QAs Top Performer


I know this is a late post already…Ai, my dearly loved colleague and friend is home for a week now…back to the place she calls home – Bicol…

Her four months stay here in Manila made her family happy… I get to know her better… she shares stories about her boyfriend, her family, her plans… everything... I can’t actually believe that she’s talkative too… when we’re still in Legazpi, she hardly talk… but like Amiel, my former colleague who waited for months to mingle with us, Ai came out of her shell after 1 month… congrats Ai! lol… I know you’re happy there and you are complete because you are reunited with your ministry…

splash island

Summer season is not over yet so let’s talk about beating the summer heat away…wasn’t able to join my colleagues in their Subic and Pagudpud escapade and I know that summer days are finally coming to a close…so tomorrow, me and my friends are going to have some wet and wild fun…we’re going to Splash Island in Biñan, Laguna…we are going to beat the summer heat away from the pollution and noise of Metro Manila…and besides, what is a summer holiday without going to a beach resort or public swimming pool to cool off?

Located at the Southwoods Ecocentrum in Biñan, Laguna, Splash Island is known as the largest water park in the country. Getting there is easy as it is only some nine kilometers after the Filinvest Toll Plaza along the South Super Highway.

Splash Island contains more than 12 water attractions and can accommodate 6,000 guests at any given time.

Among the attractions are the Dos Supremos and King Pilipit slides with plenty of turns and giant twisters. The Big Bam Boo, Twisted Palms and Tausug Trails offer riders on inner tubes with thrilling back-to-back 360 degree turns, full circle curves and down-the-tube dives.

For those who opt for edge-of-your-seat thrills, they can trythe Magellan’s Drop – a long, four-level slide where riders race their way to pool level.

There’s a special place for youngsters where at least six attractions around the park are designed in a kid-friendly way. The Curl of the Orient, Camp Carambola and the Twin Coco Knots are actually baby versions of the big slides. In Bannakita, children can have a river adventure while the Boon Docks gives them a delightful wilderness expedition. On the other hand, the tykes will have the time of their lives in the Water Wahoo attraction, an interactive kiddie pool with innovative water play activities.

A great deal of park habitues find relaxation in the Balsa River floating easy on a raft as they drift along the gently flowing river around the park which flows at a pace of three miles per hour.

Another group ride attraction is the Rio Montanosa, a breathtaking mountain high river raft ride the entire family will rave about. In addition, the grand entertainment package comes with high-level security and convenience where the park employs close to a hundred pool technicians, life guards, guest relations officers and security personnel.

After all those exciting slipping, sliding and splashing, guests can recharge at the Fiesta sa Pulo were a sumptuous feast is served. Bringing food into the park is not allowed but there are numerous food establishments that serve food at reasonable prices.

Clean water is assured through a centralized filtration system located at the center of the park. A team of pool technicians perform an hourly check on the water to make sure that it is healthy for treading. During its first year of operation, it has received an excellent rating on aquatic safety from Jeff Ellis and Associates, Inc. of Texas, a highly-acclaimed international aquatic safety consulting firm.

break-ups

break ups be likely to occur for many reasons… infidelity, unsatisfied sex life, jealousy and so much more… in some cases, things that cause break ups can be taken into any new relationships, causing it to be doomed from the start... but this need not happen… any person going through a break up can now get the help that they need and deserve to get their life back on track.

but… the loss of a relationship can be incredibly hard… you can feel so much pain… not only the grief from losing someone important in your life, but the pain of seeing your hopes and dreams of a future life together disappear as well…

you’ll have this feeling like you're starting over… you may feel like you're starting over… that you've lost everything that was important to you and you're not sure what to do anymore… it may be hard for you to imagine your life without your partner - your lives have been so intertwined… but hey! it’s not the end of the world… this is for you, my friend…

here is how to deal with break ups:

Ø Yes there will definitely be a period of intense shock, anger, hatred, jealousy, self doubts etc. Maybe even total disorientation and re-adjustments. Remember by letting your emotions control you are allowing the final triumph to your ‘opponent’. So don’t let this period of heightened emotions last more than 3 days.

Ø Don’t feed on these emotions to sustain them. Just like you would very willingly go under a surgeon’s knife to cut off a cancerous growth, treat this situation like a cancer. Say you have just got a confirmation from your doctor that you have cancer. And you must get out from under its influence as fast as you can. So you can first sit down and cry, scream or rant then let it sink in. Accept the fact and then concentrate on the healing process. Let it go.

