Father and Sons

Holidays for regular hours employees of normal-routine companies fully enjoy their holiday vacations or what they call long weekends, whenever there is.

The usual two days rest in these cases become three up to five days of a break.  When this happens, employees have a hard time sometimes of getting back to work that they even extend their vacation due to hangover.  They feel like it is indeed great to have a vacation and they wish it is ceaseless.

To solve this vacation hangover, the following are some tips to do:

1. Set your mind to the date of return from vacation.  Tell yourself this will only last until this certain day, that you have to program your mind to it.

2. Do not prolong your vacation much, if not necessary, and this implies that you need a day of rest from those days of vacation.  Then you would not need an extra day to rest from such hangover.

3. Motivate yourself to get up and stay in focus the moment you return to work.  Face the reality that the vacation is finished.

Vacation hangover is easy to solve – you just need to work it out starting with your mind.

There are some individuals who are unreasonably loyal to branded mpc fly , upscale items in the market.  Some of them do not as a matter of fact belong to high society, and whose income are not considerably high yet they allot a big portion of their pennies to go to those overpriced bags, shoes, clothing, accessories, etc.

Well they are probably just authentic fiends of those costly things because it has been their obsession which is difficult yet posible to change.  And they may be obsessed because of the social status that these items project whenever they use one.

Having been commended that one is able to buy such expensive things may give a person a feeling of satisfaction, a feeling that implies he has an edge over others.  It gives them such a pride.

Or, they may have preferred them over the other cheaper brands because of its quality.  They may claim that they are willing to pay the price as long as the product is worth it, as long as it is excellent.

Whatever it is, the obsession to branded items is not much of a disease but a normal behavior that some people may exhibit.

Let’s admit it.  Love is not the number one reason why a Filipina marries a foreigner.  Hurtful to accept but they all have another agenda other than settling down.

To summarize the top two, here they are:

The Promise of Money.  Okay, this may not be literal that the foreign man will vow that he gives you all his money but come on, that’s for one reason that attracted you to decide for a future with him.  It is given – he does not have to say it because Filipinas assume that it shall form part of it. Then they will accept that once they became wives of these foreigners, money will be easy.

The Opportunity to Live in Another Country for Good. Some Filipinas dream of leaving their homeland in exchange of an entirely greener pasture on some place that is why they marry foreigners – to have  a better chance of living in another country for good.

They would rather have their lucks with someone they hardly know, provided that this will promise them their dreams.

I conducted a simple survey among several acquaintances and friends my age asking them what household chore they detest, and 90 percent provided a common reply – washing the dishes.

Silently snorting on the thought, I mused on the possible reasons washing the dishes was named such as I heard it from them.

I suddenly relate to it as my siblings and I used to fight about who was assigned to the washing of the dishes after every meal. How we wish we can just use disposable utensils all the time.

We all hate cleaning up the leftovers on the plates, sinking the utensils to the discolored water, and smelling our hands of mixed food stench.  We all hate the greasy cookware and the sponges full of stain, and the effect it has on our bare hands.  They feel sticky and we dislike it. This is the part of dishwashing that make us hate the chore in general.

Plates stacked up in the kitchen is an annoying view and with it being seen, we are taken to the household chore that we dislike but we just have to endure doing.

If you haven’t thought of this fully or completely while you were in earlier high school life, it is time now.  If you are a graduating high school student, more or less you are already oriented on how to choose carefully a degree you will take and finish without stopping, in college.

Here are things you need to think about.

YOUR INTEREST. For sure there is one or two interest of yours that you also want to be your profession someday.  So first, think about what you really like to do in life that will get you enthusiastic each day when you are already working.

YOUR ABILITY. Sometimes, your interests may not match with your abilities.  Consider too the extent of what you can do but don’t misunderstood this for limiting yourself.  You can always do more than you are able to do right now as you grow old with more experiences.  But as of the moment, make your ability advise you what course you can take and study capably in college.

YOUR BUDGET. Surely if you are determined enough, you can always find a way.  However, we also want to make sure we will find it so difficult when we can choose something of less hardship.  Choose a course that you like but is within your budget.  If you’re dying to take a course that requires so much money, you may do it at least after your first degree.

