When I was in grade school we were forced to bring our books home and carry them back to school daily because they thought that if we brought our books home that children would actually opt to read them over games like Barbie dolls and Legos.

Imagine that, nine year old me carrying ten books everyday to school.

This heavy load slowly introduced scoliosis to my life. My mom noticed my posture– it started getting worse as the years went by. She had my back checked and the x ray confirmed that I have mild scoliosis.

I started getting therapies here and there. One type of therapy even told me to hang by a monkey bar for thirty minutes and just hold on to it.

I know it would be difficult if not impossible to bring my spinal column to the way it was before, but I’m not losing hope in the various massage therapy programs that the therapeutic world has to offer. I’m sure someone will come up with an easy solution soon enough, and if that doesn’t happen I’ll have to make it happen myself.

I have been craving for a blueberry cheesecake for the longest time, and I have also been constantly nagging my sister to bake one for me.

I guess it’s safe to say that my sister is quite annoyed because she knows the ingredients are very expensive and she doesn’t want to pay for it herself (she’s not a big fan of blueberry cheesecakes), so it is time for me to step in and get back to my sister’s good side!

I started browsing online to see if there are le creuset sales available anywhere because I know my sister loves this brand. You can tell this from all the cook and bakeware that she uses.

I am hoping that this little expense would get me back to her good side so I can taste that heavenly cheesecake I have been drooling over for so long. It’s literally driving me insane! (Okay, not literally, but you get the point!)

Antennas are the long sticks used to gather signals from television stations or from cellular sites. These have been used way before satellites started being the fad. Since satellites don’t prove very useful when it’s raining or snowing hard, I decided to look for the good old antenna.

A particular type of antenna has piqued my interest. I found out that omnidirectional antennas existed while I was searching for antennas to buy, and I can say that I found what I was looking for all along. Given the fact that it radiates power uniformly in all directions, I can say that I don’t need to mess around with which direction the antenna is facing just to get a decent reception.

I am amazed at how much technology has progressed over the years, but I do hope somehow that the technology we develop finds its own way to help save the environment.

Everyone wants to have some sort of proof that they won something special. I myself have a thing for these so-called trophies. Nothing gives you bragging rights better than these amazing things.

If I were given the chance I would make trophies for almost anything I could come up with! I have already put giving out trophies to my friends for Christmas into consideration once, believe it or not. Some of the awards I have come up with are “Best Burper in Town”, “Smile More Please”, “Best Costume”, “The Gentleman Award” and “Perm of the Year”.

I don’t know where I come up with these things, really. It has been a habit of mine to make up things as they come and go.

If you were to give out trophies to your friends, what kinds of awards would you give out? Feel free to comment them on this post, and we’ll see which one of you guys comes up with the most creative one!

As a lot of my friends and relatives have been reading my blogs and consequently asking me to look for auto insurances online, I decided to be a very nice person and I started to compare the best auto insurance online.

If you may or may not notice, this task won’t be easy for just one person to do, as auto insurances cover a lot of things and each one of them have various pros and cons, and the basis for comparison wouldn’t just be one or two. This is one of the main reasons as to why so I am looking for volunteers!

If you have time to spare, please help me out by reviewing all of the auto insurances online that you can find and feel free to post your reviews on the comment section of this post. It will be greatly appreciated, and I will make sure that you will be rightfully credited for your amazing work. I am looking forward to hearing from you guys soon!

I met a group of girls in a bar yesterday who are inviting me up for a night of camping. Of course I was so tempted to join but I was a little hesitant because I just met them that day. They seemed nice and a little dorky too they are a lot of fun to hang out with. One of them, bragged about her gadgets that she plan to bring on camping. It was an eotech 512! When I saw it I went WHOA! Although I had no idea what it was. It did looked amazing and very high tech though.

It turns out it was a night vision gadget. She said it was given to her by a boyfriend from the army. Government property I guess. Anyhow, I gave it a try in a nearby alley and hey it was great. You really can see anything even on pitch black. This can really be great on camping trips especially when you are looking for a spot to dig a hole if you know what I mean.

Anyhow, dorky and geeky as they are, I guess I would love to camp out with them. In just one night I felt that they are safe to be with. I will however try to invite some of my friends to come along too.

I have recently come across a weight loss product called pink magic.

It kind of reminds me of that one game I used to play back when I was in grade school. It was called “black magic”, and what would happen was I would pretend to be psychic and make an unknowing friend point at an item. I would tell you my secret on finding it out, but that would mean I would have to kill you! Haha, just kidding.

I sure miss being young, making up games and worlds that only you can enter, meeting a lot of friends without worrying about payables and work.. being just happy and carefree, and just living in the moment.

Lately I’ve been consumed by my work and all the things that I have to pay for, so I don’t have the luxury to enjoy a lot of things. I believe the only form of relaxation I have is watching movies on my ipod on my break.

It’s sad, but it’s just the way life is.

Last week I was rushed to the hospital because of pneumonia. My fever was insanely high and I could not breathe well. It took me a few days to recover and here I am now. Alive and kicking again.

Anyhow, I had a wonderful experience at the hospital. In the ER, I saw an old friend I haven’t seen for a very long time. I was surprised to see my best friend from highschool wearing medical scrubs. Last time I know, she signed up for the navy. As we were talking, it turned out that she did her service already and now she is an intern. If she passes internship, she will be a full fledged doctor.

At a moment there I was glad to have been rushed to the ER that day. There I think was my silver lining.

Since my boss trusts my taste in furniture or objects– to be more specific, he always asks me to pick out our office supplies online and order them.

There are two main factors that I consider before buying something and that would be quality and price. If the price is reasonable for the products’ quality, then I buy it. Other factors would be the physical appearance and if it has extra bonuses. I’m a girl after all, and I’m all about the cuteness!

I guess after more than 20 years of buying things, I can say that I know what to buy and what I should avoid. It’s all about priorities, if you prefer this over that. Being fickle minded isn’t really helpful when you’re shopping. You’d end up losing more money than you actually intended to.

Last December, I took a month-long vacation leave to ease myself of all the stresses at work. I deserve it because for six months, I was not able to get any holiday nor weekend because of the very tight deadline. My boss was considerate enough to permit me to relax.

For a month I was stress-free. I stayed in my apartment, alone; Had a Big Bang Theory marathon from season on to four; Tried every recipe from my cookbook; and watched every  HD movie I downloaded from torrent. I was a bum. I literally became a homey.

However, even a month-long vacation still has an end. So now, I am back at work, pretending to be “eager to work”. I actually went to the office yesterday, but for some weird reason, I was blocked out. For starters, I forgot how to type! It took me a while to adjust. Then, for the first time this year, I checked my emails. Kabaam! A million messages in my inbox. I realized that I may be losing my touch. The long vacation ruined my momentum so now, I am like a novice learning how to create my own website. In an instant I was stressed. Good thing I have my best acne products ready in my drawer, in case I get breakouts.

Oooh, I feel I do not want to work anymore. I just want to be a bum. I just want to eat and sleep at home.
