Women Power!!!

C_elle_kit_image

Have you ever heard About the Science of cord blood banking where an umbilical cord blood is collected and stored for future use when your child had a serious illness then these Blood-forming stem cells from the donor are transplanted into the child who is ill, and those cells go on to manufacture new, healthy blood cells and enhance the child's blood-producing and immune system capability. I think this goes the same with C'elle exclusive and revolutionary stem cell technology that empowers women to safely and easily collect non-controversial, potentially life-saving stem cells found in menstrual blood that would be able to potentially for future therapeutic developments to possibly treat major diseases like diabetes, heart disease, stroke, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's; as well as possible cosmeceutical applications like anti-aging and wound-healing. I've been reading about stem cell technology and it seems that a lot of medical doctors around the world had been banking on conducting research on this new medical technology. This indeed is a breakthrough! I've encountered one article that I read, a Japanese doctor in Tokyo collected menstrual blood from six women and harvested stem cells that originated in the lining of the uterus ... and what did they got? About 30 times more stem cells than from bone marrow. They even cultured it in a way to induce them to become heart cells. And after five days half of the cells contracted "spontaneously, rhythmical and synchronously, suggesting the presence of electrical communication" between the cells and behaved like heart cells. Now, if this is the case ... collecting menstrual blood means cure from various illness ... let's do think about this very well and we might be able to save lives! Visit the C'elle site and learn more about it through the C'elle Client Testimonial ... you might be even interested in their "Caring is Sharing" promotion.

3 Jobs for the Price of 1 ...

Starting July 30 till August 30 ... i'll be taking the post of executive assistant to the President & COO of our company. Currently i'm handling the Trade Marketing Group and our Training Department ... and now another one ... woohooo ... 3 jobs for the price of 1 ... that's what we call mega over multi-tasking. This only shows how flexible I am when it comes to work ... jack-of-all trades. a multi-tasker, flexibility ... call it whatever you want to call it. One advantage that I see with multi-tasking is learning. You get to experience what it is to be a marketing support person, a trainor and an executive assistant. Different roles, different experiences, various difficulty of tasks ... which makes you a whole person. Well, at least a get to enjoy one whole day without idle time ... hehehe ... positive thinking!!!!

Hole in Qantas Jumbo Jet!!!

A Qantas jumbo jet had to make an emergency landing at the Manila, Philippines airport. The Boeing 747-400 was carrying 346 passengers when they heard an explosion. This made the plane descend rapidly but eventually safely landed minutes later. Thank God there were no injuries reported. Aircraft specialists from Australia will be coming over to determine what caused this huge hole in the plane. Hmmm, I really hope they would find the cause of this damage, report it so that this kind incident would not happen again. Airline companies could be able to create a preventive action on this.

In Need of Cash?

My hubby recently signed as co-maker for his officemate for her cash advance loan. Hmmm, at first I was really hesitant to allow hubby to sign as co-maker, but when I learned that his officemate needs the cash badly to pay for her hospital bills, I agreed. It's a good thing that their employer has this kind of benefit for their employees ... allowing them to get a personal loan at a very low interest. It just took them two weeks to process all the documents ... that was quick and easy. It was deposited electronically thru their ATM card so hubby's officemate was able to get it very quickly. Flexible payments were offered to suit the payors capacity to pay on time ... and this is a great deal. Hmmm, why not me getting a cash advance loan too? Maybe I should ask our office if they provide this kind of benefit or service to their employees. Times are really hard nowadays, with the rising cost of gasoline and all the basic needs ... my problem is the same with everybody's. Oh well, there's still hope that our economy will be better ... let's think positive!!! We will all surpass this!!! So for the meantime ... let's just pray for a better tomorrow! Ciao!!!

Friendship and Trust

A very nice thought to ponder ...
Building relationships is two-way ... the other party "trusts" you first
then you, on the other hand, has to prove that you're worth to be trusted!
You can call as many people as you can as your friends
But friends with "friendship" ... not at all times ...

Survival of the Fittest!!!

Times are hard nowadays. With the continous rise of gasoline ... follows the rising cost of all the basic things that we need ... food, basic services, etc. Waaah ... how can I possibly meet both ends? I'm trying to think on how to save up on every possible way I can like how can I save up on electricity, water, etc. But with the unpredictable rising cost (you wouldn't know when and how much). So how can I survive until payday on days that I could not let both ends meet ... cash loan! This loan is intended to bridge my cashflow gap between paydays. You just have to fill-up an pre-qualification form online and wala ... you have instant cash! But of course, I have to be a responsible borrower and pay whatever that is due to me ... so whenever I need that cash badly ... i can borrow from them again.

