Red is Marose

After long years of not buying cosmo or fhm magazine, last week I asked my husband to buy this:

I just need to have this issue because Angel is in the cover. Haha. Can’t miss it.

I can’t help it. When I saw the google logo just now, I immediately printed the screen and cut the logo to be uploaded here.

I remember playing this game. It was fun eating all those dots while avoiding to be eaten by those colored enemies. And when pacman eats the big dots these enemies would ran so fast. hahaha.

After finishing a program at one of the residential drug and alcohol treatment centers, you may be wondering if you can really stay clean now that you’ve left. If you’re truly dedicated to staying clean, it is possible to be successful, but it will take a lot of hard work and dedication. But most importantly, it will take time.

You might compare it to losing someone you love to death. When the person first dies, it’s hard to imagine life without that person, but as time goes on, it becomes easier and easier. It’s the same with drugs and alcohol, and with every day that passes, the temptation will be less pronounced. Here are some tips to staying clean now that you’re back in the real world:

Get the Support of Friends and Family

The first thing you should do is inform friends and family that you plan to stay clean. They will help be a support to you as you make the transition. Also inform them that you do not want to be around drugs or alcohol. If your vice is alcohol, don’t keep it in your house and don’t go out with friends who plan on drinking. If they are truly your friends, they would not want to put you in a situation that would possibly cause you to relapse.

See Your Counselor Regularly

When you return home, you will be put with a counselor who can help you prevent a relapse. Talking with a counselor about what you’re feeling and what cravings you’re having will help. Your counselor can help you work through strategies you can use if you are feeling tempted by your vice. That advice will be invaluable as you work through your addiction.

Most importantly, the best advice out there is to never give up. You’re worth the effort, so never stop trying!

I have been working since I was 17 years old.  Yes, that time and I enjoyed working and meeting new friends.  I have never stopped working since that age, well, maybe except for about two weeks to one month when my contract would end and another time when I took a leave for almost two months because I gave birth. Working would be fun if you have close friends that’s why I really enjoyed my first job as a service crew at Jollibee because I met my best friends there.  The picture below was taken last February when we had our gimik after long, long years. The girl wearing blue is Jack, the girl beside me is Ana, and they are my best friends. Oh, I am the one wearing strips blouse.  Jim and Rean, the inseparable couple, the guy in between my best friends is Ron and the guy beside me is Jeff. Actually, there are a lot of people who wasn’t able to come for this reunion.

Right now, I am working in a not so popular call center, the picture below are my office mates.  The girl beside me is Janice, she is now in another company, next is Ms. Lanie, our accounting head, and still here with me, and last is Mai, a young stay at home mom to two beautiful daughters right now. I am a godmother to her youngest daughter, Chloe.

If you love shopping online then you’ve probably heard of Overstock.com. Overstock has just about any item you would ever want to look for from mattress toppers and pillows to baby furniture and strollers. You can get jewelry, kitchen items, sheets, bed frames, iPods, books, and more. There is a wide selection of items that have been overstocked.

Just by shopping on Overstock.com you’ll save money. Each item has been reduced from the original price (of comparable models) down to as much as 80% (depending on the item). And if you’re not sure of what to buy, there are reviews from other users who have bought the item. You can see from their reviews what other buyers liked, disliked, and whether the item lasted over time. They’ll even alert you if the item is about to be sold out. Because many items are leftovers from other stores, sometimes there is a limited supply and when the item is sold out, it’s sold out. So if you’re interested in an item and it has a high risk of selling out, act fast!

Brands sold by Overstock include Disney, Dyson, Serta, Corelle, and HP. So the next time you’re in the market for a product, check out Overstock.com first. And if you want to save even more money, look for an Overstock promo code. These codes, also referred to as coupon codes, can give you additional deals when you check out. Some codes are good for a percentage off your purchase; others are for a dollar amount off or free shipping (which can get expensive if you buy furniture). And if you’re planning on buying from Overstock anyway, it wouldn’t hurt to see if you could save even more.

So the next time you’re in the market for something and plan on buying online, check out Overstock.com. You’ll save a bundle — especially if you use a promo code along with your purchase.

Me and my husband were canvassing yesterday for a nice and durable washing machine. I am happy and excited because we will be able to buy washing machine after six months of doing hand washing. Some of the money came from my earnings online and contest prizes. Some of it will be charge to card for six months zero interest and hopefully I can earn enough money to pay for it monthly. haha.

Now, I am torn between these two washing machine:
