flush it!

Surely many of us wants to take care of the environment. But damage is done already and it'll take real effort, discipline, and time to see changes. What's your share in saving the planet? I think one great way is conserving water, which we often take for granted. We may not realize it but everyday we're wasting so much water through our toilets and our sinks. In an attempt to educate people about this, the WHO declared the 19th day of November as the World Toilet Day. They want people to learn how to save water, even providing ways to do so. For instance, a devise called Dual Flush toilet conservation kit.

Such dual flush conversion kit will turn your toilet into a dual flush, thus enhancing the performance of your old ones. It acts like a low flow toilets, even saving more water than costly HET toilets. Think of it, if an average person flushes a toilet about 2,500 times a year, upon using this device, he and his family can actually save 49 gallons of water a day or a swimming pool of water in a year! That's enough to support crops and farms isn't it? Imagine how it can help a lot of people all over.

a pendant

One of the nicest things in blogging is that I get to thank merchants for the good job they're doing. If I have to, I would even applaud them for coming up with products that benefited me a lot. For that, let me spread good words concerning Quantum Scalar Energy Pendant, a not so ordinary necklace father bought a few months ago. By the way, (this isn't a paid post LOL!) if you may know.

Alright, so I was such a wimp lately, feeling tired, sick and exhausted the whole day. I'm kinda used to it, blaming on being asthmatic. But apparently my lazy, sick days are because of the computer. Being online most of the time has taken its toll on me, back-pain and migraines are what am having. So I asked the father to lend me his pendant, still skeptical of its health benefits though. But after using it for a couple of days, I've noticed my energy improved. I'm more focus, alert, relax, I mean it it feels right!
So in case you bump into this pendant, I say you should try it. It works for me, pretty well. ^_^

Have a beautiful week everyone!

Smart vs. Globe

I can no longer count how many times I complained about my internet provider. The previous one I had was Smart broadband and yes, I managed to deal with them for more than 2 years. Their connection wasn't that impressive. When it comes to downloads, I'd say they could have been better. Knowing they're the country's number 1 telecommunications company, I expected much from them. But I found myself complaining and frustrated, wishing that someday a better ISP will come my way.

So imagine my happiness when a friend introduced me a new internet option. She told me that it'll beat Smart's features in so many ways. That it's faster, stronger, and way better among all the other broadband companies. That it's the kind of browsing experience I will definitely enjoy and all. And since am desperate to switch, no thinking twice, I ditch Smart and welcomed GLOBE broadband with open arms.

Now, if only I knew. I should have been more skeptical and considered things carefully. I should have been smarter and stick with SMART. The past 3 months that am using their server has been miserable for me. Thinking about my 1 year contract with them makes me sick and furious! Sure you can't blame me. You know how important it is to have a strong internet connection for our online duties. Our blogs depend on it completely! As much as I would like to blog hop and drop ec's, update and stay active, I can't! Believe me, the moment I click your links, the page doesn't load. Lucky for me if I can visit 10 blogs before I get booted, yes, that's how sick it is! When it comes to speed, downloads, uploads, signal and stability, Globe fall short to their promises.


Grrooowwwllll!!!!!!!!! That's it... I've said my piece!

accessoria

Girl's Talk once again and sistah's... it's time to flaunt our dearly loved accessories. Am not into dresses or shoes that much but bling-blings, I love them! Earrings and bangles the most.

how the poor live...

One of the nicest story I've read so far, it actually made me a little teary eyed.. T_T


One day, a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family. On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"

"It was great, Dad."

"Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked.

"Oh yeah," said the son.

"So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.

The son answered, "I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden, and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden, and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard, and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on, and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us; they have friends to protect them."

The boy's father was speechless.

Then his son added, "Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we are."

thanks Santhanam for sharing and flickr for the photo... :D

sister's week tag

Be the kind of women that when your feet hit the floor each morning,
The devil says "Oh Crap, She's Up."

