Not that Obvious

Well, I've mentioned that I took Leisure 18 Orange Juice for two weeks. I stopped for a week and drink again for another week, the remaining juice for one week more is still on top of our refrigerator. I no longer want to drink it because of what I read about the bad content of the said juice. Anyway when I visited my OB last Monday I find out that I lose weight from 62kl to 59kl, wew. That is from 136.4lbs to 129.8lbs much better number, hehe. Anyway just like I said its not that noticeable but I did feel that some of my pants are a little loose. But still the belly that I want to disappear is still bulging, urgh! I guess that needs a little work out. I am not sure if I can do that. Holiday is just around the corner and the 3kls that I lose might come back, waaaa. Haayss.. I guess I just need to accept reality, lol.

Life at 30

Wow! I just turned 30 last Sunday.... it makes me feel old.. urgh! Life is really fast and I can still remember those days when I was still studying and just thinking of homework and how to pass my grades. Now I have my own family, a loving husband and two adorable kids. We just moved to our new house May of this year and starting to build our dreams for our kids. At this age I no longer dream of having a big party during my birthday. I just want to be with my family and have a simple celebration. Last Sunday I spent it with my mom and dad, my brother's darwin and his family in Tagaytay.

Mark Zuckerberg Blames Facebook Porn Attack on the Philippines

In the past few days FB was attacked by someone spreading pornographic picture and also pictures showing violence. I would say this hacker intention is destroy the image of FB.... but what more surprising is another evil came out using this news this time to destroy the image of the Philippines. This is also spreading in FB, different blogs and over the web. The article is stating the porn attacked originated from the Philippines.

Brief Analysis
The message is an absurd hoax and should not be reposted. Mark Zuckerberg has made no such statement. 


Source: http://www.hoax-slayer.com/porn-attack-philipines-origin-hoax.shtml
Below is the false article that is spreading.

Mark Zuckerberg – CEO of Facebook released an online statement regarding the spreading porn pics and spams. Released November 16, 2011 9PM Pacific Time Zone.

The porn attacks originated in the Philippines and are being published by Filipinos all over Facebook, our experts here at Facebook are doing everything they can to stop it from spreading any further (outside the Philippines) and to eliminate the porn and spam threat completely which have been causing other Facebook users ‘a hard time’. Filipinos should also be vigilant and report any spam links and pornographic materials. 41% of Facebook members around the world are aged 12-17 years old, we cannot be exposed to this kinds of things through Facebook. If this continues and more spams keep being posted, we will have no choice but to ban Philippine users from using Facebook. We at Facebook will not tolerate outlandish behavior and indecency.

Please be reminded that this has to stop, Filipinos!

I have noticed that most people in Facebook are posting pornography photos, sharing them which is bullcrap. If Apnea is a sincerely law-abiding citizen (despite being an alt-porn model), why can’t Filipinos do the same? C’mon, we’re always the target when it comes to sex. Foreigners go to the Philippines not only to tour around, but also because of sex.

This didn’t happen before. Unfortunately, since these porn thing went viral and shit, I think there’s something that we really have to do. Don’t just sit there and drool over these porn photos, you think it’s funny? Sharing pornographic material is really a sign of disrespect towards other people. Everything that is related to violence and porn, they’re just sick.

Pornography is not for general viewing

Basically, pornography is one of the social issues in the Philippines. If FHM is pornographic, Playboy’s worse. MAXIM isn’t bad, but it’s still for the matured people. Hentai, however, is alright since Japanese culture thinks that hentai is for entertainment. Why, do you think being a gravure idol is indecent? Malicious? Porn? If Japanese pop culture thinks that this is normal, what about the others? Of course, it’s malice. Malice, like everyone’s showing their kids pornography, which is again, indecent.

I really don’t know what to say, but let’s just hope that there are a handful who will report these photos…

Here’s another… warning

Pornbook. The CEO of Facebook warn us about this pornographic issues. By us means, We the Philippines, their data has been check and all the pornographic issues are being publish by us.. Filipinos.. If we continue this stupid behavior, Facebook will ban Philippines.

Facebook currently has 4 VIRUSES:

1. If you get a notice of a PHOTO TAG. Do not open it.

2. If you get a notification that a friend reported you for offensive behavior etc. Do not open it.

3. Is a Video saying 99% of People can not watch this for more the 15 Sec. Do not open it is also a virus.

4. All Messages from your friends via chat saying click this link. Do not open! These are BAD ones and will crash your computer.

