Excited to be Home...

2009-10-10T04:36:00.000-07:00

I’m excited to go home on Sunday morning, not because I seldom go home, actually I even go home in our town every month. I’m excited to be home again because we are going to celebrate my nephew’s 2nd birthday. Yes, it’s actually Aljon’s second birthday on October 12.

So what will be Aunt Glad’s gifts?

I bought DVD’s of Finding Nemo and the Cars movie, not only that since I knew that he like trains, I also bought the Thomas the Tank Engine with trail of course.

I know that Aljon will surely like them!

I love you Aljon..mwuaahhh!

Snacks that Helps You Sleep

2009-10-06T22:41:00.000-07:00

Do you know that there are good snacks before bedtime? Snacks that ensure serious shut-eye; they're all hand-picked and approved by the Eat This, Not That! nutrition team.

1. NONFAT POPCORN
Pop a bag half an hour before bedtime: The carbs will induce your body to create serotonin, a neurochemical that makes you feel relaxed. Skipping the butter-fat will slow the process of boosting those feel-good chemicals, and, as mentioned above, will also slow digestion in general.

2. OATMEAL WITH SLICED BANANA
Bring your brain back down to earth by whipping up a bowl of instant oatmeal and topping it with a sliced banana, which is rich in melatonin.

3. 1 CUP OF PLAIN YOGURT WITH 2 TABLESPOONS MIXED NUTS
Scientists in Slovakia gave people either 3 grams each of two amino acids (lysine and arginine) or a placebo and asked them to deliver a speech. Blood measurements of stress hormones revealed that the amino acid-fortified speakers were half as anxious during and after the speech as those who took the placebo. Yogurt is one of the best food sources of lysine; nuts pack tons of arginine. Because both contain alertness-inducing protein, you're best off eating this combo a few hours before bed (or even at midday, before a big, stressful presentation at work). It'll reduce the residual stress you feel later in the evening, meaning you won't replay your day over and over again in your head as you try to fall asleep.

4. A PILE OF SESAME SEEDS
Sesame seeds are one of the best natural sources of tryptophan, the sleep-inducing amino acid responsible for all of those post-Thanksgiving turkey comas. Hold off on the turkey sammies, though-the protein in the turkey might offset the tryptophan's benefit.

5. A HANDFUL OF PRETZELS
Pretzels are a low-calorie, low-fat source of carbohydrates, which will make you feel sleepy, but won't pack on the pounds or give you belly-aching indigestion.

6. 1 GLASS OF WINE
It's called a "nightcap" for a reason--a glass of wine really does take the edge off. University of Toronto researchers discovered that one alcoholic drink caused people's blood vessels to relax--but two began to reverse the effects, so limit your intake. A relaxed blood vessel means lower blood pressure, slower heart rate, and greater ability to relax in general.

7. A 4-OZ GLASS OF UNSWEETENED CHERRY JUICE
Cherry juice has serotonin-inducing carbohydrates, which will help relax you. Down the cherry juice an hour before bedtime, in case you feel a small jolt of energy from the sugar. There's not enough to keep you up all night or destabilize your blood sugar levels.

8. RED BELL PEPPERS
Researchers at the University of Alabama fed rats 200 milligrams of vitamin C twice a day and found that it nearly stopped the secretion of cortisol, a hormone released in your body when you're stressed. Calorie for calorie, red bell peppers gives you more vitamin C than any other fruit or vegetable.

Sleepy Me

2009-09-24T20:48:00.000-07:00

I'm so sleepy that I keep on yawning.

It's been a week now that I'm always sleepy, coz I always wake up early for me to be able to go to the office around 7am, yup going to office at 7am is already early for me.

So, why do I work so early? Simply because me and my relatives have night outs, we dined and go shopping after my work. While my Uncle is still here in the Philippines.

So therefore I lack sleep. .....ZZZzzzzz...

Competitive Landscape Analysis

2009-09-16T08:31:00.000-07:00

This Competitive Landscape Analysis new task is making me stress, why? Coz I don’t know how to do it…I maybe in PPC (Pay Per Click) Department but it doesn’t mean that I already knew everything about PPC especially if you have been given a new task you haven’t done before.

