on work and leisure

Some friends from my previous company came over here at our house for a little get together slash dinner slash mini drinking session, it has been months since we last saw each other thus making our night full of talks and gossips and whatnots. They even brought me a cake and two bottles of my ever favorite sparkling white wine, making it a post birthday celebration too! It was really touching, that even after not seeing each other for some time the bond and the friendship remain still. And that is one of the many things why I still up to now misses my work, technically, its not the my work or my daily tasks that I missed, its the friendship and the company that embraces me in that small four walled building. Anyways, we call it off a few minutes before ten because they still have early shifts tomorrow plus my friend Paula has to finish her pending tasks and one of them were about to review for her Travel Nursing Jobs requirement that was given to her by the site she applied at which is 50statesstaffing.com, known for their up to date hiring and providing health care jobs in more than 2500 prestigious hospitals all over the US. So we just capped the night with some vague plans regarding our family day out together with the other friends in the office, hopefully by next month before the summer starts. Oh, I can't wait

quick holiday off

I was watching an early morning knowledge show yesterday when they featured the famous Branson Getaways site that offers great vacation packages for the family and even for bundle of friends and groups! It was super nice that it made me wish for a holiday stay together with my family. It was really enticing because everything that they offer will sure be a hit among the family members, I mean, everyone has something to look forward too. They have vast number of 70 shows and attractions to choose from, I bet no one will be bored or anything and they have a lot of attractions too like arcades, outdoor rides and thrills, Go cart tracks (that my husband digs to the nth level!), museums, caverns and even golf courses! You can just imagine how huge Branson is right? That is why it is such a great place to visit and spend a few good days of vacation there. Actually, according to their press releases and site details, they have packages to choose from that will fit anyone's budget and desire for a vacation. Be it the luxurious vacation that you want to experience to the most budgeted option, they have something great to offer for everyone! And what's really nice with Branson is the promise to keep in touch with their clients even if it's peak or off peak season, so just in case you wanted to make an arrangement with anything, you can just simply email them up or visit their site for the latest updates, promos and happenings. So if ever you are looking for or planning for a nice holiday vacation, you can check their site and see more!

Natural sleeping aids

Valerian root: It stinks, but it’s the most effective sleep-inducer of all herbal cures. You can find it in capsule, tea, tablet or liquid extract forms. Valerian root can also ease anxiety and muscle stiffness -- find out how.

Chamomile Tea: Drink a cup before hitting the sheets. Learn how chamomile tea can also help out with digestive problems, menstrual cramps and more.

Celery: Munch on some; it’s loaded with sedatives. We've got hundreds of recipes that use celery -- try one!

Lemon balm: It can be soothing and emit a pleasant scent.

Lavender: Take a whiff of lavender while taking a warm evening bath. It relaxes the nervous system, reducing stress hormones that often keep you awake. Lavender’s scent also ups the production of relaxing alpha waves in the brain for deeper sleep. If you get migraines, lavender can help with that too.

Hops: If your sleeping problems are connected to your period, hops can be useful because it balances out fluctuating hormone levels. Stuff a sleep sachet containing the herb under your pillow.

5 dirtiest foods

according to shine of yahoo.

The dirty food list, according to this fascinating piece I found over at AOL Health include the following:

Eggs: While most eggs aren't going to make anyone sick, experts estimate that more than 2 million germy eggs (as in Salmonella infected) get into circulation each year, sickening 660,000 people each year and killing as many as 300. Um, maybe we should think twice about eating that cookie dough (or, judging by our conversation on Vitamin G, perhaps you'd rather take your chances?). How to buy cleaner eggs? Make sure the carton says they're pasteurized and never buy a dozen that contains any obvious cracks or leaks.

Peaches: They're pretty, but that's just skin-deep. Health experts warn that peach skins are doused in pesticides before they make it to grocery store to prevent blemishes. On average, a peach can contain as many as nine different pesticides, according to the USDA. This is one fruit you might want to buy organic (which may have blemishes, but won't have pesticides). (Here's How Peaches Can Help You Build Muscle.)

Pre-packaged salad mixes: Surprise! "Triple washed" doesn't mean germ-free say experts. Pathogens may still be lurking so be sure to wash your greens before tossing in your salad bowl. (Don't make these salad mistakes!)

