One More Chance with Bea Alonzo and John Lloyd Cruz

I am really happy to see the whole movie starring John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo titled "One More Chance" it's been released for awhile but I just had the time to watch it right now. Wow, it is truly a wonderful movie for those who want to be in love all over again. This is a great movie to watch during Valentines Day.

I was crying the whole time while watching this movie. It really captures our emotions and how important to be loved and to give our love unconditionally. John Lloyd and Bea Alonzo are truly one of the best love team in the Philippines local cinema.

Words You Should Say Everyday

These are the words that you should say to help you boost your mood.

1. Saying "hello"-Studies show that just smiling and saying “Hello” to a stranger gives you an instant mood-boost. What a concept! - You might even have a conversation to help pass the time! Also, since good moods are contagious, you might just make their day, too.

2. Thank You- In fact, you can’t say “Thank you” often enough. So, even if you feel someone’s doing you a service that’s just part of their job – like handing you a menu, or bringing another size to your dressing room - thanking them will give both of you a mood boost.

3. Please- Saying please can instantly turn a demand into a request. Studies show that people are much happier to comply with a request instead of an order.

4. How about “Here, take my seat”or “Let me help you with that.” Studies show that giving someone a hand – even if it just takes a split second - makes you feel like you’ve done your good deed for the day. So, if you see someone who’s elderly, pregnant or struggling in any way, don’t just stand there watching – step up to the plate and do something.


5. “I love you.” That’s not a phrase reserved just for your spouse. Don’t forget to say it to your kids, your parents, your grandma, and your good friends. Bottom line: It’s easy to assume that people “just know” we love them, but just hearing those little words is a proven stress reliever and mood booster.

So if you haven't said these things for awhile, start it today. Remember: "Practice makes perfect".

I have heard this article from DJ Tesh and you can read this article at DumbLittleMan website.

Trusting is One Thing, Believing is another Thing

Actually, I've been noticing for the past months that there are a lot of companies that went bankrupt. Companies such as Mervyns clothing store, Circuit City is going out of business, one of our local restaurant here called Pastagos Italian Gourmet, Steak and Ale, Bennigans, Nothing but Noodles,fast food restaurant here and there and many more.

A lot of American people are jobless nowadays. Who would have thought that it will end up like this? I keep on praying and hoping that the US economy will go back to its normal pace. Life has been hard for most people, whether we admit it or not.

Tony's Hairstylist!

He does not like when his hair is long, well we cut his hair awhile back. He always has one style and that's like the military style hair cut it's short and neat. I help him shave his head and trim the outside part. He is actually satisfied with the result.

I Will Love You Till Eternity

Last night was really great for me and my hubby Tony. We went to Olive Garden to have our dinner. It feels good to have time for each other even with our busy schedule at work. We started going to Olive Garden Restaurant on our First Wedding Anniversary last 2007 and we continue the tradition every special occasion such as birthdays, our wedding anniversary, and Valentines day.

I am thankful for the wonderful union between me and my husband. Over all we are reminiscing what was like when we first chat online, first meet in person and after we got married and our life together. We always promise each other to work out things no matter what. We are both grateful in so many ways and we thank God for the many blessings He showered upon us.

Thanks!

We were able to save money after we use the free code coupon for the money transfer that we did last night. We save 12 dollars for one single transaction. I would like to thank all my friends at The World of Filipinas for sharing the site where you can find the free codes for all kinds of money transfer. I am very happy after I talk to my mother and she told me that she already got the money. It was for emergency purposes and I am happy that I was able to help them in anyway.

Time Is Gold!

I've been busy lately especially at work as well as my husband. We forget to take the Christmas tree back to the storage room. We have to take out all the Christmas lighting stuffs as well as the Christmas Ornaments. The bad thing is that it seems that we don't have enough time to do all these things in one day. Hopefully, this weekend we will be able to organize the storage room and the living room and the whole apartment. There are a lot of things that we need to get rid off.

