Many people think that it’s selective, but they have to be careful about their physical health. It doesn’t matter which age and gender you are; working out can help improve your physical health and keep you safe from a lot of health issues. That’s actually the reason that more and more people have started working out. </p><p><br />
On the contrary, working out is incomplete without the right clothes. That’s the reason we are talking about <a href="https://www.cosmolle.com/collections/activewear">activewear sets</a> and the best places to purchase them from. Cosmolle is actually a reliable platform to purchase workout clothes and we are sharing the reasons with you. </p><p><br />
<b>• High-Quality Products </b></p><p>To begin with, Cosmolle promises high-quality products, promising value for money. The fabric quality is second to none. To begin with, they have chosen moisture-wicking material, which makes sure you stay dry and moisture-free for a long period of working out. Secondly, the workout clothes have breathability, so there is enough air circulation. It will help regulate the body temperature. <br />
On top of everything, the fabric is durable because it can handle multiple washes. In fact, you can work out and train for your sports activities without worrying about physical activity tearing them down. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.cosmolle.com/collections/special-offer/products/airwear-high-waist-legging" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="401" data-original-width="321" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4wf-aTdEVWTcMpglIOu1s3FNJf-1CRzFo-P5sXIGUwaESJ2sHNX2Vaqx80ff7WGzpv8V92Zbexre80ATfUi4NMeB06gjYKd2um91PcbRI8Jb8CQ9Izsn7zHgEzDzgEywIsnqJAuIIbHMke3or8kxjV1il2nQLqO1C5SCJU8CEJWWvbvgcICFDFdh26II/s320/activewear.jpg" width="256" /></a></div><p>
<b>• Comfort & Fit</b><br />
When it comes to <a href="https://www.cosmolle.com/collections/best-set">yoga outfit sets</a> or activewear clothes, you don’t have to worry about fit and comfort. All the clothes promise a functional and comfortable fit, which ensures zero compromises on your movement. As far as the comfort factor is concerned, the clothes have flat seams, which don’t irritate you at all.
It wouldn’t be wrong to say that Cosmolle has used reinforced stitching, which promises durability. In particular, it keeps chafing at bay. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.cosmolle.com/collections/special-offer/products/airwear-sports-bra-bike-shorts-set" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="612" data-original-width="489" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnSj1ACpYewmdVmD5LVwb2ShFqVLzxta6ZXVhUTTSjXubRU3oJVnGaOVHS70PoHzbupb_9LcBAZ7r1g9QRbsjNrKmei_4PxC4aeWkOAcAg6T5F9E8kAsFvd_BDkdmT2tRwNZRBIYdTAsJ5UkyCqwJex1kbhPrx2eKcX8_8x5YylTMJFH52tY1ujQgIqsI/s320/yogaoutfit.jpg" width="256" /></a></div><p><br />

As usual, fear emerged but I have to be brave to consult because there are more signs and symptoms that I am experiencing.</p><p></p><p>After diarrhea comes constipation with heartburn and acid reflux all together. My doctor adviced me to have a <b>CT Scan of Whole Abdomen with Triple Contrast</b> to have my organs checked which I agreed. She told that the procedure was more affordable at iScan Diagnostic Center in Marikina. I immediately called and inquired at the center and it was P11,000 for the test, but when i paid it only costs <b>P10,750 </b>way cheaper than the hospitals near my area that I have inquired. I know that it will be much cheaper on government hospitals in Manila but it's not practical for me to go that far.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOgycdarWY9dZplnV_JWgA-aCRiIyaVKJBjnxYvRHpx2vSLrLcipiLTsb8vb1tRkUQ2MJk27FktS3OxWB_BoqwwDmcugf6-Mwp29wBarUFfkS1zQoS_k7xhSJoBI_YCISPAMsh2DlFKoPRUzVRkZvEax7ME-cZHawsuW3hEDUmpt2BsS_vFxYM8zq0oDc/s1080/iscan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="966" data-original-width="1080" height="358" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOgycdarWY9dZplnV_JWgA-aCRiIyaVKJBjnxYvRHpx2vSLrLcipiLTsb8vb1tRkUQ2MJk27FktS3OxWB_BoqwwDmcugf6-Mwp29wBarUFfkS1zQoS_k7xhSJoBI_YCISPAMsh2DlFKoPRUzVRkZvEax7ME-cZHawsuW3hEDUmpt2BsS_vFxYM8zq0oDc/w400-h358/iscan.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Anyway, I asked for an appointment and I was scheduled <b>July 6, 2023 8:30 am</b> and here is the procedure that I did one day before my CT Scan.<p></p><p>July 5, 2023 - 10:30 pm - I took 1 tablet of DULCOLAX</p><p></p><p>July 6, 2023 - 3;30 am my stomach feels pain already</p><p>4:40 am - inserted suppository and drank water </p><p>5:00 am - pooped alot.. drank water for hydration (yes it is allowed)</p><p>7:00 am- work diaper just in case and we left the house</p><p>7:30 am - arrived at iScan in Marikina, filled forms.

My eyes are closed most of the times. Not nervous but I'm, anxious.<br /></p><p>- an IV with medicine was injected on my left hand and the rad tech is asking me if I feel pain. I said no, there's just lill discomfort and I can feel the medicine flowing on my veins.</p><p>- inhale -exhale as instructed</p><p>- The procedure is done around 30 mins.</p><p>- After that, I hurried went to the comfort room and there all the water with meds that were injected where flushed out of my stomach.</p><p></p><p>That's it..... procedure is fast and not painful at all. Went home with the CT scan plate and the result was emailed after 2 days but I didn't read it because I was too afraid..I just asked someone to get my printed result at the center.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>RESULT:</b> All of my organs in my abdomen area are normal. Bowel - grossly unremarkable.</p><p>I went back to my internist and showed her the result and she said it's normal. I was relieved but still I'm not satisfied because I feel some bloating, acid reflux and this time constipation.</p><p>With the discomfort in my stomach still there, I decided to consult a GASTROENTEROLOGIST this time. Will blog it later. <br /></p>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07900873073435715448noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512008796356773434.post-59291003409626575032023-06-23T16:56:00.005+08:002023-06-23T20:37:26.048+08:00How I Was Able to Fix my Blog<p> Last 2 days ago, I was about to look for a particular post that I have published few years back here in my blog but to my surprise it was down !!!!

Since my other blog <b><a href="http://www.jennys-corner.com/">A SLICE OF LIFE </a></b>went down too last August 2022, so I thought I'd do or copy what I have done there. It seems that I need to add a subdomain or put www. before my domain. It means that I need to create a subdomain on my blog. Hoping that it will work, I just experimented. I don't know why I came up with the idea or adding a subdomain but hey it works. <br /></p><p>Here's what I did, since my blog works or redirect before without www, I need to add now. </p><p>1. In my blogger settings, PUBLISHING , I clicked the CUSTOM DOMAIN and added www before my domain name; and when I clicked the update button this message appeared. I just followed what it says.

To see them all together for their 10th Anniv. will surely warm my ARMY heart as I already miss them dearly. Apart from that, I'm looking forward with excitement to hear their new song, upcoming personal projects, love messages for us, see the smile on their faces, new photos and other Festa '23 announcements and activities. </p><p>Also, I want them to know that ARMYs will undoubtedly wait for their comeback as OT7.
Nothing beats the music, love, inspiration, kilig and fun that they have given us over the years. It'll be my 3rd Festa and definitely not the last. I maybe 55 but they make me feel young at heart. </p><p>Borahae ARMYs and Happy 10th to our wonderful boys! </p><p>Apobangpo!!

