Blogging is fun indeed, and pretty addictive. I see followers, it makes my heart soar. My blog being revisited, my heart grows bigger.
BUT it’s not as simple as that! One needs to put notable posts to get traffic, and honesty to get more friends. There is a wide choice for one to search for a great blog, that is why YOUR’S needs to matter. Every page must be interesting. And it is not just about the site but about the YOUness of it. But yes, notability matters! The theme must be attention getter, the content must be interesting, and the exchange of visits is an effort done due to friendship.
Remember always to respect each bloggers rights, in so saying, each web sites copyright as well.
Be careful of doing these stretching’s, for you might be doing more harm than good.
Yes, it is suppose to make you more flexible, have better balance due to the increased range of motion of your joints, improves blood circulation and relieves stress in muscles. But are you doing it the right way?
I remember doing this when I was in high school before our cheer practices. We cheer dancers do the bend over’s and the likes, without warm up!
Yes, you need to do warm up ~ aerobic exercises, to loosen the muscles before you go into the exercise proper. Because without it you still have a tight muscle that might get you injured. You need to make the muscles more elastic to avoid tear, and to prepare it for greater endurance. And during warm up, carbohydrates and fatty acids are made available for energy production.
You can have aerobic exercises like brisk walking, jogging, ballroom dancing, cycling. Wikipedia defines it as “an exercise that involves or improves oxygen consumption by the body”. It is a continuous activity, long duration, of low intensity.
These aerobic exercises actually have many greater advantages than just to loosen your muscles for the stretching. It is a cardiovascular exercise that will strengthen your heart muscles thus giving you a healthier heart. It also is a form of exercise and so makes you lose calories, helping you achieve your desired body weight.

Being a daughter to my parents, it is heartwarming to be the recipient of their praises. To see their joy for an achievement I get gives me as much joy.
Now, being a parent myself, I can personally say that the days and effort of teaching is truly worthwhile upon seeing your daughter’s every single success. And more so now than before do I appreciate the love and care my parents showered over me because I feel the same need from my own child.
It isn’t easy being a parent, as compared to being a child to our parents. But most of the time, we don’t see that until we are a parent ourselves. Let it not be too late! That while our parents are still being given time for us to reciprocate that love given us, let us use that time and give them our love. Show them the honor and respect they deserve. Bring them the joy of having us by being the good son and daughter they hoped us to be…just as our Lord God hoped to see us, His children.
Hyperacidity, gastritis, ulcers…these pains can be somehow alleviated by avoiding intake of caffeine, milk (dairy products) and carbonated drinks, for these induces acid production that is most harmful to gastric mucosa.
It is then advisable that coffee addicts shift to decaffeinated ones if cannot be avoided totally. I personally was able to shift years ago though started with the available brewed decaf until finally tolerated the instant decaf. Carbonated drink is a total no-no to all you who have the above mentioned irregularities. Some can tolerate juices, just be sure to choose bland non-acidic flavors, and fresh juices more preferable than processed. Milk turns to lactic acid thus milk and milk products are also a concern. Luckily, there are substitutes that can be used like yogurts, soya, and creamers, artificial discoveries. Calcium can then be taken from other sources (vegetables and supplements).
As always, it is better to go on PREVENTION THAN CURE! I’m pretty sure you will agree with me here. Thus, moderation is the key to healthy individuals to avoid onset of diseases that is nice to read about but never to have!

We have been raised to eat together as one family, and seeing other families not doing the same makes me pity them for the strong hold of each other that they have been missing. The bond created during this short period is not enough but will suffice in guiding the children than none at all. During this time, exchange of whereabouts and advices are being passed from parents, children and siblings, both for learning and simply enjoying the company of one another.
Remember that your children will grow along with your guiding words and that they will never depart from them. So start early while they were mere vines, easy to trim, cut and guide through its growth than when they are already sturdy trees that have already built branches which are nearly unbendable and unbreakable.
“I am returning to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God”? (John 20:17)
This HAS always been a confusion to me, on how our Lord Jesus Christ stresses out of this higher being that He believes in, that He will go to…or simply another existence that is NOT Him. That when I was raised to believe that Jesus and that God He talks about in third person all the time is one and the same, it left me asking “How can that be?” This is one of the questions I asked the elders and those that have the authority to answer me that time, BUT it all ends up with them telling me to “just believe because it is something so powerful for mankind to comprehend”. Is that so? But God Himself said that EVERYTHING is written in His book: the Bible.
