Disappointment And Confusion

Posted on February 19, 2012 by

PhotobucketI was pretty disappointed with my salary right now. I know i have no rights to complain and i know that i should be grateful enough that i have a stable job right now but I don’t think I am being compensated properly or perhaps I am just expecting too much from my industry or maybe I was just so exhausted in my field in a point that i am blaming everything even the salary that i am getting.  Well, you can’t blame me , as the breadwinner, i am taking all the responsibility at home, i shoulder almost everything and all the sort of expenses that we have and even i have this home-based “freelancing job” as a side line , i still don’t feel that I am doing good enough to help my family. Am I expecting too much? Am I too ambitious to dream of something way far from where we are now? Am I doing good enough or should I push myself much harder to meet those goals? Am I on the right field or should I look for a new one? Should I start my own business or what? These are the questions I have right now, hanging and looking for certain answers. I’m quite confused right now but with the crisis that we have today and with the degree that i am currently holding, i don’t think it is right for me to leave my job or maybe not now. I just have to bear with it first and I know God has plans for me in my future. After all, I’m just 23 years old, not too young but not too old either to stress myself with everything. If we only have some sort of investments like gold bars or other precious gems, then I’m sure i have nothing else to worry. Gold is actually a good investments since the value of it never fade and the older it gets, the higher the price you’ll receive if you sell them. I’m not sure if “hoarding” is a legal thing but that’s what they usually do. Those investors wait patiently until the value went high in the exchange market. But in reality, i don’t think we can have those gold bars not unless someone buried a chest of treasure under our house haha. Anyway, i should look forward to a better side especially now that i have heard that we will have an increase this coming March. What a relieving news right.

A Farewell to Whitney

Posted on February 19, 2012 by

PhotobucketIt is so sad to lose someone who became one of the major influences to most of the singers we have today. Whitney Houston is indeed a legend and her legacy will continue for the next generations. Her talent has became the standard of all aspiring singers all over the world and that’s how truly remarkable this woman is. Her fans gathered close to Whitney’s funeral to pay tribute for her. I failed to watch the online streaming of her funeral but i did saw the news awhile ago. Families, relatives, friends and her fans gathered to pay tribute for Whitney. Dionne Warwick was there so as the other celebrities including Kevin Costner, Stevie Wonder, Brandy and more. It’s really sad to know that we lose a legend in the music scene. Whitney have been through some Ups and downs and we cannot deny the fact that she has been into a horrible personal life as she dealt heavily on prescription drugs. There was this rare interview of Oprah to Whitney Houston discussing how she felt with Michael Jackson’s unexpected death. She had mentioned  that she don’t want to suffer like that and die at a very young age because of overusing of drugs. Unfortunately, Whitney, at the age of 48 died because of prescription drugs which obviously an evident proof that she failed to escape from that nightmare and drowned herself in addiction. I hope this could be a wake up call not just to other celebrities but for all people in general who is currently suffering from addiction. It has never been too late to change but you better start changing before it ruins your life completely. There are so many ways to get rid of it. It’s mind over matter thing guys. The enemy here is yourself and you have to fight the addiction to recover completely from such a horrible nightmare. You can always visit a Medical Detoxification Center for further treatment. Rehab centers are definitely the best way to put yourself up from being drowned to such an unhealthy habit. Drug Detox Rehab for example is a way to detoxify all those unwanted substances from your body until your recovery. There are several Drug Detox Program that can be applied to help them. Keep in mind that addiction, whether it has something to deal with drugs, alcohol or some sort of unhealthy behavior, has never been good and will bring nothing beneficial to someone. Choose the right path and make right decisions.

