This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I am on a lifetime maintenance for my Thyrax medication due to the removal of my Thyroid gland. I am also required a daily dose of Calcuim and I should not miss any dose because it’s an important supplement for my health condition. Aside from that, I buy vitamins and other medicines for my family. With all the needed medicines that I need to buy everyday, I can’t help but worry sometimes with our finances because it really makes a big cut on our family budget. The best thing that I do about this is to go for cheaper medicines or use my discount cards.

If you want to make the most out of your money in buying medicines, you can apply for a membership on Walgreens Prescription Savings Club. For $10 a year***, you can enjoy the benefits of a family membership which includes everyone in your immediate family. Your younger pets are included too!

Individuals who may wish to join can also avail the membership for only $5*** a year. By being a member, you can also enjoy the benefits of savings on more than 8,000 brand-name and all generic medications; discounts on flu shots, pet prescriptions, nebulizers and diabetic supplies. You can also enjoy great bonuses when you purchase Walgreen and Nice! brand products and photofinishing services. Does this sound great?

Where's Our House?

noreply@blogger.com (Laureen) — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 13:30:00 +0000

When Typhoon Sendong (Washi) hit our city, many lives were lost and many houses were washed out. My house was one of the houses that has been washed out due to the flood. I couldn't believe at first that our house was already gone. However, God comforted me and gave me the assurance that He will provide a "new" house for me and my family.

Let’s do some scenario setting, and maybe you can imagine yourself in these situations:

You need to call someone but you have to make it a very quick call because the cost of the call is very expensive;

You’re on the phone, you called a friend, and she keeps on talking and talking and talking and all you do is look at your watch and count the seconds as they ticked away… and you wished she’s just stop so you can turn off the phone and begin counting the cost of the call;

You’re phone is the old type and you’ve been wishing for an upgrade to an Android phone;

Now ask yourself this question: when was the last time you wished the cost of mobile phone calls will not cost so much?

Pause for a moment and then imagine yourself talking to someone using an Android mobile phone and feeling good – richer in fact - simply because you don’t have to worry about the cost of the call.

Coffee Enema

noreply@blogger.com (Laureen) — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 13:22:00 +0000

3 years ago I was diagnose to have thyroid cancer. Since then I started to be health conscious. I watched what I eat. I usually eat only fish and vegetables. I seldom eat pork, beef and most especially chicken. I also do coffee enema since I've learned from my father's doctor in Alternative Medicine that cleansing enema ensures the best body detoxification to help you live a healthier and longer ..... naturally!!

Enema has been used for 100 years and one generally regarded as safe. Additionally, coffee cleansing enema have a chemical make-up that is stimulative. The enzymes in coffee, known as palmitates , help the liver carry away the toxins in bile acid. The coffee is absorbed into the hemorrhoidal vein, then taken up to the liver by the portal vein with the bile ducts dilated, bile carries toxins away to the gastro-intestinal tract simultaneously, peristaltic activity is encouraged because of the flooding of the liver colon. Thus, when the colon is evacuated, the toxins and bile are carried out of the body.

Enema greatly contributes to the strength of the digestive system. It improves the blood circulation not only to the large intestine but also to the organs of the whole digestive systems.
It improves the digestion of food and also improves the secretion of the digestive juices/enzymes.

What you need:
You will need to buy a re-usable enema kit (available at most pharmacies)
Distilled water
Organic Coffee
A comfortable spot that might allow clean-up to occur
Lubricant
Some place to hang the enema bag. It should be about 1-2 feet above where your bottom will be
Lie in your left side and bend your right leg. (upper leg toward your chest keep your left leg.
Straight this position should be fairy comfortable while giving goood access to your anus.

Coffee Enema Recipe:
Bring 8 cups of water to a boil in a glass pot.
Add 4 heaping spoonfuls of grind organic coffee.
The liquid should be about body temp. If you stick your finger into the water it should be lukewarm.
Note: If you prepare ahead just pour boiling water to make it 1 liter.

It has been 3 years now that I do coffee enema. I only stopped for a while during my pregnancy with Zane. Truly I can attest to it since doing coffee enema I feel good and healthier and I also noticed that I seldom experience hyper acidity unlike before.