Avoiding Germs and Viruses

When it comes to fighting colds and flu, we’re outnumbered! According to Yahoo News, if you put all the people in the world on one side of a scale and all the bacteria on the other, the germs would outweigh us by more than ten to one! That doesn’t even include viruses! Here's the to do list to fight back:

1. Wash your hands- every chance you get! If you do that and avoid touching your face, you’ll stay sneeze-cough-and sniffle free - even if you are outnumbered.

2. Clean your keyboard- keyboards contain more bacteria than a public toilet seat! Since many people eat at their desks, keyboard bugs have a greater chance of getting to your face and into your body.

3. Wear gloves at the gym- you can encounter cold germs on three out of four pieces of weight-lifting equipment, and half of the aerobic equipment like treadmills and stair masters.

4. Carry your own reading material- Cold and flu viruses can survive on dry surfaces - like those magazines in your doctor’s office - for several days and bacteria like E. coli can live for months. If you can’t resist those back issues of Reader’s Digest, bring some hand sanitizer.

Thanks to DJ Tesh for these amazing tips!

Why People Call Off Their Wedding?

1. When people are not really in love- if the emotional connection isn’t there, you’re smart to call off your wedding NOW.

2. Fear of Commitment- it’s naive to think you’ll go the rest of your life without being attracted to another man or woman. A ring on your finger won’t stop you from finding someone “good-looking.” However, if you still feel the need to ACT on your attraction, at the expense of your commitment, you’re better off staying single.

3. Religious Differences- Many couples get engaged believing their love will conquer all obstacles. Once the wedding planning begins, they realize they can’t agree on a church or synagogue in which to hold the ceremony! Or they argue about which religion to raise their future children. It's better to settle your faith issues before you settle on your vows.

4. They Idealize their marriage too much- some people believe relationships work just like a fairy tale – where once you’re married, you’ll both live happily ever after! If their fiancee doesn’t live up to those lofty standards, they think the relationship is doomed. So if your fiancée fills your most important needs, don’t be so quick to call it quits!

From Dr. Patricia Allen, who wrote the book : Getting I Do!

If You Have It, Flaunt It





In every woman's closet it is possible that you will find a couple of pairs of sexy mini skirts. It is already part of a woman's day to day wardrobe apparel. For instance, you will see women at work, at school, on the street, at the mall, etc, that are wearing very seductive and sultry looking skirts.

When I was in the Philippines we used to wear our school uniform; which was composed of a blouse and a skirt above the knee. A lot of the students actually preferred mini skirts. They said that they are more comfortable in wearing a shorter skirt. My classmate used to joke with me by saying " the shorter the better".

Sexy mini skirts can be paired with sandals, high heels shoes or even sexy seductive boots. You can even experiment by pairing your sexy mini skirts with leggings, stockings or wear them with your soft, curvaceous bare legs. I have noticed that when women wear sexy skirts, especially the tight and very fitted ones, their confidence is very noticeable. They walk differently, and you can see that they are very confident and they look great with what they wear.

The best way to find that sexy mini skirt of your dream is to visit FlirtyLingerie website. There you can find different style of skirts. Their skirt ranges from sexy mini skirts down to the micro mini skirts, plaid mini skirts, tight skirts, short skirts and more. You can choose from various colors and sizes. The above picture will speak for itself.

Disguising the Shape of Your Face

If you want to make a round face look longer and thinner it's all about shading. Darker colors make things look smaller. Contouring your cheeks and your jaw with a darker shade will help give the illusion of a thinner, longer face and disguise the round shape.

Using a bronzer or a brown tone on your cheeks and jaw will dramatically change the shape of you face, but you have to be careful you are using color that match your skin tone and look natural; otherwise you will defeat your purpose.

I've read this at Life Tips website.

