Competition to gain employment is fierce, so how can a would-be worker stand out during the interview process? There are few qualities more noticeable and attractive to employers than self-confidence. Executives value individuals who believe in themselves, knowing that these employees are usually more productive, more pleasant and better able to motivate other staff members. The only problem for businesses is that confidence is in short supply; estimates suggest <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/better/business/why-low-self-esteem-may-be-hurting-your-career-ncna814156">poor self-esteem plagues 85 percent of the population</a>. Self-confidence is a learned behavior, however, so if you’re among those who could use a boost, here are a couple of tips to help you reach new heights.<br />
<h2>
Smile More</h2>
Smiling at others creates a chemical reaction in the brain that naturally makes an individual feel happy, confident and at ease. If dental issues have you feeling insecure about your appearance, however, take it upon yourself to follow strict oral hygiene protocol. In some cases, misaligned teeth are the root of the problem, in which case a professional tooth-straightening procedure may be in order. The Internet can help you find the provider you need when you enter a search for the <a href="https://www.dentistryforchildren.com/our-orthodontic-advantage/">best orthodontist near me south weymouth ma</a>, or wherever you are located.<br />
<h2>
Dress for Success</h2>
Looking your best will help you to feel your best. Always wear clothes that are clean and pressed and avoid loose or ill-fitting garments. If you’re attending an interview, research the company beforehand and dress appropriately for the setting. Some organizations will require traditional business attire, while other companies may offer a more creative and colorful workspace where you can show off your personal style.<br />
Believing in yourself opens the door for others to believe in you. There are many ways to become self-confident, but these tips will start you on the path to a better you.<br />

<i>I originally posted this on my personal Facebook profile in June 16, 2017...</i><br />
<br />
The day I turned 39 was the day I decided to finally start a #Bujo or a #BulletJournal. I'm still not sure whether it would finally work for me or not but, at this point, it sure is a good place to pour out my creative juices.<br />
<br />
So anyway, in an effort to personalize my bujo, I thought of writing my life verse to remind me daily of who I am. Do you have a life verse? It's a Bible verse that speaks directly to you and touches you to the core. Mine is based on <b>Psalms 139:14</b> and I tweaked it a bit to make it speak to me. It now says, <b>"YOU ARE FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE."</b><br />
<br />
Being raised in a typical Pinoy community that thinks labeling is funny, I grew up being #insecure of myself. I was convinced that, to the world, I was not good enough. I was not pretty enough. I was not fair-skinned enough. I was not smart enough. I was not rich enough. And I carried these lies until I became an adult.<br />
<br />
Did you know that, even when I was already in The Feast family for 5 years now, I only came to realize my life verse weeks ago, on my 39th birthday? I was just pondering on how the past years were for me and this verse stood out while I was doing my Daily Devotion. IT WAS GOD WHO SPOKE TO ME. It was a virtual hug from the Lord telling me, "Hey, I MADE YOU. YOU ARE SPECIAL! YOU ARE LOVED!" And it was enough to make me realize that I am not who I thought I was all these years.<br />
<br />
So, yeah...<br />
<br />
Who says I'm not pretty enough?<br />
Who says I'm not slim enough?<br />
Who says I'm not smart enough?<br />
Who says I'm not perfect enough?<br />
My calligraphy sucks? LOL! I don't care anymore.<br />
<br />
Yes, I'm flawed. But I know, <b>I'M SUCH A BEAUTIFUL MESS!</b> Because it's how my Father in heaven made me - fearfully and wonderfully.<br />
<br />

