A healthy mind and body

Monday, May 12th, 2008

Stay focused. That’s what my spiritual adviser told me about a year ago. She said that a healthy mind and body will be a great aid to staying in focus. I need to be able to achieve certain goals I have in life, most especially this year when I turn 30. And I am doing my very best to achieve my goals.

I know someone who strayed and went to the dark side. She tried drugs and got hooked. Thank goodness her mom sent her straight to drug rehab when she confirmed that her daughter was hooked on prohibited drugs.

Focus. If she stayed focus and not minded the temptations, she should have been a different person that the mess that she is right now.

Point of sale

Sunday, May 11th, 2008

My friend works for an optical shop for quite a while now. He was recently tasked to head the sourcing and eventual implementation of a POS sytem in their branches nationwide. He is now looking for the best supplier of a POS software so that he can present it to his bosses and they can in turn install it and implement in their branches nationwide. Being an accountant myself, and once upon a time a purchaser of a company I was employed at, he asked for my help. And the best that I found is CRS Retail Pro, a company offering the best POS software for your business needs.

This kind of software would make monitoring of sales easier for a lot of people in the company. The branch manager, sales manager, the executives of the company and everyone who should know what the status of the sales should be. And also, the main reason why my friend’s bosses wants a POS software is because they will be integrating it with the existing accounting software/system that they been using already. This will make pulling down of sales reports for meetings easier for everyone involved.

Now, if your company is also looking for this kind of software, just go to CRSRetailPro.com now for more information.

Be smart

Sunday, May 11th, 2008

Are you thinking of finally applying for that home loan so that you can buy your dream house already? Or perhaps thinking of renovating the house because the kids are already growing and they need more space? Or probably adding additonal rooms for new members of the family? Whatever your reasons are, all I suggest is that be smart. Make sure that the home loans being offered by the financial institution you are applying at offers fair and reasonable interest rates, does not hide charges from you, offers a fair term of payment and will not sink you into too much debt. You just be careful because I know a family who sank so deep in debt because they trusted a financial institution and when they thought they were able to pay for the whole loan amount already, the institution sprang a whole load of new charges for them to pay. What’s bad is that, they were not able to read the contract properly and there was really a stipulation for additional charges deemed appropriate by the institution. They sued and lost.

So for the best home loans deals that you can get, go to GetSmart.com and check out what they have to offer.

An alternative relaxation

Sunday, May 11th, 2008

Not everyone is a social animal. I mean, there are people who would rather stay at home and hang out there rather than go out and party at a bar somewhere. Of course, special occasions are different but what I am talking about are Friday nights and weekends when everyone are inviting friends to go out and have fun. To be quite honest, I am one of these people I am talking about. I would rather stay at home and relax with a good book, some chillin’ music and some online time spent blogging and chatting. That kind of fun and relaxation appeals to me more than a drink or two at a noisy and crowded bar somewhere.

A friend of mine also loves to chill out at home and play some online casino instead of going out with his co-workers and drinking until the wee hours of the morning. He would rather play at the privacy of his own home. Less expenses on his part and he can avoid the crowd as well. And he can play all he wants and not worry about his safety unlike when he goes out and drives home tipsy.

Another person I know who is not a social animal as well is a co-worker of mine. She is single and should have been out more to be able to meet a lot of people but she would rather stay at her condo unit and use the internet and chat with her family and friends abroad rather than go out of the house and spend and party. She loves playing the slots so that’s what she does if she gets tired reading.

If you want an alternative way of relaxation as well, you might want to try playing online casino at home. Just go to FR.PartyCasino.com now and play to your heart’s delight.

Party fun!

Sunday, May 11th, 2008

There are various ways to spend your free time. If you ask me, I will definitely recommend reading. I love reading. I am a certified bookworm! I also love writing, thus, I will recommend blogging to you as well. Digiscrapping is also one of the ways I love spending my time on. I was talking to a cousin of mine and he told me that he spends his free time catching up on sleep. He just basically stays at home on his rest days or weekends. He plays computer games and these days, online casino. This is the same answer I got from a friend of mine who loves to stay at home and just chill out with his neighborhood buddies. Yes, they drink and goof around and laugh their hearts out. And that comprises their fun ways of spending their free time.

Well, I know a lot of people who are spending more and more of their times at home instead of going out. If you will be thinking about safety, staying at home can’t be any safer. You can drink at home and not worry about driving. Less spending on your part plays another big role in most people’s decision to stay at home than party out with friends. You can prepare anything you have at home. You can drink and not worry about costs. Remember that costs of anything outside doubles when you are inside party places. Even in a casino. So if you are thinking of some partyin’ fun, then no need to go out and find it. You can find ways to do it by yourself or with friends who live nearby.

That is what PT.PartyCasino.com has in mind when they created their online casino web site. All they want is for people to have fun at the comfort of their own homes. All they need to do is log on to the world wide web and that’s it. Start a private party all your own! Go and check out PT.PartyCasino.com now for more information.

It's been a year now…

Sunday, May 11th, 2008

I was blogging for over four years now. I started with bravejournal, moved to blogspot and then to my everdearest akoni blog. I was already blogging for a couple of months already when I thought of getting my very own DOT COM. And so sasha-says.com was born. It was actually May 8, 2007 when I registered this domain name but my blog went up on the 10th of May. It has been a roller coaster ride ever since. I met a lot of bloggers, became friends with most, lost some along the way and have gained some more. I gained numerous sisters, a tatay, an inay, a mouse(y) friend, a lot of titas and ates and kuyas…

Most of all, I have gained my stability and freedom with this blog.