Quit Smoking Before Its Too Late

More reason you need to stop or quit smoking. You will most likely have lung cancer which is pretty common for smokers, wheezing, hacking or dying early. Other compelling reasons you need to quit smoking are:

1. Blindness- Smokers are four times more likely to become blind because of age-related muscular degeneration than those who’ve never smoked. This condition is severe and progressive, and you’ll go blind because you can’t use the part of your retina that allows for “straight-ahead” activities - such as reading, sewing, and even driving. Dr. Simon P. Kelly, an ophthalmic surgeon with Bolton Hospitals in the U.K., says one out of every four cases of blindness caused by muscular degeneration can be directly linked to current or past exposure to cigarettes.

2. Mom's don't kill your baby- Moms who smoke DOUBLE the risk of sudden infant death syndrome, or SIDS. It gets worse. Researchers in Europe examined nearly a thousand cases of SIDS and they found that less than half of all deaths were attributed to infants sleeping on their stomachs or sides, as is widely thought to be the case. In fact, about 16% were linked to bed sharing – and this was particularly risky when the mother smoked. All in all, maternal smoking alone DOUBLES the SIDS risk, but the risk was 17 times greater for babies who shared a bed with mothers who smoked.

3. Alzheimer's Disease. As people age, the rate of mental decline is up to five times faster in smokers than in nonsmokers. Dr. A. Ott, a medical microbiologist with Erasmus University Medical Center in the Netherlands, says smoking puts into effect a vicious cycle of artery damage, clotting and increased risk of stroke – which causes mental decline. Bottom line: Cigarettes are harmful to the brain.

Tasty Treats That Can Cure What Ails You!

1. Rice pudding can even out your blood sugar levels- Rice pudding is made with a dash of cinnamon, which is enough to activate your insulin receptors, and reduce unhealthy fluctuations in blood sugar levels by 29%. That alone helps prevent irritability, and makes it less likely you’ll need an afternoon nap.

2. Hot chocolate. Why? Because it helps protect your teeth! The tannins in hot chocolate counteract the teeth-rotting properties of sugar. Cocoa beans also contain theobromine – a chemical that hardens the calcium on your teeth. In fact, studies show it’s better than fluoride at preventing cavities.

3. Also, gingerbread helps you warm up faster. Gingerbread contains chemicals called “gingerols” which dilate the blood vessels in your extremities. So, if you’ve been outside in the snow, eating gingerbread will speed circulation to your frosty fingers and toes and help you reach room temperature in no time.

4. Candy canes can fix an upset tummy! With all the fancy, high-fat foods we scarf up during the holidays, it’s no wonder that 30 percent of us suffer from stomach aches and other gastro-intestinal woes. Peppermint candy canes are sweet relief. They contain peppermint oil, which soothes the muscles of the intestinal wall, reducing painful cramps and nausea.

I got this tips after listening with Mr. John Tesh on his radio program at 93.1 Kiss FM.

Energy Efficiency Tips

Do you want to make your Gas bill low? Here are the following tips to help you achieve your goal to minimize your Gas bill:

1. Set the thermostat between 65 and 70 degrees during the winter, and 58 degrees when away from the house for more than a few hours.

2. Turn down thermostats automatically without sacrificing comfort by installing an automatic setback or programmable thermostat.

3. Change or clean furnace filters once a month during the heating season. Furnaces consume less energy if they "breathe" more easily.

4. Warm air rises, so use registers to direct warm air-flow across the floor.

5.Close vents and doors in unused rooms and close dampers on unused fireplaces.

6. Set water heater temperatures at 120 degrees. By lowering the thermostat on the water heater to 120 degrees, families can cut water heating bills without sacrificing comfort.

7. Install water- flow restrictors in shower heads and faucets.

8. If radiators are located near cold walls, place a sheet of aluminum foil between the radiator and the wall to reflect heat back into the room.

9. Run washing machines and clothes dryers with a full load.

10. On a sunny days, open draperies and blinds to let the sun's warmth in. Close them at night to insulate against cold air outside.

I got this tips from Texas Gas Service Company.