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR0iQPKTEPEWv15gF40qN3oFacaphOFnfyM-uSFx0NwKsVxsJf8wOaz2ogtxACEokMLIGnnrGDH59rmvZ3h_PrgV-7qmobWl2O1qLaPym3yFHwIFAaHYEQzkfrMhfPL0iPXfI0/s1600/remember+who+you%2527re+doing+this+for.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR0iQPKTEPEWv15gF40qN3oFacaphOFnfyM-uSFx0NwKsVxsJf8wOaz2ogtxACEokMLIGnnrGDH59rmvZ3h_PrgV-7qmobWl2O1qLaPym3yFHwIFAaHYEQzkfrMhfPL0iPXfI0/s640/remember+who+you%2527re+doing+this+for.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
First, I would like to honor you for your passion to serve the Lord. As a fellow church servant, I would know that this is often a thankless job. Then again, I'm sure you also know that overwhelming peace and joy that you feel every time you serve. Ang sarap 'di ba? It's a feeling that's indescribable probably because it comes from Jesus' sweet embrace.<br />
<br />
But we aren't perfect. We aren't ok every single day (yes, including Sundays). We get tired. We get sick. We get hurt. We get frustrated. And when any of these happens, we easily succumb to our frailty. We whine. We complain. We sin.<br />
<br />
You know what? That's ok. Because we are humans. It's only by the grace of God that we get the courage and the strength to serve Him despite our frailty and imperfections. Take note, even those holding top positions in the church go through this. So, this isn't weird. You are perfectly normal.<br />
<br />
Everytime you feel tired and frustrated, just remember Who you're doing all these for. It's not for your churchgoers. It's not for your church elders. It's only for Him alone.<br />
<br />
And every time you go through this, don't feel bad. Acknowledge all your weaknesses and surrender your woes to God, our Father. Pray and worship even at your worst. Ask for help from your physical and spiritual family. And most of all, rest. Once you're ready, go back and serve.<br />
<br />
I'll be praying for you. Pray for me, too.<br />
<br />
Be blessed always!<br />
<br />

<br />
Keeping the light and love that Pope Francis left, the upcoming movie entitled <b>“Papa Francisco: The Pope Francis Story” </b>further brings the Pope closer to the nation as the movie takes us back to his younger days in Argentina until the time he was elected as Pope. The movie, also known in other territories as “Francis: Pray For Me” is based on the book <b>“Pope Francis: Life and Revolution” </b>by <b>Elisabetta Piqué</b>, a close friend of the Pope and a correspondent in Italy and the Vatican for La Nación, Argentina’s main newspaper, since 1999. <br />
<br />
<center>
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zbO9S27CKnU" width="560"></iframe></center>
<br />
Pique’s book has been hailed in Argentina as the most complete and up-to-date portrait of the pope. The movie “Papa Francisco: The Pope Francis Story” brings us far back in Buenos Aires when as a teenager, Pope Francis quietly discovered his religious calling, little did he know that this was the first step that would eventually lead him to the Vatican. The movie then takes on the perspective of young Spanish journalist Ana (played by Silva Abascal) who met Jorge Mario Bergoglio (Dario Grandinetti taking on the titular role) at the papal conclave of 2005. It is here that they started a friendship that would be imbued with the same warmth, good mood and wisdom with which the future Pope will astonish both believers and non-believers. <br />
<br />
It is through Ana’s eyes that the audience will follow the long, hard and touching story of Jorge Bergoglio. Father Jorge, as he has always wished to be called, used his position as the archbishop of Buenos Aires as a means to challenge the corruption and abuse of the government dictatorship. Ana was there to see his toughest battles when he gave a voice to those who had none, the victims of prostitution, slavery and drug trafficking within the many shanty towns. Their story comes full circle at the conclave of 2013 when a Jesuit priest coming from South America is elected on the fifth papal ballot as Pope. The son of humble Italian immigrants, he chooses Francis as his Papal name partially in honor of his Grandmother for she impressed upon him the biblical values of Saint Francis when he was a young boy. The name Francis perfectly summarizes the life of Father Jorge. He is a man who placed the Gospel’s message of helping the needy at the heart of his pastoral work.<br />
<br />
Award-winning writer-director and actors abound in “Papa Francisco: The Pope Francis Story” - directed by Beda Docampo Feijoo who won Best Screenpaly in the Argentinean Film Critics Association Awards for his work in the movie “El Marido Perfecto” in 1993 with Juan Bautista Stagnaro with acclaimed actors Dario Grandinetti in the titular Pope Francis role who won an International Emmy Award for Best Actor in 2012 and Silvia Abascal who was awarded Best Actress in Toulouse Cinespana and Malaga Spanish Film Festivals.<br />
<br />
From Pioneer Films, get to know the Pope who fearlessly fought against poverty and corruption amidst overwhelming odds when <b>“Papa Francisco: The Pope Francis Story” </b>opens in local cinemas nationwide this September 30.<br />

