my cyber monday!

Tuesday

my cyber monday!I considered yesterday, Monday, a Cyber Monday. Yepey! Why is that so? For the first time in history, I find myself checking on different gadgets in the web. The list starts from electronic gadgets like home theater and television. And then, I checked on computers, DVD’s and even games and game consoles. I don’t understand as why I behave that way. But, it happened and the best thing is that I enjoyed looking at it especially whenever I see great deals. Actually, I like shopping a lot. But, shopping seemed to be elusive to me because I don’t have a lot money. Still that is a good thing. I won’t be able to buy things unless I really need it.

looking convenient cable servicesA few months from now, I decided to terminate my cable services. I really feel too bad since that is the only entertainment I have when all my family members go there separate ways during weekdays. Now, I am left with just five channels that I don’t like.

As I visit my eldest daughter, I feel a little envious that she has cable subscription. Of course, I did not show my agitation over the matter. On my way home my third child keeps on asking if we can get the service back. Honestly I really don’t know I still have to check on that.

As I sat in front of my computer, the first thing I do is checked for cable deals and found Cox cable deals. It’s really interesting and something just grabs my attention. It’s the cable and internet bundle. I have been thinking about that for a long time. To bundle the two gives me both savings and convenience. I will have to pay one bill for two services at the same time. And the charges are cheaper than have both separated. Well, luckily Cox bundle has it all.

I started reading the Cox cable page as I am more interested in cable subscription; the internet is just a bonus. I learned that they offer an amazing number of channels, which are roughly around 250 channels or more depending on the plan. That number is way beyond my expectation. I am used to having 30 channels only.

I am convinced to have my cable subscription back. It is a stress reliever for me. Although I want to bundle both my cable and internet, I have no choice, but settle to separate bills. Bundle service is not available in our area. There is only one company that offers that service. It’s sad that I am not in the US area for any Cox services. I will have to wait few more years before that happen.

Tips in Taking Notes by Mapping

Tips in Taking Notes by MappingThis is an especially effective way to take notes for visual learners.

  • Start with the main idea in a circle at the center of the page.
  • On “spokes” coming out from the main idea, add details that help explain or clarify.
  • Once you are comfortable with this level of mapping, try adding supporting details on additional “branches” coming out from these detail spokes.
  • Try using color to establish relationships between ideas, or between different kinds of information.
  • Practice and try different styles of mapping until you find one that works for you.

got interested with watches

got interested with watchesLast few years, my eldest daughter gave me a watch that I kept on wearing almost every day. It’s her first give and I love it a lot. That is the very time I got interested with different kinds of watch. I keep on visiting sites of different watch brands like Rolex, Cartier, Gucci and so much more. But, I don’t have the luxury to buy that stuff.

The truth of the matter is that even if I will work for a year and save all my income for a piece of those watches, I still won’t be able to afford it. But, I don’t care that much. I have other options aside from buying the original. I can always buy replica watches. Its way cheaper yet it has the beauty the original has.

I have to be honest to myself. I don’t have the amount to buy a luxury watch. Why bother, right? If I am a wealthy person, then I would certainly buy all kinds of luxury watches. But, I am definitely well-aware that I don’t have that capacity. Well, I can actually buy it, granting I will break my savings account that would be a stupid thing to do. I will never do such stupid acts. So, I will have to settle with the replicas. It is still amazing and gorgeous.

importance of caring your colon

importance of caring your colonI never really bothered about my colon. However, some events that shock the country made me realized that it is indeed important to take care of it. I never really had problems digesting food or even removing them out of my body. I regularly flushed them out. But, I learned that there are undigested meat and other foods that cause mucus to build up in the colon and it produces toxins which will poison the body. It’s a scary explanation actually. Because of that, I became more interested in colon cleaners like colonix. However, I need to study more about this product before I could commit to it. Questions like “do I really need to use it” must be answered first.

Medication Error is More Prone to Elders

Medication Error is More Prone to EldersThere are some events occur when a doctor’s or pharmacist’s mistake causes people to leave the drugstore with the wrong medication or the wrong dose of the right medication. Older people are more likely to encounter these mistakes simply because, on average, they take more medications. But older people are more likely to have drug side effects for other reasons, too. Their body tissues can be more sensitive to the effects of certain drugs, their blood levels of a drug may rise higher and last longer and interactions may occur among multiple prescribed drugs.

Basically, the effects of many medications persist until they are inactivated (metabolized), usually in the liver. This process of drug metabolism slows down as people grow older. As a result, side effects can occur because a given dose of a drug may reach a higher and more persistent blood level in an older person than in a younger one. You can’t change your body’s rate of metabolism, but you can do something to minimize adverse interactions among drugs. Most of the doctors writing your prescriptions won’t know what other medications you are taking unless you tell them.

If you can bring along a list of all of your prescription drugs then much better. But if that’s difficult for you, bring all your prescriptions in their labeled containers to your appointments. Pharmacists check for dangerous drug interactions when they fill a new prescription, but they are probably unaware of prescriptions you get filled at other pharmacies. That’s a good reason to try to use the same pharmacy for all of your prescriptions. What is most important safeguard is to have one doctor who serves as the quarterback for all of your medical care. This doctor, most likely your primary care provider, should know about all of your medical problems and all of the drugs you are taking, even if the care and prescriptions for those conditions are provided by other doctors.
