Thinking Out Loud

It took a while before I finally found the time to go through the life insurance quotes I got. I need to get a new life insurance coverage for my grandparents. The ones they have are expiring in a month. Good thing I have friends working for a big insurance company and they managed to keep the rates as is.

I am choosing from the quotes today. And then I will let them talk to my grandparents directly for the other details. Some relatives are really going to me to ask for help with their insurance coverage. They know that I have friends working for the industry so they know I can ask their help when needed.

I am not much of a kitchen person. I love hanging out at the kitchen watching family members cook. But for me to tinker around myself… now that’s something that will boggle the mind of my family!

My sisters want me to learn how to use the kitchen. They are thinking that I might find myself somewhere alone and I wouldn’t know what a pot and a pan are. So they asked me to get an all clad copper core cookware and some kitchen utensils. I can easily do that because I will have the help of the sales persons from the store. But they knew it so they gave me another task. Use the things I will buy and cook them pasta.

I am still thinking if I should just ignore their orders! Ha! Ha! Ha!

I got different quotes from three car insurance companies. John, my older cousin, asked a favor from me. He wanted me to get the best quote I can get and he would go for it. He is swamped with work right now so I can understand why he needs my help.

Anyway, so I am studying the quotes and listing down pros and cons. I will probably be able to choose the best one later in the day. And then I will go to John’s office to give him my choice quote. He has two cars, an SUV and a truck. So the winning company will get to provide coverage for his two cars.

Cousin Frieda is an insomniac. Even if she needs to get up at six in the morning, she manages to get some much needed shut eye by three in the morning already. It is really a struggle for her to get some sleep each and every night. Her doctor gave her a list of things she should do to induce sleep. Someone also told her to take a natural sleep aid.

She’s been getting sick the past few months. Lack of sleep plus pressure at work is doing her in. Her body is getting weak so she needs to do what her doctor told her and get enough sleep that she lacks.

I get to chat with my friend who is now living abroad. She is already experiencing symptoms of a pregnant woman. She hasn’t checked yet but she is sure she’s conceiving. She took a prenatal vitamin before we continued with our chat. Her husband is at work and she’s home because she feels sick. It might be morning sickness because it was already afternoon when we got to chat and she looked fine to me.

It is good to catch up with old friends who are already living elsewhere. I just love chatting with them.

I was teasing my sister about buying two DVD’s of the best fat burning exercises. She bought a set of aerobics DVD’s before that she just left somewhere to gather dust. I am teasing her that she might do the same to the new ones she bought.

But I can see that she’s really determined. I wish I can say the same for me. I have been always trying to lose weight. The thing is, I end up just trying and not really doing what needs to be done.

Josie is allergic to creams. For some reason, she develops rashes when she tries to apply even a drop on her skin. So instead of cream, she bought an acne face wash instead. She has acne but is slowly solving that problem of hers. She immediately sought help when she realized she has some on her face.

That’s how you prevent something from spreading. You immediately get help or do something to stop it. Just like what Josie did.

I was laughing so hard when my gay friend told me he’s taking some diet pills for women because he feels like one. Well, I know he’s a woman trapped in a man’s body. I love to spend time with this friend of mine. We bond over food. We are both overweight and with him, I can just be myself, eat fatty and oily foods and just be normal. I feel like we’re actually sisters.

But now, we are both determined to lose weight. Our goal is ten pounds a month. So we are embarking on this weight loss journey and we’re each others’ support system.

Sally would often prick her pimples. Instead of making it go away, she worsened its condition and she developed acne because of it. It spread on her face and when you look at her, you’d think you’re looking at a big pimple with eyes, nose and mouth.

She was told to take acnepril. If there’s a pimple, don’t prick it yourself. You can go to a dermatologist and ask the doctor to prick it for you. They have a medicine for that. You don’t know if there’s dirt on your fingernails it might go into your pimple wound and infect it.

I managed to psyche myself into NOT drinking any sodas. I’ve been without a drop of it for a couple of months now and I am happy I found the determination to follow through. There are days when I feel like popping a can but I would think about the sacrifice I already made. The temptation would melt away.

I found weight loss drinks that I can probably substitute for the occasional craving for soda. I’ll let you know how it works.

My cousin is a very appreciative person, even with the small things that come his way. He doesn’t ask for anything from his parents. He just accepts whatever they give him. Because of this, my uncle is very fond of him. He is very proud of the fact that his son is not materialistic. So for his 18th birthday, my uncle bought him a second hand truck. He can use it going to the university. My uncle knows that it is a hassle for my cousin to go home especially at night when the metro railway is already closed. Now my cousin won’t have any problems going home at night.

I saw him checking out truck accessories the other day when I dropped by for a visit. He wants to replace the mags of the truck as well as car floor mats. But he will have to save up for it first. He won’t be asking his dad for money to be able to buy the accessories he wants for his truck. He will buy it one at a time so he can afford it. He will get the accessories out of his allowance.

We took the truck out for a ride and I am impressed at how smooth the ride was. My cousin is a good driver. The truck is truly in good condition. Just a few new accessories just like what my cousin plans and the truck will look as slick as if it’s brand new!

Hey, you might be looking for truck accessories like my cousin as well. Go to CARiD.com right away and find the accessory you are looking for. You can find all the truck accessories you need there, from all the well-known brands. You know you want to make that truck look hot. If you do, then CARiD.com can easily help you.

I saw a classmate from high school buying incontinence products at the local pharmacy store. I was surprised to see her looking so worn out. She said that she’s taking care of her grandfather. He has Alzheimer’s disease. It would have been fine with her to take care of her grandpa because she’s a licensed practicing nurse. But she’s also pregnant with her first baby and she’s finding it hard to balance both.

I hope she’ll be able to do something with her situation. It isn’t easy taking care of someone sick. Most especially if you are also feeling sick because of your pregnancy!

My dad lost his travel reward card in the mail. Someone took it and we have a pretty good idea who it was. I was telling my dad about getting a security camera already because there are people who are new to the neighborhood. We don’t know them and we feel like they are the ones who are taking some mails missing not only in our patio but in other neighbors as well.

Guess my dad has to call the company to replace it now.

If I can only devote my time to learning the best ab workout there is, believe me, my abs would have been wonderful! I have a flubby tummy. I would want it to be toned but I get dizzy doing crunches. I tried doing something else but it wasn’t effective.

My sister is really good with crunches. I can already see her efforts paying off. I am hoping to do the same but I need to muster enough strength to overcome the dizziness first.

Haze is asking me about lipozene. She thought I took it because I was telling her about diet pills the last time we talked. I told her that I wasn’t able to take anything because I had to check with my doctor first. It might be bad for my heart so the go signal of a medical expert is a must for me.

I think Haze is determined to lose the weight she gained during her pregnancy. I can see that determination in her eyes.

She forgot what her boss told her to do. She was being asked to check out online life insurance quotes. But because she was focused on her meetings with vendors, she forgot to do it. When her boss arrived from an out of town trip, she was castigated for forgetting a simple instruction. Good thing it’s so easy now to get quotes online and she was able to do it within a few hours of her boss’s arrival.

My technique in not forgetting things is simple… write it down! I keep a notebook of instructions and must remember with me all the time and look at it from time to time. That way, I get to do everything on my list.