When we’re busy at work or at home, we noticed that time really flies so fast but if we’re idle, a day seems like forever. </p><p>I can still vividly remember the year 2020 wherein the Pandemic crippled us in so many ways. Ahhh…I bet no one can ever forget that year. Every nation seemed frozen in time during lockdowns and it’s an awful sight and memory to even recall. On February 2020, I still managed to travel to UAE mainly to Dubai and Abu Dhabi with friends for a much-needed vacation while COVID-19 virus is creepingly spreading around the world. It was indeed a blessing for we’re still able to come back home safely before the lockdown begins in March. I can’t even imagine myself being stranded in a foreign land during those time so I’m very lucky and grateful. </p><p>
Our national and local government are so strict in implementing rules and guidelines at the onset of the lockdown to the point that we just need to stay home all the time. Buying food and other supplies where only assigned to my brother to lessen the chances of everyone being infected in our family. Those days are trying times for all of us; the news of widespread infection, thousands of deaths each day throughout the world, scarcity of food supplies are shocking and enough for us not to go out if not needed. </p><p>
Our business was forced to close along with other businesses worldwide. Many workers got laid off while some are asked to work on a schedule basis maybe just 2 days in a week or so. Ahhhh.. during those days, our finances are greatly affected
and eventually the flow of income was non-existent that lasted for many months. The savings that we have at the bank served as a saving grace because it kept us survive the everyday living. </p><p>
Those that deeply affected are workers that left with no job and have little or no money to support their families. Local government tried their very best to somewhat fill the needs of the community by giving food and medical supplies for families that have no means to survive anymore. Lines on the distribution areas seemed like an endless link of hungry people waiting for their rations. However, one of the many things that the pandemic has positively brought to people is the community of people helping people in times of adversity. Many individuals and non-govt institutions set up various community pantries where anyone can donate and those that need food supplies can freely receive as long as social distancing is observed. </p><p>
The pandemic and the extensive multiple lock-downs made me realize that <a href="https://www.savingscalculator.org/ ">saving money</a> is really vital and that we need to save if we can. Despite being so cautious, on August 2020, I still got infected and sadly infecting my 87-yr old mother with COVID-19 virus. It was indeed a tough time for us. With the hospitals all full in capacity, we were turned down by 3 hospitals. There’s a moment that we’ve almost given up but a miracle or a blessing happened. My mom and I survived and finally recovered from that nightmare if I can say. <br /></p><p>
The pandemic taught me many realizations, from being thankful each day and knowing that waking up each morning is such a great blessing. Life is really short and we all can go anytime. Also, saving is essential and cutting down some unnecessary spending became a goal. In terms of buying or shopping, finding good deals or mark down on products is a must because every penny saved is valuable. The crisis also helped me to think new ways to generate extra income and fortunately I was able to put up a small online store. Aside from the revenue that I am getting from my graphic designing works that online store sure is a big help. I know I’m guilty of overspending specially on material things but I surely did slow down. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnnSHP18We86sJ5PLJK9myGn5aAMKTnOm8sgzpidV0Z03n71R3lDn7rbVzKh3cAmG6NI3T8RTlO9iiZGDcVDCVydmJssbSdVanMeUz_ZGnH4h18dEgKmC7gZyuZL8Lp31zlM4InEnmi6Z57Z0KWeGCtimJAt-Lfq08LYf8bJ8950UW3TD_cx0mtvNB/s1250/saving-money.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1230" data-original-width="1250" height="315" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnnSHP18We86sJ5PLJK9myGn5aAMKTnOm8sgzpidV0Z03n71R3lDn7rbVzKh3cAmG6NI3T8RTlO9iiZGDcVDCVydmJssbSdVanMeUz_ZGnH4h18dEgKmC7gZyuZL8Lp31zlM4InEnmi6Z57Z0KWeGCtimJAt-Lfq08LYf8bJ8950UW3TD_cx0mtvNB/s320/saving-money.png" width="320" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">These days, my frequent browsing online, reading and watching financial influencers and creators, I became more interested in saving more money and investing because of the lessons that pandemic taught me. We never know when will another intense crisis will arise so it’s better if we have something to pull out of our pockets. It's not bad to splurge at times or treat ourselves once in a while but let's also make saving a habit. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">There are actually lots of sites like <a href="https://www.savingscalculator.org/">https://www.savingscalculator.org/</a> that I was able to browse and it can actually help us learn more about inflation, saving and investing. I know it’s not easy to learn about them overnight but if we study more, we can actually accomplish that. Passion and determination to succeed are also factors that can help attain our goals.<br /></div><p></p><p>
With the world already opened up, businesses rolling, traveling are back to normal, less people getting infected and workers back to work, I can say that we survived the pandemic and we are stronger than ever. We can also thank the Lord for saving us and giving us another opportunity to live and experience new things in life.

It’s already 2 years and 3 months that I’ve been an ARMY (BTS fandom). Just in case you didn’t know BTS is a South Korean boyband and is the No. 1 boy group in the world. It has 7 members : <b>Kim Namjoon (the leader), Kim Seokjin, Min Yoongi, JungHoseok, Park Jimin, Kim Taehyung and Jeon Jungkook. </b></p><p><b></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLKmffyAlXuYW-ql7LqHUDtVuQovj1agEEgqrKuTngKMTDHvC_Fsm8r215Nv3u7wbaIZvJyfB99AJKq0w4OLfKvDNOvsMvcKaqF06zxO1B8EnzKfMSabZZK4xujlNJ-Ic1d4M7ub-8dlbXbyCRGZ9KSMHF3_hRnmKWcXo-AR0Hw5k_i81j2GJFHo5r/s1440/bts%20proof.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="961" data-original-width="1440" height="369" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLKmffyAlXuYW-ql7LqHUDtVuQovj1agEEgqrKuTngKMTDHvC_Fsm8r215Nv3u7wbaIZvJyfB99AJKq0w4OLfKvDNOvsMvcKaqF06zxO1B8EnzKfMSabZZK4xujlNJ-Ic1d4M7ub-8dlbXbyCRGZ9KSMHF3_hRnmKWcXo-AR0Hw5k_i81j2GJFHo5r/w552-h369/bts%20proof.jpg" width="552" /></a></b></div><b><br /> </b>These good looking guys aged 26-30 are not just pretty boys, as they are also composers, producers and talented artists. I came to know them in December 2020 after watching an episode of Ellen Show where they are guests. After watching a video or two of them, the rest is history. I am more than happy to know them most especially when I am at my lowest point in my life. After recovering from COVID and still mending my broken heart from the death of my 11-yr old dog, I came to know them. Their music sooths me, their funny antics made me laugh, their personalities attract me and so much more. Their music brings joy to me and the rest of the fandom. Who would have thought that at my age, I’d still be fangirling and be a K-Pop fan. <p></p><p> Music knows no age so I’m enjoying every bit of being an ARMY. I also got to meet new friends with the same interests. Some are half my age while some are just quite near or older than me. Age doesn’t matter because we all have the same love for our “boys”. We love them dearly and will support them all the way.
</p><p></p><p>They released their <b><a href="https://ibighit.com/bts/eng/discography/detail/proof/index.html">PROOF album</a></b>, on June 10, 2022, 11 months after their latest single CD Butter. Proof is the core of BTS’ history.
It’s a 3 CD album introduces three new tracks, one in each CD: “Yet To Come (The Most Beautiful Moment)”, “Run BTS” and “For Youth”, each in different genres conveying their own messages.

band and that broke our hearts. It turned out that they will pursue
going solo for the time being so they can explore more and expand their
musicality. Even though they are doing solo activities, they are NOT
disbanding.
</p><p> </p><p> Right now, one-by-one they are releasing their solo albums, collaborating with different artists and they all became ambassadors of different bands. </p><p></p><p>RM- Ambassador of Bottega Veneta </p><p>YOONGI - Ambassador of Valentino and NBA<br /></p><p>HOBI - Ambassador of Louis Vuitton </p><p>JIMIN- Ambassador of Christian Dior and Tiffany </p><p>V - Ambassador of Celine </p><p>JK - Ambassador of Calvin Klein
</p><p><b> Jin </b>the eldest has already enlisted at the military on Dec 2022 and will be out by June 2024. He had released a single album THE ASTRONAUT before he enlisted and it is a gift for his fans, us ARMY!
<b>RM (Namjoon)</b>, the leader also released his album last year named INDIGO. While <b>Hobi </b>had a mini-concert like performance at Lalapalooza in the US and released a digital album called: JACK in the BOX. </p><p><b>Jimin, </b>my bias just recently released his solo album FACE and his single track <b>LIKE CRAZY </b>topped No. 1 at the Billboard Hot 100 (April 8, 2023). He is the 1st Korean soloist to have achieved such recognition. Wow, I am so proud of his accomplishments and he deserves all the love and recognition that he is getting right now.

