Food allergies

I am allergic to seafoods. I get large welts when I eat it. I am more allergic to shrimps and squid, less on fishes. But whenever I got to eat some, I immediately feel this overwhelming itchiness in and out of my mouth. And then I will start feeling my lips swelling. When I feel this way, I eat something sweet right away. This has been the way I deal with this allergy of mine for years now. Unlike other kinds of allergy, I got mine when I turned eighteen. I remember one of my favorite dishes was, and still is, camaron rebusado. This type of dish is composed of shrimp rolled on bread crumbs and fried. I love this food! I was eating it when all of a sudden I felt lightheaded and I felt my lips swelling. I went to the doctor the next day and that’s when I learned that I am allergic to seafoods already. My mom was also allergic to seafoods and hers manifested when she had her second child, my sister.

I found a web site that is the newest web resource for various food allergies. I am talking about AllergicToIt.com, a web site is designed to be a resource for people suffering from food allergies. Using the site, users will be able to look up products that are safe given a certain food allergy. They’ll also be able to add and modify existing product information once a site is created. Great huh?

A new home

My sisters and I love looking at architectural magazines wherein they feature really lovely homes. We found some that we really like and are thinking of making ours. I mean, we have cousins who are architects. We asked them to draw our ideal home. We have been surfing the net for months now and we bookmarked a lot of furniture that we love and would like to buy once our dream house is built already. Do you know what’s the only thing that’s stopping us from starting that dream home? Funds!

So I am looking for an institution that would extend to us a construction loan. An amount that will be more than enough to finance the building of our ideal home. It will not really be that costly because we are only thinking of a single-storey house. We don’t really like a two or three-storey house because we are used to being together in a single place. Our ideal home would have three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a big living room, a dining room, a storage at the back of the house and a single car garage.

I can’t wait for our ideal home to be built. If you are also looking for construction loan to finance that ideal home, then go to ConstructionLoanCenter.com now.

New York minute

My friend Lynn is coming home in a few weeks. She is actually asking me for a New York City travel when she goes back to the Big Apple after two weeks. Makes me think… It’ll be a good travel, that’s for sure. I’ve never been to New York and Lynn is a such a fun person to be with. So I might, it will just depend on the way my budget will be come mid-August. We’ll see…

Forgetfulness

My forgetfulness struck again! My brother was asking me to buy him patch panels but well, I completely forgot about it. My brother was mad at me because he really needs it. I think he will use it for a project that he’s doing. I will go back to the computer shop but it was already close to midnight.

Oh well, I said sorry and I really am. I need some brain vitamins!

Four countries, one trip

My aunt Wilma will be traveling over a period of 1 month to Hong Kong, Macau, China and Dubai. Her boss wants the two of them to meet business partners in these four countries for the recruitment agency she is employed as a general manager. Because it will take her four weeks on the trip, I told her that she should just buy a Swiss Army expandable suiter to accommodate all her clothes and accessories.

I can tell that she is excited with her trip even though this is not for pleasure. It will be her second time in Hong Kong but first time with the three other countries. Well, if given a chance to travel like that, I would surely be more excited than her.

Diet program

Been reading a lot about diet pills and its effect in our body. My aunt was advised by her cardiologist to go on a diet. She’s having problems with her weight. Even though she is watching what she eats, it is still hard for her to lose weight. She runs on weekends. But still…

So her cardiologist referred her to a dietitian and a nutritionist. The two are helping her lose weight with the proper diet. But her doctor also advised her to take diet pills, the one he prescribed to aid her diet program.

Good news is, she lost 20 pounds already, over an eight-month period. Not bad, don’t you think?

Internet speed

I am so darn tired of complaining to my service provider about my internet connection speed. You see, I am paying for up to 1258 kbps internet connection speed. My local provider is Bayantel. For a few days now, I have noticed the decline in the speed of my connection. I noticed that it takes a while before a blog loads that normally loads faster before. I complained at Bayantel’s customer service and they reset the modem. After that, the connection speed improved but after 30 minutes or so, it declined once more. And even right at this very moment, the connection speed I am getting is 1/6 of the speed that I am paying for. Let me just stress this one… I pay on time! There were months that I even paid in advance because I don’t want any hassle with my internet connection as this is the life of my work.

