Cosmetic Surgery: To Do or Not to Do

Cosmetic surgery has been a controversial topic for years now and like always, people are divided: people who are pro-cosmetic surgery and the people who are anti-cosmetic surgery. There are some people who approach cosmetic surgery in a religious and self-righteous way. They say that people should not have cosmetic surgeries like boob jobs because we are already perfect and we are beautiful as we are because this is the way that God wanted us to be.

But in my opinion, I approach this issue in a scientific way and practical way. What I mean by this statement is that I am for cosmetic surgery and I will want to have a surgery done to me like a liposuction. Many people have already done several cosmetic surgeries to their body and this is why they are now beautiful or even more beautiful than ever... who are they? The celebrities of course.

Some would say that they would prefer real "natural" beauty but they are being hypocritical about this when the people they idolize and even obsess about are products of cosmetic surgery. I am happy that cosmetic surgery is available because with this science we are able to correct any flaws that we may have in ourselves thus making our lives better. Because of cosmetic surgeries people who sometimes see themselves as ugly are given the chance to live life again to the fullest without being restrained by the thoughts that people will judge them and their physical flaws. With cosmetic surgery, people become more positive and happy as well as confident about themselves.

Scared of Changes

In this world... the only thing that doesn't change is the fact that everything changes... nothing lasts forever...

Even if I know this fact it still strikes fear into me. I'm afraid of what may happen. But then if I don't know anything nothing will happen to me... I won't move forward. Change can be good. It may be good or it may be bad but change must happen for the world to move forward.

I'm tired of working for Tim Hortons and I'm tired of earning just $9.50 an hour. That's why I looked and searched for jobs... and guess what? A potential employer has contacted me and I had scheduled an interview with them. If I am accepted and hired I may work on a fixed schedule as a customer service representative working Mondays to Fridays at 1:30 pm to 9:30 pm. And the best part about it is that I might actually earn $20 an hour (well as they claimed). I know that it's too good to be true so I'm going to be cautious.

I do have fears with this big move... like what do I do? How do I quit my current job without burning bridges if Ace 1 Advertising and Acquisitions hire me? How do I get to my job since it's very far away. Will there still be buses available at 10 pm? Will I like my new job? Will I even be accepted?

Anyway if I'm unhappy with my current job and if I want to preserve my dignity and sanity well I better grab any good opportunity that appears right?

Identifying the Unknown

Do you hate it when there are unknown callers to your home? Well you do have the caller ID but then it's not that good because most annoying and sometimes harassing phone callers have the ability to cloak their names.

I had never experienced telemarketing this invasive way back home in the Philippines. Heck, we didn't have telemarketing in the Philippines calling and disturbing us in the comfort of our home. What's worst is if you answer the phone and you just hear a recording.

That is why it would be great to be able to trace a phone number and call up that caller saying I know who you are and where you live. Stop calling me or I'll take legal actions against you.

Yup you can have the power to know who called you even if their numbers are unlisted and you can be sure that it is 100% confidential. They won't know that you know who they are. With reverse phone lookups offered by phoneinfotracer.com you can trace a phone number and even know the exact location of the caller even if they are using a cellphone. Isn't that great? It's like having your own personal FBI agent tracing unknown callers for you.

Angels on Earth

Some may think of angels as a transcendental being or those beings with white wings and who fights of evil and serves as God's messengers...

But to me, the real angels are the real human beings here on earth who help other people when they are in need. But one does not have to do extreme acts to be called an angel. By simply being courteous or nice to someone could make that person an angel.

Angels for me are people who makes each passing day worthwhile. These are the people who make the world a better place.

So who are the devils? Well the people who are opposite of the angels. They're rude, self-absorbed, selfish and destroy everything around them. They are infectious as they tend to make other people evil to as one will be evil to protect one's self from evil because if your good, these evil people will team up against you. It's a never ending vicious cycle... but we can really break this cycle. Be an angel... don't transfer your hate to other people and always be kind and patient to people. Being calm and forgiving makes things better rather than being hot headed and rude.

Roadmap to the Internet

I guess almost everyone in the world knows what the internet is and many are so hooked to the use of the internet that if one can't access the internet one would probably die of boredom or frustration. We do everything on the internet, not just for finding information, but also for entertainment, paying the bills, buying stuff online, or simply to communicate with the rest of the world.

As I said most of us knows what the internet is, but there are others who have absolutely no idea what the internet is. Well for starters, if you really want to know what the internet is you have to experience what the internet is so you need an internet service provider. There are actually so many types of internet service providers that offers DSL, dial up, and cable internet services.

But if you really want a super fast internet connection and that you are far flung from civilization that no local internet service providers can reach you, you better get a Satellite Internet Service Provider.

