Changes
Changes are part of life. Instead of fighting it, embrace it. Sometimes, it can be the best thing that ever happened. Just breathe, and keep moving forward.

Happy Man
Man is happy as he finds work worth doing.. and does it well.
This saying fits me to a T. I've been impatient and restless when workload was slow with my previous work, knowing that there are a lot of things to do but just don't have the details to do them. Now, it's only a week that I lost my job, though I'm still officially paid till end of this month, I'm impatient and restless and wish that I can find a new work-from-home job that suits me.

Gingivitis and Periodontitis
Gingivitis is a gum disease that is very common. It is known to affect 50% of US adult population. In Germany, around 95% of 18-year-olds have it. And there are even cases of deaths in other countries.
I'm suffering from gingivitis and maybe early signs of periodontitis. Since I'm not really into commercial medicines, and I had found out early on that the commercial mouthwashes tend to make my gums more softer, I looked for alternative ways to cure ailment and make my gums healthier.
Baking Soda as a Toothpaste
Yep, it doesn't taste good. It's salty and the first time I used it, it's really yucky. But the effects are instantaneous too. To create a baking soda toothpaste, just mix 1 tsp of baking soda with 1/4 tsp of hydrogen peroxide. Wet your toothbrush and dab it in the mixture. It will just absorb the right amount of baking soda toothpaste that you can use.
You can also add mint oils or lemon extract to the baking soda toothpaste to make it more appealing. Some also said just sprinkling baking soda on your regular toothpaste works. Or simply dabbing a wet toothbrush to a container of baking soda powder would do the same.
Apple Cider Vinegar as a mouthwash
Just mix 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar to 1 cup warm water, put it in a container and use (gargle) as needed.
Floss
I've read that the right way to floss is to do it before brushing. The idea is to loosen up and remove the particles in between teeth. I used to floss after toothbrush but now I do it before I toothbrush.
By the way, these tips are also good for fixing bad breath.

Bug vs Defect vs Issue
I saw this as a ym status of a colleague who is a QA and since I'm also doing QA works now, I wondered myself what's the difference. And here's what I found:
Bug
- things that a software does that it's not supposed to do
- things that a software doesn't do but it's supposed to do
Defect
- a quality problem that is discovered after the program has been deployed to clients
Issue
- can be a bug or a feature enhancement request

Common Sense
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
- Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
- Why the early bird gets the worm;
- Life isn't always fair;
- And maybe it was my fault.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies, don't spend more than you can earn and adults, not children, are in charge. His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place.
Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition. Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.
Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault. Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, by his wife Discretion, his daughter Responsibility, and his son, Reason. He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers; I Know My Rights,I Want It Now,Someone Else Is To Blame,I'm A Victim.Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, do nothing.
This is an FB status that I think rings truth. Just glad to know that most of these laws are not yet in place here. Though I can see them slowly coming in place, starting with parents are not allowed to give corporal punishment to their children (House Bill 682 and Senate Bill 1812)

Happily Married Husband and Wife Week
One of the most visited posts in my blog is Husband and Wife Week and this is another FB status I found which is sweet
Happily Married Husband and Wife Week -- If your spouse is still your best friend, works extremely hard, has been with you through triumphs and tragedies, who loves you when you're at your worst, and whom you are PROUD to be married to, copy and paste to your status....

On Jobs
When choosing a career, remember this. "A steady income is poor compensation for a job you hate." Choose one which you love & commit to it.
vs
A job can be done no matter how hard it is, if the price is right.
The first one I saw from an FB status. The second one was the sentiment of my friend and ex-co-worker. I favor the first though my friend says idealistic ways go away with age. Maybe she's right. Or maybe she has grown cynical because of what she has experienced. And hopefully, I won't grow as cynical as she did.

Let Go and Let God
Let go and let God.
This is a status message of a colleague and this is really for me. For a lot of reasons:
Yeah, it's time for me to let go and let God.
This is a status message of a colleague and this is really for me. For a lot of reasons:
- A lost job which I've grown to love
- An ex-friend who had shown her true colors
- A not-so-successful vacation (which is related to the previous reason)
Yeah, it's time for me to let go and let God.

Lie Detector Robot
A dad buys a lie detector robot which slaps people when they lie. He decides to test it at dinner.
"Son, where were you today?"
The son says "at school dad." Robot slaps the son!
"Ok, I watched a dvd at my friends house!"
"What dvd?" "Toy story." Robot slaps the son again!
"Ok, it was a porn" cries the son.
"What! When I was your age I didn't know what porn was" says the dad. Robot slaps the dad!
Mom laughs "HaHaHa! Well, He's your son." Robot slaps the mom........
"Son, where were you today?"
The son says "at school dad." Robot slaps the son!

Mom laughs "HaHaHa! Well, He's your son." Robot slaps the mom........
Degrade to Upgrade?
Never degrade another person in order to upgrade yourself. Hate depreciates YOUR value, not theirs
Goal
A goal is a dream with a deadline.
Thinking about it, I have dreams in life and goals in work... now maybe, I should have a goal in life too.

First Football Game
A guy took his girlfriend to her first football game. After the game, he asked her how she liked it.
"Oh, I really liked it," she replied, "especially the tight pants and the big muscles, but I don't get why they were killing each other over 25 cents."
Dumbfounded, her date asked, "What do you mean?"
"Well, they flipped a coin, one team got it and then for the rest of the game, all they kept screaming was: 'Get the quarterback! Get the quarterback!' I'm like, hello? It's only 25 cents.

Complete, Not Compete
Husbands and wives were designed to complete each other, not compete with each other.
This is so true. And I'm really saddened when hearing about couples who are with insecure and immature individuals.
