Men are blind

I found hubby’s Patek Gondolo watch whilst looking for a document just now. He claims he couldnt find it, but it’s just right underneath the document he requested for. Men, where are their eyes. They never seem to find anything even if they are placed right in front of them. They will only scan the place and say they cant find it. Nope, it never occurs to them to lift or move some things around to look for an item. All they do is whine and get the wife to look for it. If not, it’ll become their excuse to buy a new one. Damn, wonder what he’ll do if he cant find me one day? Get a new wife?

Looking for a gps fleet tracking device?

I really cant stand the sight of bright light. Really hurts my eyes a lot. I heard someone honking at the gate and told hubby to go take a look and see who it is. It’s the courier guy. Hubby’s gps fleet tracking device has arrived. I wonder where he’s going to install it. Our car’s been sent for spray painting. I wanted a different color but the says the paper work at the Road & Transport department is a real hassle. Okay, if i cant get the color that i want, then i’ll go buy myself a new car in my choice of color next time.

Eye infection

My eyes hurt now. I’m having some kinda eye infection but no idea what it is. It’s crusty when i get up in the morning and hurts when i try to open my eyes. I’m using eye drops to soften the crust. It’s swollen at the bottom and the whole eye is red too. I think my other will get it too if i’m not careful.

It may be conjunctivitis, i dont know. Just hope i dont give it to my kids. If conjunctivitis can make my eye feel so uncomfortable, i sure dont want my kids to suffer the same way i did. I’ll make a trip to the nearby pharmacy and ask the pharmacist if she has any treatment for eye infection or not. Hope my eye infection clears soon.

Patio furniture

I was just telling hubby if only we have some nice patio furniture outside the house, we can then relax there in the evening as we watch our kids play in the garden. We have such a large garden and it’ll be waste if we dont relax there more often. Not everyone lives in house with a large garden, you know.

He told me to check out those patio furniture from cozydays dot com and if i see any that i like, i can buy some back. Would you like to buy patio furniture too? If you do, you may want to check the site out too. They have so many designs there for you to choose from. I’m sure you can find a set that you like. I’m off to buy a set of patio furniture now. Ciao!!!

Hazy skies watery eyes

It really doesnt take much for me to know that the stupid haze is back. The moment my eyes starts to sting, i know for sure air quality is declining. I thought it’s my new air-cond that’s causing my eyes to turn dry and sting. But no, it’s the haze. My kids are also suffering as the haze is also causing them to blink their eyes more than usual.

I bought eye drops and had to coax them to let me drip some into their eyes for quick relief. It’s only a short-term solution, but definitely better than seeing them blink non-stop. As for me, i changed to a new pair of contact lens and only wear them if i go out. If not, i prefer to wear my glasses.

And yes, i think it’s also time i buy a humidifier back and have it turned on all day long inside my room. The dry air is killing both my eyes and my skin suffers too. I do have a water-based air purifier running all day long now. It does help but still, a humidifier is much better. Do you have a humidifier inside your bedroom?

Information on adjustable beds

My neighbor’s dad, who’s a diabetic, found it hard to get on and off his bed these last few weeks. He’s getting weaker and claims that his bed is too high. My neighbor now wants to buy him one of those adjustable beds and asked me where she can get one. I understand how difficult it can be for the old man.

Anyway, i told her she can get him one from the nearby medical supplies shop. I also told her she can always check out the various types of adjustable beds available before she decides on which is the right one for her dad. If you happen to know of anyone who’s looking for more information on adjustable beds, the link i provided here will be of help. Check it out.

What are you going to buy for dad this Father’s Day?

My sis was over this evening. She brought with her some gifts for the kids and also something for me. My brother-in-law just came back from a business trip to Italy. Isnt he thoughtful. My sis took leave from her company to accompany him there. She’s never been to Italy before. It’s her first time there and she told me that i must go there if i ever get the chance, lol. I think that’s pretty remote for the time being as my kids are still so small. I dont think they’ll enjoy it much. I was going through the photo albums she brought with her when i saw the watch my brother-in-law was wearing. Sis told me it’s a new Roles, WOW.

I told her Father’s Day is just next month and we still havent come up with what to buy for him this year. I suggested getting him a watch or maybe new golf bags and she said a watch is fine. I found a website selling watches and asked hubby to help me choose one for my dad. Since both my sis and i will be buying this together, money is not the issue here. Hubby says to get dad a sporty looking one since he doesnt have one like that. I agree with him. Well, if you havent bought your dad a gift for Father’s Day, you may want to check out the site too. Do wait till the last minute to buy him a gift, ya.

Acne treatment advice

Over the years, i found that the best acne treatment is to drink lots of water. Yes, flush out all the toxins within. Dont forget a good diet of lots of organic fruits and vegetables is of utmost importance too. Sleep as early as you can. If possible, take a nap in the afternoon. Me, i need a minimum of 8 hours of uninterrupted rest in order to function properly during the day.

I notice that my skin is much better after a week good sleep. I used to sprout lots of zits last year as i hardly get to sleep much. I work through the night and only sleep a few short hours each night. Very bad for health in the long run. I had no choice then. Things have changed and i get to sleep more now. I should really keep at it and eat lots of good food to stay zits free.

Ten good reasons to meditate

Have you always wanted to know why it’s beneficial to meditate. Meditation is the practice of lowering one’s brain frequency from a waking Beta say to a slower Alpha say. Just as a heart beats a certain number of beats per minute, the brain pulses a certain amount of brainwaves per second. In the Beta waking say, brainwaves vary from 15 to 40 cycles per second. In the Alpha say, brainwaves vary from 9 to 14 cycles per second.

Beta is the normal say for waking thoughts and daily activities including speaking, working, and shopping. Beta is the state most people are in when in a working mode. Alpha is the slower state where an individual can reflect, meditate or ponder thoughts.

The following are 10 key benefits to daily meditation:

• Oneness with God and creation
• Stress reduction and decreased anxiety
• Reduces the noise and chatter of our waking minds
• Pain reduction and management
• Supports the immune system
• Reduces blood pressure
• Improved memory and ability to learn
• Feelings of peace, calmness and an awareness of self
• Improves moodiness and irritability
• Feelings of rejuvenation

This deeper, richer, calming experience has a profound effect on body, mind and spirit. Our minds become clearer; the noise and chatter in our minds fades away. In its place come feelings of peace, calmness and a sense of awareness. We feel lighter, younger and rejuvenated. Moods brighten and irritability is eliminated paving the way for clearer thoughts, improved memory, insightfulness and creativity.

The ability to relax and calm our minds has its physical benefits as well.

As our minds our soothed, physical pain and tension are reduced or eliminated. Chronic pain including severe headaches can be completely negated. Our circulatory, cardiovascular and immune systems operate more efficiently.

The benefits of meditation are vast. In a world of daily stress and anxiety, meditation paves the way for a healthy mind, body and spirit. For healthy living, practice meditation daily.
