swine flu

We are all aware about the swine flu invasion creating a major stir in the whole world in the past few days. You see, it has been lined up with SARS and those bird flu sickness thus airports and other public areas are being monitored and being warned about this infecting sickness. Of course, people are now being so particular with this commotion, that is why those who can afford to buy get themselves and their families swine flu kits to prevent the death causing flu to get into ones household. And for those who came from countries that has been declared being run out by the said flu, they are being isolated and givenswine flu kits in order to make sure, just so you know.
But sometimes, the news are the one that causes stir and paranoia to people because instead of being not bothered at all, people tends to freak out because of the news being upscale instead of the real deal. Of course, we all want to be protected and all, but stick to the facts and not over publicise about it. And I hope the government allot some funds in order to give out swine flu kits to those people who just came back from different countries before really entering our country. A prevention that is viewable and can really protect a lot of our countrymen.

online savings

Do you ever wonder how our business are being calculated and manipulated? I mean, do you also boggle your mind with all the computations in your monthly billing statement like me? Would you believe that I even have to ask my friend for all the computations that are stated on my billing and even on my pay slip every pay day when I still working and is still qualified for a loan provided by my previous company. If only, we have this visual studio team foundation server, a system that provides team foundation server workgroup. maybe it wouldn't hard for us all to do all the system project works and all. Because sometimes, or most of the times, we wanted to make sure what we are paying and all its add ons and interests, and admit it or not, there are times that I even forgot how much is the interest and how it is being computed on the loaned amount that I received. And also, there are also some incidents that the system of the company accidentaly create errors and overlook on the items on the billing and system errors.That is why it is advisable to adopt an effective project server hosting. And we would not want that, for it can create a much larger problem in the next coming statement. So it is better to make sure that the amount we need to pay is exact and correct to what is supposed to be paid.

the radio wave

I know I mentioned about this great site of HDradio.com that features a new radio broadcasting system that can practically make your ordinary fm station sounds like your playing a cd! yes, that crisp and clear. All you need to do is just upgrade your am and fm radio stations to Polk Audio I-sonic ES2 . It is a digital radio actually, being run on the under ground antenna and not a satellite one that is prone to distortation and all. I heard that this is the most in demand thing in a lot of states because its like having a Crystal-clear reception all the time. One example of this are the Florida radio stations uses this kind of system because this is more advisable to their location since they are prone to rains and storms thus making it hard for them to receive signals thru satellite way, and underground antenna makes the solution to their crisp resolution to signals of their fm and am radio. Actually, this post regarding radio station reminds me of my younger years, when my grandparents used to search for new country music stations for their Sunday sound trips! Something that I also look forward too when the husband and I gets old... you know, just spending mornings and afternoons at the veranda while listening to the music while holding hands and talking about our life back...

Why Exercise is Better?!

1. Exercise changes your metabolism
Physical activity changes the energy equilibrium (your metabolism) of your body by increasing the amount of energy your body needs every day.

2. Cardio burns calories
One pound of fat is equal to 3500 calories. So to lose weight you need a calorie deficiency of 500 a day to lose a pound a week (500 x 7 days = 3500). It's better to eliminate calories with exercise because restricting food can actually lower your metabolism.

3. Activity breeds more activity
Studies show that individuals who exercise are generally more active throughout the day.

4. Working out builds muscle
You can increase muscle mass and the size of your muscle fiber by exercising (especially weight bearing activity). In order to nourish these fibers the body uses calories from fat that are stored in the body. As your energy requirements go up, you burn more fat during exercise and all day long. So the more muscle you have, the more calories your body burns, the faster you lose weight.

wholesome scrubs!

Yesterday, we went to our daughter's pediatrician for her scheduled booster vaccine shot and I was well, surprised to see those clinic staff to be wearing uniformed print scrub tops ! it was really cute! the husband and I find it so neat because all of them are wearing their scrubs, and the kids at the clinic were fascinated by them because of the nice prints. Even our daughter forgot her fear for her doctor when she sees the staffs being friendly and all. Actually, I heard that more and more hospitals, clinics and other medical institution are making a big leap from the old school white hospital uniforms to those funky and cute scrubs. Basically because it creates a happy feeling to the surrounding and can really make patients brighten up, their mood for example when they sees nice uniforms. That is why, landau medical scrubs are everywhere! Suppliers are making their waves to the hospitals offering their samples and the likes. But of course, there are companies that are set to offer the nicest uniforms in the market today, www.scrubsandbeyond.com is one good example of an online shop that sells out scrubs, print scrub jackets and other stuffs. My sister who will be taking up her clinical OJT is bound to look for uniforms and it is where she found a lot of good buys at an affordable price too!

radio sounds!

Actually, I used to work as a radio disc jockey in one of the fm local radio stations near us, it was not a dream job for me you know, but since I was just a newly graduate whose sort of afraid to try my luck at the huge corporate world, I decided to test the waters of broadcasting :D And guess what? I had fun! so much fun that I forgot my other responsibilities, I fully enjoyed my spot at the limelight for more than a year actually. There I was trained to do hosting and events organizing. But what I really love about it are the technical stuff in the dj's booth, song tagging , lapping and spiels before and after songs while fiddling with the hundreds of control buttons in front of me were some of my challenges. It was freaky at first because I do not know anything about the life in media and broadcasting, but after some time, I get the hang of it and basically got used to it.
Anyways, speaking of fm and radio, do you know that there is now the Jensen JiMS 525i , the high definition digital radio that can make the fm station sounds as if you are playing a cd and the am frequency can sound like fm! Nice right? imagine being able to listen to radio station with clear and crisp reception without any audio distortion, it'll be a great hit for sure!
So if you wanted to know more about this ground antenna based radio, you can check out HDradio.com site.

