Resurrected...

noreply@blogger.com (Inaj) — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 00:25:00 +0000

I guess I'm back again. I've been away for months and thought that I would delete this blog for good but hey, here I am. So many life changing events happened in my life these past few months that made me discouraged to blog. I just turned 29 last December and it made me realize that this year I will hit the big 30. It's not bad at all. I'm not worried about it. Instead I try to look back of all those years that passed and try to assess what I have done and accomplished in my life that I can be proud of. I have gone a long way. I am, to some people, already successful. To some degree, yes I am. But like all human beings, there are still goals and dreams I want to achieve. Life is full of challenges and everyday, our endurance and toughness are being tested. Can I make it next year? Can I fulfill what I have planned to do this year? Or will there be another twist of events that will hamper me to go forward? Whatever happens, I am still alive and somewhat happy with my life. Like most people, I am trying to live the dream. Thank God always.

Have gift ideas?

noreply@blogger.com (Inaj) — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 23:38:00 +0000

Well, well... It's Valentines Day tomorrow. Don't you feel excited? There is usually a dilemna though created by this day to couples. What I mean is how to find that perfect gift to make your loved one happy. Don't have a clue yet? Don't fret. There are so many ideas on gifts you can find online. But I will give you two gift ideas that I think is going to be a hit. One of them is the iPOD if ever your special someone doesn't have it yet. Who can resist it? It's cool, entertaining and useful. What about his favorite cologne or aftershave ? I'm sure he will love it and you will love it, too. ;-) If he is into sports, why not buy something that is related to his sport. But whatever it is, I'm sure he will appreciate whatever you will give him. Isn't it the thought that counts?

Thanksgiving!

noreply@blogger.com (Inaj) — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 18:02:00 +0000

There's so much to thank about and Thanksgiving again reminded us of that. Family, friends, good life all are things that are the most important and I am grateful for having all of these. I am an immigrant of this country and so I am very thankful that this country and it's people embraced me. Earlier this year I just became a citizen and voted in November for the first time. I was proud to be able to participate in the election of the next President of the US and hopefully can contribute to the betterment of this country.

Junk Mails

noreply@blogger.com (Inaj) — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 03:10:00 +0000

Junk. I got so many junk mails in my mailbox. I haven't received a Victoria Secret mail for a while now. I wonder if the change of address I made went through the net. It didn't probably. I miss those coupons they send out periodically that offers free cotton panties. Funny? Not really. I love their panties. They're cute, durable and very comfortable to wear. Anyway, I got a holiday discount offer from NY and Company. They offering 30% discount for purchases made now through December 1st. Hmm, Thanksgiving is coming too but I don't think I have much to spend. Again, I didn't prepare for the holidays. Some people are really wise. They save money just for the holidays. Oh well...

Tocino

noreply@blogger.com (Inaj) — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 02:32:00 +0000

Tonight I had homemade Tocino for dinner at a friend's house. That was really good! So different than the tocino for sale at a Filipino store. It was really moist, tender and just the right taste. Sweet and Salty. My friend can really cook. Everytime she cooks, it's always very good. Hmmm, I wonder when I will be able to cook like her. I know I don't have time but maybe in the future I can afford to stop working and just concentrate on house skills. lol! Well, for those who aren't familiar with it, click the below link and you will see a picture of peppered tocino from wbelmonte. Very interesting... I haven't tried that.

noreply@blogger.com (Inaj) — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 23:00:00 +0000

Well, just type in the 3 digits area code and the 7 digits phone number and it'll be searched through the database until it finds the exact match and the address of that number. It can look up any kind phone numbers. Whatever the reason is, this is the best way to look up an address of whatever phone number you have.

noreply@blogger.com (Inaj) — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 22:54:00 +0000

Again! :) Well, as you can see, the last post here was the 1st of September and what date are we now? November 11th! For two straight months, I have not posted anything. Wow! Anyway, I wonder how everybody is doing especially my friend here in cyberspace? I don't expect for anyone to keep checking my blog and I am not obliging them to since I have not been able to myself. I hope I will catch up slowly but surely and will stay on even if it's not as strong as I had been before. Reasons for being gone? Well, you know, just the usual happenings in life like work and play.

