A Healthy Person

I am a healthy person for I am always clean. I wash my hands before and after I eat. I take a bath daily and cut my finger nails weekly. I comb my hair and brush my teeth; I don’t have dandruff nor tooth decay.

I am a healthy person for I eat good food, food which gives me the right amount of nutrients I need everyday. I shy away from junk food, candies I eat with moderation. I love fruits and vegetables, for they make my body strong and wonderful. Not a single meal breakfast, lunch or dinner, do I miss? For each meal gives strength and energy all day long.

I am a healthy person for I live a cheerful and happy life. I wake up with a smile in my lips and a prayer in my heart, that every person I meet each day, happiness and joy I bring.

I am a healthy person for I treat my friends and relatives well. And when I have an enemy or somebody I don’t go along well, I talk with him and tell him how I feel. I don’t go for first fights, nor do I put one over another. In my mind, I always think of good things for friends and enemy alike.

I am a healthy person for I appreciate everything around me. Plants and birds I love, as well as stones and leaves on my path. For this, I always make sure that everything in my surrounding is clean and green.

I am a healthy person for I show respect to my parents, friends and even younger siblings. For me they are God’s gift to make my life complete.

I am a healthy person, and for this, I thank God above all. And at the end of each day, I also pray for me and you, that each one of us will always be strong and healthy all year long.

Intelligence Test

intelligence-test

Every one of us needs a break. So just last night I bring my kids with me to go in park just to unwind and the kids to enjoy tier life being small boys. While my kids are very busy playing, I choose to set in a bench facing the sea, because the park is just beside the sea. And some of the ships passes bye. So I enjoy watching the sea with a very cold sea breeze. While sitting on the bench watching my children playing, one small boy comes to me and asks if I have nothing to do, I told the small boy, anything I can do for you small boy? And he gave me a small paper and he run away from me. When the boy was gone I take a look at with paper that he gave to me. It’s an intelligence test written on the small paper. So I read and the contest goes like this and I want to share it to all the readers of my post.

For the thinking mind: you can answer if you like.

1. A lady read a book, turned the light out and went to sleep. In the morning, when she saw in the newspaper that a ship had sunk drowning all on board, she committed suicide. Why?

2. A young man entered a bar and asks for a glass of water. The person behind the bar produced a gun and pointed it at the man. He replied, “Thank you and walked off. Why?

3. Imagine you are driving a Mercedes at 100mph. The steering locks. The doors lock. The brakes fail. You can’t get out. You’re heading for a 1,000-foot cliff! What do you do?

4. 2 + 2 + 5 = 247. Add one small line to make the sum correct.

5. Luke had it before. Paul had it behind.. Ladies have it at the beginning. Abraham Lincon had it twice. Doctor Lowel had it before and behind. He had it twice as bad behind as he had it before. What is it?

6. A man on horseback went on a two day trip. He left on Tuesday and arrived home on Tuesday. How could this be?

How to Quit Smoking

children-smoking

How to quit smoking? If you smoke, and wish you didn’t, a wonderful experience lies ahead of you, the experience of freeing yourself from burden – of rediscovering that you are your own boss. It won’t come without effort. But if you make the effort you will win.

Why do people smoke? As medical experts says that tobacco is not a habit forming; it does not worm its way into your physique and  psyche, as opium or cocaine does. But it is a habit of forming in the same way that three meals a day, eight hours of sleep or wearing cloths are habit forming. If we go without any of them for a while we become uncomfortable.

But how comfortable are we with tobacco? Do smoking really satisfies us? In a way that a big meal likes if we are hungry? Or a cold water if we are thirsty? We should know about these better.

When we smoke, nicotine, carbon monoxide and others various phenols are absorbed into our lungs and mouth and then many things begin to happen.  Your nervous system is momentarily stimulated. You start to salivate. Your blood pressure goes up , your pulse rate increase. We are artificially slowing down our body’s normal activities.

There is a little pleasure in smoking, until we come into effect that our body puts up with the harsh taste or the hot dryness for the sake of tobacco’s mild narcotic effect. If it is possible for us to go without cigarettes for the next 24 hours, we would find out distasteful and harmful to life tobacco smoke really is. We might even fell weak and need to sit down for a few minutes. Try it, so that you can prove it.

Try to think back also of the time many years ago when we smoke our first cigarette. Separate from all the glamor and excitement of our first smoke, how did it taste? Strong, wasn’t it? I spit and tasteless is what I felt.

Everyone knows that cigarette smoking is dangerous to our health, so what do we do about this? For a long thinking if we want to smoke we will think also how to give it up. If we really want how to quit smoking think about giving it up.

