thanks and sorry

Thanks everyone for the get well soon wishes and sorry Lena for the MIA act I pulled on you. I didn’t mean to but we’ll connect soon. I promise. I’m almost there and I have to say that recovery is tough especially when you still have a small child who depends on you every single day. Life has to go on. I’m taking care of myself more now–eating right, exercising enough but not to the point of too mush pressure or exertion as stress is what I want to do without these days.

Stress, imagine how much it can ruin your life. Stress can kill you. It can lead to many life-threatening diseases and disorders. That’s why I want to take it easy for the rest of my life. They say we need a little bit of stress in life but I don’t want one tiny bit.

gone a long time

123gfas — Mon, 03 May 2010 07:28:14 +0000

I know, I’ve been gone a long time and there’s just one word to explain the absence…it’s Depression. Depression sucks when it stares at you everytime you see yourself in the mirror especially when one eye does not shut properly or when your smile is a bit crooked or half your face does not register any reaction at all. Yes, I’ve been hit with Bell’s Palsy for the third time in the last four years and this last one really made its presence felt. Anyone who knows my face very well can literally see the difference this condition has left me. The effects totally zapped my confidence that I didn’t want to see anyone, talk to anyone or see anyone. All I wanted to do was hide. So that explains it but I realized that I can’t let that get the better of me so here I am again, a bit different-looking but just the same nonetheless.

And no, don’t ask for recent photos as I hate being photographed more than ever.

i need a new pair

123gfas — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 06:32:43 +0000

I’ve noticed that my eyes get tired easily especially when I’m in front of the computer and even from watching from too much television. I guess too much of everything is bad. Well, my eyes tend to dry and become red after just an hour of watching. I think it’s high time I get my eyes checked again before this condition worsens. And if the eye doctor advises me to upgrade my eye glasses, I won’t hesitate to follow and change them since I can always get an affordable pair of eye wear from Zenni Optical. I’ve been getting my eye glasses from Zenni ever since I discovered what great deals they offer their clients. Great eyeglasses for less are always available with Zenni. Another great thing about Zennis is their variable dimension frames that can fit anyone’s face snugly and perfectly. But of course, I still advise everyone to take care of their eyes by taking vitamins that are good for the eyesight, sleeping and resting your eyes nightly and generally avoiding anything that can damage your eyes. Even if I do wear eye glasses, I still take care of my eyes. Anyway, I’m off to my eye doctor again next week.

blog about baseball

More and more people are getting into blogging these days. Aside from joining social networking sites, people are discovering the fun side of blogging. I’ve had this blog for over a year now and it has been one productive and fun year of blogging about anything and everything. A blog is your personal space. It’s not something someone can edit because you’ve written something foul. This is my personal space so I’m free to write whatever I want. I have also met some wonderful people in the blogosphere and have established friendship with them even offline. I think, by far, that making friends with fellow bloggers is the best that has happened to me online. Reading about their personal lives and anything that they willingly share are what I look forward to each day. It’s like stalking but you have the permission of the owner. Unlike with social networking sites, blogs tend to be longer and more “complete” accounts of your day to day activities. Doing the blog rounds also helps me discover other good blogs. And just recently, I came across Aaron Breslow’s blog. And I found out that he’s actually a pro when it comes to blogging and networking.

Aaron Breslow has several blogs which he developed over the course of several years. They’re mainly about baseball so I guess that is his passion. You can get many tips and news about baseball. If it’s baseball you like, Aaron Breslow is the guy to turn to, most definitely. Visit Aaron Breslow’s blog and leave a comment while you’re there. Aaron Breslow encourages his readers to participate in the blog by submitting their comments.

game of chance

123gfas — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 02:21:10 +0000

I used to go to the casinos a lot. My friend and I would spend the night there and just play with slot machines. Our money was not enough to play at one of the tables that normally would require a minimum. So we were happy and content just playing slots. I actually won twice there. My friend was luckier as she won the top prize twice in one year. She paid all her debts, had her car repaired, bought her son a cell phone and used the rest of the money to play again and lost it all. I guess she was not that wise about handling such a huge of money at that time. We both stopped going to the casino after that because it was kind of addicting. Last I heard, she plays slot machines rvm online. I haven’t tried it though. I don’t know if it’s as much fun as the slot machines we used to play. I might give it a go one day. But right now, I’m full to the brink with work and family. I don’t have time for anything else. Perhaps when my kid’s school is out, I would have more free time.