Definitely, watching news and current affairs must be a habit of everyone.  It is like a staple food that all dining tables should serve in every meal.

Being updated to the things happening around us must be everybody’s business, as we all live in the same planet and in one way or another, are affected by these occurences.  Thus watching news is really significant.

Since there are many ways to know about the latest events in any part of the globe, individuals must maximize these.  Having no TV in your rented space is not an excuse for you can take a chance of knowing it through papers or reading it yourself through the internet.  You probably would hunger to know more once you hear some news or so through word of mouth.  Your tendency then is to find a way to really know about the news.

It pays indeed to watch the news and current affairs not only because you want to know some rumors but on top of it, you want to be a concerned citizen.

The trending gadgets, tablets, have several uses, one of which is the “notes” which seemed to replace the traditional pen and notebooks we used to utilize back then along with class rings online.

Yes, not almost everyone owns one, so there still remain users of notebooks for sure.  Owners use their tablets for the purposes of jotting notes while listening to a speaker in certain conventions, or typing some reminders and other to-do lists.  Pen and paper are eradicated and tablets reign king for these types of users.  The notes they made was saved electronically for future reference, something that they can also always take with them anytime with convenience.

But the scenario back then was really pen and paper as partners, wherein individuals write down everything they learn from a speaker, and list down their activities and the like.  There are actually several size choices for the traditional notebooks and for sure they can fit in well in one’s bag too with convenience.

But then, the modern days call forth more and more chances to exchange all the traditional stuffs to the technological ones.

This could be the solution to your disheveled hair.  Shampoo alone is not enough because its main purpose is to actually clean your hair and scalp like a soap does to the body.  Hence it has also been a necessity in hair care to include conditioner to your daily hair routines.

Conditioners are effective in providing that shine or brilliance and softness to your hair all day.  It makes it manageable, easy to comb, and bouncy too.  Cuticle coats are applied on damp or dry hair like an oil to make it appear glossier and more straight.  This is applied as often as possible to maintain manageability too that lessens the need to comb it again.

But of course, combing often still compliments these two and will make your hair almost perfect. If you have that rebonded hair and you want it to remain that straight and attractive all the time, the solution does not depend on your conditioner and cuticle coat use.  You need to comb it as often as possible so you’ll have the results you target for your hair.

Well it actually has a cure but mannerisms when have been a part of your personality becomes uncontrollable.

Mannerisms are defined as small movements or gestures that a person subconsciously do.  This is exhibited with some emotions – tired, bored, nervous, upset, etc.  When a person does it very frequently and continuous, they become bothersome that you want to put an end to it.

Some mannerisms which I have noticed in some people I know are clearing throats even when there is no saliva to swallow, clicking fingernails, clicking pens on and off which will irritate you when taking exams in a very silent place and cracking knuckles like all the bones are in danger of breaking.  Others are drumming fingers which sounds noisy when heard repeatedly, rubbing beards or mustaches as if you’re always pondering on something and running your fingers through your hair that you don’t stop even when it is extremely straight already.

I have also seen some people scratching some part of the body fro time to time which looks weird and running tongue along the teeth which seems a turn-off.  Some tug on their ears like it’s itchy even when it is not and let’s not forget twirling hair around fingers which makes one look insane.

Anyway, this is a behavioral condition that also needs understanding.

I was scheduled for an appointment with a surgeon for the procedure incision and drainage to finally stop the pain I’m suffering from in my boils.

To my dismay, I arrived at the clinic only to be given the news that the surgeon cannot come so I ranted quietly.  Honestly, I was so annoyed that i happened without them advising me of any change of schedule as I am the patient.  Unfortunately when I asked the attendant why i was not given any call or message, I looked at his records and saw that the last digit of my number was wrong.

Could it be any frustrating?

With this I wanted to whine but I still managed to keep calm although my voice sounded irritated.  I couldn’t just complain about it so I simply advised the attendant to set another appointment for me and be sure to call me for any update.

Well however I behaved is a product of me as patient in pain and the disappointment resulting from their lack of ways to inform the patient of the changes in appointment.

I wish I did not react the way I did but I was just carried away by my annoyance.
