For quickiers, that’s good enough

Okay, this stuff is for mature readers only. So if you’re a girl still playing with your dolls or teddy bears, you may want to skip this. But if you’re really curious… For guys who feel they’ve let down their bed mates because they came too quickly, don’t despair. Sex therapists in the US have found out it doesn’t take long to satisfy a woman in bed. Their findings will be published in the May 2008 issue of the Journal of Sexual Medicine, according to an Associated Press report this week. In the surveys they conducted, the sex therapists found ...

Bed-a-Bye baby

Mar 21 2008

Posted by Jim as Lifestyle and Leisure

  I’m picturing and hearing Sesame Street in my mind.  That song “Everybody Sleeps” just can’t let go, what a recall.  Probably one of the most useful furniture in our house… our beds.  Oh and they can be oooh so different, but you know when you find one, you tend to be loyal to it like a spouse.  I’ve heard of folks using the same bed since birth.  And some would say the quickest bed purchase they ever made was a short one and a half year from the old one. I for one have been using mine for about 5 ...

De-Clutter Your Room

Feb 26 2008

Posted by Jen as Lifestyle and Leisure, Lifestyle Features

Yesterday, I spent most of the day re-arranging my bedroom. I moved cabinets and drawers. I got rid of a few tables, big and small. This is nothing new of course. In the family, I am known for trying to make something new out of my room. However, one major difference this time around is the fact that I moved my bed. It's amazing what a difference moving one piece of furniture can do to a room. Instantly, I have this huge space in the middle. I'm thinking of putting a carpet there, actually. I have also gotten rid of ...

Enough.

Jan 18 2008

Posted by Lorie Therese as Lifestyle and Leisure

There are things in life that are more important than making a buck. There is a forwarded email that I've come across that said that when one is on his deathbed, he or she does not want to ask for more time at work; rather, most people would like to ask for more time... With family, friends and loved ones. This goes to show that man indeed is a social animal and that there is a need for humans to just connect. I am at the point in my life that while I would like to be more productive, to earn more, to buy that new MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, some other gadget salivation of mine, or that condo in an upscale development being built in a posh district in the area I live in, it actually boils down to one thing. Even if I may want to buy all that, at the end of the day, I do not want to push for more articles written or more sales, or more generativity.. I actually want to have more time to relate with the people I love.

Dive In

Jan 07 2008

Posted by Jen as Announcements, Lifestyle and Leisure, Lifestyle Features

Here's a new year's resolution you might want to try. We've heard it all before. Nothing is impossible. Impossible is nothing. Just do it. No regrets. They sound empowering and life changing but do we really take these adages to heart? Admit it. What usually happens is a one or two-week glow before the old life resumes its ways again. Well, this year I'm going to change all that. I'm going to dive in and enjoy the water. I'm even going to make it a point to enjoy the tides and currents that come with it. Diving in doesn't require ...

A Chilly First Day of the Year… Lorie’s Gone Emo. :p

Jan 01 2008

Posted by Lorie Therese as Lifestyle and Leisure

It’s a chilly morning here in my room, and I’m taking a break from scouring UST’s Multiply group for possible customers and contacts. I had happened by a couple of blogs that had songs that mirrored the chill caressing my skin and freezing my heart. Don’t mind me though. The new year’s first morning had always been poignant for me. Maybe the air and the weather are just mirroring my affect. While yesterday I had listed the ten things I was thankful for in 2007, I greet 2008 with a gray mist surrounding my heart. What I’d give to be on the shore of a turbulent ocean right now. What I’d give to be facing a turbulent ocean at around five past in the morning, when the day has yet to start, and the sky has this gray hue with only a hint of color.

Thank you, 2007. :)

Dec 31 2007

Posted by Lorie Therese as Lifestyle and Leisure, Articles

As the year comes to a close, I would like to do something cliché: be thankful for the past year. :) So while you await the fireworks and I sleep them away, I would like to say my piece just before the year ends. Oprah is always big on the gratitude memes and she encourages people to make it a point to be thankful. It has virtue in it, because after I recount how thankful I am for things, events, people, realizations, etc., in my life, I forget my pains and complaints. I realize that life is good after all, and that all in all, I am a fortunate, blessed person. I may not seem like that to some people, but the fact that there are things I can be thankful for after all makes me realize that life is truly worth looking forward to living each day. :) So without further ado, let me start...

All over the world, people are getting ready to celebrate Christmas. For most, one of the most anticipated highlights is the gift giving part. It isn't only the children who are excited to receive gifts from their loved ones. I, however, sit on the other side of the fence. What excites me most about the month is the fact that I get to go Christmas shopping! Just to put a little twist to this whole gift giving business and to help propagate a cause, here are a few eco-friendly suggestions! 1. If you're the type of person who loves giving ...

Writer’s Survival Kit 2: Tools for the Tech-Savvy Scribe-slash-Visionary

Nov 27 2007

Posted by Lorie Therese as Lifestyle and Leisure, Virtual Office, Tricks of the Trade, Business Concepts

Last week, I discussed my primitivo royale writer’s tools to maximize time. Now here is my concept survival kit, because I have yet to purchase any of these, because I had to fill my room with essentials first. I believe that the tech-savvy writer has to have the best tools of the trade in order to do his or her job excellently. These tools, these gadgets do not have to be the top-of-the-line branded stuff, but as long as they: are sturdy, durable, and will last you at least two years deliver decent to great output serve their purpose and more.. ..then they are top-notch in my book. More so if they are as hot as this baby that I deem essential to my career, and am actually aiming to get. I believe that a writer/blogger, when offline, has to have these essentials
