Big Transformation

While doing the laundry, my friend called and asked me to pay her a visit. It's been a couple of months since I last saw her because she went to Singapore to visit her sister who is now based there. Just the thought of finally seeing her again made me very excited already. Knowing also that she have something for me that she brought from Singapore made me even more excited. So after I prepared the food that I'm supposed to bring, I wasted no time and went straight to her home. Since she lived far from my place, it took me almost an hour to get there. I felt a bit tired when I get there because of the traffic plus the scorching heat of the sun, but that did not lessen my excitement of seeing her. And to my surprise, I saw my friend looking very different that I almost did not recognize her. She looked very sexy now and is so stunning. She lost so much weight already; thus, I was not able to stop myself from asking her what her secret is to achieve such body. She told me that her sister recommended the San Diego Weight Loss program that she too has been following for almost a year now. For that, I will also suggest it to my sister who's having the same weight issues she used to have. Anyway, we enjoyed talking that we lost track of time. I ended up going home very late already, but that's okay because I got to see my best friend and I have a new watch from her as a gift.

Weekend Movie Marathon

What an exciting day! Last Saturday morning, one of our neighbors invited us to go to her place to enjoy a long day movie marathon. She mentioned that she just purchased a new set of gadgets and wanted to show it to us. Since most of us are at home that day, we all agreed to go to her house. I was very excited because it's been a while already since I last watched a movie. We first dropped by at the nearest convenience store to buy some chips that we can binge on while watching. After which, we went straight to their entertainment room and wasted no time because we planned on watching three recent films. Since it took us more than 4 hours to finish the second DVD, we paused for a short break to have lunch. And guess what, she also prepared a sumptuous meal for all of us. When the hearty lunch was over, we went back to play the last movie before calling it a day. The third one was not like the first two movies because it was very light. It featured a very scenic and beautiful place that we can't help but wondered where the place was. Because of curiosity, I immediately searched the internet to know more about the place and learned that it was shot in Morocco. I continued browsing and came across a website that featured cheap Apartment Tangier, a beautiful place in North Africa. Since most of us love to travel for leisure, we discussed the possibility of our future trip there. It may not be that soon though since we still have to do a little cost cutting to raise money for the said trip. Just the thought of it made all of us very excited.

Time to Give Back

It's time to do our share. Two weeks ago, I got a surprise call from a former college friend who I haven't heard for quite some time now. Since I was away for a short vacation, he just left a message to call him when I have time. So when I got back home, I immediately returned the call. Guess what, he invited me to participate in a community service that they are going to do the next weekend. He told me that he still remembered the time when I was very active in community extension programs way back in college. Thus, he took the chance of giving me a call hoping I would say yes to his invitation. He explained that they need every helping hand they can get to make the activity a success. After checking on my schedule, I accepted the invitation without any hesitation since this is my little way of giving back to the community; to share my time in any way I can. We agreed that he would pick me up at my place on that said day. On our way to the venue after picking me up, he explained that we are going to do tree planting. He also told me not to worry because he already prepared all the necessary tools needed for the activity. Actually, this is spearheaded by a friend of his who happen to be one of the California dog bite lawyers in the states. Although they are both busy in their chosen fields of endeavor, they managed to spend time on charity works to increase people's awareness on the environment. It was a very long tiring day for us but it was all worth the dirt and sweat. I went home very exhausted, but very satisfied as well. Thanks to my old friend who gave me that one of a kind experience.

Summer Team Building

Excited for an upcoming event. My best friend along with his officemates will have their quarterly team building and summer outing in my hometown. Thus I made the resort reservations and coordinated with various sectors for their itinerary, while he on the other hand was tasked by his supervisor to organize and prepare all the activities. The preparation was not that hard anymore since I always do event coordination like these. Because this was his first time to lead the group, I assured him that all the details of the event will be properly taken care of; from the place where the team would stay down to the food and beverages. For sure this activity will not only strengthen their bonding as a team, but will be a fun-packed adventure as well since games will also be included. Of course, prizes for the winning team will be given. Not only that, pre-arranged activities are also lined-up for the night to maximize their stay. Thus when the most awaited day arrived, they are all set to go - packed their things, boarded the van and headed up south. On their way to the destination, they were worried to see quite a number of men in uniform marching on the road. They thought something untoward happened. I forgot to inform them that they'll pass by a Military School in one of the towns here. They are celebrating their anniversary that day; hence a special presentation of their trainees was part of their activities. They stopped by to witness it; so as expected, they arrived at the resort late. However, they said their experience is worth the delay.

