World’s Greatest Invention: Nipple Pads

Filed under: Uncategorized — peachy @ 11:49 am


when i’m at home, i don’t usually wear bra. in fact, if it weren’t for aesthetic purposes, i will not wear bra. it gives me a different kind of freedom.

another thing, if i buy a blouse or a shirt, i love it v-necked plunging neckline. i’m a cup a so i bluff my way around with half-exposed chest. and the problem with these plunging necklines are… what else.. the bra! althought there are kinds of bras nowadays that are designed for plunging necklines or bare backs… or whatever, the thing is – you still have to wear the bra and always worry if it might show or what.

so thank the starts above for nipple pads!!! just push down your nipple and stick the pads on the areola and.. voila! no more nipples showing through thin shirts or blouses… and you can move freely with your plunging necklines and all…. amazing huh? wonders of vanity.

Ice Age 2

Filed under: Uncategorized — peachy @ 11:14 am

I just came from the movies and saw ICE AGE 2 with my kids. In addition to spending quality time with my kids, it was also a way of relaxation for me and to connect with the child in me and keep my sense of humor. So anyways, this one is better than the first. If you found the first movie funny, this one’s hilarious. The movie is about a group of different animals who traveled across the valley to avoid an impending flooding brought upon by the melting of the ice glaciers. There’s still Manny the mammoth, who was still looking for his herd and family, Sid the sloth and Diego the saber cat. OKAY. OKAY. Im not gonna tell the whole story lest you kill me for spoiling the movie for you. What touched me about the movie was the fact that Manny, finally encountered his herd,…….. OKAY! My lips are sealed. AH HM.

But this I have to say. The movie struck me as rather poignant or moving, in a sense that however lucky Manny was to have such loyal and good friends, he was still all lonely. Lonely for not having his own kind. Can you imagine yourself among your friends but not having a family? I myself can’t bear the thought of a life like that.

BUT when he finally met his kind (the mammoth herd) and all of a sudden you leave your friends behind, the same friends that were with you all throughout your life’s journey, what would you choose? Go with your kind or stick with a brady bunch of friends?

Sometimes it is our family that is stranger to us and our friends that we are intimately familiar with.

The Alchemist’s Wisdom

Filed under: Uncategorized — peachy @ 11:09 am

This really is a nice book and instead of making a book review (you can find it on other sites I’m pretty sure), I would rather list down the lessons or wisdom gained:

  1. Everybody has his or her own personal legend – something that they’ve always wanted to achieve. And as time passes, a negative or mysterious force begins to convince them that it will be impossible for them to achieve their personal legend. But it’s not. As I mentioned in my previous post, the seemingly negative forces or trials that man encounters actually prepares him, his will and his spirit to be able to achieve his own personal legend.
  2. When somebody really wants something, the forces of the universe conspire for him to get it.
  3. The secret of happiness is to see the marvels of the world without forgetting your responsibilities.
  4. Love is the language of the world. A language everyone is capable of understanding in their heart. And when two persons encounter and see in each others’ eyes the language of the world, the past and the future becomes unimportant. Time stands still and at that very brief moment when their eyes connect, realization dawns on both of them that they have met their soul mate. Without such love, one’s dreams have no meaning.
  5. Soul of the World is nourished by us. And the world we live in will become either better or worse, depending on whether we become better or worse. And that’s where the power of love comes in. Because when we love, when we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.
  6. Sometimes the treasure that we are looking for are right in front of our eyes, without realizing it.

Kegel’s Exercise

Filed under: Uncategorized — peachy @ 2:31 am

It’s a known fact that few women have the luxury of reaching orgasm with their partners. For one, women tend to go for quality rather than quantity. Men basically are bang-bang-boom-bye and women are more into foreplay and ambiance – unless we’re really really horny. Learning Kegel’s exercise has helped me a lot in achieving the big O. But other than increasing one’s sexual awareness and arousal during intercourse, Kegel’s exercise also has other purposes.

