Unconditional Friendship





It is nice to have friends who will love you unconditionally. It is nice to have a friend who will never forget your friendship no matter what. Even time and distance can never stop the bond of our friendship. My best friend never forgets to drop by and stay for few days in our house before and after she will leave outside the country to work abroad.  


The moment she arrived in the country, she stayed for 3 days here with us. She treated my family to the mall and even bought us many things aside from my favorite calico bags and chocolates.  Even in simple things she brought us as long as it came from her heart. I am truly overwhelmed on her real love on our friendship. For how many years she left the country, still she never forgets me and my family. Thank you my dearest best friend for your unconditional love.

Father's Accident


Today, mother is flying back to Iligan City to check on my father’s condition since father had a minor accident yesterday. Father is old enough to have such accident. It is very delicate condition to father if he had an accident considering that he is 82 years old. We are all worried about his condition although he told us that there is nothing for us to worry about because he is fine.

Mother heading to airport without bringing any clothes. We just bought some food for father. Mother brought the shopping bags full of his favorite food. We can’t wait to hear what really the condition of father aside from saying he is fine. Aside from the bruises he got, abrasion of his head made us all worried.  We are not confident in his mere words of feeling fine but all we need is to know the result of the thorough medical check up. Hoping for my father to get well and the result of his medical report is not harmful.

Reunited With Best Friend



It's been a while since my friend went to Singapore to work for more than 2 years.  Another time to be with my best friend since she left the country.  She has been working outside the country for 6 years already and in every 2 years she had to return the country to attend her mother’s death anniversary.  Another time to be with my best friend once again. We had many things we both missed since two years is quiet long time between us. We both spend more talking and sharing of the experiences as usual expected every time she arrived in the country.



 
Since hubby and I acquired a property away from our hometown, she used to have her first stop over here in our place and stayed for how many days before going home to see her family. We are actually expecting her arrival on the 3rd week of October but she managed the date earlier to enjoy much longer her vacation with the family and friends. She bought us lots of chocolates, dress, accessories and tote bag with
Singapore print on.




My friend has never forgotten our hobby of collecting different bags printed with the name of the places we had been to. We both had a collection of bags from the local places we visited within the country before. This time, she shared some of the bags she collected from her overseas travel. A simple collections of bags are one of our biggest interests.

Hyper Acidity

 It has been a while since my mother did not come to our house to visit us. My wife and I were very happy to see her again. I miss my parents since I left in our house to have my own family. I never had the chance to visit my hometown again after I got married. My mother usually visited us and stayed months. Since she arrived the other week, she has been complaining about her abdomen. She felt like always having heartburn, stomach spasm or anything she can’t even describe about her stomach pain.


Early this week, she was complaining about shortness of breathing and hyper acidity.  She cannot even eat properly due to her indescribable stomach pain. My wife and I decided to bring her to the hospital to have a check up. Hyper acidity is really hard to understand especially to elderly people. Before mother arrived here in our house, she had herself a thorough medical check up especially the one she keeps on complaining with her stomach.  The doctor gave her medicine to lower down the acidity but still the pain hasn’t alleviated especially that mother sometimes failed to take the medicine.


So, wife and I agreed that we will bring in another doctor to have a second opinion about her condition. The doctor told us that aside from the hyper acidity she felt nothing is serious it is just she needs rest and prompt taking her medicines. It is the normal feelings of a person when having a hyper acidity. All she needs is rest, eating at the right time, exercise and eat the right food that is less with acid content food. 

Having this hyper acidity, the feeling is indescribable.  Hyper acidity can cause heartburn and other stomach discomfort.   One thing we were afraid  about my mother’s condition was might be worse than we thought like kidney problem, or other stomach problem that is fatal like colon problem. When my father knew about my mother’s condition, he immediately flew here to discuss with us on what to do. We then come up with to try the Colonic Irrigation Melbourne, to check further on her intestine and stomach. It is good that we will have the right and accurate check up to avoid further complications.

Hating Constipation


When I was young I don’t have any problem about constipation.  As I grew up and turned into a young adult, I have started experiencing skipping on my daily routine disposal.   Maybe it is because of my daily water drinking habit and the food I take has lots of changes from the usual. I  don’t really like drinking plenty of water because I don’t like going to the bathroom always in school. 

My mother used to remind me to drink plenty of water or least 8 glasses a day.  As a young teenager that time, I didn’t pay much attention on whatever she told me about.  I am very active and sports enthusiasts person but I am not fond of taking much fluid to replenish the water that comes out from my body. It is not good to be active and you are not taking much water.  It is important to replenish the sweat that comes out from your body by drinking water. This is my biggest mistake that should not be happening again.

