Our Height !!!

It is no secret that we become shorter as we grow older. The last time I've visited my primary care Doctor was in the middle of this year. When I was measured with my height, I've lost half inches !!! In fact, a recent study of men and women between the ages of 30 and 70 shows that men lose an average of 1.25 inches while women lose nearly 2 inches in stature. Why does this happen? The bone thinning disease known as osteoporosis is the biggest cause of height loss. To begin with, aging bones become thinner, less dense, and more porous. As a result, the spine becomes more susceptible to micro fractures in the vertebrae, which shortens the spine. To counter these effects, I've engage back in some form of weight-bearing exercises which I've mentioned in one of my blog topics. Also, I'll probably wear more high hill shoes !!!!

Our ESL professor

It was a great opportunity for me and my classmates to have met an ESL professor who did a great job as our teacher. Although he seems to have a hectic schedules, he showed concern to our needs as his students. He understood our need to learn and was patient to our shortcomings. He had given us a chance to make-up for unfinished task. These are some of the reasons why we like him.We hope to see him next semester.

Christmas Season

This is the time were people all over the world celebrate this occasion.Most people think of buying gifts for their love ones. This is the time that I noticed most mankind have a spirit of giving. A joyous occasion for everyone. Christmas is for the rich and poor. For the rich, they share their blessings and for the poor they receive blessings.I've heard from some people that Christmas is a commercial tradition. This is definitely true if we focus our attention on gifts alone and not the real meaning of Christmas. Christmas is a time for family reunions...but most especially the reason for this season was the birth of Christ. There was no confirmation when he was born but this is the time to remember the birth of Christ.The love of God to mankind was given to us through his son, Jesus Christ.A BLESSED CHRISTMAS TO ALL !!!!

Marriage and Money

Last Sunday noontime, my family and I attended a wedding of my husband's cousin who live in Stamford. The honeymoon is over for the bride and groom. Now it's home to happily ever after- and bills, bills, bills...How they handle money at the beginning of their marriage can have an enormous impact on the rest of their lives together; or their lives not together. I got some tips good for married couple.
Pay off the wedding expenses ASAP. The longer debts lingers, the more it prevents them from accomplishing what they really want to build a prosperous future. Develop a bill-paying system that works. It doesn't really matter whether both agree to put all the bills into the same shoe box, or use the latest internet banking, as long as both have a system that keeps the bills paid on time. Come up with a specific dollar amount for purchases that are so big the couple has to discuss and agree together. Below that amount, each can spend the money without asking. It's easier to make the household money work if both partners are committed to the same ideal. I hope I've shared some important information about money matters.

Our Hands

Consider our own hands for a moment, appreciating what they can do.We wash our faces, brush our teeth, comb our hair, dress us in the morning,get us something to eat or drink, open the door, and generally get us through the day. Perhaps we have used tools, hammered a nail, changed a tire, cut paper or fabric and shoveled snow. In school we put up our hands to get the teacher's attention, we wrote homework, papers and exams. Our hands have driven a car, picked up phone, opened a book, turned pages of a newspaper, knocked on a door, lighted a match, turned on a light. Most have clicked the mouse on a computer. All have counted money and signed our names on our checks.
Our hands have made possible much of the richness and variety in our lives. Hands folded in prayer serve as a reminder that, no matter what lies ahead, we have had so many blessings from God.

Collectibles

What does it mean when we say " Oh that's a collectible!!". One time I've watched a TV show about knowing the appraised value of peoples stuffs. I've learned that things in the past that we have sometimes taken for granted were of great value. Imagine the toys, card, coins, lampshades, household furnitures, paintings, cars etc...can be collectible items. We just have to discover what brand items are collectibles. Let's gather our treasures in our attic or in our basement. Who knows, we might have stored collectibles that is of great value.

My Supervisor

My supervisor at work is like my age. She has been my supervisor for the past five years. So basically I know her moments. We disagree sometimes but afterwards we understand each other point of view. She is a good listener to everyone. We can even tell our personal matters to her. As far as I know, when she asked me for help and it's not part of my job,I would help her. The only thing I feel bad about her is that when her boss will pressure her for work stuffs, she will start putting it on us. Then I would tell her "calm down". I hope she will learn to calm down during hectic times.