Keeping in Touch With Loved Ones

noreply@blogger.com (Laureen) — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 12:08:00 +0000

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of TracFone for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

It’s a wonder what technology can do to keep people connected despite the distance. Years ago, talking to someone using a wireless phone with very clear connection - even though that person is practically on other side of the globe - is unimaginable. Today, this is just a normal, everyday thing. Due to modern technological advancement, people can get in touch with love ones anytime, anywhere.

Childhood Memories

noreply@blogger.com (Laureen) — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 23:22:00 +0000

One of the memories I treasured during my childhood was biking with the family.

I remember that my parents gave each one of us bicycle.

One time, my late father asked all of us, me, my brother and my 2 sisters except my mom to go biking from our former house at Nazareth Subdivision going to our rest house (now our present residence) at Balulang. The distance was quite far but we enjoyed riding our bicycle and we did not feel it the distance at all. But when I saw that we were going downhill. Oh my! I panicked and yelled, "Tay! Tay! Tay! (father) and then I was way out of control, so my father yelled, "brake! brake! brake! so I did pressed my brake right away. Bang! crashed! I flipped over and I fell off my bike then landed on the dirt. I had a few bruises at that time because my brake was only in front. lol! But I never had regrets though because it was our bonding moments as a family which was so valuable to me...

Now seeing my nephews, neice and my son biking together it reminds me of my best childhood memories.

Walgreens Wal-Fex 24-Hour Allergy Relief Saved My Day

noreply@blogger.com (Laureen) — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 14:39:00 +0000

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I am a 38 years old mother of 2 kids, and at this age, I never expected to experience allergies. All this time I thought allergies are only experienced by little kids. How wrong I was.

It all started when one morning after I woke up, I went outside my kitchen to pick flowers from my back garden to put into my living room vases. I was expecting friends that morning, and I wanted my living room to have fresh flowers. After cutting the flowers, I suddenly felt the fingers in my hand itching. In a matter of minutes, I then started sneezing, and then my nostrils started feeling itchy as well. I immediately told my husband about it. Much to my surprise, he had a sister who had allergies, and he said my symptoms are similar to what his sister had been going through. With that, we decided to go to the pharmacy.As we entered the Pharmacy, I was a bit troubled because I did not know what medication to buy. The itching has continued, and I was feeling uneasy. Good that the Pharmacist who assisted us was very helpful. She recommended to me Walgreens Wal-Fex 24-Hour Allergy Relief from. She told us that it’s one of their fast moving allergy medication and is very effective. It was also affordable, something that is very important for someone like me who’s very conscious with my budget.I took the tablet and was relieved from itching in just a matter of minutes.. Boy was I glad!Today, thanks to Walgreens Wal-Fex 24-Hour Allergy Relief, I am no longer afraid to pick flowers in my garden knowing that I am protected from allergy 24 hours a day.

What's in Your Hand?

noreply@blogger.com (Laureen) — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 14:05:00 +0000

Last April, my son's hand got hand injured ( will share the story about it soon). We were invited for a birthday party at the beach and my husband and I decided not to let my son swim on the beach because of his injured hand. But I felt pity for him because he looks so sad while looking at his cousins enjoying the beach. So I wrapped his hand with a plastic bag and allowed him to enjoy the mini waves. He was so happy even though he can't let his left hand down on the water.

Fun Activities for Kids

noreply@blogger.com (Laureen) — Thu, 26 May 2011 13:46:00 +0000

My son loves to have an adventure especially with his cousins. Last year, they have this mini-camp in our backyard and everyone enjoyed the camp. I can hear loud giggles inside the tent and they were all very happy playing and talking with each other.

My nephew and nieces will be coming home this December and I am sure the kids will have another fun and exciting adventure. If it is safe for them, I wanted to let them experience water rafting or the zip line adventure in Bukidnon. If not, then I guess we will just have to go hiking on Eco Village. I think I should prepare a hiking gear for my son so that when the time comes he will be ready for his next adventure.

I hope December will come so soon so that my son can now meet his cousins and they will enjoy their time bonding with each other.

Wednesday Whites # 1: The Dress

noreply@blogger.com (Laureen) — Wed, 25 May 2011 13:31:00 +0000

This is my niece dress during her baptism. She's now already a grown up and she's now also a mom. Two years ago, she gave this dress to me during my daughter's first birthday celebration. The dress was well taken cared of and I find it very nice for my daughter. I bought a little ribbons and bids to modify it and make it more attractive. My niece was so happy to see the dress looking so new.

