Erap Pardoned

After 1 and half month of Erap's guilty verdict from plunder case he is now pardon by President Gloria Arroyo. I guess the entire nation was saddened of this news. It seemed that justice of this country is denied for those who are influencial and powerful.

Do you think that a 70-year old ex-president can do good for our government? Before he is reluctant to accept pardon from PGMA for he insisted that his conscience is clean.He is also claiming to serve our Country the best he can for the rest of his life.

I'm saddened with the very early proclamation of pardon to Erap Estrada for it showed that justice is useless to those who are rich and powerful.How about those who are poor and not influencial? Are they sailing the same canoe?

Nuga Best

Nuga Best it sounds like a Hebrew word.But according to the teacher of the said massage clinic the word Nuga is a Korean word means St. Luke.
Last Saturday, we went to Tagbilaran City, capital of Bohol Philippines because we would like to avail a free massage from Noga Best.Actually this massage session was done for 40 minutes only and they have an electonic devices that will do the massage at our back or at the spines in which the roller of the machine rolls our back and it brought heat.This Noga Best is a Thermo acupressure Therapy.
I found out that a lot of people go there to avail this promotion until December 2007. Those who were a regular clients said that the have cured from their illness.The only thing I don't like is the clients should get the number even at dawn because it is firts come first serve basis.
My husband get the priority number at around 12:30 A.M. and I need to line up just to get mine to and it's difficult on my part for I have a 9-month old son with me.
Instead of getting healed my body condition get worst coz we have to travel after the session for about 51 kilometers going back to our home town.So next time we need to lodge to have the best result of the Nuga Best Session.
My heartfelt gratitude to the Nuga Best promoters for it helps a lot of people in their different sickness.Thank you and more power!

Remembering Teachers

The only recollection I have of my first grade one teacher, Mrs. Felipa Bolos, is taht of kindly and patient teacher.
In Rosariohan Batuan,Bohol I had a grade one teacher who once rescued me from a classmate who, for reasons I don't now remember, stabbed my left arm with his Mongol pencil.I forgot ma'am's teaching but not her act of saving me from further havoc.
I remembered my grade two teacher naming me talkative cause I don"t like her boring way of teaching the lessons.
My grade three teacher has an angelic voice, and face.I like her ways of dealing pupils, she is tender-hearted.
How about my fourth grade teacher? She played favorites and and often have tantrums in our class.She got mad easily.
My fifth grade teacher played an important role of who I am now. She is a woman of words and deeds,she is a good leader too.She taught the lesson well,though I hated music she made me sing, and read notes.
Space prevents me from sharing more recollections about my teachers.But let me conclude with the following thought- Some of the most valuable lessons I learned from my teacers did not come from textbooks they taught from,but from their lives
and how they reacted and interacted situations, circumstances and students like me.Having faults of their own, they were human enough to recognize them.

Can Food Cause Disease?

It can't be denied that much of our money is spent eating out. Our food is processed, refined,concentrated, sugared, salted, and chemically engineered to produce high-calorie, low-nutrient taste sensations.OUr cattles are fattened in feedlots without exercise and with antibiotics and growth enhancers.The result bigger cattle producing steaks containing twice fat as range-fed cattle.And we're paying dearly for these advancements.While we eat to live, what we eat is killing us.

The statics are pretty convincing. One hundred years ago, a small percentage of our people died from coronary heart disease and strokes. Today it is triple or maybe quadruple that figure. That's also true with those who died of cancer.

This isn't nature's way. We weren't meant to die in such numbers from heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, and colon and breast cancer.As people could afford diets rich in animal products, and food industry produce highly processed foods crammed with calories and emptied of nutrition.
The road to better health and longer life is to our gardens and farmlands or our country.

How to Give Encouragement to Someone?

Haay! Sa hirap ba naman ng buhay ngayon....Ayoko na! This is the the exprerssion wwe Filipinos ussually utter whenever we feel burned out or at the brink of giving up.Discouragements and disappointments easily beset us, and many of us find difficult to cope with the fast-paced 21st century.As a result many fall into the deep pit of depression.

So how can we rush to a rescue?How can we show that we reaaly care? Can we offer more than just a shoulder to cry on? We can. But the truth is it is difficult to give especially if you have'nt in his situation.In my own experience to encourage someone is keeping a positive attitude that reflects an image of hope can help ease up apprehensions. However, more important than sympathizing with that person is letting him know taht whatever happens, whatever is the outcome of his decision, God has a plans for him and everything will eventually turn out for his own good. Don't let anybody ruin you God loves you so much.So my dear..... cheer up and move on.

Platelet Donation

Just one month ago my friend's eight-year old son died from dengue.I guess everybody feared this dreadful desease. There is a lowering of the platelets brought by the mosquitoes bite, in this case there is a need for platelets donation. I learned from health and home that there is now an easy way of platelets donation called Plateletpheresis.The sophisticated medical equipment-blood cell separators- can collect enough platelets for transfusion from a single donor. It takes only one to two hours to complete a little bit longer than a regular donation bacause it takes extra time to separate and collect the platelets from the other blood componets.It's simple, very safe process.

I have the heart to share this information for this will help to those people who have special health-care needs.These people may be undergoing serious health problems like leukemia, cancer aplastic anemia and dengue patients. This can mean the difference between life and death. Platelet donation is helping save life.

The Malunggay

Just last night my husband and I watched the show "Kapuso Jessica Soho". It is a Filipino televesion talk show hosted by GMA channel 7.

The malunggay is a kind of leafy vegetable that will grow easily in our backyard.It was discovered in South Korondal Cotabato that this plant has variety of uses. In fact teachers and villagers there used this to solve malnutrition problems to their children.They have to "laswa" or boil the leaves for soup purposes. They also used it as one of the ingredients of their puto or native cake or delicay and the result was great.The leaves of malunggay was used also ni making some tea and capsules for medication for different illness and the price is very much affordable.

Quatations

LOVE is the net where hearts are caught like fish.

To wear your heart on your sleeve isn't a very good plan.You should wear it inside, where it functions best.

There Is No Substitute for More Learning

Let me begin with a quatations:"Once a student always a student," and "once a teacher always a teacher."Dewey said;"education is continous process and education is reconstruction of experiences,"Banking on the aforecited quotations, it is undeniably incumbent upon us to keep on growing and developing in the higher institution of learning. The world crisis that engulfs the universe and gives a dismal picture of world economy is one of the vital factor that should motivate and stimulate everyone of us to upgrade our professional and cultural growth. Competition wise, it is conceived that in the years to come,only those who are equipprd with higher education courses have better chances and priorities to be employed and to be promoted in salary and position.The greatest miracle brought forth is man.We are the rational animals endowed with the special gift of
god, the mental capacity to think and to reason out. We have to make the most of that God-given gift to mankind. Otherwise, we will not live up to His expectation of using our rationality to the best advantage. So keep growing educationally!

Stay In The Sunshine!

I was impressed by the story I read about the life of a little girl who touched my life so much in a very special way.This little girl in London won a prize at a flower show.Her entry was grown in an old cracked teapot and had been placed in the rear attic window of a rundown tenement house.When asked how she managed to raise such a lovely flower in such an unlikely environment, she said she moved it around so it would always be in the sunlight.
As a true believer of Jesus Christ it reminded me of His words in John 15:9 to abide always in his love.We must keep ourselves continually in the warmth o Christ's love by showing our love to others so that peace and love will grow and chaoes be avoided.STAY IN THE SUNSHINE! of God's love.
