Are you addicted to Facebook games?

April 9, 2010

 

I recently joined Facebook and still hesitant to engage in its offering of various games and applications. I’m just curious though when the statuses of my friends would show up their game levels and their activities on Farmville, Fishville, Petville, Café World, Treasure Isle, Farm Town, Zoo World, Pet Society, Castle Age, and many other games.

Keeping your face young and healthy

One time, my little niece played with her mommy’s moisturizer. She was smiling mischievously, her face smeared with the white face cream as captured on photo by my sis and posted on Facebook. I bet she enjoyed it, not knowing of course what the cream was for. I wonder what she would be doing to her face when the right time comes for her to be responsible for it.

Few weeks ago, I tried to maintain a tedious beauty routine of applying toner and various facial creams to clean and moisturize my face. But when my schedule became too busy, I really couldn’t maintain it as I used to. So these days, it’s just facial toner before going to sleep and washing my face with beauty soap during the day.

Dumaguete trip

 

Aside from catching up on tasks, I’m also sneaking in few minutes doing research on the “City of Gentle People”, Dumaguete, the capital city of Negros Oriental located in the southeast of Negros. Our community has an upcoming prayer rally there and we are set to go there with Dad driving the van for about 5 hours travel time. God-willing, we plan to have a two day tour of the city after the event to maximize our trip going there. I’m still reading up on Dumaguete travel guides to have an idea of must-see tourist attractions, where to dine and things to do.

CCM while working: I heart Hillsong United

I can’t imagine how much great music I have missed all this time. You see I haven’t been keeping myself updated with my favorite artists as I used to in the past. It’s only been few months ago that I reunited myself to contemporary Christian music aka CCM, catching up on the years that I haven’t been listening to the latest songs, music news and album reviews. I am so happy and blessed that I can now watch the videos of Hillsong United on YouTube while searching for the lyrics of their songs.

I realize that playing their music in the background while I’m working help ease the stress and inspire me to do my best. There was even one evening when I stayed until dawn watching their live power-packed worship recording of “This is our God”. Thankfully, I didn’t have any dark circles below my eyes the next day. It’s just that I miss Hillsong so much since I haven’t been listening to them for a long long time. They’re really developing their music style these days and even spearheading “THE I HEART REVOLUTION”, a global community of people that “exists to help people HELP MORE PEOPLE”. Okay, excuse me as I continue with my work… with Hillsong United in the background of course. ;)

Longing for free time

We’re home sweet home again and pondering about the busyness of our schedule, I couldn’t do anything but just heave a sigh. We were packing up at the last minute and leaving some things unfinished. I can compare how my life has been so relaxed in the past. While I was also catching up on tasks, I was not as busy as I’ve been these days. It’s just that so many things are coming up, one after another. I haven’t even been reading quality books or indulging in free time for myself as I used to.

If the problem is your face

Due to dust and pollution, the acne cases of some, especially the teenagers, are getting worse. I’m sure they are doing their best to treat this, resorting to many options. Ugh. I can still remember when I was in high school that I also had acne problems and they really made me anxious about my appearance as the zits can easily be distinguished on my face. I’m just thankful that they just disappeared when I was in college.
