I’ve been spending most of my time reading information from www.acnetreatmentsreview.net regarding my hormonal acne. I tried various acne products that normally helps me on the first week or month.. but my problem will still occur the following month. Since the cause of my breakouts is really from inside my body.. the solution should also come from inside. And I read a book that advises different supplements to take for taming my over reactive hormones. I will definitely try it. I just need to do more readings before purchasing it.

I hope this young boy will not have a problem like me in the future ;)

Why people that aiming to lose weight normally falls to quick weight loss diet? I have nothing against with the quick solution.. but sometimes this thing will only work on the first time but still the lifestyle and lessons that you need to learn are still not deeply rooted to your mind and heart. Thus, after the quick weight loss.. the weight will come back plus more pounds.

All I think now is.. eat healthy and keep moving! ;)

I haven’t updated the slideshows on my blogs for years. Too many things happened in our family – new addition, growing up of the baby, big girl going to school, trips, events we attended, and more, things that I want to share to my friends visiting my blog.

I have not done any scrap pages dedicated to track their development but I have organized photos ready to share. Therefore, I will try to update the slideshows with the most recent photos. :D

I just renewed my mom’s and my own life insurance but I need to request another life insurance quote for husband. And I always have no time to do things, this is one of many things I want to accomplish this week. It sounds that I will be spending a long time in front of the computer on the weekend. Yaaay! I hope I can get all things done quickly and no interruption. We will attend a retirement party in Saturday afternoon and will join in the field service in the morning, so the only weekend I have free is Sunday afternoon, after the meeting in the morning. Family life.. busy all the time.

I’m not into hip hop clothing but my brother is.. so I’m checking some stuff for him. I need to start shopping like 2-3 weeks before I schedule pick up of the Balikbayan box. The lead time of receiving the goods plays a major role if we need to buy or add more groceries to the box. As much as possible we want the box to be full and we consider empty spaces as wasting money. So there you go.. need to shop things for him.

Another thing,  I found out that LBC Air Cargo for 6lbs is so cheap. They have 7×7 box that you fill up up to 6lbs and send by air for $25. That is cheap compared to postal and other commercial shipping company. SO something to think about if you want to surprise one ;)

I definitely need to sign up to this online site to sell books! I accumulated too much CPA review books that I need to get rid. I spent thousands of money for these books but every year it change. I don’t need to house them in my bookcase anymore.. I have other books in the storage bin that has no space on the bookcase currently. They will be happy to have spot on the shelves too! ;)

I will be gathering these books soon!

I saw this personalized lip balm online and I realized that this is a good giveaway to my younger friends and Lianne’s Ate. I think this is also good giveaways if your company is related into fashion or your location gets a weather that is too dry thus needing a lip balm for you clients. ;) I need to check the layout design so I can start designing one for my daughter’s giveaway.

Buying insurance always start from asking quote from agent or online. Most of our insurance needs came from online quote. But remember that premiums for life insurance quotes are just quotes, they are not final until you sign a contract or have the details of coverage. Sometimes the quote given can change but it does not happened a lot.

Once you get a quote, review the details right away and lock in your price.. that can protect from changing.

A friend helped me submit my website to different web directories when I’m just starting out. It is helpful because you get the internet crawl or people can find your site on their search engine quickly. Those were the days when I’m just starting to explore the world wide web.

Now is my turn to help friends that are interested to explore the web having their own domain. I’m not an expert on this field but I know some basics ;)

Every morning I wake up, these are the things I do online:

-Check Email
-Facebook, while opening email
-Log to YM to check for offline message
-Farmville, harvest crops
-Café World, remove and cook another dish
-Go back to email again and reply to anything I need.

Seems like not a lot of things online but this can take me hours.. Specially harvesting and cooking another dish. lol Checking about my task thru blog and research work, like enzyte feedback, forum update, and hosting stuff will be taken care when I go back from work. I cannot access personal email at work and that’s good thing. Otherwise, I will not be productive if I have to do personal stuff at work. lol

How about you, what do you do online?

It’s that part of the year again where we need to renew our life insurance. Life insurance is something that parents should consider part of their budget. Do not say that you cannot afford it; you can buy a cheap coverage with less guaranteed premium years very cheap. So why not start with free life insurance quote now and include this tonight to talk about with your partner. I know that you don’t need it now, but who knows what can happen tomorrow, the next day or in the future.. just think about your loved ones that will suffer, to whom they will run for support? Think about it!