Think of calmly and coolly without fear or hesitations. Many others have done it. We can too. Try it as early as we can to save our lives.

Buying Cars, is a Luxury or Necessity

my car

Buying cars is a luxury or necessity; People need to buy cars why? Simply because we need it in our everyday life in going to school, work, to the mall, or anywhere we want to go, and not to commute for most of us we are not comfortable and sometimes taxi are hard to find. So, for me buying car is a necessity.

Buying cars at this moment is not an easy thing to do, but we need to, and this is everybody’s dream to have a car, and how can we achieve this dream. We need to have more money on our bank account than we have actually it right now. During these tough times it is easier to say, “why wish for it if we can’t afford’. That’s almost everyone said. But my principle is different “wish for it and work for it” that’s why I own my brand new car right now.

my son is my driver (lol)

For me I have my two children who are already in school everyday I send them in school back and forth and I don’t like them to ride in a school bus for I pity them for almost every corner, the school bus get in, and plenty of children inside the bus, sometimes they get dizzy and others sleep in the school bus and going home like a rotten veggies which I don’t like to happen to my kids.

Having a car needs also some protection because it also protects our lives, I need to buy some insurance for my car because we don’t know what will happen in our everyday driving, not to tell that we will have an accident on the road but we really need it for our protection.

Some other people they are involve in car racing, since then people are racing different cars, and they are choosing the most popular racing cars have a powerful machines, driving around the tracks with fans cheer up. The speed, colorful cars and exciting actions make each race a special event. And these are all luxury cars, necessity for the average people and luxury for the rich ones. Therefore, buying car is a luxury and also a necessity.

Kiddy Party

kiddy party

It’s a sunny day yesterday when I was invited by a friend to join a kiddy party; it’s the birthday of her youngest daughter. It was an exciting one for I brought my 2 kids with me and they all enjoyed the party. When we arrived in their house there are a lot of cars parking on the street

near there house, I thought it was only their neighbors car parking in front of their houses, but when we are already inside the lobby of the house I’ve noticed that there are a lot of visitors inside, singing, the kids were dancing at the same time they are playing with the invited clown. Every body is enjoying the kiddy party.

My friend saw us that we are already on the venue. Hello Vian, I’ve been waiting for you please come and join the party where are the kids, my friend asks. Oh! They are already in the party and in fact they are already enjoying the presence of the clown, for they love kiddy party if there is a clown, for they enjoyed so much. We went to the buffet table and a lot of foods to eat. Ohs! I’m on diet I talk to myself, but the foods are convincing so I decided to get some foods and dine with my friends.

It was a get together party also for the mommy’s for more than a month that we did not meet each other no more classes, its summer vacation and we are all busy with everyday chores and others are taking their vacations in their different provinces. Good that the party falls also in mother’s day so it was a multi party celebration for the kids and for the mommy’s. We really enjoyed the kiddy party and the mommy’s party as well.

In the house in our everyday life, my kids are always asking what to do during there birthday, party, where to celebrate and the invited visitors. So I really need to have a celebration during there day, because it is an awaited day of there lives and celebrated once a year.

Even we are out of budget we need to reserved budget for the especial day of our beloved children and have a kiddy party that they are aiming for.

Tips on How to Improve our Memory

improve-better-memory

Still remember our childhood days? Me I don’t remember some, the first day in school, my first classmates, my first teacher, my first friend in school, and my first playmate. Human consciousness and identity –our lives- are bound with memory. Our memories make us who we are.

Remembering is effortless and instinctive for most of us, sometimes I forget how difficult and important an act it actually is. Why do we remember some events so clearly and others are not? Why does memory decline as one ages? Can we really boost our memories? So, I research this topic for I am also very confused why it happens to us.

Our brain is man’s organ of thought, speech, emotion and memory. It is the body’s control center. The brain has the jelly like consistency. It reveled that our memory has two major forms; one form is concerned with knowing how or knowledge with motor skills, the other is concerned knowing what, or knowledge of facts and events. Once our memory has been acquired, once it has been in a stable store for more than an hour, memory can maintain itself by using the proteins that are already available.

Here are some tips on how to improve our memory;

• Stimulate your brain’s neutral circuit to grow by using your memory to the utmost. Challenge your mind, learn a new skill and develop it to the fullest.
• Filter data. Determine what is the most important and concentrate on remembering them. Do not try to memorize everything.
• Recite. Saying ideas aloud is an effective way to convert short-term knowledge to long term memory.
• Use mnemonic device to help you remember a list of facts or steps in a procedure.
• Take vitamins that are essential for the proper functioning of memory.
• Drink enough water. Research has shown that dehydration affects memory, causing confusion and thought difficulties.
• Get enough sleep. Lack of sleep directly affects the brain impairing concentration and storing of information.
• Stay off the booze. Excessive alcohol intake has an extremely damaging affect on memory. Studies have shown that small amount of alcohol interferes with the ability of remembering.
• Do not smoke. Smoking rubs the brain of oxygen and it affects memory.