I hope everyone is doing good. And keep blogging alive!

A little update about me...

noreply@blogger.com (Inaj) — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 00:01:00 +0000

For so many days, I have not updated this blog. I have been busy with work and my social life that I didn't have the energy to blog about anything. Tonight, I took a peek and got the desire back to at least post something here. It's amazing how things go well without even planning anything. People come and go in your life but they leave a permanent especial mark that will foever be etched in one's memory and heart. I just thank God for all of them and pray for everyone's success.

Acne Solution

noreply@blogger.com (Inaj) — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 01:09:00 +0000

Everyday I get reminded again and again of why I am annoyed with acne whenever I see myself in the mirror. Why doesn't acne go away? I have tried many solutions but there is still one or two that pops out everytime and seems to never leave my face alone. I tried a few supposedly best acne solution in the market today and those that friends recommended but they don't work at all. I think it's more than cure but also prevention. I better check Acne.com and read all about acne. There must be something that I haven't known that might make a big difference.

Restricted Call

noreply@blogger.com (Inaj) — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 00:09:00 +0000

Is it only I who received a call that said on the display that it's restricted? There was no phone humber. It only showed the time and that it's Restricted. Hmmm. If ever you received such a call, let me know please. I answered that call and I realy heard somebody putting down the phone after I said "hello". Weird! I wonder who made that call on a Sunday. I might try checking online on my phone account. Let's see.

noreply@blogger.com (Inaj) — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 20:30:00 +0000

Finally, I see sunshine from days of dark clouds and pouring rain. Tropical Storm Fay is gone! What a relief! I thought we are going to flood here. I have been couped up here in the house for two straight days. I want to go out! I missed driving and seeing other people. But I welcomed the change too. I was able to relax and chill in the house. Now I know that there is a limit. My limit would be a day and a half. Anyway, I'm looking forward to a party tomorrow night. I'm sure it's going to be fun!

I should have gotten a personal loan

noreply@blogger.com (Inaj) — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 07:12:00 +0000

Sometimes I wanted to pack my things and just suddenly fly to the Philippines. For more than three years now, I haven't seen my family since I left to come to the US. I miss them terribly. Last month, it was my oldest brother's wedding. Prior to that was my best friend's wedding. I saw the pictures that they sent me but it isn't definitely the same as being there. I really wanted to fly that time and be able to attend but unfortunately I couldn't afford it. Probably, if I applied for a Personal Loan or a Payday Loan, I would have been able to. Oh well, I should prepare next time and hopefully have the means to fly anytime. If not, I might resort to applying for personal loans.

Why I didn't make the Olympics

noreply@blogger.com (Inaj) — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 14:27:00 +0000

I am truly impressed by the discipline and hardwork of athletes. And I am proud and very happy of their victories, whatever nation they belong to. Some athletes united their people and has changed lives by giving inspiration to the youth and families all over the world. I have never been active in sports but knows how to play one or two games. How long have I played? Too long to remember. :) Anyway, watch the video. It's very entertaining...

I am a law abiding citizen and would never do pranks and harrass people but what if I become a victim? Even the annoying telemarketers are just too much to bear sometimes. What about unknown phone calls that you want to trace for some reason? Trace Number.com can help through their Reverse Phone Lookup service. For a minimal fee, you can get a full phone report and remove personal information from public data. That will definitely stop all those telemarketers and prank calls.

