Are you suffering from addiction? Seek professional help NOW!

My mom is a caffeine addict. I can't imagine how many cups of coffee a day she drinks in a day. I also have some friends who are caffeine addicts, chain smokers and alcoholics. Truth is, I worry about them. When a person continues to use excessive amount of substance (drug, coffee, cigarette, medication or alcohol) is said to suffer from addiction. It is one of the most common causes of premature illness, disability and death in our society. Are you aware that any misuse of alcohol, cigarettes, both illegal and legal drugs and other mood-altering substances can cause mental disorder when not prevented? A person suffering from any form of addiction needs to undergo psychiatric medical treatment, otherwise, their addiction can interfere to the normal functioning which can then lead to behavioral changes that would be undesirable to some people.

According to the surveys, almost 17% of young American population suffered from alcohol or drug or other substance abuse during their lifetimes. Now that's really scary! There are a lot innocent people who die of car accidents caused by drunk driving. It's a serious problem that tragically effects many victims. Don't wait until it happen to you! For effective long term drug rehab, alcohol rehab and Vicodin addiction treatment, consider getting help from executive-recovery.com.

Save Yourself From Danger

Allergies can be life threatening. I have a friend who's allergic to seafoods and one time, she collapsed in front of us after tasting just a little amount of battered shrimp. It was scary. We were clueless of what was happening to her until we found out later on that she has food allergies.


Lack of information about medical conditions can be dangerous. Good thing her sister was with us and provided her an anti-histamine tablet. What if she's just alone or if she's with a crowd who doesn't know about her condition? In an emergency situation such as that, when someone might not be able to talk about the situation, a Medical Alert Jewelry can be a great help. Healthcare professionals will be able to diagnose the ailments and provide effective treatments easily.

Medical IDs come in various forms. You can choose from a wide range of bracelet, necklace, expansion wristbands, watches or sportbands designs. Aside from engraving your medical conditions on your chosen jewelry, anything can be engraved on your medical ID,including:

* Advance directive
* Living will
* Blood type
* Contact lenses
* Difficult intubation
* Emergency contacts (next of kin, doctor, etc.)
* Faith
* Implant (e.g., pacemaker)
* Organ donor
* Transplanted organ
* Stent

Growing Old is Mandatory - Looking Old Is Optional

You can't stop time. Years will pass and you'll grow old and as you grow old, your skins starts to get dry, thin and loses its elasticity. This is what makes you look old. Years ago, the simplest way to get a younger looking skin is to stay out of the sun, eat a balanced diet and avoid stress but things are changing now. With technologies these days, there are many innovative products you can try to bring back that youthful glow you had once, but only few are tested to work.

I worry about getting old. Lately, I'm seeing some wrinkles, warts and age lines (starts at mouth corner and slant down the chin) on my face. I am getting old! Do you also worry about wearing an old face?

Here's the answer to our dilemma. Chantal Ethocyn is a revolutionary product designed to generate the production of elastin fibers. By increasing the number of elastin fibers in the skin, it can restore the skin's firmness. It is based on the Ethocyn, a skin-rejuvenating molecule, which was developed by chemist Chantal Burnison.

It has gained wide recognition as a cosmetic product for its ability to penetrate to the skin's dermis and bring change on the molecular level giving your skin a youthful look and resilience. With its unique properties, it can accomplish what many products try to do but can't. It also works for both men and women. Try it now and reduce the natural effects of aging on your face.

Yeah, growing old is mandatory, I totally agree with that but, looking old and gray is optional.

Smile and the World Smiles With You


A smile can be incredibly infectious and powerful. Wearing a warm smile can draw people to you, affect other people's mood, put them at ease, and even cheer them up. But not just any smile will do, you know, there are false and contempt smiles too and you don't wanna encounter people who wears them, right?

Do you smile often? If not, what's the one thing that hinders you from smiling?

Sad thoughts? Angst? Or is it because your teeth are stained, disfigured, warped and gapped?

If you're one of the many people who's ashamed of smiling and it has caused you to feel like an outsider in this world, you can do something about it! You can visit a cosmetic dentist who can help you stop feeling ashamed and awkward as you begin to shine and sparkle even more than those around you!

If you live Beverly Hills, a place where people smile, dazzle and shine, why not book a consultation with a Beverly Hills cosmetic dentist to help you achieve that Hollywood-glamour smile you desire! Remember a good set of teeth can make you feel more confident and beautiful.


Your Beautiful Face Can Be Your Ticket To Success

Yeah, I agree with the saying "Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder", but I also believe that you should make an effort to make yourself look beautiful in the outside too because it can be your ticket to success! Studies show that if you got the brains, right attitude and a beautiful face, you'll be bombarded with opportunities left and right and I agree with that.

For some people who doesn't have smooth open faces, beautiful skin, tantalizing eyes, graceful movement and long slender bodies, becoming beautiful can be almost impossible, but with the technology these days, becoming beautiful can now be achieved. The best way to enhance your physical features is by undergoing cosmetic surgery. If you want to give it a try, first thing that you should consider is getting the right surgeon for you. Looking for Orlando surgeon who can help you achieve that beautiful face once and for all? Get the best advice on how to best achieve the results that you desire with Dr. Clevens. The procedure that will be performed to you is done with a board certified MD physician anesthesiologist who will closely monitor you during your surgery. Guaranteed that they will provide you with the highest level of care and service.

