sticky note?

One afternoon i was surprised to see a big note posted on my CPU. I thought it was a note at first glance as i was approaching my table. Nope it wasn't! It was a leave from one of my teammates. He could have just left it on top of my table or under the mouse pad. He said he wanted to make sure i get to see it and have it signed. Clever eh! :) Well, i sure have no excuse of not seeing it.

attention De La Hoya and Mayweather fans

I think i already mentioned before that i was never a boxing fan. I hate to watch two people punching each other leaving scarred faces. All the more that i couldn't understand why other people get too excited cheering while watching. I hate it when my father tuned the TV and never allow us to switch channels because he is all hooked to the boxing bout. All that changed when i unintentionally watched a bout between de la Hoya and Mayweather. I was like these two people can't be boxers! They're way too good looking to ruin their faces. But of course, real boxing fanatics would see the fight more than their faces but the action they bring. From then on, i was hooked to boxing. The latest news i read was a real suprise. I thought that was de la Hoya's last fight but dear fans, watch out! He's up again for a match with no other than Mayweather. It's going to be a sure hit and an adrenaline ticking fight. Be sure not to miss the event and book your De La Hoya/Mayweather tickets now! I can't wait to watch them on the ring again. I sure will have to watch this on TV. Who's going to win? Well, let's all wait and see.

i was in the hospital...


Yup! I was in the hospital last 3 weeks ago. I woke up to a severe stomachache thursday morning so I took antacids but i was never relieved. I decided to get myself a medical checkup. 'Twas my second attempt actually because i was in the OPD last time. I was dismissed because i was relieved when the doctor arrived - meaning the medicine took effect. Last March 13 was the real one. My stomache was impossibly hurting. I had to be admitted and went through some tests to include endoscopy and ultrasound. The endoscopy was not painful but uncomfortable. It lasted for about 3-5 minutes but it felt like forever! I was holding on to my dear life while the tube was inserted through my mouth down to the esophagus to see the insides of my intestines. I shed tears while it was done, really. Fortunately my intestines were fine but was full of acid. I can see the yellowish substance on the monitor. At least the doctor was a joker, helped ease my fear. And the nurses whom i thought were bitches at first were actually very very nice. They kept on calming me down. Turned out i was having reflux esophagitis and bile gastritis. Now i have to be careful of what i eat - avoid all sorts of vitamin Cs, citrus fruits, milk, etc. But because i also had an ultrasound of my whole abdomen, the doctors found out some crystals (i wish these crystals are saleable hehe) on both of my kidneys and a stone in my gallbladder which is non obstructing at present. Which means I have to be more extra careful in what i eat should i want not to be bugged by the stone! Avoid all fatty foods!!! Basically, I should be on a strict food diet now. Avoid all salty foods, etc, etc. It's an ordeal. I was discharged from the hospital Saturday afternoon after much convincing moments with the doctors because i was already bored. And eating "lugaw" in all of my meals was not either helping. See, i'm that stubborn. Soft diet, soft diet for at least a month but just when i arrived home - i ate rice! :P And what's the saddest part of all these? I can no longer eat my ever favorite mango fruit :(

Thanks to my friends who visited me in the hospital and for the well wishers. Special thanks to Macelle & Jona for processing my LOA.

Note: It was my first hospital admittance. First time mo? :D

debt management

Who wants to be debt free? I do! Isn't it nice to wake up not thinking of all your debts to pay? I sure would want to have that feeling. Are you in the same boat as I am? I've come across this site that tackles with dealing debts or how to overcome debts. Are you struggling with debt? Get help. Apply for an IVA. What's an IVA you might ask? IVA means Individual Voluntary Arrangement that will help you clear your debts as it will cut the amount you owe; will freeze the interest you pay; will legally prevent creditors taking action against you. An IVA is likely to be your best route to becoming debt free if you don't have the equity in your property or a big enough surplus - to consolidate debt using a re-mortgage. It is a legally binding agreement with your creditors that will be overseen and supervised by licensed insolvency practitioners who are also chartered accountants. If you owe more than you think you can repay, or you are worried about becoming bankrupt, a ClearDebt IVA could lower your total debts, ensure you pay no more interest and help you become debt-free in five years or less. ClearDebt offers more than just information. ClearDebt can help you set up an IVA, a legally binding agreement which provides greater security.

lipstick anyone?

