Avoid them at all costs May 20, 2012
Have you ever been in this situation? Well If ever, I hope this helps.
How to Avoid People You Dislike
1. Make sure you do not want to be friends with this person anymore, it is good to break a friendship that you do not value.
2. The second step to avoiding someone is to not hang around them for too long. When they walk up to you and start a conversation, make an excuse such as “I have to use the restroom” and walk away from them. Don’t look back as you walk off.
3. Do not make eye contact with the person. If they feel you are ignoring them they will eventually leave.
4. When they call you, ignore them. And if they ask why you didn’t answer, say you were working or asleep.
5. Hang out with different people. If you stop hanging out with this person, then they’ll get the hint pretty fast.
6. Avoid the places they’re likely to go to. If you’re avoiding this person for a reason other than that you don’t want to be friends with them, then avoid places that you think they would go to. They will definitely stop speaking to you after doing that.
Additional Tips :
- Never admit that you hate them. No matter how much they annoy you.
- Don’t give them any reason to think that you want to be their friend.
- Hang out with people that they don’t know so that they feel awkward.
- Try to set up a situation where you don’t have to see them very often, if you don’t see them often to begin with, you won’t have to spend as much effort trying to avoid them.
- If an ex friend exhibits creepy behavior, do not be afraid to call him/her in front of others but remain calm, cool, and collective. For example, instead of “You are so creepy. Stop staring at me!” say “Is there something that I can help you with?” The second approach would be to put the person in a state of shock and get him/her off your back.

I checked, and my 30th birthday falls on a Saturday next year. Hehehe.
Now, how would I want to spend it? They say you can decide to “mourn the death” of your childhood or you can celebrate your life, who you are and all your accomplishments. Thirty is still young and exciting. You have much to look forward to. There is much to be proud of on your 30th birthday. For starters, you can be proud of your fantastic self and celebrate your womanhood. Here are some suggestions. Read it here.
1. Do Extreme Sports.

3. Romantic Evening.
4. Pamper yourself.
5. Start a Hobby.

It’s getting hot in here April 27, 2011
Yesterday was considered as the hottest day so for this year in the Philippines at 36.1 degrees Celcius, could this be a result of global warming?
Many things cause global warming. One thing that causes global warming is electrical pollution. Electricity causes pollution in many ways, some worse than others.
Some other examples of using energy and polluting the air are:
- Turning on a light
- Watching T.V.
- Listening to a stereo
- Washing or drying clothes
- Using a hair dryer
- Riding in a car
- Heating a meal in the microwave
- Using an air conditioner
- Playing a video game
- Using a dish washer

