Old age has finally caught me. I can’t wear stilletos anymore . I have several pairs of high-heeled shoes that’s hiding in the closet now. Before, I used to buy shoes that’s looking really pretty but not very comfortable. Now, I want comfort shoes. There’s one pair of casual shoes that I always turn to when I cannot figure out what to wear and just want to be comfortable – sandals by azalea. I super love it, in fact, I bought 2 pairs!

You heard about mbt shoes? These shoes are designed to simulate walking around barefoot in the sand, creating a more healthful step for you.

It has many benefits too. The MBT (Masai Barefoot Technology) built into the shoe encourages better posture, better muscle tone and more energy expenditure in everything from standing still to running full tilt. I want I want!

Here are the projects lined up for this 2010:

1. Project #1: Renovating the living room. Bought new tv stands and book cabinet 2 weeks ago. Looks good in the living room. There’s also a new carpet in the living room. The over all theme will be modern and comfy. Maybe next next month, I’ll buy a new sofa.

2. Project #2: Renovating the Bedroom. I want super soft pillows, new bed sheets and pillow sheets plus, a vanity table.

3. Project #3: Renovating the Kitchen. I want a set of Corelle dinnerwares! A set of Teflon cooking pans. 7 piece Lock & Lock food containers. A La Germania. Set of baking pans. And a sterilizing cabinet!

I need a dryer too!

Now I need to work extra hard to do all these, so help me God.

I bumped into an old friend in MOA last Saturday whom I haven’t seen her for years and I am so amazed to see her looking good as ever! I envy her. What’s surprising is that she used to be really really big back in college and it’s quite a surprise to see how fit she is right now, and really pretty too.

She tried different diet plans, just before she got married, but the one that worked for her is Herbalife drinks. I tried it too but I cannot force myself to like the chocolate protein drink so it didn’t work for me. I tried weight loss pills before and it’s really effective.

Right now, she’s maintaining her weight by limiting her carbo intake, and drinking fresh fruit juice each morning. And since I am such a “gaya-gaya“….I am buying a juicer today!!! Yeay!

This is what I love about working in a call center industry – they provide top-of-the-line health card for you and your dependents to compensate for any illness.

Just last week, my friend’s dad had undergone prostate surgery at St. Luke’s. The doctor’s fee plus the meds, and all other miscellaneous fees were quite expensive, it almost reached to 250K, but the medical insurance got everything covered. They only cashed out 62 pesos!

I know that some private companies don’t provide the same benefits.

Imagine yourself in the same situation, without any health card? Where in the world will you get that amount of money?! This is why medical insurance is important because if you and your dependents are not covered, the high cost of medical bills will be solely your responsibility.

If your company doesn’t provide a Medicare supplement for you, now is the best time to think about getting one for yourself and your family! There are many health care providers available on the internet. They offer different types of health benefit plans for you that will fit your needs and budget. Just one reminder, when choosing the right benefit plan, make sure you know your family’s health history first. If illness such as cancer, diabetes, hypertension etc. run in your family, it is important to make sure your insurance plan covers the following:

Check-up
Room
Doctor’s fee
Prescription drugs
Surgery

I say this often, let’s all be healthy and fabulous this 2010 and the years to come!

My swimming skills are very limited to a few butterfly strokes, floating and dog paddling. I thought if I knew how to, at least, float, I can avoid drowning myself but oh boy, I was sooo wrong.

It all happened last Jan16 at Pug-os beach in Cabugao Ilocos. I knew it! Even before jumping into the waters, I told my friends beforehand that the waves are kinda crazy, like it can eat you alive. I was hesitant to go on but for some reasons, I continued walking with them.

We stopped walking when the water was already high-waist, I guess. It was fun swimming through the waves at first. We were even talking about a certain Tsunami documentary I watched on Nat Geo several days back. I told my friends how scary it was, and then maybe a few seconds after I told them that, we were flushed out by a bigger wave. It pushed us  backwards to the sea…at first, I could still feel the sand and I still managed to walk a few steps….and then I saw my bestfriend struggling  so I grabbed her and we held hands for a few sec but we got separated when another wave came in…at that point, I almost panicked. Ok , I actually panicked. We were probably just a few feet away from each other but she seems too far. She was trying to swim while calling out for Carol, who was lucky to save herself faster than us.

