7 Don'ts After Meal

2008-08-19T18:01:00.000+08:00

1. Don't smoke- Experiment from experts proves that smoking a cigarette after meal is comparable to smoking 10 cigarettes (chances of cancer is higher).

2. Don't eat fruits immediately - Immediately eating fruits after meals will cause stomach to be bloated with air. Therefore take fruit 1-2 hr after meal or 1hr before meal.

3. Don't drink tea - Because tea leaves contain a high content of acid. This substance will cause the Protein content in the food we consume to be hardened thus difficult to digest.

4. Don't loosen your belt - Loosening the belt after a meal will easily cause the intestine to be twisted & blocked.

5. Don't bathe - Bathing will cause the increase of blood flow to the hands, legs & body thus the amount of blood around the stomach will therefore decrease. This will weaken the digestive system in our stomach.

6. Don't sleep immediately - The food we intake will not be able to digest properly. Thus will lead to gastric & infection in our intestine.

7. Don't walk about - People always say that after a meal walk a hundred steps and you will live till 99. In actual fact this is not true. Walking will cause the digestive system to be unable to absorb the nutrition from the food we intake.

This story tells us something about LOVE & LIFE

2008-08-01T21:28:00.000+08:00

My husband is S/W Engineer by profession, I love him for his steady nature and I love the warm feeling when I lean against his broad shoulders.

Two years of courtship and now, five years into marriage, I would have to admit, that I am getting tired of it. The reasons of me loving him before, has now transformed into the cause of all my restlessness.

I am a sentimental woman and extremely sensitive when it comes to a relationship and my feelings. I yearn for the romantic moments, like a little girl yearning for candy. My husband is my complete opposite; his lack of sensitivity, and the inability of bringing romantic moments into our marriage has disheartened me about LOVE.

One day, I finally decided to tell him my decision, that I wanted a divorce.

"Why?" he asked, shocked.

"I am tired. There are no reasons for everything in the world!" I answered.

He kept silent the whole night, seemingly in deep thought. My feeling of disappointment only increased. Here was a man who was not able to even express his predicament, so what else could I expect from him?

And finally he asked me: "What can I do to change your mind?"

Somebody said it right... It's hard to change a person's personality, and I guess, I have started losing faith in him.

Looking deep into his eyes I slowly answered: "Here is the question. If you can answer and convince my heart, I will change my mind.

Let's say, I want a flower located on the face of a mountain cliff, and we both are sure that picking the flower will cause your death. Will you do it for me?"

He said: "I will give you your answer tomorrow...." My hopes just sank by listening to his response.

I woke up the next morning to find him gone, and saw a piece of paper with his scratchy handwriting underneath a milk glass, on the dining table near the front door, that goes....

My dear, "I would not pick that flower for you, but....please allow me to explain the reasons further.....

This first line was already breaking my heart. I continued reading.

"When you use the computer you always mess up the Software programs, and you cry in front of the screen. I have to save my fingers so that I can help to restore the programs.

You always leave the house keys behind, thus I have to save my legs to rush home to open the door for you.

You love traveling but always lose your way in a new city. I have to save my eyes to show you the way.

You always have the cramps whenever your "good friend" approaches every month. I have to save my palms so that I can calm the cramps in your tummy.
You like to stay indoors, and I worry that you will be infected by infantile autism. I have to save my mouth to tell you jokes and stories to cure your boredom.

You always stare at the computer, and that will do nothing good for your eyes. I have to save my eyes so that when we grow old, I can help to clip your nails and help to remove those annoying white hairs. So I can also hold your hand while strolling down the beach, as you enjoy the sunshine and the beautiful sand...and tell you the colour of flowers, just like the colour of the glow on your young face...

Thus, my dear, unless I am sure that there is someone who loves you more than I do... I could not pick that flower yet, and die ... "

My tears fell on the letter, and blurred the ink of his handwriting... and as I continue on reading... "Now, that you have finished reading my answer, and if you are satisfied, please open the front door for I am standing outside bringing your favorite bread and fresh milk...

