The Planned Outing

admin — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 14:34:59 +0000

Just two weeks ago, my friends at work and I were planning to have weekend vacation at Surigao where the enchanted river is located. We heard how beautiful that river is and I think it is a must visit. Unfortunately the package for that trip this weekend is kind of expensive. It could have been affordable like the Branson vacation packages. But it is very unfortunate that it isn’t Branson package. Hopefully there will be a next cheaper package for that getaway.

Comfortable Beddings

The retreat last week left me with amazement from the location, the food, the church, the chants and the monks. The simplicity of everything made it beautiful holistically. I love how they keep everything so simple. Even our rooms were ordinary with matouk like bedding that keeps me comfortable in my sleep. True enough, as what our retreat master has enlightened us, when things get complicated…just keep it simple.

My Godmother Is Offering Me A Life Insurance

It could have been better if she was offering it to me for free. That I would gladly accept. But the thing is, I couldn’t afford it yet if we talk about my earnings. And so I have to decline that offer. Other thing is, I think medical insurance and disability insurance are more important than the former. I could get to take life insurance if I get the chance to work abroad. But for now, medical is more significant.

Longing For A Vacation Leave

Being a reliever entitles you to lesser benefits in the work field. You are more bombarded with workload and yet you have little compensation for it. At times, you feel like getting a leave of absence from work but thinks otherwise because it would affect your performance and evaluation. I’m longing for a vacation leave soon. I think I really needed it badly. I think I need to go on a Branson vacations one of these days. Needs to replenish and detoxify so I could perform well in my job.

Bedding’s Allergy

admin — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 11:06:08 +0000

For sometime now, I noticed how I have skin itchiness frequently. Thought it was due to my soap that causes drying of the skin. Even thought that perhaps the work area I’m in is full of bacteria that makes my skin reactive to it. There’s also a hint that it may be caused to allergy bedding. I remembered that one cause of allergy bedding is due to the presence of bed mites on it. Will try to change my beddings often and see if there’s still itchiness felt.

Brisk Walking

Is brisk walking considered to be one of the fat burners? Maybe on a little note, but still it helps get you sweat, right? We are constantly walking around our unit especially if you are a circulating nurse. I was hoping it could help lose weight but sad to say my legs were still fat! Don’t know why. It should have been firmer now but I don’t think it is.

Went Window Shopping

Been to the mall this afternoon and went window shopping. I was looking for a new pair shoes and for a pants but sad to say, I haven’t seen one for me. I ended up buying a nail polish from Skin Food. I roamed around the mall and surprisingly, there were a lot of new shops opened. It was way long enough since I visited that particular mall. I went inside a shop which sells various accessories. Their products were appealing but pricey. Their shop was inviting and their Seagull lighting was very appealing to the customers. Perhaps it’s one lucky charm for them that invites walk in customers in their shop.

Hanging Out At Our Friend’s Pad

admin — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 13:33:53 +0000

Went out with friends after my PM duty and off we went to a local bar. Drank some vodka and ate some “kinilaw” and donut. After which we decided to go to our friend’s pad since he was inviting us over to have a taste of his favourite drink, Goldshlagger. It was one strong drink with a cinnamon after taste. The cinnamon made the drink yummy plus the edible gold particles beneath made it even more appealing. We all had a good time in his pad. A studio type furnished with modern furnitures fit for a bachelor like him. One friend of ours and I took a nap in his modern bedroom furniture. That was one good time to remember.

Craving for A Spa

admin — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 15:54:42 +0000

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.

Quite Alarming

admin — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 05:46:12 +0000

Oh no! I’ve gained 2 pounds for this past few weeks! That is alarming on my part. Already got this bulging tummy and it isn’t flattering to have, especially that summer is fast approaching. Arrggh! I need to do work outs again but it’s quite expensive yet. Need to wait for their next promo. Huhu. Oh well, I don’t think quick weight loss tips will do any help since I know already of those and yet what I need is self-control and a physical workout.