But of course, getting a satellite connection is not that affordable really that is why if your looking for great internet speeds at much more affordable prices, you can check out getisp.info. As the name shows, it's a great resource about finding cheap and reliable internet service providers plus it offers many great helpful articles like wireless security and avoiding online scams.

I know that to some the internet may be pretty intimidating (to think learning to use the computer is hard enough) but you don't have to worry because getisp.info is there to serve as your roadmap to the internet.

Gaming a Waste of Time

As much as it hurts me to say this but I have found playing PC games and PS3 games a complete waste of time... well the thing is I actually don't have time to play games and stuff. This is pretty hard to believe from someone who don't study for midterm exams just to play gameboy games hehehe.

Oh well, maybe I'm just saying this because I'm frustrated that Playstation 3 can't play Playstation 2 games. I'm mad at Sony for being such a money hungry corporation. I know that their reason for not allowing the PS3 to play PS2 games is that it would cause their PS2 to be outdated and no one would buy them anymore and they didn't want this because they still have a surplus on PS2 consoles. I also hated it when I have to pay them to upgrade my Sony Ericsson media manager in order for me to transfer videos to my Sony Ericsson W960i. Like that is completely robing me of my money, of course I didn't pay them. I'd rathe buy a new phone like Nokia whose phones are more user friendly and they won't have to make me pay extra to transfer videos to my phone.

But my love for games has not completely vanished. As soon as I quit my job there will be plenty of time for me to play games hehehe.

Tick-Tock-Tick-Tock

If you haven't guessed what I will be writing about then you may have missed a lot from your childhood. I'm going to be writing about clocks, but not just about any ordinary old boring clocks, I'm going to write about grandfather clocks.

You see I've been over to a friend's house and I couldn't help but notice their grandfather clock. I was sitting alone in their living room (I forgot why I was waiting in the first place) and I couldn't help but notice their Howard Miller grandfather clock. Yup I asked where they bought their clock and I was amazed to find out that their clock was actually brand new. But I didn't notice this immediately because I couldn't help myself but appreciate the beautiful design and what I loved most about it is it's tick-tock sound and the sound it makes every hour.

I couldn't help myself but imagine the many stories and fairy tales that includes a grandfather clock. Who would have guessed that a grandfather clock could evoke so many memories of stories of fantasy. But I guess that grandfather clocks are not only merely for bringing up memories huh? Because a grandfather clock could be a great decorative item in my home that's for sure! I'm sure that our visitors would always notice the grandfather clock and this could be a great ice breaker and conversation starter.

I've never realized that I really like clocks this much. I just noticed that I'm a clock lover because I was the one who insisted of having clocks in every room of our house. Oh well, I might as well start collecting clocks starting with buying my very own grandfather clock!




Male Breast Reduction

Yup you heard me right! Male breast reduction! Now why would any male in their right mind would want a surgical procedure that would reduce the size of their breasts when males have not much of a breast to remove in the first place?

Well you're partly wrong and right. All though males don't have big breasts like women do but when you're fat or obese you tend to have fat build up under your breasts thus having the impression that you have man boobs. The enlargement of the breasts is medically called gynecomastia and gaining a few weight is not the only cause for breasts to implode like that especially in the case of males.

Excessive weight training can cause the hypertrophy or excessive enlargement of the pectoralis muscles (chest muscles) or it could also be caused by hormonal imbalances, especially if a man has more female sex hormones in his system than male sex hormones.

But what ever the cause maybe male breast reduction is really needed as man boobs are not good to look at and this could greatly cause psychological problems for men.

So my dear students have you learned anything from my topic? If not well you can go directly to the source of this info. And if you need any surgical procedures of any nature and you want to know why you have to have such a procedure onlinesurgery.com is a great source of information.

Web Hosting

A lot of people were asking me how I was able to make my own website. Well making a website and designing it and stuff is pretty darn simple. There are thousands of free website templates that anyone can download on the internet. But if you really want to make your very own personal website then the very first thing you must do is find the right web host!

But the thing is there are thousands of web hosts out there and it so hard to find the right one that is really worth your money. And as I have told my friends, I highly recommend web hosting choice.

Unlike any website that reviews and rates web hosting sites, web hosting choice is totally unique as it is a great resource for total newbies and beginners in the world of blogging and website building. So if you have no idea what a host is and you don't understand a thing I'm saying, well web hosting choice is definitely perfect for you! They will give you information to start out and help you find the right web hosting site for you and give you tips on how to check if a site is a scam or not.

Madonna

I was watching a documentary of Madonna (Yup she has a documentary! She's a Legend of Pop!) when it said something about the controversial American Dream of Madonna. Well of course, my curiosity got the best of me and I searched for the said video. Well I didn't have to search to far thanks to Youtube:


The music video combined with the song brings out an explosive message of how US supremacy is affecting third world countries. If the US wants to wage wars on other countries then they can. But I think that the deeper message is not really being anti-US but rather being an anti-war.

