Haiti Needs Our Prayers

So many Haitians are suffering right now that one can not help but feel pity and shed tears whenever clips about them are being watched.

Here are two sites: that tell Michelle Malkin’s and The Lede on how to help.

If one can’t give them financial or material support, prayers are needed for them even if a supposedly evangelist says they are cursed. Bah! Who is he to say that?

I know a lot of people are skeptical about prayers and all I can say is that prayers are not just limited to Christians and Catholics, even other religions pray.

Natural Remedy for Wrinkles

Share

A friend asked me to help her look for natural skin care products to help her with her wrinkle problems. Uh-oh! I think I may have to read these for myself too, I tell her 😀

We searched the internet and read a lot of sites. One site, http://www.wrinkletreatment.org has a list of products one can avail of.

We looked at each other and say that we will get there but for now, we probably need to do some alteration in our diets to include food rich in vitamins A, B, C and E like meat, whole wheat, fruits and vegetables. Food rich in zinc like seafood, eggs and milk are also helpful as well as food rich in calcium.

So there, I have added these to my grocery list. I just hope lines will not be long when we go to the supermarket later as this is a payday for most of the breadwinners.

Post-Christmas Shopping Rush

Share

The Christmas shopping rush is over and I hope a lot are happy with the presents they got. Or maybe not.

I remember reading one time that in other countries, they give gift receipts so that the bearer can return the gift and get another item. Say what? That feels unfair to the giver who spent time and resources to get a gift.

Speaking of gift-giving, many credit card holders are probably reaching for their anti wrinkle face creams as they anticipate or hold in their hands their bills. I’m glad I don’t go through that since I do not have a credit card.

My motto, if you can’t pay in cash, then don’t get it. Period.

Think Before I Speak

Share

I got that New Year’s resolution here, a randomly generated one if I may say so.

No, I am not complaining.

Maybe I need to do this for there have been a lot of times that I have been tactless, thoughtless and had my words come out without a thought if these are hurtful, insulting or bad.

Try it and share what you got 🙂