How can our Lord Jesus (and His apostles) keep telling us and writing down that Jesus and God is NOT one and the same, and man saying otherwise? If Jesus talks to the Father saying “Now this is eternal life: that they may know You, the One True God, and Jesus whom you have sent” (John 17:3), will we contradict Him by saying that there is Three and not One? That the “knowledge of truth” that Apostle Timothy tells in the “Instructions on Worship” is NOT precise?
“For there is ONE God and ONE Mediator between God and men, the MAN Christ Jesus” (1 Tim. 2:5)
That the bible to which God himself said to be complete and suffice forgot to mention that there is another God beside the One True God, our Father? That God’s very 1st Commandment of having “No other God’s before me” is NOT as it is, and that He was not able to specifically say…no other God’s before me and my other persona’s?

We all believe that our Lord Jesus Christ was sent to save us, but not all believe His EVERY word (I truly wonder why?!). And NOT believing in His words connotes NOT believing in God’s words because so many time did Jesus said that it is not Him but that of who sent Him. Just as in this verse, “For I gave them the words You gave me” (John 17:8) when He was once praying to the Almighty God.
We are not kids anymore to just take in what our parents and elders say. We have the ablity to rationalize and to decide what is right and wrong. BUT WE CANNOT DO SO UNTIL WE HAVE THE FACTS LAID DOWN BEFORE US. That in every comparison there is the existing truth and falsehood; there is the right and the wrong; there is the “what was led for us to believe” and “what we decide to believe”. Stand tall and look into your left, into your right…then decide which path to take.
LIKE IN THIS INSTANCE ~ There is only ONE TRUE GOD
and that is our Almighty Father!
And there is the ONE MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MAN
and that is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
This is the TRUTH from the very words of God!

LOOK…for you might be missing the ONLY right way.

Water covers 71% of earth, and the human body is 55% to 78% water depending on body size.
Therefore, water is something that we cannot live without! But we need it most for hydration. 8-10 glasses of water is needed, if you can exclude in it the other forms like juices and soups the better. This will avoid constipation and infections (urinary tract infections); plus so many benefits which includes healthier skin, shinier hair, moisture rich skin, etc.
Water intake is a must…and we have to drink a glass even before we feel the thirst, because thirst is the first sign of dehydration.

It is never too hard to give a nice word because it feels a lot nicer to know that you made someone happy with it. But of course, it’s different when you say them from the heart or just so you can get something out of saying it…just as it is when you say something that is far from nice; when you blurt out something to intentionally hurt someone, or to embarrass purposely.
Anyone feeling positive with such deed have a black heart. That something inside is eating you up until it consumes you all reflecting outside, in your daily living and even in your external façade. Be reminded that someone up there see’s you no matter where or what name you hide to.
It’s pitiful to hear such tongue lashings, or read such nasty words. The person where it is coming from is most pitiful since it connotes one thing, that that person is either lacking attention, have not been taught good manners probably with parents not caring or having none as well, or simply too evil to enjoy the discomfort of others.
That is why NICE WORDS always represents NICE INDIVIDUALS. They are those that are selfless, given with a pure heart, at peace with their life and who they are, full of love from love ones and friends that they obviously have because that person gained it with the nature that she or he is.
So, don’t be frugal with NICETIES. And do away with tainted words.
One of the old customs that I have seen to be practical is the writing down of the Last Will and Testament. It need not be legalized by lawyers as was the tradition if it will be too much for you, but by just keeping safe a letter that is dated and signed by you that will have to be opened at the event of your demise. There written will be the monetary or whatever treasure that you have and their passwords and appropriate information for the benefactor to know.
Some sees it unacceptable, saying you are the one hurrying to end your life. Think about it, no one knows when our time is to come. It may be tomorrow or decades yet. One thing you will know though, is that what you have worked for will somehow be given to your love ones. That in your small way you have shown them that you care enough to think way ahead of time for them.
So wait no more, just write them down, what harm will it do? REMEMBER though to keep it real safe. It might go to the wrong hands!
“Who am I to suggest, I am but a secretary”. ”I cannot beat somebody as popular as that”.
