Chiropractic Help (?)

Earlier this year, I vowed that I'll be seeing a doctor soon to check on the status of my dextroscoliosis. I think it was in 2004 when I discovered through a Pre-employment exam that my spine has an unusual curvature to the left. I was advised that no treatments were necessary then as it was just minor and can be corrected through exercise. I've been hearing about this chiropractic practice and been longing to try it however, I'm not so sure if this is good given my condition.

I've read about Hassel Family Chiropractic (based in West Des Moines, Iowa) and the technique they use which is the highly-effective Gonstead adjusting technique. People of all ages: newborns, infants, teenagers, adults and seniors seek their help for pain relief from back pains and frequent headaches.

One statement in their site caught my attention: "Neglected, spinal problems may worsen and make correction more difficult and expensive later". All the more I'm convinced to schedule a doctor appointment real soon.

14 Days To Go..

Just 14 days to go and our little prince will be celebrating his 2nd birthday already. Wow, I can't believe that another year has just passed and he has definitely grown bigger and matured a lot. It seems it was just yesterday when I gave birth to him and now I have a toddler who's so smart, adorable and a bundle of energy. He's definitely the ultimate source of our joy.

We're forgoing a party this year since we're currently having our very own Little Mansion constructed. But of course there will still be a celebration with our families (my side and hubby's) and we will be treating the little one a trip to an Oceanarium. A post celebration will be held a month after in a beach together with my family. My eldest sister is coming home for vacation from abroad so we will be having a one grand family vacation in just a nearby beach. The Karisma Hotels are also good options but we have to postpone that to some other year due to time and budget constraints. I heard they have the greatest secluded white-sand beaches and the only resort that offers the unique luxury all-inclusive concept in Riviera Maya. Wow..that alone sounds tempting already.

Shouldn't Be Taken With A Grain of Salt.

A recent study about call center employees having a higher risk for contracting the HIV virus has been in the news recently. This somehow caused agitation among employees from the said industry saying that their reputation is being tainted. No offense to them and with all honesty, while this is an alarming issue, I find it not surprising. I once worked for two different call centers as a Finance support team member and I saw first hand what the culture is like among the agents. Some (I'm not generalizing, okay?) are too liberated and wild. It is because of this type of environment and peer pressure that tempts them to do such acts.

The study shouldn't be seen by the said industry as a degrading remark or as an insult. This is a serious health issue that the call centers should address. They should look into this and perhaps start doing their share safeguarding the interest of their employees like increasing their HMO coverage, inclusion of herpes simplex treatment and other pertinent actions. Further, the government should take action before this issue becomes worse.

Early Campaign.

Our locality celebrated its annual fiesta two weeks ago and this is how our streets have been looking like for several weeks now. Such an eyesore, isn't it? The official campaign period for the local posts is yet to start next month but look how they are loudly exposing their faces and names in huge fonts already. Their campaign strategies and intentions are very obvious. Their fiesta greetings are just their "excuse" but come to think of it. Do they really need to greet everyone in such an eyesore form? The money put on these useless materials should have just been donated to their impoverished constituents. They would have been happier.

It's just ironic that these public servants vow to uplift and make promises to make their constituents' lives brighter and safer. But with such streamers dangerously hanged on telephone and cable wires, don't they convey an entirely contradicting message?

Just a personal insight, I don't really care about their very well made up faces (either a result of Photoshop wonders or acne pills) nor how big, how colorful or how much budget your seemingly bragging with all these useless stuffs. My appeal is that, now that the festivities are over, can you please put these dangerous streamers and posters down already?

Make A List.

I have several topics that needed to be blogged within one week. Just seeing how long the roster of my assignments overwhelmed me right away so much that literally ceased my brain cells to function in an instant. I worked so slowly that even a turtle can catch up. Glad, I chanced upon my Starbucks planner and went over my weekly notes. I got ideas and from there, I listed down lead topics and now I'm blogging like crazy, even overflowing with stories and ideas. It's really a time saving tool and all other traffic works should just be left to and taken care by a seo software. So to my colleagues in this kind of online work, I suggest you do the same. Make a list as soon as a new idea pops into your head then come blogging time, blog away like crazy!
