I Would Study Again!

Call Center have been a great help in the nation's economy. Hundreds of businesses around the world opt to have their contact centers to be based in the Philippines as most of the Filipinos are able to understand and speak English. Most of the accounts are for billing and customer services and some are technical in nature. I happen to be on the technical side. I was a product of a technical school - having a diploma in Electronics and Communications Engineering...but unfortunately, I was not able to immediately put my knowledge into practice as my first job is clerical in nature. Anyways, the wheels have turned and luckily, since I am now a technical specialist working in a dsl account - I am now able to practice my IT training. Now, I am still looking forward to improve my skills and consider enrolling myself in some tech schools. My company just recently gave us an option to get additional courses that would be beneficial for the job and whats good is thatthey will be the one to shoulder the tuition fee! What a great way to learn additional skills for free! =)

Realizations


Being a work from home mom is one of my ambitions in life. I want to raise my own child by myself, being with her 24/7, witnessing her first smile - her first walk - her first grin, I want to experience all the first in her while she is still a child. Those moments are priceless and as a mom I feel being able to see all of those would be my rewards for carrying her in my womb for 9 months. Though I want to be at home most of the time, of course, I also would
want to help my soon to be husband financially as well. What I am thinking is to put up my own mini restaurant someday. I am not gifted with a great talent in cooking but I am willing to learn. I think I would enroll in one of those culinary schools to master the art of cooking. Not only would it be good for my soon to be business but of course my husband to be would love me more if I have that talent. Someday, if I already have a spare time, I would check on the net to look for a chef school near our place andI hope the culinary school that I would choose is good and patient enough to teach
a novice cook like me.

Who Nose?

I am one of those millions of people who wants to have my nose improved (hahaha!). I am not gifted with a pointed nose, maybe because I am a Filipino - and unlike our Western counterparts who are gifted with sharp pointed nasal organ - having a "flat" nose is a normal thing. As I said on my previous post, beauty is in the eye of the beholder... so some would look at my nose as my asset and some would treat that as an ultimate liability and flaw. In any case, I love who I am. I am not a vain person and I am contented with what God has given me - but I would not deny that if given the chance and resources - I want to have my nose done. I once read an article about undergoing nasal surgery - it shows that you need to understand that your goal should be improvement rather than perfection in considering nasal surgery. I know although I am blogging about my willingness to undergo such procedure - I know I still need to rethink before undergoing such surgery. I've also heard about the bad effect of nasal surgery on other people that they need to have a 2nd surgery and undergo perforated septum repair after some complications arise because of the first procedure. Well, I believe if you are someone who is brave enough and you feel that undergoing such surgery would improve the way you live your life - then go ahead. Nobody is responsible for your own happiness but you yourself.


Pretty Mahal

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder - another person perceive you as ugly but another one sees you as a beautiful creature. The standard of beauty in one's country is a contribution of a lot of factors such as culture, climate, and way of living among others. Remember, "Mahal" - a midget actress from the Philippines was once tagged by her former boyfriend Jimboy Salazar- a former member of the 80's show That's Entertainment to be the "the prettiest woman in the world" inspite and despite of her physical appearance. The couple became a laughing stock and local media even deemed the real life love team as unpleasant . A local film director, Wenn Deramas, was even quoted saying " It's tastier to eat salted shrimp and mango than to watch them - they're like a toothache!" This statement only proves how judgemental people are when it comes to one's physical looks. No wonder why people with "not so perfect" physical appearance tends to seek advice from beauty experts - even Mahal herself admitted that she is undergoing Botox process on a regular basis to help improve her appearance. I would not be surprised that because of the stereotyping people have for beauty - she would also consider undergoing a cosmetic surgery such as the famous Maryland Cosmetic Surgery Procedures in which was also recognized by Hollywood stars. Most stars undergo such procedure to enhance their appearance as they need to maintain their good looks because of their job.

"To Mahal - goodluck and don't mind people mocking you - you are beautiful in your own right. "

Botox, anyone?



Are you afraid of being old? Does the thought of having wrinkles due to old age frightens you? We've all heard the clichés: Wrinkles are roadmaps of your life - but many of us would rather not be reminded of the distance we've traveled. What can you do to avoid having this? First, understand what causes wrinkles. Then, if you still want to reduce wrinkles, explore your treatment options. The most significant factors are aging, facial muscle contractions, sun damage and smoking. The last three contributors can be avoided through a lifestyle change - but aging - (which is the most common cause of having a wrinkle) is inevitable. In almost every country, the proportion of people aged over 60 years is growing faster than any other age group so I could just imagine how many "wrinkled face" elders are finding a lot of ways to lessen it (or if possible get rid of it). Actually, there are a lot of ways to get rid of it - wrinkle creams, surgeries, and lasers can help but due to recent technology - doctors have found an innovative process and a safe and a simple way to look younger by BOTOX.

It is a popular non-surgical injection that temporarily reduces or eliminates frown lines, wrinkles, crows feet near the eyes and thick bands in the neck. The toxin block the nerve impulses, temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles while giving the skin smoother, more refreshed appearance. With the a lot positive feedbacks from people who tried New York City botox treatments - I am convinced that it is the best way to look flawlessly younger. Whats good is that it does'nt only makes you feel younger but an accidental discovery also shows that Botox relieves chronic headache when injected in the area close to the head. Studies shows that it can also relieve , excessive sweating and muscles spasms.

Bonding Moments with Mother

I really love the feeling of being able to treat my mother out at least twice a month for a lunch or dinner. Spending the day with her with nothing to do but laugh, chat and have a great time gives me the feeling that I'm doing something good in my life. We usually hang out every payday...that's obvious or whenever we have some money spare for it and she would normally sleep over to my place afterwards. We usually go to a mall near our house (most of the time)but are also considering other places such as parks and museums. We also are fond going to bazaars because we are so into cheap cute things and we both have mastered the art of "negotiating" for a lesser price for a product. Through her I was able to know how to value money and how to make the most out of it. I grew up not being able to go to the mall as often as I want (because of financial reasons) but its a good thing now that I do have the resources ... I can do as I please and I could now pay back my dear mother for all the things she've sacrificed for me when I am still depending on her. We're closer now than before - I would usually call her especially when I need her opinion regarding a particular decision I need to make and she usually gives me a lots of mom advice whenever I share to her my problems. Life will not be as happy as it is - now that I am able to see my mother often. Thank you Lord for the my mother and I'm looking forward for a thousand more bonding moments with her...

Summer Sunshine


Summer time is here once more - so before you expose yourself in the heat of the sun, make sure you bring along with you some handy tips on how to take care of your skin first. Skin is a part of the body just as the liver, heart and kidneys actually it's the largest organ in the human body. When the flow of blood is hindered to the skin for any reason, the skin hardens, thickens and loses its normal appearance. As you grow older in years. the circulation of blood to the skin is lessened and it loses its youthful appearance; its color changes and wrinkles begin to form on its surface. For that reason, we need to to make sure that we know how to properly care for it. One good way on how to do that is to stay away from the harmful rays of the sun. Over exposure on it is one of the main causes of ageing skin -this only dries up the skin, accelerates ageing and also darkens it. To slow down this dehydrating process women in tropical countries should drink a lot of water and fruit juices. Also if possible, make sure that you put in skin moisturizing products that would help smooth roughness and condition the skin due to dryness brought by harmful sun rays.