The C craving

I can still vividly remember when I was in my first year in my previous company, I really envy my office mates who have their own credit cards, I wanted to have one of my own, to buy things that iIwant specially the pricey ones. it was so nice seeing those people in line for the cashier in malls and other establishments that just keeps on showing their plastic cards.
until i was able to get approved by one credit company with a little credit limit, i was so excited that i almost exceeded my limit! i buy this and that like a drunken office girl. and my bill came, what?! that much to pay?! oh no... all of a sudden another card came, and it features a lot of super detailed functions and capable of balance transfers. i grab the opportunity thus making my monthly bills so reachable.
sometimes getting a numerous cards can be such a great help in case of emergency, but also never forget to be a wise user so that you'll never get into trouble in the future!

summer sandals!

I have been scouring the mall the last few times I went for a nice summer sandals, something that we all need this time of the year! Well, not that we have this plan for a summer getaway or something, it's just that, I wanted to have a new pair of lovely slippers to flaunt, perfect to pair up with shorts and skirt. Although there are quite a number of pairs in my shoe rack, sometimes I feel that something is still terribly missing in one point or another. And just like now, it's summer and we all need a very light and comfortable pairs to wear wherever we go. That is why, I've been looking the right one for me to buy. And here are some of my likes, taken from zappos.com a very nice site that sells out shoes for every ages! Actually the selections that I got are not only good for beach walks but also great for daily basis, like going to the mall and likes.

fancy ring!

Have you seen this super famous celebrity female flaunting her super fine engagement ring? It was one of the latest news a few weeks ago, when her long time boy friend proposed to her during her birthday. Since I love showbiz buzz, I grabbed a magazine with the proposal story of the two. I read about how his fiance,search and find his way to the 'it' ring from all the beautiful and expensive jewelry rings there is. Actually, a friend of them were the one who helped him find the most discount jewelry that he will give to her beloved woman. Since diamonds, even if it is black diamonds is tagged to be the woman's best friend, the fiance want to have the most stunning if not the most expensive ring for him to give. And yes, true enough, the engagement ring is not that big, but it was lovely! and indeed sparkling even from afar! It's like shouting to the world that it is indeed a very rare and expesive! With the press release price of one million! Super expensive, I must say. And she is one very lucky lady every single gal is envying right now, and yes even the married one, maybe. Someday, when money wouldn't be a problem, I would also want to have a real and sparkling diamond in my finger! Would you believe that I am actually learning about this great gem already? maybe because I'm so curious about this expensive stone and I wanted to learn on how to know if its real or fake.

File Safety

My sister came to me the other night and ask about this File Extension ID, I found myself mouth open with nothing to blurb. Turn out, this thing has been in the web for sometime now but unfortunately, I was too busy to notice or take some moments to learn more about it. If my memory serves me right, a friend even asked me once if I am interested into getting this File Extension ID services. Something, that she said I might need especially with all the hackers and ill minded techy individuals are all lurking into different sites and trying their luck with fraud and online identity theft. Of course, we all want to be safe and secure right?!
That is why, it is very advisable to get this File Extension ID for your every files. I learned that with this, nobody outside the net will be able to get into opening your files and data once this id has been attached to it. Sounds great isn't?!

Print Locked

Holy Week is just around the corner and people everywhere are already in their vacation mode as early as now, even my friends requested for days of leave in order to have a long week of stress free holiday. As for me and my family, we always make it a point to never leave our home and basically keep quiet for most of the days of the Holy week, it is the time for contemplating and repentance that is why we try to do so to follow the ways of our religion. Although we usually went out on Holy Thursdays to pay visit to thirteen churches, thus making our home so prone to theft and ill minded individuals. Actually, this is the time those un-soulful people tries their luck with their crimes, when people went out of their abode for some time. When the neighbors too are all gone and no one will be able to report the crime those filthy minded individuals did.
That is why, I sometimes think of getting those keyless lock for our home, and eventually for my parent's place as well. You see, I've been hearing a lot of raves regarding this security product and for me, it is one hell of good buy! Bit pricey, but the security it can give you whenever youre out of your house is really something. I mean, with this kind of lock for your house, you wouldn't have to worry on carrying and even losing your keys because the only thing you need to use is your own fingerprint! And yeah, it is very high end! :D

I've been very busy with so many things during the last few days, thus making my online friends missed me, well, that is how I convey their messages to me. Anyways, what am I been doing lately? you see, being a full time mother and wife requires a lot of time and energy, and yes I am actually running after those two in order to fulfill my job. But of course, there are some personal issues that is better not told here that I've been contemplating on, although some few good friends already you knew it and I am thankful for having super understanding and supportive to me.

Well, aside from the busyness in the outside world, I have my shares of online shopping still! Thanks to my friends who still updates me me with so many stuff on sale over the net! Lately I've been so into searching formal attire to casual clothing, something I can wear to the scheduled parties in the next few months. And since it is summer, new set of wardrobe wouldn't hurt the budget, well,that's what I suppose though. Although I make sure to lurk and buy on sites that only offers the best of ever item, meaning it must be affordable yet very classy and stylish! And one particular thing that I like are the sexy shorts which is so in today! The best thing to wear in the beach and even on casual night outs and dates :)