I immediately bought a 1-kilo pack to try it because I saw on the label that it has a lower glycemic index. I remember asking my son if he'd like to try it and he said yes. I knew he would agree because he loves to try out "unusual things."<br />
<br />
But you know, corn rice is not really new to me. As a young girl, I have already tried eating corn rice during the many summers I spent in the province. But RiCo corn rice is different because it's orange-colored. I remember eating white corn rice and its texture is softer and stickier.<br />
<br />
<center><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBNBeQ-F2bAlTQQizlEXkSTuSJbbJ-ABJhCxgasIIy0UCh0yx_s7otJ6Efp6f6iYBY5CeixOtLIfOMTbDrtGabZqKuA21ZTPAcsKMg7I2P_eYAXyUyupMhoacCQPQNS5jyjMjf/s1600/IMG_20140608_135639.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBNBeQ-F2bAlTQQizlEXkSTuSJbbJ-ABJhCxgasIIy0UCh0yx_s7otJ6Efp6f6iYBY5CeixOtLIfOMTbDrtGabZqKuA21ZTPAcsKMg7I2P_eYAXyUyupMhoacCQPQNS5jyjMjf/s400/IMG_20140608_135639.jpg" /></a></center><br />
RiCo corn rice is made of 100% Philippine-grown corn fortified with iron and calcium. According to the package, corn rice is:<br />
<br />
<ul><li><b>For controlled blood sugar level</b> - It's best for diabetics and pre-diabetics because of its low glycemic index.</li>
<li><b>For good eyesight</b> - Corn contains the anti-oxidants beta-carotene and lutein.</li>
<li><b>For increased energy</b> - Corn rice provides adequate carbohydrates for energy as well as Vitamin B complex.</li>
<li><b>Aflatoxin safe</b> - These toxins are usually found in stored rice and are hazardous to health.</li>
</ul><br />
<center><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWFPTNyOOxf4ZNBaP8BB3MlUQGwiTM6eezwwczn0QIXkfYOI_XMWQ3kTKSo684xNlH-QwW32CgjuPbr81DldJedf69knkTRL6t85k9NnGhbU0dAXqtL9sfQlrOIP8znhvTEFk0/s1600/IMG_20140608_135756.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWFPTNyOOxf4ZNBaP8BB3MlUQGwiTM6eezwwczn0QIXkfYOI_XMWQ3kTKSo684xNlH-QwW32CgjuPbr81DldJedf69knkTRL6t85k9NnGhbU0dAXqtL9sfQlrOIP8znhvTEFk0/s400/IMG_20140608_135756.jpg" /></a></center><br />
Cooking RiCo corn rice is quite easy and it's similar to cooking regular rice except that it needs a bit more water. When my mom saw this, she immediately told me that it would require more water even before she saw the package instructions. Again, it's based on her experience in the province. White corn rice, apparently, would not need extra water.<br />
<br />
Some important things to remember, though:<br />
<ol><li>The grains should not be washed to preserve its water soluble nutrients.</li>
<li>If a loose and fluffy consistency is preferred, RiCo rice corn should be cooked like pasta. Boil the water first, put the corn rice until it's cooked, then drain the excess water.</li>
</ol><br />

