Ageloc Vitality

I have been a regular visitor of Chinese Gen Hospital since my Lola got admitted on Tuesday last week.  I have seen how people gets tired in a day full of work and I have thankful I have Ageloc Vitality to keep me going after the longest day at the hospital and at work.  Imagine I go to the hospital at around 7am, goes to work at around 2pm and finally get home at about 1am.

Ever heard of extenze side effects?  I overheard this to one of the doctor at the hospital and I promise to myself to make a quick research on this.  Don't worry, will keep you posted on this one.  

Lola, Strong at 86!

My grandmother is a strong fighter at 86. 

Our recent trip to Bicol last week thought us immeasurable learnings and great challenge.  Inay fell to the ground accidentally while we were running errands for her to the other town. She stepped to a big stone holding our screen door not to close and out balanced herself.  That happened on Friday afternoon after we had our feast in the morning for the "Santa Cruz de Mayo".

On Saturday, we brought Lola to her local physician and she was given pain reliever her painful hip and legs.  We all thought everything is getting back to normal because of the pain reliever given to her.   We were on the road going back to Manila on Sunday afternoon. Lola is at Tita Rose's place the whole Monday but kept complaining with the growing pain. 

Finally she was convinced to visit a doctor here in Manila but we decided to have her confined while on recovery.  Lola was admitted to Chinese General Hospital on Tuesday.  Her doctor immediately performed operation for her left fractured hip on Wednesday.

As I write this article, I am beside my strong Lola who is fastly recovering from the surgical operation.  She is now back to her normal habit of giving left and right errands to us or who ever is near her except that she still cannot move her left leg that was wounded because of the operation.

My Uncle in Saudi would like to see pictures of my Lola during her stay in the hospital I will also send him direct mail postcards when I send him the photos.  Tomorrow, I will make sure I find time to do it.

Cellphone Cases

Who does not have a cellphone?  Would you say that cellphones are one of the most disruptive technology in this era.  About ten years ago, everyone is happy having a phone line at home but now everyone gets different kind of cellphones to use. 

I have a two year old son and he already knows how to play pretend using my cellphone or Rey's cellphone.  I wonder if by age three or four, he would ask for a cellphone unit as soon as he 's able to recognize the alphabet.


These iphone 3gs cases are nice to have phone accessorries.  It will be lovely if I can grab one, I wonder if there is one that will fit my E72 nokia model phone.

Feeling the Love

Becoming a mommy has been a very rewarding experience for me simply because Gab is such a joy to take care of. Mother’s Day has been celebrated recently, and as my boys showed me some appreciation, I realized how hard it is being a wife and mommy and managing our household while maintaining a full time job, all at the same time!

Mother’s day morning I was greeted by Rey and Gab with this huge bouquet of flower and I so love being treated like a queen. Being appreciated is the best-est! My gift was so pretty like those online floral arrangements that I see while surfing during my free time. With boys like mine, I feel that every day is Mother’s Day!

To all mommies out there, we rule because we are the ones that rock the cradle!

D GOLDEN TRUMPET FOUNDATION

Share your LOVE,
Share your GIFT,
Mission for a CAUSE....

Have you heard of D GOLDEN TRUMPET FOUNDATION, INC?  I suppose not, but if you take a Leveriza bound bus coming from Baclaran, there is a small chance you've heard of this but never paid attention.

Believe it or not, I am not in belief of sudo-preachers that come up to buses and gives bible lecture and challenge your conscience and after a while you will realize they are extorting money from bus passengers.  I say its extortion because of the fact that they ask money and if you do not give anything, they will attack your conscience just to make you give in.  Be it a man or a woman doing this kind of  job, they are all the same to me, I still don't give anything, not a single centavo.

But two, three weeks ago, there was one guy who came up the bus I am riding going to work.  This guy has a different approach. Compared to all other sudo-preachers that tried to extort me unsuccessfully, this young man, has a different approach.  If I can remember it right, he was smiling when he came up the bus.  I know I have a very vague memory of it because I really tried not to pay attention at the start because I know what he is up to.  He greated everyone in the bus, introduced himself and the organization he is representing. 

The foundation he is representing is just located nearby where we were at that time. Its is a very young foundation, I bet not even a year old. This young guy, did not use any verse from the bible to start with, but he was trying to make a point how lucky were all the people inside the bus.  Maybe, he wants us to feel thankful about what we all have and slowly trying to manipulate our imagination to see how hard would it be to live without anything like their recipients in their foundation.

A bit later on, he was distributing, new and unused envelopes to all the passengers and wishing us all well.  This is the only solicitation envelopes given at buses with SEC Registration of the organization and the address where it is located.  Most of all, it does not have any bible verse  on any part of the envelope.

I was convinced to donate a humble amount to the foundation and would you believe that I even asked for another empty envelope from the guy because I want to read what is written on it again. I bet most people donated to the foundation with a happy heart.  What is so different is that the guy did not give anything to the driver when he got off the bus not also when he came up.  Yes, believe you me, all other solicitors who come up to buses give a certain amount to the drivers. One of the amount I observed was a hundred pesos.  The driver took it with out hesitation and put it on his chest pocket.  The foundation that convinced me did not give any amount to the driver but a sincere Thank You. He was even smiling when he was out of the bus waving to the bus passengers and saying thank you. 

Anyway, I was happy to know that our nanny is trying to renew her postal ID.  Rey and I thought of enrolling our nanny to SSS.  I think what we can best give her is to secure social security benefits for her future.  She is a single mom and her family is not well off.  After she's done in taking care of Gab, and even Rey when he was small, she deserves to have at least SSS benefits when she reach her 60's.

Security is Optional

Deciding wether you want to be secure or not should not be difficult.  No one wants to live an unsecure life, not even your pet dog.

When Rey and I are newly wed, I convinced him that we get a trust fund even for a small amount.  We decided to take the offer of Family First, Inc.  This may sound really familiar because of the numbers of complaints we heard about them or saw on tv and prints.  I am one of the very few people who would say its is not a scam because I used to work for them.  Possibly, its the marketing style they have that is why many people did not like it. But if you are an open minded individual and is willing to look at what it offers, you will be able to see that it is legit.

The reason why I am writing about this is because of the life insurance quote that I came accross online.  I'd like to share this with you and hopefully if will help you have a more secure future.  Getting an insurance is not wasting your money, provided that you will choose a good company.

Rey and I have been paying the policy we got for five years now, and it two years time we will be finish.  Waiting for the maturity date is not very long. The only thing I am regretting right now is we did not get a higher premium.  Nevertheless, we have a savings and we will soon get our money and invest it to another something else, hopefully.

Royal Wedding: Honeymoon Location



I find it so sweet for Prince Charles to suprise the Duchess of Cambridge about the Royal Honeymoon.  Though the schedule of the Prince is very hectic due to the service he needs to render for his State he still finds time to organise a secret honeymoon for Kate.  Of course the Prince considered the type of honeymoon Kate would like to have.

Possible activities are horseback riding in South America, visiting Cairns in Queensland, go diving on the Great Barrier Reef. Other suggested destinations include Jordan, Mustique, Kenya and the Seychellesb

Did you know that confetti are not allowed in West Minister Abbey.  This is one request for all the guest not to do for the Royal Wedding "We don't encourage confetti. The Abbey is a place of worship, an institution. Weddings here are so few and far between they are regarded as a privilege, that don't require confetti all over the place. It is not really in keeping.", a spokeman of the institution said.