Ø Ok Get this straight. Something definitely went wrong in that relationship, but first thing first... You are not the cause of it. Period.

Ø Don’t waste your energies and remaining finances in ‘getting back at him’ or getting revenge. It’s better for you this way. Let this abusive, unappreciative person go. Nature works in its own ways. The world is full of excellent people, and this is its way of enabling you reach someone more appreciative of you.

Ø First take stalk of your situation. What do you need to do to get back in control? How do you recoup your losses? Talk to someone you trust. Do you need to talk to your lawyer?

Ø Next you may need a change of ‘scene’ doing something totally different from what you used to do together. Can you take a few days ‘change of scene’ vacation and go somewhere else or do something totally different.

Ø Concentrate on building up your life and start the healing process. Remember the world is huge, beautiful and full of surprises. This is a ‘re-birth’ for you – a chance to start over again and make something better. Remember it’s not your loss; it’s a gain – a bonus from nature to escape from a relationship that was not going anywhere. So make the exit gracefully and positively and make a grand entrée in to your new life. People are going to respect you for it.

remember, there is more to life than crying over a break-up… the only way to get out of a relationship is with one’s head held high… and it‘s time you felt it for yourself…

keep also in mind that not every love relationship has a happy ending and thousands of breakups happen each day...

health effects of cigarette smoking and tips to help you quit smoking

I've read chie's blog (bhem's friend) post about cigarettes...i'm not a cigarette addict...but I smoke occasionally…ahm so, I decided to make a blog entry about cigarettes, the health effects of cigarettes, and most importantly, tips to help you quit cigarette smoking…

Over 40,000 careful studies have proven that smoking causes disease and death. Every medical and health agency agrees. Every year, more deaths are caused by smoking-related diseases compared to AIDS, drug abuse, car accidents and murder combined.

Take a look at the facts about cigarette smoking and your lungs.

Cigarette Smoking: The Facts

· Cancer is the second leading cause of death and was among the first diseases causually linked to smoking.

· Smoking causes about 90% of lung cancer deaths in men and almost 80% of lung cancer deaths in women. The risk of dying from lung cancer is more than 23 times higher among men who smoke cigarettes, and about 13 times higher among women who smoke cigarettes compared with never smokers.

· Smoking causes cancers of the bladder, oral cavity, pharynx, larynx (voice box), esophagus, cervix, kidney, lung, pancreas, and stomach, and causes acute myeloid leukemia.

Women and Smoking: The Facts

• Lung cancer has now surpassed breast cancer as the leading cause of cancer deaths among women.
• Current female smokers aged 35 and older are more than 10 times as likely to die from emphysema or chronic bronchitis than nonsmoking females.
• Americans are starting to smoke at a younger age, especially young girls.
• Pregnant smokers have higher rates of miscarriage, stillbirths and babies who are born too soon. More of their babies die soon after birth from crib death than newborns of nonsmoking mothers.
• As more women start to smoke, their death rates from smoking-related lung diseases are fast approaching male smoking rates.

Men and Smoking: The Facts

• Cigarette smoking is the #1 cause of cancer death in men.
• Current male smokers over age 35 are almost 10 times more likely to die of lung disease and 22 times more likely to die from lung cancer than nonsmoking males.

Tips to Help You Stop Smoking

· Make a list of your reasons for quitting and say them often.

· Set a quit date and tell everyone you are going to quit.

· Keep a supply of healthy snacks handy.

· Increase your exercise. Walk more.

· Make specific plans for what you'll do when the urge hits. For example, take a deep breath, get up and walk around, call a friend for help, keep your hands busy. Remember the urge passes in just a few minutes whether you smoke or not.

· Remove all cigarettes, ashtrays, matches and lighters from your home, workplace and car.

life is really unfair...

while doing this post, i'm crying...I don't want to make a blog entry about my sadness...but I can’t help it…I’m suffering from this misery for two weeks now…after I’ve learned about our salary adjustment…

if there is one thing I want right now, it is to go home…to go back to the place where I used to be so happy…genuinely happy…in spite of the not so low salary, I find happiness…so now, I’m asking myself, “did I make the right decision?”

what have I done to deserve this? I’m working hard…I cried, yes I cried…twice…but I continued to work hard…I cry because that’s the easiest way for me to release my resentment…and now I’m crying again…

the pros and cons of drinking beer

because "beer" has been our constant buddy whenever me and my friends go out, today, I will blog about the pros and cons of drinking beer...

