Eye & Ear Check Up

2011-09-20T20:51:00.000+08:00

Prevention is always better than cure.

My son's school held a Vision-Audio Conservation Program last August this year. They had undergone eye and ear check up. I am sure that my son has no problems when it comes to hearing because I had his ear checked when he was still a baby. On the other hand, I am quite nervous with the result of his eye check up. He loves watching near the TV and we would always asks him to move far away from it.

So when I opened up his Notebook #1 this morning, the results was already inserted. I am relieved that all the results are ok. His vision on both eyes are 20/50. However, there was a note that he sometimes experienced a blurred vision and with that a regular eye check up is required.

Regarding his Audio check up, both his ears passed from 500 HZ - 6000 HZ.

In connection to that, although his results are fine, I should continue to take extra caution in taking care of his audio and vision.

I received my winning from sis Genny Kendall on her Juppy Baby Walker Giveaway Winners. I am on of the winners and I won Flavored Lip Glosses.

the original tape was removed...

The Flavored Lip Glosses with a Post Card

It was delivered in our house and what I did notice is that the original tape of the package was removed. I thought maybe the personnel who handled it opened it up and looked if there was something inside worth grabbing (just like in the news). Fortunately, the item was there and complete.

Thank you sis and for the post card also!

Start Caring For The Environment Now!

2011-08-30T01:41:00.000+08:00

Weren't you feel shocked or alarmed when you hear news about countries being devastated by natural calamities? I can't help but compare some 20 years ago when the air we breathe was clean, the streets we walk on was safe and flood free and the simplicity of life was enough to give us delight and satisfaction. But, that was then....

Right now was a total opposite of it. I am worried for our children's future....

We can still build a better place to live in for them. Climate change is the first and foremost problem we have to eliminate or if not prevent. We can use earth friendly materials in our daily living. I know that we are just starting to live this kind of lifestyle and problems on where to get alternative products is present.

The Korea Environmental Technology and Industry Institute paves the way to help us live a Green life. Through their vast technology, they can provide us with products/services that are eco-friendly. We are assured that every products we bought from them are safe. Plus, they are offering people to grow with them by being one of their sellers (right now they are open for Korean companies only). They will provide you with your own e-catalogue, you will be exposed to buyers all over the world, up to date news on green friendly technology and you will have the chance to interact with people or companies through the largest B2B Market Trade Place. What more can you ask?

Let our concern for our environment be known and heard. Start Green Living now! Start with ECOTRADE.

My First Fondant Cake!

2011-07-12T21:24:00.000+08:00

My very first Fondant Cake for my son's 4th birthday last December. I remembered how nervous I am because it was a very long time ago I've done something like this. I have done several cakes during my high school and college days but I used royal icing back then. This cake was totally different because I used Marshmallow Fondant Icing. It became harder to do because I lack proper equipment like my oven was only a convection oven. I have to stay up all night just to bake 8 square pans of chocolate cake. Rolling of the fondant icing was also a big problem because I have to roll it twice as large as the actual cake and I have no big, smooth table. So, can you imagine how hard it is smoothing the surface of the fondant? Whew! But, I managed to survived! The design of the cake was Buzz of Toy Story whom was his favorite character during those times. My plan was to cut fondant icing to form Buzz but, as I have said I got frustrated with rolling it so I settled to my all time guaranteed icing, the Royal Icing. I finished the cake just in time for my son's celebration and I am proud to say that they all liked it especially my son.

2011-05-31T12:16:00.000+08:00

Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder. But nowadays, you can easily say that beauty can be acquired through a lot of means. Aging and the likes are the number one problems of our society right now in terms of beauty and wellness is concerned. Many products have been developed to help us conquer that fear. And with that, Edouard Manet a French painter, thought of ways on how to enhance the beauty of our women by starting his own line of skin cosmetics. The Skin Shop Cosmetics wherein nature of the natural beauty cosmetics can be found.

Their company, IFMANET Co., Ltd, was formed last 2007 and started to export their products to countries like Japan and Hongkong. They successfully turned into a corporation in Thailand just this 2011 and had the opportunity to have a deal with Watsons which is a retail store with 130 outlets.

“Nuffnang and Hapee Special Screening”

2011-05-29T15:49:00.000+08:00

When we are talking about first class, there are so few of brands or companies that belong to it. Being tagged as"First Class" means that we are the best in the field that we are in. Setting high standards in terms of delivering products and services. Staying for almost number of decades in the business without loosing its competitive side and continuously innovating and improving for the changing needs of the market/public. Those traits are the same denominator shared by two successful businesses in their respective fields. The Nuffnang which is the Asia-Pacific's First Blog Advertising Community and the Hapee toothpaste which is the first ever Filipino toothpaste brand to hit the Philippines. We can truly say that both are of First Class....

A Call For Wellness

2011-05-25T15:00:00.004+08:00

There is a saying that health is wealth and for most of us, it is being neglected because of so many things around us tempting us to do otherwise. Some would say that maintaining a healthy lifestyle are only for those who can afford it. Going to the gym, hiring a nutritionist that plans your meal, etc, etc...But come to think of it, even the simplest man can live this kind of lifestyle. It is only a matter of being resourceful and creative. For example, if you cannot afford to enroll a class on a gym you can simply flex those muscles inside your house by cleaning it everyday. Walking around the village is also an alternative to loose those extra weight. Hiring a nutritionist isn't necessary at all if you know how to portion your food and avoid those that are bad for you. Remember to always eat in moderation.

There is also an important factor in having a good health. Aside from exercise and moderate eating, it is also important to sustain our body by drinking vitamins and supplements. It also plays a vital role inside our body. There is a new product that is being introduced by QPlus, a network marketing company that specializes in wellness and good health, the Ole Olive leaf extract. They say that this product is 5 times more antioxidant than a Vitamin C. Having to extract from the fresh leaves of olives, it makes more powerful antioxidant than Green Tea and Grape Seed Extract. It supports you body's immune system, minimizes free-radical damage to body 's cell caused by pollutants, lessen the damage caused by oxidation and helps to maintain a good health.

Qplus also offers what they called the Bio Resonance Hair Analysis. It is a non-invasive testing system that captures the energy frequency in our hair and roots. It helps to determine the toxic accumulations, nutritional deficiencies, food sensitivities and microbial activities inside our body that affects us from having a good health.

Aside from the two newly launched products they also have Vital Code Optima, Vital Code Alpha Women and Vital Code Alpha Men.

After acquiring a good health through their products, they are also open to help each and every one of us a chance to earn. As I have mentioned above, they are a network marketing company. All you have to do is sign up and pay for a specific package that you want to avail. Yo don't have to leave your present job nor it doesn't matter if you are a housewife as long as you have the passion and drive to succeed then, this is for you. The company is on its 12th year now, debt free plus they are continuously expanding worldwide so you have a lot of chance to succeed.
