Greenbelt Chapel in Makati

Oh yes Huling. The old park with the Chapel is now called Greenbelt 1-4. The place is the epitome of fine dining and high-end shopping. The old Ayala Museum is now gone and so are the Shakeys and that German Pub alongside the Ayala Museum. The Museum is now part of the Greenbelt Complex. The old chapel is still there and it has served many-a-shoppers a convenient way to attend worship services while taking a break from their mall-ing.

Fake Diamonds?

It is hard to determine, at least from a far, real diamonds from fake ones. Oh the you would probably drive yourself crazy if you are presented with a small container filled with loose diamonds but I bet you won't be able to figure out which is real diamonds from the fake ones if diamonds and real gems albeit in their colorless forms like sapphire, zircon, beryl, topaz and quartz were mixed in. One sure way to test if the stone is real diamond or not is to check its clarity. If the stone is mounted you should not see not see the bottom of the stone looking from the top. If it's a loose stone, turn it upside down on dot. If you can see the dot,then the stone is not a diamond. Why the heck am I so concerned? Someone attempted to sell me a faker.

Forex Trade

I cannot understand the ups and downs of foreign exchange. No two local banks have the same buying and selling rates. I try checking online the current forex rates and still no two sites have the same conversion, at least regarding the PHP to USD rates. What I still don't get is how forex sites earn money. I read that these sites have platforms wherein you can dabble in forex and ear money on the side. I wonder how it is done. Maybe I should look up on an offer I received about a Forex mentoring program. Who knows? I might get to learn a few things about forex and maybe invest a few bucks on the side. I'll have a check and let you know the results.

Green Triangle

I didn't know that there is a spot of "green" right in the middle of the Makati Commercial and Business District. The not so small green spot is called the Ayala Triangle. The lush green in the concrete jungle of Makati serves a place for harried office commuters to take in a breath of fresh air every now and then. Nice place.

Eat Less, Exercise More

While waiting for Ethan to finish his reading therapy, I saw weight loss article in the magazine I was absentmindedly thumbing through. What interested me was the before and after picture of the author herself. It seemed like she lost 35 pounds in the course of her weight loss program. I was probably 1/3 done with the article so I wasn't able to learn how she did it.

I have read a lot about diet pills and such. I have lately read some apidexin reviews and more often than not, the good reviews are canceled out by the bad reviews. A friend was lamenting the other day that she does not know what to do anymore because she can't seem to lose weight. I said it's quite easy if you really want to - eat less and exercise more.