V and JK</b> will be the next in line to release their solo albums and I we’ll support them as well.
</p><p> They also each released Photofolios and I’m proud that I have collected all of the 8. My next project will be is to complete all their solo albums. I already have Jin’s The Astronaut single album and Jimin’s FACE album. Need to save more to get the others: RM’s Indigo and JHOPE’s Jack in the Box.
</p><p> They already received numerous awards, like ARTIST f the Year, Album of the year just to name a few. They also have spoken at the UN and have met US Pres. Biden in the white house. Attended so many shows, performed at the Grammy's and so much more!<br /></p><p>
BTS and ARMY have a close idol / fan relationship. The boys usually posts on Weverse to updae or just to say hello to us. They also go on LIVE so we can interact with them. They also have their personal Instagram accounts except for JK who just deleted his acct. to share their pics or videos for the fans.
</p><p>
Hobi is enlisted in the military this April 2023 and eventhough we’ll be sad, we just need to accept that they will all enlist in no time as part of their duty as SK citizen.
</p><p>
I am so excited for their individual projects and will be rooting for all of them all the way. My support for them is massive and will not trade my love for them on anything else. from humble beginnings, they are now the most sought after band / singers.<br /></p><p> I’m an auntie (tita) of BTS and happy to be one. !!I will wait for their comeback hopefully by 2025! BTS is here to stay and so am I.

Summer is officially here in our country and almost everyone complains of the heat all day. Gone are the chilly days especially in the early morning that we experienced last January and probably around 1st week of February this year.
Summer here in the Philippines can be so intense. Imagine, a 34-36 C temperature plus the humidity especially around 1-4 pm can be exhausting. An airconditioned room is the best place to be in for you to combat the heat. While a cold beverage (water is the best) is a way to cool down bec. a heat stroke is not an option for everyone to experience. </p><p>Anyway, it’s Holy Friday today and most of the people are at home because school and most offices are closed for the holiday. While most of the religious Holy Week traditions are done at churches and spiritual places.
With that being said, it’s also long weekend and what a great time to bond with the family during this time. While most of my friends and relatives packed their bags and flew to their dream summer destination or take a road trip out of town, here I am with mom and brother’s family stuck in the house. Our summer outing plans are non-existent yet as we don’t usually go for a vacation during the Holy Week but if I found a nice resort for us maybe around end of April or early May we’ll take the time to have some fun under the sun. </p><p>Yesterday, Maundy Thursday was spent going to various churches for our Visita Iglesia as we call it and did our Station of the Cross. The kids opted not to go with us so they just stayed at home for sure they endlessly played online games and browsing the net.
These days, everyone is online doing personal or business transactions, ordering stuff, studying, playing, communicating and a lot more. Technology and the world wide web are already very accessible and we are all taking advantage of its usefulness in our daily lives.
Also, all of us have different ways to enjoy and find recreational activities that can keep us pre-occupied when we feel bored or if we have spare time to entertain ourselves. I myself, love playing games. I still remember playing Super Mario on our ‘family computer’ machines and even tetris and other games on game consoles. </p><p>Now, playing games online is also amusing most especially if I found an interesting game that can stimulate my mind or have me thinking solving a mystery or what-not. However, a non-complicated game can be engaging as well. We just have to choose what we find enjoyable and worth our time. Just now, found this <i><a href=" https://www.mortgagecalculator.org/money-games/flower-shop/">Flower Shop game </a></i>and it’s a floral business simulation game where you must swiftly serve customers floral arrangements. There will be customers that will buy flowers arrangements and you need to quickly serve or give their order so they will not leave. </p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggv15KCmCr_Nw2RucCfnYExEhA0ImZ7NTMvyvEQ1usyeNHdT4sSB_Gz68GAjEFaV5MZxuQohg8eAkZv7d4PdgoZTxnhlcZx_JQY_E05dFpT65johh2HKCpGonopen8mvY4cKKJweFTLp10jYXMexgMM4YzIaot4qcltE-EdNpsxojcPGv87VeoOcYj/s1621/flowershop.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="967" data-original-width="1621" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggv15KCmCr_Nw2RucCfnYExEhA0ImZ7NTMvyvEQ1usyeNHdT4sSB_Gz68GAjEFaV5MZxuQohg8eAkZv7d4PdgoZTxnhlcZx_JQY_E05dFpT65johh2HKCpGonopen8mvY4cKKJweFTLp10jYXMexgMM4YzIaot4qcltE-EdNpsxojcPGv87VeoOcYj/w536-h320/flowershop.jpg" width="536" /></a></div><p></p><p>The level one was pretty easy but as level rises, there are more customers to cater and you need to be fast hahhaha. It’s a simple game but your quick action is needed as there is also a time limit for each customer and once you did not serve their order, they will leave. I need to practice a little bit more to master the game of speed to accommodate all the buyers. </p><p>Found this cute game, Power Puff game named The <a href="https://www.mortgagecalculator.org/money-games/the-powerpuff-girls-panic-in-townsville/"><i>Powerpuff Girls Panic In Townsville</i></a> wherein you need to help Buttercup, Blossom, and Bubbles save the city. Played the game and found myself chuckling when a building collapsed due to my negligence in keeping the meteors destroyed. I’d better step up my game to help them save the city.
Definitely will share this game to niece who happens to be a fan of Power Puff girls when she’s still young.

We still have the weekend to have a good rest and play some more since it’s back to work and school come Monday.<p></p><p> What about you? How will you spend the long weekend?

I remember in the late 80’s when my dad told us that we’ll finally build our new house. What a joy to hear and know that my parents’ wish will finally become a reality in no time. Though there are some hiccups along the way in the construction, my late dad who is an engineer was able to pull it through. We’re all very much ecstatic to see our new house and moving there was exciting and pure bliss. </p><p>Construction of a house can be finished in just few months as long as you have a competent builder/contractor and of course the money budget. However, not all families are capable of building their own house from scratch like what my parents had done. I know families would love to have one but since not all are financially stable or prepared. Some just resort in renting a house or an apartment/flat and just settle paying monthly dues. Regular income wage earners that solely get their payments and family expenses on their salaries mostly can’t afford to build or buy a house to settle. </p><p>The COVID-19 pandemic that crippled every business including the real estate market and displaced a lot of workers added a major blow in everyone’s finances. It’s hard to even think how we all have managed to survived on those trying times. Also, how can anyone think of buying / constructing a new house or even getting a housing loan when your business is down and you are out of job during the pandemic. Ahhh.. what a burden. </p><p>Now, that the world is slowing moving on and accepting covid-19 situation as part of our lives, we can breathe a little and the light at the end of the tunnel is becoming bright. A lot of businesses are back on its toes and workers are generally happy and excited to be back at work as well. The economy are gradually flourishing back again for many countries and workers can now save some money for their rentals or future house mortgage payments. </p><p>Getting a housing loan can be an option but it should be considered a major financial decision on your part as a borrower. Different banks and or financial institutions have their own interest rates. Usually loans can be from 15-to 20 years payments and as a borrower, you need to calculate your monthly income and finances to be able to know if you have the means to pay the loans. You can <a href="https://www.mortgagecalculator.uk/">figure your loan</a> and start from there. </p><p><a href="https://www.mortgagecalculator.uk/amortisation/">Calculating loan payments</a> and managing your finances are your best tools in getting a home that you are dreaming. Reading about some <a href="https://www.wsj.com/buyside/personal-finance/mortgage-rates-tips-01653595262">tips on getting mortgage rates </a>can also help you on your decisions.
Homebuyers also need to know that rushing in getting a home loan without proper thinking and financial capability can be a bad decision and can result in a great debt. So deep thinking should be considered. </p><p>Lately, I have been thinking of renovating or extending part of our kitchen in our home. Since cooking and preparing food in our kitchen has become busy each, the small space is not conducive anymore in working around the area. That situation has led me into thinking that a renovation is much needed soon. However, I also need to consider my financial status right now in that way I can have a better decision if ever I’ll apply for a loan. Poor decision and planning on my part are not good options. </p><p>So, let’s plan, research and aim for our home vision.

