Giddy plans

Valentines is near and as this will be my first valentine with a boyfriend, I can’t help but be slightly excited about it. I’m a practical person so I am not expecting much, especially with hard times ahead, I can’t and will not ask for too much from him and I know he thinks the same way too.

Still, I’m feeing a bit giddy about that special day when we will again make plans to be together. With the way our phone conversations go, I can’t help but think he has secret plans on valentines day.

Me: Kamusta yung gitara ko sayo? (How is my guitar at your place?)
Him: Eto, maayos naman. Kaso ang tagal ko na talagang di tumutogtog. Nakalimutan ko na mga chords. (It’s fine, though I can’t play much since its been a long time.)

* hears a bit of strumming over the phone *

Me: Ay wait, naalala ko lang yung favortite guitar piece ko. (Wait, I remember my favorite guitar piece.)
Him: Ano? (Which?)

Me: More Than Words
Him: Aaahh… is it this?

* he strums a few chords *

Him: Sige, pagaaralan ko siya. (Okay, I’ll study this piece.)
Me: Kaya mo yan. Teka, hindi kita pinipilit na tugtugin yan ha. Baka mamaya may balak ka pang mang-harana diyan. (It’s okay. I’m not forcing you to study the piece. You might get ideas to serenade me.)
Him: Ikaw talaga, binibisto mo naman ako e. (You are ruining my plans -teasing voice-)

Hehe… talk about feeling giddy. *blushes*

Bird Lights

Long ago, when I was in the phase of playing SIMS (first version) non-stop, I remembered the variety of household items you could incorporate in your SIMS virtual home. What really made me stay long in decorating the house is to find the appropriate lighting items for my house theme, more so when I find extra lighting items for outdoor purposes. I love the idea of placing outdoor lamps in between bushes to accentuate a romantic ambiance if you plan on placing your SIMS in the backyard to have a night picnic or have a rendevouz by an ourdoor jacuzzi or a pool party.

Lights really do give a nifty touch to any ambiance. I found it amazing when I found a site that distributes rope lights. I didn’t even knew that such term exited. Rope Light are small bulbs that are placed withing PVC tubes. These product is versatile and flexible to create shapes to accentuate buildings or commercial displays. We may not realize it but rope lighting can be found almost everywhere.

I find it nice when the rope lights are not used and are arranged in spool like arrangement. They really look nice and I want to play with them. Haha.

New is overwhelming for most of us, but if you take time out to research and do proper networking, you’ll find the transition will be less stressful.

Find a career you love

Whether your in mid career, a student, new to the work force, or an entrepreneur it gets difficult to gain satisfaction and accomplishing your full potential when your stuck doing something you hate. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, so why not do something that you like doing. Keep in mind that doing what you like is often complicated but if you would like to improve your personal life here are a few steps:

Decide why you want to change careers:
It is important to know whether you are moving away from something or moving towards something. It is difficult to identify your ideal job when you are overwhelmed by negative issues from your current situation. If you are making a career change, keep all of your options open to make a fresh start.

What are your goals?

Write down a normal aspect of a normal day. Outline what it is exactly that you want. Such as what is your work schedule, the positions and tasks, what is your ideal salary to live comfortably, and are you an entrepreneur at heart. Continuously write these goals in a notebook or journal.

Identify your interests

Your interests do not mean this should be your new job or business, it is just the beginning of self exploration. The key is to identify what truly interests you and how you can incorporate those interests into the work field. What are your favorite hobbies? What books do you like to read? What sections of the newspaper to you turn to first? What are your favorite television shows? After keeping track of this for a week, you should discover a trend that should narrow down to two or three topics of interests.

What are your abilities?

Write down a list of abilities that come easily to you. By doing something that your good at will not only greater your chance of succeeding, but give a sense of satisfaction to your work. You will find that you have hidden abilities. Once you pull up those hidden abilities use them, see how you like them and put them to good use.

Many people walk through life failing to realize who they are and what they are capable of doing to its entirety. Do not be afraid to learn who you are. It will take some time. It took me over thirty years, but it was well worth the trial and errors made along the way to learn who I am.

Failing to remember:
Many people have difficulty remembering. This is a common problem. Don’t let it get you down. Take action to improve your memory. Walk along the jungle lane of memory and explore what is in your mind.

How to Improve Your Personal Life with Exercise and More

Life can be difficult and full of worries, and when you’re not taking good care of yourself, things can become quite demanding. Without a proper diet and exercise, along with proper sleep, you could find yourself run down extremely fast. This caused unwanted stress and anxieties in our everyday living.

Get exercise with a proper diet

Getting the right exercise for your body does not consist of trying out for a marathon. Nevertheless, if you want to stay in shape and maybe lose a few pounds, here’s the perfect way to start.

Walk for 30 minutes twice a day with a backpack containing up to five books.
Instead of having an extra alcoholic beverage, eliminate it, replacing it with water.
Substitute daily one serving of starchy carbohydrate with two servings of green vegetables. Rather than skipping breakfast and lunch and overeating on snacks, try snacking consisting of five small meals daily. Make sure you incorporate that with fruits and vegetables.

The key is to watch what you eat and drink. You are guaranteed to feeling better; giving yourself more energy that will allow you to tackle other tasks. Stress will be coped with much easier. Another way for stress is massage therapy.

The Benefits of Massage Therapy

Massage therapy offers many benefits. It helps to start your day relaxed, which is essential for balance. A simple practice would be starting at your head and scalp. What people fail to realize is that until they have massage they do no know how much stress they are carrying. Once you have an awareness of where stress is lodged in your body, you’ll know exactly which pressure points to work. This is what massage therapy can do for you:

Relief of muscle tension and stiffness
Greater joint flexibility and range in motion
Healthier and nourished skin
Improved posture
Faster healing from pulled muscles

Getting enough sleep

It is a proven fact that when you do not get enough sleep, this can make you ill. There are even studies that says healing is done while we are sleeping, meaning deep sleep produces the bodies highest form of hormones. A constant sleep pattern is necessary for the immune system to function at its peak. Have a regularly scheduled bedtime. Avoid exercising within three hours before bedtime. If you have problems winding down, do something relaxing like watching television, taking a bath, or listening to soft music.

It doesn’t take money to improve our lives or even watching or favorite talk shows. All it takes is a little discipline and action, and we’ll be well on our way to better our personal well-being as we age.

Proper rest, exercise and training your mind to think positive are a great way to improve your life. The best thing you can do is getting started now. Prolonging good health only sends you back to the same patterns. If you want to improve your personal life, you must take action and maintain that action for the course of your life.

Something to keep in mind is that exercise alone has proven to relieve people suffering with asthma, diabetes, heart disease, etc. In fact, studies have shown that people who exercise live a longer, improved and happier life. In fact, exercise has proven to relieve and even heal symptoms emerging from arthritis. If you have back pain, you will benefit from exercise since it will relieve your pain as well.
