Daddy's Little Girl

It starts with a simple test to see if the color will turn blue which means in nine months there will be a special some one new. The time goes by with many changes along the way as her body begins to show the signs of that special person to be born one day. The day has arrived for that most anticipated ultra sound which will give us an idea for a name when the time comes around. The doctor looks into the monitor for little clues then he tells us it’s a girl’s name you need to choose. As I look in the monitor to see the little clues I think to myself how could he possibly know all I see are what I think are fingers and toes.

Ashley Myles is the name we chose, this will be the name of our daughter that we will enjoy as we watch her grow. When she was born and lying next to her mom in that hospital bed the name Ashley Myles kept popping into my head. The day will come when she is all grown and she will move out into the world to be on her own. When that day comes everyone will say that Ashley Myles sure has grown in a great way. I can not try to imagine when that day will come because I will always think of her when she was young. Ashley Myles is her name but to her proud father she will always be Daddy’s Little Girl.

Reasons to Eat Yogurt

Believe this one coz I have always yogurt in my refrigerator for my dessert or snack. Yogurt is pretty kick-ass. Probiotics (that's friendly bacteria) found in yogurt, like Bifidobacterium or Lactobacillis, have been shown to relieve digestive issues (they keep you regular) and the active culture Lactobacillus casei can help fortify your immune system. But that's not all! A daily dose of just 3 ounces can lower your cholesterol, and because calcium-rich diets have been linked to fat loss, may actually help you slim down faster. One cup of organic, fat-free yogurt (plain) has 110 calories, 9 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber.

For all the benefits of this smooth, creamy snack choose yogurts with live active cultures. And to avoid the added sugar (and calories) that comes with flavored yogurt, try adding your own fresh or frozen fruit.

Psst! When possible, go all-natural or organic. Many "light" varieties of popular brands contain High Fructose Corn Syrup - which in recent studies, has been shown to disrupt liver function and increase bad cholesterol.

Be wise! Think of your health coz health is wealth.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

I got this tag from Jean. I grab it coz I'm curious of what's the meaning of my name. So, here we go: What MYLEN Means

You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way! You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in. You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising. You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

Secret to Being Naturally Thin

Have you ever noticed how some people seem to just naturally stay slim while others gain weight just looking at food? A new study may shed some light on why: It all boils down to brain chemistry.

Researchers studied the differences in MRI responses in people who were "naturally" thin and those who struggled with their weight with some interesting results. They found it took longer for the area of the brain called the left amygdala to register "fullness" in overweight people than thinner ones. Or in other words, heavier people had to eat more food and more calories to get the same signal that said "stop." Researchers said the discovery may someday lead to a treatment for overeating.

If you tend to overeat, you can put this news to work in your favor right now by starting your meals with a low-calorie soup or a salad with low-calorie dressing first to help encourage a feeling of fullness without a lot of calories, and then by taking your time when you eat, which will give your brain more time to register satisfaction. Soon others will be wondering how you stay so "naturally" thin, too!

A Piece of Appreciation

Got this tag from Jana...Thanks a lot Jan.

Now it's my time to share the things that I'm grateful of...

I'm so grateful of my PARENTS, for sending me in school, for giving me the education I need…we don't have so much when I was growing up, but I've learned so many things from them that I valued so much until now, the things that shaped me, not to be the best, but a better person. It's true that family life is full of drama and lots of drama, we are one of it, but we stick together as one family, whatever happens to the world we are family and I can't change it and I don't want to change it.

I'm so grateful of all my trusted friends especially the KABERKS friends (inah, serjean, airene and ghing) and my college board mate winggay, they always there to help me back on my feet when I stumbled many times, when I'm on the deepest part of my life, they never let go off their hands on me and never turn their back on me. A friends who always there to listen to me and always there to lend me a helping hand, I thank them so much because their door is always open for me, I consider them as my family, my big sisters and mom.

I'm grateful of my husband for loving me as I am and for taking good care of me, For making me happy each day and making me feel secure in his hands, For giving me such importance and so much attention and so much more to mention.

And most of all, to God...for all the blessings He gave me...I'm so grateful!
