My mom has been suffering from joint pain more often than lately. It’s a mixture of her osteoporosis and arthritis acting up. She has been diagnosed with DVT (deep vein thrombosis) as well so she is using compression stockings all the time most especially when she needs to stand for long periods of time. I am looking forward to trying msm glucosamine cream as I’ve read that regular applications will help make the pain go away. And that’s what my Mom needs.
I am back to my old ways, at least this week. I have been staying up late, as late as 4AM on most days, because I accepted an opportunity that needs to let me work during US time. I cannot say no since I am going to be compensated well. At least, it also helps me work during lag time and allows me to get more work while waiting. I noticed there are little zits along my hair line when I scrubbed my face earlier and my skin looks really dull. I would not be surprised if a huge pimple will appear tomorrow as I am pulling another all-nighter at work. I hope I won’t need acne treatment cream soon, as I hate huge pimples. They really hurt!
My mom used to say that whenever the monthly visitor is coming, I should try and avoid oily foods to avoid pimple breakouts (I might need acne serum to treat them) and salty foods so I won’t bloat. Being the good daughter I was, of course I never really followed my mom’s advice. I got bloated and while I never experience pimples on my face, it grew in the most absurd places – inside my nose, in my ear and in my scalp.
Aside from getting protein shakes, a food diary and the tempting offer to get slimquick pills, I was referred by a friend to this application. It would be helpful for me to keep track of my calories.

One’s diet should always have fiber. I can hear someone scream in my ear: “Fiber! Stock up on fiber!” It is true! It washes away toxins, keeps you full and give you the roughage you need everyday. It also helps to prevent colon cancer. Along with colon cleansing foods you are bound to be on the way to a healthy life.
A high fiber diet actually supports a healthy digestive system by sweeping the debris that accumulates inside the colon, just like a broom. Fiber also exercises the intestinal tract.
So I have been thinking about this blog and how it got “sidetracked” over the past year or so. It is in a way representative of how my life has been, health-wise. I will try to get back on track starting today! I am reviving this blog to be my fitness blog where I will chronicle the food intake and exercise I have done everyday. Hopefully, this will help me stop reading about appetite suppressant reviews and just do losing weight the hard way – diet and exercise. Wish me luck!
Ever wondered if there will be a demand for careers in the culinary industry? Of course there will be! Restaurants will always need chefs and hotels would need chefs too – you can even start your own food business! Eating out or anything that has to do with food is always in demand.You just need to research on logistics to be able to make sure that your business will be in the right place and is suitable for the perfect market among the location.
I noticed most restaurants these days have an outdoor dining area. I never knew that alfresco dining would be such a trend. Maybe because people these days want to be with nature when eating? Practically, it is because there has been a social awareness of the dangers of smoking so almost all restaurants have a smoking and non-smoking area. The outdoors usually have the smoking area, of course. The restaurants of course takes this as an opportunity to further beautify their place and gives most thought to what kind of Landscape Design they would employ. Most of them have patio umbrellas, lamp posts and beautifully landscaped walls. There was one restaurant though that I remember had a waterfall and pond with koi fishes – it was not only pleasing to the eyes but it was refreshing to be near water – it cooled the area!The pathways were curved and outlined with natural stones and bricks and it was such a quaint picture. Landscaping should be done by professionals, like the Landscape Design Agency which has architects and designers and reputable contractors. When an area is has a landscape design which has carefully well-thought of and its design thoroughly executed, one can guarantee that it can really transform the place into something so different!

I have heard and personally experienced credit card stories that have turned into a living nightmare. It all started innocently enough, receiving the first credit card and deciding to take it on a trial swipe at one’s favorite store. One would not think of it as incurring debt, as you basically will pay for it before the next billing cycle. That is, IF you can pay it in full, which to some, isn’t almost always the case. Sooner or later, it spirals out of control and before one even realizes it, he is up to his neck on credit card debt that he cannot even pay the minimum amount due every month. This where a Collection Agency comes in – they are actually a third party hired by the credit card company to collect outstanding balances from delinquent accounts. They are very tenacious, and for me, have instincts of a bloodhound, because they can track you down and can be consistently relentless in reminding you to settle your debt. If you do not let them intimidate you and you are not antagonistic and defensive towards them, they are your closest bet to settle your debt. They can offer special payment plans to close the account or for you to be able to catch up on payments.

Have you ever watched the movie the Fast and the Furious? It’s a movie that showcases good-looking cars, as I call it, cars for single guys. My husband doesn’t fail to notice these types of cars, one with lambo doors, everytime we go out. He would swoon and praise the car as if it’s a mighty piece of woman flesh! I guess we will never understand men’s affinity to cars as they will never understand our love for designer bags and shoes and shopping endlessly in general! I have seen a Honda car got beautified because they replaced the usual doors with lambo doors and the all the men who saw it was all praises.
