There’s a solution to any problem. But before you can find the solution, you need to find out the exact reason for the problem. There could be many. Passages Malibu can help you find it. The underlying reason why you are dependent on drugs, on alcohol. There may be one reason, a dozen. Passages applies a unique holistic approach to recovery. They don’t have a 12-step program like other centers. They want to cure the reason behind the dependence and not just the superficial problem people see.

The Passages Malibu Addiction Cure Center will put you in the hands of experts. Nine therapists, all have one goal in mind, will help you cure the reason behind the addiction. It could either be depression, heartbreak, childhood trauma, chemical imbalance, lethargy, insomnia, and many other things that triggers the dependence on drugs and alcohol. I have heard about Whitney Houston’s substance abuse. My understanding of what happened to her is that she was trying to cover up with drugs the ugly truth that her marriage was going down the drain. I know many other dependents have the same reason behind the abuse. The professionals at Passages can help you find the solution to this problem.

Do you want to take a tour of the cure center? You can do so through the Passages Malibu video found at Youtube. If you want to speak to a professional admissions coordinator, you can do so at 1-866-850-6673. Or you can gather more information about the center at PassagesMalibu.com now.

Last Monday at around 2:30A.M. I just finished reading The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks. My eyes got puffed and sore from crying. Oooh the books really sad but there’s so much lesson that you can learn from it. It will also makes you reminisce to your rebellious days.. Aside from A Walk To Remember, this is another Nicholas Sparks’ fave of mine.

From Wikipedia
The Last Song is a 2009 novel by American author Nicholas Sparks. The Last Song is Sparks’ fifteenth published novel, and was written specifically as the basis for the film adaptation by the same name. It was released on September 8, 2009 by Grand Central Publishing. The story revolves around the summer of Ronnie Miller’s seventeenth year, during which she is sent to stay with her estranged father. Through their shared love of music, the duo reconnect.

This is a good book for rebellious teenagers or those with issues with their divorce parents. I really hope that the movie is as good as the book. Keeping my fingers cross!

A while ago while watching there’s a weird thing that happening to our television, our TV or rather the show that we’re watching is zooming in and out of the tube. This is really a premonition to buy a new one. LOL!

Actually my sister is really going to buy a Plasma TV this week and I’m dying to see it. A Plasma TV – so cool! We will also buy a plasma mount for it. A new TV and a new stand, wow, happiness! I’m also looking forward for a new and stylish room, in my dreams! LOL!

It’s already summer time here in the Philippines. When you go out it’s so hot that it feels like the sun is just a few inches away from you – right, that hot!

I’ve been looking forward to our family vacation, same as my Aunt in the states. She and my Uncle are looking forward for the summer. They’re planning to buy a house near the beach and they’ve been looking forward to retire there. My Aunt is telling me about Palos Verdes foreclosures last night. It’s a place near the beach which they love. I hope I can visit them when they bought the house. I miss them so much. I really wish I could visit or stay with them during vacation. That would be lots of fun!

My cousin’s and her BFF are planning to open a boutique next month. They’re both excited and super happy about it. My cousin is asking my sister about Symbol LS2208, I got nosy and asked what are they talking about. It turned out that they’re just talking about barcode scanner. It’s for the boutique.

Well, I’m happy and proud of her. I can’t wait to see their shop and can’t wait to see which items I’ll bring home (of course I’ll pay). Business is business.

A few weeks ago I wrote about my friend’s boyfriend who wanted to become a body builder. He’s looking for the best testosterone booster to help him gain muscles fast. It’s weird to hear that. I didn’t know that there are boosters that you could drink to help you gain muscles. Maybe a few month from now he’ll be the muscle man that he wants to be. A guy with a wrestler-kind-of-body, cool? Well, not for me..

I’ve been dieting for months now but I’m still big. Why? Well I’m so lazy to move my ass off, I don’t exercise. Hmph!

I know, I know, I’ll not lose weight fast if I don’t exercise. My sister and I are planning to buy some fitness equipment instead of going to the gym. I’m really looking forward to exercise and I really, really want to lose weight fast. It’s summer time here in the Philippines and it sucks that I can’t wear cute summer clothes. Well, no more regrets, It’s time to get physically fit.

My friends are coming over for dinner. These are high school girl friends whom I haven’t seen in years. Some are already married, some are still single like me. I am preparing a simple dinner for them. What I lack in cooking skills I compensate for in the decorations. I will put centerpieces on each of the three tables I will be setting up. A buffet table on the side complete with a chocolate fountain I got from a caterer friend of mine will be the place for the food. And a corner for drinks will also be set up.

The centerpiece will consist of flowers and candles. It will create a relaxed atmosphere. I know there will be no awkward moments for us but it is still good to have a piece we can all talk about to break the ice, aside from the weather, that is.

