On Friday Faves: My Favorite Music/Song.

I love music and one of my favorite genre when it come to music are christian songs, love songs, pop, jazz, dance music (depends on my mood), and even light rock music. Sometimes, when I do household chores, I love to listen to music, any kind of music genre but mostly dance music. Then, I also love to work out with any kind of dance music. I think it always depend on my mood and my situation. I also love to listen to music when I'm in bed and alone. I also like to listen to music when driving around or when we were on a road trip.

To find one of the best songs I always love, well, it would be so hard to find since I have tons of them. I will share one song that i will never get tired of listening. It's a song by Linkin Park entitled "Leave Out all The Rest".



One of the soundtrack of the movie Twilight.

Toilet training your puppy will make life much easier and more pleasant for the both of you. It will make you stop having the accidents that make you clean up after him several times in the day. Start potty training immediately the puppy arrives in your home. The following training tips will help you get your puppy toilet trained in no time.

Before you start, understand that your puppy is a baby that has not learned much about controlling bowel movements. He could urinate or defecate without restraint. Therefore, you should be as gentle as you can. Praise him when he gets it right for reinforcement but do not punish or be harsh when accidents happen. Punishment when he goes in the wrong place will make him associate it with punishment and he will learn to start hiding the evidence.

The first thing is to know the signs to look for when he wants to "go". He could start running in circles, sniffing the floor, scratching at the door or whimpering. Puppies go to the toilet mostly after eating or immediately they wake up. They like to 'go' on surfaces like grass, wood, or soil.

Start by placing a placing a wee wee pad or some newspapers in the place you want him to use as his toilet. It should be far from where you keep his food. Choose a word like pee pee or poo poo that he will associate with 'going'. As soon as he shows signs of going, take him to the spot and stay with him until he goes. Praise him as he is doing it so that he knows he is doing the right thing. With some persistence, he will know and accept that spot his 'going' spot and you will not need to take him again.

On Friday Faves is all about my Favorite video or computer game.

Since I've been to Facebook, I never thought I could be addicted to it. My sister introduces it to me a couple of years ago. Since then, I was stuck with it due to computer games they have in there. Some of the computer games I was addicted to is Farmville, Frontierville, and Cafe world. I played some few games such as Sorority Life and Mafia Wars, but I find them boring. So, I have decided to just stayed with those three I mentioned above. I also had a chance to play with Fishville and Treasure Isle but it was just boring as well.

So, when it comes to video games, I don't have one. So good to know that I wasn't addicted to any video games or else I will have no time to blog anymore. It's crazy!

Suffering from yeast or Candida infection can bring so much discomfort that sufferers want to find a quick solution to ease yeast infection symptoms. The infection is caused by the overgrowth of Candida, a fungus normally present in human body.

People suffering from this infection usually suffer from symptoms like itching, soreness and burning sensation on the affected area. It is best to consult your doctor to get the proper diagnosis and treatment. Prescribed and over the counter anti-fungal medicines are also widely available to quickly ease yeast infection symptoms.

Despite the availability of anti-fungal medicines, there are sufferers who are still looking for alternative medicines to ease the symptoms of Candida infection naturally. The following natural remedies can be very helpful in dealing with yeast or Candida infection.

Yogurt. One way to ease yeast infection naturally is by using yogurt because it contains friendly bacteria called lactobacillus acidophilus that helps control the overgrowth of Candida fungus and restore the balance of microorganism on the affected area. You can either eat it or apply it as a topical cream. Eat yogurt everyday or if used as a topical cream, apply on the affected area and leave it for at least 60 minutes before rinsing it. Please note that you should be careful in choosing the right yogurt. Do not use sweetened yogurt. Always go for organic natural yogurt.

Vinegar. The use of vinegar can be very helpful to ease yeast infection symptoms naturally. It is best to use apple cider vinegar. The mixture of warm water and apple cider vinegar applied on the affected area helps restore the natural balance of the microorganisms on the affected area.

Garlic. Another way to ease yeast infection symptoms is through the healing effect of garlic. It has an amazing health benefits due to its antiseptic properties. Eating a clove of garlic everyday can help control the propagation of yeast.

Applying quick remedies can be very helpful to ease the symptoms of the infection but it is always necessary to get a complete treatment to stop Candida infection flare-ups.

Last week, I went on Face book to check on my virtual games where I have found out the recent hostage taking happened in Manila, Philippines. I was so curious to find out what it is all about then suddenly a lot of my fellow bloggers told me about it who recently lived in the Philippines. The hostage taking took about almost 10 hours and the thing is it was a nightmare. The hostage taker who is formerly a police officer named Rolando Mendoza took the revenge to 22 Chinese tourists visiting the Philippines and explore the country with road trip on a bus. At first, I thought it might be due to drugs, or even alcohol but I was wrong. It all started when Mendoza was being fired from his job as a police inspector. Then, as the hostage taking proceed, the hostage taker finally freed nine of the hostages,three women, three children and two men and leaving 15 tourists on board. For the whole almost 9 hours of hostake taking, police covered the area and brought food for the hostages, along with fuel to keep the bus’ air conditioning running in the 32-degree-Celsius (90 F) heat.

