Have you ever been in a situation where in your integrity is tested? Earlier, while on the bus, on my way to work, I found a paper bag containing some used magazines and a small laptop. There were no clues on who the owner is. At first I thought of just handing it to the bus driver but chose not to because they are very notorious for not giving back lost and found stuff. So what I did was just bring the laptop to work.

It was a very new laptop a netbook actually, as I have discovered from netbook reviews from the net. It was just out last month. The owner must have forgotten it and probably wants it back. Honestly I was tempted to just keep it for it was actually one of my dream laptop. However I thought of what it would be like in case I am the one who lost it. And so, on my way home, I just surrendered it to the police department. They’ll be the one to handle it.

Ever since I hit puberty I’ve been having severe acne problem on my chin. Pimples occur every now and then on my face, especially when I’m really stressed. However, the case on my chin is really horrible. I’ve tried a lot remedies to get rid of my chin acne and even read a lot of books on how to treat acne.

During this time, I was shocked to find out that a simple conversation with my colleague in the washroom was all I needed to solve my chin acne problem. She advised me to try switching my toothpaste. She furthered that it’s possible that my toothpaste is actually the culprit that’s been causing those severe pimples because of the harsh ingredients that unavoidably drips on my chin after every brushing. I tried that and with a simple toothpaste switch, I got rid of those chin pimples!

So for those experiencing the same problem, try the toothpaste switch solution!

Nothing relieves joint pains faster than Yoga. I’m having back and joint pains since last month (probably because of lack of exercise) so I decided to try out hot flow yoga. A good friend recommended this to me and told me that it really worked for him. He said that it is the one of the best jjoint pain remedies I can try for the least cost.

I enrolled last week and started attending just this morning. The class started at six in the morning and I was early. I was excited to try this new kind of yoga which uses a heated room, much more like a sauna. When the instructor led us to the room, the nightmare started. It was so hot and I actually felt my sweat dripping on the mat. The instructor told us to relax and breathe and try to focus on the postures.

There were 26 postures and I can definitely say that no posture was easy. The mere standing position is painful because of the hot room. The session started with breathing, then the postures, and ended in breathing. After the class, it felt like heaven leaving the room.

Now I am the office, working. The amazing thing is, even after only one yoga session, I do not feel any joint or back pains anymore! Also, I do not even feel tired. So right now I am starting to feel the effects of yoga in my body and how important it is exercise. Right now, I feel that every part of my body is relaxed and energized. Nothing feels stiff unlike before. I’m glad I tried yoga out, and I’ll definitely do it regularly.

If you’re an internet savvy like me, you’ll eventually have the same problem that I have - storing passwords. Your lists of passwords for email accounts, online banking, and social networking accounts will eventually pile up. Sooner of later you will have a hard time remembering all of them.

Right now I have five email accounts, six online banking accounts, one facebook, one multiply, two flicker, five blog accounts, etc. I basically have to remember more than twenty passwords and it is really confusing most of the times. A friend of mine suggested this nifty little program called KeePass. It is a portable application that securely strores all of your passwords in your flashdrive. The passwords are stored in a highly encrypted database for better security. To access your password list, you’ll just have to remeber just one main password and that’s it. So far it worked great for me so suggest you try it. I also suggest you create an online backup of your database, in case you lose your flashdrive.

Of course, you must remember the main password otherwise there’s no way of hacking into your password list anymore.

Looking for a university that offers public safety degrees is quite hard, I mean, most universities offer these kinds of courses, but the question lies on the quality of education that they offer.

I think universities that also help you develop as a person and adapts to you is amazing. Being there to assist a student in every step of the way is also necessary, but it should be noted that spoon-feeding the students isn’t always good.

Getting to see various situations in different viewpoints and demonstrating it to the students would also be a great way to teach students to gain understanding and confidence on their on when they someday end up in the same situation as the ones being demonstrated.

And lastly, it has to be your own initiative to lead others and to develop, not theirs.

Still wondering how those body builders achieve that figure? Well it is not only because of their patience and determination in going to the gym but because of a little help from supplements. I asked some of my body builder friends and they admit they use certain muscle boosting pills. Supplements with an hgh releaser is ideal for body building. HGH by the way stands for human growth hormones. Naturally, HGH is responsible for cell regeneration and growth. So if you are lifting weights, taking these supplements will help your muscles heal faster. Now I’m just wondering how Human Growth Hormones are extracted and packaged in a pill… hmmm….

Have you ever tried playing the Rockband game in ps3? Well, it was the first time we (me and my friends) tried doing that and the only thing I can say about it is… HELL YEAH! Damn it was so fun. We were invited by Linda to try out her new PS3 that her mother bought for her. We never enjoyed a house party as much as we did last night. All my friends were shouting and jumping around like the foo fighters hehe. I, on the other hand, was just seated at the back - PLAYING THE DRUMS! Wohoooo!

After the exhausting gameplay, we headed straight to the garden. Linda’s Mom was just so hospitable and cool, she even made us grilled burgers. Imagine that… rockband game plus outdoor grilling, what more could you ask for?

I just realized that my sister Anne’s wedding is very near! I already have THE dress – a gold and black haltered dress with 3 roses on the side. Unfortunately, I don’t have THE back for it. That is, I don’t have flawless back, thanks to my back acne. I actually used to have a flawless back until recently. *sigh*

Consequently, out of panic, I finally decided to seek my dermatologist’s help. During the check-up, she asked me a very odd question, “Did you switch your shampoo?” I went, “Huh?” She elaborated, “Shampoo is something most of us use on a daily basis and are sometimes what’s causing back acne. This is because shampoo not only comes into contact with our hair, but also our skin. So if you recently changed your shampoo, try switching to another one.” *Ding!* That’s it! I’ve been using a new shampoo since December – I got it as a gift from our office Christmas party.

My dermatologist furthered that I should avoid shampoo and conditioners that give pearlized look since they usually cause back, chest, and shoulder acne (especially for those with long hair). Who would’ve thought that avoiding those type of hair products are almost like natural remedies for acne?

I’m soooo happy! It was just the shampoo, after all!

I’m so glad there are 24 hour towing services even during Christmas! You see, on our way to my Aunt Mel’s house last December 25 for our traditional Christmas dinner, our car broke down. Everyone panicked because we were in the main road when this happened. It’s a good thing we were in a 3-lane road, so the traffic we caused while waiting for help to arrive wasn’t that significant *whew!*

The best thing about the 24 hour towing service is that they got to us really fast! We were able to make it just in time for the Christmas dinner blessing before meal. ^_^

Insomnia, deep watery eyes, yellowish teeth and unable to concentrate - if you have these symptoms, you might be one of us…

Hello. Recently I discovered that I was taking more Coke into my body than water. It started a month ago when the company bought a Coca-cola bending machine as one of the perks in the office. Since then I had a can of Coke in every meal and snack. I drank coke to boost my concentration during deadlines and to keep me awake during overtime. After a few weeks, my body started to deteriorate. I felt weak, always sleepy, and I had a hard time concentrating. I definitely must do something about this.

I asked a friend who works for a drug rehab on tips to successfully withdraw from coke addiction. She have never really treated anyone addicted with coke before but she said it helps to quit gradually. She advised that I take alternatives to coke like iced tea or lemon juice because she suspected me to be addicted in caffeine.

Although the FDA does not say anything about Coke, it warns us of substance abuse which is as deadly as drug addiction. Coke, like beer, is harmful when we take more than enough.
