I like games a lot!

LifeStyle, daily ramblings No Comments »

i-like-games-a-lotAs far as I can remember, I have written in my previous post that I like games a lot. I downloaded several games that I showed to my siblings upon my arrival at home. They love it a lot. And gladly, it shuts them even for a short period of time especially my noisy brothers. It makes them busy and it gives peace to our ever dearest noisy home, just joking. Good thing hubby and I rented a pad to stay for the night. Here, we can get the silence that is not present at home. And we can enjoy anything we want to do including playing games and a bit of casinos.

But tonight one of hubby’s friends is coming for a visit. He is a long time friend back in college. In preparation hubby is planning to show him several online casinos sites. He specifically requested for this and other games so they can play together just like the old times. Aside from casino online and other games, he asked for a copy of downloaded movies. He even said that he will bring blank cds.

Where will I go during this time? Hubby said that I should stay at my parents’ house for the whole duration. And he will just pick me up when his friend goes home. I just hope that they will not take long.

avoid inconvenience

business ideas, information, thoughts and ideas No Comments »

avoid-inconvenienceLike I said before, life insurance is very important to avoid inconvenience when unexpected things happen. With so many insurance companies it is difficult to figure out which has the favorable features, like price, term and coverage. But, it would not be that way when checking life insurance online. Here, the list will give the convenience of comparing prices of different insurance companies available.

The person checking for the prices will not only get the quotation but other information as well. We all know that having too many insurance premiums, some vital information is left out unnoticed which can make a difference in the future. Using the web can give that vital information without the hassle of going anywhere.

invitation with new social network

LifeStyle, daily ramblings, information, thoughts and ideas No Comments »

invitation-with-new-social-networkOne of my friends emailed me inviting to join a social network site that she is a member of. Well, I am not really interested in already famous social sites. But, I think it’s a good way to connect with long time friends who are also a member of the site. I tried looking for other social network, specifically the new one. I found Acobay which is still in its beta stage and very fresh. But expect that new features are applied day by day.

I tried applying because for the first time, I become interested. I used to envy my partner because he is the third member of the very famous social network of today. He signed up the very first time it is launched in the web. But, sadly I am not in the first 10th person that signed up in Acobay.

The sites concept is unique from other social networks since members can specify the category they want to become a member. Mine is on Pet network category as I like pets a lot. But, my other option is on Movie network because I am also a movie fanatic as well. However, pet weighs heavier than movie, so I choose pets to be my category. Another thing is that I can share my thoughts in their discussion. I think it’s really a good start for this new network.

Letters from “TEDDY”

uplifting stories 1 Comment »

letters-from-teddyJean Thompson stood in front of her fifth-grade class on the very first day of school in the fall and told the children a lie. Like most teachers, she looked at her pupils and said that she loved each of them the same, that she would treat them all alike.

And that was impossible because there in front of her, slumped in his seat on the third row, was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. Mrs. Thompson had watched Teddy the year before and noticed he didn’t play well with the other children, that his clothes were unkempt and that he constantly needed a bath. And Teddy was unpleasant. It got to the point during the first few months that she would actually take delight in marking his papers with a broad red pen, making bold X’s and then highlighting the “F” at the top of the paper biggest of all.

Because Teddy was a sullen little boy, no one else seemed to enjoy him, either. At the school where Mrs. Thompson taught, she was required to review each child’s records and delayed Teddy’s until last. When she opened his file, she found a surprise. His first-grade teacher had written, “Teddy is a bright, inquisitive child with a ready laugh. He does his work neatly and has good manners. He is a joy to be around.”

His second-grade teacher had penned, “Teddy is an excellent student, well-liked by all his classmates, but he is troubled because his mother has a terminal illness and life at home must be a struggle.”

His third-grade teacher had noted, “Teddy continues to work hard but his mother’s death has been hard on him. He tries to do his best but his father doesn’t show much interest and his home life will soon affect him if some steps aren’t taken.”

Teddy’s fourth-grade teacher had commented, “Teddy is withdrawn and doesn’t show much interest in school. He doesn’t have many friends and often falls asleep in class. He is tardy and could become a more serious problem.”

By now Mrs. Thompson realized the extent of the problem, but Christmas was coming fast. It was all she could do, with the school play and all, until the day before the holidays began and she was suddenly forced to focus again on Teddy Stoddard. Her children brought her presents, all in beautiful ribbon and bright paper, except Teddy’s, which was clumsily wrapped in the heavy, brown paper of a scissored grocery bag.

new eyeglasses for them

thoughts and ideas 3 Comments »

new-eyeglasses-for-themMom and dad could no longer see without the help of eyeglasses. It actually started when they hit the age of 40. Now they are relying to eye glasses to read and see things clearly. Without it, I doubt that they can do anything right.

Well, I am planning to give them a new one now. As far as I can remember, it was three years when I last gave each one of them a nice eyeglass. I think this time is the perfect time because I saw an ad saying High-indexed Prescription Eyeglasses On Sale. I love sale especially if the products are really good and not just old stocks. And it turned out that all of the glasses sold are really nice and good looking. I even want one for me as I am starting to see blur things. But, I still have to go to the doctor to have my eyes check first.

Well, I still have to call my mom for the lenses. I don’t know if their lenses are still the same. And if they are using the same lens, I would probably forget it. Three years is a long time to remember that stuff. I am pretty sure that if they hear that I will buy them one, they will be very happy and excited about it.

difficulty in trimming down

LifeStyle, thoughts and ideas No Comments »

DietSome of you may already know that I am in the process of trimming down weight. Now that I hit the age of adulthood, I am really facing difficulty in this process. Not like my teenage years were I can shed pound in an instant. I have read so many articles that indeed most women at my age will start to gain weight as there are not much activities in their everyday life. True enough, so I guess I will have to do something about it. I am checking a diet pill called Fenphedra. If there is a fast possible way to lose weight, then why not take advantage of it? As of now, however, I am still reading its reviews all over the web. I always want to check on this first before committing.

Meditation, alternative solution for Headache

LifeStyle, healthy tips, information 1 Comment »

meditation-alternative-solution-for-headacheWe all know that headache is one of the most common problems for us. In fact, studies have estimated that about 90 percent of men and 95 percent of women have at least one unprovoked headache each year. Migraine headaches are distinguished from the more common tension-type headache by their throbbing component often associated with nausea and visual disturbances. Despite their prevalence, the cause of migraines is not well understood.

You can use your headache as a “canary in the mine shaft.” Ask yourself, “What aspects of my life need some attention?” and make the necessary shifts. Look at your sleeping patterns, look at your diet, look at your work environment, and look at your core relationships. Make the commitment to eliminate what is not nourishing you and bring in more of what will. If you are not already meditating, learn to quiet your mind and settle your body, to raise your threshold of reactivity to stressful events in your life. Be certain to get enough rest and try to stay on a regular daily routine (early to bed, early to rise) even on the weekends.

About one-quarter of migraine patients, foods can provoke a headache. The most common foods that have been associated with migraines include alcohol, aged cheeses, chocolate, cured meats, monosodium glutamate (MSG) and caffeine. A common cause of migraines is due to caffeine withdrawal in someone who drinks coffee daily and then goes for a day without the caffeine dose.
