• Edil has been going to the gym five times a week lately. It has been slowly beefing him up, which is good. I am noticing he doesn’t need to play Mafia Wars every time he goes home (or maybe because he can’t squeeze any playtime because I am always working). Give me three hours to play and he is done. He now finished one David Baldacci book a week, and I am really happy that he has discovered reading.
• Matthew has been a little tween in the house, always being the one to make sure to answer back and reason out, politely or impolitely. You cannot see it very well in the picture but his PSP is hanging around his neck – if he can sleep with it everyday, he certainly would.
• Martha has been drawing a lot lately, and has been keeping such odd hours sleeping. Her record breaking sleep time was recorded yesterday, at 9AM to 10PM! I had to keep her from napping today so she can sleep at a regular time. She loves Disney Princesses to a passion and often can be seen playing Sleeping Beauty with her Ate Caren.
• I now have my hair at its longest, and I am itching to cut it off almost everyday. I need to schedule an appointment to have it curled – so I can be done with my curiosity if it looks good on me. If it doesn’t, I can always cut it naman, diba? I’m trying to be introspective lately and really try to know myself, after all, it’s my birthday month I also want to make sure I achieve things this year – momentous ones – before I turn 30. That may include silly things like getting an led tv, learn to drive or bike, or finally lose pounds since 2000.

Here is a glimpse of what we have been up to. I committed to taking a picture of everyday of 2010 and hopefully I complete it. I already have completed January! Yay!

Good or better health remains to be the most aimed for goal in a decade of fast food and sedentary lifestyle. I should know because I have been aiming to lose weight for the past five years already and as you can see, it still remains to be a goal to be accomplished.

Most rehabilitation centers also get promising candidates for rehab, whether it be for alcoholism, drug addiction, smoking (and news has it Tiger Woods entered into rehab for his sex addiction as well – I didn’t know there was a rehabilitation center for that kind of addiction!).

Among addictions, the addiction to prohibited drugs bears the most consequences because it can easily be detected. Smoking, although considered to be a vice, is unfortunately generally accepted by the public as something normal, with 8 out 10 teenagers having experiencing smoking and 60% carrying the habit up until they grow into adulthood. Alcoholism is something that is hard to diagnose and catch on to, with only during the late stages being prone to discovery.

It is hard to get employment, apply for certain positions and visit destinations without passing drug tests. In the workplace, in an effort to discourage drug addiction, HR and management have gotten the approval by law to do random drug testing and you would need to pass drug test to be able to eligible for work, during screening and initial application.

You can pass drug tests with the help of The Detox Store. From hair, liquid, oral and saliva, they can help you pass drug tests with flying colors!

I have been to a lot of commercial establishments and sadly, some of them need to have their permits to operate suspended or revoked. In one building, which houses a day care center/school on the second floor, there were no exit signs on every floor. Can you imagine if there will be a fire or an earthquake? People will surely be in panic and they would not know where to go.

I clearly remember a fire tragedy that happened to a club back when I was in high school. A fire razed down the club during March, back when students were celebrating end of school and graduation. A schoolmate perished during the fire that night. Investigations show that the Exit Sign door was there – but it was blocked by the mobile equipment and speakers.

EXIT SIGNS should be prominently displayed and can be spotted even from a hundred meters away. Exit signs can be electrical or non-electrical. You might wonder what if there is an earthquake or fire, electricity is always the first one to get cut off, for precaution. Electrical exit signs made by Green Torch use long-life LED or LEC lighting technology while non-electrical ones use Photoluminescent or Tritium technology.

I personally would prefer using signs that use Photoluminescent or Tritium technology. For one thing, they don’t use electricity, so they are still bound to work even if electricity is cut off. Since there is no electricity used, there is no wiring, you save on electrician costs and what’s more, it installs in minutes. It qualified for energy rebates too, and is low maintenance because there are no bulbs nor batteries to discard and replace and you do not need to rely on generators and inverters.

I am keeping my fingers double-crossed that we get to have one installed within the next three months, preferably before summer or else there is a chance I might really go insane. DIRECTV offers a package of $29.99/mo and DIRECTV Service offers DVR. How I wish that kind of technology will be available here soon. The quest of a Satellite TV Provider will end if only we have DIRECTV!