I complained again last night about this. And do you know what? All this time I did not know how to check my internet connection speed until the kind CS told me about this website…

They should have told me this a long time ago! I was relying on them to make sure everything was working fine. All this time, there are hours in a day that I am getting a measly portion of what I am paying for. This pisses me off big time! Wait until I get really mad at them and I will go to their office to give their officer a piece of my mind.Anyway, I have asked that a technician from Bayantel schedule a check up of my modem and other things related to my DSL connection. If the situation will not improve, then I will say goodbye to Bayantel. Any local DSL provider that you can recommend?

If you are experiencing the same slow connection and is doubtful about the internet connection speed that you are getting, check out SpeedTest.net because it will really give you an accurate speed of your connection.

David Cook wins the night!

I sooo love David Cook and I really do wish he’ll win this season’s American Idol! Here’s the LINK of his performance tonight, Roberta Flack’s The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face…

*Dare You To Move is on repeat mode…

Customized

When we were kids, I remember being envious with a family relative of ours who come during reunions with their shirts coordinated. Either they all wore the same colored shirts, or they come with this plain white shirts with a crossword puzzle at the back that highlights their names. It was the coolest thing when I was a kid. I thought that why not do that now even if we are already adults, right? It would be wacky and fun.

So I am thinking that for the next reunion, I would want something unique for the family. I am thinking of printing a sort of a logo bearing our names. A plain shirt will do. Or whatever colors my siblings would choose. It would be like a sorority/fraternity shirt only we are one family. I am searching for a company who can offer this type of service. And I found SonicShack.com, a company that offers state of the art digital printing on apparel, Custom T Shirts which I am actually looking for. It is full color printing directly to the garment. Customers can order just one custom shirt and get discounts the more shirts they order. Now that will give me savings which I love.

You might be looking for the same service like this. Go to SonicShack.com and find out what design of apparel and how much it will cost you.

Supplements

My cousin is an outdoor-type of person. He loves playing sports and is a health buff because of it. He told me that it feels great having this light weight that allows him to be flexible and energetic. And I believe him. You see, he is a purchaser at a local company here in the country. Being a purchaser, he goes from one branch to another making sure that he gets only quality made products that will attest to the superior name of the company. During weekends, he attends sports events organized by him and his friends. On Sundays, he attends the local church and sings with the choir. And daily, at night time, he has various activities lined up, sometimes with his family and most of the time with his friends. In spite of all those activities that seem endless and tiresome, when you see him in the morning, he looks refreshed, well rested and ready to conquer the world. Do you know what his secret is? He takes nutritional supplements. That he told me. Aside from regular exercise, proper diet, he also takes supplements especially he’s into a lot of sports.

He told me about some nutritional snacks that he takes like the Muscle Sandwich. This not only makes him full but also supplements what he lacks when he eats an incomplete meal. If you also like nutritional supplements most especially when you are into sports and body building, go and visit StrongerNutrition.com now.

High-resolution, low-noise pictures

You might have noticed that I join a lot of photo memes. You see, I am a frustrated photographer. I love taking pictures and making it look like art. That is because I am also a frustrated painter. Sigh. So many frustrations in life. Thank goodness for modern technology even if you are not that talented, you can remedy your inadequacies with digital technology. There is photoshop and so many tools now that can make your mediocre photo look like it is taken by a pro.

And since I love taking photos, you must know that I always have my camera with me. I take photos of even insignificant objects because you know, these objects that most people ignore are those that make beautiful art. I remember one time I was eating lunch alfresco when I looked up and saw a small insect on the bark of the tree in front of me. I immediately took out my digital camera and I took a photo of it. Do you know what came out? A small bug looking like it is saying hi to me. I love that photo and it serves as my wallpaper for my laptop.

So when I find tools that I can get to enhance my shooting experience, I immediately study it and if it will really benefit me, I grab it. A friend of mine who’s taking up photography told me about PhotoAcute Studio, a camera tool that processes sets of photographs taken in continuous mode to produce high-resolution, low-noise pictures. It increases image resolution, removes noise without losing image details, corrects image geometry and chromatic aberrations and expands the dynamic range. My friend knew about this because he read the PhotoAcute Studio review he found at another site. Cool!
