haven’t updated my blog again!

havent-updated-my-blog-againThere are several things that make me busy last few days; that is why I haven’t had updated my blog during that time. It’s a little complicated, but I was able to go through it. The very first thing I do when I put a hand on my lappy is to check my emails. I have so many things to check including the best diet pills given to me by a friend. I actually asked him for the list since I don’t have internet for the past few days and I need it the soonest. Good thing I was able to use the web in my parents-in-law house. I was able to relay the list to the person who is seeking to lose weight for a long time.

Linsay Lohan

Linsay Lohan

We always know that these days, whatever Lindsay Lohan does or doesn’t do, depending on the case – is bound to make headlines. If it’s not for her weight, then it’s for her carefree lifestyle and alleged partying ways that might have just ended in an unwanted pregnancy. Report says that Lohan is confused and at a loss as regards to her next move, but she’s undoubtedly pregnant. Lilo friend said that she’s going through big emotional turmoil. She’s not sure if she’ll have it or go through with an abortion that she booked to have in the next few days.

According to the same source, the biggest problem of the actress is, right now, that she doesn’t even know who the father is, having spent the last, post-Samantha Ronson breakup weeks in a constant drunken party. She must have slept with more than two dozen men in the past couple of months. This, it is being said, only makes it that much harder for Lindsay to decide whether she wants the baby or not, but she will reach a decision in the following days.

talking about Rome

Rome, Italy

Rome, Italy

I have heard from a friend that they will be going to Rome a few months from now. That may sound far from this date, but they are already preparing for it. He actually told me that he wants to spend time with his wife just like their first honey moon. And he wants to make it big, really big. Early preparation will give him ample time to choose the best accommodation, location and the best price available. It will also save him from any hassles.

Now he is confused which Rome apartments to choose. He needs something that is spacious, comfortable and well-managed accommodation. Their travel is for a short stay, but they want a room with kitchen to save more from eating in a restaurant, washing machine, and dishwasher and many more. Well, as you can see all of those mentioned are not available in most hotels. Apartment is the best solution for their problem. I just hope they can get it and booked it with no problem.

One thing for sure, I want to see the pictures of my friend and his wife in this trip. I wonder when I will be able to visit the eternal city. Well, I think I will have to wait longer and save more.

planned surprise back home

surprise!

Wiffy and I planned to surprise everybody back home that we will pay them a visit. It’s not really a visit since we will be staying there for two months or more. That will depend on the outcome of my exam. I am excited to reunite with high school and college friends and most especially to wiffy’s family.

I don’t know how long is our stay. I just hope we will extend until the second week of August for the annual festivity, Kadayawan. I missed to see it last year; I hope I will see it this time. I want to watch the parade, the floats made of flowers and fruits and the street dancing with several instruments like Gongs and so much more.

Speaking of gongs, I am reminded that I found a very interesting piece this morning. The lists start from singing bowls, gongs, chimes, singing bowl cushions and many more, all of them are made from Nepal. I find it interesting as I have seen all of those used in meditation and relaxation. I always want to try meditation, but I never had a chance. I am curious of its effects to the person who is doing it. I don’t want hearsay; I want to really try it. But I don’t know where and how to start.

Kids Alternative Medicine

kids-alternative-medicineWhile not everything billed as “alternative medicine” is suitable for children, there are several alternative treatments that have been shown to be safe and effective for kids. Here are some of the top ones.

  • Probiotics for diarrhea, this is designed especially for children, adding that kids who are severely immune-compromised, such as those with end-stage HIV, shouldn’t take them.

It is also recommended that you will steep teaspoon of dried chamomile, or a tablespoon of fresh, in hot water for five to 10 minutes. Cool it off and then give the baby a half an ounce to an ounce every few hours in a bottle, spoon or medicine dropper.
  • St. John’s wort for mild to moderate depression. When teenage patients get depressed, it is sometimes suggested to take the herb St. John’s wort, 300 milligrams is recommended three times a day for teenagers. Breuner, an associate professor of pediatrics and adolescent medicine, says the herb should not be used for depression for children under 13.

sticking to the brand you used to?

Brands

We all know that with too many products available in the market nowadays, it is so difficult to choose which one poses good quality. A new brand may come out, but it doesn’t have any advertising. As consumers, like me, it would be very difficult to distinguish its difference between other products. The only way to know is to try it. However, it would also mean risking money. I don’t want to do that. So, I would stick to the brand I am used to.

This is based on my experience as a consumer. Of course, I would not gamble for a particular product that doesn’t say anything or promised anything to the market. I will not buy something that shows the sellers inability to make the product attractive. This just means that sellers and manufacturers should give extra effort on making their brand name more appealing to the public.

This is where the term Branding becomes very important. A good brand eventually gives product distinction that tends to make them attractive to consumers. Like me, I always buy something that has impressive brand. Another thing that is very important as far as I weigh it is advertising. The only way to spread the message across the bigger market is through advertising mediums.

Well, products that have a good mix of advertising, branding, and so on went through hard work before going out to the market. It goes to show that seller trust their product. So, whenever I see that kind of product on the shelf. I take a look and give it a try.