Share and warn friend.

WARNING.PLEASE LISTEN UP! HACKERS ARE BUSY ON FACEBOOK AGAIN! They post some insulting messages on the wall of your friends with your regards, without you knowing about it. If you receive one of those messages in my name, it wasn’t me posting them. Put this on your wall and warn your friends. Also, DONT open the video about a guy with a BIG ZIT. It is a virus. Share the news.

Leisure Slimming Orange Juice

                                                 Hear goes the saying "Wag magsalita ng tapos." I've mention on my earlier post that I will not drink this again. However I changed my  mind, hehe (bakit bawal?) Since I still have one box I decided to start drinking it again today. For the sake of vanity..... waaaa.... Will be having our christmas party on 2nd week of December and I am hoping to lose even a little weight before that. I did not lose weight I think on my first two weeks of drinking it but I feel that my pants is not that tight anymore.. maybe an inch less. Hoping for at least a little result. I will not buy this again... let me just consume this box since I already bought it. 

Metrobank Free Swatch Promo

I got my credit card from Metrobank last October and I got a P3000 worth of voucher for Swatch. It will expire on November 30, 2011. Last Saturday we had our team building at Tonya's at SeaSide. After our yummy seafood lunch which is another story we went to SM Mall of Asia. I decided then to use my Swatch Voucher. At first I am thinking buying either bracelet or ring which I saw from the internet. However they only offer watches. I am not fond of collecting watches, I only buy new watch if my old watch either get lost or damaged. I think my last watch was way back 3 or 4 years ago when our yaya stole it (wew!). I also don't buy very expensive watch, currently my watch is casio which I would say is very good. I have it for maybe 4 or 5 years and replaced the battery once. I have a hard time choosing.... until I decided to get the black watch with black and green leather strap. My favorite color green ... makes me decide. This is the first time I would have a Swatch Watch and I am happy about it. It cost P5000 so I only pay for P2k, not a bad deal. It comes with two years warranty. I am very excited when I got home. When my husband saw the watch he liked it and asked for it, wew! I agreed and told him that would by my birthday and christmas gift for him. His birthday will be on November 21. Below is the picture of what I bought.

Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manual Marquez Punch Stat Report

This is one of the most awaited fight of the year, Manny Pacquiao of the Philippines vs Juan Manual Marquez of Mexico. This is consider as their 25th round. Marquez believes that he won the 1st and 2nd battle that they have. That is why there is a 3rd fight to prove who really is the winner. Based on the result, still a lot of people have their own belief. Some still believe its Marquez and some still Pacquiao. I still watched the fight even though I already heard over the radio that Manny won by unanimous decision after 12 rounds. I want to see how he won. There is not much of an excitement. I am expecting Manny to give Marquez a big blow and bring him down but it still lasted up to the last round with no much of a thrill for me. Anyway below is their final punch start report.

Born in the 80's

I saw this post by one of my office mate before. I am really amazed how our world has changed and I guess will continue to change. I miss those days when life is very simple.

Swimming at Amadeo Balite Falls

Malacañang announced November 7, 2011 as a regular holiday due to Eid'l Adha, a muslim feast world wide. For me, who is working in a call center its just a regular working day but of course with additional holiday pay (weeee!). It was my niece 8th birthday and we are invited to have a splash at Amadeo Balite Falls. I am not fond of swimming but my kids are really excited about it. I was told its a river and not the usual swimming pool or beach. On the way are lots of trees, looks like we are entering a forest. We arrived there past 8am and we are the only visitor. My sister-in-law actually got a little frightened how come there are no people. When lunch came a lot of people arrived. If you love nature and splashing in cold water I'm sure you will like the place. Just be careful because some of the stones are slippery. My kids started to play right away on a small pool like that is getting water from the river... with water falls. It was a fun experience and if you would like to have a little adventure you can try to visit this place. The entrance is only P60.... we got the cottage for P600.

Its all of us.... The cute little girl in yellow is Ann, the birthday girl.