Food Dehydrators

Posted on February 12, 2012 by

Do you have a food dehydrator at home? I know it’s not one of the most typical electronic appliances we have at home compare to microwave oven or the refrigerator but is it really necessary to have one? What is it for and what benefits you can gain from it in return? I know it’s pretty common to see those dehydrated foods on the grocery store shelves and we widely use it for some of our special recipes. As what the term connotes, dehydration is the process to preserve food by simply extracting or removing moist from the foods. It is actually considered as the easiest and cheapest way to preserve food. Of course, it can’t be made possible to dehydrate them without the use of a food dehydrator. Of course, you can always use the old school in which they extract the moisture out from food by simply placing them under the heat of the sun but it does take time and water may not be removed completely from the food so it may be prone to bacteria still. I still prefer the use of food dehydrator and i believe many of us feel the same way.  Of course the quality is the first and most important factor that we have to consider in buying a food dehydrator for better results. Both of Excalibur dehydrators (the image shown above) and Nesco dehydrators are highly known for producing high quality results. Anyway, i think it is very ideal to have these electronic appliances at home.

You can start your own mastermind group but you have to work hard for it to make it grow more or better yet join an existing marketing mastermind groups in tampa which have been in the industry for a long time and was able to encourage huge amount of members today. Mastermind group can be in many forms and is not solely for business and marketing purposes only. It can be an organization that aims to give awareness or something like that.

Our Body is God’s Temple

Posted on February 4, 2012 by

One of the most important thing that all of us should consider than anything else would be our personal hygiene. Our body is considered as the temple of God and we have to take care of it and keep it away from any harm. We have to stop smoking because this will do nothing good to us but to give us more illness as we grow old. Same thing goes with the alcohol and drugs. God gave us this body not to abuse it from these harmful vises. We have to discipline ourselves and take care of our body as much as we can. Personal hygiene is very important to keep our body clean. Visit a spa to detoxify yourself from any harmful substances or elements or better yet ask for bath & body works coupons and try their wonderful and healthy skin care products. They got huge selection of high quality bathing and fragrance products  that will suit your need. Have a good sleep, balance your diet, keep yourself away from any sort of harmful vises, regular exercise and more. These are just few of the effective things you can do to take care of your body effectively.

Admiring His Inspiration

Posted on February 4, 2012 by

Time really run out so fast and it seems that it was just yesterday when i used to visit my Auntie on their house in our province. My auntie died last year because of Kidney failure. She’s been undergoing for Dialysis treatment for more than 10 years. I am really amazed how strong she is ans she managed to survive such a critical stage of her life. Believe it or not, she managed to raise her children well despite of her illness. My cousin was able to graduate in a Nursing school.
My cousin actually pursued a nursing career because he wishes to take care of her mom once he graduated. Unfortunately, her mom passed away but his dream to become a nurse is still there and he will do it for his mom. For those who are not familiar with Dialysis treatment, it is a process of removing waste and excess water from the blood. His mom had been dealing with a phlebotomist and other health care specialists in each and every sessions that she had. I’m not really sure but I think my cousin is planning to focus on such field to help those patients who are undergoing dialysis treatment like her mom. I am not sure what school did he goes but maybe it is as credible as the  nursing school san francisco in California. He is now a licensed nurse and is practicing his field professionally in a well known hospital here in our country. I am really proud of him.

Recipes with Twist

Posted on February 3, 2012 by

My late grandmother was really a great cook. She can put so many twists and turn a normal and “boring” recipe to a very inviting and appetizing dish. How i wish i can taste all her recipes again she’s now in heaven and there’s no way to have those wonderful dishes back. However, i am very thankful that i still have my mom who used to be a good cook as well. Though her dishes have  different approach unlike my grandma , it is till something you can never resist. Won’t you guys love those dishes with a twist? How about a Spicy Peanut Pasta? Does it sounds good for you? Well, i got used to eat pasta with tomato sauce or that white sauce for carbonara but I haven’t tried matching it with peanut. Sounds weird but exciting right? Actually, your dishes do not have to be very exotic. You can put some twist to eat by simple cooking them the other way around. Why not try to steam instead of deep frying or something like that, it will sure make a difference. Or , you can have weber grills at home to grill the meats without the need of going outside. I think that would make the meals more exciting and not so boring to eat. Anyway, I think i have to end this post now because i am drooling and craving now for a grilled fish… … and i can match it with a nice dipping sauce…. yum yum…

Being a “Wido”

Posted on January 29, 2012 by

Do you know what “wido” is? It is actually a term or a dialect here from my country which means a person with the ability to know the chords or notes of a certain song by just using his own intellect or instinct. Wido can play a certain piece even they just heard it once. They are talented people indeed and I think i can consider my cousin as one of these intellectual individuals who have such a nice gift of talent. My cousin is truly fascinated into music. He got his own guitar when he was just in high school. Since then, he started to show his ability to play those chords without asking anyone to help him. He taught himself how to do this and that until he became more skilled in using his guitar. It was the typical Gibson guitar as far as I know and then he switched to an electric guitar and eventually bought another instrument as he wanted to explore more about music.

