy

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

I must admit that I am not much of a pet owner since we only have one dog at home and he belongs to my dad. I once had a chick and lovebirds but I already turned it over to my siblings to take care of. My sister is thinking of buying a shitzu puppy for months now. She is already scouting for pet beds, clothes, food, and other accessories.

The only thing stopping her is the price of the puppy. She’s still saving up for it. Once her savings is enough, she is sure to buy that cute little puppy she’s been looking at every time we go near the pet store.

Entertainment news I read

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

Entertainment News. I read it a lot! Well, who doesn’t? The lives of the celebrities are so interesting and so entertaining that when you start reading one news article or entertainment blog entry, you end up reading the rest of the news you can get your hands on. I must admit that it’s eating a chunk of my time in the morning. Sometimes, I feel guilty for being so hooked on entertainment news because I am more interested in it than on national issues. But admit it, after reading crimes committed left and right, corruption, abuse, and other unimaginable things happening around the country, you feel like cleansing your mind and turning to something more lighter. Entertainment news! I love reading about new hook-ups especially if it’s two of my favorite stars. Or that of new Hollywood babies. I love reading new beginnings and success.

I remember I watched a season or two of Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie’s The Simple Life. I saw them really fumble their way to popularity. Both looked so wasted in almost every episode of that show but the media was reporting their every naughty escapades. I was actually following entertainment sites because of the two. Then they had a fight that made them somehow the best of enemies… Then fast forward to a couple of years after, Nicole Richie is now a mom of two and Paris Hilton is still the party girl but have mellowed a bit. They have reconciled and are now friends once again. I read all these in an entertainment site that I read. I love how you can read entertainment news about reconciliations of friends and lovers. It just makes me smile even though I don’t know them personally.

Whatever you say, my time reading entertainment news makes me smile even after reading something that broke my heart.

A surprise for the family

Saturday, March 20th, 2010

My uncle is surprising his family with Branson vacation packages! He is planning on going by April. I heard him telling my dad about it and I can hear the excitement in his voice. I know that he’s been working hard the past year and is hardly ever home early. Aside from the brand new house he is working hard for, I now know where his other savings will go.

How nice it would be if we can also go on a grand vacation together, right?

Happiness from relief.

Saturday, March 20th, 2010

I could see from his face the happiness he felt with the joint pain relief he was given. He has been suffering from joint pain. His kids could not afford it so it took a good samaritan to be able to give him the relief he needs.

This is the one thing I vowed to myself. I will make sure I have enough savings so I won’t be relying on someone for medication or other things when I am already old. I want to be able to buy the stuff I need with my own money. I wish I can really save up and not rely on anyone when I am old and gray.

Eating habits changed

Saturday, March 20th, 2010

George is taking cholesterol medications. He collapsed a couple of weeks ago at work. He didn’t tell his family about it. His wife is pregnant and he doesn’t want to cause her alarm. But when he went to the doctor, he was told of his high cholesterol level. His doctor is his friend as well so he told him bluntly that he might suffer a heart attack if he doesn’t stop from eating too much fatty food.

Of course, George still wants to see his baby grow up so he will surely change his eating habits now.

It’s him again

Saturday, March 20th, 2010

It was a Toastmasters event when I saw him. He was sitting at the back row trying not to look at every one in the room. I was at the front. With bad eyesight, I didn’t realize until I approached him that he’s suffering from severe acne. I think that more than any other was the reason he couldn’t look at anybody. He was probably afraid to find us looking back at him.

I saw him again three years after. He was looking good! I think he underwent adult acne treatment because his face was smooth when I went to greet him! Who knew that the guy who looked like he was so uncomfortable in his own clothes would end up looking so much like a hot model?

Not as confident

Saturday, March 20th, 2010

A natural fat burner is what Julie needs to fit into that bikini she bought. She needs to lose five more pounds to look good in a skimpy red bikini that she bought. She and her friends are hooking up with guys in a beach resort somewhere. Of course, she wants to look good. She is ready to enter into a relationship after a bad one a year ago.

I am not as confident in hooking up with men I just knew from somewhere. If I knew them, then that’s okay. But hey, whatever makes Julie happy, right? Anyway, she’s old enough to know what’s right or wrong. And what’s safe or not.

Annoying habit

Saturday, March 20th, 2010

Get cures for hemorrhoids if you have one. I had a co-worker who couldn’t help but fidget on her seat. It’s an annoying habit of hers and one that I couldn’t understand until I was told that she had hemorrhoids. That’s the only time I understood what’s ailing her.

I must admit I was harsh on her. She’s a subordinate so I could criticize her if I wanted to. Because I was annoyed with her most of the time back then, I kept on criticizing her. I could be downright nasty at times. Thank goodness I was able to apologize before I resigned from the company. And I am happy to say that we’re still friends.

Investing her windfall

Saturday, March 20th, 2010

Digna is very much interested in investing her windfall. She does not want it to sit idly somewhere. She wants it to earn and possibly increase it twofold. She is looking to buy gold bars from a recommendation of a friend.

But she is still gathering information about investments in gold. She does want to double her money but she is more wary of being scammed. You can’t blame her, there’s just too many bad people around. If like Digna you also want to invest in gold, go to USGoldBureau.com now. Take advantage of the headway gold is making in the market. Invest now.

Up the steps of Grotto

Saturday, March 20th, 2010

Whenever we go to Baguio, I try my best to walk up the steps of Grotto. But the overweight me just can’t do it. I get lightheaded and my head would feel like it’s going to explode. I will go up slowly. After a few steps, I’d pause and would pant from shortness of breath. It’s really time for some xenadrine rfa x to go back to being fit!

I remember the first time I went to Baguio. I was still going to the gym back then. You can say that I was fit that time. But even then, going up the Grotto really took a toll on me. When the time comes that I get to go up that more than a hundred steps leading to the altar and I wasn’t short of breath or on the verge of passing out, then that’s the time I can truly say that I am fit and healthy!

Arrange stuff

Friday, March 12th, 2010

My dad has so much stuff in his tool storage. You can find almost everything you need there to clean the house, repair something, an Anilox and three cans of paint. I told him that he better arrange his stuff or he might not be able to remember what he’s supposed to be using already or what’s about to expire there.

And it reminded me to also arrange my own stuff. I have so many things stored upstairs that I don’t know what I have stored and what I have discarded already.

Heat is on!

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

I already feel so darn sleepy and it’s not yet even 4am!

The heat is really sucking you dry and making you drowsy. That’s how it is with me. I have so much to write about but my mind and body are not coordinating properly. I think my brain’s fried from the heat!

At least I was able to finish 30% of my goal for today. That’s a lot considering all I want to do is stay inside the bathroom and shower all day long.
