humidifiers

Posted by Jean Grey in Random Thoughts - (0 Comments)

These days with the dry heat and changing weather, it is easy to get sick and even catch an allergy. So I recommend getting humidifiers for your home. These gadgets will help you clean your home air as well as ensure that you get moist air that will help you get rid of your allergies. There are various designs and styles for these gadgets that will fit any home. So if you want to have a good health, it might be a good idea to keep invest in things like humidifiers, especially if you have kids who are more prone to allergens and tend to get sick more than adults. Installing this equipment is as easy as plugging it in and you’re done. You just solved the problem of dry air leading to dry skin, sinusitis, headaches, even asthma and common colds. Should you decide to get a humidifier, ensure that you get the best quality, it should have a water tank that is protected from bacteria, disperse clean mist and should have a control for the exact humidity level you need. You can also get one with an ionizer and you’ll get a double purpose humidifier that will help your health even more.

need RV repairs?

Posted by Jean Grey in Random Thoughts - (0 Comments)

A motor home is a great investment. You can use it for a vacation or for long drives, you can even live in it. But maintaining this vehicle can be quite difficult and expensive. RV repairs can be very expensive for its owners and a manufacturer’s warranty can be quite tedious as its components are many and it has different expiry dates and various coverage as well, so it is quite difficult to keep up with what you need to renew during what time. And this is where a mechanical breakdown insurance comes in, it’s a better way to take care of your RV, it is an insurance and not a warranty and so it comes with everything that comes with an insurance, so you can be secured with your motor home. Some of these insurance even provide reimbursement for hotel, dining and car rentals just in case your RV breaks down in the middle of a trip. You might want to consider this type of insurance for your RV, so you can rest easy when taking your trip in your motor home, so should it break down, you wouldn’t have any problems since you can simply call your insurance, have your vehicle fixed and get reimbursed for extra expenses as well.

hitch bike racks

Posted by Jean Grey in Random Thoughts - (0 Comments)

We always loved to go mountain biking, out on the country road for a cool nature ride plus the exercise is good for us, but it was always a hassle going up to roof of our SUV to lug the big bikes down and to lug them back on when it’s time to go home, but if we wanted to enjoy our hobby of mountain biking, it was something we had to live with or just stop biking, that’s not something we wanted to do. One day we biked with a few friends and one of our friends who biked with us, lugged his bike behind his SUV and not on top, making it easier to lug to and from the vehicle. We found that he had installed hitch bike racks on his SUV, and it was a great way to bring our bikes with us to the country. And we had one installed on our SUV and it’s great, we didn’t need to climb on top of the SUV again just to get our bikes plus it looks good as well.

So if you’re into mountain biking and needs a good way to carry your bikes on your SUV then these racks will surely be a big help.

I have always wanted to study again, add to my knowledge and have a certificate to prove it as well as get the chance to get ahead in my job. A degree would surely help me. The problem was I didn’t have the time to go to school, attend classes, and spend time inside the classroom because of my busy schedule with family and work. Here is where technology came in; I was able to get an online business degree and study at my own leisure at home and online. All I needed was my computer and an internet connection and getting a degree was a breeze. It’s just like being in a real school and the good thing is I get to attend ‘class’ when I want to, at night, over the weekend, on a day off or whenever I have free time. These degrees are actually custom-made for business minded professionals like myself and getting a degree surely helped me get that much needed promotion from work. You can get a bachelor’s degree or a master’s degree from many online schools, just find the best one that fits your needs and you will surely get that degree online and get to the top of the corporate ladder.

We were looking for a sturdy drum to store our water especially during the time when water was scarce. We wanted something sturdy and durable, one that wouldn’t rust since we were storing water. We contemplated getting plastic drums but the thing is that, one wrong move and the plastic could crack and all the precious liquid will spill out. We found that stainless steel barrels were the best way to go. It’s easy to clean and it’s non-toxic as well. Who would’ve thought that these barrels will really come in handy? Aside from water, there are a host of other things that can be placed safely in these containers. Since it can be customized, we had ours customized to have a handle on the side for easy carriage. It’s really a wonderful thing that we found these barrels. We are also able to seal it off, ensuring that everything in inside the barrel is clean and safe from contamination. When transferring the barrels spills can be avoided as well. So should you be looking for a great container to put your liquids in, then you might want to consider these stainless steel barrels for your liquid storage needs.