These are common bits and pieces of things I hear from people who do not believe in what they can do, or of who they are in the society. Is it insecurity? cowardice? In these instances that I remember “David and Goliath”. The little David, not even a man yet, versus the giant warrior Goliath. A bible story that have possibly been written to push us up when we are on the losing battle with our self-worth. For us to be David and believe that we can do something other bigger man cannot because we have a God. That Goliath may be way out of our league, but his size is small in comparison to our faith. And that we will be guided as to what best to do like David was guided of using a sling-shot not the ax or blade that will be far too small as to Goliath’s gigantic one.
NOTHING is greater than God’s power. Believe and live pleasing Him, He will never let you down.
Who does not love pizza! I do not know a single person who does not eat pizza...even my 4 year old loves it. BUT O simply cannot buy it all the time, and so have bought bits and pieces of ingredients to make a home-made pizza in a bread.
Any plain bread will do, my little girl loves the Filipino "pan de sal" more than any other, so I do the pizza in a pan de sal. I sauteed the mixture if I have time, or if not, buy the Del Monte Pizza Sauce and just add either slices of ham or hotdog, grated cheese on top and put it in a toaster.
A filling and colorful snack for your little ones! That's what you need if you have kids at home, imagination, less time consuming and healthy food. This one does have calcium. If you will learn to vary your prepared food to serve, you will meet their nutrient requirement. It may not be daily since they do not eat as much as adults do, but be sure to meet them all in at least 3 days. And remember to give them treats once in a while...like this PIZZA PAN DE SAL!
For me that's the early dawn, when you see the sky turning orange as the sun starts to peek into the horizon. That same moment that the world is starting to stir to wakefulness; the birds waking up as it tweets one at a time, the rooster cocks the neighborhood awake, the people getting ready for another day ahead.
I love the smell of the morning air, with the dew drops still present in the window panes. The sound of traffic starting to buzz as engines starts rolling, the honking of the pandesal and newspaper being delivered...everything seems to be up and about in no time.
I LOVE IT because it reminds me of God's creation. The beauty of what he created for man to enjoy. Every little thing contributing to the cycle of life, of ecology. Every single minute is worth seeing...until it all calms down to rest for a long day ahead on the morrow.

I have heard this for a number of times while I was doing patient counselling, the question of "is really having a beer a day, good for the heart?"
...and I always answer with "if you are not a beer drinker, why start now?" because it is true that we should not go with what's the latest fad, or what so and so said. In giving a diet guide I do not pressure someone into following a STRICT list of what he can eat and what he cannot eat. It is a partnership between the health instructor and the patient. We go into adjustment according to your daily meal plan so you will not have a hard time following it. And doing something as big a leap as drinking beer just so you will do what your friend is doing is not necessary.
Another is facing reality that beer is not the only thing to have to have a good heart. There are a lot of factors to see to, and beer can be ruled out of it. For one, beer is not always spiritually (as is written in the bible regarding drunkenness) and socially acceptable. Another is, it is addictive and having it daily may lead to two, then three, then to who know's how much. It also have an alcohol content that needed to be measured especially if one have a heart irregularity. Those with high sugar levels and triglycerides should not take even a bottle. Same goes with red wine!
Remember, in every rule there is an exemption!
Maybe you have heard of the past months news of areas being flooded due to heavy rainfall, and maybe you are even one of the many who have waded through the muddy water of the flood. It has alarmed me to see in the news of kids playing in those waters, swimming and wading without them knowing how dangerous it is to be exposed to such water. Adults probably are aware of the warning but they had no choice when they were stranded and stuck with no food and water.
LEPTOSIPROSIS is amongst the many concerns when it comes to flood. According to Medline Plus, it is “is a rare, severe, and contagious bacterial infection” caused by Leptospira bacteria that is found in an infected water in warmer climates. Animal urine is the said transmitter. Symptoms are flu-like thus some misdiagnose it as such, and aggravates to serious problem before it be concluded to be Leptospirosis, reason for the mortality rate to increase. Less common symptoms like skin rash, conjunctivitis, and enlarged lymph node should therefore be observed
In conclusion, I remind you to avoid flood water if possible and to right away wash with soap and water if exposed; or to disinfect right away.
Factors like too much heat either due to being under direct sunlight or wearing a hat all the time, over exposure to hair treatments, vitamin and mineral insufficiency, health concerns and hereditary are the most commonly heard reasons for hair loss. Though it is said to be more pronounced in the male species, the weaker sex are being invaded with this problem as well. And
hair regrowth is the answer.
