Positive feedback

The reports are coming back with a positive feedback for those wanting to buy gold bars. The gold market is booming! There is a significant increase in the price of gold and that means that values are going up.

We have a family friend who’s been wanting to invest in gold for quite some time now. He’s just afraid to release his hard-earned money because he wants to see a concrete proof that gold is a good investment. With the fluctuation in the value of dollar, gold is the next best thing to invest on. Go and know more about gold in USGoldBureau.com now.

John Mayer Live in Manila postponed!

John Mayer Live in Manila

The much-anticipated concert John Mayer Live in Manila is postponed. It was supposed to be this coming May 16th but due to the national elections that will be held on the 10th, the concert was rescheduled to October 1st.

I got the details from John Mayer’s web site itself. I read it first in a daily broadsheet but I want a confirmation from John’s site. I think they cited the fear that there might be chaos during the election period so to be safe, they opted to hold the concert at a later date.

Love the man!

george-clooney

I can stare at the man for hours on end and I won’t get tired of him. He is that good-looking! Charming and sexy and that killer smile…

No doubt about it, George Clooney is one of the A-list stars of Hollywood right now. He acts, directs, produces. He also helps out (remember the Haiti telethon?)! He does every thing and people love him for it. He also is fighting for Darfur.

I do wish he’ll make another Ocean’s movie. I love him in that. Not to mention there are other hotties in that movie. Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, Andy Garcia… yay!

Whole clan

My sister was in the gym yesterday when she overheard two older women talking about the best diet supplements that they are taking. According to the two, it helps them lose weight fast. My sister was so tempted to ask them but stopped herself. She’ll just research about it. Anyway, she also overheard the brand of the supplement they are talking about.

In our family, only two are not overweight. The rest of us are. It’s genetic, I guess. Even my grandmother and aunts and uncles and some cousins are overweight like us. Plus the fact that our family, the whole clan actually, loves a good feast. So how can we really lose weight with all the temptation around, huh?

Taking care of my eyes

I think I should stock up on wrinkle eye creams. At the rate I’m going, I think I’ll end up needing it.

I sleep very little. If I sleep a lot, it’s not continuous. I also read a lot, even when I am in the dark. I don’t take care of my eyes and I know that I will suffer the consequences in the future. I need to be more careful with my eyes if I want to be able to see clearly even when I am already old.

Damon on GQ

Another reason to buy GQ again…

IanSomerhalder-GQ

Ah, I do love Damon Salvatore!

Or Ian Somerhalder for you people who don’t watch The Vampire Diaries. Don’t you just find him oh so cute? If all villains look like him, I don’t think I’ll ever root for the hero!

Caring for the elders

Two of the elders in the neighborhood suffer from arthritis. These are persons who can’t afford to go to the dentist let alone arthritis treatments. So the neighborhood is pitching in to raise enough money for the two and will send them to a specialist for treatments.

Even though I don’t like the fact that my neighbors treat their houses badly making the place look chaotic and ill-kept, I like that they care for the elders and the kids. It is a big plus for me and my family. It is one of the reasons we still stay at the neighborhood.

No more rice

My friend was boasting of the 40 pounds that she lost in a quarter. Yes, in just 3 months! According to her, her quick weight loss is the result of working out twice daily and drinking weight loss supplements. She’s also stopped eating rice which is a big deal for her considering she loves to eat her meals with rice.

I really think that if I also stop eating rice, it will make a huge difference in my weight loss program. It’s just so hard because I don’t feel full without it. I only eat rice for lunch but still, I eat a lot of it! I think it’s time to sacrifice if I want to lose anywhere near those numbers like my friend.

GLEE Season 2

GLEE

GLEE Season 2 is on the 14th already! It’s just a few days away. I know there are a lot of GLEEks like me who are excited to watch the highly anticipated new season of this hit TV show. In fact, I know my sisters and my friends are all counting down the days until the season premiere.

Can’t wait! I’ve read the plans they have for the second season and the one I like the most is the Madonna episode. Madonna!!!

Watch the teasers for GLEE and see for yourselves.

Wedding plans

I was talking to my friend yesterday and we were talking about her wedding invitations. There’s no date yet but she already has the design down pat. She already knows just how many people they will invite and how some who she knows won’t be able to go will still be in attendance even in virtually.

I just love her plans. We talked until we were almost passing out from being too tired being out the whole day. But we were still able to talk some more about other things regarding her boyfriend and their future plans.

Hot, nude yoga movement

I don’t know if you’ve heard about this already… hot, nude yoga! It is said to be a form of sensualized tantric yoga practiced nude. Yeah right!

HotNudeYoga

I read that it is fast becoming popular in the US these days. It is targeted mostly for the gays. There are also male and female fans. Heterosexual ones. According to the article I read, for fans, the nudity aids in deepening their yoga practice while building a close — and emphatically nonsexual — community. I have my hesitations in believing this. For one, admit it or not, when someone is nude in front of you, you tend to stare. You get distracted and stare at the body of the person naked in front of you. All of a sudden, the yoga practice is not focused on fitness anymore but more on the beauty of the body of the persons around you. You can deny all you want but unless you are a nudist and have been practicing for years, you can’t help yourself but stare at other naked persons around.

Plus, men especially gays are highly sexual in nature. Instead of cleansing the mind and focusing their energy on yoga itself, I am sure they will concentrate more on the male and female anatomy of the ones who caught their eyes.

Again, you can deny all you want. Maybe, there’s one or two from the nude yoga movement who are actually in for the physical fitness. But I doubt if every one of the recruits are of the same agenda.

Explore your options

My friend is doing an admin job search for her. She’s been working for the same company for the past five years now. But there was never any growth and hardly ever a promotion she can see in the horizon. The only reason she is staying with the company is that she has a really great boss. Her boss has been doing everything she can to help her grow in the company but the only thing growing is the size of her paycheck, which is not much if you ask me.

I always tell my friends to not be afraid to explore their options. There are companies out there who will take them and take care of them. Do not get stuck with a company who can’t even give you a promotion when every one can see you deserve it.

Properties foreclosed

They are looking at Outer banks foreclosures for a property they can buy. They are known as the couple who waits for foreclosures so they can get properties at a good price. And they have various properties that are giving them income month after month, properties they got at a bargain price.

I think if I have the same amount of money lying around in the bank, I would have invested some of it in real estate properties also. Rent it out so that I can get income out of it. Or maintain it so when the family feels like going on a vacation, there’s a place to stay at.

A spa house

I saw the house of a celebrity that was featured in a local magazine. It looked like a spa! I love everything in the house. The ambiance, the garden and backyard, the indoor and outdoor pool, the cabana with the spa covers, the powder rooms as well as the bedrooms. Just looking at it made me feel calm and relaxed. I wish I have the money to have a house built like that where family and friends can come and visit whenever they feel the need for some peace and quiet.

Dreams. Dreams. When will it become a reality?

Sporting a healthy glow

The colon cleansing benefits on my dad’s friend is already showing. He’s sporting a healthy glow plus the fact that he’s breathing easily now. He was advised by doctors and concerned family and friends to cut down on his food intake, exercise regularly, cut his vices (smoking and drinking), and to take it easy. Cut the stress which is causing him indigestion. Of course, the colon cleansing was also advised.

He told my dad that he is now sleeping without the fear of sleep apnea and breathing properly. The backaches, stomach cramps, indigestion and gas, as well as the aches and pains in his joints are also gone. I wish my dad will do the same thing. But he is still as stubborn as before.
