On a Quest.

A never ending quest. I think 90% of most people want to lose weight, all for the different reasons. However, 90% of those people also lack the discipline, motivation and drive to keep through the mission to lose. So most people to resort the desperate and most popular choice - diet pills. Many companies stake claims that theirs are the best diet pills but the key here is - no diet pill is effective if it's going to be in the long-term. One needs to have a lifestyle change.

Friday Fill-ins.

1. All children alarm their parents, if only because you are forever expecting them to be behaved and just sitting in one corner.

2. Show me a good loser and I will show you a true winner.

3. A quiet uninterrupted me time is like eating an entire box of chocolate liqueurs at one time.

4. Too bad that all the people who know how to run the country are busy stealing money and pointing fingers to other people.

5. I have yet to hear a man ask for advice on how to combine love and career.

6. It is impossible to think of any good meal, no matter how plain or elegant, without salt and spices in it.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to a great visit to my parent’s place, tomorrow my plans include scrapping deadlines all day and Sunday, I want to go to mass and give thanks that this week is almost over! I for sure will be lighting a candle of thanks!

Chocolates will be the death of me.

I have been trying to maximize my time working lately so that means spending many sleepless night waiting for job offers or just writing and doing page layouts. I have never been this driven before so I really hope and pray it stays. There is a downside to this though and that is staying glued to my chair all day and all night without moving, and yep, eating sweets and drinking caffeine to help me keep awake. Liporexall is an effective pill right? Maybe I should get one after I get my big paycheck.

Guiding the Youth

My dad just came back from holding a spiritual retreat at a drug rehab center for teenagers. He told us how shocked he was to find out that most of the youth there started taking drugs at a very young age – as early as 9 or 10 years old! That’s how old my son is right now, and after learning about that, it made me want to shelter him as much as possible from things like this. The  youth of today needs to have as much diversion from the temptation of drugs, sex and alcohol. The libraries need to be more appealing, there should be more activities that foster unity and individuality at the same time at school. There should be communication between parents and teachers, and most importantly, there should be a going back to the roots – building a strong foundation for the family.

Strive Hard to Lose.

And gain it all away again anyway! That’s what my friend has been ranting to me when I got to talk to her last night. She lost 15 lbs to get married and only after a month, she gained it all back and then some. Married life has been suiting her really well. She has slacked on getting some exercise so she is thinking if she would resort to diet pills like lipo 6 black – Im not sure of this though. Diet pills have side effects and she should consult her doctor first.

Things to-do tomorrow

I’m foreseeing a day without internet tomorrow so I better make sure I download and copy all project instructions before I go offline today. I have been glued to my chair in front of my laptop for the past three days and it has been bad for my back, and my health. The best diet pill will never work for me if I don’t get moving.

Amen? Yes.

So here is my to-do list:
1. Finish client’s album.

2. Make sure the son has everything he needs at school. Cover books.

3. Make new budget excel sheet.

4. Map out menu, and grocery monthly list.

5. Make schedule for maid.

Paintball Guns

It turns out the the planet eclipse ego paintball guns brand is the brand of choice of my former officemates. They got it from ZephyrPaintball.com. It has Paintball Gear with low prices and free shipping on paintball guns, paintball goggles, hoppers and paintball starter packages. Zephyr Sports was founded in 2003 as an internet retailer focusing on the sport of paintball.

They carry a complete line of paintball guns, paintball goggles, playing and casual apparel, jerseys, paintballs, paintball field gear and accessories for the sport. Dye, Invert, Kingman Spyder, Tippmann, PMI, Empire, Zap, Nelson, Maddog Designz, Proto, Pure Energy, Smart Parts, WDP Angel, and Worrgames!

My former officemates have been doing every week and instead of renting out paintball uniforms, accessories and equipment like what most do, they have bought their own because it will be cheaper in the long run.

Paintball Accessories

I kept in touch with former officemates yesterday and found out most of them have been trying to keep me fit because the company’s annual physical examination results were out and most of them were told to modify their lifestyle – less food, less booze, more exercise. So they discovered paintball. They say it is the new badminton, only the more exciting because it is basically a war game. The planet eclipse ego war guns are the most popular.ZephyrPaintball.com has Paintball Gear with low prices and free shipping on paintball guns, paintball goggles, hoppers and paintball starter packages. Zephyr Sports was founded in 2003 as an internet retailer focusing on the sport of paintball.
