They are given an interactive game where players have to team up to find clues and solve logic puzzles based on various storylines. Participants are encouraged to PLAN as a team, SOLVE puzzles collaboratively in order to ESCAPE before time expires.</span></div>

Some will be nice and try to help you by giving you clues, while some… are not. Be prepared as they invade your personal space, tell you bone chilling stories, separate you from your friends and sometimes, even leave you alone in the dark. Be ready to be pushed out of your comfort zone.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">A good number of the respondents expressed willingness to adopt a healthy lifestyle; 79 percent said that they would</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">cut down on unhealthy foods, 78 percent expressed their willingness to exercise more regularly, and 72 percent said </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">an idea where we are needed, because as the survey revealed only four out of 10 would spend 10 to 30 minutes a day to make simple lifestyle changes,” said Rosalio Valenzuela, Herbalife Philippines General Manager.</span></div>
<div class="p0" style="layout-grid-mode: char; margin-bottom: 11.0000pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The respondents, however, cited the following as the top obstacles to achieving a healthy lifestyle: lack of time for</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">exercise (75 percent), lack of time to make proper nutrition choices (64 percent), and high cost of healthy food (62 percent). <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> “The findings from the Herbalife survey clearly show that the majority of people in Asia Pacific that we questioned</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">believe in the value of good nutrition and exercise as contributing to their overall well-being. We aim to play a</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">greater role in providing practical tips and information to people to help them understand that the journey to a</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">healthier, more active lifestyle is not difficult to achieve. With as little as 10 minutes a day, consumers can take positive steps to improve their nutrition and be more active, which will improve their overall well-being,” said</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">William M. Rahn, Senior Vice President and Managing Director, Herbalife Asia Pacific.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">This project is to maximize and spread out the help people can offer. This may sound little, but a notebook</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">can do so </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%;">much especially that many families lost literally everything; it would help them get back on their feet and start again.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Furthermore, the focus is on education because I was a child in that town who experienced being evacuated and all that. I could have saved other things, but my Mom would tell me to save my bag. I resolve that to</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">parents, knowing that their children go back to school is quite a relief.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The main focus of the campaign is to consolidate school supplies, but it would be best to include basic needs like cash, relief goods, clothes, sheets, medicines, and toiletries because many families were not able to save a single thing due to flashfloods. For local cash donations, please contact Franz Marabe through 0999 551 4843.

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Anyone from abroad may click the link to donate. Rest assured all monetary donations will be converted</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">into helping the children go to school again. In Quezon City area, donations can be turned in through Romelie Tamares (0936 694 9555). For Makati area, reach Koko Alviar (0917 826 1557). The crowdsourcing </span></span><br />

You see, before and after I got married, I've been renting out apartments. I've even labeled myself as a nomad. But I realized that all these years, I've been spending huge amount of money on something that won't even be mine.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhieKYcgHgnq0PpsaUF032leAtN0-VnD5Lnb3wYIIQEysl5aQ0yoLp1ZoQr250cgcTb21mAhkgIvgSYr02bVFck2n619Hd0us8TSyZbUmbfTQNmat4SmCL8iIyvQlijQdK_ZAe7DeDd0lQ/s1600/pay-rent.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhieKYcgHgnq0PpsaUF032leAtN0-VnD5Lnb3wYIIQEysl5aQ0yoLp1ZoQr250cgcTb21mAhkgIvgSYr02bVFck2n619Hd0us8TSyZbUmbfTQNmat4SmCL8iIyvQlijQdK_ZAe7DeDd0lQ/s1600/pay-rent.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
This has got to stop and I should start working on this dream as soon as I can. So, last month, I began to set aside some portion of my income specifically for a house (Yay! and good luck to me!) And to boost my motivation, I looked up the web and found <a href="http://www.property24.com.ph/" target="_blank"><b>#Property24PH</b></a>. It's a property listing site that is perfect for work-at-home peeps (and introverts!) like me. You get to explore different types of properties nationwide at the comfort of your own home. Thank goodness for technology.<br />
<br />
I'm not really a Lorde fan, though I like singing to <i>Royals </i>and <i>Team</i>, but I strongly agree to her statement: <b>"If your dreams don't scare you, they are not big enough."</b>And so, as if buying a house isn't scary enough for me, I decided to dream of five. Yes, five.<br />
<br />
By the power of <b>#Property24</b>, here they are in no particular order (drum roll please):<br />