Sister, life is too short to wake up with regrets.
So love the people who treat you right.
Love the ones who don't just because you can.
Believe in everything happens for a reason.
If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.
If it changes your life, let it.
Kiss slowly. Forgive quickly.
God never said life would be easy.
He just promise it would be worth it.
Today is sister's day.

~~~

Hope it's still not too late for this tag but I don't care, am still grabbing it anyway! ^_^

Thanks manang Kurdapya & ate Alf for sharing the LabbyDabby... muaahh!!!

Now am tagging all the ladies in my blogroll. Para sa kapatiran etich!!!

mah fave shoes...

As if I'm a girl...wahahaha! Anywayz, it's my first time to join "Girls Talk," a weekly meme brought to us by no other than Miss NikoGanda of Girls Rule. And what is this all about? Well it tackles about all the GURLY stuff in the whole wide world. For this week, all the ladies in the house should come out in the open and brag about their favorite shoes of all time.

So what do I have here? Hmmm, the photo below is my fave gladiator sandal given by a missy named Joe. She has actually given me a lot of wow stuff but this one rocks the most. This isn't a shoes I guess,.. well whatever... my feet loves it, lol! As you can see, it's so colorful like a Vinta, hehe.. so I only use it when am wearing an all black attire.


Girls, mind to tell about your fave shoes? Join us then, winks!

Tuesday spiel

I was in the mall with my cousin the other day, hunting for the little missy's perfect get-up lol! A work-related event requires them to be at their best and since she trust my taste, of course, I helped her did the shopping. I was tired, if it wasn't for the yummy sandwich we had for lunch, the long walk wouldn't be worth it I guess. Kidding aside it was fun! We had the best view at the restaurant and our taste buds were filled, right cousin? LOL! Since she landed her dream job recently, do you think she's suppose to give me a treat? I really think so! And what better way to make me happy than to spend a day at the spa! Yeah, she knows it's the ultimate treat for me.

On a second note, I found this on line shop that sells the widest selection of spa products and spa accessories in very reasonable prices. For those planning to venture out in spa business, this is the right place for you to check out. I'm talking about Spa Shop Direct, it's here you can find all the stuff you need for that one perfect spa. From towels, blankets, couch covers, blankets, beaded hangers, candles, and so much more! They also have these very neat spa uniforms for the staff and salon uniforms as well. Feel free to browse their products and find all that you need, alright?

Anyway, I wish you all a blessed and fun-filled week guys. See you at your blogs!

da "Day"

Couple of times I mentioned about my friend's wedding that was so fast approaching. So sad though I wasn't able to attend it last September because of geographic barriers and ya' know what I mean, lol! Anyway, t'was a super success and everything she dreamt of came true. Well am happy for you ate Analou & to kuya Vincent of course. May you be forever inlove and eternally happy with each other!

ahem... ka vongga jud sa mga pictures bah, hehe!

after Ondoy

I don't know but for the past few days I seem to just neglect my online duties. What's even worst is that it doesn't bother me at all. So I gave myself an ultimatum, this blogger's block or whatever you wish to call it must come to an end, or else this could be a dead link soon.. oh no!

Alright enough about my uncomplicated life, this isn't about me anyway. I just have to say my piece about Ondoy, the storm that blew us away! I lived here in the Southern most tip of the Philippines and the rain showers and strong winds we had here last Saturday, Sept. 26 was nothing compared to what the people in NCR experienced. You've seen the news and the pictures no doubt and words aren't enough to describe the damage, the pain, and the lost Pinoys are goin thru right now. Rich and poor, no material possession was able to save them during the storm. As if I was watching a movie, with heroes and their acts of heroism, authorities and their power, victims and their plots, and countless of hair-raising scenes befalling upon them. But it's no movie definitely! It was the reality that struck us for just a single day. I honestly wish am there now, helping out and doing what I can. Seeing the aftermath leaves me breathless. The woman below was just among the victims in Marikina, one of the hardest hit by the storm.

As of the news this morning, there are 100 plus people reported to be dead. Many others are still missing and many more are still not rescued.

My prayers goes out for them, especially to our many brothers and sisters in faith. Jah will provide escape!
