Here comes the summer. Time to go outdoors and have fun, like going to the beach. During the summer months, UV radiation tends to be greater. This is the reason why some of us uses sunblock lotions in order to avoid sunburns and lower your risk of skin cancer.
How are we going to enjoy our summer without worrying about sunburn and skin cancer? May the following could be of big help to you.
- Seek shade, especially during midday hours (10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.), when UV rays are strongest and do the most damage.
- Cover up with clothing to protect exposed skin.
- Get a hat with a wide brim to shade the face, head, ears, and neck.
- Grab shades that wrap around and block as close to 100% of both UVA and UVB rays as possible.
- Rub on sunscreen with sun protective factor (SPF) 15 or higher, and both UVA and UVB protection.
Combining these sun protective actions helps protect your skin from the sun’s damaging UV rays.
How do UV rays reach us, during cloudy and hazy days and even when we’re not under the heat of the sun? UV rays will also reflect off any surface like water, cement, sand, and snow. Additionally, UV rays from artificial sources of light, like tanning beds, cause skin cancer and should be avoided.
Many of the skin cancer victim were easily treated but why would we allow to have cancer, if we can protect ourselves against it? The best way to avoid skin cancer is to protect your skin from the sun.
Enjoy your summer without Cancer.
Each blood type has different characteristics that allow it to eat, digest, and assimilate food best for that group. Since Os have been blessed with such strong stomach acid and respective enzymes, they are able to metabolize almost everything, even those foods not recommended for them. However, the Bs, As and ABs do not have this luxury, and accordingly, must be more careful in their eating habits, or suffer the consequences.
For example, if you eat a food not compatible with your blood type and stomach enzymes, the food is not broken down or digested properly, and the vitamins and minerals are not absorbed into your bloodstream to fuel and nourish your body. Your body reacts to the food just as it would any foreign substance. You might experience a stomach ache, gas, bloating, or even worse, vomiting or diarrhea.
If you are Type A or AB and the meat you keep eating is not metabolizing, your bloodstream is now flooded with thick, sticky agglutinated blood, loaded with saturated animal fat, just looking for a nice spot to deposit itself. It doesn’t take a genius IQ to see why As and ABs should not eat meat, and if they do, they die younger.
Now if O or B eat meat, their bodies metabolize it better, and the agglutination process does not take place, or if it does, it is very minor and not life threatening. Type Os, who usually completely metabolize meat and gain all the benefits from it (with the exception of pork) are at little or no risk. Further, since an O starts out with the thinnest blood, any agglutination that takes place will thicken the blood, but not to the extent experienced by the other blood types, or to a life threatening situation.
Take, for example, bread and white potatoes. If a Type O or Type A eats these foods, in
most cases some agglutination takes place. However, since these foods contain little, if any fat, the body will not deposit the non-metabolized portion on the artery walls. It is more likely to store the unused food as fat. Hence, you gain weight. While this may be benevolent in the short run, eventually all this excess fat may lead to diabetes, high blood pressure or other illnesses.
Any food containing saturated fat has the greatest potential for harm to the body, in the long run, regardless of blood type. Saturated fat to Types A and AB is more dangerous in the short run because of the reasons stated previously. In the long run, even Types O and B, whose blood enzymes handle saturated fat better, are susceptible to the hazards. It just takes longer. So although Os and Bs are not particularly susceptible to heart disease and most forms of cancer, a continual regimen of saturated fat and/or incompatible foods will eventually produce the same result. It just appears the harmful effects take much longer in Os and Bs.
As the body grows older, it stops producing certain hormones, it loses muscle mass, bones become more brittle, immune function decreases, and the body’s intolerance of improper food begins to manifest itself in insidious ways.
But with proper diet, including nourishment from those foods and supplements specific to your needs, the chance of disease is greatly reduced. In fact, proper diet according to blood type, coupled with exercise, enables your immune system to be its strongest. A strong immune system can make the difference between a longer or shorter life span.
Do you know that eating food with vitamins gives you a healthy glowing skin?
Because of the global warming we’re experiencing these days, it is obvious that we are prone to viruses and bacterias which may led us into sickness. Furthermore, we’re also experiencing the dryness of our skin. This dryness of our skin is because of lack of water intake. I have discussed this to my mind within blog.
Another reason of the skin dryness is the lack of vitamins. What
vitamins should I intake in order to have a healthy looking skin? What do these vitamins do to our body which makes our skin soft and healthy?
- Vitamin A - helps repair body tissue, prevents skin dryness and postpones aging. So, try to add milk, cheese, eggs, butter, spinach, broccoli, carrot and fish oils to your diet. Vitamin A is fat soluble. This kind of fat gets stored in the liver and maybe harmful, so make sure you do not have it in excess.
- Vitamin B improves circulation and skin color. It is water soluble, so it is safe to intake daily. It is found in yogurt, brown bread, wheatgerm, yeast, cereal and green leafy vegetables.
- Vitamin C helps maintain levels of collagen, a protein constituent of skin that is essential for healing the skin as well as keeping it smooth, firm and healthy-looking. Vitamin C is also a water soluble that is safe to take daily. Eat lots of citrus fruits, strawberries, black currants, potatoes, cabbage, broccoli and sprouts.
Eat healthy and have a beautiful healthy skin.
As we grow older, our skin get dry and produces cracklings and wrinkles. Is it natural? Yes it is! Because as our age added, our skin also ages. But there are some case where the aging of the skin is premature. Skin Premature aging is also called the Extrinsic Aging.
Dermatologist explained that Extrinsic aging is caused by sun exposure, repetitive facial expressions, gravity, sleeping positions, and smoking. Without protection from the sun’s rays, just a few minutes of exposure each day over the years can cause noticeable changes to the skin. Freckles, age spots, spider veins on the face, rough and leathery skin, fine wrinkles that disappear when stretched, loose skin, a blotchy complexion, actinic keratoses (thick wart-like, rough, reddish patches of skin), and skin cancer can all be traced to sun exposure.
How can we lessen the skin aging?
While you cannot stop or even slow down the intrinsic aging process, you can prevent signs of premature aging by protecting your skin from the sun, quitting smoking, and eliminating facial exercises.
Dermatologists recommend comprehensive sun protection to prevent premature aging caused by the sun. Comprehensive sun protection includes:
-
Avoiding deliberate tanning, including use of indoor tanning devices.
-
Staying out of the sun between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., when the sun’s rays are the strongest.
-
Wearing protective clothing, such as a wide-brimmed hat and long sleeves, when outdoors during the day.
-
Applying sunscreen year round. Sunscreen should be broad spectrum (offers UVA and UVB protection) and have a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 15 or higher. Sunscreen should be applied 20 minutes before going outdoors to all skin that will be exposed. It should be reapplied after sweating or being in water.
I visited my dentist this lunch time after eating at lunch, i went out of the office and came to Dr. Ems clinic for another teeth extraction. This is our 2nd move, and this is no joke, it really hurt. I am supposed to have my braces on tomorrow, but the problem is that my lower molar is big so it is shallow and bloody. So we decided to move our next appointment on Wednesday.
My blog’s ages 2 months and it is a surprise for me to raise it PR from n/a to 2. I started posting contents last January 23, which at first mad me confuse if what am I going to post first. I even posted the story of my Christmas vacation late, it’s already January.
It is so amazing to have a blog where you can share everything you wanna say plus some sacrifices and hardships to have even just PR1. I am so glad to find out that everything I did for my blog has a result.
Thanks for the advices of my friends and my officemates to have my blog indexed and raise its PR.
I will continue blogging and making my blog popular.
Thanks a lot.
Sweet
I was born to have small teeth and I don’t care if how it looked like. As I was growing up and of course having my teeth extracted, I noticed that my permanent teeth were bigger. At first I’m not aware of it, but as I was getting older, I started to worry about it. My real problem is my two upper Canine(Cuspid) teeth were overlapping my other front teeth. That made me looked like a vampire. In my lower teeth, my two Canines are twisting and Dr. ems (my dentist) told me that it may took a long time to correct. My teeth really made me feel insecure and uncomfortable to smile.
I decided to come to a Dentist and fix my teeth. Of course we planned and talked about the processes which I am about to experience in having braces. I have my molar tooth or the tooth #28 extracted today. This is our first move. Of course it hurts, thanks for the help of some pain relievers, the reason why I am still working here in the office. My next appointment with Dr. Ems is on Monday. And I think she’d going to extract two molar teeth. Can you imagine how could this be so painful to me? In tis reason, I will surely be absent on Monday. So, wish me luck guys. 
Under the light hands of Dr. Ems, should I be more comfortable in showing my teeth?
More update soon.