The hair being our crowning glory is of great importance and so should not be put to last among our priorities in being taken care of. We should not actually wait to start losing them, that any problem concerning with it should be dealt with in the utmost possible time. Dandruff is a concern, graying hair is another and those other common hair problem that needs treatment is a concern. In cases of late stages, fret no more, because there are different management to choose from already. One can have surgical or non-surgical solution; you can even
buy finasteride online.We have to know the information in avoiding hair problems and for those in it already, to know the treatments and therapies available. It will also help to hear from others as to their personal experience and how they managed a parallel problem. Reading about them may give us the key to having a
hair regrowth.
If years ago I am content and I am okay with my life...NOW I can say that I found peace and that I finally am home.
BECAUSE there is no greater love than being loved by our God, and I feel that powerful embrace through the Church Administration that God Himself have chosen.
I have the love and the strength that I need to go on with this chaotic world we live in. I am being guided to the right path at all times, was taken away from the misguided truth that our forefathers have passed on to us and is NOW stronger in my belief that The Church of Christ (Iglesia Ni Cristo), the Body of Jesus to which He is the Head, is the ONLY KEY to Salvation.
If only YOU will not be so much of a coward TO AT LEAST HEAR AND LISTEN before you turn your back....
or maybe if you believe that I am mistaken, save me and tell me what it is that is wrong (but learn first what I know that isn't so!)
After being hit by a calamity, more specifically of a typhoon, a country loses lots of crops. And in so saying, stocks and commodities are affected that the people suffers from insufficiency in either their personal use or in their food business. And vegetable being the healthiest food there is for me, I just got to have a way of being stocked all the time.
Online groceries are heaven sent at a time like this. With various products at a fair flat rate shipping price of $4.99, with an incentive of it being free on orders over $75.00. They cater to buyers from all over the world and guaranteed “fast shipping!”
It is an added bonus for the likes of me who love new dishes to be provided with cooking videos that
online groceries sells, including that of the variety of sauces and seasoning use.
Online groceries being the largest ethnic super market gives you a wider range of choice when it comes to “hard to find” products.
These are all way too much, don’t you think? But no, for them it is not enough pampering, because you can even get hold of free gifts with some purchases…so why not try
online groceries yourself, and see how fast and convenient it is even if your country is in the best of shapes.
It is not only God's commandment to "love thy neighbor" that makes me respect this term BROTHERHOOD. I have personally experienced the advantage of it in my life.
Loving others makes my heart go bigger. Selflessness is the key to this, and the return of that love is more worthwhile than keeping that love all to yourself. It is always nice to see other people smile because of you. It is more than a wonderful feeling to be able to extend a helping hand to those who are not as fortunately gifted with something that you have. I believe that we are all gifted with different blessings, and sharing them with one another is the only way to make use of all that gift.
Caring is the living proof of God being within us. That we are doing what He wanted to do all the time. Give care freely and not withholding something back until you get something in return.
What we have right now is a temporary place to "practice" what we are expected to do in that "forever" we are hoping to reach. There are trials right now as a test to the freedom that we will be given next. And only the deserving ones are to gain entrance to that forever. And the deserving ones are the ones who follow His commandments...and those that are freely giving! Completely unselfish!
In starting a family, we always put into consideration the nest to the family members. Priority to a safe haven where the love will grow within, and that is the family house. But at the rate wherein living is becoming more and more difficult, we need help with that…and that’s where
Real Property Management comes in. Yes, it is an ultimate goal to own a house of your own but we can start of by renting a place as we save for that dream house. Or we even have a choice of targeting rent-to-own places, may it be a house, a condominium or the whole building.
Another is when we manage properties that we don’t actually live in. We buy lands and lease them, we put up apartments and have them rented…this is not an easy thing to do, but
Real Property Management will make it easy for us. We can actually earn while we watch.
Diet + Exercise = Healthy Body
This has always been my mathematical formula to achieving good health. And with this comes measurement. Calories were measured one way or the other, may it be in cups or by approximate daily intake. Kilograms or pounds points to body weight, and specific goal is to be achieved if motivated by the weighing scale. Same goes with our 36-24-36 vital statistics, or somehow near it or alike to its shape.
What is painful to see is our blood chemistry results that does not go with the normal mmoL; which in turn equates to the symbol Rx for the instructions of procedures or intake of medicines from our very caring MD’s.