What is Kegel’s exercise? It when you contract your PC muscles – imagine like when you’re controlling your pee… that’s similar to Kegel’s exercise. Every now and then I tend to forget to do this exercise (they said we should do it twenty times a day with ten repetitions – whew!) But when im into it, I dunno if sometimes I overdo it cause I feel like having that tingling sensation – the feeling you get when you’re about to come. I asked one of the guys I dated before how it feels if I do that while we’re into the S thing, and he said its arousing. In fact, he likes it when I do that. If you’re the guy, imagine you’re inside and a ring of muscles tighten around your shaft…. How would you feel? ;)

But the benefit is not just for the guys – but above all for us women. Doing Kegel’s regularly improve our chances of reaching the big O so I suggest wherever you are, do Kegel’s. Either you’re in a bus, or inside the MRT, or just standing in line, do Kegel’s. And when you feel you’re PC muscles are quite stronger, do it with your partner and he’ll be surprised – and maybe have premature E. J

What is your PERSONAL LEGEND?

Filed under: Uncategorized — peachy @ 12:42 am

I’m reading a book right now – The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho – and seldom do I come across with this kind of book that touches my heart. And man, i’m telling you, I cry when I read a very sappy, heart-wrenching, inspiring, soul-searching book. I cried at Judith Mcnaught’s Double Standards. Well, okay. Im digressing. The thing is, The Alchemist is a very simple story about a shepherd’s journey to pursue a treasure. And in the book, Coelho mentions something about personal legend.

A man’s personal legend is the thing that he has always wanted to accomplish. Even when they were young, they already have a personal legend. But somewhere along the way, a mysterious force or set of events happen and begins to convince the man that it is impossible to achieve their personal legend. Man’s first instinct would be discouraged and go the other way instead of continuing their pursuit of their personal legend. But these tests that are thrown in a man’s way shouldn’t deter us to achieve our goal. Instead, it should enlighten and prepare us and lead the way to our goal.

Take for instance with my life. I realized too late back in my college days that becoming a doctor is not something I really wanted to do in life. It was something about computer. That time, since I was busy taking up those tedious taxonomy and physiology subjects, and dissecting frogs and cats, I wasn’t aware of the world of computers. I distinctly remember the year I realized what I wanted to do – 1994. I thought i’d start with those short courses on programming since I couldn’t afford to go back to school full time because of my baby. So I took and was able to finish one short course. And since I was good at biology, particularly reproduction, I got pregnant the second time around and gave birth to wonderful twin girls. And my pursuit of studying computers or information technology was forgotten.

Being a single mom, raising three babies wasn’t easy. During the early stages, I concentrated on raising them, with my parents’ support. When the twins were about three years old and could be left behind with my parents, I started working. And I took what was there. I didn’t have the luxury of choosing a good job.

Somebody said year 2006 will be a pivotal year for me. And it is. Now I rediscovered my personal legend and how to go on achieving it. You might say, so how the heck did the forces of the universe conspire for you to achieve you personal legend? ‘Coz it sure took you a long time to get back on track to your personal legend.

I would say the forces of the universe conspired very well for me to achieve my personal legend. Because all the events and heartaches and disappointments that happened in my past were tests. It tested my character, my belief in God, my will. And these experiences made me what I am today. It also empowered me to achieve my personal legend. And now that I am able to realize my personal legend and how to go on achieving it, all the pieces needed in my pursuit of my personal legend are falling into places (in the book it’s about omens) as if these pieces of puzzle were all waiting for this moment – for me to be prepared. And that was how the forces of nature conspired to prepare me for my pursuit of my personal legend.

So how about you? Do you know what your personal legend is?