Melons: Get ready to be grossed out. According to the article, "when the FDA sampled domestically grown cantaloupe, it found that 3.5 percent of the melons carried Salmonella and Shigella, the latter a bacteria normally passed person-to-person. Among imported cantaloupe, 7 percent tested positive for both bugs." Ewww. Your best bet: Scrub your melons with a little mild dish soap and warm water before slicing. (Stay healthy with these delicious winter fruits!)

Scallions: Blamed for several recent outbreaks of Hepatitis A, and other bugs like the parasite Cryptosporidium, Shigella and Salmonella, scallions present a food safety problem because of the way they grow (in the dirt) and lack of proper washing. While you can't control what happens in restaurant kitchens, you can give them a super-duper washing at home before cooking with.

moisture masks from the kitchen!

Now here's a tip for a very nice and effective moisture masks! of course from ELF!

1 Tbsp kelp powder 1/2 Tbsp honey(raw honey is best) 1/2 Tbsp aloe Vera gel 99.9%pure) Mix all ingredients in a bowl and apply to a clean face avoiding eye area. Leave the mask on for 15 minutes and rinse with lukewarm water for soft, supple skin

Beef with Broccoli

One of the many dishes we order during my sister and dad's birthday celebration.. will post the recipe later..

dumb on programs

I was just doing nothing when my sister asked me about this Business Continuity Recovery. I got so stunned that my brain practically swirls around finding any logical answer for her question. But I was dumb founded. And she understand. Which is good. Because if she insists then I guess we'll have a fight, because I don't want her to know that I felt so numb and dumb at the same time when she asked me about it. Maybe she realized that I was really not good with computers, systems and the likes. Actually she's more into it, so why asked me? LOL. Funny but my sister always depends on me, on whatever. Maybe she believes in me, in one way or another. But then again, with question like this, she better check out www.syncsort.com, an online system company that offers great services when it comes to systems, technical, data protection and data management. The company that has been in the business scene for more than 40 years is what people need when it comes computer stuff.

Vit Up!

Of course we all want to look good and feel good always, and with that, we need to take care of our body by getting enough vitamins and minerals. Speaking of vitamins... here's a deal with Vitamin C

Vitamin C in a daily dosage of 2000 mg is strongly recommended to help you maintain your good looks and prevent the appearance of broken blood vessels. Vitamin C is one of the building blocks of blood vessel walls and helps strengthen them. Vitamin C can also help your skin look more radiant!!

Tips for Beautiful Face

We all want to have a young smooth looking face right? But unfortunately, not everyone has this smooth and baby like skin! that is why here's a tip to minimize those pores!

Ingredients: -one green tomatoes - one tsp of honey directions using a blender puree the tomato with the honey, apply to a clean face with a foundation brush, and leave on for 20 minutes, then wash

quick break

I envy those who will have a grand holiday vacation this Christmas break. Actually, we also planned of going out of town on our anniversary but due to financial constricts, we opt not to. Maybe some other time, when we have spare moolah to splurge. But for the meantime, we might as well make the most of our holiday time together with the rest of our family, although we might do some nearby town trips but no reservation to famous and luxurious inns or the kind like cancun hotels. A day of sun and stroll around Tagaytay with some pig out feast at one of those deliscious restaurants will do. But one thing that I also would want to do is to have a day or two at the beach, but then again with the cold season right now, I think its impossible, its really freezing cold especially at night and it would mean a so-so celebration for us. So I guess a whole day of sun and family fun at Tagaytay then.

help on debts

There are many reasons for people to face court actions, one of the many are financial cases, being submitted to court are because of bad credit. be it from credit card companies to other financial institutions, sometimes people tend to neglect their monthly bills thus having themselves being burden with additional costs coming from interests and other hidden charges. and with that, people tend to run away from their responsibility in getting their monthly dues settled. But good news for those who really wanted to face and pay their dues for TheCreditExchange.com gives hope and chance for those who wanted to gain their financial stability back into shape by giving special privileges and offers to regain their financial stability and even rebuild their credit card! by providing debt help and debt consolidation for those who wants to regain their financial condition. they also do financial analysis and debt consolidation with connection to other debt loans and financial managing companies.