Bonding Time With My Friends

My usual routine. Every afternoon, I and two of my friends often go to this certain fast-food chain near the school to have snacks while waiting for my daughter. We have been doing this for the past weeks now because they have this promotional offer every time you buy a certain meal. You can avail of a specially designed glass at an additional cost of course, but very minimal.  The three of us intended to collect all the colors; thus, we diligently go there almost every day. But last Friday was a different story because instead of going back to that same venue, we agreed to go somewhere else and try something different. So we decided to go to the mall to look for a place to eat. We ended up eating in a restaurant where there's only a handful of people inside so we can have our privacy. While waiting for our food to be served, I noticed two middle-aged ladies settled in the table next to us. We overheard one of them asking her companion about where she can get professional Teen Help for her daughter since she tends to become rebellious at an early age. It is sad to think that being a parent is a very challenging responsibility. Good thing I only have one kid to raise and giving her full time and attention is not a problem at all. As we left the restaurant, we had a heavy heart as we felt the lady's situation.

Whistle-blower Body Shape

Do you envy girls with almost perfect body shape? Having a whistle-blowing curve is every woman's dream. It makes her look and feel sexier; thus, makes her more comfortable of her body. This also helps her exude confidence.  There are many ways to improve a woman's body contour and these include exercise along with proper diet. Before I used to be very slender, but now it is the exact opposite. After a couple of months in Singapore, I gained several pounds of weight. My problem areas are abdomen, waist, hips and thighs, chin, upper arms, and armpits. I find it disgusting every time I look at myself at the mirror. At first I thought, this will eventually go away now that I'm back in the Philippines. But sad to say, it never did and that made me very conscious to the point of experiencing loss of sense worth. No matter how hard I exercise and how strict my diet is, still it is not enough. Mother Nature needs a little nudge in the right direction. Because I am already very desperate, there were instances when I almost considered liposuction as an option. While searching the net for solutions to my problem, I came across San Diego Liposuction. Several testimonials say this is the best decision to make; however, I'm also quite hesitant since this involves general anesthesia. Thus, I need to talk to professionals first for a careful evaluation before undergoing the procedure. I'm just crossing my fingers, but I'm giving myself 1 month only to gain my figure back. If not, come what may.

Unexpected Call

I was taking a nap when my phone rang continuously. I received a call from my best friend inviting me to attend to his parents' renewal of vows.  I got so excited because I've been very close to the family since grade school; in fact I often visit their place during the weekends.  The mere thought of attending a special occasion of two beautiful people celebrating a momentous event of their lives makes me very excited. Thus when I learned that my neighbor is scheduled for a trip to Hong Kong next week, I asked her a favor to look for the perfect 50th wedding anniversary gifts. I wanted to have something unique yet relevant; hence, I told her to seek suggestions from their tour guide. I'm pretty sure that specialty stores that offer tokens for all occasions are swarming all over the place. To add a personal touch to it, I asked her to have their names engraved on it as well as their wedding date. Since this is something that can be displayed on a shelf, this will remind them of how long they've been together and how strong the relationship has become over the years. I can't wait to attend the said merrymaking since I know a smile would surely be noticeable on their faces.

Life's Perspective

It's a matter of how you look at life. If you know how to accept things the way they are and allow God to lead you to the right path; then you won't have to think of ways to solve your problems. He will do it for you as long as you believe in Him. This is what I've learned after having stayed in Singapore for more than 2 months. Before, I used to ask God to allow me to go to a foreign land for a greener pasture. Every time I pray, I always include this in my prayer. But what I noticed is that the more you keep on asking for something, the more it won't happen. He wants us to be concerned of today and not of tomorrow. Everything has been planned even before we were born; thus, allow God to do things according to His timetable. Same as getting anxious about birthday preparations. You do not have to be worried as to how to accommodate your guests or what unique 50th birthday gifts to give. Do not think of things that are beyond your capacity. Let God do the thing, anyways he is the overall master.

Savoring Online Business Opportunities

After having enjoyed the fruits of labor from one of my sites, I talked with my cousin about the idea of creating another website. This time, I want to choose something that is in line with my passion. Since the new generations are fond of fashion, I decided to be associated with accessories, trendy outfits, and chic gears. Aside from the latest craze, I also have a strong liking on party favors and other special occasion-related stuffs. In fact, at present I have a booking for birthday that requires invitation card-making and souvenir production. I just can't explain the feeling I get every time I create something that is customized for each client. The fact that you've come up with unique ideas as 65th birthday gifts for dad or as token for your baby's christening; this alone I consider a talent. Of course in order for people to learn about the products and services, I need to do some sort of marketing. Online selling is a very popular method of getting customers; thus, it is important to advertise by displaying finished products. Currently, I am taking several pictures of it so that I can upload them later on. I just hope this new business venture will be a hit not just to the youth, but to the general public as well.