My cooked RiCo rice corn is a hit! I partnered it with grilled squid, much to the delight of my boys because they thought I cooked Java Rice, hehe... (<i>Sosyal daw!</i>) The husband did not know that it was rice corn until I told him that it was. It basically tastes the same as regular rice. Actually, it's yummier if you ask me.<br />
<br />
RiCo corn rice is available in 1-kg, 2-kg, and 5-kg packs. The 1-kg pack I bought from SM Supermarket cost Php 70 while a 2-kg pack costs Php 125. I'm trying out new recipes using Rico corn rice so better stay tuned. By the way, recipes are available at <b>yummyhealthy.ph</b>.<br />

All: I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. And one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.</div>

Are you always trying to look your best? Do you keep a part of yourself hidden while secretly hoping others will notice? If you answered yes to both of these questions, then you just might be a Jay-G!<br>
<br>
Jay-G is a secret agent by day, and a hip-hop star by night. He’s always the coolest guy in the room with his signature tuxedo and dark sunglasses. Not only is Jay-G’s suit crisp, but he always makes it a point to get his hair done fresh. Despite all of his efforts, Jay-G somehow struggles to impress the ladies. <br>

It was so intense, like a leg cramp, that I wasn't able to move for a minute or so. I, then, remembered that I twisted my lower back muscles when I jumped from the floor to the couch after seeing a small mouse the other night. Hilarious, I know! But my back pain's the issue here, hahaha!<br>

Although it may help you burn excessive calories that can accumulate on various body parts, you need certain vitamins and minerals in order to keep yourself optimized. In fact, you could decrease your muscle mass by not providing these nutrients as you exercise. What can you do to keep yourself in prime condition?<br>
<br>
Eating healthier is a great start in order to promote a more positive lifestyle. Altering your meals doesn't have to mean that you need to give up the foods you enjoy. Did you know that correct portion sizes can play a dominant role in healthier eating? For instance, a can of pasta is actually meant for two servings. You are eating two lunches each time you empty the contents of the can into your bowl. By decreasing your intake to proper measurements, you can begin to feel the effects rapidly.<br>

My husband and I are currently hooked on this song I'm sharing with you. It's a song of regret and the speaker in the song only got to realized the importance of his girl when she was already gone. Part of the lyrics go this way:<br>

This is one of the many "what ifs" in my life. I love music and I had lots of fun singing and playing the piano when I was younger. I have little formal training because my parents could not afford the lessons and I don't hate them for that. As young as I was then, I already knew I couldn't make a living with music.<br />
<br />
But hearing my boy compliment my singing made me re-think and remember this "what if." People compliment my singing but it's a different feeling when I heard it from Rap. He said I should've been a singer and I should've joined singing contests to get famous. I told him that he will be the one to continue that dream. That's why we enroll him in in piano and voice lessons while we can still afford it. I think he has a better future in music than me.<br />

Jerry Morris did studies with occupational data on health for heart disease. Doctors and scientists joined the cause and by the 1970s, the numbers of people dying from some form of cardiovascular trouble dropped dramatically in many parts of the world. The trend of fighting heart disease by medical treatment and healthy lifestyle habits has spawned an industry promoting heart health. While heart disease is still common in many countries around the world today, people are dying at a much slower rate than before the 1970s in a big part because of the coordination of medicine and healthy lifestyle products and incentives currently on the market.</p>

If you are like me who's having problems in conceiving, then the activities prepared for this year's <strong>Fertility Awareness Week</strong> is for you.</p>

It takes so much effort to be able to manage our blood sugar levels effectively so as to avoid further health complications. Aside from having myself checked up often and checking my blood sugar regularly, I also take advantage of opportunities that I know can help me manage my diabetes easily. One such opportunity is the <b>Glucerna® 1-2-3 Challenge</b>. <br>

It does look masculine, don't you agree? Although I don't really have hair on my legs, I do need to regularly remove hair from my underarms. the process is painful when plucked (or even waxed) so I'm always looking for products that can make the task bearable.<br>
<br>
One of the products I tried is <b>Veet</b>. Veet is available in cream and in cold wax strips and I have tried both. Of the two, I prefer <b>Veet Hair Removal Cream</b> more, obviously because it's the one that's less painful to work with. With the spatula, I just put the cream directly onto my skin, leave it for 3 to 6 minutes, then scrape it away after. The hair comes off with the cream. I usually do this before I take a shower because it needs to be rinsed after.<br>