War brings so much death and violence. There is nothing that war can solve. Period.

Losing Weight: Fast & Easy

Let's face it... food is very good. There are times that we try to eat right but the temptations of eating to satisfy our cravings always get the better of us so we always break our promises of continuing our diet or exercise thus even if we do lose weight we quickly regain that lost weight since we go back to our old bad eating habits.

Losing weight is no easy task. If it was then every one would be very thin and healthy. But it's a good thing that among the several resources on the internet, weight-loss-diet-help.com sheds light on the secrets of a successful diet plan and routine.

Weight Loss Diet Help is a good resource to find reviews on several effective online diet programs, weight loss articles, plus coupons and deals like save on Medifast shakes, bars, pudding, soups and drinks.

Wouldn't it be great to just live life and eat food that you love like chocolates, pasta, cakes and still lose weight?! Don't believe me? Just check out the amazing weight loss programs that weight Loss Diet Help is sharing to the public.

But the thing that separates Weight Loss Diet Help from other websites on the internet is that the main goal of Weight Loss Diet Help is healthy weight loss. You can't lose a lot of weight in just a short span of time, because if you do you are only doing more damage to your body than good.

With many diet fads and weight loss myths it is imperative that one is well informed so that one can lose weight and successfully retain that lost weight. I sure would like to lose weight but I can never do this if I just sit around and do nothing. We have to do simple steps to reduce calories and then proceed to bigger actions to reduce our weight. The process may be slow but at least we are getting somewhere.

Back to School Tips

As they say time passes so fast... and indeed it does! Because in just a few weeks classes will once again open and my little brother will once again be going to school. I'm actually quite worried that he won't be able to cope with the stress of high school life so I was glad to read some useful back to school tips from DYMO.



I sure did wish that I had heard of DYMO Label Makers sooner when I was in college because I could have used DYMO to file folders which as a nursing student have tons of. I have lots of paper works and photocopied materials that I tend to have a room filled with a bunch of papers and I end up not finding anything because of the mess and clutter. But with a label maker like DYMO, organizing my life would have been so easy and manageable.

Both my brother and me are klutz and we tend to lose stuff easily so labeling our stuff would truly prevent us from losing them and getting them mixed up with other people's belonging.

Well there are other several ways to use a DYMO label maker so why don't you check out their helpful tips and tricks so that you could also organize your life and keep your possessions safe.

The Dustbuster!

Guess what the very first item I've bought when I received my credit card? A vacuum cleaner! Yup call me a clean freak but I loved this vacuum cleaner that I've bought. This was not any other vacuum cleaner people, it was a Black & Decker dustbuster!

I've seen this baby at the hardware store near us and I've been wanting to buy it ever since. What I liked about it is it's very compact design. Unlike any other bulky and heavy vacuum cleaner the dustbuster is small and lightweight. And when I used it I was totally blown away, how could a tiny little thing have so much suction power? Technology is truly amazing.

I used to hate vacuuming but with the dustbuster cleaning has never been easier. I vacuum almost everyday so our house has never been cleaner.

Rubber Stamp

How easy life would be if I had a rubber stamp. Like I could stamp my name on everything I owned because my brother can't seem to distinguish what belongs to him and what belongs to me.

There could be so many ways that I could use a rubber stamp. How nice it would be if I had my own personalized signature stamp which I could use on my letters and stuff.

Anyway at least I'm happy to discover that I found a place where I can order self-inking stamps here in Canada online. Yup we have our very own VistaPrint here where you can create and design your own stamps for very low prices.

Plus other than stamps they also make business cards, calendars, brochures, and anything else you can print or not print like your own website! Isn't that cool?

So next time I have any projects or if I need anything for work I'll be sure to check out VistaPrint.ca.

David Archuleta's Crush

After a long time of waiting I can't believe that David Archuleta's first single is out and it is already rocking. Once again the singing sensation has captured the hearts of many fans with his amazing voice and the catchy tune of his single "Crush".

Once my credit card arrives I'll be sure to use it on iTunes to download David's song. Or why not the whole album instead. Anyway, here us David Archuleta's Crush. Hope you enjoy it as I did.



