Keeping Computer Healthy Performance at its Best!

This post brought to you by Vipre. All opinions are 100% mine.

Do you notice it that if you work out, you feel more energized and active? Also, when taking vitamins and on a healthy diet, you would feel you’re healthier; therefore, your lifestyle is more beautiful that it was before. I totally had an experience like this after I decided to exercise again.  Not only because I wanted to lose certain extra pounds, but also wanted to live longer for my children.  I could say that was other things needed too.  Computers are like human. If you put a lot of things in it beyond its limit and capacity, there’s a tendency of being unhealthy. Therefore, taking vitamins and minerals, proper dieting is required for human to continue running and enjoy life. And that’s what computers are too! If you give your computer an internet security protection, then it will runs at its best. You can enjoy surfing and even watching your favorite work out videos just right at the comfort of your own home.


I truly admire Vipre after downloading and installing its anti-virus software, I felt so relived knowing that it would give my computer a healthy performance it deserve. Through Vipre firewall protection, web filtering, and spam filter, my computer is absolutely protected. We all know we would get sick for once in a  while but it is something that overtime will consume our immunity, therefore, eating healthy, staying active, watch what you eat is needed. Just like computers it needs daily scanning, quick scanning and even customized scanning to ensure it was 100% healed from severe infections.  There are a lot of internet security that supposed to cure, rather, they make the infections worst than ever! It makes my computer weaker too and even slow.

Therefore, if you choose to get healthy, then choose something for your computer as well to do the same. Getting sick is forbidden these days due to medical expenses it may cause to you, but computers are getting expensive as well, so it’s better to save your computer from all these malware threats through vipre’s  scan and updates.

It’s not too late yet! So, if you want to know more about VIPRE Internet Security, then it’s time to visit the computer doctor at www.vipreantivirus.com at anytime!

This is Tae Bo!

It's been almost a week now that my knee were feeling better. I'm so glad because it means one thing, I could back to work out pretty soon. I missed exercise, I felt that I'm gaining weight again. I thought, I should have been watching what I ate for these past few weeks because I felt so tired and lazy again.
So, I decided to motivate myself on something. I went to a nearby department store and grab myself a new workout DVD and that's where I found this Tae Bo DVD by Billy Banks. It's the definitive Tae Bo workout for maximum fat burning. I love Tae Bo because it's a form of kickboxing and punching. I love the idea of how Billy Banks makes his DVD more fun and help every one step by step, giving proper form of how to do it especially with basic moves. The eye catching of this DVD is the promising of dropping 5 pounds in one week! Hmm...sounds exciting, huh?!
Now, I can't wait to start and share to you my progress! I hope my knee will cooperate with me, this time. I think I'm not used to wearing high heeled shoes anymore because I think that's where I got it injured. I also minimize Zumba since it eventually uses a lot of movement on lower area of the body. I decided to give my knee some more kick off as I continue my journey to losing weight. Well, it's time to really lose weight and this time, let's do Tae Bo! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 photo allstatelogo_300x60_zps5487a605.jpg

Well, it reminds me of a person that was very closed to my heart. I remembered those times when he was in low life situation where we thought, he would end up like nothing.  He would be just a man whose life has no direction at all. But, he chooses to stand up tall and showed us that everything will changed for him. He is now a professional cop, a job that everyone was dreaming of. He chooses to live a good life and somehow push off some of the negative things that happened in his life, with no doubt or fear.

Therefore, when you recognize triumph over adversity, fear or doubt, there's always a chance to celebrate moments of simplicity and contentment in life with courage and patience. So, if you have dream in life, go for it. Reach for the stars!

So, what are your own good stories? Share now and let me know what did you do to overcome some of these obstacles? I would love to know!

Yesterday, my husband and I were watching a movie and all of a sudden, we're craving for something sweet. Thankful that I received a product as complimentary for testing and review purposes from Influenster that absolutely will interest you.