A lot of us have many responsibilities and our minds are preoccupied with our own problems and worries most especially when the pandemic started.
May we all be reminded that, having a “me time” or time for ourselves are much needed to keep us healthy since all-work and no fun will make us dull and unproductive. </p><p>As a graphic artist, content creator and entrepreneur, I have to make it sure that I allot some time for myself to relax and have some fun. I usually do some gardening on the weekends if time permits and play with my cats and dog on my breaktime as I work-from-home. Also, as a K-pop fan, I collect merch of my fave idols and join some meet-ups; -this needs a separate post as I have a lot to talk about, and of course another fave of mine is to play board and online games. Playing games is not only a way to keep us entertained or kill boring times but also helps our mind to think more and focus on reasoning and strategy. Some games are complicated that requires a lot of time to play and plan but some games are basic yet still fun and amusing. </p><p>There are even times that I playfully compete with my niece and nephew on a game that we all fond playing. One such game is the <a href="https://www.solitaire.org/letter-scramble/"><b>Letter Scramble</b></a> as this game can test our vocabulary and quick thinking. Letters will appear one by one and you need to create a word out of those letters then type and submit it, then scores will be shown. I have to be fast in creating a word in my mind or else the words will file up just what you saw on the image I have posted. There are 3 levels and it’s quite exciting and interesting to play. If you play it all the time, it will hone your skills in creating words instantly. Such a fun game indeed and definitely worth a try! </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpmggC36OgbTlcfRmS4PsULHonQc1iaYaAfFreo-E-WLlg-Hz0ntdjvQCc2fqD-OHDUU3qyOpOxA1T2FutsIaszMbBILbu6ATxqqPX4hu4r3pjKFepxnl42duyjtMrXK7-B4q7bRicOBNZaRYbkIKYUvl0bfI48MBR9e6Iy0sB41w2csobA_PkGZga/s1794/letterscramble.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1065" data-original-width="1794" height="238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpmggC36OgbTlcfRmS4PsULHonQc1iaYaAfFreo-E-WLlg-Hz0ntdjvQCc2fqD-OHDUU3qyOpOxA1T2FutsIaszMbBILbu6ATxqqPX4hu4r3pjKFepxnl42duyjtMrXK7-B4q7bRicOBNZaRYbkIKYUvl0bfI48MBR9e6Iy0sB41w2csobA_PkGZga/w400-h238/letterscramble.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /> My nephew who is a certified game addict always needs to be entertained and challenge from all the games that he is playing. From simple card game, crossword puzzles, to complicated math games, he is up to a challenge. One time I asked him to play the <i>Pirates and Treasures </i>to test his skills in finding hidden objects and he seemed to like it. Puzzles are always exciting to play but can be frustrating at times if you can’t solve or find the missing word or objects. <p></p><p>Another game that I like to play online is the <b><a href="https://www.solitaire.org/daily-maze/ ">Daily Maze</a></b> that I enjoy. There are 10x10, 15x15, or 20x20 grids to choose from. Just find the path that you think is correct then connect the 2 dots and you can choose to your game difficulty. Another fun part is that you can even print the puzzle. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9y4sFZQbFQdIiSiQcyah10gmZf1AsuVBJUmeRM7hono3fGXnCrn0svb8Danz0YGe1EUdycOLaQeQLj2pvdfIiFhuwJAGz1dqJcX9xPfvbo8EDZRKJ7N_9b_ek0WxjofFyRz8NRolpKA4azoztiTQVU4sXKj_EQQ8yKV-xWJB-swbH8cjn437FFxHU/s1618/puzzle.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1005" data-original-width="1618" height="249" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9y4sFZQbFQdIiSiQcyah10gmZf1AsuVBJUmeRM7hono3fGXnCrn0svb8Danz0YGe1EUdycOLaQeQLj2pvdfIiFhuwJAGz1dqJcX9xPfvbo8EDZRKJ7N_9b_ek0WxjofFyRz8NRolpKA4azoztiTQVU4sXKj_EQQ8yKV-xWJB-swbH8cjn437FFxHU/w400-h249/puzzle.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /> Kids can also find this game amusing and enjoyable. It’s always nice to see them play games be it online or offline as they can learn and at the same time have fun. However, we also need to guide them and set a time schedule for playtime or else they will just play all day, which kids always love to do. Also, we don’t need to buy games anymore as there are free online games that we can easily take advantage of. <p></p><p>We don’t need to be a pro-gamer because as long as we enjoy our time in playing games it’s already enough. Just in case you don’t have a hobby yet on your spare time, find what will make you happy, help you learn new things and will bring out your creative skill.

You should look for one that is six millimeters or larger. A smoke pump tester can pump a tiny amount of air, which can create pressure inside the system. Ideally, you should use a smoke tester on leaks that are not as large as this one. Whether it is a mini version or a full version will depend on your needs.</span></p><p></p><h2><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0e101a;">Detects unknown or external factors</span></h2><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0e101a;">The </span><a href="https://www.hurcotech.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">smoke pump tester</a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0e101a;"> is a simple instrument that measures the amount of electrical current produced in a gas detector by exposing it to an unknown gas concentration. The response factor is calculated by multiplying the detector response to a reference gas, usually isobutylene. The instrument has pre-programmed response factors for many different chemicals. Selecting the name of the gas identified on display will correct the readout automatically.</span></p><p></p><h2><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0e101a;">Is it a mini or rapid regression test</span></h2><p><a href="https://www.techtarget.com/searchsoftwarequality/tip/What-regression-testing-types-make-sense-for-your-applications" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Regression testing</a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0e101a;"> is vital for maintaining the quality of a product or application. Developers must perform this procedure to ensure that a new feature or addition does not impact previously tested code. Changing a single line of code can cause significant problems, so it is essential to perform this type of testing to catch these issues. The purpose of regression testing is to ensure that the new code is compatible with the existing code so that if any problems arise, they can be fixed before the customer experiences them.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0e101a;">While regression tests are designed to detect bugs that would affect the performance of the product or application, exploratory testing may be used to find new problems. For example, if an experimental test is conducted, it might be a mini regression test. This kind of testing helps determine whether the system works correctly in different environments. A smoke test will determine if the build is stable and conforms to the requirements. If it fails, it will signify that it is not ready for formal testing.</span></p><p></p><h2><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0e101a;">Is it compliant with ASTM, D2156?</span></h2><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0e101a;">Smoke pump testers are devices used to measure the volume of smoke produced by combustion processes. They are available in various versions, including portable models. Each tester is characterized by its ability to measure a range of different emissions, including airborne </span><a href="https://www.wbez.org/stories/what-is-particulate-matter/2b1f45f5-ca5d-40ba-ae68-737202e7c7e0" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">particulate matter</a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0e101a;"> (PM), soot, and carbon monoxide. Typically, smoke pump testers are used in a gas or oil burner and are approved for commercial and residential applications by the corresponding standards.</span></p><p></p><h2><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0e101a;">Cost?</span></h2><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0e101a;">Purchasing a smoke pump tester is a worthwhile investment for any automotive mechanic. A device is a versatile tool that allows mechanics to perform multiple tests on multiple components in an engine. Typically, it's attached to the spark plug port, but it can also be connected to the oil filter cap or intake manifold for simultaneous diagnostics. A leaky piston or ring often causes smoke and could indicate a piston or ring issue. In addition, modern vehicles have complex exhaust systems that can be difficult to access using traditional methods.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black;">The most popular smoke pump tester is the heavy-duty Testo manual, allowing engineers to identify even the most minor leaks. It can also find multiple leaks at one time, saving them a lot of money. Prices range from $10 to $75 and vary depending on location, type of vehicle, and local regulations. Some cities require smoke pump tests, but not all. For more information, read the reviews about smoke pump testers to find the best one for your vehicle.</span></p><h1></h1>

