Ohhh..Stomach Pains!

It is still fresh in my memory how I suffered from a series of stomach pains two years ago because of gallstones and bile acid reflux. In fact, the pain was so overwhelming that I even underwent an operation (removed my gallbladder).

So, how do you diagnose yourself every time you feel your stomach hurting? A simple test will do whether you are suffering from excessive stomach acid or not. This can be done by swallowing a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice.

If the said vinegar or lemon juice takes the pain away, then it means your stomach has too little acid in it. If it makes the pain worse, then you have a very acidic stomach. Mind you, the pain is very excruciating...(well, I even preferred to undergo birth labor than acid reflux pain).

Stomach acidity performs at its best when a person is stressed. Another thing, taking aspirin and steroids could contribute to the formation of acid in the stomach. Alcohol consumption as well as heavy smoking could also be a great factor.

It's Getting BER.

The months ending in ber are finally making their grand entrance today (haha!) with September on the lead. Well, what do you get out of that? You see, it's an indication that the cold weather is about to set forth again and every time I think about cold weather, there's only one word that I never fail to associate with... CHRISTMAS!

Hmmm....what would be the Christmas season be like nowadays? That remains to be seen. And for the meantime, I will be having a great countdown to my birthday, which will be next month. Waaaaahhh!!!

Microwaving Her Baby

This 28 year old lady made no reaction whatsoever when the jury declared her guilty of burning her month-old baby girl in the microwave oven sometime in 2005. Her name is China Arnold, and she could be sentenced to death since the jurors refused the defense on her attorney's claims that someone else was responsible. Her fate would be decided come Tuesday as the jury would meet once again to hear evidences on the death-penalty phase of the case.

China was having arguments with her boyfriend back then and placed baby Paris on the microwave to burn because she was afraid the boyfriend might learn that the baby wasn't his.

It really makes me sick to my stomach learning such deed and for me it is unforgivable. Isn't it? It's not the baby's fault, why does she be the one to suffer?

Tired of Annoying Callers?

I have my fair share of experiences on annoying callers. Most of these callers are from various credit card companies making follow up calls on payments, introducing new offers and promos, etc. While they may be tolerable at first, but their persistent calls could really get into you, right?

Well, these callers were not just from credit card companies. There are those who are from various telemarketing businesses, while others are just plain nosy people who are looking for phone pals. There are telemarketers who insensitively won't get tired of calling you again and again making annoying promotions of their products.

Well, for us to be aware of annoying telemarketers or callers, there's a website called AnnoyingCallers.com which discloses the unending list of phone numbers these annoying people called from. They have a great stock of information about those particular numbers which were used by the annoying callers and at the same time, one can also share his or her experiences and submit the phone numbers to the site. They have a search box for you to inquire about whether the phone number that has been bugging you is in their list, and get further details of such number.

How To Wake Up Early

Waking up early is one hard task for me because I usually sleep late at night, not to mention the waking intervals that I make just to feed my little boys their milk. But I have to get up as early as 5:30 am during weekdays because my daughter would be late for school if I don't wake her up before 5:45am.

Anyways, I was amused with some alarm clocks I found which are somehow insistent in waking one up during the mornings. Take for instance the Tyrant Alarm Clock - - it coordinates with your cellphone and the contact lists. Every time the alarm rings for three minutes and you still haven't woken up, it will dial a random number from your cellphone. Well, in that case, you may never wake up through the alarm clock but you would certainly be awaken by the call of your friends or whoever asking why you call at such an early time. Then there's the Alarm Puzzle Clock - - which shoots four puzzle pieces right to you and the only way to shut it off is to put back the pieces together. Well, that would be an imperfect way to start a day, picking up the pieces and putting them together. In that case, you might need a strong cup of coffee afterwards (haha!).

Another clock that would get you rolling for the day is the Shape Up Alarm Clock - - and it would let you make thirty repetitions to shut it off because it has no snooze. Oh my, what a strenuous way to start the day indeed!, although on second thought, it gives a great motivation for weight watchers like me.

Wanna wake up with the wrong foot? These clocks surely would wake you up in no time. And to do that, better have a good night sleep beforehand.

Fave Hollywood Lines

I admit I am very fond of Hollywood movies, and I take good pleasure watching them. Especially the romantic comedy films, they simply make me feel good. One movie that I consider an all-time favorite is "A Walk To Remember", a touching love story that melted my heart. "Jamie saved my life. She taught me everything. About life, hope and the long journey ahead. I'll always miss her. But our love is like the wind. I can't see it, but I can feel it.", how could I ever forget these lines from Shane West? It definitely did made me teary-eyed.

But one famous line which I think has clicked through the crowd is "After all... I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her." Sounds familiar?, it surely is! This is spoken by Julia Roberts in the movie Notting Hill. The words are just simple but had a great effect.

It is not imperative that creating an effect to the opposite sex is only through good looks. Spoken words also make an impression and somewhat affects the personality of a person. Romantic and amazing lines could also make someone turn on.

Well, at the Ultimate Flirting Championship organized by Extreme Style by VO5, using just the right words would definitely take you to achieving Victory Hair. These famous Hollywood lines would work, coupled with the application of those great flirting tips and tricks they offered while playing the game.

So, for an enjoyable and romantic day, why not take part on the Ultimate Flirting Championship to start off your week and see for yourself what those Hollywood lines are made of.

Have a great week!
