Weekend Menstrual Migraine

Another  weekend menstrual migraine again for me. Its been like almost a couple of months that I wasn't able to feel the pain of migraine during my regular menstrual period. I was thinking that perhaps it was also triggered by stress. As far as I can remember in the last couple of months I was been doing some daily routine exercise at home. And I was able to do some stretching each morning. But lately, I wasn't able to do anymore. I feel like so tired from the office. Well, perhaps mentally stressed out.

Been feeling the pain of menstrual migraine since yesterday but it started to feel so painful this morning. As usual, my sense of sight and hearing were sensitive making me stay in my room and take a sleep. I tried to sleep like a couple of hours hoping that the pain will go away when I wake up, but unfortunately it was still there. So I decided to have some dose of prednisolone again in which I tried to prevent on taking it, but I can no longer handle the pain. And yes indeed prednisolone again saved me from the pains of migraine.

I don't recommend to people who are experiencing migraine attacks to take prednisolone. I have been taking prednisolone because this was prescribed by my doctor for my chronic urticaria and asthma ( and just discovered about it relieving effect for migraine because its anti inflammatory). According to my ob-gyne migraine attacks during menstrual periods for women are normal. However, if you are experiencing severe migraine attacks , you need to see a doctor for it may be symptom of a serious illness.

Other alternatives to migraine attacks is to take a bath, stay in a cool place and rest. Avoid stress for it can also cause migraine attacks.

Sunny Summer Breeze

Currently sitting in front of my computer feeling the cool breeze that damps on my face. Windows are opened, electric fans are off with Beatles music on the background. Got no worries today buggling my mind, wish everyday will be like this.  Perhaps today should have been a great day on the beach. Lying on a hammock reading a book or just hanging around and feeling the beauty of nature. Thank you Lord! 

And it makes me miss working at home.....

My Goal to Healthy Living

I have been very conscious lately about my health. Yeah, I've gained much weight over time. Of course, I'm one of the women out there that wants to have that nice body. I've been trying to lose weight in any way that I can. Been playing badminton with friends regularly as possible as we can.And even tried to do some jogging after hours. But my goal isn't to lose weight alone or to look good but to feel good and healthy. 

Aside from getting into physical activities I also try to look after the foods that I eat. I minimize eating processed foods and fatty / fried foods. But sometimes I can't resist McDonald's or Jollibee's french fries. hehehehehe But one thing for sure, I include fruits and vegetables in my daily diet. And I try to do some abdominal crunches, leg raise and some flexing and cardio exercises to get rid of unwanted fats on my abdomen (both the upper and lower) daily especially when I wake up in the morning. However, there are times that I do it in the afternoons after work especially when I'm running late at work. Another effort that I do for my weight loss goal is lessen my rice intake. I only eat rice during lunch, only a cup. 

I want to feel good about myself and looking good will no longer that difficult for feeling good will radiate our beauty within.  My next plan is to enroll in the gym to increase my physical activities and of course hopefully to get rid of my belly fats. hehehee. 

But having these simple ways to my healthy living goals made me feel good about myself. I feel better now than before, my allergies are minimized. I feel light, and my physical activities has become my destressing channel. I want to live long and healthy so that I can experience the beauty and joys that life offers. 

Laptops are not allowed!

Been with Rolly earlier at one of the local supermarket here in our place to buy some groceries for my sandwiches the next day. Today is just another usual day for both of us. He was carrying his backup with the laptop inside and me having my own everyday bag with. He tried to leave his bag in the baggage counter so that he can come with me inside the supermarket knowing that the security guard does not allow anyone bringing a backpack to get inside the supermarket. But the lady over the baggage counter did not accept the backup because it contains a laptop. WTH! This isn't our first time to experience this. That was like a fifth or more already. I remembered once before when I argued with the security guard, he told us to just leave the bag at the baggage counter and just bring the laptop and camera along with us while we are doing are grocery. Another WTH! The bag was bought with the purpose to protect the laptop. Idiots. This is completely an inconvenience to the customers. Perhaps a good example on the providing a good customer service and satisfaction....Probably the lady in the baggage counter and the security guard are just following a bullshit rules on how to entertain customers and provide satisfaction. Brilliant. I'm addressing this issue to the Management of Iloilo Supermart Atrium. Please do review your rules. Is that what you call customer service and satisfaction?  You should think about how to provide convenience not INCONVENIENCE to your customers. And I hope you address such issue the way it should be.

What Do You Think About Page Rank Sculpting?

Being on the SEO team of our company we are always responsible to answer queries by our coordinators about our SEO campaign, terms, strategies and everything. Me and my team are given the opportunity to share what our skills and what we have learned from our previous SEO and Internet Marketing experiences.

A couple of days ago one of my supervisor asked me if what do I think about Page Sculpting being offered as one of the activities in our SEO Package. Being their "SEO Specialist" ofcourse I need to answer the question. But honestly, I only knew the basics of Page Rank Sculpting. What it is and why others practice it. So, as for my own opinion I told my supervisor that I think we do not need to include it on our SEO packages for it would only benefit us or our client less.

I've done my research. I read forums and blogs about Page Rank Sculpting and I've encountered Matt Cutts' opinion regarding on this matter. You can read it here. And he even discussed a few frequently asked questions about this.

But for now, I am currently still doing my research about Page Rank Sculpting. I want to know more opinions from people who have the authority in the Internet Marketing and Online industry . I'll keep you posted about my research.

2010 Resolutions

Well, like any other years that passed 2009 was indeed a great year for me. There were a lot of things happened that year. I met new friends and even lost one. But still there are things that I should say I needed to do to have a better, healthy and happy life. I guess 2010 would be another great year for me. Like any other people, I also do have some new year's resolutions. And here they are:

1. Manage my time wisely.
2. Don't say "yes" always especially with commitments.
3. Reduce stress.
4. SAVE. SAVe. SAve. Save. save. ( I must this year! Have been on my list last year bust wasn't that successful ).
5. Spend some time for myself and love ones.
6. Appreciate the beauty of life more.
7. Continue helping save mother earth in my own little ways.
8. Pay out my debts.
9. Try to learn new things every now and then.
10. Give more time for exercise.
11. Watch my food. Eat healthy. Be fit.
12. Buy a domain and have my "own" website publish.
13. Have more friends.

Those that are in bold face are my top most priorities.
