Project Orange Thumb Grants

I recall in my college years, we had this project where the goal is to clean up the forest and plant seeds. It was really fun. Even though the day is not good for us since it was summer season but everything is worth it. I feel that I accomplished a big project in my life. I really enjoy participating gardening projects or neighborhood beautification because it will help the entire environment. The most amazing part is when the time you see the fruit of your labor. The time where you see the flowers you planted blooms very pretty. Wow, that’s a nice feeling. Frankly, I want to see what happens to the seeds we planted but I’m too far away right now. But one thing is for sure it will sprout like a healthy child. Anyway, I’ve heard a lot of organizations that supported gardening programs like the site I visited today. Project Orange Thumb grant is a great resource to provide the tools and funding needed to either begin a garden or enhance an already existing one. The grant recipient will receive up to $1,500 in Fiskars garden tools and up to $1000 in gardening-related materials. Isn’t it great? It’s a big help already. All you need to do is visit the site and start your application. Applications must be submitted electronically on or before February 17th, 2009. Guys, what are you waiting for? Encourage your group to start an application. Who knows, you’ll be fortunate to receive grants.

My Exercise Journal- Week 1

Two days ago, I started to do my exercise routine. I’ll try Billy Blank’s Tae Bo again. I used to do this when I was still in the Philippines. But, I stopped it a couple months ago. That’s why I’ve gained so much weight until I realize I need to stop procrastinating. Or else, I ended up being fat forever. This is already a wake up call for me since I can no longer fit my jeans. What a shame! Plus, I saw biggest loser last night. I saw how hard to be obese. It’s a risk. You’ll be prone for heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and much more. I was at risk already since my mom and grandfather suffers diabetes. Anyways, it’s really hard to exercise but I need to do this for my own sake and health. I’m already determined now. And, I wanted to lose at least 20 pounds so I could wear sexy dresses this summer. Or if I can’t lose 20 perhaps I’ll lose 15 pounds then I’m already happy with it. What’s important I eat healthy foods and exercise. That’s what matters most for me. I’ll be posting my weekly journal of this weight loss journey so you’ll know, too. Wish me luck guys!

Perpetual Diamonds- Genuine Rolex Watches

My husband loves collecting watches. He has different brands of watches. One of the expensive watches he owned was the Rolex watch. It’s a Rolex Submariner two-tone 18k gold watch. He takes good care of it very well. As what he told me, it takes him many years before he can afford to purchase another Rolex watch. LOL! Yeah, I know how crazy it will be to purchase genuine Rolex watch. It’s quite expensive. He had planned of buying Mens Rolex Datejust Silver Stainless Steel Jubilee. But, money is tight these past few months so I guess he should wait until he can afford to get one. However, I’ll try to convince him to visit perpetualdiamonds.com site. He probably likes this site since they were selling affordable Rolex watches. Anyway, Perpetual Diamonds sells like new and pre-owned Rolex watches with brand new genuine Rolex boxes and GIA member appraisal papers. If you are not satisfied with your purchase, then you may return the watch back within 7 days for a full refund, or within 30 days for an exchange for another authentic Rolex watch. It’s pretty cool. Right! So you can really guarantee that their Rolex watches are 100% authentic. Guys, what are you waiting for? This is your chance to own a genuine Rolex watch for an affordable price.

Olive Oil- Curb Hunger

Did you know that olive oil could curb hunger? Yeah, you heard it right. Olive oil is rich in a special appetite- controlling kind of fat. A fat that may help lose weight. Gosh! It’s pretty amazing. No wonder some people drink VCO oil. I’ve tried it one time but it’s yucky. LOL! According to the Wikipedia, olive oil has a higher proportion of monosaturated fats in the diet is linked with a reduction in the risk of coronary heart disease. Evidence suggests that eating about two tablespoon (23grams) of olive oil daily may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease due to the monounsaturated fat in olive oil. Olive oil also contains oleic acid that triggers the production of oleoylethanolamide (OEA), another fatty substance. OAE then finds its way to nerve endings that carry a hungry curbing message to the brain. So I guess we should include this in our daily diets. Huh! Well, I’ll see if I can bravely eat 23 grams of olive oil. Hehehe!

My 5 New Year's Resolution

I received this tag from a good friend Grace. Thanks for sharing this tag to me. I really appreciate your thoughtfulness. Though, I’ve already posted my New Year’s resolution in my previous post. But, I’ll post it again for everyone to know. LOL! Just kidding! Anyway, I have a lot of things I want to change for this year. Hopefully, I would succeed in my goals. You know it’s hard to follow strict diets and exercise. It’s like you’re about to quit smoking and drinking. Gosh! How I wish I could make it. But, I’ll try anyway. There’s no harm of trying. It’s better than not trying at all. Right! So here it goes my 2009 New Year’s resolution.

Here’s my Top 5:

1. Lose weight- I’ve gained so much weight and I promise the next year I’ll start eating healthy foods and exercise. My goal is to get the ideal weight I wanted. So I can wear my swimsuit for the next summer. Wish me luck!

2. Think positive- I’m pessimistic sometimes and I wanted to erase that behavior this New Year.

3. Stop Procrastinating- this is the bad habit I have when I got here. I promise I’ll do whatever things should be done in time. This is the reason why my driver’s permit expires. LOL!

4. Get a job- I need to pass the road test so I could find a job soon. I know I can make it with God’s guidance.

5. Save money- I promise I would not buy any jewelries anymore or nonsense things. Instead, I’ll save money for our future and help pay some bills.

CallingAmerica.com

One of the things I do when I miss my family back home is have telephone conversation. But as we all know, calling by phone is quite expensive especially long-distance. I used to call my family twice a week but I cut it to once a week. We can save money if we only call once a week. Most of the time, we just chat online and show our faces in the webcams. It’s more convenient for us. I love chatting with them while watching their faces. LOL! But I’ll tell you frankly; I still want to hear their voices, too. Luckily, I stumble upon a website that might help us save some money for phone calls. CallingAmerica.com is a new ad-supported Web service that lets you make phone calls to any number in the United States from any computer with a Web browser and a broadband connection. It requires you to view a short ad before you place a call. The audio is played through the browser, and the site uses your computer’s microphone to transmit what you say. The registration is for free. It gives you unlimited calls of up to 15 minutes. Isn’t it great? I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. Not only that but unregistered users can make calls of up to two minutes. The most amazing part is that the service works domestically and all over the world. Guys, what are you waiting for? Try a call now.