PhotobucketHe Just got this brand new Bass Guitar which actually look different from a typical one. Interestingly, the bass guitar has 4 big strings only Photobucketwhich produces heavy and dark tones. He told me that base guitar is more of a background music to give more color or texture to a song. He’s really into music and now he also got a new keyboard and I am pretty amazed because he’s able to play it with no ease despite of the fact that he hasn’t undergone any training or course about it. He’s trying to make some experiment now and make his own recordings. I am not really sure if he will be using that tc electronic nova system to produce a higher quality sound but what i know is he try to combine all his recorded music into one track. He doesn’t have a drum set though but he told me that he’s actually aiming to buy one to complete his music set. He needs a huge space to occupy all his instruments too. Anyway, i don’t think i can be a “wido” like him (a weirdo maybe LOL) cause i think it is more of being a talent than being a skill that you can learn.

GMA’s Upcoming Shows for 2012

Posted on January 23, 2012 by

PhotobucketGMA Network has so many shows to offer this new year but nothing as special as “Amaya” or “Munting Heredera” this time but I am hoping that they would come up with such great story lines  to make their shows more interesting. “Legacy” just got started a week ago starring Heart Evangelista, Lovi Poe and Alessandra de Rossi. It is dubbed as the most alluring and glossy drama masterpiece in Philippine primetime. Though i know it is quite early for me to judge the show and i don’t know how the story will go yet, i’m just wishing that they will keep “Munting Heredera” as their standard to meet their viewer’s expectations. “Biritera” is also one of their primetime offerings starring Dennis Trillo, Glaiza De Castro and Angelika dela Cruz. It will also feature a new GMA talent as well. Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes will reprise their onscreen tandem through “My Beloved“. I’m not sure with the storyline yet but I am crossing my fingers right now that it has nothing to deal with vampires or else it might be another “twilight syndrome in the making”. GMA also has something to offer for their afternoon slots including “Hiram Na Puso” starring Kris Bernal and Mark Herras ; “The Good Daughter” with Rocco Naccino and Kylie Padilla ; “Broken Vow” starring Bianca King, Luis Alandy, Rochelle Pangilinan and Gabby Aigelman. “Daldalita” on the other hand will be replaced by “Alice Bungisngis and her Magic Walis” starring Bea Binene. I have never been satisfied with Daldalita so i am really happy that it will be replaced now by another show. Anyway, I think this is a good start for GMA. I am looking forward for better shows this year!

Childhood Memories

Posted on January 20, 2012 by

They said that if you want to grow up, then you better leave all your baggage behind but that doesn’t mean that you will burn the bridge between your childhood and your present life. I had a very wonderful and rich childhood memories and they’re not that easy to forget. I remember my childhood friends, those games that we used to play with, those toys that we all shared together and those days that we think nothing but to enjoy the rest of the weekends. I remember my mom used to buy us some set of Lego and toy soldiers but we used to destroy everything which sometimes pissed my mom off LOL. We  used to play Yo-Yo too though i am pretty bad to it.  Whether it’s an expensive or a cheap yo yo , i never had a chance to perform any tricks better than my playmates. I don’t know much of the tricks and I can hardly execute the “Walk the Dog” and “Around The World” tricks properly. (Sigh) Though, I know some of the basics including the “Sleeper” and “Loop the Loop” but i don’t think I can ever be as good as my cousin who can play almost every amazing yo-yo tricks including the “Chop Sticks” and “Eli Hops” which is a certified crowd pleaser. Oh well, those were the childhood memories that i really treasured and I guess I am too old to play such games again.
