You know what could be the worst thing in a career woman’s life? Obviously, it’s leaving the job she learned to love. I am getting that feeling right now. It’s like taking away a candy from a kid wherein the kid just can’t do anything but, adults don’t cry like a kid. That is the only difference.

I am leaving my current work and I will be very busy in the next few days (or months… or years…) searching for a new one. As we all know, If you are 40 and above, you would already have a hard time finding a new job and changing your lifestyle.

On a brighter side, I could get up and face a different challenge and environment so I could learn more. Of course, I dread the office politics that I would have to go through again.

This is just the way life is. One day you are secure, the next day, you’re like a newly graduated teen scavenging for work to make a living. No more happy days of blogging like crazy in whatever topics I want since I need to adjust AGAIN.

I will just see you around the blogging world. I will try my best to update and just not freeze like this girl.

Have you ever heard the name Ophelia? No offense but I don’t find that appealing to my ears. Everyone has a name. It is a certain label one gives to either humans, animals, things and places to be able to distinguish one from the other, although sometimes there are people who have pretty much the same names.

Each person has the freedom to give any name they wants. Just like any parent naming their new born baby. And because of this freedom, it is hard to avoid those who would give names that are really unique, hence, weird. But everybody should keep in mind that the tag name ‘weird’ is only an opinion, and not a fact. The list below shows some of the weird names one could name their child, or their pets, or anything for that matter.

1.    Quadrilateral/Equilateral/Parallelogram/Trapezoid (Polygons)
Ever imagined this? Your kid don’t even have to write his name on the quiz paper. Just draw shapes and voila! There goes his name. To tell you the truth, there are some people who could name their children after the different polygons. I wonder what Pythagoras sons name was.

2.    Precious
Reminds me Lord of the Rings. This name isn’t really a unique name. But it is in this list because there are some people who name their child Precious, which is a name normally given to pets, specifically dogs!

3.    Sapphire/Opal/Diamond/Turquoise (stones)

Yes, we all know that your child is valuable to you. So precious, that you would name them after stones? Please  don’t. They might confuse it with their real birth stones. But nowadays, there are already quite a few people who were named after the different precious stones such as Pearl and Crystal. But to name someone or something after the other strones such as the ones named above would be weird, and hard to give a nickname to!

4.    Mercury/ Mars/Pluto (planets)

Although everybody would probably know Disney’s popular dog named just like the 9th and smallest planet, Pluto, it would be very weird to give this name to a person. Naming a person after the planets we have would definitely be weird! By the way, Pluto is not considered a planet already.

5.    Tangerine/Strawberry/Orange/Banana/Melon (fruits)
There are some fruits given to people as names that aren’t weird. An example of this would be the name Cherry or Apple. But this does not mean that naming humans after fruits wouldn’t be so weird, such as the ones above.

If you name your kid from one of the choices above, you can be pretty sure it will be 90% unique. Unique is not always best but with a little creativity, you might set a new trend in baby naming for the future.

When we go to work, we would hardly have any time to prepare the food that we’ll be bringing to work (breakfast or lunch). And I do not really like to buy food outside, because it would cost me a lot to eat out every time and we all know that eating out isn’t a healthy option. So sometimes, rather than eating out or munching on those yummy microwaveable treats, we have to learn to come up with easy-to-cook meals that we could easily prepare and take with us to work, and get to work on time. So here are some of the meals I would take with me:

1. Egg with Onions and Sausage with Rice
The sausage is really easy to prepare, you could either fry it, or just heat it in the microwave (make sure to heat this well, if ever this is what you decide to do). As for the egg with onions, it’s really just similar to making scrambled eggs, but you’ll have to add onions (peeled and diced) as you fry it. Except you won’t have to add salt, because the taste of the onion will mix into the egg, giving it a bit of a sweet flavor to it.

2. Spam with Rice
Another meal that’s really easy to prepare. Just simply slice the spam, fry it (just be careful not to make it too oily!), and it’s done!

3. Cheese Omelet with Rice
This one is really simple. I remember the first time I tasted this was when we went to a beach, and this was what I had for breakfast. And it’s just easy to make! It’s similar with making scrambled eggs; just add grated cheese before beating the egg. And it tastes good with ketchup!

4. Egg Fried Rice
This one is pretty easy to cook. Just simply fry green onions, green peppers, together with the cooked rice, and egg (you can pretty much add anything you like, bits of chicken or pork, cabbage or spinach, crabmeat or fish) in butter. This is similar to the food being served in chinese rice-in-a-box stalls we see in fast food areas, except here, we get to create our own variation.

5. Instant Noodles with egg
Out of everything, I think everyone would agree that this is probably the easiest to cook. This is what I would take to work when there I really have no time, or sometimes for the simple reason that I’m craving for it. Just add an egg and voila! Yummy food with little preperation time! Not healthy though.

Have you ever thought about your actions lately? Did you notice that unconsciously, we follow what we perceive as “normal” and unknowingly, we follow that.

My kid, always ask me to buy new things. He will tell me, “Mom, my classmates have this and that toy..” after awhile, “I want those too…”

If he grows up, toys become cars and other more expensive things.

If your child grows up like that, he will be like the man in the video below. Watch it.

So, better train them the right way. Tell them that, you don’t always need to have what others have or imitate what others do. Just think for yourself and do what you think is right.

Hope you enjoyed the video.

Being a housewife is like having a day job. The only difference is this one is harder. You must be willing to be hated until they need five dollars. Screening phone calls is much needed too while coordinating production of multiply assignments. Being a housewife, you will also need to maintain the floor and do janitorial work throughout the facility.

Sadly, this job has no place for advancement. Actually, you need to remain in the same position for years while continuously updating your skills. The worst part is yet to come. How much would you get paid? Get this! You pay them! A noticeable increase in payment will occur 18 years after because of the assumption that college will make them financially independent. No benefits, pensions and any reimbursement. Free hugs and kisses though if you do your job right. So, without further ado, I would like you to know these home remedies to increase your skills at home! By the way, these remedies are what NOT TO DO!

1. If you are choking on an ice cube, don’t panic. Simply pour a cup of boiling water down your throat and presto. The blockage will be almost instantly removed.

2. For high blood pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure in your veins. Remember to use a timer.

3. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives, then you will be afraid to cough.

4. Have a bad toothache? Smash your thumb with a hammer and you will forget about the toothache.

5. Clumsy? Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop away.