What Matters Most

what matters most  What Matters Most pictureAt last, I already got the book I ordered from OMflit.com yesterday.

Two weeks ago while I was looking for magazines at National Bookstore, this book got my attention because of the title “What Matters Most…” I was stuck there for a moment while staring at it. Then suddenly I started to think about everything that happened in the past months. I’ve been trying to avoid thinking about it but at that very moment I already lose control… Suddenly, I begun to feel the tears running down my face. I still managed to walked away as fast as I could so my friends who were just behind me would not see me. I just pretended that I was looking for something and shouted “Just wait for me outside!”

garage door opener

Posted by Jean Grey in Home Improvement - (0 Comments)

Some people think that purchasing garage door opener is easy. For others it may not play a big role in their lifestyle but I personally give importance in having the best one in our own garage for our convenience and safety. Many companies are selling different types of garage door opener, but I always ask what specific model we can use that will also fit in my high standards.

My mother will always insist to buy the cheapest one because to her, they are all just the same door opener. But after long use, some products tend to break so easily because of poor quality and my mom would always scream whenever our garage door got stuck up. We can’t do anything but to have it repaired or buy a new one. To avoid such hassles, I decided to call a professional who knows everything about garage door that could help us choose the best product that we are looking for.

After a long discussion we finally acquired a good quality garage door opener that will last for a long time and fits just right for our budget.

Fireworks

Watching the fireworks display last night makes me feel so alive!

Salamat sis for draggin’ me to MOA. Kahit sobrang traffic, kahit sobrang nakakapagod magdrive pero everything that happened last night was totally worth it!

And to you… I’m feelin’ much better now… Thank you! Ok na rin ako.

“You don’t have to feel like a waste of space
You’re original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow…”

I don’t know if it’s just me, or my dad is looking so much older now. Perhaps it’s because of his age. He’s already a senior citizen, you know. But I guess, he aged faster after he got sick. I really wish he’d gain back the strength he used to have, especially when he jogs and exercise a lot, plus do various things and keep moving.
Now, with just a little movement, or whenever we go to the mall, he easily gets dizzy.
He probably feel stressed out too, because he can no longer do the things he want to do. He can’t even play computer games that much anymore.
He looks 5 years older than he looked a few months before. I even tell him that he needs to buy the best wrinkle cream so that he would look younger, because his skin has also changed after he got sick, and he also have a lot of fine lines and wrinkles now.
I even plan to let him do some cleansing, plus switch to a strict fruit and vegetables diet, even just for a couple of weeks, just to detox. He kind of need it, after taking a lot of maintenance medicines.
I pray that one day, my dad would wake up feeling great again, so I can take him out for a short trip to the spa, get a massage, and if he would want it, maybe get a facial treatment too.

social networking

Posted by Jean Grey in Random Thoughts - (0 Comments)

A lot of people are crazy about social networking sites, most especially Facebook. That’s a fact! One of the millions, is my friend Che. She can’t live without logging on to Facebook everyday. Anywhere she goes, whether she’s accessing it at home, in the office, at the mall, etc. She’s dying to go online and chat with her friends, officemates, relatives, etc. Even if she has nothing to do, or no one to check out, she would log in for no reason at all.
Recently, she’s been thinking about buying a new gadget. She even wish that she’d have payday advance a few weeks before the actual date, so she can buy the new Samsung Galaxy Tab. And guess what? It’s all because she wants to be able to access Facebook, because she’s no longer contented with just using her phone.
Oh well, I can’t blame her. With her kind of busy lifestyle, her only outlet is connecting with her friends, or play her favorite games. I wonder If she’d get even more addicted, with her new gadget coming up. I just hope she’d learn to somehow control it, because, sometimes, it’s not normal anymore. Peace, Che!

