I’m moving to a new apartment in 2 weeks. It’s a good thing coz I’m getting pretty tired of my old place. The new apartment is nothing fancy, it doesn’t have porcelain tiles or anything like that, but at least it’s new. And I’m going to have this cute little terrace too, so it’s good. I was a little hesitant about the move in the beginning, but I decided it’s time to make some changes. I’m actually getting pretty excited now. Can’t wait.

The world was shocked with the unexpected passing of Michael Jackson yesterday, June 25, 2009. MJ suffered cardiac arrest around noon and never recovered. He was prounced dead at 2:26 p.m.

Michael Jackson truly was, and always will be, the King Of Pop. I’ve always loved MJ’s songs and his musicality is so great, it’s genius. It’s just a pity that he’s gone way over his head and experienced all these child molestation cases. But personal life aside, Michael Jackson is truly a great loss to the music industry. But although gone from this world, his legacy will forever stay in the hearts of those he touched.

Life is short and precious. Be good and true. Enjoy every moment like it’s your last. You never know when it might be your time to go. Rest in Peace, Michael.

P.S. Reportedly, Michael had a secret library of over 100 unpublished songs that he left for his children. I’m personally looking forward to the release of these songs. 

With the influenza virus (H1N1) being widespread and pandemic in certain countries, people are scared to even get out of the house! Taking care of our health is of utmost importance, especially now that there are so many diseases cropping up, it’s crazy! Companies like Blue Cross North Carolina that offer health services could really help. They provide quality products and services, as well as information to improve the health and well-being of their customers. We should all learn to take care of our health. Our lives depend on it.

I got this invite from a high school friend of mine, asking me to come visit her new place. I was psyched, of course. It’s been ages since I saw her, and I’m really excited to see her new house. So then we went on a tour of her house. She let me inspect every nook and cranny, from the undermount sink in her kitchen to the elaborate living room and the beautiful master’s bedroom. It was a really nice house. I loved the atmosphere and the interior. I definitely would be spending more time there. Hehe.

I’m not really a follower of golf, but I can understand the enthusiasm that golf players have whenever they play the sport. I once saw a show where the guy was a golf expert and he would show off all his golf trophies in his house. It must feel really to be accomplished in your chosen field, to excel in something that you’re passionate about. Not just in golf or any other sport, but in everything that we attempt to do. I’ve always thought that if a person loves what he’s doing, it won’t seem like work at all, it would be enjoyable, and chances are, he will excel in that particular area. Don’t you agree?

Ever since I started going to the gym, I slowly started to appreciate myself better. I feel more confident and I feel healthier. It’s not just because I’ve slimmed down, but it’s the rush that I feel when I’m working a sweat. There’s something really satisfying about doing cardio exercises that train the heart, and after working out, I feel lighter every time. A friend of mine, recently recommended yet another diet pill, called Phenphedrine, and she was telling me how it speeds up metabolism. I was tempted to take it, but I said I’ll pass. Some people might have increased benefits using it, but for me, I’ll stick to working out for now.

My friend told me about this cool house and lot that she was planning on buying. It’s very affordable and can be paid by taking out a housing loan, which can be spread out in 20-30 years. The house doesn’t have any furniture or anything, just 3 rooms and 2 bathrooms, which is perfect for a family starting out. I wanted to buy one too, but I still can’t afford it. I think this is really a good investment, since lots never depreciate, right? I think I’m going to buy my own once I get enough money. How about you, when are you planning to buy your own house and lot, and what are your considerations in buying one?