Lately, I have suffered from the mistakes I have done from less water intake, eating more of salty food, fatty food, soda and improper of taking medicines. These are some factors that contributed to what I am suffering from my kidney stone.  I have realized that everything I have done even if I am an active person still I have limitations to keep my kidney healthy.  It is not good to drink less water intake everyday as well.

Just right after I felt some pain from my stomach, I have gone to my doctor for a thorough stomach check up. The doctor told me that the results of the tests done was that I am suffering from a mild colon problem. Being an athlete, does also contribute a lot on taking out some toxins found in the body.  The doctor advised me just to take the medicines. Lucky that the kidney problem I had was not severely affecting my body and could be cured by taking medicines and more water intake. Thank God I have recovered fast and have learned my lesson as well. 

I’ve been wondering about what had happened to me before on my constipation and my kidney problem were related.  The pain in my stomach leads me to clueless about the possible kidney problem. You can never tell on a simple pain could be fatal if not treated. Going to see your doctor immediately is important when there is something you feel unusual pain in your body.

A Family Vacations


It has been years that had passed since my family went on vacation. It was a great experienced that truly gave us a wonderful memory altogether as a family. We were having a land trip to have some sight seeing along the way. It was the first vacation that we decided to bring our dog. It was the moment where everybody in the house enjoyed the whole time of seeing different scenic views.

The planning of the vacation was not easy especially that some of the hotels haven't considered pets in their vicinity. Everyone of us decided to bring our dog that is why it took me a while planning the whole trip but it turned out the most enjoying and the most memorable trip ever. Though it was a great responsibility for us for taking a dog in a travel we never thought of our own happiness instead we enjoyed the whole time of travel.

Colon Problem

Colorectal cancer or colon cancer has made its impact in today’s generation.  This problem is increasing its count yearly.  High intake of fat, alcohol, red meat, smoking and lack of exercise are some reasons of this problem.  Although this problem is genetically inherited through family but has been affected to most people around the world especially to those who has poor lifestyle.

One of the famous people I have known suffered from colon cancer is the former Philippine president MarĂ­a Corazon Sumulong "Cory" Cojuangco-Aquino (January 25, 1933 – August 1, 2009).  This health problem should be treated at an early stage or as early as possible to have the chance of being cured.  Thanks to technology today there are many services that can help you detect this kind of problem like colon cleansing or colonic irrigation.

Being Part of Environmental Group

The city has been recently affected by the flood since the rainy season has started. The storm and low pressure have been the other source of massive rain and thunder storm that affecting the whole country.  Recently, typhoon Labuyo has left other places with many damage. The typhoon has gone but the traces of the damages left other people with too much problems.  Many lost their livelihood, root crops and even their houses. There were some places affected by landslides.

The local Government department has already told people to implement a clean living by not throwing their plastic garbage anywhere around in which they found one factor of clogging up the drainage.  Garbage in drainage has been the source of the flood not only in the Luzon part but also in other part if Visayas and Mindanao.  Thanks to other business establishment in mall where they encourage people to use paper bag as replacement of the usual shopping bags to reduce plastic usage.

Expensive Bags



My wife and I agreed most of our decisions to be made must be agreed to both of us. Every plans and problems in the house must be shared within the family. Even with it regards to our finance, wife and I agreed things before buying or spending money. She used to make the budgeting for our food but on every major expenses, we will see things out that both of us will agree upon the expenses.

My wife and I do usually the buying of those inexpensive things but quality wise.  We do usually buy those things that are important to our daily lives and the most needed thing every day.  There are some of our friends that are having some financial problems because of their partners that are having some excessive shopping for personal things like shoes, bags, cosmetics and jewelries. 

Buying something for yourself is not bad as long as you have extra money to spend. Buying expensive shoes, bags and jewelries is not our lifestyle.  My wife’s cousin who uses to work as flight stewardess for a long time and she usually gave her gifts.   There was one time that she gave us expensive perfumes, shoes, accessories and some surprises inside the shopping bags.  My wife was very happy receiving those gifts for she knew that my wife would really appreciate what she gave.  

In our lives, we all have choices to make. Whatever lifestyle you may be choosing, it is good to live life to the fullest. Being happy and contented is a choice not a command. We prefer to live in a simple, happy and contented lifestyle.

Shopaholic



Women nowadays even the younger ones are fond of shopping.  There are some that are suffering from shopaholic disorder and that the person really needs treatment to avoid from getting it worst. This could sometimes lead a person to commit a crime when there is no more money to spend for shopping. Some are being broke for over using their credit cards.