There’s no problem with my purchased BTS PTD Live Streaming on March 12, 2022. The ticket was printed in a swift after showing the email confirmation, QR code with booking or reference no. at iPay88 email and valid ID. The lady told me that a physical ticket is really need to enter the cinema. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjkg1MuJdGJS9y2FqcZdCF0_5kKC1lxMyikWQCBTncwvLPUtS9BSAJb7scZiT-ceLt4xdmzQRtR1fNFlMw6i135brL4BHkZ-_k9VNRheZ-cb6xKX4WkS8Uc07hk1MYqJWVGWjJFLTuzpIqmA9IZyLyZSnEbbnkwXjrvW0NyfOYS0qfw9co2nSWhwxVX=s833" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="833" data-original-width="405" height="439" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjkg1MuJdGJS9y2FqcZdCF0_5kKC1lxMyikWQCBTncwvLPUtS9BSAJb7scZiT-ceLt4xdmzQRtR1fNFlMw6i135brL4BHkZ-_k9VNRheZ-cb6xKX4WkS8Uc07hk1MYqJWVGWjJFLTuzpIqmA9IZyLyZSnEbbnkwXjrvW0NyfOYS0qfw9co2nSWhwxVX=w214-h439" width="214" /></a></div><br /> Here are some advice that the lady in the ticket counter said: <p></p><p>1. Avoid the ticket to get wet, lost or crumpled because they can only print that only ONCE. </p><p>2. As much as possible, try to have the ticket printed much earlier before 12th at the cinema branch where you bought it online to avoid long lines and hassle.
Although you can have it printed on March 12th, but expect long lines. Try to be there early if you are far because it’s a pain if your are still in the line when the streaming is starting already. Yay! </p><p> 3. If you did not receive any QR code but you are billed, and especially you have no seat number, quickly go to the branch to confirm if you got the slot. They will also help you to fix any problem you have with your online booking.</p><p> 4. If you have QR code but don’t have the reference no. or booking ID then it’s also a problem. </p><p> Ok ARMYs, I hope you have your physical tickets now and see you at the cinema. I only got the 8:45 pm slot but it’s ok . better than nothing! So excited to watch our boys on big screen!

Of course, that's why so many people are turning to microblading. A form of semi-permanent makeup, microblading allows a permanent makeup artist to draw every brow hair by hand, implanting pigmentation into the skin at the same time to create a refined look. There are many benefits.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiNQ7kXUcOTp0I1PDNLi4wl_S-_K_gW5X0YmehumKxOxlcyOwC2TV7eFtmCZe8jQ6otKS_SinJcdEOdyU4Aq4sPvDhWhmYJs4FkBDB9aHh6XExmyPdhngraJYdg7OwV1Y0y0p8iP2wf2Y-sN3yqvcfwuTPLAZvWtbcygTA7vjSPxWojLrMlUsIFFLKS=s615" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="270" data-original-width="615" height="175" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiNQ7kXUcOTp0I1PDNLi4wl_S-_K_gW5X0YmehumKxOxlcyOwC2TV7eFtmCZe8jQ6otKS_SinJcdEOdyU4Aq4sPvDhWhmYJs4FkBDB9aHh6XExmyPdhngraJYdg7OwV1Y0y0p8iP2wf2Y-sN3yqvcfwuTPLAZvWtbcygTA7vjSPxWojLrMlUsIFFLKS=w400-h175" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>
<h2>The Results Are Long-Lasting</h2>
<p>Finding the <a href="https://www.nailskinhairinstitute.edu/permanent-makeup/">best microblading Long Island NY</a> means finding long-lasting results.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of unsavory people in the world who are waiting to mug or attack the next unsuspecting woman. Luckily, there are some things you can do to ward off attackers and thieves. Seeking help and instruction from the right professionals can help you defend yourself if you're ever in a bad situation.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgnotEsF3BNHF9Y-ZVR3BcIA1T7i7xy5I7yIYphm3gDNYTTRXpLD7ZBqblxQRj3T0bbs-sxbTBx8nSsZKYENzwYrO0Iyl8B8_ZveLQ5sT597ikowO-PCrNRKozikEJ2kxN4RRtOlvSgbyCSRqk7Gi2W2ktZ4kL71lMUVNhSP0kkSwYljk7LAj8DCB-T=s1000" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgnotEsF3BNHF9Y-ZVR3BcIA1T7i7xy5I7yIYphm3gDNYTTRXpLD7ZBqblxQRj3T0bbs-sxbTBx8nSsZKYENzwYrO0Iyl8B8_ZveLQ5sT597ikowO-PCrNRKozikEJ2kxN4RRtOlvSgbyCSRqk7Gi2W2ktZ4kL71lMUVNhSP0kkSwYljk7LAj8DCB-T=s320" width="320" /></a></div><p></p>
<h2>Carry a Gun</h2>
<p>One of the best ways for a person to protect themselves from attackers is to carry a firearm. Many states allow people to carry a gun as long as it is visible. Although this works in some places, it doesn't work for everyone. Sometimes carrying a gun that's not visible can be a little safer. If you've already purchased a firearm and have learned to use it properly, then the next step is to get some gear to carry it with you. One way you can find the right kind of apparel is to look at companies that provide items such as <a href="https://www.undertechundercover.com/pages/women" rel="noopener" target="_blank">concealed carry options for women</a>.</p>
<h2>Take a Self-Defense Class</h2>
<p>Sometimes, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-defense" rel="noopener" target="_blank">taking a self-defense class</a> is the best thing you can do when you're afraid of potential predators. These classes teach people how to defend themselves if ever in a physical altercation. These classes not only give the students the physical tools to protect themselves in a fight, but they can also instill a sense of self-confidence. When you can strengthen your confidence, it makes it feel much easier to get through things.</p>
<h2>Use a Camera</h2>
<p>Especially for people who drive for ride-share services, it helps to keep a security camera in your car. This could record incidents and make your customers less likely to start trouble.</p>
<p>There are many things you can do to strengthen your self-confidence and ward off predators.</p>

Yes, plump bodies are in trend these days, and styling clothing on such bodies is just so unique and perfect. But, not everyone is blessed with that perfectly plump body.

Real estate is one of the few industries that thrived during the pandemic. But as with other sectors, only brands that can quickly adapt to full digitalization and drive online sales can see light in the post-pandemic world. </p><p>Lumina Homes, the ever-innovative housing brand for the middle-income Filipino, continues to be at the forefront of digital real estate selling. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiR30eoIUTOADAHPpzn_AoCz3s1rJTITVg5FB21FkvRRB2M68hZFVvjyaOndzeucNExj4OPx5SmLPHJmOfdalm4VvKU-eQoT95JgVRKhUUTysuQ1omYyd0Qa5wnLU6fyIpcvhTZyWHuq1FLHLmGvQvOnLg22ssRv99OYdnjoOKd5xOe3Y6kpdpX_48T=s1800" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1800" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiR30eoIUTOADAHPpzn_AoCz3s1rJTITVg5FB21FkvRRB2M68hZFVvjyaOndzeucNExj4OPx5SmLPHJmOfdalm4VvKU-eQoT95JgVRKhUUTysuQ1omYyd0Qa5wnLU6fyIpcvhTZyWHuq1FLHLmGvQvOnLg22ssRv99OYdnjoOKd5xOe3Y6kpdpX_48T=w400-h240" width="400" /></a></div>Not only has the company become a go-to brand for homeowners and investors during the lockdowns, it has also been offering a unique opportunity for candidate sellers. <p></p><p>Aside from providing regular training and webinars about digitization in the real estate industry, Lumina continues to provide digital tools that make home selling easier to its partner sales network. </p><p><b>Lumina Homes Online </b></p><p>The one-stop-shop online reservation portal makes it simple for accredited brokers and sales agents to hold the preferred unit on behalf of their customers. Once the seller has reserved units in the available inventories for their clients, Lumina Homes will automatically send a reservation payment link to their email addresses. </p><p>An Interactive Project Map also allows both buyers and sellers to view Lumina Homes’ available units in the subdivision map. This gives them a better idea of the unit’s exact location within the subdivision, similar to how you reserve a plane or theater seat when making an online reservation. </p><p><b>Lumina Online University</b></p><p>Gone are the days when candidate sellers and partners travel to Lumina’s physical offices to formalize their training. </p><p>Today, they can receive their certifications in the comfort of their homes by attending Lumina Online University’s two-level learning course.
The Beginner's Course includes modules about the Fundamentals of Lumina Homes and Lumina Online Training System Guide, while the Advanced Course includes modules about Recruitment and Training, Facebook Marketing, and Digital Marketing.</p><p><b> Sellers’ Portal </b></p><p>All the mentioned digital tools can be accessed through the <a href="https://www.lumina.com.ph/news-and-blogs/news/lumina-homes-launches-sellers-portal/">Lumina Sellers’ Portal</a>—everything a seller needs to know about Lumina Homes’ condo units or <a href="https://wheninvisayas.wordpress.com/2021/12/28/invest-a-home-when-in-visayas%ef%bf%bc/">house and lot packages</a>. It’s also where sellers can track upcoming events and activities, promos, and ongoing sellers’ incentives. They can also check pricing updates, view maps, see a complete directory of Lumina offices and site locations nationwide. </p><p>Lumina Homes takes pride in introducing these sellers’ portal even before the pandemic happened, a proof of its forward-thinking characteristic that it wishes to extend to its sellers. </p><p>As such, site visits or trippings are easily scheduled online, which can also be done through 3D virtual tours, to the excitement of interested homeseekers during the lockdowns.</p><p><b>Virtual Tours and Online Appointments </b></p><p>Lumina is equipped with a virtual 360-degree house tour of its best-selling homes, so sellers and homebuyers can have a walk-through of their home models online. Homeseekers, with the assistance of their brokers or agents, can easily search for their dream home through Lumina's digital solutions. They can choose from virtual home and subdivision tours, book online appointments, and pay through digital wallets and digital banking. </p><p>Lumina Homes’ official website, <a href="http://www.lumina.com.ph">www.lumina.com.ph</a> is an effective venue to explore its best-selling home models in 3D: Angelique at 35 square meters with two-bedroom and one carport provision, and Angeli at 42 square meters with three-bedroom and one carport provision. </p><p>There’s also a virtual tour of Lumina’s signature showcase area, which offers a preview of a Lumina Homes community.

