101 Ways to Cope with Stress at Work School or Home
Just in case you haven’t noticed yet. Life is painfully stressful. If you don’t have enough support system that tells you that it’s okay to slow down and give yourself a break. However, that’s not the case in Brett Phillips’ psychology class. Alina Ramirez, a high school senior in California, one of his students, shared a handout new students received from Mr. Philips titled “101 Ways to Cope with Stress.” It’s a solid list of ways to relieve stress that is useful if you’re aged 5 or 75. See: 9 Signs You’re Stressed and Don’t Know It The list has been going viral on the internet. It’s a wonderful help for students but…
Personal Musings: Purpose Driven Life
First and foremost, let me ask you this. Why do you do what you do? Before I start blogging my backlogs I decided to warm up by writing another personal musing. Let’s do a round-up of what I’m currently doing (you can try and make yours too): Being a mom Being a girlfriend Blogging Wrestling Weightlifting Each has its own sub-category that branches out into further detail. Most of the time I stay at home with a regular routine of waking up, bring my son to school, work, gym, fetch him, go home. When there are certain events that I choose to go to, I go out to Manila. I do wrestling on some…
Beauty and Beyond: Getting Out of an Abusive Relationship
Being beautiful is not just having good skin, wearing the most expensive makeup, or having a sexy body. Beauty is also how we feel about ourselves. Are we confident? Are we loved? Are we happy? I thought the physical aspects were enough. When you’re suffering an internal turmoil, people can see through you; your soul, your vibe, your suffering. A woman is not at her best beautiful when she is troubled. This is my story on how I escaped an abusive relationship, the warning (and obvious signs) that you or someone you know needs help. Whew. I’m not sure if most of you have noticed me posting pictures, with another guy, finally happy.…
How to Whiten Skin
This post was written 4 years ago in order to show the progression of my skin complexion from being a morena to a mestiza. I’ve used several skin whitening products in the past from skin whitening soaps, whitening creams, whitening lotions, and even whitening supplements that I’ve made reviews on all of them (located at the end of the post). As a disclaimer, not everyone wishes to have a fair complexion, just like not everyone desires to be tan. To each his/her own. 🙂 I got inspired by the thread from Soompi where people are posting their pictures when they wear an “ugly duckling” then they bloomed to become such beautiful swans. I…
Of Karma, Good Juju and Making Things Right
Yes it’s beer. There are times you would ask yourself. “Why do things don’t work out they way we want them to be” no matter how hard you try, or how much you want it. Juju : A gypsy’s word for luck. Good juju can stem from almost any good deed: saving a kitten, or returning a lost book. Bad juju can be spread just as easily. Oh and while you’re at it, try to play and listen to this while reading this blog post :} Failures. My cousin and I were having a conversation this evening about how surrounding ourselves with negative vibes affects the present and future. Negativity doesn’t exist only…
