my bed =)

.
I LOVE BEDS! I truly do! If there’s one thing I’m willing to spend on, it would be in buying beds, mattress and gorgeous beddings. The photos above are pictures of my Princess Daybed, pretty huh? =) I had it painted in white with pink accents. The beddings are of course pink, as well as most of my stuff toys. Though I love this bed of mine, I long for wooden beds. They seem so sturdy and long-lasting, and they exude that classy mature style that I’m favoring now. One type I really like is the pine beds. Whether finished in dark or light, pine beds look sturdy and classy at the same time.

my dream machine ;-)

I’m addicted to popcorn, cotton candy, fish balls, scramble and all those “banned” childhood street food. I have happy memories of eating them despite being branded by my parents as “dirty” and “bawal”. Who cares, I’m a child with no vision of what it could really do! Hehe! Anyhoo, I stumbled on this site that sells these cool popcorn machines! So cute to look at! I’d buy this in a flash but its high price prevents me. It sells for a freakin’ $680!! Definitely could not afford it!! LOL! o_O Anyway, this popcorn machine has a 6oz. E-Z Kleen stainless steel kettle, a heating deck, tempered glass windows and a removable kettle for easy cleaning. Pretty good stuff, even yummy - just expensive =) LOL

some progesterone facts

Progesterone is a steroid hormone involved in the female menstrual cycle, pregnancy (supports gestation) and embryogenesis of humans and other species. The use of progesterone and its analogues have many medical applications -- both to address acute situations, and to address the long-term decline of natural progesterone levels. Because of the poor bioavailability of progesterone when taken orally, many synthetic progestins have been designed. Progesterone is poorly absorbed by oral ingestion unless micronised and in oil, or with fatty foods; it does not dissolve in water. Progesterone can be given by injection, but because it has a short half-life they need to be daily. Implants, for a longer period, are also available.

wazzup guys?? =)

I’m back!!! In case you’re wondering where I’ve been, let’s just say I toured Visayas down to Mindanao in 9 days. Air, sea and lots of land travel were involved. Thank god, Papa was the one driving, hehe! You can view my latest travel escapade HERE. And before I forget, gotta finish all my online tasks (more dollars, yey!) including in the one about tsa locks. That’s a type of luggage lock that I sorely need to secure my bags while traveling.

time to detoxify!

There are many colon cleanser formulas out in the market now, and it's really up to you (or your doctor) on what to choose. These products help our body get rid of the accumulated waste and undigested matter in our intestines. Removing the wastes will prevent toxins from being absorbed by the body. Potential benefits include less bloating and an overall trimmer silhouette. I have been interested about body detox ever since I read about the high incidence of colon cancer in persons with low-fiber, high-meat diet. I told myself that I need to detoxify my body then start eating right. But so far I’ve done nothing -- must get on with it and cleanse my colon right now! Hayy..

insurance talk

When I was still working in a private hospital, I’d often come across patients who are relatively well-off but due to the chronic course of their disease, they eventually had a hard time paying off hospital bills. The problem? They didn’t have any insurance, HEALTH or any insurance for that matter. How about you, do you have one? Other insurance you should get are life and home insurance. You wouldn't want your home to burn to the ground without receiving some compensation right?? O_o

decorating Papa's office

The basement is nearly finished and Papa’s “office” is looking quite beautiful with its wood cabinets and ceiling accents. Not to mention one wall segment just contains windows – the room is awash with sunlight! Nice! =) So now that construction is nearly over, it’s time to shop for office furniture! Of course, the furniture should be made of wood to match the office, and it should look manly and imposing to fit Papa. But for his chairs, I think he should go for leather office chairs for the luxury and oomph factor. Hehe! =)

high-class drug rehab

.
Looks beautiful and relaxing huh? That’s in Malibu baby! But that ain’t a resort or a luxury hotel. Would you believe that it’s a drug rehabilitation center?? Yes, boys and girls, that’s a rehab center named Sunset Malibu. The center consists of a residential drug and alcohol rehab hubs, and an extended care facility for adults suffering from alcoholism, drug addiction, eating disorders, depression, and other co-occurring disorders. Along with these, patients are also given gourmet meals, laundry service, transportation, scheduling of appointments, Internet access and special requests (where appropriate). Wow! A rehab center that sounds more and more like a hotel, lol! Me thinks Lindsay Lohan and other celebrities with addiction stay in drug treatment centers like these. Admitting yourself in a place as beautiful as this is definitely conducive to the healing process. So, if ever you’re looking for a drug treatment center in Malibu, look no farther – Sunset Malibu has everything you need and more!

time to exercise!

One of my resolutions for the year 2008 is to exercise. I plan to do jumping rope in the morning and jogging in the afternoon (maybe even use exercise equipment like treadmill and ellipticals). I really hope I'd stick to it. My metabolism is already slowing down (I'm 26!!!) and it doesn't help that my physical activity is just limited to house work and playing with our dogs. For most part of the day I'm just sitting in front of the PC. Yikes!

cheap Cisco products here!

We Pinoys are fond of pre-owned things (clothes, bags, shoes, etc) that we can buy for a lesser price than the brand new ones. And would you believe that even pre-owned IT products are being sold online?? Introducing Sapia Net! The company buys, sells, and trades IT networking hardware equipment. New, used, and refurbished routers, switches, and other equipment from Cisco Systems are being sold at prices 50% to 90% off their list price! Imagine that, used Cisco products for sale! I wonder what Cisco will say when they find out their products are being refurbished and sold again, lol! And get this, Sapia Net even offers 1-year warranty for their used products. Nice one eh??

film talk =)

I love to watch foreign language films (and at the jologs level, koreanovelas and such, hehe) and my favorite are French films. There's just something with their lilting way of speech.. Music to my ears! No matter if I can barely understand the characters' conversations. Hehe! My major requirement for watching a foreign film then is that it should be dubbed in English or at least, have video captioning. Though the latter is quite distracting and takes my eyes off the movie and unto reading. Tsk!

general acne treatment guide

There are many products sold as acne treatment. Generally speaking successful treatments give little improvement within the first week or two; and then the acne decreases over approximately 3 months, after which the improvement starts to flatten out. Many treatments that promise big improvements within 2 weeks are likely to be largely disappointing. Exception of this is cortisone which can give very quick results.

In general, acne treatments are believed to work in at least 4 different ways [with many of the best treatments providing multiple simultaneous effects] - a.) normalising shedding into the pore to prevent blockage, b.) killing causative bacteria, c.) antinflammatory effects, and d.) hormonal manipulation.