4 Reasons you are “fake hungry” December 22, 2009
I’ve stumbled upon this from yahoo. Good read especially for myself.
http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/health/4-reasons-you-are-quot-fake-hungry-quot-555792/
Our appetites can be quite the pranksters. It often fools us to think we are hungry, when often, we may be suffering from something completely different. Distinguishing between false hunger and true hunger will help you know when your body really needs food and when it needs something else.
1. Hunger Due to Eating the Wrong Food: Symptoms include craving high sugar foods or feeling “hungry” soon after eating a meal. If you just had a big meal that is high in simple carbohydrates and did not contain fiber, protein or healthy fat, all of which help provide a sense of satiety, you may have experienced a drop in blood sugar. In this case, have a healthy snack, such as a piece of fresh fruit and nuts, or cottage cheese or celery and peanut butter or 1/2 of a sandwich on whole grain bread).
2. Emotional Hunger: Sometimes, our appetites can go haywire when we are experiencing boredom, fear, anxiety, stress or loneliness. Try taking a walk, journaling, listening to some favorite music, calling a friend or chewing a piece of mint gum instead. Read a book, go to a “safe place” like a library or museum or park where you will not be tempted to overeat or distracted by food. Take a bath, meditate, or think about what REALLY would satisfy you, vs. eating to stuff down emotions you do not want to confront.
3. Hunger Due to Sleepiness: Experts at http://www.webmd.com/ state that two major hormones, leptin and ghrelin, affect and control sensations of hunger and fullness. Ghrelin stimulates appetite, while leptin, made in fat cells, alerts the brain that you have had enough to eat. Lack of sleep causes a significant drop in leptin levels as well as an increase in ghrelin levels, a so called double whammy for appetite control and feelings of satiety. Daytime fatigue may lead people to overeat (often, high sugar, nutrient poor foods) in an attempt to get an extra surge of energy. This is equivalent to placing a Band-Aid on the true problem. It provides only temporary relief, which is soon followed by a crash in energy levels and a resurgence of “hunger” leading to more snacking, increased sugar cravings, etc….a vicious cycle. If you are feeling mid-afternoon hunger pains, try: a brisk 10 min walk around the block (fresh air helps, as does exercise, to boost alertness and increase circulation), a cup of green tea (high in antioxidants and low in caffeine relative to coffee), a 1/4 cup of almonds and a small apple (high in protein, healthy fat and carbohydrates, low in sugar, and a good source of magnesium and fiber). Even taking a few deep breaths can help curb fatigue!
4. Hunger Due to Thirst: We often mistake thirst for hunger. Try drinking a glass or two of water to identify whether you are truly hungry or just slightly dehydrated, in which case water is the perfect antidote!
When you are really experiencing true hunger, however, it is pretty clear to identify. For instance, a growling stomach will cause us to be cranky and unfocused…until we get some food, that is! If it has been four hours since your last meal or snack, you may well be truly hungry. Don’t ignore true hunger…doing so may exacerbate it and cause you to overeat to compensate for the missed calories. It is important to eat regularly and consistently to keep energy levels elevated and avoid dips in blood sugar. Try to include fruits and vegetables at each meal and snack, along with some protein (cheese, beans, lean meat/poultry/fish) and some healthy fat (avocado, olives, nuts, oil). This whole foods approach will help keep you at a healthy weight and lessen the likelihood for emotional hunger to rear its head!

Columbine Shooter’s Mom Speaks Out October 15, 2009
Mrs. Klebold, after 10 years, finally agrees on an interview regarding the day her son Dyllan and his friend Eric. I’ve read about this a few years back while surfin about the Virginia Tech Massacre got intrigued and read the entire details in wikipedia.
Here’s the article from O, Oprah’s Magazine:
Since the day her son participated in the most devastating high school shooting America has ever seen, I have wanted to sit down with Susan Klebold to ask her the questions we’ve all wanted to ask—starting with “How did you not see it coming?” and ending with “How did you survive?” Over the years, Susan has politely declined interview requests, but several months ago she finally agreed to break her silence and write about her experience for O. — Oprah
Read excerpts right here, and find the complete story in the November 2009 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine, on newsstands now.
The day of the tragedy
“Early on April 20, I was getting dressed for work when I heard Dylan bound down the stairs and open the front door. Wondering why he was in such a hurry when he could have slept another 20 minutes, I poked my head out of the bedroom. ‘Dyl? ‘ All he said was ‘Bye.’ The front door slammed, and his car sped down the driveway. His voice had sounded sharp. I figured he was mad because he’d had to get up early to give someone a lift to class. I had no idea that I had just heard his voice for the last time.”
On suicide
“Dylan’s participation in the massacre was impossible for me to accept until I began to connect it to his own death. Once I saw his journals, it was clear to me that Dylan entered the school with the intention of dying there. And so in order to understand what he might have been thinking, I started to learn all I could about suicide.”
If my research has taught me one thing, it’s this: Anyone can be touched by suicide. But for those who are feeling suicidal or who have lost someone to suicide, help is available—through resources provided by nonprofits like the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, and the American Association of Suicidology.
On depression
“From the writings Dylan left behind, criminal psychologists have concluded that he was depressed and suicidal. When I first saw copied pages of these writings, they broke my heart. I’d had no inkling of the battle Dylan was waging in his mind.”
Looking ahead
“For the rest of my life, I will be haunted by the horror and anguish Dylan caused. I cannot look at a child in a grocery store or on the street without thinking about how my son’s schoolmates spent the last moments of their lives. Dylan changed everything I believed about myself, about God, about family, and about love.”
