Christmas is just around the corner

September 3, 2010 By admin Leave a Comment

Its ber  month already, I can feel Christmas is just around the corner. Well, we are accustomed in preparing for the Christmas season as early as September. Some are even starting to decorate their houses while others are already sending their greetings. That’s why I’m starting to write down my gift lists. It’s better to start early so I won’t have to suffer from the hassles of Christmas rush.

Of course, I can’t send out gift to all my friends. I will end up broke if I do that. A Christmas photo cards will do. It’s the thought that counts. But, it doesn’t mean I will just choose whatever I will find in stores. I have to make sure I will give out the best quality cards that are filled with my style and personality. I want them to feel special so the cards have to be special.

dreaming of giving her luxury watch

September 3, 2010 By admin Leave a Comment

A few weeks back, wifey  whines about her favorite watch. It’s no longer working; probably we need to change its battery. Actually, it’s my first watch gift to her. But, she likes it a lot and wears it most of the time even if it’s not expensive. She keeps the second one since it’s more like for party accessory.

For now the watch already had a lot of scratches. If it can talk, it would say it needs replacement. Five years is a long time for a single watch to be worn almost every day. I already had plans of giving her a watch like that for her everyday use. But, I’m also dreaming of giving one of those IWC Watches of Lussori.

How many hours should you sleep?

August 26, 2010 By admin Leave a Comment

The phrase ‘sleep disorder’ may suggest someone tossing and turning all night, but lying awake for hours with insomnia is just one example of many conditions that affect how you sleep and function during the day. In fact, you can have a sleep disorder and not even know it.

Basically, there is no normal number of hours that quantifies a good sleep, just like there’s no normal shoe size. Most adults need seven to nine hours a night; others manage just fine with six. It’s even possible to get too much sleep, since spending excess time in bed can be a sign of another health problem, such as depression or chronic fatigue syndrome.

According to the 2007 British study, they found out that people who slept the same amount of time (seven hours) each night lived longer, on average, than people who adjusted their schedules to either add or subtract hours from their nightly slumber. Finding your own ideal sleep/wake cycle—and staying consistent—is key to healthy sleep.

too much video game affects children’s attention

August 13, 2010 By admin Leave a Comment

A study suggests that those children who are playing a lot of video games might actually be actively hurting their attention spans. The study has been put together by Edward Swing, who is a doctoral candidate at the Iowa State University, and included 1,323 students from elementary schools that were watched for more than one year.

The findings are that those who have played video games for more than two hours during each day on average have attention issues that manifest themselves at home and in the classroom. Apparently the same correlation is found in those children who watch television for the same amount of time. The new study does not imply causation between attention deficit and video games, but it will not be long before someone misquotes it to make that point.

A smaller study was conducted at the same time on college students, with the findings similarly showing that spending a lot of time with television and video games can lead to problems with attention capacity. The published study suggests that parents should limit the time that children are spending with video games in order to make sure that they are not affected by attention deficit disorders.