Happy Mother’s Day Mom

mothers-day-special

Words cannot be explained how lucky I am having a mother like my mom. For all the sacrifices and trials in our family still my mom fight for it. Our ups and downs in our daily lives and we traveled a long way trip with a calm and wavy waves still we reach our destinations and me, my brothers and sister finished our chosen course with a title degree holder. And now having our own lives with our respective families and have a good living with the guidance of our mother dear and with the help also of our prayers, I know God will guides us always in the way of righteousness.

In this mother’s day special, I offered to all the mothers in the whole world my full heart thanks to them because without our mothers we are nothing in this sometimes crazy world,

To my mom, I have gone through so many different changes, changing ideas and goals while searching for the right kind of life for me, Mother you were always ready to help me at all times. Mom I thank you for always standing at me, even though you disagree, and thanking you mom for always accepting me for who I am and what I believe in, even though I am wrong. And thanking you mom for all the love and understanding and for being a wonderful mom. Happy Mother’s Day.

Though this simple message I can tell the whole world how really proud I am having a mother like my mom. I do believe my moms courage and determination in uplifting our living without any doubt, and I know mom is also proud of us for she can see now the fruit of her sacrifices.

Manny Pacquiao for President?!!!

Manny Pacquiao

Sounds crazy? Well it’s not as crazy as it is. I know Manny Pacquiao shown time to time willingness to face difficult task. Manny is a guy with six championship belts, who takes apart Oscar dela Hoya in eight rounds and Ricky Hatton in second rounds. I know all of this is a God’s plan for my idol Manny is a religious man he never forgets to put God first in everything he does.

Manny is a man with a plan, and I think he is also a man for the Philippines. Man for the world of boxing for he is the only boxing champion who raise the flag of the Filipino people and show to the whole world that Philippines is really a great one.

I’ve heard news with an interview with Manny Pacquiao that he denies any political ambitions, but he is not closing any doors. One interviewer asks Manny for a rumor of running as a presidential candidate? But Manny smiled, and said Uh! No, just congressmen only, with his honest reply. Well, let us wait and see, if I am to be asks I suggest him not to enter any political ambitions, what for? He has already the money, the popularity, and most of all have a family that loves him so much. And it’s everyone’s aim to have a family as a whole. What is popularity, after all?

Looking back the Pacquiao-Hatton fights in Las Vegas, must have been a heaven for Filipinos, a shot that proving the country’s greatness to the world. But, Hatton was devastated by his shock defeat. Hatton says in an Sky sports news that he had not anticipated the Filipino’s knock out punch, which lead him flat on the floor, but if the game gone a few rounds it could have been a different, but he caught me with practically the first punch he throw, said Hatton with an honest answer. I’ve lost twice and I’ve lost to the pound-for-pound fighters in the world, it’s not bad of looking at it, but I’m devastated. I would not put my money on that happening, Hatton ended.

Well, let us see and watch for the number one boxing champ in the world next in line. I think it’s a hard time for the boxers to fight Manny on the ring. And for the Pacquiao-Hatton fight it gives a victory to every Filipino family because we all enjoy the fight especially my children, while watching they are also punching our sofa, shouting and laughing watching the fight.

Music is a Good Promotion for Children

grand piano

Music is a good promotion for children because it is a meaningful medium of expressing their ideas, feelings, dreams aspirations and values. Exposing our children to a wide variety of music ranging from folksy to the contemporary top tunes, from the classical to the favorite songs of yesterday, we not only impart knowledge towards our children but we also helps develops their skills and values which makes music truly enhance them.

guitar

Summer season here in the Philippines is a free time to the kids, so I decided to enrolled them in a musical class like playing guitar and piano, because I do believe that learning music among my children especially on instrumental playing promotes them a mental development, concentration and patience. It also helps them develops there self-confidence, that’s why music is a good promotion for children.

The experiences and the learning’s they have learned today will make them a difference in their lives, in the lives of their parents like me. The folk songs, love songs as well as religious songs that my children learned and perform in the review, drill lesson, proper enrichment activities create an awareness of their beliefs, traits and the way of life as a children. Greater understanding, love and appreciation towards music are a good thing also that they learned during their summer class.

Now in the house that their summer classes is almost done and they learned many strokes and can play now the piano most of the time they are playing different kinds of music that can catch my attention and I told to myself that I was not wrong to choose a summer class about music to my children for I really know that music is a good promotion for children.