I asked my US manager on how to go about it but we weren’t able to have our telecom since there was a problem in our server. So I have to wait for tomorrow again.

Oh, did I say that the deadline is by Friday?

Just Wanna Close my Eyes...

2009-09-10T23:43:00.000-07:00

Oh my, oh my.

I’m so sleepy right now, just wanna close my eyes and let my dream carry me into a land of fantasy…but too bad I can’t do that.

Once I close my eyes and falls into a deep sleep.

Boom! I will be suspended for 3 days! Not just me but also those people who are close to me, meaning my seatmate left and right. Our office just come-up with this new policy:

· Automatic 3-day suspension for the person caught sleeping in cubes.

· Automatic 1-day suspensions for the people directly seated to the right and left of the person caught sleeping.

Huhuhu...GladyGirl just wanna sleep...

So many Things to DO

2009-08-27T01:10:00.000-07:00

Yes, that’s right.

Right now I have so many things to do, from work, to personal life as well.

First
I have 3 pending task at hand since we have to prioritize this project “search not found result” and this kind of have 1514 search terms to look at Google and in our own account. For me to be able to do that I have to download and combine our 3 Google Adwords Account for a specific site and it’s about hundred thousand! Oh boy, it’s a lot of work to do.

Second
This searching process for everything down to designs makes my head ache.

I wish its Saturday already so I can go home and have a wonderful weekend. ;)

2009-08-20T23:40:00.000-07:00

Your Sleeping Position Says You Need Adventure

You are confident and ready to tackle life.
You are pretty vain and happy with your physical appearance.
You are born to be the center of attention, and you're unhappy on the sidelines.
You're always up for trying something new - in and out of bed!

If you don't get enough sleep, you: Look like hell

It's hard to sleep next to you because: You toss and turn all night --- this one I simply don't believe this.lol...I'm telling the truth...

Rolls-Royce World's Most Expensive Car

2009-08-19T19:26:00.000-07:00

One-of-a-kind: The 1934 Phantom II 40/50 HP Continental 'All-Weather Convertible' Rolls-Royce is expected to fetch £8.5 million at auction. Built in 1934 for an Indian Maharaja and named the 'Star of India' is set to become the world's most expensive car.

The Star will be offered up for bids on September 15th.

When sold the 1934 Phantom II 40/50 HP Continental 'All-Weather Convertible' is expected to eclipse the sale of a 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa that sold at auction in May for £7.2 million.

One of the Star's unique features is extra headlights that track the steering wheel and therefore follow the road.

This technology was a forerunner of today's 'adaptive-curve lights' found on modern saloon cars such as BMWs and Mercedes.

Rolls-Royce collector Hans-Gunther Zach is accepting bids on 24 other rare Rolls-Royces and three Bentleys including a 1926 Rolls-Royce 40/50 HP Phantom I Open Tourer, known as the 'Aluminium Sculpture' because of its natural aluminium body and chassis.

Also in the auction is a Phantom II Cabriolet 'Hunting Car' built for the India's Maharajah of Rewa.

Designed to hunt India's tigers, the 'Hunting Car' has a specially designed gun rack built into the chassis.

Had a Heart Attack? Eat CHOCOLATE

2009-08-15T03:06:00.001-07:00

Heart attack survivors who snack on chocolate at least twice a week could greatly reduce their risk of dying from coronary disease, according to research.

A Swedish study shows victims who eat chocolate regularly are nearly 70 per cent less likely to die from cardiac problems than those who rarely eat it.

Even a weekly chocolate treat can help, almost halving the risk of death from heart problems.

The findings, published in the Journal of Internal Medicine, are the latest in a long line of studies highlighting the health benefits of chocolate, especially dark chocolate.

Every year, around 270,000 people in Britain suffer a heart attack, and coronary disease remains Britain's biggest killer.

'Dark chocolate does contain antioxidants, but we can all get the beneficial effects of anti-oxidants by eating plenty of fruit and vegetables and should keep chocolate as an occasional treat in a healthy, balanced diet.'