And oh, the contest and everything new with the blog will be posted on Monday :)

For all of us…

Saturday, May 10th, 2008

We may not be mothers yet but in some way, we have been mothers to someone in our lives…
You might be a man but have been both a father and mother to your kids…
Moms, your children might be grown-ups now but rest assured that you are still their mom and they need you no matter what they say…
You may never know this, my dear mommy-blogger friends, but you’ve been a mom to me one way or another…

Tomorrow is a day for all of us.

Penchant for sob stories

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

I don’t know if this only applies to Filipinos as I have seen some in the foreign shows I’ve watched as well… I notice that people tend to create sob stories when they join competitions. I was able to watch this Philippine Dream Academy (PDA) primer at ABS CBN 2 a week ago and I was amazed at how each one of the contestants have a sob story to tell. Of course, it could be they are telling the truth. But I don’t know, you can just feel them exaggerating their stories a bit. They make it seem like they are to be pitied by everyone.

Why can’t we just hold a contest where the winner will win base on his/her merits as a contestant and not because people pitied him/her enough to vote for him/her?

There is nothing wrong with a person, without a sob story, joining a contest and eventually winning. Yes, the stories add drama to the contest, but don’t you think this has become a trend already?

*A sob story is something about a person, usually a contestant, that will elicit pity from viewers or audiences.

Hazel's 3rd birthday party

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

It would be Hazel’s 3rd birthday party this coming October. Oh yes, it is months away but this early, we are already preparing for it. We are already scouting for birthday party supplies for the theme that we are thinking of. We are actually thinking of a Dora the Explorer theme. She adores Dora so much! She even sings with her when she watches her DVDs here at home.

Hazel is actually not a member of the family. She is the two-year-old child of a distant relative of ours. When my mom died two years ago, she was newly born. To alleviate our loneliness, my dad would get her from her mom and we would play with the infant Hazel. She smiled a lot, still does, and that captured our lonely hearts. She practically grew up here with us. And do you know that she sleeps beside my dad or sometimes beside me and my sister? She is the love of our lives.

So for her coming 3rd birthday, we would like a grand birthday for her. We are already thinking of birthday party favors and other things that we would need. We want toys or stuff that the little kids will be thrilled to have. We want to be able to see the joy in the kids’ eyes once they open their loot bag.

Browsing the net, I found PlumDrama.com, a site where you can get party supplies. Go to the site and find affordable party supplies that you need.

Staying in top shape

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

I am struggling with my weight. I have posted several updates about it and to be quite honest about it, I am not happy with the way I am right now. I can feel myself getting tired so easily. I eat a lot, especially when I lack sleep. I drink less water and more soda. I am not a chocolate addict but I eat ice cream a lot. So tell me, how can I stay in top shape when I eat all the wrong food and do all the wrong stuff eh? Even a personal trainer Houston would give up on me. Or I guess not.

In AmazonFitness.us, their main goal is to make you fit and healthy. Being sexy is far from their minds. FIT is the word you will surely hear from a personal trainer Houston. Their questions once you consult with a female trainer are the following:

Do you want to look better?
Feel better?
Get healthier?
Improve your quality of life?

My answer is yes to all four questions. I would love to get a female personal trainer Houston help me with my weight loss struggle. Maybe when I have someone guide it, it would become easier for me to discipline myself.

Check out AmazonFitness.us and start living the healthy and fit life.

On obesity

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

I have heard so much about the obesity weight loss surgery. A local celebrity have undergone the procedure and it was a huge success. The once overly obese lady is now a fit woman, ready to conquer the world. She even got pregnant a year and a half after the surgery. Being fit made it easy for her to conceive. She is actually an inspiration to many obese people out there. There is hope after all.

But you know, not everyone is a good candidate for an obesity weight loss surgery or more popularly known as lap band surgery. Some overweight persons attempting to undergo the procedure are not perfect candidates for this type of surgery. The perfect candidate must meet a certain number of criteria that experts have set. Some are the following:

A severely overweight person.
A person overweight for more than 5 years already.
All serious attempts to lose weight have had only short-term success.
No any other disease that may have caused your obesity.

And there are other criteria as well. So if you are really thinking of undergoing an obesity weight loss surgery, better consult the experts first. Go to Health.UCSD.edu for more information on this weight loss procedure.

Online party

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

Fe is a friend of mine. For some reason, she just disappeared for a number of months. She did not make contact with any one of us. Before she disappeared, she was quite depressed with how things are going in her life. There had been so many setbacks that she encountered along the way and she just had enough of it. There are so many factors that she considered and was actually convinced by Online casino, of all things. It played a big part in her new life. That’s what she told me when she resurfaced a couple of weeks ago. She had enough of her work, her boss, her co-workers, the stress. She had enough of her boyfriend, their relationship. And even her demanding family. So what she did was, upon seeing her more than enough savings, she left some with her mom and she packed her bags. She went to a popular beach resort here in the country and worked there as a receptionist. Take note, she was a human resources manager when she quit her job. But since she wants a less stressful work and a vacation as well, she thought of applying at the beach resort and was hired.

She worked during the day and partied at night. She spent her weekends learning fire dancing, imagine that! And you know what? She spends her Saturday nights playing Online Casino and lives the stress-free life.
