During my initial checkup with my dermatologist, two of my questions where what the two tiny brownish spots right on my cheekbones are and how I could get rid of them. Apparently, I devastatingly found out that those were age spots (sometimes called sun spots or lentigines).

The culprit? As the name implies – Sun. Those brownish spots which, over time, appear on your face and body, is actually a result of overexposure to the sun.

Age spots, are actually common and generally appear as we age. This is because as we age our skin is subjected to more and more sun damage; at the same time our skin’s natural ability to fend off UV rays from the sun begins to deteriorate. These age spots can be effectively treated with lasers. However, my dermatologist recommended that I just use an SPF 45 facial sunblock since the two brownish spots can easily be concealed and is not that visible. Thank God! Laser treatments can be pretty expensive, not to mention daunting at times.

So for those who don’t want to acquire sun spots over time, wear sunblock.

Last week, I’ve decided that it’s time to move forward and join a new company. So, in spite of the fact that my new job offer does not include health coverage or benefits, which means I need to start going through life insurance leads and avail one for my own, the compensation and growth and career opportunity in the new company definitely outweighs that minor inconvenience. Consequently, I formally resigned from my company of six years.

Creating a resignation letter was actually quite a breeze for me because I simply just recycled the one I used in 2007. However, I had never found the need to bid farewell to my colleagues until now. I did research on “How to inform your colleagues about your resignation” and was able to come up with the goodbye-let’s-still-keep-in-touch letter below. It’s a personal email to be sent to your colleagues. After all, you wouldn’t want to burn the bridges now, won’t you? Hope this letter helps!

When I was in college, there was this fad about Mane and Tail being a great shampoo for hair growth. Since the shampoo was quite pricey back then and my budget was quite limited when I was in the university, I never did get to try it. My roommate Dianne, who was well-off was able to try it and confirmed that Mane and Tail shampoo really improves human hair growth. Dianne loved the smell as well and often gets complimented with her hair. She used the Mane and Tail conditioner with it of course.

I’m just not sure if this shampoo works with people who are balding though. However, for those who are growing their hair out, aside from using a hair growth improvement shampoo, here’s something to consider (I got it from yahoo answers):

if you haven’t had a cut in a while, and the ends are dead, that may be why your hair isn’t growing fast. if that’s the case, get a really cheap hair trim that just gets the ends off (be specific about not cutting any more than necessary).

this will keep the hair healthy and growing at a faster pace.

good luck and remember that in this case, be very patient

Hope this helps! ^_^

One of the perks in my friend MJ’s new company is a 70% discount on the monthly fee in Gold’s Gym. What’s really great about it is that MJ can sign-up two more people for the same discounted rate! Guess who’s one of the friends he invited? Moi! ^_^

The other one is his new housemate, Tony. MJ said we could all start on June 1. All we need is to get the access card at their office on Tuesday, and then we can go straight to the gym and start sweating the fats off.

I’m pretty excited. I heard they offer the best ab workout there. If all goes well, I’ll have a to-die-for body just before I join my new company on the last week of June. Now all I need is to follow a rigid exercise routine and minimize my intake of carbohydrates.

Fed up with my CEO’s unfair treatment and inability to manage people, I have decided to go forth and seek for another career opportunity where I could definitely bloom to my fullest. Time for job applications and interviews…

Before those though, I need to make myself more presentable. The eye wrinkles I’ve accumulated due to stress in my current job are becoming more apparent. Also, I need to look more relaxed, not desperate. Hmmm… at the moment, what I need is to buy a good eye cream for wrinkles and schedule myself for a full body massage to relieve the tension on my back.

Oh, and I’ll need to get myself some interview clothes and shoes as well. Hehehe. I know it sounds like I’m just making up a good excuse to go shopping 0;) but trust me when I say that during interviews, how you carry yourself and how you look, from head to toe, matters – not just your curriculum vitae or resume. After all, how you present yourself speaks volumes of your character.

Wish me luck!

When I was in college, handouts were commonly used. You had to go to photocopy services to get the handouts that your professor left. It takes a lot of time and effort… and make you sweat profusely, as well!

In the middle of my college years, I started missing textbooks. We used them a lot during our high school years, and I didn’t mind carrying those heavy books to school.

1) The pages weren’t so easy to tear apart.
2) It’s not too hard to find when in a pile of mess.

Sure, handouts are easy to carry around and they don’t make your bag heavy, but they’re also very damage prone, which ends up in disaster most of the time.

Ack, these are the moments where I wish I was in high school again.

I’ve been thinking about how innovative the world is right now. We have too many inventions that we never really thought we’d need, but we couldn’t live without now.

When I was young, I was quite fat, and all my friends teased me so. I swore to myself that I’d invent a kind of fat burner to help kids like me avoid this situation.

I guess being young also made me superficial and think that everything is so easy. The course that I took during my college life isn’t in any way related to robotics, so I guess someone else will have to fulfill that dream for me.

Being enrolled in three SEM coaching programs, and having recently subscribed to two SEO reputable sources, I’ve been encountering a lot of terminologies such as squeeze page, sell merchant account, and list building. They could all be pretty terrifying at first encounter. But as with everything else, once you do get to understand what they mean exactly, you then get used to them.

I do admire those who can coach in layman’s terms though. This is because most of the time, when a person gets too immersed in a particular field, they tend to forget, or sometimes even just neglect, that the people they are teaching actually have no clue about what they’re saying. More often than not, what may seem basic to those coaches is still something wherein their students have little to no understanding.

This is why, even though I already know most of the basics, I still attend seminars to get tips on how to deliver a particular message in the best, most comprehensive way to an ordinary person. After all, my future SEM clients will definitely not be knowledgeable about what I do. And the best way to rid them of all apprehension in SEM is to be able to explain to them, in layman’s term, what SEM is really all about.

Ruth is currently taking up Social Science 3, which is the study of Gender and Sexuality, and she told me about her recent lesson. It was about male anatomy and sexuality.

She told me about the various diseases that men have, and problems that they have during growth and sexual activity. Our little talk made me aware about testosterone boosters. I didn’t even know such a thing existed!

I guess our society is too technology-based that we have almost everything we need.

My cousin Abi will be taking her medical board exam this August. Now that her internship’s over, she’s determined to spend the rest of her days reviewing for the exam in the basement.

To help her have a more conducive learning space, I assisted her in rearranging the basement. Unfortunately, after cleaning it up, we found that the desk and chair that she’s supposed to use are both broken and beyond repair. Instead of buying new ones though, we decided to ask the principal of the school a few blocks away from our house if they’re selling old school furniture. Just our luck, the school’s on the process of renovating several classrooms and getting rid of the entire classroom furniture, including their white boards! Abi and I ended up hiring a van to bring several desks, chairs, and even a white board home. ^_^ Problem solved – cheaply!