Grandfather Clocks

noreply@blogger.com (Inaj) — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 22:44:00 +0000

Have you ever owned a grandfather clock? Or do you want to own one? Ever since childhood, I have been fascinated by grandfather clocks. I never owned one but I remembered so vividly that there was one at our neighbor's house. They bought it from Japan. It was situated at the living room. Whenever I was in their home, I would stare at it for hours and just admire the intricateness of the design and love to listen to the clicking and chiming. There was some kind of mysteriousness, elegance and stability that it exuded which attracted me to it. If I have one, I would place it in the living room too so other people can admire it.

If you want to own one, you can visit www.1-800-4clocks.com and choose at their wide selection of different brands of granfather clocks like the Howard Miller brand. If you want to know more and get some ideas on what these clocks are, there is a blog just for this purpose. I like the article that I have read in that blog which is titled One Grandfather Clock, One Purchase. Buying one is like an investment. There are things to consider to get just the right one for your home.

The Priest's Sermon

noreply@blogger.com (Inaj) — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 22:38:00 +0000

I went to attend Mass today and I was very much moved by the Priest's sermon. He said, " We are scared of the water especially when we don't know how to swim. When somebody is out to help or rescue us, trust and listen." We know that God will always be there for us. He knows whatever fear we have on things we don't know about and on uncertainty. I have felt that and I know that deep in my heart, I am fearful of what the future will hold for me. I should never doubt. God is there to provide and to protect. He has always been there for me. He knows my every thought and feelings. I should trust and listen.

Inside Cardiac Arrest

noreply@blogger.com (Inaj) — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 22:34:00 +0000

It's scary to know that sudden cardiac arrest kills 25,000 people every year or almost 900 per day? And since it occurs without warning for different reasons, we don't know until we have ourselves checked. St Jude Medical is presenting www.insidecardiacarrest.com where we can find information and videos for sudden cardiac arrest awareness. How would you know if you are at risk? Please visit the site and know more.

Go Forth...

noreply@blogger.com (Inaj) — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 02:15:00 +0000

Right now, I feel the need to encourage myself. Sometimes, when I feel this way, I open up a book or any kind of reading material that will give me words of upliftment and joy. And this one I just found.

Go Forth and Prosper

These are the moments...

Be the victor, not the victim.

Smile! It confuses people!

Chocolate solves everything!

Listen to what your heart is saying.

You mean the world to someone, ME!

Some things are only felt with the heart.

A smile is a curve that sets things straight.

Some pursue happiness, others create it.

Imagination is the soul within...

Are you financially fit?

noreply@blogger.com (Inaj) — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 02:13:00 +0000

Have you ever taken a financial quiz? I'm not talking about anything related to school. It's about a quiz geared towards helping you find out or assess what your financial condition is currently. It's the BillsIQ test. For just a few minutes, I answered a few simple questions. I have already blogged about this since I took it before and now I took it again just to remind myself of the things that I need to watch out for for a good financial health.

As I grow older, I become very aware of how hard life can be especially when you are financially unsecure. Right now, I am doing some simple planning for my future. Of course we don't know what will happen in the future but now that there's something I can do, I am doing my best to prepare for it. There are so many things to think about like retirement, major purchases, maintenance, savings, insurances, health conditions, etc and they all involve money. Bills.com has so much information anybody can use for future planning. After the test, it even give you solutions and ways to improve or be in a better shape financially. Take the test and see for yourself.

Xenadrine RFA-X

noreply@blogger.com (Inaj) — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 03:32:00 +0000

You wonder what that is Xenadrine RFA-X? Well, that's a fat burning diet pill. Now, I can't review, compare or talk about that pill since I haven't tried it. I can't even recommend it. But if you are interested about what it is and what it can do, there is a site that did a review about this pill. PricesExposed.net contained a review of that pill and how much it'll cost. Very informative site! Not only does it reviewed this one but hundreds of other diet pills in the world. Now, if you ask me, it's really better to read and learn about diet pills before you take one. I got to say that they don't work for all people and as what the saying goes, different strokes for different folks still holds true. Not to mention the prices! It looks like the prices doesn't measure how effective the product is. It still boils down to what is compatible with one's body chemistry. Good luck!