So I guess I should be thankful to Mr. D since he always gives me chocolates, as well as dark CHOCOLATES especially when he comes from abroad.

Thank you Mr. D!

Yahoo Ad Template

2009-08-14T03:40:00.000-07:00

I made a post regarding Ads Template that I was having a hard time doing the template for Yahoo, the 1st time I did a template for YSM, I don’t really know where to start and what worst, after uploading the YSM template into our Yahoo account there were errors needed to be fixed and I don’t even know how to fixed them.

Now, I can honestly say that I already know how to make the Yahoo Ad Template, hmmm…perfectly, with no errors. Now, there’s no hard time doing the Google, MSN and of course, the Yahoo Ad Template.

Practice makes perfect.;)

2009-08-13T18:00:00.000-07:00

Yes, my blog now have its PR again!

After deciding to have a blog, this blog of mine easily got its PR1, but after relocating here in Manila my blog lost its PR since I wasn’t able to update it regularly. But now, I was totally amazed when I saw PR on my blog. I thought that it was just a mistake and happen that I opened other site that have a PR, so I checked it again and see that my blog do really have a PR 2!

Oh, I’m just too happy knowing that even if I wasn’t updating my blog on a regular basis my PR is back… Thank you so much Google for bringing my Page Rank back, Page Rank 2 to be exact! Google your simply the best!

Ads Template

2009-08-07T04:55:00.000-07:00

I was doing this ad template for MSN and Yahoo since last night and I thought that everything is okay. But after uploading the Yahoo template to our ysm account there was still an error, my every helpful officemate and an excel file guru, Dior, helped me revised the file and everything seem good but after uploading the template again at YSM, I could still see those errors, wahhh.. This ysm template really gives me a headache.

Well, this is my first time to do the MSN and Yahoo template that’s why I’m not that very familiar with it aside from the fact that Yahoo template is quite difficult and complicated compared to MSN and Google templates. I’m more familiar with Google template well, aside from that fact that it is quite simple compares to Yahoo template. While MSN template is also easy for me, it’s not really complicated.

Right now, I hate this Yahoo template.

I Have Fallen in Love (with the Same Woman Three Times)

2009-08-04T00:36:00.000-07:00

I Have Fallen in Love (with the Same Woman Three Times)

Lyrics by: Benigno “Ninoy” Servillano Aquino, Jr.
Music by: Jose Mari Chan

I have fallen in love

With the same woman three times;

In a day spanning 19 years

Of tearful joys and joyful tears.

I loved her first when she was young,

enchanting and vibrant, eternally new.

She was brilliant, fragrant,

and cool as the morning dew.

I fell in love with her the second time;

When first she bore her child and mine

always by my side, the source of my strength,

helping to turn the tide.

But there were candles to burn

the world was my concern;

while our home was her domain,

and the people were mine

while the children were hers to maintain;

So it was in those eighteen years and a day,

till I was detained; forced in prison to stay.

Suddenly she’s our sole support;

source of comfort,

our wellspring of Hope,

on her shoulders felt the burden of Life.

I fell in love again,

with the same woman the third time.

Looming from the battle,

her courage will never fade.

Amidst the hardships she has remained,

undaunted and unafraid.

She is calm and composed,

she is God’s lovely maid.

The first time I hear this song, I totally fell in love with it, very touching. You could really feel the love and respect he had for his wife.

This song that was written as a poem by the late Ninoy Aquino for his wife Cory Aquino only shows how much Ninoy love, adore and respect the only woman he loved. Jose Mari Chan included it in his album, Constant Change. But the title was changed to “I Have Fallen In Love with the Same Woman Thrice” after it was turned into a song.

2009-07-30T08:00:00.000-07:00

Goodbye for a while now…but just for a while.

Don’t worry; I will take good care of everything.

See you next year and when your home, everything is final.

But there’s one thing I’m so sure,

I’m missing YOU now.

World Leaders Amazing Homes

2009-07-10T22:46:00.000-07:00

The Huffington Post conducted a poll of which World Leaders have the most Amazing Homes.

The ruling prince of Liechtenstein lives in Vaduz Castle, nestled beautifully into the Alps.

