105.1 Crossover

My all-time favorite radio station is really 105.1 Crossover! The songs are the perfect companion to a night of hard work and lots of thinking to be done. You can relax to the sound of soothing music and not bothered by the noise like with other stations. You can put the music in the background and still hear your thoughts. It won’t disturb you at all! I really love it!

The station was gone on air for a while. Their web site is still under construction. Thank goodness there’s an alternative web site where you can listen to their live streaming.

What would I do without Crossover Manila? Love the station so much! Do listen and you will find out why I am such a fan!

Pile of old books

My dad did a general cleaning of the upstairs storage area. He found so many old textbooks lying around the room, accumulating dust. Some are even decaying already. What my dad did, he tied all the books that can still be sold or donated to the local library. And the rest he boxed with the stuff that will be sent to the junk shop.

We’ve piled up so many books over the years. What with me, my three sisters, my brother who died, and the youngest who’s still in college. Among us, you can already imagine how many books we’ve stocked up over the years we’ve been in school.

Feast of good food

After tonight and tomorrow night, I know I will need the best weight loss products out there. Tonight we will be going out for my sister’s birthday dinner. It will be another feast of good food for sure! Tomorrow night I will be meeting up with my girl friends for dinner, too. And for sure, it will be nonstop girl talk with lots of good food as well.

Truth be told, eating out is one of the activities I love the most. And the reason why I can’t seem to lose the weight I have been trying to lose for years! Family and friends know it so when they want to treat me, they invite me to lunch or dinner.

Please wait to be seated

TMA asks… How long will you wait for a table at a restaurant? Under 15 minutes? Not at all?

Seated

I guess it depends. If I am already hungry, even a 15-minute wait would seem like forever to me. So I would rather go to another restaurant that can accommodate me right away. If I am not hungry, I can wait even for 30 minutes. If I really like the restaurant and I know they are reasonable when it comes to accommodating their patrons, then I can wait that long.

Look into her eyes

When you look into her eyes, you’ll feel like you are being sucked into an abyss. It’s that beautiful and deep! She’s very much aware of how beautiful her eyes are and she knows that’s her asset. So she takes care of it the best way she knows how. She has the best eye cream for wrinkles. She doesn’t tire her eyes out.

I don’t have a particular part of my face that I consider an asset. I do know that I can be funny and witty when I am at my best. I think that’s an asset, right? ;-)

Heart break

junkfoodWhen a woman is heartbroken, she tends to go on a binge. Admit it. You’ve been there in the past. At one point in our lives, we have indulged ourselves to somehow ease the pain. But now, looking back, I realized I should have just taken the most effective diet pills in the market. Got sexier and made him realize what he lost! Instead of adding to the already excess pounds I have.

If there’s someone heartbroken out there, think about it. It is much better to use the heart break to make ourselves more beautiful. Go have a massage. Hit the gym. Do something to make yourselves look slimmer and sexier. And then move on with your life.

To be near water

I’ve been browsing sites hoping to find a really great and affordable resort. I am fixated with swimming and being near water these past several weeks. I wish I can up and go whenever I feel like it but I can’t just do that. For one, I have so many pending work to do. And I also don’t have the budget to do something like that on a whim. It will have to be planned and scheduled so as not to affect my routine.

I found one through my friend. A resort near the metro but has the lavish feel of being in a first-class resort! The rates are a bit steep but considering the beauty of the place, I think the price is worth it. I might go there with some friends this April. I hope by then I have enough saved so I can relax even for a day or two.

Read reviews!

Read reviews. It helps you find the best product out there. My sister is looking for the best diet pill that she can use to aid in her quest to losing weight. She’s read phentermine reviews as well as the reviews on other products. She’s still comparing and will be consulting her doctor-friend about it soon.

This is the reason why I love the world wide web. It can give you information you need in seconds! This information can help shape the decision you will make. And admit it, without the internet before, this information takes days and weeks before it can get to you.

Failed performance?

Men are more sensitive when it comes to the topic of their performance level in the bedroom. I know this because I have friends who suffer from low self-esteem. Yes, brought on by the fact that they feel their partners are not satisfied with their sex lives. Both of my friends are looking into using testosterone cream to help them overcome the source of their insecurities in bed. And I do hope it works for them.

It’s bad enough that they are consulting a female friend with their problems. I do believe it will be worse if they continue to fail in their performance. What do you think?

Sandra Bullock wins!

Sandra Bullock

It was the first time Sandra Bullock was nominated for a Best Actress in Oscars. It was for her role in The Blind Side. And what do you know! She won!

She bested Hollywood greats Meryl Streep and Helen Mirren as well as Carey Mulligan and Gabourey Sidibe. Wow! And she was so gracious in her acceptance speech! Congrats to her! I was teary-eyed when I watched it :)

Family trips

Who wants to go book an Outer Banks vacation rental now? I do! It would be a cool summer trip for sure. I want to bring the family together this summer for some fun under the sun. Not now, though. Probably after the school year ends.

Right now, I am working my butt off to save for the summer outing. I am making this an annual thing for the family. When we were kids, we always stayed at home during summer vacation because we couldn’t afford to go on trips. But now that we can afford it already, with four of us working, we are making sure to go on trips when we can.

Beauty ritual

My girl friends are already using anti aging face face creams. I guess it’s our age. We’re already off the calendar and they feel like they are aging so fast. That’s why they are using the creams already.

In my case, much as I would love to use a facial cream, I am not really that type of person. I might use it in the beginning and then would stop after a few days. It’s not me. I am not the beauty ritual kind of girl. But I might have to force myself to do so a few years from now. We’ll see.

Out of school

One of my cousins, a distant one, stopped going to school. She’s already a sophomore in high school. She was being teased because she has a terrible acne. It is sad that her life is being derailed just because of a problem as simple as acne. I told her mom to check out the best acne products in the market. Bring her to consult a dermatologist and then start solving her problem.

People can be mean to someone who’s not pretty. I’ve seen this happen time and again. But to those being bullied or teased, life goes on. Do not stop living your life because others can’t appreciate you. It would be your loss if you depend your life on others.

Sexy Heidi!

Heidi Klum

If there’s one body I would love to have, it’s Heidi Klum‘s. The woman just gave birth and look at her getting her banging body back so easily! She clarified that it isn’t easy getting back her body in interviews. She’s working hard for it. But it’s not normal for a woman to get that kind of curves post-pregnancy even though they kill themselves from trying!

It’s the genes, I would like to believe. Darn good looks, too! ;)

Receding hairlines

I noticed that most men in the family don’t need the best hair loss treatments in the market yet. They still have a full crown of hair, even both of my grandfathers. But some of our neighbors need it already. Some are still young. You can see their receding hairlines even when they are using gels to make the remaining hair seem full.

Two local celebrities who are vocal about undergoing hairloss treatments are Rico J. Puno and Mark Gil. Rico J’s is so much better than Mark’s. But both got back their crowning glory because of the treatments.
