Actually holy week start two days ago.lolz. But tomorrow will be the start of a not-so-fun vacation, why? they’re won’t be no regular tv shows shown. Unless you have cable connection in your house you’ll be saved. And if ever you have an internet connection you’ll in salvation.hahaha

Holy week is the time for us to recall and rebirth.  In this time we are given a chance to recall  how Christ had suffered, sacrifices and died for our salvation. It was not only Christ’s suffering we need to recall but Virgin Mary’s Sacrifices and above all How God the Father gave his only son to us.

Neighbors helping Neighbors

Working with neighbors can save lives and property. Meet with your neighbors to plan how the neighborhood could work together after a disaster until help arrives. if you’re a member of a neighborhood organization, such as a home association or crime watch group, introduce disaster preparedness as a new activity. Know your neighbors’ special skills (ei, medical, technical) and consider how you could help neighbors who have special needs, such as disabled and elderly persons. Make plans for child care in case parents can’t get home.

I still believe in the saying that ” No Man’s is an Island” we can never lived alone we still need someone on our side. Just like a song goes…”walang sino man ang nabubuhay para sa sarili lamang… Tayong lahat ay may panananagutan sa isa’t isa“. And for me, we are not created by God just to live by ourselves we have our own purpose in life, in our life and with other’s lives.

THE IMPORTANCE OF CALCIUM CARBONATE

Osteoporosis is a silent disease, slow and gradual. It stealthily makes bones weak, brittle, and prone to fracture. Osteoporosis afflicts not only the elderly. It can strike very early on, with your diet and lifestyle possibly putting you at risk. You may be severely losing bone minerals density (BMD) without realizing it. Women are more prone to osteoporosis. Women are more prone to osteoporosis.

The good news is that this silent disease is preventable and treatable. All you need is the right amount of calcium in your system. But even a healthy, balanced diet with high calcium content may not be enough.

Calcium Carbonate gives you what you need to strengthen your bones. With 500mg of elemental calcium is an easy-to-swallow soft gel capsule, such as calci-aid., provides the calcium needed to effectively reduce bone loss.

It takes more than just fashion to make you look and feel good. Without proper posture and strong bones, a great dress is useless. Wear that fabulous outfit and exude confidence from within.

Neckwear sales to young men have jumped … and now yummy yuppies are uding ties to express themselves. Find out what their ties are saying.

Preppy. If hoe’s wearing traditional stripes, he was likely rocking ties before it became a trend. The conservative pattern suggests he’s just as reserved in life.

Skinny and Textured. Since these ties are cut from a different cloth (this is hot now) and half the width of regular ones, he wants to stand out from the pack.

Bold pattern. Rich paisley and graphic prints are the domain of high end designers. This guy is showing that he’s willing to drop major coin on little details,

Motifs. Martini glasses, golf balls – if a man’s ties aren’t serious neither are he. Putting his hobbies on display sends a laid-back, devil-may-car

GOING GREEN- A LID AT A TIME

Posted by jhanok on 03/17/2010 None comments

Save the earth! Take up these 4 green habits and your children ( and grandchildren) are sure to inherit an earth that’s still healthy and pulsing with life.

If everyone starts pitching in, our Earth will be in a much better state ten, twenty years down the road. But if everyone just keeps thinking and believing that saving the Earth is only up to those few green heroes, then indeed, Earth will literally be heading down the drain. Here are some simple things you can start today – and they’ll surely go a long way!

Bag it
For your weekly grocery trips or emergency stops, instead of asking the grocers to place your groceries in their logolized PLASTIC shopping bags whip out your own recyclable, earth-friendly, and reusable shopping bag. These eco-friendly bags may not be the cheapest, but their returns are priceless – so better grab a bag now!
Close it
Did you know that keeping the water running wastes 132 gallons a month (think 132 ice cream tubs lying around your house) and roughly 1.585 gallons a year? Even though it takes a little effort to close that tap, it’s well worth it, because you’ll be doing our Earth’s water supply a huge favor.

Walk it
Don’t leave carbon footprints; instead leave your footprints by simply walking! Why take the car when your appointment is only a couple of blocks away? Instead of using up gas for those spur-of-the-moment trips to a convenience store, why not schedule your trips? Take the bike or walk. It will be good for the Earth, your heart, and your lungs.