As the hostage taking ended, it ends tragically after a SWAT team assaulted a bus full of mostly Chinese tourists from Hong Kong, resulting in the death of the hostage taker and nine (9) hostages. It was ridiculous knowing that there are still innocent victims inside and they started the firing. Isn’t it for hopelessness or just an incompetent action? No wonder why Hongkong and China citizens were mad in the Philippines government. Well, everything had been said and done. We can’t take back the lives of innocent nine people who died in the affliction. I was just so overwhelmed with the idea of dealing this kind of crisis. I never expect it to happen.

Anyway, after the tragedy, I have heard a lot of anger voices, opinion from acrimony. I know Philippine Police SWAT in Manila was at fault. But, as a half Filipino and half Chinese, born in the Philippines, I was quite skeptical that Philippines were not incompetent. We’re quite the same of all third countries and I knew how it feels to be downgraded, pointing all the fingers at us, being blamed from all this miseries. I thought because of what of one person did, everyone should be blamed? I think it is not a onetime catastrophe, hostage taking happened all over the world. I think as a human being, we have to be open- minded and try to put the situation on their part. Nobody wants this tragedy. I hope people who have died from this adversity will find peace as well as to those who have left behind. This is definitely an eye opener for all of us!

A lot of my friends who had been blogging for years and years told me that it is better to switch from a free to a paid hosting, why? There are some instances where they made the final choice. There are some circumstances where free hosting was a disadvantage because of some of their posts were deleted, missing or even accidentally vanished from their blogs. I was quite skeptical about it until I heard from a fellow blogger and a friend, about her blog was being deleted without informing her. I thought it might happen to me so I was alarmed and thinking of maybe getting a paid web hosting this time.

So, I went online and look for some paid hosting. There are a lot of web hosting website online and at some point, it never gives me any idea which hosting service to get that is cheaper. Good thing that there is an online website that offers reviews and ratings based on customer service, quality service, reliable hosting service and customer reviews which gives me an idea of what to get just in case I need a web hosting service for all of my websites.

On the other hand, I also found some vps web hosting which is perfect for my sister in law since she was planning to build her business a website for easy navigation when it comes to making appointments. Also, a tool that will help her and her customer to find her products and services so easily before visiting her salon. I can’t wait to tell her about this website and for me to get a new web hosting service sometime soon.

Last two weeks ago, I was watching a live show pageant of Miss Universe 2010. Some of my friends are watching the show too. We’re all into it since Miss Philippines were in the list of top 15. Then, we just stayed on for a while and wait, until Miss Philippines was chosen again in the list of top 10. It was getting so excited and we just can’t help it but scream the hell out of me. I love beauty pageants, it is because I can see how some women are so perfect in their body but sometimes it made me think that it is all about beauty and brain. I came in the Philippines and so it is so natural for me to cheer up when our contestant representative will get into the list of top 5. We all scream and some of my friends were updating everything on Facebook which made us so busy for quite a while.

Then, here’s the time for the last important part of the show, the question and answer portion. Miss Philippines were being asked by an actor William Baldwin with the question: "What is the biggest mistake that you’ve ever made in your life and what did you do to make it right? And Miss Philippines Venus Raj answered, "In my 22 years of existence I can say there is nothing major, major problem in my life because I am very confident with my family, with the love that they are giving to me. So, thank you so much that I am here, thank you thank you so much."

Well, it sounds good to me but there’s something missing. I was quite skeptical that she will win the crown due to the fact that her answer was overlooking the idea of generalization. She thought that the question implied a major mistake that might happened during her 22 years of existence but I think she would consider those minor mistakes that she might have then compile them to be a major problem. As what most people said, I don’t think anyone in the world have had a major mistake done in their lives. I think she got nervous and maybe when she did some little adlib too before she answered the question did something to her eventually. Well, we’re all grateful because she made it and became the 4th runner up. I think she deserves the credit and I think she wasn’t meant to be a Miss Universe.

On the other hand, Miss Universe 2010 is a success. Some of the winners are Ms. Universe 2010 – Ms Mexico – (Jimena Navarrete, 1st Runner up – Ms. Jamaica (Yendi Phillipps), 2nd Runner up – Ms Australlia ( Jesinta Campbell), 3rd Runner up – Ms Ukraine ( Anna Poslavska) and 4th Runner Up – Ms Philippines ( Venus Raj).

This week on Friday Faves is to share my favorite quote/s.

When it comes to quotes I have a lots of them. It is just because they're very interesting but very helpful too. When I find something that can relate to my situation, I always find something that helped me to understand its purpose. Some of the quotes that motivates me, inspired me in some way are the following:

“Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.” by Mark Victor Hansen.

It means something to me in the sense that challenges, obstacles, are always in the way of life. They are just there to make my life to be tough. I think it showed that life is not always easy. I know I've been there that after I had gone through it makes me more stronger and to be wise the next time around. I think quotes is just very inspiring in a way that how I live my life.
