Tired of Watching What You Eat?

Have you ever heard of the place Hotrocks? It is a grillery near Eastwood City, Libis along C-5 and they serve good steaks. But eating the there last night made me aware of how I should start being careful about eating too much meat and fatty food. Especially as I have begun learning about detoxification through a web site I set up called Total Detox and through a health supplement site, http://chitogenics.net. This site is all about ChitoGenics Weight Loss with Hoodia or Green Tea, Appetite Suppressant Patch, Detox and Cleanse Nutritional Digestive System Supplement - New Life Products.

It is important to eat healthy and sometimes eating healthy feels like I need to cut down on some real delicious food. But with assistance in detoxification and with the help of health supplements from ChitoGenics, stirring clear from food you like doesn’t have to happen.

ChitoGenics has products like the ChitoGenics Hoodia Formula which is a weight-loss management aid. Their site claims that it isn’t a magic potion or a quick solution that will make you lose weight in the blink of an eye. ChitoGenics Hoodia Formula is a revolutionary weight loss pill that an help users lose weight effectively by preventing fat absorption, suppressing one’s appetite and gently boosting metabolism to help burn calories faster.

The other product I like that they have is their green tea formula. This one claims to increase one’s energy level and regulate a person’s stress hormone level. The Chitogenics Green Tea Formula is said to work by again preventing the body from absorbing up to 30 grams of fat, promotes the fat burning process by safely increasing a person’s metabolism and regulates the Cortisol level giving maximum weight-loss.

This web site has other products aside from these and you can check them out and learn more about the other products at http://chitogenics.net. Visit this website now.

We Were at the 2nd Philippine Homeschooling Conference

Yesterday, my wife and I attended the 2nd Philippine Homeschool Conference Helod at Christ's Commission Fellowship. The speakers were Pastor Peter Tan-chi, his wife Deonna, Edric Mendoza, Pastor Bernard Marquez, Ms. Felichi Pangilinan-Buizon and Mr. EJ McKnight.

The speakers discussed foundations and principles behind home schooling and the role of parents like us in educating our children, it also focused on modeling, affirming children and mind mapping.

We found this conference very timely as we are planning to start homeschooling our three-year old next year. And through this conference, we have actually considered not just homeschooling him for a year, which was our initial plan, but for a longer period even.

We are still in the process of scouting for programs to use but right now we are bent towards using School of Tomorrow (formerly known as Accelerated Christian Education) materials. We hope that we would be able to impart to our child a strong love for God and His word and help build his character up as we homeschool him.

Free Game for Review by Parents

The holiday season is fast approaching and people all over are starting to get busy with decorating their homes, setting up Christmas lights and putting up a tree. What comes naturally after putting up a Christmas tree is seeing the empty space beneath the tree. Parents begin to think of gifts to give to their children, making them excited as they place the wrapped gifts underneath the decorated and lit Christmas tree.

Well, here is a treat for parents like me. If you are familiar with the movie, The Princess Bride, you know what? There is a PC/MAC game that was made after this movie. It is the 5 pack of Princess Bride Game which is the perfect gift for the season.

No, that isn’t the good news yet. The good news is that parents can get a FREE COPY of this Princess Bride game. PrincessBrideGame.com is looking for parents who can review the game and who else could better get it than you. They are looking for gamers and gamer parents. This will also help you test the game and see for yourself if your children would like it as their gift for this season. So what are you waiting for? Visit them now and register!

Thanks for the Movie Premiere, Nuffnang!

The Movie Premiere of Burn After Reading held last Tuesday, November 18 sponsored by Nuffnang in cooperation with Viva Entertainment Inc and Robinsons Movie World was great! Not the movie, but the event! I know that it has been a few days since this event that I am about to blog about has passed, but I just couldn't keep myself form blogging about it.

This isn't a movie review so I won't write much about Burn After Reading. I want to congratulate Nuffnang Philippines for the effort they exerted to grow the relationship among bloggers. My wife and I recognized some of the bloggers whose sites we bump into online (because of their avatars). I personally met a friend blogger, Sonnie, the man behind Sonnie's Porch, and his wife. I also met Geraldine Malagueno, Nuffnang Philippines' GM, and after the event met a new blogging friend, Camille.

I had my picture taken with Sonnie (center) and Ms. Jing.