This is really a serious matter that needs attention. Attention in which a person must commit to change for better. Successive shopping without even looking at the possibilities of over dropping your finances may cause you a lot.  Women really love shopping from shoes, tote bags, jewelries and cosmetics.  Only few men that have this disorder unlike the women shop a lot.

Bamboo Speaker


Last week, I saw in one of the TV shows about how can other people be more creative. They can create a piece of art using some indigenous or any natural products like bamboo as a tool of making into an art. I saw how a piece of bamboo trunk created into a phone speaker. This is absolutely natural products and very environmental friendly material which is trending in the market today.

It is a piece of art in which a person can produce into something more useful and environmental friendly.  You can see it very simple but very nice and handy.  A unique idea and creation of a person that opens the mind of many people how this simple bamboo turned out into something big.  Bamboo has been useful in many ways. It can be used as keyboard and any other musical instruments. It can also be seen in some fashion accessories and tote bags design.  Bamboo is one of the most useful tree in the world.

Natural Tool For Fashion




I really appreciate how a person looks more gorgeous on the choice of fashion she/he has in a special event. The event in which a person can glamorously showcase the choice of fashion she/he has. On the choice of dress and accessories, it is important that it will look good on you during the event. I have seen some are using natural products as a tool for making the fabric of the gown. You can see how talented and artistic people that can create a nice gown or borong using plants as a tool of fabric.

I have seen one person who created a gown out of pineapple leaves. It has been used by some famous international designer in Hollywood like Oliver Tolentino. This is a good example of how creative and talented a person can be. Turning plant which we think useless and making it into something as a tool of fabulous fabric for gowns. Another tool for fabric is Abaka which can also be used in gowns, accessories and hats. This fabric can also be used in bags or Enviro bags that are surely Eco friendly. I like the natural products which you can create as a tool for fashion.

Healthy Source of Energy

I really give credit to those who have made great achievements in life. I also admire those people who are sacrificing themselves to help other people without expecting in return. I salute those types of people whose heart are genuine in helping others. In other hand, some politicians are initiating to help others, but those deeds are in exchange to their popularity and recognitions to the society.

I have read some articles about some people sacrificing themselves, time, efforts and finances just to help others without expecting return. One of them is Edward Norton, who has done his part in sharing the low income family in Los Angeles by installing the solar panels. Solar panels are the best alternative source of energy in a household without worrying on monthly electric bill obligations. It can supply enough energy to a household’s energy needs.

Thanks to BP’s Solar Neighbors program much family benefit of this organization. On the other hand Robert Redford boarded members of group Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) putting a campaign against climate change and promoting solar panels since 1970s. It is good that we will support for greener living and environmental friendly products program they were initiating. Support the Eco friendly product, green bag or Enviro bags to help keep our environment healthy to live in with without using any plastic bags.

Pollution

Last night, hubby and I were watching an informative movie where some reporters do some researches and gathering any actual situation of many individuals in a certain topic. The documentary episode of reporter’s notebook was another great topic. The show was very informative especially it took up more on the reality of how some low class people survive their livelihood in spite the fact of poverty.

The topic last night was so unacceptable practice done by some people. Irresponsible acts of some individuals can lead to destroy our environment. It was a topic that surely opens the eyes of the people involved and the viewers about how important to keep our environment clean.

The topic last night was a kind of taboo. The people in a certain community throw plastic with their faces into the ocean. Making the ocean as their bathroom and garbage landfill is a big issue wherein many ocean creatures will die. Sad to hear that even many places suffer with too much flooding still many are throwing their garbage into the ocean. It is good to have campaigned about the importance of saving our environment and to educate how important our part to make the campaign to be realized.

Check this out:

Famous

Have you tried of dreaming yourself to become famous all over the world someday? Gaining such name is not possible without achieving something that would help you become famous. You could be known in the field of sports, business or in entertainment. Obtaining such famous name needs a lot of effort, connections and publishing.

There are people who were born famous because of their family’s achievements.  But there are some who became famous because of their talent which they showcase through social media. One famous social media icon and a singer like Psy with his gangnam style song.  He achieves his fame because of his song gangnam style which he uploaded in Youtube.  Psy is one example of people who are not born famous but gained fame after people like his music and dance moves.

Everywhere they go paparazzi are following them to take pictures and know what their latest is. Reporters are not taking their eye off to celebrities just to find out something about the celebrity that can be used as a scoop of their news. Some are taking what the certain celebrity is wearing, their fashion style, the kind of tote bags they use while having some shopping.

This is the life of a celebrity.  A life they think that they don’t have the freedom to hide their personal whereabouts. A life without a freedom like a normal person and with that situation a celebrity sometimes wishes to have a normal life.  A normal life having no one following them and can go and do whatever they want.