You have the right to be beautiful in your own ways. I don't find anything wrong with wanting to emphasize those features in you that are less beautiful. No one is perfect but that doesn't mean you can't be perfect, at least with your physique, just don't forget to develop your inner beauty as well. There are plenty of so-called beautiful people out there who lie, cheat, steal, and even kill. Those are the kind of people who will never shine even if they have a beautiful face.

Keep a positive outlook, embrace life and nourish your body, mind and soul and be beautiful!


Flat nose? Big nose? Ugly nose? Tell me, which one is yours?

Mine is big round nose. I don't know why it turned out like that when both my parents actually have pointed nose. I don't really hate it, let's just say I'm not satisfied with it. Sometimes, when I look in the mirror, I would pinch my nose to make it look more pointy and slender, and you know what, it made me look prettier. LOL


Your nose gives you character. It attracts significant attention because it is the centerpiece of the face. If you think your imperfect nose is causing you troubles and it's causing you to lose your self-confidence, do something about it. Yeah, beauty is skin deep and you should focus more on improving your character/attitude but you have to accept the fact that in reality, most people still look and judge you based on your appearance. I don't see anything wrong if one wants to become pleasing and beautiful. By all means, if it makes you more productive, do whatever you can to become beautiful even if it involves cosmetic surgery.

If you're seriously considering it, make sure you consult the experts first. Talk to skilled and experienced doctors at Maryland nose sugery rhinoplasty to tell you more about the surgery procedure before doing it. Cosmetic or nasal surgery can be very complex and risky and you don't want to end up compromising your life and safety.


Stop Hair Loss Now!

What do you know about hair loss?

Other than the fact that it can be very embarrassing, do you know that hair loss can actually be prevented? Anything can be achieved now with the use of modern technology. If you're suffering from hair loss, either temporary or permanent, there's a hope for you! There are now several ways of hair restoration that can bring back the confidence in you.

Start of by identifying first the reasons why you suffer from hair loss. It could be because of illness, hormonal imbalance, medications taken, infections, heightened stress levels, unbalanced diet, and traumatic experiences. You may not be able to identify it yourself so make sure you discuss it with your doctor. After identifying the culprit, you would definitely want the very best hair loss treatment available! There are ways on how to treat them, one option is by taking oral medication which works to stop the production of DHT. DHT is a male hormone that can cause hairloss. Another method is hair transplantation surgery which replaces hair follicles that no longer produce hair with healthy hair follicles.

How To Safely Remove Warts From Face

Finally, I was able to visit Borough clinic today to have my warts (on face) removed. Omigosh. I am so like Bakekang. Hahaha. I have plenty on my cheeks. I had them cauterized and surprisingly, it wasn't painful naman plus Dra. Heredia is very nice and accommodating. Parang kagat lang ng langgam.

I wonder what really causes warts. Doc said it's sun over-exposure, comes with aging and it may be passed from one person to another when you come into contact with the warts. It may also be possible to spread warts by using towels or other objects that a person who has warts has used. Sometimes warts will go away on their own, but it may take years for this to happen. She advised us to wear SPF moisturizer all the time.

There are several ways on how you can remove them. If you don't want them cauterized, you also can try surgical removal through laser. You may also try these methods in removing face warts:

Wart Removal #1

Apply salicylic acid to the wart. It may take several weeks to get rid of the wart. For the best results, use after you take a bath or shower. This softens the skin and allows the acid to penetrate deeper.

Wart Removal #2

Applying Liquid Nitrogen to the wart. It will freeze the wart and cause it to fall off. It will usually take about one application each week for about 3 weeks. This is usually done by a doctor.

Wart Removal #3

Duct tape covering a wart will irritate the wart and the skin around it. This will cause the body to attack the wart. Cover the wart with duct tape for up to a week. When you remove the tape, soak the wart in water, and rub it gently with a pumice stone. Leave the wart exposed overnight and reapply the tape the next morning.


Compensation That Is Rightfully Yours

Few weeks ago, I witnessed a car crash on my way to work and on that same day, while on my way home, I chanced upon another accident on that same road. It was terrible. I didn't want to go to work the next day fearing that I might get hit by a car. I was scared as hell. Have you ever thought about it if something bad happen to you or to anyone in your family? I don't even want to think about it.

This world has become one big bowl of danger. Anything can happen. You can get an accident at work, while crossing the street or elsewhere. One day you're fine the next day you could be lying in the hospital, worst is, you could end up lifeless if you don't take extra precautions.

This is why it's necessary that one must learn how to protect one's self and family against accidents, disasters, and emergencies. In most cases, those people who suffer physical injuries are the one's who also suffer financial injuries. They don't even get any compensation to, at least, pay the hospital bills. That's not fair especially if it wasn't their fault.

