My Uncle Walt got his Visa reward card yesterday. He was happy because he was really waiting for it and he told the mailman about it. In our area, we are lucky to have our mailman. He’s been our mailman for two decades now, if I am not mistaken. He knows what should be prioritized and if it’s unsafe to leave the mail unattended. A couple of times we had very important mails coming in and he was there to deliver it safely.

I don’t think all mailmen are like him. Every holidays, the whole community would give him gifts and we really show him how much we appreciate him and his honest work.

My cousin told me that she would introduce a good-looking guy to me. Let me tell you something: my cousins are worried that I might grow old alone. Since I am 30-something already, they want me to find someone I could be with. I just let them. If the guy’s for me, then so be it. If not, it’s fine with me.

So back to the guy… He was introduced to me last weekend. He would have been really good-looking after he remove acne scars on his face. It distracts from his good looks! But my cousin was right. Acne scar aside, he was tall, dark and handsome.

Too bad he was not meant to me.

I was asked by a friend if I know the fastest way to burn fat. I said I don’t. But that there are products out in the market that offers exactly that. The product should always be aided by exercise and diet, of course. You can’t just take a diet product and then binge on food after. That can’t be done!

I remember there’s someone I know who was angry with a diet product she took because according to her, she’s not losing weight. When she detailed her daily routine, that’s when she said that she’s eating more than usual! And that she’s not even exercising. So how could she lose weight?

Exercise, proper diet and the product that will be fast in burning fat. Now that’s a lethal combination!

Women today are luckier compared to the older generation. Before, when you had acne, your option was just to wash your face with soap and water and put as much powder on it as possible when you go out of the house. These days, there’s the best acne treatment you can avail of. There are products you can use. There are experts you can consult with.

This generation is just luckier in terms of options in making oneself more beautiful. There were no beauty products before and if there were some, it was surely extremely expensive. So we should be thankful there are options for us women now. Right?

Ron went back to his hometown expecting to see the same lackluster place that he left some eight or so years ago. He was in for a surprise! The place looks like a metropolitan center already. There are high-rise residential places, steel buildings, and a sprinkling of new commercial establishments around. You wouldn’t even know that more than eight years ago, the place looks deserted and miserable.

Ron is thinking of staying. He is excited with the place and the possibilities it now offers. I do think that besides the excitement and possibilities he’s talking about, it still boils down to Ron not being able to take out his hometown in himself. It’s still there and just waiting to be awakened once more.

I am a couch lover. I just love those comfy modern couches I see on print and in person. My sister and I went to a home department store a few weeks ago and I saw a couch that spoke to me directly. I am still saving up for it and it’s still there on display. Soon, I will be owning it and marking it with my own stamp, my big butt! Ha-ha!

Seriously, I love to own that couch. I can see myself sitting on it, tapping on my laptop keyboard and just spending the night on it working.

She is one of those women who love to ask for gifts from their partners. She already has a dozen watches she can choose from but she still asked for a Panerai from her boyfriend. She also asked for shopping money so she can go out with friends later to shop for clothes and shoes. Her boyfriend also gave her a designer bag on their last out of town trip to celebrate their anniversary.

I don’t think it’s healthy anymore, giving in to her every whim. By the time her boyfriend realizes what a leech she is, she’ll be gone with most of his savings already. Poor guy.

I visited a friend the other day. I didn’t know how small her studio type apartment was until I saw it with my own two eyes. It was small! It can only fit a small sofa bed, some bean bags on the floor and tv stands she uses as a dining table, laptop table, and side table all in one.

But it’s cute and my friend did justice to the little space she has. I love the coziness of the space. It also doesn’t feel cramped because she opted to use space savers instead of the usual home items. I wish I can do the same in my bedroom.

Lisa is a Texas Truck accident lawyer and she’s helped a lot of truck accident victims already. She’s done so much for a lot of people. In some cases, she’s even offered her legal services for free. She knows when to stop fighting a losing battle and will tell her client honestly what she think will happen to the case presented to her. She will tell them when to push forward or accept a settlement.

I really admire women who go out of their way to help those in need. A woman like Lisa who can just turn her back on some of these people who can’t afford her services but doesn’t do it because she wants to be of help to them.

It’s not easy getting legitimate life insurance leads. But to make sure that she will be bringing home more than enough for her kids every 15th and 30th, Sandra entered the job of an insurance agent as well. She is now juggling three jobs at the same time. She’s working as a teller for a local bank, working part-time as a bookkeeper for two small companies, and an insurance agent during the weekends.

What a remarkable woman! If only all mothers are like her, the world will probably be a better place. I just wish her kids appreciate all the hard work she’s putting in for them.

I hate seeing disabled persons struggling to make a living. They deserve to be treated like normal people but they also need to be treated with consideration. In my opinion, they should be given work fit for them. The government should be looking after them so that when they are really not fit to work anymore, there are disability insurance they can get and use to live a comfortable life.

Allsup knows how hard it is to be disabled and not be given what’s due them. What they do is help these persons get the benefits they need for their personal use. They managed to help thousands of disabled persons already and they plan to help as many more disabled persons as they can.

The ever generous Ollie gave her nephews and nieces MP3 players each. She’s known in her family as the giver and the one they can turn to during tough times. She’s decided to spend her life as a single woman. Anyway, she knows that she has her family by her side always.

But she’s not going to impose herself to them when the time comes she’s no longer capable of taking care of herself. She already has a plan when that time comes. She also has more than enough savings should she need to spend on medical expenses.

What a great woman!

I should put scales around the house as a remind for me and my sister that we are on a diet. If I don’t do something, we will end up not achieving our goal. My sister and I both want to lose as much weight as possible before the year ends. Not only for events we’re both attending, weddings, but also for health reasons. We are both not getting any younger. I am turning 32 this August while she turned 28 last March. We ought to think more of our health, especially with our family history of diabetes and heart problems.

I keep promising myself to cut down on my rice intake but I always renege on that promise. It’s just so hard! I wish I have the control others have.

Have you heard about Cher’s daughter Chastity Bono who is now in breeches and called Chaz instead? I admire him for coming out and telling the world of her sexual preference. It’s not easy, I am sure of it. Even though we now living in the modern world, there are those who are still not open to the idea of what Chaz did.

The then Chastity Sun is now Chaz Salvatore.

When you look at him now, you wouldn’t believe that he was once a woman!

I used to frown a lot. In fact, I still do it unconsciously especially when I am worrying about something. I guess I got it from my dad. He frowns a lot. You have to get his attention for him to smooth his facial expression. My siblings got the same habit from him, too. I always remind them to stop the habit because we might end up needing the best wrinkle cream sooner than later if we don’t.

I also tell my dad and my siblings to always maintain a positive outlook, too. I think that worrying, thinking negatively, and frowning a lot can hasten our aging. Imagine looking old and wrinkled in your early 30’s!

I don’t want that to happen!