Recycle it
If we actually put our minds to it, getting into the recycling habit will take one mega-load off Earth’s back! One year’s worth of recycled newspapers can power an entire 3 bedroom house. One recycled glass bottle can power your computer for 25 minutes! Have office papers laying around, gathering dust? Each ton of that saves up to 380 gallons of oil! Now that’s good news to combat the soaring gas prices!

ELEVATE YOUR MIND

Discover the full potential of the sexiest muscle in your body. (a.k.a. the brain) and become the fun, fearless and “uber” smart female that you truly are.

For the umpteenth time, you’re spacing out. Your mind wanders while your boss is briefing you about your next project. When you stare at an Excel sheet, you only see a nonsensical assortment of zigzagging lines and numbers. You can’t remember what your gal pal gushed about last night or what you’re supposed to write down on your planner. Don’t worry. Your brain isn’t undergoing a premature degeneration; it’s just that your mind is on sabaw mode and is in the need of a quick fix.

Back when you were still studying you brain was working non-stop, such that there was hardly any mental relapse to be worried about. But then, you graduated, scored a stable job, and fell into a ritualistic grind. Since then, you’ve grown complacent and haven’t seen the need to flex your mental muscles any harder. In her book Super Brain: 101 Easy Way to A More Agile Mind, author Carol Vorderman confirms this: “ after formal education and work-related training, the brain is left to [move] on and is largely ignored”

What’s the root of your mental relapse? Well, it practically boils down to non-exercise. “Too many people take the ability to think for granted. They assume, perhaps, that thinking is something that just happens, they give no time [to] practice it,” says Harry Lorayne, an expert on mind and memory training and author of Secret of mind power. The results? Lackluster mental skills, disrupted concentration, and memory gap.

“I’m getting old na kasi” is not even an excuse for the constant mind meltdown. “Your Brain remains highly adaptable, able to acquire new skills and information well into old age. So, you can increase your knowledge, intelligence and abilities at any stage in life,” Vorderman asserts. What’s a cosmo girl got to do then? Much like how you religiously work out to achieve to toned body, you need mental exercise to sport the most nimble mind. Work out those brain cells and surprise yourself with hoe powerful the brain – you brain – really is.

PREVENTING A PREGNANCY MISHAP

Posted by jhanok on 03/15/2010 None comments

Girl meets boy…
Girl likes boy…
Girl goes out with boy…
Girl Spends night with boy…
Girl winds up with an unplanned pregnancy.

Sounds familiar? Sadly, this scenario has been played out one too many times. Studies have shown that the number of unplanned pregnancies has steadily risen in recent years. Women accidentally conceiving, caught in a difficult situation, faced with tough decisions. It may be that she isn’t ready nor prepared to be a mom yet, whether mentally, financially, or emotionally. Or she might be ready, but her partner isn’t. It may also be that it was a casual one-night-stand and a baby would not fit anywhere in the grand scheme of things. Truth is, it may be a lot of things.

The end game, however, is one and the same. She winds up with a lot of incredibly hard, life-altering decision to make. The biggest of which is, should she keep the baby? Go through with the pregnancy? A life is at stake, so many futures on the line.

And as she struggles with these choices, she can’t help but think. How the heck did I end up in this mess? Why is this happening?

The answer, more than not, is simple. The woman and her partner failed to practice safe sex. No form of contraceptive was used. No condom, pill, or any kind of protection. And unprotected sex increases the chances of contraception to staggering heights.

Yes, contraceptives are not 100% effective. But if used correctly, and consistently, the effectively rate still comes pretty close. And it’s a million times safer than not using any protection at all.

And sure, using condom may take a little more effort from both you and your partner. But a little effort goes a long way. Take the initiative and buy condoms on your own. Forget the unreliable practice of letting your partner supply his own stash of protection. Take the matter into your own hands – when you’re in the mood, you better be good. If you’re not prepared, then delay sex. Because the reality is, all it takes is one careless counter, and everything will change. Is that really a risk worth taking?

Embrace your sexuality. Enjoy life, experience life and everything it has to offer. Just remember to be safe. Live life to the fullest. And with utmost care. Never get into a situation unprepared and unprotected. That little sensibility will go a long way into ensuring you have a good future ahead. And a baby, a family of your own, at the right time in your life. Not a single second earlier.
