Do you believe in horoscopes?

In my Facebook account, my Daily Horoscope says:

Taurus

There are financial opportunities in your chart. You may be learning from a new investment seminar, or studying about different savings plans. You will be thinking about your future, about retirement, home equity, educational savings plans and other forms of deferred gratification.

Not that I believe in horoscopes. It is just fun to read them.  If they are true, then what it said for today is an indication of hope.  And one deferred gratification I have in mind is a health insurance like NC health insurance.  The one that I have, which half I have to pay, will only be to a certain extent because it is just a small premium I am paying for myself.  Well, it is what I can afford for now.  Perhaps staying another decade in the organization will recompense me with a free health insurance.  :-)  Scary idea.

Photohunt: Fresh

How lovely to look at how fresh faces can be with the happy smiles!

In the photo is daughter Kay and grandson to nephew Raffy, Drew.  He loves to smile in front of the camera.  :-D

Word of Mouth Equals Foolish Talk

While I was at the washing area spin drying clothes the other night, a group of men was outside drinking liquor.  This is a sight almost every night; the men drinking and talking noisily about anything.

But this night was different.  I do not have the intention of listening to idle talks especially coming from drunken men who are not even my friends.  Suddenly, one of them mentioned something about his wife always inspecting his cell phone.  It is a bad habit, I agree, especially if it becomes a regular habit.  We all deserve our privacy.  But what was the husband doing?  Why is he telling his comrades about his wife’s habit in a drunken state?

Muscles for Daryl

My youngest, son Daryl, is already 17 years old.  He is a big young man that has no muscles.  Well, maybe there is but only a little.  I see mostly flabs; lean meat is scarcely found.   Not that he is REALLY BIG but he is BIG!  :-D

I don't want to get preggy anymore!

Yep.  I am more than forty years old and I don't think I am still fit enough carrying a child in my womb.  So I don't want to get preggy anymore!

This is my take on Photohunt's theme yesterday.  I know, I am late again.

HGH pills for the Supreme Court justices

It seems that the SC justices are in need of hgh pills because we know that human growth hormones or HGH drop quite rapidly when one grows old.  They say that some memory related disorders are associated with the lack of it.  Could this be the reason why the Supreme Court deliberately forgot what is in the 1987 Constitution that an outgoing president is barred from making appointments two months before an election and until the end of his or her term or simply, that she cannot appoint from March 10 to June 30?

Arnel Pineda's Awkward Singing?

While I maintain my adherence to the cliché "ignorance of the law excuses no one", I wonder how Arnel Pineda got to belt out in that Pacquiao Texas fight an awkward singing without a heads up.

Who failed this time?

Time and again, the renditions were failures.  In many instances, artists did not pass the proper way of singing the national anthem.  In my last year's post in Digital Journal, Martin Nievera's Controversial Singing, I

Aling Baby's grandchild died: a case of SIDS

You might be wondering who Aling Baby is.  She is that little woman in her midlife who irons our clothes every Sunday.  And yes, her grandchild died last week.  The little angel was not even a month old.

I felt sad for her and for her daughter.  Life's challenges can be very cruel at times.

Aling Baby said her daughter failed to burp the baby and milk intake from breastfeeding flooded the lungs.  It was my first time to hear this and so I searched for the causes of baby deaths.

Employment Screening Jitters

[caption id="attachment_1422" align="alignleft" width="150" caption="click to enlarge"][/caption]

Do you recall your first experiences applying for a job, trying to get hired?  I remember my first job applications.  I must admit I was really, really nervous even if I don't have anything to be afraid about.

If You Are Jinkee Pacquiao

Stumbled upon an interview with Jinkee Pacquiao by Thea Alberto.  In her interview, Jinkee on Krista:  Giving Up Because of Her is Not Worth It, Jinkee has this to say (translated in English):

There is just so much intrigue, and there are times where you feel like giving up. But we can't allow it, and we shouldn't allow it. Giving up because of women like her is not worth it.

I believe that every wife for that matter would not give up on her husband easily, much more on someone like Manny Pacquiao. Admit or not, the champion is a prized catch. To split up marriage with him, or simply annul it, will cost any wife regret.  Admit or not.

Technical Careers

There are actually many types of technical careers one could choose from:  engineers, researchers, analyst, designers, or IT crews and professionals.   I bumped into a nice site called Best Job Philippines and it provides anyone a technical career he/she desires.  Let's say for example you are into an IT job search, all you have to do at Best Jobs Philippines is add and update your resume then set-up and modify a job alert.

An insurance quote would be timely

Yes,  I say it is indeed timely to consider an insurance quote especially a life insurance quote.  Why?

Philippine news can kill you.  Let's have a glimpse on some of the headlines in PhilNews.com:

1. GMA to declare power crisis in Mindanao


2. Crisis declared; Aboitiz, Alcantara power deals up


3. Gordon says definitely not Angara but refuses to name emissary


4. Palace has list of pols in drugs, says Sotto


5. Edu denies he's backing out of VP race

Blankets we need

Not at this point in time where it is super humid you wanted to be under the shower all the time or drink lots of ice-cold water all through the day.

I was thinking before how an electric blanket can be super efficient in snowy places like the US of A.  (Of course, the European countries are included in the list of wintry places.  :-D)  I wonder if it could be as efficient as a human blanket that cannot only supply you with the needed heat but also keep your blood flowing because feeling the heat can lead to another.  :-D  Another what?  Well, you know what I mean.

This crazy hot weather is making me counterproductive.  :-(

Bombarded

If it rains, it pours, and so the saying goes.  And when they are not blessings, Juan will really be in panic.  I wonder how weight loss supplement reviews will treat my assessment that for Juan to loose weight easily and effectively, Juan does not have to swallow weight loss supplement tablets or caplets, or capsules to shed those unwanted flabs.

Mental stress caused by worries and predicaments is one way to trim down.  It has its downside though.  Juan can end as lunatic, or bipolar, or antisocial.

It can help to temporize.  It gives Juan time to think on what is the best thing to do. It makes Juan contemplate that there are times Juan cannot control a situation.  It makes Juan ponder on the wrong moves, and learn from them.  Yes, learn from errors of judgments, false moves, miscalculations, overestimation,  and underestimation.
