Before, hubby used to go biking almost everyday either before or after office hours but not anymore recently. What with the oozing heat wave temperature reaching 100+ degrees lately!

Extremely hot and humid climate is a global environmental problem which everyone must be aware of. The normal core body temperature of an adult human being is stated to be only 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit or 37 degrees Celsius- temperature. These days, the temperature reaches over 100 degrees in the mid day. For those of us who are gearing for outdoor activities like biking, running or jogging, horseback-riding, etc. , remember always to take the weather conditions into account by  staying well-hydrated during the activity.  Dress lightly because loose-fitting clothes will help your body breathe and cool itself naturally. Light-colored ones reflect the sun from the skin  while dark ones absorb the sunlight and the heat.

I have been browsing for the finest selection of english show shirts for ladies. I need those that reflect not only fashion but also unparalleled maximum comfort. Synthetic fabric may cost more over the cottons but  wicks moisture quickly thus cooling the skin rapidly.

So guys, let us always be careful with ourselves. Brutal heat which is beyond the normal level can lead to brain damage and failure of our body’s physiological activities.

Staying in a five-star hotel, in one of its coolest rooms  in the highest floor level is so fabulous and exciting. What with the many great amenities we can avail of.

Among others, I love so much the complimentary buffet-style breakfast we had every morning wherein lots of different varieties of foods and drinks are available to choose from.  Every time I was seated inside the dining area, I could feel the cool ambiance created by the rushing of water in the man-made waterfalls outside the hotel.

How I wish I could shop for large floor fountains to be mounted also in the rear area of my house. Oopps, and that’s only in my dreams, lol.

To my dearest Tita Doc Michelle, words are not enough to express my thanks, my great appreciation- for you for the gift of the “4-day stay in the 5-star hotel” you’ve given me, my husband and my daughter. May the good Lord bless you more!

PCOS health status – poor !

by Dens on May 19, 2013

The latest automated election in some areas was marred by defective PCOS  (Precinct Optical Scan) machines, power outrages and other election-related problems .

It was not easy being a volunteer poll worker. In the area where I was assigned, there was only one  technician who was  available to troubleshoot the three machines in our precincts. One machine did not function despite his efforts to fix it and we just lent ours after we were through with it before midnight.  Due to the lack of signal in our area, the transmissions of the results were greatly delayed. But we are glad that we were provided free food and drinks that were placed on top of a burlap table runner from burlap-tablecloth.com which we can get anytime.

(If only the  PCOS machines are like my computer, I may have helped out in the speedy transmission of data. In my computer, whenever the PC expert advises to perform any task like having a registry cleaner, there are  easy tips and practical advices available to follow so that I can perform the procedure right away ; therefore, I can make the most of my PC.)

Despite the many hassles and problems during the voting (which started at 7 o’clock in the morning and ended up at 7 o’clock in the evening) and the counting (which ended at the wee hours in the morning ), I could say that having been  a volunteer worker I feel happy because I have done something good for the country. I just hope that the government will improve all the facilities in the future elections to come and just like in some places, the voters will simply go to computers in polling areas where no watchers or any other poll clerks are needed and the results will be available quickly.

Unlike Christmas and other popular Holidays, Mother’s Day  may not ring a bell to everyone. To many no pompous celebrations will be held on this day  but for sure to all mothers, deep inside their hearts, this is a great time to be remembered and appreciated by our loved ones.

To me, simple text messages to greet me mean so much . I dearly appreciate the following people for remembering me today…

Ali AA….”A flower may fade, the sun may set but a mother like you will never be forgotten. Your name is precious. It will never grow old. It’s engraved in God’s heart in letters of gold…”

Anne AT  …”Mwwwaaahhh:* ..! You just got an early Mother’s Day kiss…Give one back to me if you think I deserve!..”

Novema O…”Blessed Moms Day. GOD BLESS You!”

Deding A…”From a mother to a mother lots of love hoping for the best for us …have a happy mothers day sis….”

Grace AA…”A mother like you will never be forgotten…”

To all others who greeted me through emails and to my children who called me up–thank you so much!

To all Mothers.. especially to my own mother, to my siblings who are all mothers now, to my daughter who is a mother of 2 kids and to my daughter-in-law— HAPPY MOM’S DAY!!!

A Weekend Getaway for Mothers Day

by Dens on May 4, 2013

Mother’s Day is just around the corner! This event which is celebrated during second Sunday of May is a great time to celebrate and to show our appreciation for the greatest person in our life – our Moms.

For this year, why not surprise your mom with something special. No, I’m not talking about flowers, chocolates and mother’s day greeting cards. I’m referring to a weekend of pampering during a weekend getaway trip with your mom – or you may include your dad and the whole family as well.

Don’t let the overwhelming task of planning overwhelm you. You can book cheap hotels and plane tickets (if you needed to travel by air) and check out various activities that you and your mom can do and place that you can visit right in the comfort of your home – online!

Via the internet, you can search for a perfect place to celebrate Mother’s Day. You will know how and where to find for the best travel deals. Whether you’ll book cheap hotels, or budget ones, or opt for a 5-star accommodation, just book online as soon as possible. You can find a wide range of fantastic, cozy and comfortable hotel brands all over. You may choose a hotel near other amenities such as restaurants, malls, national parks or nature trails. (The last time I billeted a hotel, free breakfast was offered until 10 o’clock in the morning but I was frustrated with the complimentary internet access which was only for 3 hours. I really did write in their suggestion box and suggested that a whole-day free internet access is not so hard for the management.)

By giving her a much-needed break and escape from the daily grind, your mom will surely have fun.

Looking forward to a very happy Mom’s Day celebration. Hope this will be the best holiday ever with your Mom! Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers.