Sometimes even referred to as "liquid bread", beer is one of the oldest and one of most popular alcoholic beverages in the world. Brewer's yeast, one of the beer's main components, is known to be a rich source of nutrients and this means that beer may have some health benefits.

So, does this mean beer is a healthy drink? Checkout the pros and cons of beer drinking and come to a decision after.

Pros of Drinking Beer:

Ø Source of vitamins, minerals and flavonoids. Beer is rich in many vitamins of the B group and in such minerals as magnesium. Barley and hops used in the production of beer are rich in flavonoids, which have powerful antioxidant effects.

Ø Don't just believe us:

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) has completed an extensive review of current scientific knowledge about the health effects of moderate alcohol consumption. It found that the lowest death rate from all causes occurs at the level of one to two drinks per day. That is, moderate drinkers have the greatest longevity.

Ø Aid against Coronary heart disease (CHD). There is a quite strong evidence that light-to-moderate alcohol consumption has cardio-protective properties. Many research studies demonstrate a lower coronary heart disease incidence among moderate beer drinkers. These moderate drinkers are at lower risk of CHD-related mortality than both heavy drinkers and abstainers. The vitamin B6 in beer also seems to prevent the alcohol-induced rise in blood homocysteine, a probable heart disease risk factor.

Ø Cholesterol. Moderate alcohol intake affects many processes in the body, one of which is the significant increase in HDL cholesterol - the good cholesterol. There is supporting evidence for beer's cardio-protective effect and for its help in altering the ratio of beneficial HDL cholesterol to the LDL cholesterol.

Ø Kidney stones. Beer consumption may reduce the risk of developing kidney stones. Finnish researches found that there was a 40% lower risk of kidney stones in beer drinkers.

Ø X-Rays radioprotection. Japan researchers found that beer helps reduce chromosomal damage from radiation exposure.

Cons of Drinking Beer.

Ø "Beer belly". Heavy beer drinking may promote abdominal obesity in men, so called "beer belly". Drinking beer in moderation will not cause obesity.

Ø Heartburn. Beer contains powerful stimulants of gastric acid secretion and may provoke gastroesophageal reflux and cause heartburn.

Ø "Alcohol consumption can increase the relaxation of the LES – the natural valve that keeps stomach acid in the stomach and out of the esophagus – allowing acid to reflux"

Ø Blood pressure. Daily beer consumption (approximately 40 g of alcohol) may increase blood pressure.

Ø Intoxication / Impairment. Even low amounts of alcohol can adversely effects attention and motor skills. In fact, many serious accidents are alcohol related. This obviously includes motor vehicles but can also include falling of your chair, down the stairs, out windows, etc.

Ø This can also include "Beer Muscles" which can make the drinker believe they can physically take on any person in the room. Often times, the drinker is sadly mistaken and winds up sprawled on the floor with severe injuries.

Ø Dehydration. Only 10% of what you drink is removed through urine and your liver needs water to get rid of the remaining 90%. To do so, the liver is forced to divert water from other organs including the brain, which causes the throbbing headaches. Drinking a glass of water in between beers will help.

Ø Hangover. Most of us know the pounding head, cotton mouth feeling attributed to a night of heavy drinking. For those that don't, here is a very good and thorough explanation. For those that don't heed this warning, here this is how you can get rid of your hangover

As you will notice, most of these only apply to heavy beer guzzlers. A heavy drinker is considered to be someone that has 2 or more drinks per day.

so, im a heavy drinker huh?!

my horoscope for 2008

PISCES

OVERVIEW: Pisces thrives through creative transportation and unique social experiences. There will be changes in the way you develop your inner-self, this year. Your ability to multitask will continue, as you become involved in more humanitarian projects. You have tremendous vitality and courage, and a healthy sense of who you are. You usually put your best foot forward, and are possessed by an innate charm and magnetism. You love being physically active, usually with others. You learn to take more responsibility by being diplomatic and tactful.

