Perhaps no other weight-loss tactic is simpler than walking. It’s something you do everyday. Even a couch potato has to get up in between commercials to go to take a leak or get a soda. And you always walk a few kilometers on your way to your office and back. And you also do some [...]

I bet you’re tired of living with roommates, and having to share everything from the comfort room to groceries. And you’re
probably thinking - it’s about time you live alone and free. If you have the means to get one, then why not get your very own pad? This way you get the independence and privacy [...]

Going green is always a good idea. If you support the government’s campaigns to reduce the pollution in our environment, you’ll need help. Start inside your home. Change starts from bottom up. It would be pointless if you can’t have your own time to do your own green goals. Here are things both of you [...]

The air you breathe gives you more than just air. The air in the atmosphere has been outnumbered by chemicals, and other particulates that are not good for your health. Air pollution have caused death in many cases, and when it didn’t, it brought respiratory diseases. With the emissions of all the cars in the [...]

Here’s another edition of LifeSpy screencast featuring one of our Windows tips on restoring the Run Command icon in the Windows Vista Start panel.

How’s work lately? Not so good? Do you hate your work? Well, that’s just original. If you look at the people you pass by on the street when you’re all on your way to your own work, you’ll see them scurrying with their Starbucks, and looking really stressed out - and it’s only morning!

Why do people invest so much on their careers and work 24/7 as if there’s no tomorrow? For reasons more profound than immediate need and bills, people work hard because they want to be comfortable after their retirement. Now of course things don’t always go the way you planned them, but it can sure save [...]

Some people may feel that they can never have too much jewelry. True, after all, no one can ever have enough of a good thing. And good, classic jewelry is as good as it gets. But for the more practical ones, or for the others who have yet to start their collection of “bling-bling,” [...]

Stress at work can really burn a person out. Good thing that more and more companies these days are now offering sabbatical leaves for their employees (though this is a lot more popular in the US and with the academe). I guess that they’ve realized how it would be better (core cost-efficient, perhaps?) in the [...]

It’s pretty hard to find inner peace these days when everything else goes fast. Thing is, having a little calmness of the mind and soul can do a lot in maintaining one’s sanity. Once you have found peace within, my little grasshopper, you’ll find out that most of the things around you also follow.

Before the over-confident gentlemen stand and saunter off, I suggest that they stick their butts to their seats and read on. A bottle of mouthwash (or a box of Tictacs for emergencies) and a well-practiced technique are only two-thirds of the formula to great kissing. The missing third is of course, soft, supple lips. You [...]

Sorry, you read it right. That’s Office 2003 for you. A bit retro but the functionality lies with that version and I haven’t found one for other versions. Anyway, redaction is the act done by the feds or the military to blot out lines or portions of text that they deem confidential despite the Freedom [...]

I have a few friends who want to delve into the restaurant business. Probably inspired by Ratatouille. Having a talented rat as chef not considered, running a restaurant is a tough job. Compared to a regular employee, restaurateurs have more reason to work longer hours, simply because the restaurant is dependent on his commitment. Being [...]

Staying a few days away from home? Need to pack toiletries? Not sure if you should bring all your shampoo bottles, conditioner tubes, body wash, facial cleanser-toner-moisturizer, deodorant, toothpaste, yadda-yadda with you? Answer is – no. Be a pack rat and bring what you need but without packing the bathroom sink.

Bad breath is a major turn off. Not only does it exclude you from meaningful and meaningless conversations, but it also gives you insecurity because, well, people wouldn’t want to be near you. You can call it discrimination but people in general will really stay away from people with bad breath. It can cripple your [...]