I have found out something really interesting today. It’s about the good effects of Chromium to our body. According to a recent study, Chromium can actually help make us feel full, and crave for food less, it also says that taking chromium supplements can actually lead to reduced cravings for food that are rich in both fats and sugars. Isn’t that interesting enough for you? It is for me, it’s like great news, because if you eat foods or take supplements that contains Chromium, it can actually help manage weight and cravings, plus it’s easier to slim down. The research also showed that taking the supplement also significant improvements in countering depression.
So, knowing this, I made a quick research. Aside from the supplement itself, what food can I eat that contains Chromium? I found out that the most common fruits and vegetables we eat from day to day, actually contains the said element. And few of them are the ff:

Broccoli 1/2 cup (11mcg)
Grape Juice 1 cup (8mcg)
Whole wheat English muffin 1 (4mcg)
Potatoes 1 cup (3mcg)
Garlic 1teaspoon (3mcg)
Red Wine 5 ounces (1mcg-13mcg)
Orange Juice 1 cup (2mcg)
Turkey Breast 3 ounces (2mcg)
Basil 1tablespoon (2mcg)

I hope that you also find this little trivia for the day, helpful and interesting. Let’s all work on improving our health and well-being.

Back in the days, I never really paid much attention to home renovation, fixes, and makeovers. But just recently, after seeing a lot of photographs showcasing homes, kitchen, bathrooms, etc. It awakened a part of me that wanted to do something, like enhance the way our home looks now. I saw this great looking home, and the rest of the interior. From the bedrooms, kitchen, living area, and bathrooms. I liked what they did with the design, most especially the glass mosaic tile art in particular.
I also wonder how much it would cost for the renovation of our bathroom upstairs.
We don’t really have a huge area, but I think, with the right plan, we could eliminate some unwanted elements, make the bathroom more spacious, plus we can utilize the rest of the area by installing a bath tub. I’m sure my dad will be happy about it. He can relax and stay longer in the shower. And when we’re going out, he wouldn’t have to worry about the three of us sharing the same bathroom, downstairs.

One of the things I want to have, is a fair skin complexion with no blemishes ever. I want to have a skin quality that’s like that of a baby’s. I’m not sure if that’s still possible, but with the power of science and technology, plus all the advancements in cosmetics, perhaps it’s very achievable.
For a few years, I had problems with pimples suddenly appearing on my face, and all the rashes and allergies, due to food. I really hate it and I wish they’d just go away completely and never come back. I’m so glad that I never had acne breakout for quite awhile now, and I really hope and pray hard that it will continue to be like this forever.
I would do anything just to have a flawless skin forever. I’m already working on slimming down too, back to the old ideal body figure that I had a few years back. I’m so determined to work on both, and hopefully, after all the trying, I will have the best results imaginable.

Nitrix – workout supplement

Posted by Jean Grey in Health - (0 Comments)

My friend Julius is happy and gay, but he looks very manly, and you wouldn’t have a clue that he is what he is, if you don’t know him personally. If he wouldn’t talk, you would really mistake him for a straight guy. A lot of people do. We’ve been friends since college days, so I can say, I know him pretty well now. He even tell me about his crushes, etc.
Anyway, he’s really attracted to men who are not only good looking but also possess a great muscular body. I told him that he should also workout and take supplements like nitrix, then work on having a great skin complexion. For sure, he would gain the attention of those guys, who might also have the same preference as him. I am supportive of his sexuality, because I believe in equality, and all people should be treated with respect. Whatever his preference may be, may it be a girl or a man, as long as he is happy, that’s all that matters. His parents have learned to accept him, the way he is too. I hope he would be successful in improving his image, most especially with achieving the kind of physique he long wanted to have.

urban life

Posted by Jean Grey in Random Thoughts - (0 Comments)

My mom is going home to her Province in Bicol. It’s been such a long time since she went there to visit. She’s been really busy at home, and with taking care of me and dad, that she couldn’t find time to travel. But finally, this March, she will be able to visit her mom, relatives and friends.
My cousins are asking for presents from me. They said, I should consider it as a gift for them for all the occasions I’ve missed in the past. As usual, I won’t be able to make it again this time, because someone has to be left behind to look after dad. So I will just buy some urban clothes, groceries, and other delicacies, for mom to bring home to them as pasalubong. I’m sure they’d be glad to see mom again, and to receive the presents that I will send them. I can almost imagine the smiles on their faces, most especially my grandma and cousins. How I wish that next time she visits my grandma, I will be able to go with her. For now, I will just send them my love and regards through my mom.

Minsan isip tayo ng isip ng paraan kung papaano natin mapapasaya at kung papaano natin matutulungan ang taong minamahal natin ng sobra…