Can’t wait to see my high school friends! It will be this weekend. I just know I will have so much fun reminiscing about the past.

My friend’s sister is graduating this March and she wants to become a top insurance agent. It’s kinda weird to hear that because nobody that I know wants to become an insurance agent. My friend also told me that her sister is also studying the insurance marketing method or something so she’ll be on top or she’ll be ready on what to do. I’m pretty sure that she will achieve her goals. It’s just so inspiring how some people are really focus on their goals. I wish I’m that focus, too.

My dad is a smoker, some of my friends also smoke. Me, I can’t stand the smell of smoke. I can’t breathe whenever someone’s smoking around near me. And I really don’t get it why some people loves smoking.

My cousin just arrive from abroad and he gave a pack of cigars to my dad. He gave a brand named Dutch Masters and my dad really like it. What’s with cigars? I really can’t stand the smell. Oh well, maybe I guess I’m not into nicotine. Haha!

Rachel told us that her boyfriend is becoming obsess in going to the gym. Her boyfriend wants to have muscles like body builders. While she’s telling us that we can’t help but react in a negative way. I mean rippling muscles? Eeew!

She also told us that he’s looking for protein powders to help him build muscles. I didn’t know that you could but something to build muscles. I only know about steroids but that is prohibited to use, right? Rachel is very supportive and that really means how much she loves him. Body-builder-type-of-guy, not my cup of tea.

Larry, my highschool friend, is losing a lot of hair. His hair is thinning out and he’s becoming uncomfortable whenever people look at his head. Larry told us that he started losing hair due to stress from work and doesn’t know what to do with it.

Our other friend told us that he also had the same problem before and he researched for hair loss treatment. It had restore his hair growth without any side effects. Looking at him, you wouldn’t even know that he had also suffer from hair loss – he has a normal thick hair. That’s a really nice hair loss treatment, if I may say.

Before that highschool reunion, the other ting that I’m also anxious about aside from being a fatty is my skin. I had several dark marks due to pimples and thanks to the concealer, I was able to hide it. Now pimples are gone but there are still dark marks on my face so I’m thinking about using a facial cream. My friend who has a beautiful skin recommends this best day cream that I should use to protect my skin. Oh well, I’m gonna look for that later. I really wanted to have a flawless smooth skin that everyone is dying to have! Oh wishes!

Last Saturday, I had so much fun. My highschool friends and I had a reunion and we really really had a blast! Before the day of the reunion I was kind of anxious to attend because I’m still biggie and I’m really shy about it. Seeing my friends though made me feel at home so anxious-shy-me is gone! We chatted nonstop, laugh like there’s no tomorrow and of course, we took pictures as remembrance. I really had a great time!

Finally the photos were uploaded to facebook and to my horror – I look like a cow!!! Okay, I’m exaggerating but seeing myself sooo big is horrible. A girl in our batch is bigger than me but in pictures I look bigger than her! So horrible! Those pictures is an eye-opener, I need a quick weight loss program or something that would help me become skinny fast! Sigh! I really hope that next time we’ll see each other again, I’m not the fat lady anymore. Help!

Some parts of the United States are still hit by recession. Sad to say, my cousin is one of the latest victim. The company that he was staying had to shut down due to bankruptcy. It’s so sad to hear that he’s out of job.

My friend’s brother had also the same experience but luckily he was able to find another job sooner than he’d thought. My friend told me that his brother look for jobs online. He made a job search and was able find one that fits for him. This is a good news that I’m going to share with my cousin. I’m sure he’ll be so happy to hear about this. I really hope he’ll find a job soon.

My friend Maan is also dieting like me. She wanted to lose weight because she wants to get pregnant soon. We chatted yesterday and she told me about taking diet pills so she’ll lose weight fast. Her cousin recommends weight loss pills that fits her. Maan wants me to check it out so I’ll get my own diet pills, too. If I’m going to be really desperate I might resort to popping pills but for now, I’m okay with dieting and exercise.

I have several months to exercise to death before the big day (the wedding) and I’m really hoping and praying that I’ll be curvaceous-skinny at that time. Woohoot! I’m keeping my fingers crossed!

Our relative abroad is always telling us how important it is to have an insurance. If you’re living in the Philippines, you’ll know that not all people here have insurance. Our Uncle from North Carolina told us about the different insurance that they have including Medicare supplement insurance. It is an actual insurance policy that helps to cover some or all of the deductible, coinsurance, copay, and excess charges gaps in Medicare. It’s amazing to know that they have insurance like this. How I wish that we have something like this here in our country. Do we have one? Maybe I’m not just updated on different insurance. Hmmm, I’ll research about it
