Irvingia gabonensis - new to my ears

I do not know how it is pronounced.  Is it ir*vin*ja or ir*vin*ya?  I don't know but it's good news for the obese and for people with slow metabolism.  A research study was made about the effect of irvingia gabonensis seeds which can be found here. 

Teen Addiction

One of the scariest things that haunted my mind when my children were still young and in their primary years was the possibility that they can one day get into drugs.  Just like any other parent, I was very afraid of the odds that one of my children will undergo teen rehab.  Though I

Cigarettes are Papa's best friends

I cannot help but think of my father after the preceding post.  And his killers.

Cigarettes were Papa's best friends from his youth until he died.  And his killers, too.  No, not the cigars.   They're the cigarettes.  Those finely cut tobacco in rolls, smaller than cigars and wrapped in thin paper and not with tobacco leaves.  They are called Champion.  Actually, they are many.  There's the Marlboro.  There's the Philip Morris.  There's the Winston. And a lot more.  They are all killers.

Remembering an old joke and the banana

It was my father who told me this short story about monkeys when I was still young (I was about 9 to 10 years old).  He started with a question why monkeys do not have pimples.  Of course, I asked why.  It's because they always eat bananas he replied.  "Really?" I responded with awe and innocence at the same time.  Then he laughed.

A cat's weight loss regimen?

The Standing Cat @ Yahoo! Video

This handsome cat definitely is not in need of weight loss supplements to maintain such a nice body and posture and have that admirable strength to stand on his hind legs.

It's freakin' hot!

The aircon in my office broke down three weeks ago. The compressor was bought just recently and still has to be tested for a day! I feel like I am in an incinerator. Can you imagine how it feels? It's freakin' hot I cannot think straight and work right! All I can think is about the getaway we had last Friday - dipping into the pool.

This hot weather can pass as best in a fat burner review.

To dispose, or not to dispose

I have an old Epson printer that I want to dispose. I am sure it is already in a clogged state because I had not used the equipment for quite some time.  It is a c45, very far from the tm-t88iv type. Seeing this new thermal printer designed for high-volume retail, I thought of my erstwhile desire to have a printing store business which had become impossible to materialize for many reasons that I could not enumerate.

Happy Anniversary to Us!

It fell on a Good Friday.  Well, everyone is up for the Visita Iglesia while we really didn't plan on anything because it fell on a Good Friday.  Our 21st wedding anniversary, I mean.

Funny, I was only thinking about eating out.  I was even thinking about the laundry when I woke up.  I saw the dirty door mats and even thought of cleaning them all before the four-day vacation ended.  But it was already late.  I woke up past seven o'clock in the morning.  I was torn between many things to do and many things to think about.  I was torn between going out and staying at home.

Not her heart but her legs that ache!

I saw an office mate in the mall one time.  I asked her where she went because she went undertime from work.  She said she visited her doctor.  She has heart ailment.  The doctor did some tests on her including running on a treadmill longer than she had expected.  I cannot remember how long.  To make the story short, while doing her running activity, her doctor asked her if she is in pain or if her heart is aching.  She replied, "Doc, it's not my heart that's aching but my legs!"  We both laughed.  Still the doctor advised her to prepare for a possible operation that would cost her more than 50 gran. Wow.  A lot of money.