Dancing and Sensuality

Filed under: Uncategorized — peachy @ 6:40 pm

on top of my pc monitor is a shelf of audio and video cd’s. as i was stretching my hands after being glued in front of the pc for hours, i saw the bellydance cd tutorials i bought LAST YEAR. untouched and still in its plastic wrap. i mentioned in my previous post that i love to dance. like i’d rather dance than sing. believe me.

so like, i stared at the cd’s and contemplated whether to play the 1st cd which contains the basic moves or read a book. well… the book won. but i told myself i will be bellydancing before the year ends. and the forces of the earth has conspired for me to reach that goal because this lead singer of the tuesday band in havana (hey – it is my favorite hang out place) gave me her calling card and told me she teaches dancing every saturday. i dunno why she gave me her card. either she saw i needed help on the dance floor or she just saw my potential as a great dancer. :) i don’t dance like the maribeth bitchara (did i spell this correctly?) dancers but when i dance, i just go with the beat of the music. that’s why i love it. dancing gives me this orgasmic satisfaction after a couple of upbeat songs with perspiration literally pouring out of my skin like water. so in addition to having fun, i also get to exercise (im a couch potato).

guess what? while i was still with the father of my children, he used to ask me to strip dance in front of him before we have sex. and like duh? my baby was just like two or three months old so i still had this tummy and stretch marks and everything. i mean. i just don’t know why guys love it when a girl seduces them through dancing or strip dancing.

what is seductive though, is a woman dancing by feeling the music. letting the beat of the music overcome her body and move to the beat. i see girls dancing just because they’re on the dance floor already. or women dancing because they’re practicing their ballroom dance lesson for the week. but the thing is, they’re just dancing mechanically. so even though they’ve mastered the steps and all, it doesn’t come off as impressive as she might have wanted.

j.lo teaching richard gere ballroom dance, from the movie shall we dance, i forgot the name of the dance cause i was enthralled by their movements. now that is dancing. oh yeah – i think it was tango. but the it was what she said to richard gere – you have to feel the music. feel it course through your body. that was what made their dance sexy as if they were making love. and dancing should be like that. either you feeeeeel it and have gratification or dance mechanically and end up not being fulfilled. just like sex.

so it doesn’t really matter if you’re the dance guru or that you don’t know the steps of the dance – what matters is letting the music into your system and move with it. let your senses absorb the music, abandon your inhibitions and dance for yourself. not for your partner. not for the people around you. but for your own satisfaction and raptured delight!

India-RP Outsourcing Relationsip

Filed under: Uncategorized — peachy @ 3:11 pm
okay. get this – one of india’s biggest bpo companies has office here in manila and is employing around a thousand filipinos for their bpo operations which includes customer services, trouble shooting, and – i love this part – web development. we were at our favorite hang out place last night and we met this indian who’s top level executive with this company. we had interesting conversation and i guess from now on, i will look at india from a different perspective. india is phils’ PR country. india has the connections. we have a vital edge india lacks, regardless of how skillful their people are – language and cultural adaptability. we excel as far as customer service is concerned – and our IT sector is catching up. so for it to be a symbiotic relationship, india will be better off unloading their important clients who demand quality services here in the philippines.

ironies of the world…

Applying Social Softwares for Folk Knowledge Management

Filed under: Uncategorized — peachy @ 1:48 pm

Concurrent to Pandora Squared’s training on April 17-19, 2006 here in Manila is De la Salle University’s Emerging Technologies for Philippines 2020 Conference. I see this as a beginning of collaboration of efforts of the ICT industry, government and academe to strengthen Philippines’ local ICT industry and be at par, if not surpass, India in business processes outsourcing.

What interests me more actually is a paper on Knowledge Management of Folk Knowledge: Harnessing the Power of Social Software Applications by Joel C. Yuvienco, JD/MBA.

InterSard Asia, a project of the InterSard Consortium, had a similar idea in mind back then in 2002. The project aimed at developing mechanisms, skills and IT tools for documenting and sharing information on good/best practices or as we may call it – folk knowledge. Although the database gathered is still accessible on the web, the purpose of disseminating the information down to the grassroots was not fully realized. And in retrospect, integration of a social software would have resulted differently.

“In designing Social Software that supports social development initiatives, Adrian Chan (2005) asserts that social systems are built on relations among members, and they are maintained only as long as those relations are reproduced. Any online community, in other words, needs to succeed at the very basic task of connecting members and compelling them to stay in communication. Only participation will do that; no software can do that for them.”- J. Yuvienco

Will management of folk knowledge be compelling enough for the users to participate and maintain the online community? I wonder.