free

I don't know really but emails keeps on spamming my inbox on ways to finally get out of debt. As I mentioned for the nth time already, I took the leap. Yes, I just did took the leap and settled my outstanding balances from the credit card company I'ved been with for the past five years. I totally cut off my card and swear to never use a credit card in the future. I had to learn from my mistake, the hard way. Some friends knew what the hell I've been through all this credit card and loan talks, but you see, things are going great now, totally debt free and peace of mind at its finest, well, when it comes to financial issues, just so you know. So if you are also in the situation where I was for some years ago, I guess it's better to start acting now, to finally settle and make a discussion with your financial company, it can help to tell them the honest situation your financial status is right now so they can meet up with you halfway. Good luck to us all! and glad to say I'm free.

feasts and fats

It's Christmas time once again! Feasts and food fest are everywhere, parties and family gatherings too! And that makes me worry about my body, for sure I'll gain so much weight after the holidays. And fears me so you know! That is why I am already thinking of trying the famous acai berry diet! Read a lot of good reviews about this diet regimen and I guess there is no harm in trying. At least there will be an instant answer to my weight issues.

free!

My friends and I were talking about ways of debt elimination and other things that has to do with manage debts to finally be worry free. It has been years since I suffer sleepless nights just by thinking about my unpaid dues and still upcoming bills to pay. Having no regular work to provide for the payment, it became my nightmare, really, although you wouldn't see me so worry about it, I'm a great pretender! just so you know. Anyways, if you are already thinking of settling your own debts too, visit http://debtelimination.net/PayOffMyDebt.

need moolah?

My dad tells me about this super fast cash loans being offered at their company. Actually he thinks its really good to grab specially if a crew or a member signs off for a vacation, it is really a good help to have additional financial back ups since it is very expensive to go out every now and then, you'll never know when you will run out of funds. And also, going home for a vacation during this time of the year makes everything super expensive and all. Christmas shopping here and there, bazaars, trade fair's, weekly parties amongst all the other money inducing activities that can really make one's pocket drained out. That is why, this is the best time for financial companies to offer different kinds of offerings like fast and easy cash loans to people who are in need of money and loans.

Inspired

This cutie baby Asher inspired me to think of ordering a nice brag bangle for the folks with the kids photos in in! You see, I've been running out of ideas of what to give the elders of the family this Christmas, actually we are already completed the Christmas shopping for the kids all was left are list with parents, aunts and grand folks. Good thing, Mai mentioned that she will be giving out PB's and brag bangles, great idea! I wish it's alright for her if I copy her idea... Been super busy with a lot of stuff lately like reading and studying about work holding thus making me idea-less for other things.

Caffeine addict

I am a real coffee drinker. My day wouldn't be complete without my caffeine fix. That is why it has been my biggest dream to own a nespresso machine. Dad actually knows how to use this since in his work some few years ago, their ship's captain has this thing and espresso coffee is a staple thing in their cabin, making him an espresso maker expert! For sure he'll be able to teach me how to run this dream machine!

But for now, since I still don't have the ways and means to buy this thing, I'm doing good with this Mocha Joe from BK! at $1 per cup, not bad! super affordable and way too satisfying for the caffeine crave.

Car Show that was

It's been some time now since the last time that I went out to see a car show. My sister went to see one some two weeks ago, there they were able to grab some good deals on car parts and accessories, she said that they actually were able to save a lot from their loots, thus making them able to buy enough stuff they need for their car. And I heard they saw celebrities too! But were too shy to ask a photo with them!

Here's a photo I grabbed from her flickr account, super low rider! I'm dreaming to have one like this in the future!

Weekend Lafang

Went out with A for a dinner out Countryside Steak house . I had sizzling Pork Steak, of course I still stay at the most comfort part whenever ordering, I'm not the type who orders new courses or meals. Simply because I don't want to regret my ordered food. So what I had is the most common ordered steak in the house, super cheap compare to other steak house but I must admit that it tastes good! The gravy has a distinct taste making the pork a lot more interesting to eat. The vegetable side dish are fresh, its not overly done. Fried potatoes on the side compliments the whole dish. The servers were fast and efficient too. Their POS systems makes everything fast since their receipts can be punch out at a fast rate.