Another wave came and it kept on pushing me back…until I can’t swim anymore. I had a moutful of seawater already so I dog-paddled to save myself. I struggled. I prayed and then, all sort of things came to my mind. You know, those flashback moments in black and white.

Yes, it’s like we’re filming a drama.

Lord, I don’t ever want to cause my loved ones any pain. I don’t wanna die this way. I don’t want a tragic death. Not now please.

I honestly felt super scared and lonely being left there alone. I can see my bff for 14years from afar struggling, Toni/Jeff cuddling each other on the other side, Carol’s already walking safely, Jadie and her bf were happily enjoying each other’s company by the shore while I was there in the middle, nearing death already. I was too arrogant that I did not even shout for help.

Good thing, Toni and Jeff saw me and ruthie, reached out for our hands and dragged us out of hell. All 4 of us walked out of the sea safely. Thank you Jeff and Toni, I will forever be indebted to you.

Typically, in situations like that, one would cry really hard. I tried to but I was too shocked that my tears wont even flow. It was really really scary. I remained silent there, and looked back at my life. I realized, I have been wasting too many hours trying to be perfect. Charing lang!!!

Seriously, I reflected on some lessons and I’d like to share with you guys:

1. Trust your instinct. Listen to your inner feelings when you get uncomfortable about a situation. If it doesn’t look good or safe, don’t go.

2. Pride wont save you. It’s ok to SHOUT for HELP once in a while.

3. Cherish the people around you, always.

4. Lastly, cherish your life.

This is my second chance at life and I promise to do really well. Hugs to you and hope we could still share lots and lots of happy memories together.

Almost everyone who uses a wireless router at home experience wireless disconnection once in a while. That’s because there’s Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) or wireless interference within the network.

Since most wireless routers have no rfi shielding that’s used as a protection to prevent EMI or RFI, the electromagnetic waves generated by other electronic devices you have may negatively affect the performance of your router. There are no solution to that, but you can reduce them by following these steps:

• If you have a cordless telephone system (or even your neighbors’), or other nearby equipment that’s running on 2.4Ghz, try to change your router’s channel to 1 or 11 (the default channel is 6) and restart the wireless computer.
• Try also chnaging the wireless settings of the router.
• Make sure you have the latest firmware installed on your router.
• Try to move the router to different locations to find a better link.
• The best place to put the router is as high off the ground as possible. When placing the router in a high location, leave a distance of two feet between the router antenna tips, ceiling, and wall. If your signal passes through multiple floors, place the router on the upper-most floor, and high up in the room.
• Keep the router away from large metal objects, bodies of water (fish tanks, bathrooms), and any electrical equipment including television sets, microwaves, radios, etc.

If nothing works, consider getting a new router. Hope this helps!

Whoooaaahh!!! Finally, I tried surfing for the first time at Sebay La Union! The same place where Jericho R. used to hang out and surf. It’s super fun! Been wanting to try it since I saw Robbie’s pictures several years back. It seems fun and easy.

Trying hard. Really.

Before jumping into the waters, the instructors gave us some tips about the proper way of standing up on a sufboard. I thought it was easy…but I was sooo wrong. I can’t even bring myself to stand up straight, much more to balance in waters.

My first attemp was epic fail. I fell, drank lots of water and got hurt but after a few more attempts, I managed to stand up with a freaking hilarious pose for 2 seconds! I know I failed big time, but it was my first time. I am more than eager to come back after I lose some weight. Guess it’s time to shed off some fats with diet, exercise and maybe with safe and effectivefat loss pills too.

Sebay, I’ll be back and try my luck next time. Yeaaay!

The NEW ME starring Adeng

This is my very talented cousin Betty La Perya whom I adore sooo much. Betty used to have a lot of break outs as you can see on that picture.

She has always been a flawless child, until one day, pimples started to sprout like mushrooms all over her pretty face. At first, I thought it’s caused by stress and school pressures, so I told her to quit studying hahaha. She told me it all began after usng an expired P*n*’s facial wash.

She’s tried diff soaps, cosulted diff dermatologists, tried adult acne treatment but nothing seems to work. But God is soo good to here haha. She really is blessed with a beautiful skin bec the last time I saw her, the pimples are gone and she’s as cutie as ever. Her face is shining! No scars at all. She thought “if P*n*’s cause the acne, it must also be the one to remove it.” So she tried the P*n*’s Age Mir**** Cream for 6 mos, and noticed the improvements in her face later on.

So the moral of the story is to never use P*nds I mean expired products. LOL
