Just the way it is...

Over time I've wondered what symbol I portrayed in this picture is called.

Now I know... its FOCUS.

How dumb of me to have not even realized it when I, myself own a gadget that features such thing. Lack of concentration? Yes... maybe!

But I'm sure I'm not the only one who's guilty of such trouble. But should we lose hope? We better not.

Not all solutions to what we perceived as tough problem are as hard to find or do.

Take a look at this article - "20 Ridiculously Easy Ways to improve your focus in 3 days". You may find it helpful.

I just came to think... what if one day I woke up and find myself doing something else instead of turning my PC on first hour in the morning? What if I'll get to realize one day that blogging is no longer a passion? Do you also somehow think of the same thing?

Well, as of this moment I can tell that I am still about a hundred percent passionate to blogging although there are some instances that keeps me from updating my blogs regularly. Being a sensitive person that I am I get destructed way easy. I don't know but focus and creative thinking have been and still remains an issue for me up until now. If I find a hard time constructing a post about a certain subject at times while I feel okay how much more if I am bothered and uninspired?

But I'm just a three year old blogger. I'm sure there's still way more things to learn ahead.

I usually don't like meals that are served in hospitals. Do you? To me they all look the same... tasteless!

But not the tray full of mouthwatering food and dessert (with lower cholesterol I hope) served to us daily at Bishop Regan's Memorial Hospital last week. My sister was in awe to have held the first tray we had (with beef ampalaya or bitter mellon, steamed veggies with butter, crispy chicken pops, rice that's roughly good for two with fresh fruit salad for dessert) and drop jawed she was like "are we sure we are in a hospital?"

"Well we are paying for a suite room accommodation and services so that's probably the reason why" was all I could say.

Our patient don't each much so there's always enough left for both of us. Imagine the savings we have had there.

Not all hospitals offer the same satisfactory service so thumbs up to BRMH for excellently serving us and for providing our needs.

I been blogging for three years and up until today I still find it hard dealing with distractions and interruptions (loud music, kids running around, ear-splitting voice, power interruption, crawling internet connection and etcetera).

I was off for four days last week when I accompanied my niece to the hospital and somewhere from those days I tried using the internet cafe for a supposed quick update but I just ended up staring on a blank screen after talking to JK as the kids around got so ecstatic with the games they played making all the noise intolerable so I just walked out my way back to the hospital instead. Gee, I should have learned how to deal with distractions by now. Sadly, I'm not. (Sigh!) When will that time be?

It is obviously the reason why I was away from blogging for days. I understand my sister's fear of going to the hospital alone so I didn't hesitate when she asked me to come along.

This poor little girl suffered non-stop fever last week and so we brought her to the hospital to get checked. On the second day of her confinement, her doctor confirmed that she's positive of Dengue virus. However and wherever she got it from...we don't know. Good thing the symptoms she had aren't that bad. Her platelet count dropped once but it dramatically went back to normal after the third test.

Worried and all but I still managed to take pictures of us while in the hospital room. Here are some of them...

there's Jam

there's the niece and the Tita moment

and there's my sister Joyce and a glimpse of our room

Still having the much needed rest at home but the girl is at least now gaining back her strength. Thanks to God.

As we grow old, our skin ages too and that is a fact. While the aging skin is known to many as wrinkles or fine lines to some, skin experts call it "photo damaged skin". The loss of collagen is what leads to the thinning skin that causes the skin to damage.

It is also an obvious fact that more and more women are out seeking for what they believe is the best anti-aging products from the leading drugstores. But are they really enough?

Most scientific skin care companies now uses Matrixyl - a trademark name for palmitoyl pentapeptide-3, one of the powerful peptide molecules found in the latest generation of high-end anti wrinkle skin care products.

It works at a DNA level of the skin. It helps to counteract this natural part of the aging process and immediately initiate the reversal of the signs of aging. Even a 6-month clinical trial has it - women who had used Matrixyl® experienced dramatic results.

Matrixyl® is also the key ingredient in Dermajuv plus all their skin care products are 100% Paraben-free.

Remember that Paraben issue before? A proven effective preservation ingredient found in most skin care products and the said risk it does to our skin and body. Although there had been no compelling evidence raised between the link of some sort of cancers and Paraben from the Science experts, some people still prefer to take the safer side and settle with Paraben free yet a little expensive like Dermajuv products instead of being sorry in the end.

Well, as for me, aside from the fact that I don't find it necessary, I am also definitely not ready to try any of these commercial skin care and beauty products as of yet. I'd rather prefer the natural ways of maintaining a healthy looking skin. But who knows? I may find it essential along the way!