Moderating the discussions and posting opportunities from several brands are co-admins Divine RC and Richard Mamuyac and Lariza Garcia. </p><p>The yearly event serves as a venue to reacquaint with fellow members around the country, celebrate the holiday season and create great new memories.
Just like last year, the gathering was conducted online and livestreamed within the official FBN group page. Aside from the exciting prizes given away during the games and raffle draws, a couple of members received financial assistance to support them in their family medical emergency. Indeed, it was both a fun-filled and meaningful day at the same time. </p><p>Different PR groups and brands and individual sponsors were acknowledged during the event for supporting the online community in 2021 and hopefully for more years to come. </p><p>This year’s virtual event sponsors are Pro-Solutions, Cebuana Llhuillier, Glorious Blend, Salgado PR, i55 Talent House, Rex Education, Gur Lavi Corporation (Telavi); CAT PR, Goodah!, Pacific Sunrise, M2.0 Communications, ROAR Agile, GPS TV, BIOCOCO, Rep. Eric Yap, Rep. Ronnie Ong, Rep. Mike Defensor, Gen. Guillermo Eleazar, and a number of generous FBN members. </p><p>With the great support and opportunities that FBN received this year from partners companies and brands, the group is looking forward to more campaigns and activities that members can join and engage with in the coming new year.
Let us claim that 2022 will be a better year for all of us. </p><p>Cheers for more success and blessings!</p>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07900873073435715448noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512008796356773434.post-75332914389796949762021-11-24T08:03:00.004+08:002021-11-24T08:03:28.953+08:003 Reasons To Embrace Your Little One's Curiosity <p>Do you have little ones who are ready to explore the world? Are their fingers itching to touch buttons, pick up blocks and color? Young minds eagerly seek out new things, discovering how items work or wondering about how to use them. Their innate curiosity drives many of their actions and decision and can prove immensely helpful in their development. Harness that drive by working with them on the following three things.</p>
<h2>1. Encourage Sensory Play</h2>
<p>The expressive behavior of toddlers is more than expected. <a href="https://www.oac.edu.au/news-views/sensory-play/">Sensory play</a> is a vital developmental stage for their cognitive development. When they mold dough or run their hands through sand, their minds learn to adapt to various textures, and their minds become aware of their surroundings and use their numerous senses. As they grow, these activities influence spatial awareness, balance and movement.</p>
<h2>2. Practice Following Directions</h2>
<p>When your children want to know more--that's great, but they also must adapt to following directions on how to get some information. At home, you could play board games to do both. As they go through the game, they seek out how to win while also adhering to a structure.</p>
<p>If you struggle to do this independently, consider working with a <a href="https://bartramacademy.com/">local daycare Julington creek FL</a> where teachers play Simon says and red light green light. </p>
<h2>3. Plan Trips</h2>
<p>Kids discover by finding new places, so hop in the car and go to different locations. Head out to the zoo where they could see the various animals. Answer questions about their habitats and behaviors. Go to the children's museum, where exhibits encourage participation and engagement. Visit a state park, walk along the trails and read books about the nature that inhabits the area.</p>
<p>Grab ahold of your loved ones' curiosity, and further it by teaching them it's okay to explore. Let them run their hands through paint. Help them play cards. It's about acceptance and embracing investigation.</p>

Kid activities no longer interest them and they aren't ready for a teen party yet. However, you can please any tween with one of these fun party ideas.</p>
<h2>1. Adventure Playground</h2>
<p>Turn your backyard into a playground made for adventure by renting several activity stations from your local party rental company. Favorite activities include a <a href="https://www.jumpingfiestarentals.com/contact_us/">bungee trampoline Houston TX</a>, obstacle course, rock climbing wall, slides and carnival games. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yunYMpxX_Lg/YVT8hivIbXI/AAAAAAAAKdc/vmozdITjaA8f2MNm-9VBLAh7JXgPKqk4QCLcBGAsYHQ/s300/jumpingpartyhouse.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="225" data-original-width="300" height="225" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yunYMpxX_Lg/YVT8hivIbXI/AAAAAAAAKdc/vmozdITjaA8f2MNm-9VBLAh7JXgPKqk4QCLcBGAsYHQ/s0/jumpingpartyhouse.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><p></p>
<h2>2. Arcade Party</h2>
<p>Old school arcade games are back in style! Look around for a party location near you that offers plenty of games for your crew and offers a lunch option as well. Give each attendee a bag of quarters and the freedom to play any game they like. After lunch, give out prizes to the winners.</p>
<h2>3. Cooking Competition</h2>
<p>If your tween loves television cooking shows, create a <a href="https://www.momof6.com/at-home-birthday-parties/cutthroat-kitchen-birthday-party-an-awesome-party-for-tweens/">competition</a> for them and their friends! Have them compete in creating cupcakes or cookies and decorating them with their own style. For an outdoor option, move the fun to your backyard and have them cook up camp-themed food from a set list of ingredients.</p>
<h2>4. Photo Scavenger Hunt</h2>
<p>Almost every tween has access to a smartphone to use in a photo scavenger hunt. Split the group into pairs and send them in the backyard for an hour to check off the items on a printed list you prepared in advance. Creative things to include are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Something that dangles</li>
<li>Something red</li>
<li>Something that begins with the letter "H"</li>
<li>Something that moves</li>
</ul>

In addition to all the planning required to design and furnish the sort of workspace you need, you must also adhere to relevant your area's relevant rules and regulations. Consider a few things your shop may require to meet fire safety standards.</p>
<h2>1. Fire Extinguishers and Suppression Systems </h2>
<p>Depending on how large your building is and how it will be used, the type of fire safety equipment you must have on hand may vary. Small properties may only need fire extinguishers; however, fire extinguishers come in various sizes and you may need a particular type to be in compliance with fire safety regulations. <a href="https://www.firecodeinc.com/">Installation of fire code California</a> in larger sites, on the other hand, may involve sprinkler systems.</p>
<h2>2. Alarms</h2>
<p>Many, though not all, businesses must have smoke detectors. Some may also require manual fire alarm switches and carbon monoxide detectors. Even if your building doesn't strictly have to install smoke detectors, these devices are very effective when it comes to controlling fires and protecting your property. You may even wish to hire a company to monitor these alarms overnight.</p>
<h2>3. Signage</h2>
<p>Practically all commercial buildings must have two dedicated fire exits with lit signs near them. Note that exits don't always have to be doors. In some situations, a fire exit could be a window.</p>
<h2>4. Permits</h2>
<p>Finally, you may be required to obtain a <a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/38882#:~:text=You%20may%20need%20to%20get,be%20open%20to%20the%20public.&text=Other%20areas%20don't%20require,you%20meet%20fire%20safety%20regulations.">permit</a> from your local fire department before opening your business. Additionally, firefighters may come to inspect your building as often as once every year to make sure you still meet all fire safety standards.</p>
<p>As you prepare to open your business, your to-do list may feel interminably long. Even so, many of these tasks are critical to the safety of your employees, customers, and property. Make sure to thoroughly research the fire code in your area so you don't miss any key steps.</p>

