Maybe bug?

JOY — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 00:46:11 +0000

I was so worried last night because my notebook suddenly turned-off by itself every after I think 10-20 minutes. It’s upsetting because I’m in the middle of enjoying watching my favorite show American’s Next Top Model. It was not in sleep mode. Battery was well-plugged. So I asked the help of my IT husband to check what’s going on. He changed the settings but still no to avail. We tried to turn-off the modem and use my laptop without connection to the internet and guess what? The problem stopped! If time come that my unit is not stable anymore, I’ll prefer to get desktop computer because desktop computers are easy to upgrade just our kids computer. Well, it’s hard to transfer from one place to another if you use desktop. That’s my only concern because I don’t stay in place. I keep changing if I get bored.

Refreshing

There are different ways to refresh yourself this summer. There is the all time favorite ice cream. It is very common to see an ice cream stand or van in and around the city. Soft drinks and sports drinks are also a favorite to get cool during a very hot summer’s day. But the best way to refresh and cool is a cool glass of water. Any water softener would also bring out the best in water, and is even better than a normal glass of water.

Life Matters

JOY — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 11:19:16 +0000

Different people look at life with different sets of goals and different angles. Some people like to take the easy way out, and would rather mess up an opportunity than to seek out learning. They wouldn’t know a life insurance quote even if hit them in the face. Or they rather not get insurance to begin with. Other people are too cautious, and only think about insurance. They don’t dare touch a topic unless their is insurance for success. In either case, a bad fall is a really bad fall and nothing more. Right in the middle of these extremes is the true and genuine purpose for life. It is all about a learning experience. There no such thing as a bad fall, but a life changing experience.

Heights Scare

JOY — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 07:55:45 +0000

My friend had someone working at their house to repair something in the roof. When the builder climb up, he didn’t used any fall protection and he suddenly slipped and fell down. Luckily, he didn’t fell so badly. He happened to be a circus player before and was hardly trained before he became a builder.
He handled the situation in a tricky way. Jumping on each side until he landed on the ground with his bare feet. Everyone was shocked and amazed. I can’t imagine how the builder does it but he’s really tough. If he’s not, he might have broken bones now or maybe dead.

In the bathroom, clean stubborn stains around the sink and toilet bowl with undiluted vinegar. A Paste of bicarbonate soda is also works well on sinks and ceramics.
To clean wooden floors, add six drops of eucalyptus to boiling water and mop. To polish hardwood use one cup pf olive oil combined with one cup of lemon juice and rub in with a soft cloth.
When you combine these natural ingredients to use as cleaning agents, the savings are obvious.
A lemon can cost around 50c,a 2L bottle of vinegar about $1 and $1.50 for 500g of bicarbonate of soda.

Weight Wobbling

JOY — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 11:33:39 +0000

During the honeymoon stages of love, you find yourself teetering between craving sweets and ditching the itch to binge. More often than not, you don’t have the appetite to eat, and so you end up taking a few inches off you waistline. You would be happy to fit into your size 2 jeans without taking weight loss pill especially if you’re on a diet right?
Loss of appetite and sleeplessness are directly related to another one of love’s overwhelming sensations: tremendous energy.
When we’re in love or in extreme like, our brain produces huge amounts of dopamine, a chemical associated with exhilaration (adrenalin is one of its products). With the increases energy and hyperactivity, a high level of dopamine causes, your body burns more calories-and so you go on major food binges, but keep the weight off. For some, a significant production of dopamine leads to a decrease in appetite, among others.
So if you want to lose weight, feel in love like seventeen . But if you want to make things simple, even if you don’t feel like eating, munch on an apple or some crackers to make sure that your energy level is up. Avoid caffeine and cigarettes-these can drain you of energy, even if they’ll give you a quick adrenalin boost.

Carbonated mineral water

JOY — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 03:29:16 +0000

The first time I tasted carbonated mineral water, I felt horrible. I’m not used to drink bubbly water in the first place. It’s like drinking tasteless soft-drinks! My friends keep buying it because they like it because of the mineral contain. You can’t get mineral in drinking water from the taps? We drink water from the taps! Well, not directly from the taps because we used water filters and change filters quarterly. Some people said, drinking water directly from the tap is not safe because of the pressure plus the chlorine. Not sure if it’s true because I have bo basis. Just recently, I stared to like drinking carbonated mineral water. I don’t know why but now I get used to the taste. One liter of carbonated mineral water cost 70cents in ALDI. It’s a good price of a good water according to my friend.

Heading South

JOY — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 02:18:23 +0000

When it comes to long distance moving nothing compares to the move that we did 2 years ago. We not only moved from continent to another. We also moved from one hemisphere to the other. To make things clear, we moved from the Philippines to Australia. The Philippines is in Asia, and generally in the Northern hemisphere. Australia on the other hand is a continent itself, and located below the equator. There were a lot of things that we had to adjust to. First thing was the language. We had to avoid getting tongue-tied with speaking a lot of English. The next thing that we had to adjust to was the weather. In the Philippines, we were used to celebrating a cold Christmas. Here in Australia, we celebrated both the Christmas and the New Year in over-35 degrees temperature.

Stuck in the middle

JOY — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 23:34:46 +0000

Have you ever been stuck in the middle of nowhere? What a scary question but it happened to some. Luckily not on me. What will you do if that happen to you? Will you call roadside assistance for immediate rescue? Of course you do as long as you’re not out reach when it comes to communication. Most people who owned RV has this kind of emergency road services. It’s very important in every long travel. I can’t imagine myself in the kind of situation and no one to call.

Chapter 24

JOY — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 23:59:47 +0000

I’m reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollow and now I’m in chapter 24 out of 36 chapters. I’m loving it. I’m an avid reader of J.K Rowling’s series book ever since Harry Potter was released. My friend told me, I’m still really and kid because I love reading the kind of stories. I just find it very adventurous and interesting especially this last book. I read not only this kind of book, but as of now, if I’m free, I continue reading. I still have Amazon books to read after I finished Harry Potter. My kids loves books too. I have a particular online bookstore where I got lots of discounts if I buy. There, you will find different kinds of good books in different categories. Visit buy.com.
