Discovering Diamond

I was very excited to learn about Diamond Fastener. This is because I have a friend who works as a line maintenance crew and I could not wait to share with him about Diamond Fastener. I am pretty sure that the information will be helpful for him. As I have checked the website, I am very impressed with the company’s web content. It is pretty simple and the navigation bar is user-friendly. Each button will effortlessly lead you to the information that you need.

One thing I noticed with Diamond Fastener as I have been browsing their buttons, the information is concise. You would not get stuck reading the content. The general idea is presented in a straightforward manner. The contact address, phone and fax numbers as well as the email address are placed accessibly. The RFQ has a special navigation button which makes it convenient to the clients.

However, what bothers me while reading was the font size. It is too small. I have to adjust my screen to zoom in the text display. Other than that, I am satisfied with my visit to the site. I have learned about their products and services.

Restless Heart

I found this music video and I am super elated. I am a fan of Restless Heart.




(written by Marc Beeson and Sonny LeMaire)
The road I have travelled on
Is paved with good intentions
It's littered with broken dreams
That never quite came true
When all of my hopes were dying
Her love kept me trying
She doesn't has to hide
The pain that she's been through

(Chorus)
When she cries at night
And she doesn't think that I can hear her
She tries to hide all the fears she feels inside
So I pray this time
I can be the man that she deserves
'Cause I die a little each time
When she cries

She's always been there for me
Whenever I'm falling
When nobody else believed
She'd be there by my side
I don't know how she takes it
Just once I like to make it
Then the tears of joy
Will fill her loving eyes
(Repeat chorus)

So I pray this time
I can be the man that she deserves
'Cause I die a little each time
When she cries

tamarind

I must be pregnant if you see me eating green mangoes... or maybe my hormones have really gone worst... but I simply do not crave for green mangoes... I rather go for TAMARIND! I love tamarind...fresh tamarind...candies... i go gaga with tamarind.

A friend brought this tamarind candy one time in Lifeline. From then on, I have been asking my friend to buy me Moniegold Tamarind candy whenever she goes home to Davao. Lately, the store selling the moniegold tamarind ran out of stock... to my great great great DISAPPOINTMENT... Could somebody please bring more???

Unzipping Banana- A Repost.

I got this from the blog of my very dear friend a.k.a foster bro a.k.a godfather of my only daughter... non other than Francis Eric Magbanua. Read On!

After Reading this, you will NEVER look at a banana in the same way again!

Bananas Contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber, a banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

Depression:
According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel better.

PMS:
Forget the pills -- eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.

Anemia:
High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia..

Blood Pressure:
This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it the perfect way to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.

Brain Power:
200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex England ) school were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.

Constipation:
High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.

Hangovers:
One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system..

Heartburn:
Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.

Morning Sickness:
Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness

Mosquito bites:
Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.

Nerves:
Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.

Overweight and at work?
Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and chips. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.

Ulcers:
The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.

Temperature control:
Many other cultures see bananas as a 'cooling' fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD):
Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.

Smoking:
Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6 and B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.

Stress:
Potassium is a vital mineral which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.

Strokes:
According to research in 'The New England Journal of Medicine,' eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death from strokes by as much as 40%!

So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrates, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around. So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, 'A banana a day keeps the doctor away!'

Footnote:
If your roses are covered with Aphids, drape banana skins over the branches, I'ts amazing, but in a day or less, they are GONE!
I've tried it, and I couldn't believe it, no more aphids, as long as I save my banana skins for the rose bushes!

Impressed?
Well then, PASS IT ON TO YOUR FRIENDS!
Unzip a BANANA today!

BLackberry Tour

What's the latest with RIM? Here is the BLACKBERRY TOUR.... Check out the Features and Specification of this new phone here.

Swarovski CP Charm

I have been making some of these... I accept order cellphone charms according to the preferences but the price is based on the costings of the materials... Pre-made charms are sold at a lower price.