Awake But Cant Move

This really scared me. Last Saturday after my graveyard shift (on Friday) I did not sleep right away when I got home. That makes me awake for more than 24 hours. After reviewing my son for his achievement test I decided to take a nap. I think its almost 7pm then, when all of a sudden I open my eyes and I cant move. I can see the whole room, my bed, the wall---, everything. I am lying on my side and it feels like someone is embracing me from my back causing me not to move. I tried to shout, I try to call my son David who was watching tv but no sound comes out of my mouth. I think it lasted for 2 or 3 minutes. I tried to shout several times and I can feel my heart pumping very fast. I thought I would not be able to wake up. I thought I would die. All of a sudden my son entered the room running because he got afraid of the halloween special of "Going Bulilit.", and that wakes me up. Though I am still sleepy I decided to go with him and watch television. It gives me a feeling of fear of sleeping again. 

I decided to google about this and find out that is called sleep paralysis. Its a state wherein you become conscious but your mind havent send a signal to your muscle to move since you are in a deep sleep where the whole body is relaxing. You can search online aobut sleep paralysis for more details. Thanks to the internet and I was able to remove my fear from this incident. I guess what I need to do next time is just to close my eyes again and wait until my brain completely restore its full functionality. But I still hope not to experience this again. 

Prehypertension

100/80, that is my normal BP every time I have my regular check up with my OB. Earlier today I decided to check my BP since I feel pain in my nape going up to my head. I still think that this is the side effect of drinking the Leisure 18 Slimming Juice. I've never experience this pain before. After my lunch break at work (which is actually early in the morning; around 4:00am), I decided to visit our clinic to check my BP. When I enter the clinic the nurse is talking to one of my office mate. I told her I just want to check my BP. My office mate greeted me, "High blood"? (hehehe) I guess its normal for those working in the call center specially those with more experience (matatanda, lol) I would say to have high BP. I'm only 29 and I would say still very young. I removed my jacket and the nurse wrapped the BP belt ( I don't know what you call it) and started to pump. I wonder how they read the BP using that measuring device. She said my BP was 120/80....hmmm not far from my normal BP. I then started to google and I find out that I am between normal and hypertensive which is called prehypertension. Look on the chart below which I found from this link.

Its been a week now since I stopped drinking the slimming juice and so far I still don't feel well. The dizziness disappeared but now I have this pain on my nape going to my head and I still feel very tired. I need to be more careful or else I might fall in stage 1 hypertension. It runs in our family so I really  need to work on this. I need to eat healthy food and regular exercise. 

My Leisure 18 Slimming Juice Experience

Seeing my sister-in-law as a living proof, I got entice with Leisure slimming product. She used Leisure Slimming Coffee which she drinks 30mins before breakfast. I was not able to verify how many days she drink the coffee but I can see in her figure the difference. I decided then to order from her Leisure 18 Orange Slimming juice since I am not a coffee lover. I am one of those mothers out there who was not able to recover from big tummy and fats after giving birth. One box contains 13 sachets, it makes me excited reading from the box that it also helps whiten the skin too. I started taking it last October 16, 2011. I did not check my weight but what I remember from my last check up I weight 62lbs. Just like others it makes my mouth dry making me drink lots of water, I perspire more when the temp is hot, my stomach feels full with little amount of food. 

With those side effects, I decided to drink more slimming juice until the end of November. However, after I finished drinking for two weeks I was not able to get my 2nd box right away since it was out of stock. First day without drinking the juice, I still have all the side effects, dry mouth, perspire easily and feels full very quickly. The 2nd day without it, I felt something different. I feel dizzy, this is the first time I felt this dizziness.  I've never experience this feeling of dizziness before... it makes me just want to lie down and take a rest. I thought it might be the effect of eating bulalo for lunch in Tagaytay... maybe I got high blood or low blood. I actually sleep early when we got home. Anyway the third day.. I still feel a little bit dizzy... I would say its tolerable because I was still able to work. But the feeling of dizziness makes me feel tired and also makes me worry because I've never experience this... ever. I started to google then about the Leisure juice and I find out that has "sibutramine." Its a substance used before to help obese people to loosen weight but due to safety reason US removed it from the market last October of 2010. This substance substantially increase blood pressure, pulse rate in some patients and may present a significant risk for patients with history of coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure or stroke. For more info click on this link from FDA. 

I just got my 2nd box today and I am thinking if I would continue drinking it. As of now I still have dizziness/lightheaded. Sometimes if I move my head quickly I feel head ache. I really feel tired and can sleep easily compare to before. I will keep the juice for the meantime until I feel better... I may not continue drinking this...