I’m really not decided if I will look for another life insurance quote for my mom. Her insurance is due last 17th of the month and I have not sent in my payment. They actually have a month grace period so I still have 17th of this month to send a check. The hassle of medical exam and completing the application form are things that I do not want to go through again. Plus, my mom has medical ailments that requires regular medication so there’s too many things I need to provide to have them approve her application. Hopefully next week I can write the check.. I just need to fund my bank account first. lol

I had two car accidents in the last four months. No collisions are my fault. I did not hire a lawyer on my first accident because I thought the damage was not that bad. However, I experienced worst back, neck, and shoulder pain. So I went to a chiropractor and paid my treatment out of my pocket. I thought the 3rd party insurance will reimburse me for my medical cost.. but it end up they don’t want to. So I consult my current lawyer if they are willing to handle my case. I’m so thankful that they did. The property damage on my first accident is less than $1000 and the first lawyer that I consulted did not accept my case because of that. The second lawyer accepted my case just for courtesy and I feel that they really care about me. They said that they will help me at least get all my medical cost reimbursed.

Anyway, while I was looking for an attorney online before I found my current lawyer, I stumbled San Jose motorcycle accident attorney as interesting one too. However, because my current lawyer has local office close to my city I end up signing for them. I realized that when you are involved to any auto accident you really have to consult a lawyer and do not try to do it by your own. It’s more mess believe me.

More than two years ago, I spent a lot of time submitting to search engines and any web directory available for my website. I have this goal to get pagerank (PR) from Google. And yes, they gave me, I was so happy back then. But they took it away after they found out bloggers engaging to sponsored blogging. I realized that having a PR is not really the good way to measure popularity of the website. Because they can manipulate it by taking it away. So now, I don’t really care if my website has PR. It’s good if I have it.. but not crazy about it anymore. But if you have new website, SEO company are still helpful to submit your website and drive visitors. How about you, do you also have story similar to mine?

I asked my husband what is the difference between the industrial computer and the personal computer. He told me but I wasn’t able to understand it clearly. So I googled it but I still didn’t get the clear about these two. But based on the types of industrial computer available for sale, I think it refers mostly on computers that are cater for the needs of a specific industry. They are more powerful than the personal computer and more option to upgrade. Hope I got it right.

Anyways, if you are looking for industrial computer but wants to stay on the budget, try coresystemsusa.com. I noticed their package is cheaper than other website.

The Indian government is offering poor parents the equivalent of nearly $3,000 to raise daughters, says a BBC News report. Almost enough for an online college degree. Families will receive a cash award upon the birth of the daughter and at various stages of her life up to the age of 18. Although gender selection and selective abortion were outlawed in 1994, they remain widespread. In fact, it is estimated that over the past 20 years, abortion claims the lives of approximately 10 million female fetuses, seriously affecting the gender  balance in some areas. And that’s the reason why parents are offered $3,000 reward. It’s a good incentive if your pro-family :D

I’m not following any market recently. I’m really stacked catching up work at the office. A friend email me about mesothelioma case that devastated our previous officemate who moved in east coast. I was saddened by the news, so I right away research about this online. It’s nice to know that there’s an organization that provides help people to give accurate information about this illness. I’m wondering if they found any help already.

You will learn various things when you have toddler at home. I was working on my laptop when my daughter brought her magazines and asked me to buy her an english saddles, while pointing at it, so she can ride on her horse. She won’t stop begging until you say yes, so even I have no I intention to buy her that, I just say yes so she will leave me alone. She said that she want to be an equestrian when she grows up. So now I’m looking things that will help her body to be prepare in this kind of sports.

After this month my sister will close the house she bought close to our area. My next assignment is to help her do the repairs and purchasing furniture for it. I need to look at wooden screens and dressing tables for her room. The wooden screen will serve as a divider from the master bath and the sitting area on her room. The master bedroom on the house she will buy is not big enough to have build a divider. Anyways, these are the ones I found that will match on her taste:

The photo screen on the left has been hand carved from mango wood and stained in a dark teak. The design is geometric allowing it to sit in a more contemporary room set. The one on the right is a four-part folding screen, it was intricately hand-carved in India from mango wood and the white-washed finish sets off the detail of the carving beautifully. This one is ideal as a room divider or simply as a decorative feature.

I like Lombok.co.uk because they really describe each product in detail. Example is I can look at the width and height of each wooden screen that I picked out. If I hover my mouse to the photo I can see more details on this wooden screen. Knowing the details will help us visualize the design we are thinking.

The prices on the store are very reasonable. They have wide selection of furniture and accessories to choose from. I might get additional occasional chairs for my sister’s living room. You can also browse from their “Get the Look” tab to get some inspiration. Once you pick the inspiration you want, the product that is available on their website will show at the bottom of the page. From there you can compute how much you need for the particular design that you like. That will help not overspending and staying within the budget only.