Playing musical instrument, gardening, cooking, dancing, crocheting, sports activities or playing games are just some of the things that can preoccupy our extra time or refresh our minds from our somewhat routine activity.<br /><br />While growing up, my siblings and I play outside our home most of the times. Climbing the trees, playing local physical fun games and playing with our toys/dolls kept us amused during our weekends. Those days are so much fun and it gives me a chuckle and warms my heart every time I reminisce my childhood. As time passed by and the world progresses, modern technology unfolds in front of my eyes. I remember playing games on our Family computer where Super Mario bros. is a super hit that time. Even those handheld game consoles didn’t escape the gaming mode in me. Every kid and even adults became crazy over them, yay! I know you do too!<br /><br />And then, cellular phones came out where you can play “Snake” and other seemingly entertaining old school games. Yet again, mobile phones came up with more exciting games in sequence to the development of newer and advanced models. Candy crush (haha) was one of the few games that kept me entertained whilst trying to keep my mind off work.<br /><br />As soon as the world of the Internet came about, heaps of online games sprouted like mushroom and that kept every gamer more excited than usual. Now, we have no more reason not to be entertained if we are feeling a little bored with life.<br /><br />When the pandemic strikes all over the world, majority of us are stuck in our house and that situation alone made many of us stressed. Apart from that, many restrictions of going out and many jobs/businesses are lost. It is understandable that many of us feel mixed emotions during these days, but we can always battle it by doing things that can make us still sane. I’m not surprised anymore when I saw online gamers grew in numbers because my nieces and nephews also jumped in the bandwagon.<br /> </p><p>I even tried my hand to become gardener, baker and even a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/titajen"><b>vlogger</b></a> and these kept me busy for a while during the pandemic.<br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="2048" height="225" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tlKci7dgork/YLWHCrg-5tI/AAAAAAAAKak/AtUFAyVK34gTh2toyxcXwIXAm2UWzHoqgCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h225/gardening.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="400" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Keeping my hands full and dirty while gardening.

It is actually a hospital simulation game where a player will act out as doctors and nurses inside a hospital. The COVID-19 virus must be prevented to spread and when it overloads the game will be over.<br /><br />I got excited and on my toes especially when the viruses multiplies so much that I wasn’t able to sanitize the hospital and some patients went home carrying the virus. Haha.<br /><br />The game was addictive and I need to move past so it will be not game over. These online games can be stress reliever and actually a cheap form of entertainment. There’s no doubt that I will be hooked on games as I need to check out more of the games. What about you have you played online games recently? I know that I will surely find time to give myself a break and do some recreational activity, if not I’ll be one crazy lady.<br /><p></p><br />adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07900873073435715448noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512008796356773434.post-74239946996610267252021-05-21T20:51:00.001+08:002021-05-21T20:54:31.881+08:00Project Karinderya Sparks New Hope for Karinderya Owners Helps Feed Vulnerable Families during the Pandemic<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NnoApa0aunE/YKerMdadSbI/AAAAAAAAKZo/QiqP5hKgvV4jcf9Aq3H7oud-A4t5VhKFQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/project%2Bkarinderya%2B_2.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1364" data-original-width="2048" height="266" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NnoApa0aunE/YKerMdadSbI/AAAAAAAAKZo/QiqP5hKgvV4jcf9Aq3H7oud-A4t5VhKFQCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h266/project%2Bkarinderya%2B_2.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Helping Address Hunger.

She has been operating a karinderya in Batasan, Quezon City for six years now. Her husband lost his job because of the pandemic, and the family of 12 had to rely on Agnes and her karinderya for their daily needs. <br /><br />“<i>’Yung mga anak ko patuloy na nag-aaral kahit pandemic kaya patuloy din ako sa paghahanap-buhay. Nagtulungan kami ng mister ko sa karinderya </i>(My children have to continue with their studies despite the pandemic, which is why I have to continue earning. My husband and I worked together at the karinderya),” she said. <br /><br />Like Agnes, many small businesses were greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Agnes used to make around Php 6,000 to 7,000 per day, but due to strict quarantine protocols and financial challenges brought about by the pandemic, her sales were halved, and she eventually lost some of her customers. <br /><br /> </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-M27e6c4-EOY/YKerkpRMvUI/AAAAAAAAKZw/N5uxwlilQPkh4Ks6aDDaA4nWEpnHaAEiACLcBGAsYHQ/s1280/project%2Bkarinderya%2B_3.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" height="225" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-M27e6c4-EOY/YKerkpRMvUI/AAAAAAAAKZw/N5uxwlilQPkh4Ks6aDDaA4nWEpnHaAEiACLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h225/project%2Bkarinderya%2B_3.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Helping Revive Livelihood. Agnes Gabatbat, one of the karinderya owners
that have benefitted from Project Karinderya, serves a customer in
Batasan, Quezon City. Project Karinderya helps karinderya owners like
Agnes to revive their small businesses after the financial challenges
they suffered from COVID-19 pandemic. Project Karinderya helped revive
Agnes’ livelihood. “Gumanda po ang kita dahil dumami ang customers. Yung
regular benta ko na Php 4,000 ngayong pandemic, nadagdagan ng isang
libo (My sales improved because the customers are increasing. There is
also a thousand increase on my Php 4,000 regular sales during this
pandemic),” she said.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><b>Reviving livelihoods </b><br /><br />To help small business owners like Agnes weather the effects of the global health crisis, Jollibee Group Foundation (JGF) has partnered with Kasagana-Ka Development Center (KDCI) and Kabuhayan sa Ganap na Kasarinlan Credit and Savings Cooperative (KCoop) to assist and re-establish the operations of karinderyas from low-income communities in NCR, Bulacan, Cavite, and Rizal. Every karinderya that is that is part of the program serves meals to 20 families in their community for a period of 30 days.<br /><br />JGF, KDCI, and K-Coop are all part of the COVID-19 Civil Society Sector Organizations & Private Sector Coalition (or NGO Collab), a group of civil society and private sector organizations that have banded together to address the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on varying issues in the Philippines.<br /><br /><i>“Sinabihan po ako ng Kasagana-Ka tungkol sa Project Karinderya. Ako po ay nagpapasalamat dahil napabilang ako sa proyektong ito. Hindi po biro na makasali dito kaya malaking biyaya po ito sa akin </i>(Kasagana-Ka told me about Project Karinderya. I’m very grateful to be included in this project, and this is a huge blessing for me),” said Agnes.<br /><br />Singapore-based Temasek Foundation and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) through the DEG (German Investment Corporation) also recognized the impact of the project and provided grants for the meal subsidy of family beneficiaries.<br /> <p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Qu6Mz6LWydo/YKer7soF3LI/AAAAAAAAKZ4/Lz05mGBK3MUqYR6v5btts1DiNqygojxfQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1133/project%2Bkarinderya%2B_1.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="719" data-original-width="1133" height="254" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Qu6Mz6LWydo/YKer7soF3LI/AAAAAAAAKZ4/Lz05mGBK3MUqYR6v5btts1DiNqygojxfQCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h254/project%2Bkarinderya%2B_1.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Helping Ensure Food Safety and Quality. To help karinderya owners
recover from the effects of the pandemic, as well as keep their
sustainable even after the program, the Jollibee Group Foundation
provided t with trainings on food preparation, food safety, and customer
service.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p><br /><b>Food Safety Training</b><br />JGF provided karinderya owners with trainings on food preparation, food safety, and customer service. “All livelihood programs that we undertake in Jollibee Group Foundation are aimed at addressing the felt-need in communities and empowering beneficiaries so that they become self-sustaining. We have the same goal for Project Karinderya—we aim to help karinderya owners upskill themselves and develop the right mindset of persevering amid this pandemic,” said Jollibee Group Foundation Executive Director Gisela Tiongson.<br /><br />Under the program, karinderya owners and their personnel were also required to wear face masks, face shields, hairnets, and aprons for safety. Karinderyas also used plastic coverings for the dishes and posted a daily menu to help customers choose their preferred food faster and to prevent overcrowding.<br /><br />To ensure that the protocols and practices shared with the karinderya owners were being practiced, Health Cadet volunteers of KDCI visited karinderyas weekly during the project’s implementation to monitor the karinderyas’ compliance to the project guidelines. </p><p><br />“Ngayon pa lang po ako naka-attend ng ganoong seminar. Malaking bagay po ito sa akin dahil marami po akong natutunan dito. Importante po na malinis ang mga pagkain. Kailangan din nating sumunod sa mga protocol tulad ng social distancing (It was my first time attending this kind of seminar and I learned a lot from it, like the importance of food safety and following safety protocols like social distancing),” shared Agnes.<br /><br /><b>Financial help for families in need </b><br /><br />Just like Agnes, Lilia Albario was struggling to make ends meet because her children also lost their jobs during the pandemic. She and her grandchildren are making doormats to earn. But like everyone else, the pandemic made it hard for them to sell and continue with the business. <i>“Wala po kaming masakyan. Naglalakad pa po kami ng malayo para makarating sa palengke at makapagtinda </i>(There was no available transportation. We even walk long miles so we could go the market and sell),” she shared. <br /><br />Through Project Karinderya, financial subsidy in the form of vouchers were given to vulnerable families like Lilia’s. Beneficiaries were given vouchers for 30 days, which they used to claim food from the participating karinderya in their area.<br /><br />To reach the families most deserving of financial help, KDCI, K-Coop, and JGF prioritized families with pregnant and lactating women, those with five kids under 15 years of age, and those with senior citizens and/or disabilities. “We were systematic in choosing the families who would be part of the project because wanted the project to be effective in targeting those most in need of help in the communities,” said K-Coop General Manager Maria Ana de Rosas-Ignacio.<br /><br /><i>“Kaya malaking tulong po sa amin ‘yung Project Karinderya kasi ‘yung naibibigay nila na pang-ulam namin araw-araw ay hindi na po nanggagaling sa aming bulsa (</i>Project Karinderya is a big help because the food given to us every day does not come from our own pockets anymore),<i>”</i> Lilia said, adding that the food served is nutritious, with a mix of vegetables and meat.<br /><br />As of February 2021, the partnership has served 30-day meal subsidies in the form of meal vouchers to 4,600 families through 230 karinderyas in Metro Manila and neighboring provinces.<br /><br />Organizations who would like to support or replicate the project may get in touch with the NGO Collab secretariat at <b>covid19phresponse@gmail.com.</b></p><p><b> *******</b></p><p><b>About Jollibee Group Foundation<br /></b>As the social development arm of Jollibee Group, the Jollibee Group Foundation implements programs on agriculture, education, and disaster response with partner communities nationwide.<br /><br /><b>About Jollibee Group</b><br />Jollibee Group is one of the fastest-growing Asian restaurant companies in the world.