I hung up the phone tonight,
something happened for the first time, deep inside
It was a rush, what a rush
Cause the possibility that you would ever
Feel the same way about me
It's just too much, just too much
Why do I keep running from the truth
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized, and I just got to know


Do you ever think, when you're all alone
All that we could be, Where this thing could go
Am I crazy or falling in love
Is it really just another crush
Do you catch a breath, when I look at you
Are you holding back, like the way I do
Cause I'm tryin, try to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin away, goin away


Has it ever crossed your mind when we were hanging
Spending time girl, are we just friends
Is there more, is there more
See it's a chance we've gotta take
Cause I believe we can make this into
Something that will last, last forever, forever


Do you ever think, when you're all alone
All that we could be, Where this thing could go
Am I crazy or falling in love
Is it really just another crush
Do you catch a breath, when I look at you
Are you holding back, like the way I do
Cause I'm tryin, try to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin away, goin away


Why do I keep running from the truth
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I just got to know


Do you ever think, when you're all alone
All that we could be, Where this thing could go
Am I crazy or falling in love
Is it really just another crush
Do you catch a breath, when I look at you
Are you holding back, like the way I do
Cause I'm tryin, try to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin away, goin away

Getting a Good Night's Sleep

I have been on duty in hospitals and I have also been admitted to a hospital myself and I have to say that I love the adjustable beds in hospitals. What am I talking about? Well take a look at this picture:



These are the beds that could improve circulation, makes us breath easier (raising the head part of the bed increases lung capacity), and it's just well darn so comfortable to sleep in because it's goodbye to back pains! And I love these beds because you can watch TV and read a book with out hurting your back because you could just raise the head of the bed to support your back.

Well it's too bad that we can't always admit ourselves in the hospital to enjoy a good bed right? Well with GoldenRest Adjustable Beds you can enjoy your very own adjustable bed for the same price as a regular mattress.

But do you think that an ordinary mattress could give you so many health benefits? Plus you can get luxurious options like a heater, massager, and remote control with your GoldenRest Adjustable Beds.

Sleeping is a luxury for most of us so don't waste your precious sleeping time and just end up waking in the morning sore all over and feeling so tired as if you didn't sleep at all. You deserve a good nights sleep so you should deserve your very own GoldenRest Adjustable Beds.

Father's Day

I have always missed celebrating Fathers Day because either I'm busy or he's busy. But the main reason why I don't celebrate Fathers Day with my dad is that he and I have some serious issues going on that's why we couldn't get a long.

But since you could never choose your family and he could also be good at times, I'd love to make it up to him by giving him something special for the next Fathers Day. I have searched in stores and online for something special that I could give him but I guess that I am running short ongift ideas right now.

Well I've found this website called DadShop.com.au and this is a great place for ideas. It's lgreat to find a store that specializes in gifts for dads. How cool is that?

One Cause of Bad Breath


I really hate it when customers with bad breath bends closer to me to tell me their order. I can't help but step back a bit. Some of you may think this is rude but I'm just being cautious. One cause of bad breath is not just because of tooth decay or of someone forgot to brush their teeth. One cause of bad breath is a congested digestive tract. Yup, people believe that the main cause of bad breath is the mouth but the truth is as more waste accumulates with in the colons (because of a slowed peristalsis or the like) bacteria accumulates and where there is bacteria they produce toxins which causes not only a bad odor but also compromises one's health and immune system as these toxins kill of good bacteria and the death of good bacteria gives opportunity for bad bacteria to accumulate.

One solution to prevent this from happening is to have a colon cleanse especially if you are constipated. A compromised digestive system means a compromised immune system because overpopulation of bad bacteria could lead to serious superinfection therefore maintaining a fiber rich diet and regular exercise is necessary. Fiber and exercise increases peristalsis so therefore the colon will be cleansed.

On Home Improvement

I really miss my old house. It may be small and needs a lot of improvement but never the less it was my home where somehow I found some peace of mind and where I felt safe.

I really pity the people who bought that house because it needs a major improvement. And one improvement that they have to face are the windows. Yup they need professionals to fix our windows, they need Window Replacement Contractors.

Yup they need professionals to the job alright because the house is totally in bad shape. The roof needs fixing too especially the rain gutters. Boy, good thing we sold our old home cheap because the new buyers would need more money fixing it. But if I were them they should contact a company like ContractorsUSA so that they could get a free estimate of their expenses in fixing the house and so that they can be assured that the people that they are hiring to fix their new home are professionals and know what they are doing.

FINALLY!!! The Internet is HERE!

Hahaha! Up yours TELUS! Sorry for that. It's just that I'm so frustrated with Telus because they had to make us wait for several days for them to install our TV Cable + Phone + Internet Bundle. But they never came and they had the nerve to make us wait for another several days. But good thing for us Canada is home to more better service providers such as SHAW!

Yup SHAW only made us wait for three days (which could only be a day if we called after and not before Saturday and Sunday) to install our utilities. And I am loving SHAW! Their Pay Per View service is excellent, the phone service is excellent, the internet speed is excellent, plus the customer service is excellent. It makes me want to say SHAW = EXCELLENT!!!

Plus our Shaw bundle does not only saves us a lot of money it also comes with a free Shaw Secure software ($90 for non-Shaw internet subscribers) which protects us from viruses, spyware, identity theft, spam, and pesky pop-ups.

Our subscription also comes with 10 free e-mail addresses and web pages. Having Shaw is one good reason to move to Canada hehehe.