Dr. Jose P. Rizal

Ousted President Joseph Estrada says “blatant and excessive” corruption in government had eroded the gains of the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution.
Speaking before the Rotary Club of Quezon City at Club Filipino in Greenhills, San Juan, Estrada admonished President Arroyo for saying that she only learned of alleged anomalies in the ZTE deal the night before she flew to China to witness the signing of the contract.
“I am calling on the Arroyo administration to abandon the politics of corruption, the politics of greed and the politics of lies and deception,” he said.
“On hindsight, I am proud to say that my administration was not once marred with cover-ups. No contract initiated during my administration was the subject of any corruption issue, neither was any member of my cabinet charged with corruption.
“Her (Arroyo’s) statement is an outright lie. Several months ago, no less than National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) director general Romulo Neri informed her (Mrs. Arroyo) that he had been offered a P200-million bribe to approve the deal.
“ I can tell you with a straight face that in my entire public service career, I have never lied to the people. In fact, I have been criticized for being too frank and candid.”
Estrada said the administration must observe transparency in government.
“EDSA II has claimed so many victims, from the sanctity of our electoral processes to the repeated transgression of our Constitution and the many cases of extra judicial killings,” he said.
“It has brought wide scale and massive corruption that identifies our country as among the most corrupt in the world.”
Valentine’s Day is very memorable for us. Our
company decided to have a game called “Win-a-Date”, where we have to match two broken hearts (one half for the ladies and the other half is for the guys) with the word “Win A Date” on it. Of course there are exemptions for those who are married.
The Prize?…… A great Dinner Date!!!
Luckily but not intentionally, I was the one who picked the other half of the winning heart. There are two pairs of winners, one from the Day shift and another pair from the Night shift.
Who’s my date? Well it’s JP, we are from the Day shift. From the Night are Mark and Amy.
February 20, 2008, 7:00 pm, Casitas Restaurant, Jaro,Iloilo City. The place where we have our dinner date.

