Sweet Serenity

When i’m watching tv, i always notice the commercials and ads being shown. When I get to like a particular ad, i’d often admire the men behind each unique campaign. Advertising is the business of drawing public attention to goods and services. I’m not sure if i would ace such profession. But i do think it takes someone with wide array of imagination and creativity to come up with catching and dynamic advertisements. Does that apply to insurance advertising as well? I guess so since it’s still about promoting a product or service. I personally don’t have a friend or know someone very close that works for this field. I think it’s really interesting. Change career? Nah.

It’s just two things - either i’m late on posting current photos or too early on writing about something.

And talk about the latter - here’s the chorus of a current Michael Learns to Rock favorite. In time for Valentine’s day… wahaha!

“The sweetest surprise
Caught me tonight
Right there in your eyes
While I was kissing you
So don’t say that you don’t love
Everything you dreamed of could be here”

It’s a nice song… promise.

I have a habit of browsing some news on my mobile phone before sleeping, be about show biz, health stuff, current events, trivias, among others. One of the interesting articles i read last night stated that people who spend more than 4 hours of tv time everyday is at health risks. Unfortunately, when i was about to click ‘read more’, i got an error page. Could it be true? Hmnn i’m planning of watching 2 tv series, one episode each a little later. It will take me about 2 hours. I’m still safe. Heheh! Maybe what’s safer if i look into some natural weight loss product should i really want to get serious with my weight loss project. Naks! How can I even start losing when i’m thinking of eating pasta right this very minute! It really doesn’t help that Fuente Osmena is just about 5 minutes from home! I can always find something to eat! Toinkz!

While acne is the major skin problem to a number of people, mine is somewhat different. My skin tone is uneven. If you’ll look closely at my arms, there’s like a ‘tagiptip’. A term used by Cebuanos for spots that looks like accumulated dirt or something. It’s really just there no matter how i scrub it. I might just as well embrace it than go nuts thinking of ways to remove it. And i think i’ll never get away with it especially that i don’t stay out of the sun. I’d rather enjoy the sun than look pale. I just use some acne solutions because i get pimples aside from sunburns after too much exposure from the sun. And oh speaking of sun, i still don’t know where to go to this summer! Ideas anyone?

Traffic jam is pretty everywhere in the city today. It’s probably because the Sinulog festivity is just a few days away. (I’m just as excited as every Cebuano is.) I’m probably a bit still young to be looking for some rheumatoid arthritis relief but seriously i think i need one. My feet hurts badly. Must be because i’ve been sitting longer than usual for the same position in the jeep today and then for standing for an hour or so when i arrived at the office. I thought my feet hurts from sitting so i stand while listening to a colleague’s discussion/training. My three-inch sandal is not helping of course but i’m glad was able to bring another pair of slippers. Arrggghh i want a foot massage!… with scrub please?!

LOL! I received some really cheesy love quotes in my inbox today. So, before i eat something cheesy that will surely entail some generic adipex diet later on - let me share those cheesy quotes.

“Goodbyes hurt you more than anything…
especially when deep down you know…
you will never say hello again.”

“Love makes you hold on to things you shouldn’t, but who are we to know any better?”

“How i wish falling in love has traffic lights too…
So that i would know if i should go for it…
Slow down or just stop.”

There… cheese anyone??? Oh, that reminds me. I still have leftover cheese from last Christmas. I probably will make spaghetti this weekend. Hmnnn…

Puerto Princesa, Palawan - April 2009

I admire my colleague who religiously followed her diet plan. Moreover, i’m overwhelmed by the evident results. She truly looked thinner and healthier. I wish i have the same discipline and zeal to follow her. Like my other colleague (who share the same problem on losing weight), the first battle we have to face is laziness. We are just too lazy to follow regimens strictly. Right now, i know i need to have colon cleansing first to touchbase whatever diet plans i have in mind. Maybe eating fruits for snacks instead of junk foods will do me right? Yeah, maybe you’ll agree.

I’ve read a lot of info online and articles on magazines on what’s the best and effective way to stay beautiful. Many ways and means are written down but it all boils down to one thing - keep a healthy skin. Signs of healthy skin would include invisible lines, toned color, pimple free, small pores, among others. As for myself, I don’t use much product on my skin because i have a sensitive one. But i do use an acne facial cleanser because i have oily skin. People with oily skin are prone to having pimples. Lucky for me though because i really don’t have such a problem. But as they say, prevention is better than cure.

Ok, it’s too early to be excited for summer. But the humid air can’t help most of us but think of summer. Summer destinations and fun things to do while the sun is shining so bright. In fact, as early as now, most of my colleagues have booked different flights to their vacation spots already. They’ve booked some travel packages and accommodations already. Me? I have a lot of places to go to in mind but haven’t actually decided. I’ve seen a lot of great miami hotel deals online. Not that i’m going to Miami but it’s for friend who will be going there soon. I’m wishing i could get similar deals locally.

Last year? I’ve started my travels as early as January. I was already in Camotes Island right after the Sinulog festivities. This year? Hmnn we’ll see.