Wow. Can we give each other a pat in the back?<br /><br />If our first year together was like a roller-coaster ride, the second one is quite the same, but with greater speed and intensity, if you know what I mean. But we both know we would not stay this way forever; the best is yet to come. One day, we'll get through this roller coaster, and we'll just be cruising together.<br /><br />We do not have the typically inspiring love story to share, in fact, I think we have one of the worsts out there. I realized family and parenting stresses and two people with completely different personalities, not to mention different cultural background, are the perfect recipe for a disaster marriage. But I am proud of us. After all the brows we've raised, jobs we've lost, money we owe, and fights we've fought, we are still standing and fighting together for this relationship, for the family.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />Two years ago, we've made one of the dumbest decisions we've ever had in our lives-- marrying each other. Back then, it was very easy to make a commitment because we were so in love and happy and we didn't have that much stress at all. But now, we know better. Marriage is far more than how the movies portray it. Marriage is not easy; it is not always romantic. But if I will be asked again if I would agree to marry you, knowing how difficult it is, I would still say yes. Because only this marriage and this family gave me direction and a sense of purpose in life, and only you and this marriage made me truly comprehend what 1 Corinthians 13:4:6 means.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">It’s now
mid-November and Christmas is fast-approaching. As a Filipino Christian, my
year would never be complete without celebrating the day when the greatest gift
on earth was given to us—the human birth of the Lord Jesus Christ. And so, to honor
this historical event, we decorate our homes, sing Christmas carols, and practice
gift-giving, which actually makes me soo excited to shop for decorations and
presents for my loved ones!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For just a little life update, I recently moved back to Bulacan.
It may not be a big deal for everyone else, but for me, it is. You know, I grew
up a city girl. I guess I will always prefer bright lights, road traffic,
pollution of all kinds, and the likes rather than the fresh air, fresh
vegetables, and fresh everything from the province. Not to mention the theme
parks, the music bars and oh, the malls. But, hey-- I survived my first two
months of country-living and I’m getting to used to it. The reasons? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
1. My minimalist mindset and lifestyle, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
2. my family, aand..</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
3. a Mall! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yep, that’s right. There is a nearby mall here in my new uhm,
kinda boring place. And not just a mall, mind you. It’s an SM Mall! Why am I so
thrilled about that? Why wouldn’t I, when they literally <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">got it all for us</i>. Admit it, everything you need, I bet you can
find it in an SM mall.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And because of that, even though I now live far away from
the city, I’m pretty sure I will have a very <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><b>#MerrySMChristmas</b> this year in SM City Baliuag! I can do all the shopping
I need for the food, decors, and gifts and I can also bring my family to see a
movie, play in the arcade, eat out in the food court, or whatnot. I am really,
really happy and thankful to have a nearby SM Mall. It is just like having a
city in the province, if you know what I mean. :D</span></div>

So for this summer, we will have no outing whatsoever, but I still have plans for us to enjoy the season.<br />
<br />
<br />
My first plan was actually accomplished already. Last month, we bought Sofie her very first baby pool. It was an Intex 34” x 10” round baby pool and we got it at a good price of P329.75 from Toy Kingdom in SM MOA.<br />
<br />
<br />
<img src="https://31.media.tumblr.com/e2fa6466cfbfa7cf5ee5bdd22d4eabd7/tumblr_inline_n5x1izHjNY1rl4wz7.jpg" /><br />
<br />
<br />
She was scared of it at first, but thanks to her dad’s patience in convincing her to try it, she loved it in a matter of minutes.<br />
<br />
<br />
<img src="https://31.media.tumblr.com/1fab64867f2ecda2ae4905bd1e69d954/tumblr_inline_n5x1mh2j6Q1rl4wz7.jpg" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />Another plan I have in mind is to try out Monde’s Make It Yourself Mamon-Decorating activity with my family. For four years, I have been very busy with my day job that I forgot about the frustrated artist in me and I figured out decorating mamon, which is a little unique than the usual cupcake decorating stuff I see almost everywhere, would be an exciting refresher for me and my husband and a good introduction to art (and food!) for my one year old Sofie.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here are the contents of the kit:<br />