For me, what was important was just feminine hygiene. I knew that being clean down there would make me safe from harmful bacteria. That was until I discovered that I was wrong. Good thing, <b>RepHresh</b> vaginal gel can help keep our pH levels at bay.<br>

So when <b>Third Eye Wellness</b> invited me, along with other bloggers and media people, to experience <b>ThetaHealing®</b>, I said yes right away. I wasn't that familiar with ThetaHealing® but, from what I read, I gathered that it has to do something with the emotional healing. <br />
<br />
<center>
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mauieflores/9207908284/" title="2013-06-18 Theta Healing 02 by Mauie Flores, on Flickr"><img alt="2013-06-18 Theta Healing 02" height="375" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7423/9207908284_98ba59d0e1.jpg" width="500" /></a></center>
<br />
ThetaHealing® is a method of healing that allows a patient to get in touch with his/her emotions and thoughts to transform negative belief systems into positive thoughts. <b>Sanaiyah Gurnamal</b>, founder and owner of the Third Eye Center in Dubai and Manila, mentioned that "most, if not all diseases are rooted in our emotions." Negativity blocks energy which makes the body weak. I strongly believe in this premise. Remember when I said <u><a href="http://www.maureenflores.com/2010/10/no-stress-for-this-diabetic.html">goodbye to teaching</a></u> and to "<u><a href="http://www.maureenflores.com/2011/02/dealing-with-emotional-vampires.html">emotional vampires</a></u>" to lessen my daily stress? Managing diabetes has been easier after I did those.<br />
<br />
But before we were further introduced to ThetaHealing®, we were first treated to a relaxing back massage at the center's <b>Transcend Spa & Nails</b>.<br />
<br />
<center>
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mauieflores/9205138787/" title="2013-06-18 Theta Healing 03 by Mauie Flores, on Flickr"><img alt="2013-06-18 Theta Healing 03" height="500" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3798/9205138787_f498e413e8.jpg" width="375" /></a></center>
<br />
What really caught my attention was the rack of <b>Sparitual</b> vegan nail polish by the entrance. I'll definitely come back and have a nail treatment here because of the vegan nail polish.<br />
<br />
<center>
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mauieflores/9205149285/" title="2013-06-18 Theta Healing 04 by Mauie Flores, on Flickr"><img alt="2013-06-18 Theta Healing 04" height="375" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3767/9205149285_120617a65d.jpg" width="500" /></a></center>
<br />
While waiting for the others to have their back massages done, I went around and checked the rooms where the therapies are done. Interestingly, the rooms are named after the elements: <b>Fire</b>, <b>Air</b>, <b>Water</b>, and <b>Earth</b>.<br />
<br />

