Hurrah! for Starbucks because they are implementing “No Smoking” in all stores. I wonder if I would see people there using ecigarette.

Why would they not have this tule, there is a “No Smoking in Public” law of RA 9211 or Tobacco Regulation that was passed.

For those who are allergic to smoke like me and those who have asthma, this is definitely something we have to say we approve of. Yey!

There will be designated smoking areas for the smokers and I’m sure I wouldn’t want to venture in those area How would people know if these are the designated areas for smoking, authorities say they will put big drums with sand inside. I really hope the authorities will be strict in implementing these rules and not just be strict at the beginning of the implementation.

To smokers, you are not being told to NOT smoke, you can smoke all you want, only in the designated areas where you are supposed to smoke. Ktnxbai.

I miss my Zumba classes. Zumba classes started on the first week of June but I haven’t enrolled yet.

I want to but I had to get back into the “school days” routine first before I enroll. I also want to have new clothes even if these are not Zumba Wear, LOL. Yes, I’d like to think that I’m a Zumba dancer! Woohoo!

I do dance when I’m home, when I can dance like no one is watching but it is a different thing when doing it with others. You don’t want to sit down and rest because everyone else is exerting so much effort and you’d be inspired to give your best. You want to really, really sit and keep the thumping heart at bay.

I really hope I can enroll next month.

Someone has been busy all summer lifting weights and eating lean meat to boost muscle development. This young Johnny Bravo wanna-be even asked me about what the best creatine supplement is.

Whoa! I told the young man is slow down first, enjoy the benefits of his efforts and not take anything without a doctor’s advice first. I told him it’s best if he lift weights with a professional’s advice too and not do it alone and without guidance.

He may have heeded my advice because he said he is convincing his dad to have him get a gym membership after his 18th birthday. Yey!

So many weight loss solution options: high fiber supplement, sensa weight loss, herbal supplements, water therapy, dancexercise, vegetarian diet and whole lot of what-not.

Sometimes it feels like I’ve read more weight loss reviews than literature I needed for my college thesis.

Yes. I want to keep the bulge off or maybe keep the weight in an acceptable number though by just reading about it won’t make me lose what I need to lose, right?it’s not just the weight loss, it’s the health benefits. *rolls eyes*

If there’s one thing that I need to do would be to get up, stretch, and monitor my time in front of this gadget. Is there an auto shot-off program I can use?

I came from an intimate bloggers event where the main speaker was a skin care expert. No, she didn’t talk specifically about how to get rid of pimples but about skin and aging of which I am very much so interested, thank you!

I admit, this is something we have to live with when we are older and wiser. The talk about moisturizers, skin care and use of sunscreen was interesting. I met some beauty bloggers too. And no, I don’t fancy myself as one, LOL.

Can’t wait to write my post about this and try the new product myself.

The heat is on. And yes, aside from the usual rashes when it’s hot, I have a minor breakout on the face with two big zits. Ugh. Someone suggested I use acnepril. I have been drinking lots of water these days and steering clear away from soda. Yeah, I know, it IS hard.

Skin care during summer means doing the following:

• Use water-based moisturizer to help nourish the skin.
• Use sunscreen.
• Put on lip balm to avoid drying of the lips
• Use clothes that will minimize exposure to the sun
• Avoid being outdoors between 10am and 3pm
• Avoid clothes that irritate your skin. Instead wear something light.

Misting yourself with a spray bottle is also a good idea. Taking good care of your skin is not only for vanity’s sake but for your protection and health too.

Have a happy summer!