<br />
<br />
I can’t wait to get my hands on it! I know that this will surely make my summer with the family a worthwhile and unforgettable bonding experience! <br />
<br />

From our material possessions, status in life and most especially to our personal relationships, we must learn to be satisfied and be willing to accept what we have.<br />
<br />
<br />
But this doesn’t mean that we should be lax and we should go with the flow just because we are “satisifed” with the things and people around us. Still, let’s make sure that we are always trying to be better in areas in life we know very well that we can improve on.<br />
<br />
<br />
One good example is improving your relationship with your best friend. But instead of asking him/her to be this or that so he/she can be your official “best” friend, why not initiate the change yourself?<br />
<br />
<br />
Below are 20 ways you can be the best friend ever:<br />
<br />
<br />
1. Do not tell her secrets to anyone unless you are permitted to. This is the number one rule and the make it or break it trust exam in your entire relationship.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://gulen-videos.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img src="https://31.media.tumblr.com/97eaf15662dd37ec3425e8fbf4fb99a3/tumblr_inline_n5wnc6sHPR1rl4wz7.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
2. Address her in a name she will feel loved like “Bessy”, “Pretty Friend”, “Sis”, etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
3. Set a picture of you with him/her as your profile photo/cover photo in Facebook at least once. <br />
<br />
<br />
4. Comment on almost all her activities in Facebook.<br />
<br />
<br />
5. Be in good terms with his/her family. So the family can trust you, as well.<br />
<br />
<br />
6. Go to a concert, party or gig she wants to attend to, even if you have no interest with it.<br />
<br />
<br />
7. Deal with arguments in a calm manner and forget about your pride if needed.<br />
<br />
<br />
8. Defend him/her to people who insult her.<br />
<br />
<br />
9. Do not tolerate his/her wrongdoings or bad habits. Be an honest friend and tell him/her on the face that she’s doing something not so nice and you are concerned about him/her.<br />
<br />
<br />
10. When you are together, try to avoid your smartphone as much as possible, unless you are using it together.<br />
<br />
<br />
11. Talk about crazy stuff, none sense and laugh together! Appreciate each other’s weirdness.<br />
<br />
<br />
12. Be an active listener. Learn to discern when you should not talk and just listen to your friend.<br />
<br />
<br />
13. Bring him/her fruits or a get-well-soon note if he/she is sick. This is a classic yet still a very sweet friend deed.<br />
<br />
<br />
14. Fulfill your promises but be very careful in making new ones.<br />
<br />
<br />
15. Allow your friend to have other friends, too. Do not be too possessive.<br />
<br />
<br />
16. Eat out together or have a sleepover.<br />
<br />
<br />
17. Help him/her with an assignment/project.<br />
<br />
<br />
18. Buy her something (anything) on his/her birthday. It doesn’t matter how cheap the things is. It’s the thought that counts, after all.<br />
<br />
<br />
19. Give him/her time alone. All of us needs to be with our own selves once in a while.<br />
<br />
<br />
20. If one or both of you are busy with life’s demands, do not fail to keep in touch. A real friend calls (or texts)! To do this, choose a promo that will give the best value to your money. Try Globe’s newest prepaid promo!<br />
<br />
<br />
With GoUnli20, it’s now easy to call without a need for a prefix and it’s just P20 for unli calls, 15mb of mobile surfing, and 20 texts to all networks! You can now tell your best friend “Kaya if you need a friend, don’t call me, I’ll call you!”<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>PROs</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>For some reason, people are nice to you</b><br />I honestly don’t know how to explain this.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Priority Lanes, Courtesy Area, Whatever-you-call-it</b><br />I did not have to line up in long lines at public restrooms, check-out counters and everything that requires lining up and waiting. I had instant access to EVERYTHING!<br />
<br />
<br />
<img src="http://media.tumblr.com/bf4c3c3659c5d63e695325d3cd7a16dd/tumblr_inline_mn77m42Zwr1qz4rgp.gif" /><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/96c6bfc005dd6ac7c5f88907f29eb785/tumblr_inline_mn77snjxtF1qz4rgp.jpg" /><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/2f6cc7c44bb4114437b29e1493f89157/tumblr_inline_mn77ss0XHi1qz4rgp.jpg" /><b>I was always hungry</b><br />While this may be a disadvantage for some, for me, it was very helpful because I was able to gain some weight (I was extremely skinny before)<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>I was exempted in doing household chores</b><br />Thank you, Lord!<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>I didn’t have menstruation for almost a year</b><br />Tipid sa napkin! :p<br />
<br />
<br />
<br /><b>CONs</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Gigantic Boobs</b><br />While helpful for some women, I don’t feel happy about it. My boobs and my tummy met at some point during pregnancy. It’s VERY uncomfortable.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>High Heels</b><br />After the third month, I was not able to wear high heels anymore. For half a year, I endured wearing JUST THESE flats everyday:<br />