If you don't want to experience that, you should consider getting a personal injury compensation service. If anything bad happen to you whether it's from personal injury or illness resulting from your employment, Keypoint Legal Service can help you get the compensation you deserve. Their legal team will fight for justice and recover the Personal Injury Claims that is rightfully yours.

Is cosmetic surgery for you?



Anything is permissible but not everything is beneficial.

Is it right for you? Can you afford it? If you can then why not. If undergoing plastic surgery can make you look and feel more beautiful, I think there's no problem with it.

In these modern times, becoming beautiful can be achieved easily. Many ordinary people, not just celebrities, are choosing to undergo surgery enhancements and I personally think that although it looks very scary sometimes, people can actually get benefits from it. Since ages, the beautiful people have always had the pleasure of getting the best offers. A lot of us tend to look in the outward appearance. We base our judgments in what we can see first hand. Our figure, height, complexion and the overall physical features can sometimes make us or break us. If you're appearance prevents you from achieving your dreams, cosmetic surgery might be what you needed. But make sure that you have long thought about it first and believe that you it would be an advantage to you. Don't do it just because someone pressured you and most importantly, don't do it if you can't afford to pay for it. You also must be ready for the consequences of your action. There are some instances which ended to nightmares so make sure you choose the best cosmetic surgeon as it can be very dangerous sometimes. If you decide to have a cosmetic procedure such as a Breast Enhancement UK, think about what it would change about your life and behavior. Do you really need it? If yes, then do it.






Weekly Badminton








Greenpark Badminton Court

Time to shed off those extra pounds. Finally, I was able to join Ruthie and other QA peeps for their weekly badminton match at Greenpark. I had a lot of fun. We used to play a lot of badminton way way back - ruthie, aimz, Sonia, twinhearts, Janis and other officemates. Yeah, those were the days and I miss hanging out with them.

This is one sports that I really like other than swimming. One particular health benefit of playing badminton is protection from heart diseases. It strengthens the heart muscles besides reducing hypertension and keeping blood vessels from clogging. People with pre-existing heart disease are actually advised to play this sports but of course, with moderation.

After the 2 hour match, Ruth and I went to FF for our favorite retro dance. I missed 3 months of going to the gym since I got focused more on my other blog. I know, I should be managing my time better. I'll try to go to the gym everyday starting tomorrow. I'll be on training for 2 weeks and that gives me time to attend the session every night.

Get that Smart and Stylish Looks

For people like me who spend almost 12 hours (or more) a day in front of the computer, wearing eye glasses is highly recommended.

Better care for everyone


Life is indeed short. Sooner or later, you're going to need to care for yourself or someone you love.

I grew up in a very close family where taking care of the aging parents and grandparents are such a big thing. Part of the culture, I guess. Some few years ago, we had to take care of Amah (Chinese term for grandma) after she had an operation. She was doing her usual morning walk when she tripped off the ladder and broke her pelvic bones and got bed ridden for 5 years. We actually hired a PT (Physical Therapist) for her but that wasn't enough. You can imagine how hard it was to give her a bath, which we do everyday - 4 of us (cousins, sibling, PT) had to carry her from her room all the way to the bathroom. We also had to cook separate meal for her. It's just such a tremendous work but I'm not complaining about it. Not at all, of course. I am happy that I've taken the time to be with her during the final moments of her life. I miss her, in fact. Good thing, we were all students then so we had a lot of extra time to care for her. But things changed. If it happens now, we probably wont even have any time at all to see Amah. We've become so occupied with a lot of things, we only spend time together during holidays. I myself don't even get to talk that long with my parents, Aunts and grandma anymore. My siblings and I have plans of going abroad too so if this happen, no one's gonna be left to take care of my beloved parents. I might consider looking for care homes in the future. If you're considering that option too, you may check out Bettercaring. They offer dedicated service for anyone who needs the right kind of care and attention. They can also look at the care options that are available to you locally, as well as search for care homes. You can also read daily care news and receive tips from care experts on their website.




How to increase your metabolism

To increase metabolism, always eat breakfast in the morning. Break-fast...break the fast. Don't skip breakfast. If you wait until mid morning or afternoon to eat, your metabolism will run slower. Think of breakfast as adding logs to the fireplace. Your metabolism is the fireplace and logs are the breakfast.

Increase metabolism by eating smaller meals through the day. Eat 4 to 6 six small meals, 2 to 3 hours apart.

Include more energy foods such as whole grains, beans, vegetables and fruits.

Walk. Use the stairs instead of the elevator when possible. Do more activities around the house to burn energy instead of wasting money on pills and potions that don't work.

Incorporate a walking routine to increase metabolism at least three to four times a week. Walk 30 to 40 minutes each time. This is the best way to increase your metabolism.

Don't starve yourself when trying to lose weight. This will slow down your metabolism in a hurry. Avoid 5 to 6 hour gaps between meals without eating.

Be committed to eating smaller meals at regular intervals. Prepare food in advance and bring it with you. Never eat sporadically and plan each meal. The common mistake is to skip meals and eat too little during the day. This makes you vulnerable for eating junk food later in the day. Eating to lose weight takes planning.