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mauieflores/9205200419/" title="2013-06-18 Theta Healing 08 by Mauie Flores, on Flickr"><img alt="2013-06-18 Theta Healing 08" height="320" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5347/9205200419_67418fecf5.jpg" width="240" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mauieflores/9205157673/" title="2013-06-18 Theta Healing 05 by Mauie Flores, on Flickr"><img alt="2013-06-18 Theta Healing 05" height="320" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3832/9205157673_7481b1f313.jpg" width="240" /></a><br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mauieflores/9207950848/" title="2013-06-18 Theta Healing 06 by Mauie Flores, on Flickr"><img alt="2013-06-18 Theta Healing 06" height="320" src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2840/9207950848_8e62390eb4.jpg" width="240" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mauieflores/9205179971/" title="2013-06-18 Theta Healing 07 by Mauie Flores, on Flickr"><img alt="2013-06-18 Theta Healing 07" height="320" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3775/9205179971_2236793905.jpg" width="240" /></a></center>
<br />
Then, I lingered for a while at the <b>Chakra Cafe</b> chitchatting with Badet of TheMisisChronicles.com. We were served warm Funky Lemon Peach Tea.<br />
<br />
<center>
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mauieflores/9205115583/" title="2013-06-18 Theta Healing 01 by Mauie Flores, on Flickr"><img alt="2013-06-18 Theta Healing 01" height="375" src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2894/9205115583_577ff79c67.jpg" width="500" /></a></center>
<br />
By the time we went to the room where Sanaiyah introduced ThetaHealing® and The Third Eye Wellness, my senses were already fully relaxed and rejuvenated.<br />
<br />
<center>
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mauieflores/9207998116/" title="2013-06-18 Theta Healing 09 by Mauie Flores, on Flickr"><img alt="2013-06-18 Theta Healing 09" height="375" src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2828/9207998116_f0c0c2779f.jpg" width="500" /></a></center>
<br />
Sanaiyah came across ThetaHealing® in 2009, which she saw as a perfect blend of science with spirituality. Inspired to share its miraculous physical, mental and spiritual results with the world, she pursued a Master’s Degree from the ThetaHealing® Institute of Knowledge in the United States, learning from <b>Vianna Stibal</b> who had designed the technique to cure herself of cancer. Today, she is a ThetaHealing® Master Practitioner and Instructor; a holder of the Certificate of Science, the highest certification in ThetaHealing®, and is currently the only expert practicing in the Philippines.<br />
<br />
After her short talk, we were then partnered with healers and had our ThetaHealing® session. The core process of ThetaHealing® begins with deep meditation that activates the Theta brain wave, connecting the patient to the Creator of the Universe, or their personal Higher Power. This state of mind allows the patient to tune into the energy of Creation, the ultimate catalyst for change in physical, mental and spiritual well-being.<br />
<br />
My healer, Nina, had a voice that's so friendly and relaxing that I did not hesitate in opening up because it was as if I was talking to a bestfriend. I told her that I have a problem with my ovaries and I want to get pregnant again and she started helping me remember how the problem started. It was very much like a therapy session with a shrink but with deep meditation. I was seeing colors while my eyes were closed and the colors changed as we went deeper into my memories.<br />
<br />
I think my session took almost an hour because, when I opened my eyes, there were only few people left in the room! It was really very relaxing and it was a relief talking about that painful childhood memory. Was I healed of my polycystic ovaries? I'm not really sure. But the following day, I had a runny nose and I was coughing like crazy. I asked a friend who has already tried ThetaHealing® and she said that it could be that I'm releasing. I know that I would need more ThetaHealing®sessions to be fully cured.<br />

In tune with passing years and experience, our bodies and health will inevitably become a changing circumstance, betraying our stamina and physical resilience. Make no mistake - the body will always need regular, complex activity to stretch, strengthen and tone muscles to ensure an enjoyable lifestyle. Don't be dissuaded by stiffness, decreased mobility, health complications or deteriorating muscle mass; you CAN conquer your body in your twilight years. Smart fitness can lead to a longer, happier life, a higher self-esteem and social contentment.<br>

It is for this reason that many employers now offer employee wellness programs as an employee benefit, and the reduction in employee sick days also has a positive impact on the company. <br>

As usual, food trips will not be missed in vacations like this one. With so many hawker centers around, it was so hard to resist the urge to grab a bite every time we had the chance. But our holiday is over and now it's payback time. I started not eating rice again at dinner to make up for all the Chicken Rice I devoured in SG, haha! I will also revamp our weekly menu to include healthy food that is perfect for one who's trying to lose weight.<br>

That's the life of a freelancer like me. Oftentimes, I wish that I had more than 24 hours in a day just so I could finish everything I need to do. It would be normal for me to sleep at 12 midnight and wake up at 4:30 am to help the boys prepare for work and school. I try not to get sick because it would be surely chaos here at home when I do so I supplement with Vitamin C. Lately, taking Vitamin C is not enough to boost my immunity. <br>
<br>
I learned that to really be immune from diseases, I should also strengthen my white blood cells. Why? Watch the video below:<br>