The photo below is my little girl wearing the white dress. Isn't she cute?

Excited!

noreply@blogger.com (Laureen) — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 00:24:00 +0000

I'm excited of my house renovation project this year. I am still waiting for my money to come and hopefully by then I can start the project. I am currently considering to hire a house contractor and a Floor contractor but thank God my cousin's hubby who is an engineer will be helping us with the renovation. My brother also helped me with the design and when I saw it I was all the more excited with the plan. I hope the project will start very soon.

Blue Monday: At the Beach

noreply@blogger.com (Laureen) — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 00:23:00 +0000

Last Saturday we went to Medina, Misamis Oriental to visit our aunt who celebrated her 82nd birthday. The travel going to her place would reach 3 hours but because we wanted to make her happy on her birthday we went there together with my family.

She celebrated her birthday at the beach. My kids enjoyed swimming and playing in the sand. We also rode the glass bottom boat. During our ride we got to see a lot of beautiful corals, colorful fishes and other sea creatures. I got dizzy with the ride but my little girl had so much fun especially during the time when they feed the fishes.

Below is the photo of our bottom glass boat ride. Looks fun isn't it?

Visit the home of Blue Monday for more blue photos.

Blue Frame

There were other blue frames I found in their site which has a mixture of different colors. You can check it out and find one that suits your taste.

I know it's too early for my son to be wearing prescription eyeglasses, but I was just curious about his looks when he's wearing eyeglasses. He looks very cute and he looks like a grown up. I'm going to show this picture to him and I'm sure he will be laughing at this.

A hot-tempered person starts fights; a cool-tempered person stops them.

This is great verse which reminds us to take control of our emotions and be patient in all things. May you all have a Word-filled Wednesday and a blessed week ahead!

Using the Computer

noreply@blogger.com (Laureen) — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 04:26:00 +0000

My son has learned how to manipulate the computer by observing his older cousins and his granny. Sometimes he asked instructions but he seldom do that now as he is so familiar of it. One time I was browsing online and was having difficulty going to the page I want. I was surprise when my little boy taught me how to do it. It was so easy for him that I was even more motivated to learn stuff online. Modesty aside, I am thankful that my son is smart. I am not sure if he would take up computer engineering or web design and logos designs when he grows up. His ambition as this moment is to become a fireman. LOL.

Things to Improve

noreply@blogger.com (Laureen) — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 04:17:00 +0000

We had our school's board meeting yesterday and one of the things mentioned was on the things that needs to be improved in our school. I suggested to change the floorings of the classroom as it is already old. It looks soiled and it is very hard to clean. My cousin suggested to have a rubberized floor so it would be safe for kids during play time. Although a Carpet Installation would be better but I guess it won't be too friendly for children who have asthma and allergies. Anyway, I hope the rubberized flooring would be materialized in this coming back to school season.

Reading E- Mails

noreply@blogger.com (Laureen) — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 04:09:00 +0000

Even though I don't have time to open my mails, but I find time to read them one by one during my vacant time. I love to read those e mail newsletter from my sister's work in Thailand and some newsletters from Christian organization which is very useful in my ministry. If you sent me an email and I haven't responded too soon, that means I haven't read it yet but I will find time to read it and respond to you the soonest. But if I got spam emails on my inbox, I am sorry to tell you that I don't read them anymore and will send immediately send them to trash. Sorry!

Things to Do

noreply@blogger.com (Laureen) — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 04:03:00 +0000

As I have mentioned in my previous post, my little girl will be having a birthday party this month. I am planning to make a birthday banner for her and this is one of the things that I need to do for next week. I am not the one who will be making the banner but I will be looking for printing and logo designing companies who can make a beautiful birthday banner for my 3 year old girl. I hope it will be affordable so I can buy some other stuff for her birthday.

My Blog Visitors

noreply@blogger.com (Laureen) — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 03:37:00 +0000

I don't always update my blog because I am busy taking care of the kids and doing school work. Since, I don't usually update it anymore I am sure that there are only a few visitors are now coming to my site. I don't know what to do about it now. Maybe I can go back to joining memes and exchange links with other bloggers or I can have it advertise in a paid search marketing to drive more visitors in here. Well, I guess I will have to settle first for link exchange because I don't have enough money to pay for advertising.
