Making your Bed as Comfy as Possible

If you are like me, then you like to spend as much time in your bed as possible and you never quite enough time in your little nest of blankets to feel really satisfied. Here are some simple tips to make your bed more comfortable and the time you spend in it that much more restful and comfortable. The first tip I can offer you, consider upgrading to a better mattress. I am not just talking about the memory foam that everyone seems to love. I actually do not like memory foam mattresses. I am talking about buying a high quality mattress from a reputable dealer. It was not until I splurged and bought a new mattress of a much higher quality than the lump of metal and synthetic fibers that I had been sleeping on that I actually realized how much of a difference it made. You don’t need to get the most expensive mattress in the showroom, but this is one area where spending a little extra can you’re your life a lot more enjoyable and comfortable.

The quality of the bed frame that you buy will make a big difference as well. If you buy a cheap bed frame that does not fit together well and starts to loosen up shortly after you assemble it, you are not going to be happy with how squeaky your bed is every time you roll over. Do some shopping around and don’t just settle on the first store that has platform beds for sale without comparing models and asking a lot of questions.

Upgrade your bedding with the addition of high fiber count sheets, a memory foam pillow and a down comforter. Now that you have the perfect mattresses and platform beds, you need to avoid ruining the comfort with scratchy or otherwise unpleasant bedding. Many people complain about the mattresses in hotels. My biggest complaint is always the junky bedding. I know that I said I don’t like memory foam mattresses but I love memory foam pillows. They are supportive and have a great firmness that my neck needs.

Pillowssss

My favorite kind of pillow is a neck pillow. I work at an office and I spend my day in front of the computer. Typing and sitting all day can give so much stress especially in the neck and back. I got my neck pillow for my birthday. It's pink and it's a cat. A pink cat neck pillow. If only I can wear them all day, I would. But I look kinda silly sporting it, lol.

Barangay Winner

A noontime show that my family is fond of watching have this contest on being the best baranggay. The winner of the contest will have a choice of a showcase that they can have that can help their community. All the community has to do is to be diligent in participating in the show's games and provide recyclable materials for the show's project.

This week's community won a medical showcase, complete with a fetal doppler for their health center.

Wednesday Meetings

We have a regular updates meeting at the office at 9am on Wednesdays. Discussions are most of the time a drag because of the monotonous accents of most of the people who talks during the meeting. Even a state of the art equipment like availing a service called teleconferencing from ActConferencing.com still won't do the trick. But it's just the team members that discusses the unending bugs and issues with the projects.

Steady

War Horse. I never had the chance to watch in at the cinema. It's the latest from Steven Spielberg. As the title implies, it is about the relationship between a simple boy and his horse that was selected to be a part of the war. I don't know if horses back then uses half chaps, but the plot of the movie is really interesting.

I guess I'll just have to wait for the DVD.

Anyways, I just wanted to share with you guys this video of Up Dharma Down covering Sana Dalawa Ang Puso Ko by the late Bodjie Dasig.


I have been really inspired these past few months to go out and film different bands and load them on my YouTube page. This is the video that has the most views. I already have 80+ videos on my page. I am looking forward to hitting 100 videos by June. 

Lucky Cutie

Needles. Pricks of pins in my heart after hearing Death Cab For Cutie live last Monday at the NBC Tent. I never imagined I would find myself among the fans that cheered and sang along with the band. The ticket for the concert was waaay to expensive, but luckily my friend won a pair of tickets from a radio station and decided to make me her plus one. :) I have been tweeting her my gratitude for the past two days and I am planning on getting her something too.

Cuffs

Last thing to write today is about cuff links. I have been getting a lot of requests to write about it that you can scan my blog and find multiple post about it. Maybe there are a lot of people looking for that piece and getting a lot of hits that I always get assignments to write about them. I've never seen an actual cufflink in my life, but I bet it's something nifty.

Summer Is Here!

The past few days have been a very summer-y weather. Sun is shining as early as 6am and one can feel its wrath by 8am. Flowy dresses and anything comfortable will be the most appropriate thing to wear. Time to take out those cool pair of Ray Ban Aviators. The beach is starting to invade the imagination of everyone who wants to get away.

Road trips, sun block, picnic baskets...summer is already here.

Long Gone

Before I start my research on computer carts, let me take note of the things I need to do today:

• find a copy of Tony Bennett's Duets album
• gather all the photos from the past 18 days and create an entry for on your official blog
• catch up on TV episodes you missed this week
• read a few more pages from your Sherlock Holmes
• answer e-mails
• send e-mails

Sandals

Finding the pefect womens sandals is a must. Rainy season is almost here and I do not want to get my shoes get all soaked. I am size 6 and sometimes it is difficult finding something on sale with my shoe size. You see, they always have shoes on sale but the ones left are bigger.

End of season sales are the in thing at malls right now and I am hoping I can spot one that is my size. I need to buy a sandals and a few more flat shoes.