Cheesecake Masterpiece

Cooking is one of the things I must do in order to provide my family a healthy meals at the dining table. Though, I don't have that much of an experience but my mom is the one who inspired me to do so. When I used to live at my parent's house, I don't really have any idea of how to cook. My mom was the one who always cooked a lot at our house, from breakfast to dinner. Therefore, she always told me and my sister to that we need to learn how to cook because once we get married, cooking meals is part of it. Lucky me, I have a husband who doesn't care, if I cooked meals or not. He would just wait of what I'm going to cook. He was very supportive when it comes to matter like this.


Anyway, I was bored last weekend, therefore, I decided to try, how to cook the famous cheesecake. So, I gathered all the ingredients but I'm missing one. I have read a lot of recipes online but this recipe always been used by many when making a New York style cheesecake. OK, a lot of people added Sour cream on their recipes but I found a recipe that didn't used sour cream at all. Without sour cream, my cheesecake turned out good and creamier compare to some cheesecake, I have ever tried before.

So, here's my masterpiece. I used these mini pie crusts that I bought at the store. Actually, they turned out good. I like this mini crusts because I could able to portion the cheesecake perfectly.

Knee Pain

image source
It’s been two weeks since I stopped my exercise due to the pain I had been going through for almost two weeks now. It’s something wrong with my left knee for some reason but I don’t know where I got it injured. Though, I remembered that it was Friday about two weeks ago. I went to the store to get something and when I’m done, I walked out from the store and noticed it was drizzling and it was cold. So, since I’m only wearing my high heeled sandal, I decided to run slowly. Then, I didn’t know that put a lot of pressure on my left knee. Because when I got up the next morning that’s where I felt pressure and I couldn’t even bend my knee and walk normally when taking the stairs.

However, I really wanted to see a knee doctor to see find out what really happened. Maybe an X-ray exam will let me know how I injured my knee. Although, it’s getting better now but still once in a while, I could still feel a little bit pain when sitting up and laying down on the floor. I’m also applying pain reliever to it, a hot compressor which also helps but not for long.

Well, I don’t really need to undergo any treatment that involved a physical therapy or anything associated with physiotherapist because we don’t have any health insurance anymore and I don’t want to pay more bills. Yet, I thought, it would be for the best if I consult a doctor. Then, they will help determine the reason for the pain, I’ve been experiencing through an in-depth assessment which will help guide any treatment and exercises I will receive.

I thought the pain may have relationship with my workout last month too, which mostly I did dance fitness and squatting. I may be adding too much pressure and work on my knees during those times. I may need to drink some calcium to make my bones stronger and stable to do these types of activities.

Exercise and Your Monthly Period

Image Source
it's been four days since I haven't done any work out due to a monthly period. I always not wanting to work out whenever I had my menstruation due to the fact that it always makes me feel uncomfortable. However, I read about that some women who even had their monthly period, continuously do their work out routine because they said, the menstruation didn't do anything at all or effects them to not exercise or do any activities like swimming, running, biking, yoga and light weights regardless of her cycle status.. For me, it makes me feel uncomfortable especially during heavy days. I rather just sit down and lay on the couch and watched TV during these days.

According to studies, actually it's true that menstruation wouldn't do anything on your body if you work out. But, through hormone level changes during menstrual cycle, women tend to injured themselves more due to the changes on their bones. That intrigues me. Isn't it true. Well, I think no matter what it is, I think women might need to exercise more than in order to work out on the part of the body that is weak. Don't you think? I also have learned that exercising during your period can cause stress. I think there are a lot of reasons behind it.


How about you? Do you go continue your fitness workout during your monthly period? I know most women doesn't care the idea of monthly period. A lot of them still continue doing what they love to do than being affected by their period. I think they're mostly committed to fitness than showing discomfort. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Skinny Pop is a cholesterol free popcorn snack that will also help you stay fit.

My husband loves to snack popcorn when we were watching movies too. And this one makes a perfect snack without worries of eating again. Sometimes, people avoid late night snacks because it's a main cause of weight gain. Therefore, I shared these new alternative, all natural popcorn snack because I know that you can't resist on snacking late at night. To feel good, why not get a snack that would make you feel comfortable?


