We have this cooperative at the office. One of its benefits is an allowance of 500Php/day when you are hospitalized. I only knew of this matter recently and I regretted that I wasn’t able to claim my supposedly 2000Php allowance when I was admitted for four days in the hospital last time. It’s not much but it still money. Anyway, I wouldn’t want to be hospitalized again just to get a hospital allowance. If you’re crazy enough, I think you can gain from this, if you know what I mean. Lol! I think we also have an insurance in the coop but I’m not that aware and I wasn’t that interested then when it was introduced. There are many things to learn about insurance so you might be interested to check out insurancespecialists to learn more ideas and tips. The insurance coverage of my younger sister has been helping my nephew and sister a lot. Sad to say, with my company’s insurance, I can’t offer the same help.

It’s school break for the past two months. I would expect that there’s less traffic in most areas. Turned out i’m wrong. Some roads in the city are undergoing some repairs. An example of which is a construction work in the reclamation area. It is near the port and near the mall. Lots of vehicles both public and private would be passing around this area. Having to pass this area everyday is a nightmare. Traffic is worst for the most part of the day. Add to that, some drivers, still don’t read signs ahead. Yesterday was not an exception. A car bugged down . It took a while before the car was towed.

A friend told me it’s kinda embarrassing to be the one causing the traffic. She got stuck in a middle of a highway. It was a good thing that good sam towing came to rescue. I’m not a driver. I don’t have a car. But all these road problems are uninviting enough for me not to want to drive. It’s just scary! I was once in California (while i was assigned in Michigan office) and i realized i don’t think i would really like to drive. Heheh!

It is imperative that men’s needs are different from the women’s. From a feminist view, all of our needs are probably equal. Interesting enough. See, i’ve read something about noxycut review and it is said to be yielding better results with men. Read more about it before you trash talk me. There are comparisons to consider. And speaking of comparisons, i’ve noticed that men at the office are more vain than women lately. How could that be? Lol! They’re even more health conscious than we do. I saw two of them drinking milk every night. We have a weird shifting schedule at work so it’s no surprise i get to see them drinking milk huh. It’s a healthy thing. Just not that common i guess. But hurray to them! Wish i could follow them. I’m not so much of a milk drinker. But if it’s chocolate flavoured, i won’t say no.

Now what i have been talking about? I just would like to say that there are things in life that will work best in men and some other things in life that will work best with women. Period.

Of course it’s easier to choose between two things of whatever sort. I would have to negate this statement of mine though when it comes to choosing a particular bag or dress or shoes. As what i have always said, i always buy 2 or 3 same things of different colors. Lol! I have much evidence on this one.

Let’s talk about beauty care. Go around the market today and a lot of different brands offer the same results. Now that would be very confusing to tell which product would give excellent results. What about something you eat or drink? Health wise, that calls for a major checking. For people like me who would want to try out diet pills, better read some diet pill comparisons first. True enough, it pays to check the labels and reading reviews wouldn’t hurt as well. And take note, one may work for your friend, it doesn’t follow that it will work for you. I guess being cautious is the key.

I went to the clinic at the office sometime last week to have my blood pressure checked. I stepped on the weighing scale anyway because it was situated near the nurse’s table. Definitely a wrong move. Now i’m stressed thinking how much weight i have put on! In denial, i shrugged off the number the scale gave me. I said it’s not calibrated. The reading is all wrong.

A little earlier, i was browsing through some of my recent photos. Haven’t had the chance to upload them so i just browsed randomly. Now i can’t deny. I’m really getting bigger and bigger! Waahh! I’ve been running for almost 3 months now. I don’t see any effects! Or maybe i’m not running enough? Or i’m still eating too much thinking that it would be compensated since i run once in a while? Huh! Whatever the case is, i think i need adipex diet pills to go with my exercise. Supplements! Don’t you think i need some?

I got this cute pink/white board short from before. Previously, i would have to hold the waistline every time because it’s too loose. Now?? I can’t fit to it anymore! That bad.

Just how many of us love lounging in the tubs? I don’t have it at home but when i get a chance i do love lazing in tubs. When i was in Michigan sometime ago, my apartment have it and i spend most of my weekend time in the tub.

But who says that our physically challenged friends could not enjoy as much as we do. These walk in tubs would be perfect for them. Now they can enjoy bath time more than ever.

Speaking of bath, i haven’t taken a bath since i woke up. Heheh! Don’t yah worry, i’ll do it in a sweep. And don’t blame me because our water supply has been crazy for the past months already. We normally don’t have water in the morning. So you can imagine most of my neighbours waking up in the wee hours of the night just to wash clothes, bath, etc. Talk about El Nino effect. Tsk.

Oi! I miss going to Colon lately. Never been to the area for the past weeks. I wonder if there are new items to watch out for especially summer dresses. Summer is almost over but i’m not over fantasizing about sundresses.

For all of you shopaholics out there, Black Friday doesn’t always come during Holyweek. Check it out online and you can always get the best deals ever. We don’t have this in the country but for sure my friends in Michigan find this awesome.

During the festivities in SRP last weekend – there were bazaars but i didn’t get a chance to see them. The area was jampacked by both the run fanatics and rally participants. But that’s ok, that saved me money and afforded me not to buy again things i don’t need!

One of my friends said that, by next year, single or married, we’ll all have babies. Lol! So easy to say, but it would actually be harder raising a kid alone. But hmnn, let me give it a thought. Hahah!

Two of my friends from work will soon pop anytime starting next week. The other one will have a boy while the other one is still tbd – to be determined. The baby kept on crossing his/her feet so it won’t reveal anything in the ultrasound. That should be a surprise to the expectant parents. As most of my friends are pregnant and having babies already – they all have one thing in common to say, that is to never forget to take prenatal vitamins religiously. Oh, a former colleague of mine will soon deliver anytime this week too. That makes a total of 3 persons that i know of that will soon pop. It’s definitely a baby boom for most of my peers. Me? That remains to be a tbd.
