I recently found this informative site which gives up-to-date information regarding migraine facts and prevention. I suggested this site as reading to my sister-in-law who suffers from regular migraine, mostly occurring during her period. Granted that she already takes enough medicine, the more information she gets may definitely aid her in coping and preventing the pain migraine brings. If you’re one such person bothered by regular migraines I suggest you visit the website of the New York Headache Center.

The problem of obesity has never been an issue here in the Philippines, at least not in the last decade. But in recent years, health concerns have been escalating because of certain lifestyles or unwholesome diet. The good news though is that there are routines and medical procedures available to counteract the growing threat. Being a little more familiar with exercise and diet as a cure rather than medical procedures I took the liberty of browsing the web and happen into a lap band Houston surgery center site which gave helpful info regarding a safe procedure call Lap Band Surgery — an operation not yet mainstream but may soon as its is supposedly the least traumatic procedure available. I guess I’ll wait until it gets to Philippine-soil before delving more into this healthy option.

And I hate to admit it. How could I not like Katie? Just look at her.

Everything about her in that picture is perfect.

Flawless makeup. Well-toned body. Grrrreat Hair.

Gorgeous Gorgeous Gorgeous Goooorgeous Armani Dress.

Killer Shoes.

I bet I’d look like that if I have Tom as my husband.

Formula 1 fans unite! This year Formula 1 will be held twice in Asia (in Singapore and in Malaysia) so there are more chances to catch the action live. My husband and his friends are big fans of the Ferrari F1 team and have been rooting for their favorite team for more than a decade now. Of course, most of them were heartbroken when Michael Schumacher retired from racing to be replaced by younger talents like Fernando Alonso, Kimi Raikkonen and Lewis Hamilton. With the season almost here, you can bet that F1 addicts will be racing home on Saturday and Sunday evenings to watch the qualifying rounds and the actual races.

For Filipinos, like my husband and his friends, Asian courses are the most accessible if and when they do decide to watch the races live. But for those who would want to see the races in European countries such as Belgium, Spain, Monacco, Great Britain, Germany, Italy and Hungary, there are online sites where you can get your Sports Tickets, even Concert Tickets pretty much like online airline ticket purchases – now isn’t that convenient?! Tickets available online anytime. Never content with just watching the action at home, arrangements like these will definitely make it easier to experience the events live, up-close, personal and definitely more exciting.

I have worn eyeglasses since my early years in college. And as far as I can remember, I always had the fashionable, more expensive brands (thanks to my mom whose medical expenses included the cost of prescription eyeglasses). I always go to this certain optical shop when shopping for eyeglasses, but I may skip this next time as I recently discovered an online store where I could buy a nice looking pair:

Zenni Optical: Sell Rx Glasses $8 with case!

Those are just a few of the store’s offers. Not bad huh? Now I can’ t wait till my doctor prescribes me a new set.

Three weeks ago, I almost pulled out one of the two insurance policies I got from one of the biggest insurance companies in the country because (as per my agent) the company would not be able to meet the promised plan value anymore. I was pissed to bits, I tell you. Good thing I have a husband who brings me back to sanity on such occasions. Since there’s only three more payments left, hubby advised against pulling out and told me to just settle my obligation. I may not get the expected returns, but there will be returns nonetheless. After this experience, trust me not to get a life insurance quote from that company any longer. I’d rather put my hard-earned money in an insurance company other than IL.

I was finally able to attend the Basic Make-up Workshop conducted by Myca Feng last Saturday.

The afternoon session began by Myca distributing handouts and makeup brush sets. She then proceeded to discuss topics such as basic skin care, basic makeup tools, and proper makeup application. The hours that followed included makeup demonstrations by the makeup artist and actual makeup application by the students. I was eyes and ears during the demo since I really wanted to learn how to apply eye makeup. I even volunteered to be the model on the glam makeup demo Thing is she only did half of my face then the other half was up to me. Scary! I thought I’d look like it at the end of the workshop! Hahaha! But because she was a pretty good instructor, I was able to replicate what she did (save for the eyebrows which I forgot to line. hahaha). Here’s a photo I took when I got home:

• Fyi, Myca did the right side of my face, I did the left (notice the eyebrows? )
• Don’t mind the lips as I already removed the lipstick after our merienda. Didn’t bother to re-apply anymore

I have never seen a dishwasher installed in a Filipino home. This is most probably because Filipino households have at least one helper who does the dishwashing for them. But I bet if we do not have helpers, a dishwasher would be a staple in our homes. What brand to buy though? I’ve heard of the Hobart dishwasher brand, and I think it’s one of the more reliable products out there.  May it be the Hobart dishwasher built-in type or the stand-alone Hobart dishwasher type, one can be assured that he’s getting a quality product.  But hey.  Until the time comes when we can afford dishwashers over helpers, buying this nice to have kitchen equipment may be put on hold.

Got these from Jody, Abie, Nice, and Pam:

Thank you moms!