Besides allegedly triggering high blood pressure, insomnia, and hyperacidity, the Filipino habit of adding lots of sugar and cream to one’s cup has been said to aggravate diabetes.<br /><br />While there’s no denying the Pinoy coffee fan his morning cup, there is concern over the amount of sugar present in commercial 3-in-1 coffee mixes. The leading brand has 14.6 grams of sugar in one 20-gram sachet alone. Imagine how much sugar you’re taking in if you drink an average of three cups of coffee a day.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mVjyIXcEqPg/YJASs5-pHBI/AAAAAAAAKX4/Ogjs97Y7n4w1VSH1xEpnQPfEZWoZ3muVACLcBGAsYHQ/s722/coffee.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="722" data-original-width="722" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mVjyIXcEqPg/YJASs5-pHBI/AAAAAAAAKX4/Ogjs97Y7n4w1VSH1xEpnQPfEZWoZ3muVACLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h400/coffee.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><b>What About Sugar-Free Coffee?</b><br /><br />For health-conscious individuals, especially diabetics, turning to sugar-free coffee mixes seems to be the only option. This meant enduring tasteless cups of coffee just to satisfy their caffeine fix —until Stevia came along.<br /><br />Stevia is the low calorie, zero sugar sweetener that tastes so much better than artificial sweeteners. <br /><br />Stevia is an herb with a sweet-tasting extract that comes from the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant. It has been enjoyed since pre-Columbian South America where indigenous people used the herb to sweeten their tea and other drinks. <br /><br />The plant's taste stems from steviol glycosides, molecules which are 250–300 times sweeter than regular sugar. <br /><br />It became popular among health-conscious individuals because stevia has a very low caloric content. This makes it perfect for dieters and people who are trying to lose weight. <br />Moreover, Stevia makes coffee and tea taste so much better without adding any calories. <br />Aside from beverages, Stevia is also used as an alternative sweetener when cooking or baking.<br /><b><br />The Health Advantages of Stevia</b><br /><br />Stevia is a safe, healthy sugar substitute that can sweeten up food without the negative health effects of refined sugar. It’s also associated with several impressive benefits such as reduced calorie intake, managed blood sugar levels, and minimized risk of cavities.<br /><br />Additionally, while other sugar substitutes like Aspartame have been linked with cancer, there's no evidence linking stevia to cancer since it is a natural ingredient.<br />This means you can add stevia to dishes and drinks without fear that you’re taking too much sugar, or that you’ll get sick a few years down the road.<br /><br />For coffee lovers, it’s also good to note that locally-made Glorious Blend coffees and instant beverages have Stevia as its natural sweetener. The blend of natural and healthful ingredients make the drink not only refreshing and safe, but also good for one’s overall health.<br /><br />The Glorious Blend boasts a full line of healthy drinks, including a 7-in-1 healthy coffee mix. This special blend is made with proven medicinal ingredients like Malunggay, Mangosteen, Calcium, Gotu Kola, and sweetened with Sweet &amp; Fit Stevia. What’s even better is that the Glorious Blend 7in1 Coffee is non-acidic and promotes regular bowel movement. <br /><br />The Glorious line-up also includes the 3-in-1 coffee mix with Stevia; 7-in-1 choco mix; 4-in-1 coffee with Malunggay; 5-in-1 coffee mix with Brown Rice; and the MaxiTrim coffee. <br /><br />All Glorious Blend beverages use Stevia which has no calories, no carbohydrates, and zero glycemic index. All of their instant drinks will keep you alert and energized throughout the day. <br />Also, Glorious Blend products are locally sourced and manufactured. Their company supports local farmers, stevia growers, and other agricultural communities.<br /><br />So if you’ve been cutting back on drinking coffee because of health problems like diabetes or hyper acidity, Glorious Blend coffee mixes are here to help.

Giving your baby up may seem like a cruel option, but you are giving him or her the chance to find loving, attentive parents who are ready to expand their family through adoption. If you are considering giving your baby up, you should plan to go through a grieving process, but here are three tips to help you cope.</p>
<h2><strong>Research Adoption Agencies</strong></h2>
<p>The adoption agency you choose to use is in charge of placing your baby with the right family, so make sure you trust the people who are helping you. Research the <a href="https://www.uniqueadoptions.com/birthmothers/">best adoption agency for birthmothers</a> before making the decision to put your baby up for adoption.</p>
<h2><strong>Choose the Right Family Carefully</strong></h2>
<p>In many cases, you can choose the family you want to place your baby with. You can meet with the prospective parents and ask questions to determine if you think they will be the right family for your baby. Knowing how they plan to raise your child and seeing how much they want to become parents may help set your mind at ease.</p>
<h2><strong>Find a Support Group</strong></h2>
<p>There are other people who understand exactly how you feel when you give your baby up for adoption. Unless people close to you have had the same experience, they can't know how you feel and won't be the best form of support, so it is important to find a <a href="https://birthmotherthoughts.com/life-after-adoption/birth-parent-support-groups-and-resources/">support group online</a> to help you with the grieving process.</p>
<p>Resuming life after giving a baby up for adoption is hard. It is important to take the right steps before and after the birth of your baby to prepare yourself for giving him or her up. These three tips can help you navigate the process.</p>