I have a friend just call him “Bri”. He is fun and likable to chat with. He asked my email
address and add me as his friendster friend. We started chatting yesterday, when my seat mate gave my YM to him. We were enjoying chatting, but something played in my mind and I told him that I am 32 yrs old and the fact that he really believed in me.
Early this morning, I saw Bri and my seat mate’s YM conversation where Bri was asking for another “chick” who is younger. Of course, it’s not me! But I wasn’t hurt, though.

Begin with the end mind. This is based on the principle that all things are created twice. A modern and highly effective teacher plans her
lessons and works on ideas to attain her objectives. This is the mental or first creation wherein she envisions what she wants her students to learn and to become. -
Put first things first. This habit is the second or the physical creation. It is the fulfillment or actualization of the mental or first creation.

Credit cards are of big help to all of us. It can be used worldwide or even in the internet. But How sure are we that we chose the right credit card which will not lead us to danger. Danger in terms of interest, hidden fees, and many other programs of the credit card companies, which may led us into a huge debt.
Credit cards are very provocative to anyone, especially to those who likes to buy. But be careful in choosing the credit card you are applying. Not all of the credit cards are helpful, this might be the reason of your bankruptcy.
Low Interest Rates
Of course, the first thing we must consult is the interest. How much interest would be
added to my credit card? Review your monthly credit card statement carefully to see what the rate of interest being applied to your outstanding credit card debt is. When you see that the interest rate has gone up, without you having been notified of such, make sure you query this with your credit card company at your next available opportunity.
Hidden Fees
The next impact on any credit card debt is the hidden fees charge. Hidden fees like: annual usage fees, fees for cash-back withdrawals, late payment fees, double entry (reverse entry) book-keeping, tax on interest accrued, etc. If this happens, it is the time for you to either cut the card up or take up the offer of one of their competitors offering you incentive schemes to move your account to them!
Insurance
Many of us start to experience credit card debt problems because of some sudden change in our financial status. befor this will happe, you must plan on what will you do if ever the time come where you’ll loose your job and unable to pay your credit card debt. However you should try to go to a credit card provider who offer this service for free.
Loyalty Schemes
When you are using your card for many years, there’s a good chance for you to avail some of the credit card company programs as they give you something in return for your having accrued all that outstanding credit card debt.
There are many religious festivals celebrated in Philippines. The Dinagyang is Iloilo City’s biggest and most colorful religious and cultural festival.
Every last Sunday of January, it is observed as a devotion to the Señor Santo Niño that began to take root in the hearts of Ilonggos.
I want to share some of my experiences and happenings during the Dinagyang 2008.
And of course, I tried being one of the tribe dancers. I got a chance to try one of the tribe costume.
Come to ILOILO and enjoy our very own festival.
Debt consolidation programs can be very beneficial to borrowers, but these programs also have their pitfalls.
Debt consolidation programs are good for a some situations, like if you are paying several different loans off, your life may be easier if you consolidate everything into one loan. You’ll only get one monthly statement and make one payment. Furthermore, you’ll find that your monthly debt payments decrease if you use a debt consolidation program that stretches your payments out over a longer period of time. But as a temptation strategy, we can use debt consolidation program to manage various high-rate revolving debts.
One pitfall of a debt consolidation program is that you may feel like you have less outstanding debt. Where, you’ll notice that your credit cards once again have generous amounts of available credit. This may lead you to have very large debt. You may end up paying more total interest if you use a debt consolidation loan. If you stretch out your payments over a longer period of time, it is possible that your total interest cost will be higher.
You should also be aware that you may end up paying more total interest if you use a debt consolidation loan. If you stretch out your payments over a longer period of time, it is possible that your total interest cost will be higher. Of course, it may be worth it to you if you can more easily manage your cash flow today.
I celebrated my Christmas vacation with my family and friends. I cooked my favorite dishes, I gave gifts to my parents, friends, and of course to my “iyada” (goddaughter).
I am with my parents, my “tatay” and “nanay”. My sisters were in Manila with their jobs, and I am the only one left with our parents. Obviously, my family weren’t complete last Christmas.
I was the one assigned in preparing our “noche buena”. I was busy cooking and also my parents were helping.
Even though my sister’s were not home for Christmas, my
friends were with me to stroll around our town plaza. Once again, we were together for a long time.
This is my Christmas! Simple but quite enough to make me happy…
