I miss reading books

November 16, 2008

Yeah… I really do. I miss learning from my passive business mentors Robert Kiyosaki on financial freedom and Stephen Covey on personal and time management. I miss reading spiritual insights from Mother Teresa especially about service and love for God and others especially the poor. I miss learning more writing tips from The Pen Commandments such as being considerate about your readers. I miss reading my copy of Get in Great Shape in 21 Days, which doesn’t discuss diet pills but diet tips, beauty regimen and prescribed exercise sets. I miss my personal library collection of books where I get one and place on my bedside table, ready to be read before sleeping time. I also miss jotting down what I have learned, and making personal notes about new insights I’ve realized from these books. Sigh. Something really needs to be done with the way things are these days.

Gaining weight again?

After a series of birthdays in the family this week, I could feel myself gaining weight again. Every morning while thinking about what to eat for breakfast, I would have happily chosen just two slices of bread and hot chocolate, but with all the leftovers in the refrigerator, you just can’t say no to food that has to be eaten so it wouldn’t get spoiled. Just looking at that big billboard advertising one of those top rated diet pills sometimes make me think about trying them but I would still stick to losing weight the natural way with exercise and proper diet.

iGoogle updates

It may not be that noticeable, but something’s new with my iGoogle page. Aside from getting familiar with the Oscar de la Renta theme which I’ve been using for a long time now, I noticed that there are now curved frames for each widget, and on the left side is a Home tab which is actually a list of the widgets being used. I tried to delete the Home tab since I’m not using it anyway and it just takes up space, but to my horror, all my widgets were also deleted. Good thing, there’s an undo option which I immediately clicked. Whew! There are some new iGoogle widgets that can be added but I will have a look at them when I have the time. Recently, I added the Google Trends widget to keep myself updated about hot searches in Google during the day.