Your capacity for childlike wonder is a wonderful creative outlet. Sometimes, you may feel an unconscious pull toward an objective or goal that you do not fully understand. You also may be tempted to participate in many activities just to be involved for the social aspects of being around fun-loving people. Your task is to attempt to make conscious choices in these areas, and to become more aware of your true objectives based on your own values and goals, independent from the approval of others. Find happiness by connecting with your higher self, and by helping people to move closer together.

CAREER: You are very attracted by variety in your career and enjoy having a profession in the arts. You have a natural grace and compassion working with people, and they appreciate and respect your help and wisdom. Your creative imagination needs to be indulged when you take the time to meditate and recharge your emotional energy. You love expanding your consciousness and passionately desire to bring your higher ideals and visionary philosophy to mainstream.

Travel and the exploration of your utopian ideals help to bring your vision and work to the world. You have a great passion for using your dreams to reflect truths about reality and a natural ability to teach and share with others. This year will be about learning the best ways to direct this energy to help others. Your insight is grounded in reality and you create harmony in your work, mainly because of having the same purpose and visions as those you collaborate with.

For this reason, it is important that the people you surround yourself with share a collective vision and goal. By the end of the year, you may go through many internal changes in the course of pursuing your vision. You are a real powerhouse, and enjoy being your own boss.

LOVE: Having love, spiritually and security in your relationship is one of your most intimate goals. You are very sensitive to what others say and do. Your emotions and intuition help you translate your sensitivity into compassion through your mystical approach of uniting with another on a higher level. Draw from your intuitive abilities to make good and decisions in all areas of your life. You feel as if you have a high spiritual calling when it comes to marriage, and relationships in general.

Your sweet intensity, charm and attractiveness lure others to you. This is especially promising around the summer, when you become very interested in the possibility of settling down and having children. Emotional security is a big thing for you and throughout the year you experience many life lessons through your relationships. Your strong capacity for joy and giving deepens your relationships and creates loving harmony and balance.

Your urge to be devoted to your partner is strong, yet sometimes it's hard to learn to become more emotionally detached so you can rely on your inner strength during stormy times. It is important for you to have someone that appreciates your mystical wisdom and attitudes; otherwise, you become restless and overly sensitive. You are a naturally intuitive person and see things from a perspective that others may not. The challenges you may experience in your love partnership will mainly be around learning to integrate and balance your own growth and create more harmony in your relationship. You will deepen your connection as the year unfolds, and learn to take responsibility for your own feelings.

to tattoo or not to tattoo?

a sun and moon?

or a butterfly?

perhaps the main question is whether to have one or not…

here are some facts about tattoos.

Tattoos serve spiritual uses. It becomes a symbol of status, rank, religion, devotion, punishment, and other aspects of a particular culture. Nowadays, people get tattoos to decorate their bodies.

Tattoos are also used for cosmetic purposes. One of the most famous is the permanent makeup though tattooing. This is a procedure to enhance eyebrows, lips, eyes and even moles. In addition to this, more and more celebrities appear to have tattoos, i.e., Angelina Jolie, therefore making tattoos seem cool.

There has been an increase in the popularity of tattoos. Presently, tattooing has a growing number of artists with astounding body art skills and talents. But seeing what happened to the Grammy’s, body tattoos might actually ruin any chance at looking fabulously formal.

On the other hand, there is a negative side with having a tattoo. This is due to the fact that criminals and prisoners are known aficionados of the body art. Tattoos among women are also seen as slutty and cheap.

Perhaps the most valid reason why people in general still hesitate having tattoos is the fact that although it’s not impossible, tattoos are more or less permanent. The procedure is done with laser but it’s said that the pain of having a tattoo removed is, well…let’s just say that getting the tattoo was more bearable.

Another disadvantage of having a tattoo is its apparent disadvantage in job applications. Usually, employers and reputable businesses hesitate hiring a tattooed person.

Now, do you think I should get one? i'm serious...i'm really considering having a tattoo...

they are back...

yes, they are back - the Pagudpud people...and so? hehe...ahhmm, just wanted to let you know that they are back and they have to take their bath here at the office...haha...i know, there are lots of stories to tell and brag about their adventure but we have to work first...

