Craving for A Spa

With the work I had my body was being stressed out lately. It needs pampering and massage. And sad to say, I can’t afford to go to a spa just yet. Need to wait for my next salary to commence. However, last Sunday, I treated my feet for a foot spa. I observed how the salon cares for their equipments. They even have spa covers to keep their spa instruments away from dust and moisture. And with the foot spa comes with a free manicure and pedicure too. Really had my day bright and relaxed.

Taking My Time To Shop

Off I went to the department store the other day to buy some stuff for me. I was being careful in choosing what to buy since I know that I am one impulsive buyer. I don’t want to end up regretful for spending a lot on useless items. Still, even with few items I bought I still ended up paying more than a hundred bucks. Was trying to check it with the receipt and sad to say it was all clear since they used  epson receipt printer. Next time I guess I need to buy in bulk to save more with my purchases.

10 Tips on Career Advancement

In the work field, you’ll mingle with different types of people. Most often there may even be a clash of differences. But we can’t just please everybody. The important thing is, never to stoop down on someone else’s level and never ever step on someone. Here are some things to bear in mind to survive in your work place.

1. Don’t be afraid to say “I don’t know.” If you don’t know something, say so; don’t try to fake it.


2. Take responsibility for your actions. If you’re at fault, admit it and take the blame. If you’re wrong, apologize.


3. Never gossip. Gossip can hurt the careers of two people: the person being talked about, and the person doing the talking.


4. Never say “That’s not my job.” Don’t think you are above anything. Pitch in and set a good example, especially if the job is one that nobody else wants to do. Your willingness to do so will be noticed and appreciated!


5. Share the credit. People who share credit with others make a much better impression than those that take all the credit themselves.


6. Ask for help when you need it. Don’t let a difficult task get out of hand. When you need help, ask for it — before things get worse.


7. Keep your dislike to yourself. If you don’t like someone, don’t let it show. Never burn bridges or offend others as you move ahead in your career.


8. Don’t hold grudges. Life isn’t always fair. If you were passed over for promotion, didn’t get the project you wanted, etc., let it go. Be gracious and diplomatic, focus on the future and move on. Harboring grudges won’t advance your career.


9. Be humble. When you’re right, don’t gloat about it. Never say “I told you so!”


10. Make others feel important. Compliment others, emphasize their strengths and contributions, and help them whenever you can. They will enthusiastically help you in return.

Do not judge, or you too will be judged

What does the bible say about judging others? In Matthew 7:1, it says there, “Do not judge, or you too will be judged”. Jesus warns us about judging other people who commit mistake or sin when you yourself is also a sinner. As Christian believers, we are to confront the person who sinned in a tactful way and with respect in hope of bringing out the ultimate goal – repentance and change.

Most of us judge other people’s doings and even criticize and talked back against them. We love to talk about other people’s lives which boosts our ego criticizing other people, what a weak personality that is! A hypocritical and self-righteous judgments of others. And remember, if you criticize other people in front of the others, the latter will mostly do the same with you.

“For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.” – Matthew 7:2-5

Craving for Books

Who said I only crave for food? Nah. Just last time, I craved for books to read. I set aside some money for me to buy new clothes for myself. I strolled around the mall and went window shopping but found no clothes that interests me. And so before I headed home, I dropped by the bookstore and found numerous books in the shelf. It’s nice how the store managed their point of purchase displays. There are a lot of books I wanted to buy but only have to choose two. Too bad. And so I carefully choose which books to buy. Luckily, I was happy with my purchase.

Car Shop

Last night was the opening of another Honda store somewhere in Matina. Invitations were disseminated from where I worked and some colleagues and doctors went to the said event. Food was abundant and there were some demo of some models of their automobiles as well. I heard from someone that a staff was discussing about auto insurance quotes. Good thing there was, I thought. At least there are choices you can choose from.

Growing Old

Time flies so fast. And yet, there are still a lot of things I want to do in my life. As time goes on, things got too complicated and stressful. I guess this is how adult’s life is. Got to deal with it then. But then, with all these stressors in life, I think it adds up to looking stressed. I don’t want to have that kind of personality. I still want to look young and fresh. Seeing my premature wrinkles around my eyes and mouth as well as my quite saggy arms are already alarming to me. Been reading some muscle milk reviews, perhaps I do need one. Needs to moisturize often too. Hays, growing old is stressful.

Healing A Broken Heart

It’s a wonder how to heal a broken heart. Some people say go find a rebound. But does it really work? It’s amazing to know some people who heals their broken heart quickly while others seemed to find it hard to do so. Luckily, I stumbled upon this website of Dr. Phil and he got an article to help us heal our broken heart. Maybe this will be a good help.

  • In time, it is absolutely vital to put the pain behind you and move forward with your life and love. Otherwise, you are giving away your power to the people who hurt you.
  • Sometimes the relationship you need to rescue is the one with yourself. Moving past a breakup is about you, not your ex.
  • Don’t start thinking about being friends right away — if ever. You have to be your own friend first.
  • Grief is a process to go through, not a destination in which to wallow. In a process, you keep putting one foot in front of the other, and each little step is part of your healing.
  • Define your real intentions. Are you trying to move past the breakup, or are you hoping to get back with your ex? You won’t move on until you’ve accepted that the relationship is over.
  • Be careful about the language you use. When you use catastrophic terms like “nightmare,” “terrible,” and “horrible,” you’re bound to spend time dwelling on the negative. Focus on what you can do.
  • Sometimes you can’t get over being hurt until you know you’ve been heard. Give yourself permission to express your anger and sadness.
  • Don’t embarrass yourself or put yourself in a situation where you’ll look back and feel humiliated. Driving past your ex’s house, making dozens of phone calls or e-mailing non-stop is no way to let go of the past or come out with your head high.
  • Learn to trust again. Whenever you get involved in a relationship, you know there’s a risk. Don’t let a bad experience keep you from living your life to the fullest. You can go through life suspicious, or loving and laughing.

    How I Wish I Grow More

    There are times I admit to say, that I am insecure of my height. Especially when I see women with height. I mean they look more confident and beautiful with it. If only I got more height, I think I’d be more confident to look. I wonder if human growth hormone supplements can still help me with this problem. On the other note, it will be hard also for me to find a partner when I am taller. Don’t you think so? AS I observed, there a lot of cute guys that aren’t that tall. And so I think, being petite and average also have it’s advantage.

    Cleansing the Colon

    During my exposure in the endoscopy unit, I get to see the inside of our intestines through the scope the endoscopist uses to view. There I compared how the insides of our colon looked like when it’s clean and when it’s not. One of the preparations made to the patient before colonoscopy is colon cleansing and I heard various colon cleansing reviews online that might be suitable to give to our patients. You’ll see the difference when it’s clean.
