Recent HK Trip

You might wonder what happened to me for the past couple of weeks. I hadn’t been updating because I was so busy. I went on a business trip last week. It was the first time that little boy and I was separated and did not go to bed together. It was really heartbreaking the last night before my departure. He was begging me to bring him along. He and his dad stayed in my in-laws’ place for the whole duration of it. He did not cry but he doesn’t want to talk about anything related to mommy. They said it’s his way of coping up.

I was busy the whole week. The workshop runs from 9am to 5:30 and I have to do a bit of work after that. I usually leave the office at around 8pm. That leaves me so little time to spend time with my former office buddies who were transferred to HK. It didn’t give me enough time to shop as well.

It was only on my last two days that I was able to buy something for our little one. I was tempted to buy him a VTECH laptop but M0rn1ng reminded me that her sister already bought one. I am left to choose between a grocery shop set complete with a make believe Honeywell Barcode Scanner and an International Airport set. I choose the last one because he is very fascinated with planes and helicopters. I made the right choice as he loved it the moment he saw it.

It was so great to be reunited with my boys last Saturday. I felt that there is no place like home.

On Alcoholism & Drug Abuse

We are living in a stressed society. We have faced far more complicated challenges than people who have lived 5-10 decades before us. There are more and more broken homes and marriages, a lot of people losing their jobs, parents who in pursuit to make a living have neglected their children often the result is rebellion. There are threats of virus like Influenza A H1N1. So it is not a surprise that a lot of people are getting depressed. Some escape reality by getting into drug or alcohol abuse.

Popular people like music artists, actors and actresses are getting involved. Having money and being popular cannot really bring happiness. There are some who are able to bounce back through the help of drug rehab. These centers provide a comfortable and nurturing environment that is key to the recovery success. I’ve seen the pictures and the facilities look very nice and it really feels like the person is just having a vacation some place else. It also claims to have a world class clinical staff who are trained for substance abuse and addiction treatments.

However, I think that more that the treatments that they receive inside, it is equally important to have support after as an individual may bounce back to the same lifestyle after the treatments are done.

Road Assistance

It’s been raining non-stop for the pas couple of days. What can we expect? It’s really the rainy season here in our part of the world. It is a welcome change from the hot summer weather but it really sucks to go out when it is dripping wet outside. Commute is hard. Traffic is horrendous. If you have your own transport, it is also hard to navigate the slippery roads which often cause accidents. If your RV or car is not in good condition, it is a headache to encounter a breakdown with no help available.

This is the reason why more and more people are signing up for companies that offer roadside assistance and rv towing. A lot of these companies offer 24/7 assistance, flat tire service, protection for all household vehicles and many more. I think you’ll get value for your money for these kind of deals.

Preventing the Sickies

More and more people are getting sick these past few weeks. Our little boy had fever from Monday till Wednesday. My other sister is also the same and has to take some time off from work. Blame it to the inclement weather. At one point of the day it is very hot and we’re sweating like pigs then a heavy downpour in the late afternoons. I couldn’t even coordinate what I wear to how the temperature will be for the whole day as it is becoming harder and harder to predict.

At times like these, we really need immune system boosters to avoid getting sick. I’ve been doing a lot in the office and been having bigger responsibilities. Getting sick cannot be on the list. Good thing that there are vitamins and supplements that really works.

Look Before you Jump

I’ve always been wary about taking medicines, vitamins and herbal capsules. I only take them if doctors prescribe it. Can you blame me? We’ve heard horror stories and how dangerous it is.

However, diet pills are a different story. More and more people are taking them just because it is widely advertised. People buy them, use them without being wary of side effects. Maybe because we all want to look fit and good so we’re willing to try all means just to attain that. Exercise is too much of work and it needs discipline. So we’re willing to take that short cut. But we do not have to try blindly. There are a lot of diet pill reviews that we can read and learn from. This can be our deciding factor whether to buy that specific product. Look before you jump.

Global Pinoys

Have you seen the Metro June Issue? The cover page feature is Leah Salonga and the main theme is about Global Pinoy. So is it any wonder that Leah is the cover page? Included on the list are Manny Pacquiao and some businessmen and women like the owner of Zen Zest.

I also chanced upon Toni Leviste. Her accomplishments as an equestrian are really something Filipinos can be proud of. She also looks good in that issue, her equestrian breeches suits her well, just like her friend Mikee Cojuangco.
