Taking Natural Medicine

My daughter’s friend developed acne early in her teens and she’s worried that it might leave a permanent mark on her skin after sometime. As early as now I’ve been reading reviews and researched about the possible causes of acne. I believe that it’s partly hereditary with the kind of skin we have like my cousin who had it in her teens and up to when she’s working already. Her father had the same problem with his skin on the face. Some told me that it’s your cleaning habit and your exposure to some elements that can cause too much dirt on your face. There are many opinions and theories I have come to hear but what matters now is how this acne is being treated. Ruth is entering teens this year and if she will have problem on pimples or acne I will search for natural acne pills first before letting doctors prescribed her with medicines. Honestly I prefer my kids not to take any medicine on that not until they’re big grownups already.

Such a Dear Hubby

I’m super tired these days with house chores and with offline tasks that’s keep on pouring since last week. I’m having my time schedules set because I really need to discipline my working time against my house chores time. Anyway I’m used to multi-tasking job I had in the previous years and it served as some kind of training to me. I can wash clothes while washing dishes, cooking and checking my daughter’s composition assignment. I can do them all quick and easy as long as I have them properly scheduled and hubby is helping me on house tasks which lightens my workload and makes my heart soften to him. He's also good in massaging my back when I feel tired in front of my PC, he’s such a dear!

My Fiber Supplement

My friend and I were talking about the foods that we want to eat this coming summer season. As always I’m a fruit lover as I can eat minimum of three kinds a day but some didn’t know that I’m doing it for my fiber supplement. This is also the reason why I’m taking fruits with fibers like pineapple, papaya and other fruits rich in fibers, well most fruits are to say the least. I can’t last a day without it and if ever I was in a place where I can’t have my supply I see to it that I have canned pineapple to sustain my cravings and my fiber supplements just like having glucomannan in your diet ingredients.

I’m fond of reading health books and I’ve learned that we really need fiber in our daily intake of food so when I planned my diet it mostly consist of healthy foods. I don’t go for crash dieting so I just maintained my healthy meal plan though sometimes at least once a day I indulge to my cravings and I call it ‘pig out day’ and that’s when I’m with the whole family where we eat outside. I’m perfectly happy with my meal plans and hope it will gradually help me lose some pounds.

:TC - Old Equipment : My Father's Old Piano

Thursday Challenge

for fun and learning"OLD EQUIPMENT" (Cameras, Cars, Tools, Computers, Musical Instruments, Rusty, Antiques,...)

This one doesn't look old because it was restored by my brother 3 years ago. This is my father's grand old piano way back 1945. He didn't enroll in any piano lesson but he can play some songs in this piano. We have this since we're born but due to his early stroke when we were young we never had the money and time to enroll in piano class. My brother had his three kids enrolled in piano classes and instead of buying a new one he had this piano restored to working condition.

This is a classic Hampton piano and it took four men to carry it from our house to restoration place. They have to separate its pieces because it's too heavy and big and it's located in our upper floor. It took him around PhP30,000 to restore the physical look and the right notes of the keys. We're happy to see our father's old piano restored to its beauty as it's also part of my father's memories. He died 13 years ago.

Hair Loss Problem

I’ve seen my father and uncle’s hair slowly recedes in their hairline during their middle age and I came to guess that my brother will have the same problem with his hair. Now that he’s in his middle 40’s I can see some indication but still he managed it very well. Maybe his good eating habit and healthy lifestyle help a bit. I learned that hair loss is a hereditary thing and I’m thinking if my sister and I will have problems like that when we grow old. Anyway if I see some hint or indications of losing my hair I’ll consult specialists or read reviews about it because I know there are options. With the modern technology we have these days I wouldn’t be surprised at all if I heard some hair loss prevention measures or treatment available for those who suffer from hair loss. Prevention is better than a cure.

Meeting Up My Daily Quota

Whew I’m so tired and sleepy but I’ve got to go on working as I need to reach my daily quota of work or else I will not be able to deliver my tasks on time. Since weekend last Saturday when blessings poured out on my sites I divided the tasks in 6 days and started doing tasks with quota. Now if I didn’t reach my quota I will add that next day which will gonna be hard so I tried my best to reach the minimum tasks I have to do before resting. I need to implement discipline on myself so I wouldn’t be caught unprepared and reprimanded lol! Some companies are strict to the point that you have to finish all tasks assigned to you so you really have to finish them all on time. Anyway they’ve given me and my friends tons of tasks for this week and all I can say is ‘Thank You Lord’

Moisturize Your Skin

My Auntie gave me good moisturizers when she came home from New Jersey. Believe me it can moisturize even the driest of skin in just few days of using it. Sad thing about this is that when I run out of supply I can’t find the brand of the said moisturizer. I bought a product here with the same contents in the package but it’s not the same quality. Anyway I don’t actually need the strong one for my skin as my skin can withstand a day without anything on it. I just have to clean it with germicidal or baby soap and that’s it. I’m not prone to pimples or acne that’s why I just need to moisturize it to protect myself from excessive exposure to heat. I’m glad I don’t have to use some anti aging product right now though I’m not closing the possibility of having one later when I grow old. It’s not bad to protect and care for your skin as long as you don’t change it. Just my opinion!

The Butterfy Test

You Are Intense Yet Happy

You are a pretty tightly wound person. You can be extremely passionate and dedicated.
And while you definitely have a lot of intensity, you don't take yourself too seriously. You still have a good time.

Whoever first said "Work hard - play hard" was thinking of someone exactly like you. That's pretty much your personal motto.

You never do anything half way. You always go full force - whether you're working or having fun.

Elegant Leather Watch Bands

I love watches especially the leather ones because it’s more convenient to wear and simply elegant in look. I’m not the type who wants flashy things because it doesn’t fit my simple personality. When I was a child I always want to wear watches because I don’t want to be late for any school activity. Since I’m a sporty girl I don’t want watches with metal bands because I wasn’t comfortable wearing them. I like leather watches because they’re light and easy to wear. For a girl like me then comfort and style were the best criteria in choosing. Now that I’m older and have worn a dozen watches as I changed life, work and status I didn’t changed a lot.

Although I can wear anything from metal, plastic and leather bands watches I still want the kinds of my first watches. Yes I like leather Watch Bands up to now and I’m glad to find the site where they offer branded watch bands in very elegant designs and styles. I personally like the HIRSCH Viscount Louisiana Alligator which is 100m water-resistant and Leonardo Genius with light padding and a bit shiny. These leather watch bands are carefully made according to standards of quality and carefully handcrafted to produce stylish and quality watch bands. I really love these and they’re great gifts to our loved ones.

Ruth Passed TUMCS' Exam

Just called Ruth's prospect school for high school where she took an entrance exam last Saturday. I'm glad that she passed United Methodist Christian School exam and we'll be getting their letter for requirements and interview schedule. I know Ruth liked the school when she saw it yesterday and because it's a Christian school there would be less adjustments with her classmates and school regulations. I've thought about this thing seriously that's why I picked the school because I want Ruth to be comfortable with her classmates where most of them would be born-again christians also. The school has just increased their tuition fees and hubby was surprised with the total fees but I know we'll be able to adjust our finances, we just need to prioritize things and be smart in buying things. Anyway there are lots of blessings poured on my sites now and I'll save most for my kids' education.
