People nowadays are always on the lookout for something new and different. Products that used to have only one flavor now have several. Before, ice cream was vanilla or chocolate. Now there are hundreds of flavors available. The same goes for candies, cakes, chewing gums and other consumer products. What is surprising is that cigars also have flavors. Aside from the regular and menthol, swisher sweet cigars have a variety of other flavors including peach, strawberry, chocolate, cherry, grape, white grape, and wine. I guess smokers also appreciate different taste to the smoke they inhale.

For the past month our housecleaner has made herself scarce. She has not been by to clean the house and has not responded to our messages. I am not really fond of cleaning the house. My allergies act up when I sweep floors or wipe dust. I can clean the bathroom or wipe the sink. I am glad for undermount stainless steel sinks because they are very easy to clean. There are no food particles getting in between the bowl of the sink and the counterpane. As for the floors, my brother must have gotten tired of the dirty floor that he volunteered to mop it. It was a good thing my mom arrived. Now she keeps the house clean for us.
There are people who are gifted with the sense of style. You can see that from the way they dress to the way they decorate their living space, not just their homes but also their offices. However, my aunt said that a sense of style need not be inborn. It could be learned by looking at magazines, TV shows, window shopping and other media. It is surprising how even little details like the design of a switchplate and handles of cabinets are not overlooked. These could be coordinated or serve as accents to the rest of the décor. I just wish I have this sense of style or the energy to learn it.
When I went home to the province last year, I had the realization that it would be great if I could spend more time there just to rest. I long for the time when I was a student and long summer breaks were the norm. Now that I am working, usually leaving for five days is the longest you can have without feeling guilty. Sometimes when the hustle and bustle of the city gets too much, it would be nice to go somewhere quiet, like a house in the woods, complete with wooden furniture like log beds, rocking chairs and wooden trestle. There is something soothing about a rustic setting. Maybe it is because it brings back memories of a more relaxed and less stressful past.
Pillows have many uses. These can be used for decorations, for exercising, as boundaries, support for body while sitting down in a chair or a couch, and of course, as support for your head while sleeping. Pillows come in various sizes, texture, stuffing and shapes. Some people prefer big pillows like body pillows they can hug or many smaller pillows scattered around the bed. However, for some people, pillows are more than just support or comfort for the body. These cushions have also become comfort for their minds and souls because pillows are witnesses to their secret joys and tears. If pillows could talk, then you can just imagine the secrets that they’ll reveal.
White cap, white blouse, white skirt, white stockings and white shoes typically come to mind when one describes the uniform of a nurse. Although these items are still worn by nurses, there are also other nurses uniforms. Nowadays, nurses also wear scrub suits in different colors. Their uniforms are no longer limited to white but vary in color, style and print. Like everything else, uniforms adapt to changing times and needs.
It is a little more than two weeks before Valentine’s Day. Husbands, boyfriends, and significant others would be racking their brains once again to come up with gift ideas or how to make their Valentine date special. This is most frustrating for students because they have to stretch their already very thin allowance to buy something special for their girlfriends. I am sure they would be love to get suggestions on girlfriend gifts under 100. Gifts during Valentine’s Day need not be expensive but they have to be special. Girls just want to know that the guys remembered and made an effort.
I was attending mass earlier. There were many children who accompanied their parents. A boy seated at the other side, a few rows ahead of me, was playing with his yoyo. I just marveled at the fact that toys like yoyos, jackstones, and pickup sticks never seem to run out fad for kids even though high tech gadgets for kids seem to be the name of the game. I am glad that kids today still get to enjoy these toys that I enjoyed when I was a kid.
Gloves are very useful hand protection. They come in different sizes, texture, shape, and purpose. There are gloves for the cold, for gardening, washing, playing golf, or rock climbing. There are gloves like alpinestars gloves for driving motorcycles or cars. Gloves are also very important in some jobs. Welders and machinists need gloves to protect their hands. Surgeons use gloves to protect not just themselves but their patients as well. Just imagine what would happen if surgeons do not wear gloves during operation? How unhygienic that would be. All these prove that the invention of gloves is at par with the invention of slice bread.
