How?  By keeping yourself healthy.  By having regular exercise, eating the right food, taking enough rest, drinking lots of water and protect yourself from unnecessary exposure to the sun and to the rain or afternoon showers.

Many of my friends are sick this past days and two of my office mates called in sick today – one in the morning and one this afternoon.  I even thought that maybe i should call in sick too so that i can have a long sleep to let the body ache go away.  But then i decided not to because i want this month to be a great month for me – no absences, no tardinesses at work, and no sickness as this is my birthday month.  Though i may not be so blessed financially at least i will be blest with good health – minus even the minor aches.

Get well soon (ay not soon as in now na jud) to the following: Uncle Jerry, Ma’am Gaid, Ma’am Ruby, and Sir Morente!

Aside from the changeable weather, these people too are stressed out at work – so my advice is work accordingly.  When it’s time to go home – go home, do exercise, or take time to smell the roses.

I love this quote i saw this morning:

Your job won’t take care of you when you sick.
Your friends and family will.
Stay in touch.

Am done eating dinner more than an hour ago yet.  Done brushing my teeth, too.  So i thought that i should watch a movie, but decided to get online instead.  To be be able to get online i should have a credit on my broadband.  To do that, i went to Room 5 and i was in for a surprise.  They were celebrating a roommate’s birthday!  I told them am full already and have also brushed my teeth.  But they really force me to eat – at least just the cake from Red Ribbon.  I really wanna turn it down but to please them, i took a slice.  And now i need to brush my teeth later. Again!

Philippine 2010 Election Day is just a few weeks away.  And each party list got unique ways to reach out to the public.  I saw one promoting on vote green!  I wonder if they are vegetarian or maybe they are just wearing green shirts or maybe promoting green revolution to prolong Earth’s life.   If there is green voting, well, there is also what they call green shopping ! If you want to know more about that then check out buy [dot] com and check out on how to support in saving Mother Earth. I think for the past many years, many organizations have been promoting ways on how to help save Mother Earth or Mother Nature.  So far changes can be seen but I am not sure if it will last.  I guess the earth is just too over populated that we humans don’t have much power to help save Mother Earth.  We can of course but all of the us should work hand in hand in promoting this cause.

I saw some ripe ones yesterday when we went to my mom’s place up in the highlands of Opol, Misamis Oriental.  I can say i miss Dulce de Maria since i haven’t tasted one since mid-80′s .

The plant is crawling plant. It goes its way around a plant or a tree and clung to it until it bears fruit.  The fruit is being covered with a see-through green covering so you will know if the fruit is already ripe or not.

The fruit turns yellow when they get ripe. I took the 4 ripe ones i saw and washed it. The taste? it’s a bit sour and also sweet. I wish i can get a broader info about this edible wild fruit but i dunno the scientific name of it.  So i better check out this I dunno what’s the this wild plant called in English but it looks like this: cytosport muscle milk review because this might be another product that will enhance ourselves health-wise.   I know milk does good for our body because it gives us the calcium that we need.  But the sound of muscle milk is very new to the ears.  So i better check on that after posting this.

I am not sure if i can go back there next month but if i can i will check out the patch again if there will be ripe ones.  When we were still small kids, my siblings and i really contest our way to pick the ripe ones.  We just love the idea of picking them.

Since am working in an office daytime, power nap for me should be after lunch time.  Though i have experienced for many years that power nap is very effective for recharging our body, yet for some past years, i did not practice yet.  Lately, i want to do it regularly because it makes me still active even a half day full of work.

Last night, we slept so late because of the water.  We were waiting for it to come back.  I crawled to bed at past 1 am already so i almost missed buzzing the bell at 5:30.  During the worship i was soooo sleepy that after worship i went back to bed and sleep until 7 am.

It is still 10:47 but am looking forward to my power nap.  My mind is sort of unsure which to do, power nap or go to the COOP for some transaction and go straight to the mall to look for christmas photo cards which we will be using the next week. Oh i still have to go to the telephone company to have our internet connection cut. I have to cut it because our pc is not working these days. It’s good for the junkshop now.  I don’t like to think i will pay 1 month of the subscription and am not using it.

So maybe today, i will miss this power nap again.

And i was shocked!  When reality hit me i felt like puking.  Many things flashed back in my mind.  Regrets started to creep in but i know it is all too late.  Anyway, am still 3 weeks into this exercise thing and am glad i decided to have an FBS.

A friend is now suggesting i should go and see the doctor for meds.  I guess i will on Tuesday.  I still dont’ feel anything serious eh.

Hmmm am sure will gonna miss slices and slices of cakes. hehehe

I love food and i love to eat!  That’s why I am sure i need a appetite suppressants so that i can control my craving. Especially pre period days i crave for comfort foods like lots of carbo and something spicy.  At times i can control but most of the times i can’t so my weight is a proof of it all.  Oh well who just can say no to these foods?

So tell me — can you say no to these foods?

For God so loved the world (and Arlene, and you, and you)  that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but will have an everlasting life.   — John 3:16

That is my favorite verse.  In the past week, in celebration of the holy week and easter all over the world, images of Jesus hanging on wall reminded me how great is the love of God for each one of us that He died on the cross for us.  I understand that if Jesus did not die on the cross, then we are doomed to eternal death.

I hope everyone had a blissful easter week.

See that each hour’s feelings, and thoughts and actions are pure and
true; then your life will be also.

- Henry Ward Beecher.

So no matter what, we shall think of good and positive things that even when the storm hits our lives, we can still manage to smile and thank God for life.

Happy Monday to all!

According to the short test i took, my valentine’s day personality is broken -

Valentine’s Day is something you could potentially enjoy, but not this year.
It just brings up too many bad feelings and memories for you right now.

That’s the problem with Valentine’s Day. It’s a double edged sword.
The better it feels when you’re in a couple, the worse it feels when you’re single.

Oh well, am just silent at my end of the world.  Am thinking am loveless because it really feels like it.  We haven’t talked since the new year so am thinking that maybe he has come to his senses and decided that this year we will really call it quitz.   Well i did not expect his call but deep inside i was hoping.  I am wondering eh….For a month a half, he called, to greet me.  I did not talk much i was even quiet and he did not ask me anymore why…he said sorry…i did not reply.  He promised he will be online soon.  He requested my phone be connected to YM always.  Oh well it is but since it’s not in use anymore for soooooo long, then it just dc itself.   I was quiet most of the time of the 3 minutes call — quiet bcause i was crying. hehehe  Oh well it was good to cry — it lessened the toxic inside.

Hmmm am ranting.  Oh i should to keep me sane and healthy in spirits.

Happy Valentine’s day to all!
