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 🙂

Since I am unable to move and be up and about, I got to reading a lot of year-ender articles. I absolutely love these article summing up what has happened. There are topics and issues that are familiar and there are those I just encountered just now.
I have been reading about the decade’s cybercrimes when I got to open several tabs which made me search for diamonds and in turn made me read about NatGeo’s SuperDiamonds.
I don’t know, there is just something about crime and diamonds that go together.
Oh well, now I am off to read more. Who knows, I might learn something new today and I am sure I will 🙂

Family reunions are happy events as loved ones gather to enjoy each others’ company in once-in-a-while moments.
If there is one thing that makes love ones feel awkward with would be to think of topics that will sustain the conversation and keep the communication a two-way street.
It probably feels weird being face-to-face with a cousin you haven’t seen in years and where the only memories y0u got between the two of you is childhood spent together playing games during weekends.
Of course you can’t possibly bore your relatives about the nitty gritty details of your work unless they are interested nor should you explain in detailed version how you bought your new condo unit or how you got the best auto insurance quote or maybe even about your stock market portfolio.
What should you talk about then?
- Update each other about how you are doing but be general with the details unless they ask you.
- Introduce your children (if you have some) but do not spend too much time enumerating their best features.
- Try to find a topic that will interest them.
- Play fun games.
- As much as possible, avoid gossiping about those who did not make it to the reunion.
Last of all, enjoy the moment of togetherness 🙂

Halloween was just a few weeks ago and with the Christmas season in full swing, sweets abound. By sweets I mean cake, pastries, candy canes, candies and sweet memories. Ok, scrap the last part because I am really talking about those with sweet tooth and unlimited stomach space.
I am sure a lot of health-related issues after the Christmas season would center on two or three or even four concerns:
- high blood pressure due to excessive consumption of food high in cholesterol and animal fats,
- high blood-sugar level due to consumption of food that are not even supposed to be within two feet of the sufferer,
- cavities especially with children who are in dire need of a visit to Plano dentist clinics
- stomach-related problems like dyspepsia, indigestion and just plain eating a little bit too much.
The key to not getting sick in to do things in moderation and that includes eating, drinking, shopping, having fun, and partying.
Sure, one can always say it is the time to be happy and enjoy the company of family and friends but then again, knowing one’s limits is the best way to go so spend your holidays wisely 🙂

I dread housework. I am not good with household chores and that includes dusting furniture, cleaning the floor and washing the dishes. It is not surprising then that the garage floor is not clean.
I know I should be better, have to do better since I have allergies and so does my son so there should not be dust in the house especially during this time when the weather is windy and dust is all around.
There really is no excuse for this non-dusting.
Or is there?
Rose Milligan wrote in “Dust If You Must“:
Remember, a house becomes a home when you can write “I love you” on the furniture.