Natural cosmetics

I was making some product reviews for the past days. As I worked on natural cosmetics. I was really amazed by the natural contents in some of those products. Then, I remembered one very very dear friend (actually my SpM). They were missionaries here in the Philippines way back. And this woman has been my spiritual mentor. But then they had to go back to Germany to care her mother in law who was at her 90's that time, Moving back meant they had to start life back over again. They had no job and they have two growing children who would definitely attend school. Indeed, They started life from scratch. I dunno if it was hard to find a job but the couple decided to put up a business instead. So the birth of Tropicai.com

Tropicai sells beauty products. The main ingredient of their cosmetics is from coconut. The company advocates natural ingredients. Below are some of their products they sell. Their website has their vision and gazettes about natural cosmetics. My dear friend doesn't know I am blogging their company. But I hope this blog will help promote any natural cosmetics for that matter.

Thingamabob? Thingamajig?

All sound gibberish... But yeah those words exist.

I got an overload of product reviews about all these doohickeys. As I have been noting all the pros and the cons... and thinking of how to uniquely present each, without making a hint that I have no first-hand experience of those doodads [It must've work since I got no complains from my boss] a thought simply came through... Yeah! man is hardly content of what he has... he keeps on acquiring things that don't matter. All these gizmodos will not amount his soul to anything... but then I sshed my inner self from starting the sermon. I quieted my thoughts, telling myself silently.... "there is a room and a time for your barb but for now this blurb is for my client who wants to sell his products and for me to earn online... so be quiet my soul."

When my blurbs are done... I couldn't help but be amazed of how wonderful God is. He has blessed us with minds that could think wonderful ideas and produces things... things that at this age makes life convenient [looking at the positive side alone]. How i wish we can create something that will not harm us in anyway possible like how God made everything in this earth. He created it good for our good and will do us good. But before I start this rant. I must now end this blog.

So, yeah... Take your pick which Thingamabob... thingamajig... gizmos and what??? It keeps on coming like how those words are evolving..soon enough your doodad will be outmoded.

BB Update...from the desk of an Oddball

Ignorance excuses no one. That's the rule of thumb when it comes to law and anything... And in someways, I plead guilty.

MY husband has a blackberry curve. I posted that here in my blog few months back. And yeah, he is enjoying it. Between John and I, I am the most inquisitive when it comes to gadgets and gizmos. Yeah... this is unusual right. Boys and Men are mostly into electrical stuff... and so am I. Tsk! Oddball.

But here's the trivia, I took this personality test in FB about How girly I can be...and my result was 50%. That means 50% of me is boyish. I will not contest, much as I am vain... I am a "cowboy" trapped in a feminine's body. LOL!!!

Kidding aside, I have the patience to know about electrical stuff. Though I seldom read manuals, I simply try things on... use it, press it, shake it kinda thing. That i say with a sheepish grin. Hahaha... silly thought... I have the tendency to think out loud.

But then again so much of the trash talk... Where are we? Blackberry Curve. Oh yeah... So my husband had that phone way back March 2009. It was given by his loving Tita at the same time generous godmother (and the only one he has by the way) who resides in San Diego, Calif. I never bother using the BB Curve not that i do not like it but, I do not have much time to browse and anatomize (if that is applicable, though John won't like the idea of "anatomize" <---- que horror! if you literally do it, there goes his BB fully dissected and out to the bin it goes.)

I did make a product review of BB models vs iPhone as per my boss instruction... and I must say... both are AWESOME. But I did not hear much from John about saying anything spectacular with his BB Curve... as I've mentioned in my previous blog... our network server limits the potential of this powerful Smartphone (too bad huh?)

But recently...John was telling about how the sensor works when it is inserted in the holster and how the phone reactivates when it is taken out. He also said something about power preservation if that is the term for that feature. His BB won't take calls when it is in critical battery, so the only means of communicating is through SMS and MMS. Wow! that's cool, now I know or else I would turn berserk with grief wondering why he is not talking my call. Well, seriously, I did try the phone when it was in its critical battery mode...and believe me... It won't take any call at all... hmmmmm, wait a minute...that made me think... But of course he will not use it against me just because he doesn't wanna take my call (Right?), in circumstance like there is World War 3 (it's a codename John and I used when we are in disagreement). I mean I can tell the difference of the tone from the receiving end. And mind you, it is always the other way around if you know what I mean. LOL! again.

For sure, John has more to discover with his BB Curve... I may or may not blog about it but it must be giving us one good laugh (as always) whenever he shares things about most things that reflect his rawness like his late discoveries about his phone. Hmmmm (again) call that intolerance? Yeah enough of this.