Skinny Pop is dairy free, tree nut free and even peanut free, therefore, it's safe for children to eat. Or even to people who are hypersensitive to both dairy and peanut.

Motivation is a Key!

Last year, when I went to the Philippines to visit my family. My nephew at that time we're still a little bit chubby. But then recently, when I look at his new pictures, he was looking so good. I was surprised. I thought what did he do in order to lose a lot of weight. He has been in decathlon at school. He joined as an athlete. He has been doing it for almost a year and eventually he loses a lot of weight.

Below are his pictures from before and after.


I remember of how chunky and big he was when he was a kid. He has been overweight. But after a couple of years, he was still in blimp. Until now! He eventually loses a lot of pounds by just running and be active in sports. He also plays basketball during his spare time. I'm so proud of him. What motivates him to do it is just for him to feel good and as I asked him, he eventually told me that it's just for him to be able look good for others to see as well. See, nothing is impossible. If you have a motivation and patience, everything is possible.

Weslo Cadence G 5.9 Treadmill

It's been almost a month now that I was working out at home. All I did was the Zumba Fitness using Wii as my work out buddies. Sometimes, when boredom strikes me, I will do TaeBo as an alternative. Yet, for doing the same workout every day, I get bored, although, the outcome still feels energize me to feel good. So, I always tell my husband of how I wish I could able to run and walk outside so I can have another alternative work out. But the weather is still cold and freezing. So, one day, we went to Wal-Mart and we stayed in the car. I thought he was only going to get something but when he came out from the store, he was bringing with him two Wal-Mart guys carrying a treadmill.


Yes! He got me a treadmill. It's not that expensive treadmill but the idea of I could able to walk and run right at the comfort of our home is what matters most. Having two kids to babysit, then I need to walk and run without leaving home. Going to the gym also costs me money and maybe more than what my husband paid for this treadmill.


It's the Weslo Cadence G 5.9, it features six personal trainer workouts, a two-position incline and comfortable cushioning, The first time I used it, I was amazed. The treadmill is very pretty fast. It also features incline, which can be added simply by folding or unfolding the latches at the bottom end of the treadmill, this is great for a little extra intensity. I could only do 4.0 and I'm already in a running phase. This Weslo treadmill is a perfect exercise machine for losing weight or increasing performance because of its built in personal training workout which is great to keep up a daily routine workout. I'm so thankful to hubby for buying this for us.


As most treadmill are, this one also does the same thing. It tells you everything from how many calories you have burned to how much time you have left in your workout, how long you have been working out and it even tells you total distance ran or walked. What I love about this treadmill is that it's not only affordable but also if I wanted a minimal workout, I can go as slow as I want to as fast as I want.
Easy to store
 Now, I'm looking forward to run miles and miles and lose some of my unwanted extra fats. I hope I could keep up!

30 Day Squat Challenge

A lot of my friends had been into this Squat Challenge lately where daily you will do numbers of squats. I was thinking of doing it and been starting do it actually but I stopped. Now, I have to do it all over again. I don't know if would work out or effective but nothing wrong with trying it out, right?

This how it goes:
Day 1- 30 squats
Day 2- 40 squats
Day 3- 50 squats
Day 4- 60 squats
Day 5- 70 squats
Day 6- 80 squats
Day 7- REST DAY!
Day 8- 90 squats
Day 9- 100 squats
Day 10- 110 squats
Day 11- 120 squats
Day 12- 130 squats
Day 13- 140 squats
Day 14- REST DAY!
Day 15- 150 squats
Day 16- 160 squats
Day 17- 170 squats
Day 18- 180 squats
Day 19- 190 squats
Day 20- 200 squats
Day 21- REST DAY!
Day 22- 220 squats
Day 23- 230 squats
Day 24- 240 squats
Day 25- 250 squats
Day 26- 260 squats
Day 27- REST DAY!!
Day 28- 265 squats
Day 29- 270 squats
Day 30- 300 squats

As a result it will help to eliminate the fat at the lower body. It also improve and tighter the abs section and it also leans the legs and toned it down.  Then, it also helps to tighter the butt, your glute area area which I think would work if it's done right.  Due to the squatting, it also helps to improve and increased strength and flexibility. 