do you believe in karma

123gfas — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 03:53:26 +0000

Do you believe in karma? I do and I sometimes don’t especially when I see children going hungry because their parents can’t provide food or when they’re trapped in a middle of war. What did those children do to get a punishment as harsh as hunger and war. And yet when I see dirty politicians using their country’s money for personal gain and they to live too comfortable lives, where is karma there? Or is it reincarnation working here? Those children are actually goons and good for nothing individuals in their past lives. I really don’t know. It really makes you think that this life is really not the be-all and end-all of everything. That perhaps, there is an afterlife. That this life in which we are now trying to live and lead is just a testing ground for better or worse things. It all depends on how you live your life today and God gets to judge your life. What do you think?

i’ve been lax

123gfas — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 06:59:08 +0000

I’ve been lax particularly with my diet and eating habits. For the past how many days, I’ve been eating all types of fatty food coupled with cans of soda and more than my regular intake of coffee daily. No wonder I’m having headaches and my sinusitis is again acting up. So starting tomorrow, I’ll be watching what I eat. What does it mean? No more carbohydrates overload, no more rice and white bread, no more sodas and no more fatty food. I might go back to my usual diet of wheat bread and tuna until my headache is gone. It’s really different when you’re older. Anything bad you do appears or manifests itself instantly on the way you feel and the way you look. If only I could undergo lap band houston, I would probably be eating less now. Going back to my theory of manifesting itself instantly, I slept late two nights ago and two pimples sprouted on my cheeks the very next morning. This never happened when I was younger. No matter how many consecutive nights I slept late, I never had a single pimple. I thought pimple is common with adolescents. I’m near forty, why do I still get pimples?

biking

123gfas — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 02:49:55 +0000

More and more people are into biking these days. One of the major transportation in Manila even dedicates a spot for bikers to ride and carry their bikes with them. I don’t know if people are starting to be conscious about their health as biking is a great form of exercise or if they are concerned about the environment. As we all know, bikes don’t have engines or don’t use gasoline so there is practically no carbon emissions to worry about. So it’s good for the body and it’s good for the environment. Perhaps I should take up biking as well.

But I don’t know the first thing about bikes. What I really like is a motorbike. It’s still environment friendly compared to larger vehicles plus it’s cheaper. You can even upgrade these babies with accessories from Bikers Choice. There are so many add-ons available to enhance the performance of your motorcycles. Perhaps I should get a motorcycle for my son instead of a car. What do you think? Besides, my budget can only buy a motorcycle for now. He could join one of the many motorcycle clubs and plan trips out of town. What am I saying? I don’t even allow my son to do sleepovers.

need to lose weight again

123gfas — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 08:12:31 +0000

After the holidays, I’ve gained about ten pounds from the endless parties, dinners and lunches. Only very lucky people would not gain from last year’s festivities and I’m not one of those lucky people. But unlike for many who have started embarking on a weight loss program the moment we entered 2010, I have yet to begin mine. Actually, I have eaten all the leftovers and have eaten some more even after the holidays. Do you get the picture? I stopped going to the gym and I haven’t worn my running shoes for a month now. It’s so hard to lose weight. It’s equally hard to go back to your fitness routine.

Believe me when I say that I’ve tried every diet there is. I’ve tried every type of exercise one could find. Yet it’s so frustrating when after all the hard work and sacrifice, you only lose a pound. So who wouldn’t be disheartened? I think I’ll be forever chubby. A friend suggested lap-band cincinnati. She lost a lot of weight because of this procedure. I’m seriously considering doing the procedure myself if it means being healthier. What about you? Are you having a hard time losing the excess pounds? Or are you one of those people blessed with slim genes.

what video? what photo?

123gfas — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 03:27:18 +0000

I’m that person who takes her camera everywhere or has her camera ready all the time. And then finds herself taking 2 to 0 pictures because she’s too busy thinking of unimportant things or just plain busy having fun or just simply preoccupied to be bothered with getting her camera up to her face and start snapping. Lucky for me, my little girl reminds me that I need to take photos of her every time she does something cute. And she does cute and adorable things all the time. And snap away I do each time I’m with her.

Anyway, it’s much like when I want to download a Video on Rapidshare. I go to the site. I look around and I would totally forget why I visited the site in the first place. But after awhile, I would remember and in the end, I would still manage to download the original video I wanted. It’s a crazy habit of mine. It seems to go very well with old age. Does the same thing happen to you? Or is it only me? Am I a candidate for Alzheimer’s? This forgetfulness is chronic and may even be contagious as my son seems extremely forgetful these past few days. Well, that’s another post. For now, I need to remember what to do next.
