It was a 'gigantic' pizza that I have ever seen! Whew!
Look at the topping overload! :)

Sweet sayings 101

I confess. As a woman, girl, or lady, words can and may sweep our feet away. Am I right ladies? Well, women as we are, by nature, we are emotional. Men are objective. But it does not apply to all though. But then, hearing from friends who are already in a relationship, I seem to observe how their boy friends deal with those sugar-coated words that are often or almost always said! Lol!

Honestly though, I have not been in a relationship (so far!), but through confessions of friends and learning from them as well, I can relate with this! Going back, women, when hearing these little, simple yet ‘moving’ words, we have tendencies (I am not exempted) to take them in the amplified level. Meaning to say, we, LIKE hearing those, even if at times we say it is corny. But then, somehow and in some way, they make us feel we are appreciated, treated-like-a-queen, given attention for, and simply admired for. Right girls? And we LIKE that, don’t we?

So all you guys out there, find out the right and Sweet things to say to your girlfriend. Remember: we women are keen with words, so please mean those and not just for sweeping our feet away and make us feel all euphoric. And to all the women out there, still stand your ground, but then don’t forget to still thank the guys for the effort of saying those sweet words! :)

No rain here!

Rain rain rain. Unending rain. Every afternoon, it always rains. Oh well, guess its a blessing.

Thinking back to the times when we have brownouts everyday because of the water shortage, then now is the time we ought not to complain. (Reminding myself to!)

I can't help but just write about it. Hey its the weather, one way or another, we are affected. Might as well write about it anyhow! :)

The news now is buzzing with it. There's a storm in Manila (signal no. 1!). And in the distal areas of the country, the heavy rain is pouring all the way down. But did you know that there's a place where even a single rainfall didn't drop? Yeah, you read it right, it's the ATACAMA desert in South America. No rain ever recorded in all human history! whew! Now that's a trivia on the driest place on earth! Check the details out here.

Something to learn and be grateful for the rain eh? :)

Word-Filled Wednesday - Wherever you go, I am with you

A true promise indeed.
The world may falter and it truly will,
and man's desires will not fill,
The grass fades and flowers fall,
but the promises of the Lord outlives them all.

Click on for more verses! :)

Watery & Wordful Wednesday - Dive in!

Ohhhhh! I so love to dive in right now!

Look at the clear waters! And the view, amazing!
This is one stop that is included in my travel list.
Camiguin Island is just one boat ride away and I haven't gone here!tsk!
(Thanks Aninz for the pic, it sure is inviting!)
Anyway, I 'll make it sure I'll go here someday!

Tuesday Couch Potatoes #7 - The Devil Wears Prada (2006)

This is one best chick flick movie! I loved the transformation of Anne Hathaway here, the naive, newbie journalist who enters the different world of fashion with her ruthless boss to go along with it! Taking it as a challenge, Anne Hathaway paved her way to her boss' standards, having a total make-over. But what she realizes, she changes in the inside as well affecting her relationships. In the end, she learns to follow her heart, quits the job, and chooses to follow her happiness. No superior can decide and control her life, except her.

Ruby Tuesday #1 - True Love Waits

Here's my first entry for Ruby Tuesday!
This was taken last February 2010 (forgot the day!).
During our Concert-Symposium. The night was full of learning
the right definition, ways, perspective and
guiding principles of the 4 letter-word L-O-V-E! :)

Flu alert 101

Ugh! Now I'm infected again. The three classical signs that an impending cold is coming:

(1) Sore throat.
(2) Runny and congested nose.
(3) Spontaneous Sneezing.

And when it is not intervened, it levels up to having the flu = a combination of Fever+Body fatigue+Headache+Cough and Runny, congested nose.

It's a check and balance that my body's immune system's status ain't that good and steady. Should I blame this to the weather? (It's like everyday is raining, at some point it rains cats and dogs!)

Again, I'm back to increased hydration (1 liter ain't enough/day). So if you're like me right now, aside from increasing your fluids, it's time to get back on track on your vitamin C's (huhuhu, I stopped taking mine that's why!).

And one basic intervention to do? REST. Yeah. No matter how many tablets of vitamin C's you dig in and overload yourself with fluids, if rest isn't there, then its worthless. Rest is one way the body compensates to fight back the infection (Fever is one Normal compensation unless it perseveres that's when you consult your doctor when it is constantly high). Fever is also the process by which it manages the opportunistic infection you have their by increasing your body's temperature. FYI: Some organism that make you sick cannot thrive in high temperatures. And so, that's why you shiver when you have a fever because the body is constantly helping speeding up metabolism, thus increasing body temperature.
Thank God I haven't reached this stage yet! It's not easy getting sick these days!

One thing to note though, do not rely so much in taking medications even for just a simple slight fever or what. It is still best to first have the 'independent interventions' (as we term it in nursing) wherein medication is a last resort.

1. Drink liberal fluids (water is advised but not limited to, soft drinks can wait!).
2. Do yourself a Sponge bath or a TSB. Tepid Sponge Bath.
3. Eat fruits and food rich in vitamin C.Your body needs a boost-up.
4. Rest. :)

Whoa, I'm talking my language here. lol! Learned something? :)