The Princes Palace in Monaco is set on a rocky hillside overlooking the dramatic coast.

The residence of Iceland's President is pictured here alongside a chapel and the official meeting house, and is situated just outside the capital Reykjavik.

Palacio da Alvorada, is home to the Brazilian President.

The White House has been the residence of US Presidents since John Adams took office in the 18th century

The Elysee Palace in Paris is currently home to President Nicolas Sarkozy.

The Grand Kremlin Palace, is the official ceremonial residence of Russian President Medvedev.

Kantei, is the official residence of the Prime Minister of Japan.

Home to the Pope, Vatican City offers an enormous array of art and architecture - and all within a manageable walking distance.

10 Downing Street, London, where the British Prime Minister resides.

The first five pictures were the current top five of the most amazing homes of World Leaders. Personally I would also chose the current top 1, the Vaduz Castle, although all of them are truly amazing and beautiful.

By the way can I live with them?

In my dreams…

Endurance Athletes

2009-06-25T17:24:00.000-07:00

Endurance training and racing requires quite a commitment from athletes ... the commitment is for time and money ... they put up with pain, they eat for the event and buy supplements that cost a bundle ... their equipment is specialized to their events (shoes, high performance clothing, bikes, skis, wet suit, heart monitor, exercise equipment, etc., etc.) Some of the athletes are in the professional ranks, but most are age-groupers. Why do the age-groupers do it?

I'm Going Home...

2009-06-10T23:24:00.000-07:00

Yes, I’m going home on Friday and it’s a long day vacation for me since Friday, June 12 is also Independence Day. Meaning its holiday so no work! I’ve been waiting for this for so long since I really miss home, my family and Mr. D. :)

Aside for a long vacation (yes its 5 days so it’s already long for me) the reason why I’m going home is because I’m going to celebrate my birthday on Monday, June 15. Oh boy, I’m getting old.

What Your Hair Says About You!

2009-06-05T04:44:00.000-07:00

I always admire women with beautiful hair; I even remember when I was in high school wherein I tried lots of shampoo just to make my hair beautiful. Now I'm planning on going to the saloon to have a hair cut to make my hair more attractive and beautiful.

When you know it's time to change your style, we bet it's because of how you're feeling ... and don't tell me that that the shaved look in the military doesn't have as much or more to do with fitting in, and it does with functionality. How important is our hair? Do a search for 'hair' in Bing.com (Microsoft's new search engine) and you'll be loaded with 249 million pages ... search for 'shoes' and you'll only get 152 million pages ... it ain't scientific, but it sure is suggestive.

OT at the Office

2009-06-05T03:36:00.000-07:00

Still here at the office waiting for our site to go online, I don’t know if I should be happy staying here longer since I’m filing it for an OT. Every time our site goes offline we have to pause all of our campaign for the said site. But I’m getting bored already since I thought that it will online by 5pm. But it’s past six o’clock in the evening and still its offline. I wanna go home now.

Plus the fact that the weather has been very unpredictable, last night when I go home it rained so hard that my pants were so wet and that my umbrella almost blew by the strong wind. I really don’t like it when it rains so hard; just don’t like the idea of getting my feet wet because of rain.

So bored that I can’t even browse the sites that I like, since we have “barracuda” it’s a web filter that blocked unrelated sites, whew life…

Hating this site...

2009-06-05T02:29:00.000-07:00

I hate the new and upgraded site of one of our many sites. I like the previous site we have, its more users friendly you can easily see and find what you are looking for. Before the upgrade year, make, and model were “visible” on the landing page and product info – making sure that the part is really for a particular make/model or year. But now, you can only see them only if you type the specific year, make and model.

I’m generating new keywords for that site for our PPC (Pay-Per Click) campaign. So now I’m having difficulty finishing it. Before if you search for a specific product you can actually see it but now, now if you search for a certain product those years, makes and models where gone. How much more those customers looking for it? Most customers are looking only for a maximum keyword and yet it directs you to a page or product wherein you cannot see what you’re looking for, so it’s useless especially in PPC and in our campaign. Waste of time and energy. Really hate it!!!