It took me a while before I can rant about it because of the following reasons:<br />
1. My repaired cut (vaginal) hurts like hell<br />
2. I had to wait for my husband to get back to work so I can use the computer (because mine is busted and I don’t have money to have it repaired)<br />
3. Tinatamad lang talaga ako :p<br />
<br />
<br />
Going back, here’s what happened during labor and delivery:<br />
<br />
<br />
On May 7, upon waking up, my tummy felt hard as rock. I had discharge but no contractions and baby moved just once (she usually moves almost all the time). But since I already had three false alarms, I just ignored it. At noon, I went to MOA with my husband to buy a part of his vaporizer and to consult my previous OB from Borough Medical because I had colds. When we got there, she touched my tummy and did not pay much attention to the colds I was originally complaining about. She then performed an Internal Examination (a.k.a. “finger”) to me and boy did we found out that my cervix has already dilated to 4 cm and that I was already on labor (dilation must be 10 cm in order to deliver the baby normally).<br />
<br />
<br />
We rushed to the Caritas Family Hospital (formerly Family Clinic Hospital, Inc.) and I got admitted at around 2:30 PM. An ER doctor did an IE to me and said dilation is 2 to 3 cm. I did not believe her and did not want to. I mean c’mon, I’m getting sick of all those false alarms and all I wanted was to give birth right then and there.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Before 4:00 PM, I was instructed to stay in the Labor Room. It was an old room with two old hospital beds and old aircon and old comfort room and basically old everything. They did not allow my husband to go in and didn’t even allow me to bring in my cellphone. I was just there lying on the bed, waiting for my cervix to dilate to 10 cm and observing contractions— which I only had every 10, 15 and sometimes 30 minutes and each lasted for 10 seconds, meaning they were just Braxton Hicks contractions. The hell of boredom due to inactive labor has then officially begun.<br />
<br />
<br />
At 5:10 PM, the doctor who was supposed to be the one to attend the delivery checked on me and said dilation was 1 cm. I wanted to laugh out loud and cry at the same time. Really, now? From 4 cm to 2 cm to 1 cm? You mean to say my cervix decided to constrict instead of dilate? Left with nothing else to do, I spent the whole afternoon sleeping. At 8 o’clock, they said dilation was 2 to 3 cm. I was very, very hungry at that time because they did not allow me to eat since my admission. God must have touched their hearts, so they gave me beef noodles and said “huling kain mo na yan a”. After a couple of hours, the nurse told me that she will do “labatiba” to me. I had no idea what it was so I asked “Ano yun??”. She just told me that “palalabasin lahat ng dumi”. We went to the C.R. and she inserted a small tube to my anus, allowing some form of liquid to enter. After a few seconds, I felt like pooing, and so did I. “Labatiba” is “Enema” in English. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enema" target="_blank">More info here.</a> <br />
<br />
<br />
The doctors concluded that the dilation was 3 cm at 10:12 PM and called it a day.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
After an hour of walking around the hallways of Labor & Delivery Room, I went back to the old hospital bed and slept. When 4 AM of the next day came, I was not able to sleep well anymore because the contractions grew stronger and formed a 5-minute interval, which finally meant active labor.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
My cervix reached 9 cm dilation at 10:54 AM. The Obstetrician performed then an artificial rupture of membrane (a.k.a. amniotic sac, a.k.a. water bag). She used an ice pick-like tool to rupture it. When I saw that thing, I wanted to run away because I thought it would hurt, but good thing it didn’t. In a couple of seconds, a gush of water about a cup came out of me.<br />
<br />
<br />
Full dilation (10 cm) happened at 11:15 AM. I was then transferred to the freaky Delivery Room. Although I can still walk to go there, they used a stretcher to transport me. It was my first time and I loved the ride (though I wouldn’t want to use that thing again for any reason). Then the anesthesiologist gave me an epidural/spinal anesthesia. (I believe it wasn’t necessary. It is commonly used for CS deliveries, not for NSDs.)<br />
<br />
<br />
In a few minutes, the OB arrived and the game began. The contractions were extremely painful, but I needed them. I had to push when my tummy was contracting and stop when it was not— it’s a standard procedure. I had three failed attempts of pushing. I didn’t know if the doctor was discouraged by that or if she was motivating me when she said, “Hindi ka pa umiiri nang mabuti. Kung gusto mong manganak nang normal, depende sayo yan”, but that really helped. I was challenged by her words and so in my fourth try, my baby’s head finally came out and I felt her entire body being pulled out of me. In two seconds, I saw her and heard her first cry. I was stunned. I think I was able to flash a weak smile but I was not able to make my expected dramatic moment of tears because I was immediately knocked-out probably by tiredness. <br />

