Last summer, we went to Baguio and went to Wright Park. My sisters and I rode the horses like crazy! Actually, we got tired after twenty minutes of bouncing but we still rode and had fun. Well, you don’t really get to visit Baguio City everyday, do you? Haha.
Safety tip for the day: When horseback riding, remember to check if the saddles are actually locked tight and safe ‘cause you might end up in an accident that’s uncalled for. That wouldn’t be nice to see.
So always remember to take care of yourself and your loved ones too!

We all know that one’s birthday is a special day. Others love to make a big fuss of it, with parties and booze and all that stuff. Others hate it when they get greeted or sang to by friends and family. I, for one, love celebrating it with my family and friends. I give out birthday invitations if it’s a party or if I get too lazy, I just text people, or invite them personally.
Don’t forget to invite ALL of your friends, ‘cause if you don’t they’ll most probably think that you don’t like them that much, or that you have some issues or there’s a problem with your friendship, so invite everyone and ask those you invited to invite others too. If you don’t have much budget, then try not to announce it in public so others wouldn’t get offended if they didn’t get invited.

There are a lot of diseases, illnesses, sicknesses, (and any other word for that) nowadays. You’ll never know when these ailments would strike you or your loved ones, so I recommend you guys to get a health insurance not only for yourselves, but only for your family as well! This way you can sleep sound knowing that even if you or your loved ones get sick, you know you can handle the expenses ‘cause these insurances would help a lot.
As the old saying goes, prevention is better than cure! It always has and it always will be. Right?! RIGHT!

Making sure that your children are safe all the time isn’t a bad thing. They might think you’re being too strict or overprotective, but if you really do love them, you’ll secure their future, right?
I don’t have kids myself but if ever given the chance to have one, or more, then I’ll most probably get a children’s life insurance to ensure my children’s safety.
I can’t stress this enough. Prevention is better than cure. It’s better to spend a few money saving up for security for your loved ones than being shocked at some expense you weren’t able to save money on.

My officemates and I are currently busy revising our website’s template. While doing that, we did some usability studies and research on how to effectively create a user and SEO friendly layout, and found out how much our website sucks. This lead to an overhaul of our site and eventually, the overhaul of our site logo…
We’re currently brainstorming with our site logo and I was lucky to find out a do-it-yourself instant logo design creator online. Amazing. In few easy steps, I was able to come up with several professional looking designs. They pretty much have all sorts of cool related designs per topic. I played around with it a bit and come up with this (this is not our website domain, it’s just for testing purposes):

I’ll still mix and match around, send a couple of my designs to our CEO, then wait and see. I’m pretty sure our CEO will be amazed himself with the professional looking logo designs I’ll be able to come up with that amazing logo creator. Especially with the fact that those logo designs do not lose detail when you make them smaller. It will be a definite shoo-in when he finds out that if he decided to get our logo and design today, we not only get to make free unlimited changes to the card we create, we also get a 100 free premium-printed business cards coupon! Truly amazing.

I studied in a Catholic School and we were taught of the seven deadly sins - envy, pride, gluttony, lust, anger, greed and sloth. I learned also about the venial sins, which are relatively minor sins and these can be forgiven.
Recently, the Vatican updated its thou-shalt-not list. Now, the mind-damaging drugs and genetic experiments are included in the “new sins”. Monsignor Gianfranco Girotti, the head of the Apostolic Penitentiary, cited these sins “violate the basic rights of human nature” through genetic manipulation and the drugs that “weaken the mind and cloud intelligence.
Therefore, more attention should be given to the problems on drugs and the victims should have drug treatment soonest. The church and the state together with the community should work together to address this menace of the world.

How can you transform a car into a boat?
How can an angel be created from a car and be transformed into a boat angel?
This could be possible through car donation. So if you have an old car in your garage, or you plan to buy a new car, you can donate your old car to Car angel http://www.carangel.com , a non-profit company that makes educational and spiritual videos for kids and teens. This company had already distributed more than 2.4 million videos that have touched and changed the lives not only of the youth, but the adults as well.
The old car and other in-kind donations received by the company are used to finance the production of the videos which you can access at http://youtube.com/user/boatangel. As such, the angel that came out from the old car flies to the sea to become boat angel to bring the good news to the world.

As I’ve mentioned in my earlier post, I have been having headaches with pulsating and recurring shots of pain in the back of my head for several days now. My cousin, Abigail, who’s currently taking up pre-med, ruled out migraine and tension headache and said it was due to eyestrain since I’ve been doing a movie marathon for several days. All I have to do is take a rest off the TV and I will get better.
Not convinced, I decided to do some research to differentiate eyestrain from migraine and tension headache. While reading over some definitions and cures, I was surprised to read an article about Botox for migraines. I have always associated Botox as a cosmetic treatment for wrinkles, but as treatment for migraine?!
Reading on, the article stated, “In studies, it has been found that 80 percent of migraine patients who underwent Botox injections experienced migraine relief for four to six months, suffering fewer and less intense migraines over that time period.” Hmmm… I ought to suggest it to my sister Anne who’s been having migraines a lot these days. As for me, I think my cousin was right, the headaches have minimized to almost nil since I decided to give the marathon a rest.

Cristina, my colleague and photographer friend, immediately grabbed me by the hand when I entered the office and dragged me to her workstation to show me a camera with the word “FE”, my nickname. She knows how obsessed I am with things labeled with “Fe”. The camera I’m talking about is an Olympus digital camera – FE-230.
It’s very fitting for me, really, because my birthday is on October 23 and the number on FE-230 coincides with it. I like the fact that it’s slim and it is a 7.1 megapixel digital camera. Only, the optical zoom is just up to 3x. Then again, with the digital camera model bearing my name plus my birth day, I guess the merits outweigh the drawbacks on this camera. 0;)

While canvassing on online language courses, I encountered a social networking website wherein teachers and students from all over the world can actually mingle. The website’s name is mingle only with a “Y” – mYngle.com. It is a free avenue for language teachers and students wherein one can choose your own teacher or student depending on your specific needs, availability and price.
It generally “offers a solution by providing both students and teachers in different locations with a complete online language instruction platform, containing all resources needed for synchronous e-learning.” What’s I like about this program is that students can opt to avail of a demo lesson with your selected teacher before you have to pay anything. This will definitely save you a lot of cash and ensure that you will really get what you paid for. I might try it one of these days…
