Living to Stay Young

Think and Stay Young

Living in the metropolis requires a hearty life because the city is so energized by both good and bad vibes. It is really up to us to live our lives with equanimity to reduce the everyday stress. I grabbed this somewhere as some kind of tips or suggestions to retain or at least reduce the effects of aging:

Try everything twice. On one woman's tombstone she said she wanted this epitaph:
"Tried everything twice. Loved it both times!"
Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.
(Keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches!)
Keep learning. Learn more about  computers, gadgets if you will;  crafts, gardening, whatever.. Never let the brain get idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.' And the devil's name is Alzheimer's!
Enjoy the simple things.
Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots of time with HIM/HER.
Tears happen.  Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. LIVE while you are alive.
Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants,
hobbies, whatever.. Make your home  your refuge.

Cherish your health. If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you
can improve, get help.
Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county, to a foreign country, but
NOT to where the guilt is.
Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.
Ex: I love you, my special friend!
Forgive now those who made you cry. You might not get a second chance.
But do share this with someone if you can. Remember, lost time can never be found again.
Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you might meet is fighting some kind of battle.
Wine does not make you FAT .... it makes you LEAN .....     (against tables, chairs, floors, walls
 and ugly people.)

Intelligent car, anyone?

Image
I love intelligent or smart cars . I am sure you would too. 'The original idea behind the very short "smart car" was that the vehicle would be easy to park. It is short enough to allow it to be parked "nose-in" where a conventionally sized car would have to parallel park. Its length of 250 centimetres (98.4 in ) equals the width of a regular parking slot, allowing two or three smarts to park in the same space as one normal car if parked side-on to the usual parking direction'. Smart Car custom LCB (Lindt chocolate Bunny edition.) 'The project idea was originally started by Swiss watch manufacturer Swatch and was nicknamed the "Swatchmobile". The name SMART is an acronym for Swatch Mercedes ART . [1] [2] The car was supposed to use innovative features (such as a hybrid engine ) and to be an affordable car for young people. Similar to the objective for the Citroën 2CV in the 1940s , its purpose was to "transport two people and a...

Living with tropical cyclones

This time it is Juan; it almost totally devastated the province of Isabela and other nearby provinces. At the time I am writing this post there is a danger that it could return because it has remained quasi-stationary in the South China Sea. Rice warehouses, infrastructure, rice plantation in Isabela: everything almost wiped out. God help our country.

Thank God My Employer Took Out a Policy and so Did I

My life totally change when I got ill and was forced to resign from a full-time job. The pay was good but very stressful. I thought, yah, right. Now I can take a break. And what a break it was. My big hospital doctor and my family physician (FP) both discouraged me from leaving my job. Both were worried that since I was quite ill, the more I needed to work. What or who is going to answer my medical bills? If someone depends on you financially, the likelihood is that you need insurance. Whether it is health, life or business insurance it is a financial resource. Having left my regular employee arrangement, I managed to convince my bosses that they continue paying for my health insurance benefit in exchange for part time work. Reduced work load gave me time that I needed to attend to my illness. And it took a year before I completed all the necessary tests to give a conclusive medical prognosis. Thanks to my health care insurance I didn’t have to worry about payin...