Panagbenga 2008

Finally, I was able to take a break from work...a 3-day vacation at the Summer Capital Of the Philippines or the City Of Pines - Baguio City...been to different tourist spots (pictures below)...too bad though that I wasn't able to go to the Philippine Military Academy because my schedule didn't allow me to...my visit is also the time they celebrate Panagbenga so a lot of people can be found at the main thoroughfare of Baguio City (Session Road)...too crowded that I was only able to buy shawarma (my favorite) and left the place after...

missing Legazpi...

Well, I love the place where I am at present because I am with my siblings…we live under the same roof and obviously, we see each other every day…but I just can’t forget my days in Legazpi…

Legazpi has been my haven for eight years so it’s not that fast and easy to forget Legazpi especially if I’m at the office (Manila)…God! I miss the MBS Tek Legazpi Office where I can comfortably wear bermuda shorts matched with a baby tee and my havaianas as my footwear at any day I want to wear a comfortable outfit…unlike here in MBS Tek Manila Office that you have to be always in proper or prescribed attire I should say because people here are very particular with the dress code and we (Legazpi people) do not have a choice but to follow the rules…

BUT hmmm…I saw this girl from Marketing Manila wearing havaianas at the office...hmmm…aren’t you aware that wearing flip flops is not allowed? Yes, even if it’s branded dear, it’s not allowed…and common sense…wearing sleeveless blouses and slippers is kinda off seeing that your superiors are always at their proper office attire… and that is actually the reason why I bought a new set of clothes, jackets especially because it’s cold in the office…I also bought a new pair of shoes (planning to buy another one on the 30th) and additional two bags to match my every day outfit…take a look at the pictures below…those are from ukay-ukay…haha! got four jackets and three blouses for 2000php…not bad, right?

Back to the topic…I miss the MBS Tek Legazpi pantry where my colleagues and I shared breakfast, lunch, and afternoon merienda…I miss the jokes of bhem, dex, lyn, and olops while at the pantry…I miss my seatmates ate cla and jirl…I miss my roommate mina even if she’s not always around…I miss the massage of mech…I miss yona and francis’ contagious laughter…I miss eating shawarma with sally…I miss jam and kr calling me “ate mydz”…I even miss tin and rhyz’ defeaning silence…And of course, I miss giving keywords to my team members – ryan, mayan, lala, and charm…haha! what I don’t miss is proofreading and editing articles…waahhh!

friends forever...

This is supposed to be a rest day since it's a Sunday...I should stay at home and sleep all day because I wake up at 5AM from Tuesday-Saturday so I won’t be late for work…by the way, my working schedule is 7AM to 4PM…and actually, travel time (from home to the office) is only 30mins…the first 45mins (5:00-5:45) is for me to have breakfast, take a bath, and get dressed…30mins travel time which only means that I arrived at the office 45mins before 7AM…whew! So this should really be a rest day, isn’t it?

But because I haven’t seen Cecille - my friend ever since elementary, for a long time, I’ve decided to meet her at Trinoma…we talk through yahoo. messenger from time to time even if we don’t see each other everyday…I miss being with her…I miss the other members of our group (Katherine – my best friend , Mary Joy – Cecille’s best friend, Laila – Andrea’s best friend, and Claire – Lovelle’s best friend)…I hope that one of these days guys, we can be together…

____________we're still very good friends after 20years___________

335php just for a tumbler?

Had a very tiring day but no one can stop us (me, nikki, and franz) to go window shopping…actually, me and nikki really wanted to feed ourselves a bottle of vodka cruiser or two…so we went to Glorietta...munched dinner at Kenny Rogers Roasters and started to walk around after…

now, guess what I’ve got after 30mins of walking around…a 335php tumbler from Starbucks Coffee! I don't really have plans of spending and wasting money for things that are not that important...it's just that I can't control my impulsivess...HELP!!! send me to a rehab...

and how about the original plan which is to have a bottle or two of vodka cruiser? oh well, we have all the time to do that nikz, right?

ciao!

Happy New Year!

I thought I would be welcoming 2008 together with my family…you see, we’re all together during Christmas…but busy as my parents are, they have to be back in Masbate a day after Christmas to attend to some important matters…good thing that my cousin from Austria, Irene with her hubby (Laurence) and her daughter (Ashley Laurene) are here in Manila so I went to Paco to be with them to welcome 2008... it’s been four years since the last time I saw my cousin and so it was also some kind of a reunion…

Here are some pix taken before the year ends…
