There are times when I fear that I may have imbalance in hormone, especially at certain times of the month. But mostly I presume my feeling lethargic is caused by an unhealthy diet for the most part, and lack of physical activity on the other. It’s hard sometimes to assess yourself if you’re just being paranoid and hypochondriac or if you’re putting off seeing the doctor when you actually have to. Speaking of hormone therapy, I remember hearing from a friend that such treatments (e.g., bioidentical hormone replacement therapy) sometimes cause dramatic weight increases, so I can only hope I won’t need to have that anytime in the future (we’re not going to talk about menopause here; that’s still too far). There are alternatives to hormone replacement like natural hormones, but I’ve read that drugs are not necessarily safe just because they’re “natural.”
So I’m trying to start a debt-free life but it is still going to take so much work. I’ve been so used to swiping cards and not carrying cash (because I usually don’t have those, heh) that I read those Credit Card Ratings like I would read a cool beauty magazine. It’s embarrassing, really. But the thing is, using cards is not all that bad. I can list a hundred advantages. I guess my point is being neck-deep in debt because of using credit cards isn’t the cards’ fault. It’s all about managing and self-control really. If you have Secured Credit Cards, well that’s better. The thing is, when I first decided to get a credit card, apply for one I mean, I never imagined that I’ll be able to accumulate a number of them. Well, part of the reason is because I am a good payer, so I guess credit card companies find it easy to approve my applications. I even got a number of pre-approved cards I didn’t even apply for. The hard part is not using all of them and only using them and then paying everything in full at the end of every month. That has really become a challenge for me. It’s hard, but I’m now just trying to pay for them and possibly not spend extravagantly in the next few years to come. If only I only use a Secured Credit Card. After I paid everything, I’ll probably get one and cancel everything else.
For the next several months, our company will have a number of extracurricular activities for the employees to participate in, in keeping with the Work-Life-Balance mantra. I am thinking about volunteering as staff for some of those events.I may have to plan on setting up vinyl banners for some of the events. For example, for the Battle of the Bands, I’m thinking there must be banners above and on all sides of the stage. Well, I haven’t really figured out how to go about it, so we’ll see if it isn’t be going to be too crowded that way. Even the badminton, darts, bowling, and basketball tournaments would need some banners to announce them and I’m thinking of buying some car magnets for those events I will be joining as a contestant. This will be fun! Ok, now I’m even thinking about logos and designs. Some of the activities were yearly events so the logos have been long available but maybe we can spice things up a bit. Change some colors and stuff, maybe. I am hoping we can have something that grabs attention but is not over the top. My goal is to try and keep the professional “feel” in them hopefully. I guess we’re going to have to see how everything will pan out then. I’ll keep you posted.
