Prolong Your Life With Fun - Continuation

As promised here is the continuation of our fun. (5) Relax. When we are relaxed, our heart rate and our blood pressure are normal. Let us learn to relax even if there are things trying to cause us stress. As I've said, senior citizens passed that stage already. (6) Exercise. For some people, exercise is a work, when it should be play. When you play there is fun. You don't feel tired. But be careful because there are sports that are tiresome. Bowling is a strenuous sports, so don't engage in that.

(7) Sleep a lot. Sleep will give your body relaxation and boost your immune system. But do not sleep the whole day. There are 24 hours a day. If we sleep for 8 hours, we still have 16 hours left for our activities. We still can have lots of fun and productive activities to do.
(8) Remember your loved ones. Some of our children or relatives are away from us. Remembering them without doing anything will give us loneliness that may lead to depression or mental illness. Stay connected with them. The internet is the best way of getting in touch with them. Wherever they are they will only be a click away from us.

(9) Solve puzzles to exercise your brains. Our brains should not be left stagnant. We should also have an account with Facebook or Friendster. And we should YM our friends to stay connected and have our brains work. Write articles about anything, or be a blogger like me. (10) Cultivate positive attitude. Remember that positive poles attract positive energies and negative poles do the same. Research said that being positive will give us years of fun and meaning of life.

Let us live long and be happy. Even if they say that life after death is happier, who can prove it?

Prolong Your Life With Fun

Everyone dreams to live long. That is why even senior citizens queue at drugstores to buy medicines to prolong their lives. For them vitamins protect them from illnesses usually suffered by people in their senior stages.

There are other ways to prolong our lives, not so seriously but with fun. Let's find out what they are: (1) Two glasses of red wine a day. Expensive - but if it will provide us antioxidant to prevent aging, then why not. Pull out our savings and give ourselves a little fun. (2) Eat dark chocolate. Another expensive item but again dark chocolates contain antioxidant that lowers our blood pressure and of course, prevent aging. Just a little bit everyday will give us fun. But I sold my personal ref in my bedroom, how will I hide this from my children!

(3) Smile. Change your attitude by smiling even if there are things that don't make us smile. Let us trick ourselves, anyway, we are not supposed to be stressed. We had passed that stage already. So let's have fun by smiling. It will change our mood and prolong our life.
(4) Have sex, of course with your partner. If you don't have partner anymore, just keep on smiling and don't ever think about sex. Instead of prolonging your life, it might be cut short. But for those who have partners, having frequent sex may extend your life for years according to research. When you have sex, the body releases some assortment of beneficial chemicals.

There is a continuation so you can watch for it.

Applying for a DSL Connection

I did not realize that a DSL connection is better than the wireless broadband service that I have now. My daughter has been giving me specific instructions on applying for a DSL service. She says that I should be taking advvantage of my phone line and should link a DSL service to it.

I have been using my wireless broadband for more than two years. When weather is bad, my internet connection is affected. Now that I am retired, internet is my life. I am online everyday as the internet helps me get connected with my old life in some ways. I get to talk to my nephews and nieces who are abroad and I also get to exchange emails with my former officemates.

So, yes, I am quite convince that I should get a DSL connection now. I am currrently reading some DSL Service reviews that give me insights on raves and rants of my current phone line provider. If you are not really a tech savvy person like me, I recommend that you brush up on your DSL review readings. If you are in the States, you may check reviews of DSL services that are available in your area. Discover great telecom deals and plans from Spectrotel.

Continuous Training for Professionals

Learning does not end in school. Even in our present careers, we need to be constantly on our toes and improve our craft. We should not settle on what we have studied in school because technology is ever changing and it is inevitable so as to make our jobs easier.

Although most employees realize the need for continuous training, the fact that attending trainings and seminars cost money prevent them to pursue further studies. Some fortunate ones have employers who hire a production company for corporate training video and make the initiative to train their employees. I hope that this is the case for everyone in the corporate world. You see, employers should realize that this is only a small investment for the good of the whole organization. Through continuous training, work is maximized for greater profits. It will then be a win-win situation for both the company and the employer.

Employees are part of a company's asset. Employers should realize that, as with any other asset, taking care of their employees through giving them continuous trainings is vital to the overall success of the organization.

Surviving The Hard Times

We Filipinos have a saying that when the blanket is short, one must know how to crouch. That means that when there is financial difficulty, you should know how to spend less and make more money. It is often easier said than done, believe me. Many have fallen into the trap of overspending and just making loans to make up for what they owe. It should never be this way... EVER.

I believe that during hard times, it is best to find ways to make ends meet. We should not be contented with just what we are making. If we are, then, we will never rise from these financial difficulties. I, for example, have not stopped in finding ways to earn income even after I retired. Other working women, on the other hand, have even discovered how to sell gold jewelry for extra cash. In fact, in the US, this is becoming a trend. The latest news about the US to trade gold for cash through Cash4Gold has gotten everyone pretty excited for the economy. Discover selling gold online from the Cash4Gold company here.

How about you? What are you doing to survive these hard times?

Health of the Body, Health of the Nation

I felt guilty by not writing for several weeks. I became used to my regular blogging and now I feel bad because I feel I did not do my duty. What duty am I talking!

Thinking of many things that would make you move is a healthy habit. My experience is that as I try to figure out the solution to whatever problem I think I have, the more active my adrenalin pours. So if it happens while I am cleaning the house, I don't stop until I could think of the best solution. If the problem is easy, the cleaning stops. And that may not be healthy (?)

Speaking of health, I was relieved when I saw the former president's (President Cory) picture with a note that she is out of danger and out from the ICU. She has to be in good health because she can still contribute to the welfare of the country. President Gloria had herself quarantined after coming from a trip abroad. That is a good gesture for a leader.

Leaders and presidents... everybody is getting ready for the presidential race next year. Let's be optimistic in hoping that this computerization would bring the true winner.
