I am so fortunate this semester because one of my co-workers at work let me borrow her books. I wanted to rent it, but she told me to just use it and return it when I am done, so she could sell textbooks online. She actually got the books online for less that is why she is selling it online too. She found a place that accepts the books back in a very fair amount of money. The bookstore we have in school is selling used books and it is very pricey. I really wonder how they managed to stay open without nobody buying from them. If I am a student and in need of money, the bookstore at school is the last thing in my list to go buy the books. Well, not unless if I could not find it anywhere else. I am just so thankful that I am also giving away one book to my classmate in my Speech class. I am just glad to be able to share it to her too. It is like paying it forward.
Printing
Papa and I have not transferred the pictures from the SD card that we took from his digital camera when we went home to the Philippines. I planned to print some as a gift to my Aunt in Australia for her birthday, and we have not have the chance yet. My schedule has been so crazy, and Papa is just waiting for me when to go. Her birthday is not until July 22, so hopefully I will have the time then to get away. I may have to print it in one of the stores nearby. It is so convenient that we can just take the SD card a long and print it that way rather than bringing the entire camera in.

Gift for Dada
Tuesday, June 22, 2010
I really had a hard time getting Dada a father's day gift. He has told me so many times that he doesn't need anything and that my love is all he needs. Well, we are both in school, and he was nice enough to get me a netbook, so I don't have to go to the computer lab we have at school. It is very noisy in there, and when I am writing my paper, there are times when I could not concentrate at all. The laptop was too bulky to haul around and Papa and Frankie are using it. So, I thought of getting him his own netbook. I got it for him just before father's day and he was so thankful. Although, we study together but there are times when he needs to go alone at times when I could not give my hours away on the weekend that I work. It work out really well and he is happy.
I like going to school with him. We monitor each other and tell each other our progress at school. I am so thankful that he decided to go back to school. It is so much fun studying and accomplishing things together.

Lack of Sleep
Friday, June 4, 2010
Since school started, I have very little sleep. I go to school four times a week on top of my 40 hours a week. Mondays and Wednesdays is my 6:30-9:20 p.m. class then on Tuesdays and Thursdays is my communications class that starts at 9:00 a.m. to 11:50 a.m. As much as I want to sleep over, I couldn't because I don't want to be late with my class. Fridays is the only time I could sleep over because that is the only time that I don't have any class. It is rough I say but every challenging. I walk like a zombie at work, and my co-workers had told me that I looked like I haven't slept in days. I love sleep and not getting enough sleep is a challenge to me. My eyes looks horrible. I could probably use an eye cream right now. There are dark circles around my eyes and they are surely not attractive. Before I know it, summer will be over and all I have to do then is look back of what a challenging summer it had been.

Cream
There are a lot of creams in the market today. There is the anti-itch cream. Cream for the acne and zits. Let's not forget the testosterone cream that is very helpful to those people who are suffering with impotence, hair loss and of course those who's sex drive had gone downhill.
Imagine yourself for one second, you had hair all your life and all of the sudden you start losing them. You used to have a full set of hair and now what is left is an empty space right above your forehead. As much as you want to deny it, I am sure that deters your confidence for a little bit. On another note, imagine yourself having so much energy when it comes to sex and now just the thought of it makes you sick. There will come a time that you would probably think that you are not normal. You are normal alright, you just need the help of the testosterone cream to help get back to the original you.

Giving Pops A Day Off
Papa has been a great help here. I don't even know how will I do everything without him. He takes care of Frankie and the food we eat among other things. He takes care of the outside like cutting the grass and picking up after those helicopters the fell off the ground. He also cleaned the gutters already. Since he has been really awesome, we decided that he should get a day-off. When we are home he gets to go wherever he wants to go. He could take one of the cars with him. Now that he knows where the movie theater is, I will definitely let him watch a movie because I know that is one of his passion. Ryan and I will try to do all our assignments on Saturday, so that this Sunday we are home with Frankie, and Papa could go wherever he wants to go. It is so awesome that he can now drive himself around.

Eczema
I would never wish eczema to anyone else. I have seen how bad it can do to a person's skin. I used to know someone who's son was suffering from eczema when he was only a few months old. The eczema was concentrated in his hands and on his face specially around the month. When it gets so hot outside or cold, he would start itching that sometimes it bled. His mother watched him all the time that he would not scratch his skin so bad, but when he took a nap or sleep during the night, he was unknowingly itching his eczema. They went to different skin doctors, but none seems to work. It only alleviate it temporarily and it is back again in a few days, or he was back to itching again. Thankfully, someone told him about Eucerin which was good for eczema, and she hds been using it since. She just couldn't believe that something that is over the counter worked really well.

Review
Wednesday, June 2, 2010
The very first thing I do every time I plan to buy something is look for consumer reviews. I don't know how many times they have saved me from possibly wasting my time and money. I have to say it is time consuming, but it surely saves me a lot of hassle and headache in the long run. It has never been so easy now to read reviews on people who have used to products that I intend to buy. All they have to do now is go online and search about it. This is also very helpful for those who are looking for weight loss solutions that could help them lose the weight. There is a 7-dfbx review that can help the consumer decide on which one to go for. With the name itself, I would have never guessed what it was for, but thanks to reviews now I know what a 7-dfbx and how it works to help one get started with losing weight.

Second Video
I wish this video was a lot longer. It was Ging-ging's friend who recorded this while she was singing, and I guess he wasn't paying attention. This was one of the videos of her singing during the wedding.

Cleanser
My acne had always been my issue since I was a teenager. It gets all over my face and they don't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. Its been ok lately because I only get a few of them every once in a while. My co-worker had mentioned to me about using a colon cleanser that would help detoxify and cleanse my body. It is supposed to be really good with acne and weight loss. It is like hitting two birds with one stone, but which color cleanser is the best? Thankfully, there are places online that one could get different colon cleanser reviews to help them decide which one to go for. I better start reading to find out which one works.

Lipozene
I was at work yesterday when one of my co-workers asked me if she looked ok. I was stunned by her question, so I looked at her from her head to foo,t and I told her she looked just fine. I also added that there are people that looked worst. She smiled and said that I wasn't being nice. I told her that on my bad days, I thought of that. I may look like I just got out of bed, but I know I am not alone. Then she added that she got what I meant now.
She is such a nice girl, but she sometimes dresses more than her body can handle. She is overweight and though she is conscious about it, she doesn't seem to think about it when she dresses. She probably needs the help of lipozene. She started exercising before, and I am not quite sure what happened, and why she stopped. I hope she figures it out soon.

Exhausted
It is only the first day of class, and I am exhausted already. I need to come up with a speech tomorrow and read two chapters in the textbook for one class and another 3 chapters with my astronomy class. I can't wait for the weekend, so I could start reading and preparing for the week. That is the only time I really have besides my day off during the week. I will be ok. All I really need is to get the hang of this and manage my time well. I can't wait when summer is over for more challenges ahead of me.

Zencore
If you go to a department store, most of their displays are always and almost geared towards women. In the women's section, there is the petites, misses casual, misses updated and women's plus size. Let's not forget the junior's department too that is also geared towards women. The Men's department, on the other hand, is a very small corner of the store. They have the men's casual and dress and the young men's department. That is why I find it interesting to find a blog and an open forum that talks about men and their needs. After all, they also need health products like women does and it is nice to know that there is a place where they can get readily information on products such as zencore. What is even wonderful is, it is free.
