Monthly simple pleasures
It is not ideal to completely leave out yummy foods when your dieting or healthy eating because this causes the Yo-yo effect, after so much resistance, explosion of cravings will then arise, you then will find yourself eating high calorie snacks everyday for months.
If you can give yourself a break even for a day every month; I think you will survive.
I promised myself that every 7th of the month would be my self appreciation day, where I can reward myself with pampering and indulge with my favorite treats.
An ideal S.A. day would be going to the salon, shopping for beauty products or clothes, and topping it all with a comforting dessert.
I am writing this in to remind myself what I had that month and to avoid slips =)
------Date----------------What I had that day
Nov. 7, 2008 = Had chocolate chop cookies and mallows with my sister carlisle.

10 ways to be happier by Gretchen Rubin
1. Don’t start with profundities.
When I began my Happiness Project, I realized pretty quickly that, rather than jumping in with lengthy daily meditation or answering deep questions of self-identity, I should start with the basics, like going to sleep at a decent hour and not letting myself get too hungry. Science backs this up; these two factors have a big impact on happiness. Learn how to Get a Good Night's Sleep.
2. Do let the sun go down on anger.
I had always scrupulously aired every irritation as soon as possible, to make sure I vented all bad feelings before bedtime. Studies show, however, that the notion of anger catharsis is poppycock. Expressing anger related to minor, fleeting annoyances just amplifies bad feelings, while not expressing anger often allows it to dissipate. (See 16 Ways to Manage Your Anger from Real Simple)
3. Fake it till you feel it.
Feelings follow actions. If I’m feeling low, I deliberately act cheery, and I find myself actually feeling happier. If I’m feeling angry at someone, I do something thoughtful for her and my feelings toward her soften. This strategy is uncannily effective.
4. Realize that anything worth doing is worth doing badly.
Challenge and novelty are key elements of happiness. The brain is stimulated by surprise, and successfully dealing with an unexpected situation gives a powerful sense of satisfaction. People who do new things — learn a game, travel to unfamiliar places — are happier than people who stick to familiar activities that they already do well. I often remind myself to “Enjoy the fun of failure” and tackle some daunting goal.
5. Don’t treat the blues with a “treat.”
Often the things I choose as “treats” aren’t good for me. The pleasure lasts a minute, but then feelings of guilt and loss of control and other negative consequences deepen the lousiness of the day. While it’s easy to think, I’ll feel good after I have a few glasses of wine…a pint of ice cream…a cigarette…a new pair of jeans, it’s worth pausing to ask whether this will truly make things better.
6. Buy some happiness.
Our basic psychological needs include feeling loved, secure, and good at what we do and having a sense of control. Money doesn’t automatically fill these requirements, but it sure can help. I’ve learned to look for ways to spend money to stay in closer contact with my family and friends; to promote my health; to work more efficiently; to eliminate sources of irritation and marital conflict; to support important causes; and to have enlarging experiences. For example, when my sister got married, I splurged on a better digital camera. It was expensive, but it gave me a lot of happiness bang for the buck.
7. Don’t insist on the best.
There are two types of decision makers. Satisficers (yes, satisficers) make a decision once their criteria are met. When they find the hotel or the pasta sauce that has the qualities they want, they’re satisfied. Maximizers want to make the best possible decision. Even if they see a bicycle or a backpack that meets their requirements, they can’t make a decision until they’ve examined every option. Satisficers tend to be happier than maximizers. Maximizers expend more time and energy reaching decisions, and they’re often anxious about their choices. Sometimes good enough is good enough.
8. Exercise to boost energy.
I knew, intellectually, that this worked, but how often have I told myself, “I’m just too tired to go to the gym”? Exercise is one of the most dependable mood-boosters. Even a 10-minute walk can brighten my outlook. Try one of these 15-Minute Workouts.
9. Stop nagging.
I knew my nagging wasn’t working particularly well, but I figured that if I stopped, my husband would never do a thing around the house. Wrong. If anything, more work got done. Plus, I got a surprisingly big happiness boost from quitting nagging. I hadn’t realized how shrewish and angry I had felt as a result of speaking like that. I replaced nagging with the following persuasive tools: wordless hints (for example, leaving a new lightbulb on the counter); using just one word (saying “Milk!” instead of talking on and on); not insisting that something be done on my schedule; and, most effective of all, doing a task myself. Why did I get to set the assignments?
10. Take action.
Some people assume happiness is mostly a matter of inborn temperament: You’re born an Eeyore or a Tigger, and that’s that. Although it’s true that genetics play a big role, about 40 percent of your happiness level is within your control. Taking time to reflect, and conscious steps to make your life happier, really does work. So use these tips to start your own Happiness Project. I promise it won’t take you a whole year.

Nobody gets left behind
I love heights.. I love staying on the top of an unfinished building where the sky seems to be in my reach. I love seeing how the gray blob turns into a giant master piece - well that's another story
From all those tambay days that we did during our OJT. Something I saw amazed me most; It was so inspiring, I could watch for hours.
DOVES! I love seeing doves fly around buildings. Kahit nung nasa Malate Catholic School pa ako, I'd stay on the school rooftop watching doves in their routinely flight.
But something caught my eye during one of my dove watching tambays.
You would always see doves fly in groups. I don't know whether if it's like going to school were they practice flying or if it's a bonding thing like a family activity, they are always flying in groups.
The coolest thing that you would see during their flights is how they all go to the same direction at the same time! How do they know when everyone's turning left or right? I think I forgot to observe who the leader of that flock was or probably I already have assumed but just forgot and I also failed to observe how many times they fly around the building;If it depends on endurance or if its a constant number. Probably on my next dove watching I'll do my count.
But the most amazing thing that I saw happened when it was time to land on the top of the building, one of them was still doing the routine flight while the others are already resting. What they did was wait for the solo bird's next round, then some of the resting birds fly with the solo bird, then after finishing that round they all land together. In filipino "Ang galing kase sinundo nila yung ibon na naiwan!". It would have been possible that the solo bird could have stopped and landed by itself but from what the other birds did, I assumed that the solo bird was not capable of that and still needed the guidance of other birds; probably the more experienced ones.
I love seeing acts of kindness from animals. It gives me so much inspiration that we are also capable of doing that, and now from the doves, the message I conclude is: We fly together and land together, Nobody gets left behind.

Cycle bleeding
I COPIED THIS FROM A FORUM
"According to the book Taking Charge of your Fertility by Toni Weschler, a day or 2 light bleeding right around ovulation is normal. It is another fertitlity sign that can help us identify where we are in our cycle. Its usually the result of sudden drop of estrogen just before ovulation & tends to occur more often in long cycle."
3 kinds of bleeding:
1. Ovulation bleeding
2. Implantation bleeding
3. Menstruation
