Contagious Lifestyle

Archive for August, 2010

During our childhood years, we always hear our parents and teachers remind us that “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”. For grownups, I’m not sure if you have heard already but there’s also a similar tagline that goes something like “A glass of [red] wine a day keeps the doctor away”.

Recent scientific probing says that aside from the relaxation which is a general effect of drinking wines, moderate intake of alcohol, red wines, in particular, actually improves the cardiovascular health. This is said to be attributed to the antioxidants present in the skin and seeds of red grapes. These antioxidants protect the heart and reduce the risk of coronary heart disease and other heart ailments. Scientists also say that it prevents arthritis, lowers diabetes risk and reduces throat cancer risks. Moderation and regular consumption (binge drinking is actually harmful) are the key so a four-ounce glass of wine a day for women would be enough to attain the maximum benefits. While for men, two servings of such a day is the ideal consumption.

Despite my busy schedule with my online works yesterday, I feel triumphant that I was able to squeeze in a little time to fix, clean and re-organize my desk.  Again, I was able to de-clutter lots of thermal receipts, scratch papers, useless brochures and quotes.  I eliminated lots of trash, in short. 

I got a little sentimental though when I accidentally found a piece of gold coin at the innermost portion of my drawer.  I remember this was a special memento that a friend gifted me several years ago before she migrated abroad.  All along I thought it was just an ordinary coin.  It’s only now that I found out at US Gold Bureau’s site that it’s valuable and in fact, I can make a little fortune if I sell it now.  Browsing the other coin collections on the site now gives me an idea how profitable it appears to venture into precious metal investment.

Almost two months after we’ve moved in to our new home, I could say that we’ve adjusted pretty good and in fact, I feel like we’ve been here for quite a long time already. However, we can’t still invite friends to come over as we’re not yet done sprucing up our humble little abode. We have several installation add-ons we’re requesting the foreman to make. Unfortunately, he can’t attend to us yet because they’re still finishing the construction of the remaining unit here in our compound. A minor adjustment will have to be made on the second bedroom as we’re planning to purchase a twin bunk bed. No, we’re not infanticipating our second child yet but it’s never too early to start planning for the family’s future, right? The idea about bunk beds for kids makes me look forward to the coming years, really. Because that means a bigger and happier family living in our dear Little Mansion. For the mean time, the bunk beds wood will be intended for the guests should they’ll be staying overnight.

In the course of my search for bunk beds, I chanced upon the lovely collection of well crafted beds at Mom’s Bunk House. They have a wide selection of furniture for the bedroom as well as functional frame beds designs. Mom’s Bunk House is a family based company so they exactly know the requirements and needs of every family with regards to beds and their coordinating furniture pieces.