Thus it all comes back to the formula and our need to derive to that answer we hope to get = GOOD HEALTH.
I have heard my grandparents telling me years ago that they sleep at midnight and get up at 4am. I told them I will be pretty wobbly with that amount of sleep…I need 8 hours plus an afternoon nap. My folks now are getting lesser and lesser sleep as well, to the point of them going back to bed but never getting any more sleep the way they do before.
And honestly, I, myself, do not get to sleep as much as I do before! Oh geez…a bad sign! Yeah, because it is proven that a person gets fewer sleep hours as they grow in years. Not because they need less sleep, but because they have more fragile sleep. They get disturbed easily, may it be with noise or light. And at this stage they have greater disorders and diseases that may contribute to not achieving restful sleep than young ones have. Still, sleeping disorders can be treated and can be affecting any age group…and so again, it is best to seek for doctor’s advice for possible sleep problem.
Time and again, I share with you thoughts on God’s love. There were even times that I reveal His very presence in my life. Yes, He is ever present because He is the center of my life. That in every waking moment, in every little thing I do, in every crooked road or undisturbed path I cross, in whatever time...I turn to look for Him.
And each time I THANK GOD for not giving up on me. For continuously guiding me to the right path with reminders and pokes that I may be needing, for showing me the way to Him. And this He did yet again just a few minutes ago!
He told me of something I am not fully aware of through someone. He knows how I love blogging, and He knows I am not only here for the purpose of living but also to reach out to others of His invitation to know Him. And He knows that I am being misled with some knowledge I lack with regards to His commandments…and so shouted out loud that I should not post in my blogs posts about certain topics that may lead others to think of something that should not.
SEE…He is putting me right back on track. He loves me too much to lose me. He is a parent who shapes a child to perfection, a teacher to assure His student’s straight A’s, and a friend wanting to be there at all times.
It's so nice to be loved unconditionally, but it's more fulfilling to return that love as well.
Embarrassing it may seem, I am having this problem that I know to be problem of others as well. People who own a PC (who doesn’t these days?!) and is as busy as I am to sort all files that I have been downloading, uploading, copying…or simply storing in my memory. Problem with sorting and re-organizing my files that may be duplicated as I save them in my D drive whenever I have to have my pc reformatted, not knowing anymore if I had it stored before and where. Yeah, yeah I know I should have deleted the others right away…but this is a family PC and they’re not all my files.
And so, early this morning I was trying to manually look into my files and delete any duplicates THAT I CAN FIND. But after a few minutes, I believe that it’s taking too much of my “supposed” blogging time, and so discontinued.
I am so lucky to come across this
Outlook duplicate remover which I never thought possible, though it crossed my mind sometime during my organizing but did not begin to search for it. It is even FREE to download this life saving “outlook duplicate remover, outlook delete duplicate, outlook duplicate finder, outlook find duplicates”.
What say you about this? Isn’t it mighty nice of the founder to think about me and my family?!
Fretful? Worried? Uneasy? Go to this immediate cure I have been going to ever since, the Church. This is the best place that gives what every person search for; that inner peace and tranquility we are all seeking for, the feeling of not being alone, the presence of calmness and solitude the outside world lack.
I trust this is as our God want it to be, for us to need Him, for us to search for Him. He has prophesized for the world to go into decay as the world neared its end, and it is indeed growing moldier by the minute. The evilness of man intensifies to unbelievable heights, and no escape route will take us to freedom from these horrible monsters of a man EXCEPT the temporary isolation of the Church and the everlasting peace in the arms of our Savior Jesus Christ.
Very first reaction one would get with this term is DENIAL.
Acceptance to this fact is necessary to implement treatment. But this being something commonly used by almost every one in the whole wide world in the form of coffee, cola and chocolates, makes as perceive it to be not as grave as alcohol, cocaine, methamphetamine, opioids, or nicotine addiction. Consuming caffeine seems harmless enough to be concerned about, and it being widely accepted by the general public makes it all the more easy to get hooked to. Be informed though that “caffeine is associated to a number of physical and psychological syndromes similar to other drugs” as was stated in myaddiction.com who also calls caffeine as the widest used psychoactive drug in the world.
Although, addiction to caffeine differs in the amount of consumption, that some just need to put off the craving with a sip or two or some needing buckets of it. Lucky you to be amongst the first set of addicts than the second since it only will be psychologically affecting and not physiologic which may cause a health problem.
