My Future

Think of your future.” That’s the common line I heard from my mom when I’m still studying. Now I realized that she is the one building our future but we must know how to build it since it is our life. I’m proud of myself because I able to finish my 4 year course even we are experiencing financial problem. Mom’s new line to me is that think of the future of your children because I am now a parent. When she said that it came to my mind to get a whole life insurance because lots of benefits we can get from that. I agree! :)

What Will Your Life Be Like in Ten Years?


Your Life Will Be Calm in Ten Years

You're the type of person who takes things as they come, and you do your best not to worry.
You know that there's a lot in this world that you can't change - and you're not about to try to change it.

You are confident and content. You don't feel like you need to push too hard.
Try to break out of your comfort zone every now and then, though. Have an adventure! You are risking complacency.

Hair Talk

According to what I discovered, men are the number one victim of baldness. That’s good news to us girls! Well, I am somewhat keen observer person and I noticed that hubby is going to that point. You know what I mean. There is a certain portion in his head that no hair grows. Gosh! Hubby will be infuriated when he read this post of mine. LOL! What I did is search in the net on how to prevent hair loss and its causes. Hubby must read the information I got yesterday night.

Top 10 Health Benefits of Drinking Tea

1. Tea contains antioxidants. Like the Rust-Oleum paint that keeps your outdoor furniture from rusting, tea's antioxidants protect your body from the ravages of aging and the effects of pollution.

2. Tea has less caffeine than coffee. Coffee usually has two to three times the caffeine of tea (unless you're a fan of Morning Thunder, which combines caffeine with mate, an herb that acts like caffeine in our body). An eight-ounce cup of coffee contains around 135 mg caffeine; tea contains only 30 to 40 mg per cup. If drinking coffee gives you the jitters, causes indigestion or headaches or interferes with sleep -- switch to tea.

3. Tea may reduce your risk of heart attack and stroke. Unwanted blood clots formed from cholesterol and blood platelets cause heart attack and stroke. Drinking tea may help keep your arteries smooth and clog-free, the same way a drain keeps your bathroom pipes clear. A 5.6-year study from the Netherlands found a 70 percent lower risk of fatal heart attack in people who drank at least two to three cups of black tea daily compared to non-tea drinkers.

4. Tea protects your bones. It's not just the milk added to tea that builds strong bones. One study that compared tea drinkers with non-drinkers, found that people who drank tea for 10 or more years had the strongest bones, even after adjusting for age, body weight, exercise, smoking and other risk factors. The authors suggest that this may be the work of tea's many beneficial phytochemicals.

5. Tea gives you a sweet smile. One look at the grimy grin of Austin Powers and you may not think drinking tea is good for your teeth, but think again. It's the sugar added to it that's likely to blame for England's bad dental record. Tea itself actually contains fluoride and tannins that may keep plaque at bay. So add unsweetened tea drinking to your daily dental routine of brushing and flossing for healthier teeth and gums.

6. Tea bolsters your immune defenses. Drinking tea may help your body's immune system fight off infection. When 21 volunteers drank either five cups of tea or coffee each day for four weeks, researchers saw higher immune system activity in the blood of the tea drinkers.

7. Tea protects against cancer. Thank the polyphenols, the antioxidants found in tea, once again for their cancer-fighting effects. While the overall research is inconclusive, there are enough studies that show the potential protective effects of drinking tea to make adding tea to your list of daily beverages.

8. Tea helps keep you hydrated. Caffeinated beverages, including tea, used to be on the list of beverages thatdidn't contribute to our daily fluid needs. Since caffeine is a diuretic and makes us pee more, the thought was that caffeinated beverages couldn't contribute to our overall fluid requirement. However, recent research has shown that the caffeine really doesn't matter -- tea and other caffeinated beverages definitely contribute to our fluid needs. The only time the caffeine becomes a problem as far as fluid is concerned is when you drink more than five or six cups of a caffeinated beverage at one time.

9. Tea is calorie-free. Tea doesn't have any calories, unless you add sweetener or milk. Consuming even 250 fewer calories per day can result in losing one pound per week. If you're looking for a satisfying, calorie-free beverage, tea is a top choice.

10. Tea increases your metabolism. Lots of people complain about a slow metabolic rate and their inability to lose weight. Green tea has been shown to actually increase metabolic rate so that you can burn 70 to 80 additional calories by drinking just five cups of green tea per day. Over a year's time you could lose eight pounds just by drinking green tea. Of course, taking a 15-minute walk every day will also burn calories.

Vit A-Z is what I need

This afternoon, I and my friend dropped by to a store that sells healthy products. One of my plans this year is to take vitamins A to Z. The only problem is that I am so lazy to go to drug store and look for it. I can’t spend time finding the right vitamins for me. Amazingly, I found a colon cleansing product that is costly but the sales lady affirms almost their customers bought such products. Sounds interesting! I’ll save funds for it and will buy soon.

Just try and you will see..

Not easy to solve facial problem especially if you have allergies of oily foods just like my friend. She went to many derma clinic and use the recommended astringent, cream and etc but still it did not works for her. Sad to say but her face has red spots that are so annoying to see. I urge her to look for acne products that our high school classmate’s use for long time. In fairness, she has lucid and good-looking face right now.

Waiting, Hoping

Hubby is so busy with getting important documents because it is needed in our new venture. I know it’s costly and consumes lot of time. But I know he is determined to push through, so he will get good result after all. I hope and pray that it will start sooner so that they can do marketing to other places and get orders. Certainly, he will buy micro sd because he needs it. This time, praying is what I can help to hubby.

Most of All

In our life there is nothing to worry if you are with God. Even if I am struggling financially, I still able cope up. I always thanked God for that because He never leaves me in the midst of the storm. The most important thing is you can eat 3 times a day or more. And you are healthy plus blessed.

Tired, Stress

..so tired day by day because I have work for eight hours a day. After my work I do household chores such as cooking, cleaning the house, washing the dishes and even baby sitting my daughter. Hubby told me to take vitamins so that I will not get sick. I should not get sick because I have no helper to do the things I usually do. For the mean time, I don’t need a helper since I will be living my work soon so I’ll be staying at home while I am looking for a new job.

Just like what I have discovered yesterday about some tips on how to treat acne that makes me think to share to hubby since he has pimples on his face.

To all Coffee Lovers


Good news for you coffee lovers. A recent study says caffeine intake will help workers with evening shifts avoid mistakes.

Working overtime or night shifts are done by a lot of workers. In a long term this can disrupt the biological time. Some who sleep outside the normal hours have sleep disorders. As a result, the likelihood of errors when working is also higher.

In an analysis of 13 studies of the effects of caffeine on the ability of workers working night shifts, it is known that caffeine will make workers more alert, focused, and enables them to face the challenges so that the errors can be minimized.

Respondents in the research consumed a variety of caffeine, like coffee, pills, energy drinks, food, while others were given a placebo. The result, those who consume caffeine have a better performance than those who received placebo.

Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system, resulting in increasing ability to recall, concentrae, perception and opinion. However, too muchcaffeine also has side effects. In excessive doses, between 2-7 cups of coffee or more than 250 mg, can cause restlessness, nausea, or headaches. If a higher dose, it can cause emotional disturbances.

Feeling Clean and Fresh

Not everyday I can take a bath in an hour due to I’m in hurry to go to work. If I have no work or during holidays I can say that I am clean and fresh, that’s what I feel. Sometimes I feel itchy because of some pimples in my back. I’m glad I found out in the grocery that there is best acne body wash in which I am looking for many years. Frankly, I am so in particular with cleanliness especially in my body because I don’t want to have bad odor or anything else that can make people judge me.