So, my decision is, to get back to it! Let's see if it works on me! All I need now is to properly used the squatting. I found this video of how to do so.

Body Trimmer Belt

It's been three weeks now since I started working out. I've been wanting to lose weight since I had a baby almost two years ago. I had a c-section, an emergency one. I wish I only knew since then that I need a body wrap to control my healing muscle. Eventually, everything was too late, I found out about it after just now. So, I decided to buy a body wrap which could me as well to lose some of the few inches on my body while exercising. I found this cute body wrap at No More Rack, a website where you can find stuff at very affordable price.

The body wrap trimmer belt only costs me $10. I remembered my sister used to have one when she was working out. So it reminds me of her. She eventually lost some few inches and I wanted to experience it too. The body wrap was just easy to use. Wrapping the body trimmer around my belly was very comfortable, plus it shed me a lot of sweats while doing my dance moves. The body trimmer also promotes lose weight by preserving the heat out of your body and stimulates water loss. It also has Velcro which I could adjust every now and then. It's very lightweight, hand-washable and also supports my back when doing pilates and abs work out. I hope this would be the start of it all. Losing post pregnancy is very hard but I will have to keep doing it for sure.

Selection of Pope Francis


My review would be too late now but I’m quite glad that finally that Catholic religion had found a new pope to replaced former Pope Benedict. I remembered of how my friends on Facebook has been so excited about it and even the news were tackling about what might happen in the voting event for a new pope in the Vatican City in Rome. I’m not catholic but I also got excited of the suspense of what color of smoke might come out of the chimney
would be white or black. I’m getting into the hype.


But after two days, finally the new pope has been selected and it makes the Catholic people really happy because the chosen pope is the 76-year old Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the archbishop of Buenos Aires of Argentina who has the love of poor. He is now the 266th Pope in Catholic History.

I was watching a TV talk show last night and I found out that the new pope Francis has been in surgery that left him to have only one liver. It is really surprising of how he was able to still able to be of what he was right now. But so glad to know that he once expressed his views strongly against abortion, contraception, and homosexuality which I think would be the best quality of him.

2013 85th Oscar Academy Awards

Last month when I was watching the Oscar Awards, my bet is the movie “Les Miserables”. However, I was happy with the outcome. Yet, I never seen this movie Argo, but it took the spotlight. “Argo” took home the Best Picture award during the Oscar Academy Awards.

Somehow, Daniel Day-Lewis took home the Best Actor award for his role in “Lincoln” and Jennifer Lawrence won Best Actress for "Silver Linings Playbook." I haven’t had a chance to see both the Lincoln and Silver Linings Playbook yet but I was looking forward to, one of these days when I had a chance to. Actually, last week, I learned that Silver Linings Playbook was not really a good movie but somehow Lawrence did a good job to play her part.

On the other hand, Ang Lee won the best director award for "Life of Pi." It was a major upset, as Steven Spielberg had been favored for "Lincoln”. I didn’t even see the “life of Pi yet but it’s the top of my list. I can’t wait to see it soon on video. I heard good things about this movie, of how good it is.

 Yet so far, I was so surprised when Christoph Waltz took home the first big award of the night, winning best supporting actor for his role in "Django Unchained." Well, he absolutely a good actor, I have seen him in few films and he did very captivating, especially when he played the role of being villain in the movie, Water for Elephants and Inglourious Basterds which he won supporting actor in 2009. Eventually, I still felt so happy when Anne Hathaway took home the award for best supporting actress for her role in "Les Miserables." This movie is amazing!

Overall, the award’s night is awesome, I thought about twice with Argo though while asking the question, why? But, I think if I see the movie, then maybe I could answer my own questions. I can’t wait to see all of these movies soon. Yet, so fun with Adele who entertained the Oscar audience in a much-anticipated performance of her hit "Skyfall."