I rushed to pull open the door, and saw his anxious face, clutching tightly with his hands, the milk bottle and loaf of bread....Now I am very sure that no one will ever love me as much as he does, and I have decided to leave the flower alone...

That's LIFE, and LOVE. When one is surrounded by love, the feeling of excitement fades away, and one tends to ignore the true love that lies in between the peace and dullness.

Love shows up in all forms; even in very small and cheeky forms. It has never been a model. It could be the dullest and most boring form ...

Flowers, and romantic moments are only used and appear on the surface of the relationship. Under all this, the pillar of true love stands... AND THAT'S LIFE

Support MARRY ME AMY!!!!

2008-07-20T20:20:00.002+08:00

Now playing: Marry Me Amy

Support MARRY ME AMY!!! Here's the lyrics of my most favorite song:

EMBRACE
by Marry Me Amy

it’s warm but i will
it’s cold and i still
i’d rather call it that way
i know sometimes we’re not the same but

you smile and i like it
you laugh and i get high
this room that only you have surfaced
nothing can get closer than this

embrace
i know you’re gonna call it your way

how can i be afraid
when the world starts to shake
how can i not want to be near you
(it’s too late)

you say things and i doubt
but you make them true i’m proud
we’re fixed and we’ll always own this place
nothing can get closer than this

embrace
i know you’re gonna call it your way...

Missin' YOU

2008-07-10T23:24:00.002+08:00

Missin' YOU by Chris Rice

I heard about the day You went away
You said You had to go prepare a place
And even though I’ve never seen Your face
I’m missin’ You
I lie awake tonight and I watch the sky
And I wish it didn’t have to be so high
‘Cause I’m belonging on the other side
And I’m missin’ You

‘Cause somewhere behind those stars
Is Someone who belongs to me
And I know in my deepest heart
There’s a place for You until I find the place You made for me
But still I’m missin’ You

I dream about Your promise to return
And I wake up hangin’ on Your every word
But for now my feet are planted here on earth
So I’m missin’ You
And even while they say that I’m a fool
I know you see me waiting here for You
Oh, and prayin’ that somehow You’ll get here soon
‘Cause I’m missin’ You

‘Cause somewhere behind those stars
Is Someone who belongs to me
And I know in my deepest heart
There’s a place for You until I find the place You made for me
But still I’m missin’ You

How much longer will it be
Till I get to see you
Though I know you’re right here with me
Tell me when can I be there with you

‘Cause somewhere behind those stars
Is Someone who belongs to me
And I know in my deepest heart
There’s a place for You until I find the place You made for me
But still I’m missin’ You

Oh, I’m missin’ You
LORD, I’m missin’ You

How much time do you spend in front of your computer?

2008-07-10T22:21:00.003+08:00

Me? You wont believe it, 4 hours each days are spent on sleeping. I know, I should be sleeping longer. Going back and forth to work takes about 5 hours everyday. And the remaining hours are spent on computer doing reports and monitoring, blogging and surfing the net! I seriously need to wear glasses now!

That's the one I want. I think it'll look good on me, what do you think? At zennioptical.com, you'll find stylish Prescription Glasses for as low as $8. Wow, that's really cheap for a pair of glasses! I remember, my bestfriend bought her glasses last summer for like 70$, if I'm not mistaken.

Check out Zenni’s affordable frames and glasses now and place your order on their website. You wont find any other deal better than what they offer.

Very Special Love

2008-07-06T21:49:00.002+08:00

I feel better now. Last night was terrible. Been sleeping and watching TV the whole day. Argh! Bloghopping today! Babooosh! Meantime, here's a nice classic mushy love song for yah.

Very Special Love - Maureen Mcgovern

I never believed in love
I was deceived by love
I never had much luck with lovers before
And I couldn't compete
I seemed just part of the street
To be walked on by everyone but then

Then I found a very special love in you
It's a feeling that's so totally new
Over and over, it's burning inside
I found a very special love in you
And it almost breaks me in two
Squeezing me tighter
But I'm never gonna let go

You're not like the rest
I know you're one of the best
You give more than you should and take nothing in return (in return)
Stay always with me
And I always will be
The one person that you can count on always to love you

And I found a very special love in you
It's a feeling that's so totally new
Over and over, it's burning inside
I found a very special love in you
And it almost breaks me in two
Squeezing me tighter
But I'm never gonna let go
But I...