Pump

A coolant pump came to mind when a friend of mine asked me about a solution to his house problem. He's been having a serious water problem at home and it is driving him mad. It started out one night when he came home from a party. He was all soaked with every drink that soiree had that every woman he rub elbows with had spilled on him. Vodka, cranberry juice, wine, rhum, lime juice...name it, he was showered with it.

He went straight to the bathroom knowing that he needed to take the smell and the icky feeling off instantly when he got home, or his room mate will kill him. But lo and behold, his water pump is broken. It's been making  such weird noises earlier that day but he did not bother checking what's causing it.

And now he'll have to fix this before he can remove the stench of the night that was.

V-Day

Valentine's day is fast approaching. I am not really a fan of the festivities that involves it but this year, I was sort of assigned to come up with gift basket ideas for our company's party. Now I have no idea why they are giving me such task but a demand is a demand and one has to satisfy the bosses.

Chocolates and teddy bear is one idea, but then only the girls would appreciate it. Heart-shaped donuts is another. I know a donut shop near the office that have those heart-shaped treats every year. Maybe a cupcake, red velvet ones, would also do the trick.

Lots to choose from. Good thing, I have plenty of time to decide.

I Want TV

This lg home theatre system will do. Or maybe not, LOL. But seriously though, having my own theatre system in my bedroom is my goal for the year. Maybe have my own TV set by July. Yes, July is my birthday and I want something new in my room. Maybe something like this:

It's a great thing to think about; having my own TV in my room. I love watching movies and I don't mind staying inside my room with all my pillows, maybe a bucket of popcorn and watch my favorite movies all day.

Never Ending Lists

Here we go again with another list of things to do in the coming days. 2010 is almost over but the preparations for the coming New Year's eve celebration isn't over. I just gave myself time to stop and list down some of the things that I must do:

• Ask my aunt to cook for us. Yes, I am not a cook. I only know how to cook three dishes and not one of them is fit for the festivities.
• Send my cousin some information on eyelash growth products. I have no idea what's the sudden interest with this is all about but yeah, anything to help my cousin.
• Update my blogs. And also decide on what topics to write on each of them. I though of sticking to a theme for each blog.
• Clean the house.

Almost here

In 48 hours, it's Christmas again.

In 48 hours, I will be celebrating my 28th Christmas with the family. I have hoped something will change this year but it didn't work out. Or it wasn't meant for me still. Like that POS systems our IT Department have been requesting that's not close to happening.


Everything is in one's mindset I guess. Or keeping the balance of things. I never really had my heart and mind set on finding someone to be with this year. Yes, I met new people, some of them became friends, but they've never shown any interest of being more than friends. Or maybe they did and I was just too busy with something else to even noticed.

Maybe I am destined to be alone. Not that it is bad, but not given a chance to experience having someone else special in ones life other than family is I think unfair. Well, life is not fair to everyone, depending on how one sees it. I sometimes think I'm just going to be stuck here with my folks. I know it is bad but sometimes you cannot help but complain. Not fully enjoying ones life because of family obligations is a bummer, don't you think?

Where are you, my prince?

Life Magazine

Image like this is one of the reasons why I have been spending loads of my browsing time at Life Magazine's website. The online magazine have a chock-full of albums and pages that features candid and not-so-candid shots of celebrities, animals, and regular people (some wearing a plus size dress). One of my favorite spots on the site is their archives. Old photos of big stars like Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, Audrey Hepburn; old photos of the historical events of the world such as World War I, the Vietnam War; and other significant events that one could imagine.

I have been thinking of the magazine's equivalent here in the Philippines. There's only one newspaper here that's over a hundred years old: The Manila Bulletin. I wonder if they have a photo archive as comprehensive as Life Magazine's.

White Noise

I don't need a white noise maker to see everything clearly. Every word that has been said and each of them without reason. Reason that would make the situation better. Time is not a very important thing these days. The time spent knowing the person, helping them and keeping them at best interest doesn't count.

9 months of my time have been wasted. Working on something and then being shut off in a snap is not the best way to end things. But I believe everything is happening for the better.

Notes

Things to write about in the coming days:

•  hard drives
• documentary screening
• movie reviews
• book queues
• plans for the holidays

Yes, I have not been a very good blogger lately. I think I have to build that momentum again. That blogging momentum where I will religiously update my blog if not everyday, at least every other day.

Sounds like a brilliant plan. Hoping I can pull it off.

Toms

As much as I wanted to put this photo on a personalized baby photo frame, I think a more simpler frame will do.

Say hello to my red toms. This one is my favorite shoes from the bunch I have. It's just so comfy to walk around wearing these. I got this for only Php200 pesos. A great deal for someone who's after comfort and is also on a budget. It's been with me for two weeks. Been using it when I know that I will be doing a lot of walking, which is my normal day LOL.