Really, i'm not much of a make-up fan. However, I do sometimes enjoy a little coloring on my face. Hmnnn, that should sound a relief huh!? A girl should have a little this and that of vanity you know. A dab on my cheek is all i need to let off a doll face. Plus a hint of a lip color. I only get to apply lipstick on my lips in the morning though right before going to the office but you know what? I have quite a few lipsticks with different shades only to collect them! LOL! I don't know, lately, i tend to get attracted to lipsticks but i really don't wear them, at least not all the time. Sometimes, i get confused which shade to apply. LOL! Weird huh.

personal injury claims

Like that of death, accidents and injuries are inevitable in life. It could happen to anyone anytime. Much as we don't like it to happen but it really does happen. Should any untoward incident may happen, it is just but right that we should get personal injury claims to cover all expenses that we may incur. And who is far more experienced about these cases? One name to refer to - Keypoint Legal Services. It is a division of Beresfords Solicitors LLP, a leading law firm regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. You can be sure they will always act with integrity, independence and in the best interest of their clients. Furthermore, their specialist legal team provides honest, professional advice.

What could be possible proof that they are successful in this endeavor? They already have obtained over £180 million in compensation for their clients. And they could do this same thing to you, get the compensation that is lawfully yours. What are these possible accidents? It could be a personal injury that wasn't your fault or an accident at work on the road on holiday or elsewhere or it could be from an industrial related disease like dermatitis or asthma. Whichever the case, just visit their site and get a free, no obligation, assessment of your claim. You can always talk to their specialists.

bad guy!

Are you familiar with the parlor game called paper dance? It is a game where partners fold the newspaper each time after the music stops and then partners step on the folded paper. Winning team is the pair that remains to be standing even with the smallest fold of the paper. Normally, it's the big guy/girl who will be carrying the small guy/girl right? But my officemate was a dork! CLICK the image on the left for you to understand! Hehe! :D

small business financing

I have always heard that being a regular employee alone will not give you financial freedom and stability. One has to have his own business to prosper. Well, that sounds reasonable. So, are you thinking of opening your own business but doesn't have the much needed capital? Capital is one of the major things to consider when starting a business. Need a lift on that aspect? Shove your worries away as EZunsecured will help you through their Small Business Financing strategy. The process is so easy. You don't need to provide a collateral to get approved. Business loans and lines of credit are their specialty. They have easy processing, fast funding and excellent service. So, don't waste your time and apply right now. Start up that dream business of yours now!

trip to Mindanao?

My friends and I are planning to go to Cagayan de Oro this coming April and will try this super extreme (at least to me) white water rafting action. I think i'm gonna puke just by the thought of it. I can't even swim, let alone riding a raft in a raging body of water?!? Ulk! That sure sounds interesting huh but what if i fell and knock my head on the stone? Ulk again! But guess what, i'm still going with the group. I can't miss this outing. I'll find a way to enjoy even if i'm not doing the rafting. Or who knows? I might be convinced when i get there. :) After CDO, we might go to Iligan or Camiguin. I'm excited! :P

leather beds

They say that the bedroom is one if not the most favorite part of the house. Well, why not? I would have to agree with that. It is where you spend almost one third of your day. It is a place of repose and rest. It is the refuge after a long day at work. It is where you can seek comfort at its best. I'm sure you'll love your bedroom even more if it has one of these leather beds from Time4sleep. Browsing through their site, I like best the serenity leather bed. The name itself promises something. We all do want a serene sleep. I also like the toledo king size leather bed. The picture is inviting enough, how much more if you have this piece inside your bedroom. All of the other beds have sleek designs. They look comfortable yet sturdy to last a long time. If you're right now wanting to purchase something for your bedroom, be sure to check out their site. You sure will find something that will fit your bedroom motiff. There are lots of designs and colors to choose from. By the time you have one of the leather beds, it's probably be time for sleep all the time.

holyweek

Holyweek for this year is quite early. It falls on the month of March, that is March 17-23. As early as now, HR personnel is already routing Holy Week 2008 Reporting List. This is done since most associates would file for vacation leaves and enjoy a week long holiday. We can come to work with our civilian clothes within this week which is good coz i hate our tailored uniform :P Also, working hours from Mon-Wed is 8 hours instead of 9.6 hours. Not so much of a difference but it's better. I bet everyone would not feel like working anymore but rather on vacation mode already.