It was also a bonus to have received an unexpected recognition and an Italianni's gift certificate for being the first blogger among the 70 who were awarded the movie premiere tickets.

(Charles, Ms. Jing, me and Camile)

It was, over all, a successful event because it sort of broke the ice among the Nuffnang blogging community. Congratulations and thank you again, Nuffnangers!

Going to the Big Apple?

Have you ever thought about going to the Big Apple? Well, I have. In fact, I have always thought about being able to walk around the streets of New York, in the safe areas at least, or visiting the city with family or a group of friends. It is always nice to tour around with a bigger company. The more, the merrier!

In New York City, there are many ways to get around. There is, of course the cab. But when traveling with a group, one of the best ways to travel is through New York Bus Charter. This is a company that uses the domain nycbuscharters.com and provides charter transportation services for touring groups. It doesn’t matter if the size of the group is not so big, like 9 people, or as many as 57 passengers. This service provides buses to any destination. In addition to that, their vehicles are environment friendly.

Aside form these, they also provide excellent service, claiming to provide safe, on-time and courteous staff, customer assistants and drivers. They pride themselves of great luxury coaches which are climate controlled and complete with amenities to make everyone comfortable. So when planning a trip to New York, visit this web site first to secure your transportation needs.

High Hopes?

I don’t’ want to get my hopes up again but I think I might have a chance to get an Asus N10J. My in-laws e-mailed us about the early Black Friday sale and I am hoping that the Asus N10J will be on sale. I like this netbook far better than Lenovo S10, MSI Wind and Asus Eee PC 1000H because it has a dedicated 256MB graphics memory, which is like having a video card for a desktop, compared to having just a dedicated or integrated graphics memory which the other laptops have. I just hope that it will be put on sale and with a great discount. If not, then I would have to settle for the Asus Eee PC 1000H

Our Three Generations

I am looking forward to this holiday season. And for many Christmas holidays I have always hoped to celebrate them with my dad around. Being based in Davao and having a weird schedule in the company he is in has really kept him from being around this past three years. And after what happened last year when he had signs of a stroke and almost had one, I have really hoped for him to retire and settle down. But, I guess he doesn't want to and I just hope that for this holiday season he would be around. That would be cool to have three generations together, my dad, me and my son.

I Won Movie Premiere Tickets From Nuffnang!

I was so glad to receive an e-mail from Nuffnang that I was one of the winners of two tickets to the premiere. So I guess my wife and I will be going out on a movie date tomorrow and we're also excited to meet some of the other bloggers who are Nuffnagers, too.

If you happen to be one of the bloggers please feel free to leave a message in my chat box or comment on this post so we can meet up tomorrow night. It really is cool to be a part of Nuffnang!

Below is the e-mail I received form Nuffnang:

Pumpkin Tag

Thanks, Angelnoah for this tag!

Proverbs 22:5-6 In the paths of the wicked lie thorns and snares, but he who guards his soul stays far from them. Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. All children must learn that there is only one King of all Kings and Lord of Lords and that is: Jesus Christ!

I am passing this tag to Luck Toe, mhaileon, Reviews Corner, Diamonds and Fashion Jewelry and Rapid Debt Reduction.

Second MissionsTrip to Palawan

This January, our organization, Breaking Point Foundation, will be returning to Puerto Princesa, Palawan for another missions trip. Compared to our trip last August, we hope that on this trip we would be able to present our program to more students. We are currently coordinating with our partners in Palawan and talking about stuff we will be needing like accommodation and transportation similar to airport shuttle rides.

There is a web site that specializes in providing affordable, on time and safe shuttle services. GoAirLinkShuttle.com provide transfers between JFK, LaGuardia and Newark Airport. Those needing JFK or Newark Airport Shuttle can have the assurance of daily operations that feature twenty-four hours, seven days a week online reservations, on time and reliable service, customer service assistance in every terminal, a large fleet of transport vehicles that can accommodate four to fifty-six passengers but have separate luggage compartments and have upholstered seats and good air conditioning or heating (whichever is appropriate). They have links in their site to special offers, airport shuttle ride fare quotes and tours and attractions.

How nice it would be to have this kind of service on January. But of course, it will all depend on the funds we will be able to raise for the missions trip to Puerto Princesa, Palawan.
