The Plain People

I once saw a documentary about the Amish People in Pennsylvania Dutch Country and I was really fascinated by their culture and tradition. It is amazing how this community remained "untouched" by modernization and technology. What's more amazing is that despite the lack of modern machines, they were still able to thrive. And I've heard that the Amish fireplaces which are handmade by them is one of the best in the market today.

Anyway, I checked their website (yup, they have a website! ironic, right?) awhile ago and the paragraph below made me understood why the Amish people "choose" to live in the old ways.

The Amish are very devout in their faith. They believe in the literal interpretation and application of Scripture as the Word of God. They take seriously the Biblical commands to separate themselves from the things of the world. They believe worldliness can keep them from being close to God, and can introduce influences that could be destructive to their communities and to their way of life.

Cafe World Glitch

Panic mode! I can't access my cafe. It says the link has been reported as ABUSIVE by Facebook users. Tsk! Come on! Let this tired momma play her game. This is the only diversion I have and if I don't open my cafe, all the food I cooked there 5 hours ago will spoil! Duh!

Note to self: Get a life! Haha!

Product Presentation

I got an invitation from one of my friends here in SLC to attend a product presentation next weekend. They are selling weight loss pills and as part of their marketing plan, they are giving away free lunch to anyone who will attend their presentation. And of course, when there's free food, I have to be there! Haha! Nah! Just kidding. I am going to attend the said event to show my support for my friend. I know this is very important to her and having friends around her will boost her confidence as she talks about the product.

Facebook Addiction

Facebook users beware. Psychologists are now probing a new kind of addiction called Facebook Addiction Disorder (FAD).

You are a Facebook addict if...

According to Joanna Lipari, a clinical psychologist at the University of California, Los Angeles who was interviewed for a CNN report, here are some signs that you are addicted to Facebook:

1. You lose sleep over Facebook. When using Facebook becomes a compulsion and you spend entire nights logged on to the site, causing you to become tired the next day.

2. You spend more than an hour a day on Facebook. Lipari said it is difficult to define how much is too much when it comes to Facebook usage, but that an average person need only spend half an hour on the site.

3. You become obsessed with old loves or exes you reconnect with on Facebook.

4. You ignore work in favor of Facebook. This means you do not do your job in order to sneak time on Facebook.

5. The thought of getting off Facebook leaves you in cold sweat. If you try going a day without Facebook and it causes you stress and anxiety, this means you need help.

According to the same report by Elizabeth Cohen, Senior CNN Medical Correspondent, Facebook addiction is not yet an actual medical diagnosis.

However, the report notes that several therapists in the United States have noticed a rise in the number of clients who get hooked on social networking, to the point of social dysfunction.

It's Time for Debt Management!

When a friend of mine lost her husband early this year, she was really devastated because she was left alone to deal with their debts. She has no choice but to take responsibility because her credit standing is at risk of being ruined if she doesn't do anything about it. Although she has a job but her meager salary is not enough to keep up with their mortgage payments as well as other utility bills. The little money she got from her husband's life insurance is no help either. The insurance company didn't give her the full amount because they saw some flaws in his medical records.

So before she gets in debt to her neck, we advised her to take advantage of debt management programs. This will help her stay out of bankruptcy, consolidate her payments into one monthly payment, lower down her interest rates, bring her delinquent accounts to current, and help end harassing creditor calls. Although she's still quite skeptical to heed our advice for fear that her credit score will suffer, she promised to take a look at the debt management programs offered by debtmanagementgroup.org. This non-profit debt counseling group aims to help individuals to be debt-free inspite and despite of the circumstances they're in.

Mar Roxas and Korina Sanchez Wedding Vows

Mar and Korina, who were engaged for five years before getting married, made their personal vows as the groom kissed the hand and temple of the bride every now and then during the ceremony.

Roxas described his bride as “God’s precious gift” to him and said he would treat her not only as his wife but also as his best friend.

“I love you as you are. You are precious to me. I am happy we are together and truly thank you for taking me and putting up with me. I give myself to you as your best friend, to applaud when you succeed and encourage when you stumble. I offer myself to you as your husband in respect and in trust. Today I take you to be my wife. I promise to be with you and be true to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love and honor you all the days of my life,” Roxas said.

For her part, Sanchez said her vows in Filipino, saying Roxas was the fulfillment of everything she dreamed of in a husband.

“Minamahal kong Mar, matagal ang panahong lumipas na tayo ay nagsarili ng landas at naghintay ng pagkakataong ito. Tayo ngayon ay pinagpala ng tadhana at ng Panginoon na mahanap ang isa’t isa. Totoo pala na ang pangarap ay nagaganap,” Sanchez said.

“Ikaw ang katuparan ng lahat ng aking hinintay at minimithi ng aking puso na maging kasama, karamay, kaibigan at kakampi. Ikaw ang aking pinili upang alayan ng lahat ng iyong kakailanganin sa isang kasama at katabi sa buhay sa abot ng aking makakaya. Dumaan man ang unos, mga pagsubok, ang sakit, ang kabiguan, ako ay mananatiling dikit sa iyong dibdib kahawak ng mahigpit ng iyong mga kamay. Nguni’t sabay din tayong lalakbay sa landas na itinahak ng Panginoon sa atin. Magkasama tayong ngingiti, tatawa, hahalakhak sa malaki man na tagumpay at sa pinakamababaw na biro,” Sanchez said to her groom.

She promised Roxas that she would be there for him for the rest of their lives.

“Mar, ang pangako ko sa iyo, saksi ang aking mga yumaong magulang na si Celia at Ramon, katuwang ng aking buong pamilya at lahat ng nagmamahal sa ating dalawa, basbas ng langit ang aking pagmamahal sa iyo at kasama ng Panginoon kahapon, ngayon at bukas, ako’y iyong-iyo,” Sanchez said.