Everyone, meet my princess..<br />

She is the most beautiful baby girl I’ve ever seen. I will love her more than myself and I will make sure that she will be able to do everything that will make her truly happy. Most importantly, I will ensure that she will grow up a woman of God.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06220756061209378757noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2112917633705012057.post-43199175040981036892013-05-03T21:32:00.000+08:002014-10-22T18:59:11.838+08:00My Unexpected PregnancyI’ve been wanting to do this since the first day I learned about my pregnancy, but I was not able to do so because I was working for almost 10 hours daily and I usually become very tired when I get home. Now that I am on the second week of Maternity Leave, I’m glad I finally have the time to babble about my pregnancy journey.<br />I am one of the 36% Filipino women (according to NSO Statistics 2012) with unexpected pregnancy. I just exited my teenage years, started out in the corporate world and had soo many plans for the future. My then boyfriend, who is now my husband, hasn’t even met my mother when I got pregnant. My mother expects a lot from me, and truthfully, I did not intend to fail her expectations. It is still fresh to me how I told her about it. The only thing I was able to utter was “Mommy..”, then I handed her one of the three pregnancy test devices I used. She was shaking when she took it. When she finally determined what it was, she asked, “Buntis ka?”, although we both know that the question was unnecessary. She almost fell to the ground while crying softly as she could. That is one of the hurtful moments I ever had. I was hurt seeing my mom hurt because of me.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />While it seems to be negative, I don’t regret anything. I am beyond happy with the events that happened next. I realized just how much my mother really loves me; I got married to my husband; and above all, I am about to receive the most precious gift in my life—my daughter. I also have to mention, even though I’ll be giving my first birth to a girl, God granted my wish to have a son as the eldest in my family. He is none other than Gian—my husband’s son and is now my son, too.<br />

<br />
<br />Today, (if I am correct with my guess about the first day of my LMP), my baby is now 9 months, 2 weeks and 1 day. She is due to go out on May 16, but my doctor said it would be fine to give birth anytime now. I just turned impatient today. I’ve been going back and forth from home to the hospital every two days and it has become exhausting that I just want to give birth now. I hope to get admitted as soon as tomorrow night to end the false alarms and spare some time and fare money. Above all, I wish safety for both myself and my baby.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06220756061209378757noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2112917633705012057.post-25454458443329628022013-04-22T16:08:00.000+08:002014-10-22T18:59:54.068+08:00Sun Cellular, The Good Choice in Postpaid<a href="http://www.suncellular.com.ph/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://null/" target="_blank"><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/0b2ada87f14e1302d70534dd041143fd/tumblr_inline_mlnc6azEzU1qz4rgp.png" /></a><br />

Howdy prepaid mobile users! Ever experienced running out of call or text credits and being unable to load immediately for some reason (whether be it in the middle of the night when loading stations are closed or you’re just stuck in the middle of nowhere)? I think it is best that you now decide to get some phone plan to subscribe to. This is the very reason why I got mine in the first place- convenience at its best!<br />
<br />
<br />
Admit it, phone load has really become one of the basic necessities of the modern Philippines. We use load so we can make calls, SMS, MMS and even subscribing to surfing promos to connect to Facebook, Skype and many other social networking platforms. Communication is a very important part of us, Filipinos. A day without connecting to our loved ones even via mobile phone devices is completely unacceptable.<br />