Found a very special love in you
It's a feeling that's so totally new
Over and over, it's burning inside
I found a very special love in you
And it almost breaks me in two
Squeezing me tighter
But I'm never gonna let go
(repeat and fade out)

Are you suffering from addiction? Seek professional help NOW!

2008-04-10T20:32:00.004+08:00

My mom is a caffeine addict. I can't imagine how many cups of coffee a day she drinks in a day. I also have some friends who are caffeine addicts, chain smokers and alcoholics. Truth is, I worry about them. When a person continues to use excessive amount of substance (drug, coffee, cigarette, medication or alcohol) is said to suffer from addiction. It is one of the most common causes of premature illness, disability and death in our society. Are you aware that any misuse of alcohol, cigarettes, both illegal and legal drugs and other mood-altering substances can cause mental disorder when not prevented? A person suffering from any form of addiction needs to undergo psychiatric medical treatment, otherwise, their addiction can interfere to the normal functioning which can then lead to behavioral changes that would be undesirable to some people.

According to the surveys, almost 17% of young American population suffered from alcohol or drug or other substance abuse during their lifetimes. Now that's really scary! There are a lot innocent people who die of car accidents caused by drunk driving. It's a serious problem that tragically effects many victims. Don't wait until it happen to you! For effective long term drug rehab, alcohol rehab and Vicodin addiction treatment, consider getting help from executive-recovery.com.

Executive Recovery offers a 12-step program to help you cope up with your addiction effectively. They will help you identify the source of your problem and will provide help on how you can recover from your it successfully.

Pinoy Idol on GMA 7

2008-04-05T19:10:00.004+08:00

I'm watching GMA 7's Pinoy Idol hosted by Raymond Gutierrez, with Ogie Alcasid, Jolina Magdangal (waaaah, wala na bang choice?) and Wyngard Tracy...and so far, I am not liking it. Hehe. 2nd rate trying hard copy cat! Pero naaliw ako sa DATU, yung mananahi turned rockstar, yung patry chef tsaka yung boyband sa Davao. Mas nagandahan pa yata ako sa Philippine Idol...wehehehe...we'll see in the next weeks to come.

This is the second franchise of Idol series in the Philippines...the first one was ABC 5's Philippine Idol which won by Mau Marcelo. Teka, ano na ang nangyari sa career ni Mau? Tsinugi?

Truth is, I love fashion but my fashion statement is not trendy and attractive but I'd like to believe that it's not odd. How about you? Are you a fashionista or just a wannabe? Or do you have a talent in becoming a fashion designer? If you watch a lot of fashion shows on Fashion TV and the Oscars just to comment on what the models/stars are wearing, your career is heading towards the fashion industry. You can pursue a fabulous career as a fashion journalist or fashion designer.

Save Yourself From Danger

2008-03-27T17:09:00.003+08:00

Allergies can be life threatening. I have a friend who's allergic to seafoods and one time, she collapsed in front of us after tasting just a little amount of battered shrimp. It was scary. We were clueless of what was happening to her until we found out later on that she has food allergies.

Lack of information about medical conditions can be dangerous. Good thing her sister was with us and provided her an anti-histamine tablet. What if she's just alone or if she's with a crowd who doesn't know about her condition? In an emergency situation such as that, when someone might not be able to talk about the situation, a Medical Alert Jewelry can be a great help. Healthcare professionals will be able to diagnose the ailments and provide effective treatments easily.

Medical IDs come in various forms. You can choose from a wide range of bracelet, necklace, expansion wristbands, watches or sportbands designs. Aside from engraving your medical conditions on your chosen jewelry, anything can be engraved on your medical ID,including:

* Advance directive
* Living will
* Blood type
* Contact lenses
* Difficult intubation
* Emergency contacts (next of kin, doctor, etc.)
* Faith
* Implant (e.g., pacemaker)
* Organ donor
* Transplanted organ
* Stent

Protect yourself from possible danger, order your own medical ID jewelry at universalmedicalid.com now.