Malunggay ... a Wonder Medicine!

Malunggay!!! Dami nito sa Pilipinas (Abundant in the Philippines)!!! Not many Filipinos knows the wonders that malunggay ("Moringa" in English; "Sajina" in Indian Subcontinent) ... they know is that malunggay is an important ingredient for soup given to breastfeeding mothers to help in the production of milk. But did you know that it now being eyed by the Department of Agriculture as a way of reducing malnutrition and poverty in the country? And now being eyed as a potential export product as a natural ingredient for cosmetics and pharmaceutical applications. Malunggay is nature's medicine cabinet. The following are its nutritional value:

- natural energy booster (loaded with nutrients, vitamins and amino acids)
- 1 ounce of Moringa contains 7x the Vitamin C found in oranges, 4x the Vitamin A of carrots,
3x the iron of spinach, 4x calcium from milk and 3x the potassium of bananas
- helps to reduce blood pressure and let's you have a good night's sleep
- University laboratories around the world have studied Moringa's ability to purify water
attaching itself to harmful material and bacteria, and allowing them to be expelled as waste
- strengthens immune system
- relieves headaches and migraines
- manages diabetes sugar level
- reduced inflammations and athritis pain
- restriction of tumors
- rebuild weak bones
- anti-aging (hmmm...)
- excellent fuel and fertilizer
See the many benefits of malunggay? So we need not think that solutions to our problems are expensive and hard to find. But more often than not, real solutions to basic problems are abundant, cheap and even free. Health problems are especially solved with natural inexpensive gifts from nature.

And we are really blessed for an abundant supply of malunggay, it is easily available everywhere in the country. With this positive development in the government's campaign to reduce malnutrition and increase the income of farmers who would cultivate the hardy tree and supply local and foreign corporations with natural ingredients for cosmetics and pharmaceutical applications. Wow ... that's good news!

My hubby and I are talking about getting a car insurance again, but with all the basic commodities and gasoline prices going up ... the next question for us is where can we get an auto insurance with affordable rates. So we searched the net and found a site with super affordable auto insurance rates. They also do give out free insurance quotes so you would be able to get and compare as well their rates versus other insurance companies out there. So far, they are one of the many insurance companies who gives out a better and affordable rate in the market. They even have a car insurance guide wherein you can all the necessary knowledge to lower your premiums. And what's more interesting is that they provide a detailed state by state information for insurance consumers nationwide ... a major plus for all those uber busy in their work.

Since each state has its own requirements for auto insurance, they uploaded a comprehensive list of everything you will need to know about getting the appropriate amount of auto insurance coverage in your local state. They are available 24/7 ... so try them now!

Pilipino: Anong Magagawa Mo Para Sa Bayan Mo?

Gusto ko sanang ibahagi sa inyo ang lathalang ito sa isang lathalang pangkalawakan (blog) ni PCHI.

Matagal nang panahon na nakalubog ang Pilipinas sa utang, di mabayad-mabayarang utang sa world bank. Marami sa ating mga kababayan, tapos man sa pag-aaral, di naman makahanap ng disenteng trabaho sa bansa. Kaya nagbabaka-sakali sila sa ibang bayan. Marami namang sinuwerte, naku... at marami din po ang sinawing palad. Nakakalungkot nga isipin na marami sa ating mga kakabayan kailangan pang manilbihan sa ibang bansa para mabuhay ang kanilang mga pamilya. Mapait nga lang kasi malayo at malungkot ang mamuhay ng mag-isa. Kung minsan pa nga, ang pamilyang pilit na tinataguyod ay nasisira pa. Kung sabagay, mas maswerte pa naman sila kaysa sa mga kapus-palad naming mga kababayang hindi na nga nakakapag-aral, gutom, walang laman ang sikmura, o kaya'y palaboy laboy lang sa lansangan dahil sa walang matinong tirahan.

Napansin mo ba ang mga ito sa iyong kapaligiran, o sadyang nagpakabulag-bulagan ka dahil hindi ka naman apektado. Oo nga naman, mariwasa ang buhay mo kaysa higit na mga Pilipino, may koneksyon ka pa nga ng internet. Magkano ba ang bayad mo niyan buwan-buwan? Yung akin, di bababa sa isang libo't dalawang daang piso... (masakit nga sa bulsa eh, di naman kasi kami mayaman, pero kailangan naman). Malamang nakapag-aral ka rin sapagkat nababasa mo itong mga walang kakwenta-kwentang sinasabi ko.

Maswerte ka! Oo, maswerte ka. Ngunit kontento ka ba? Hindi. Ako rin naman. Gusto ko ng mas magandang buhay, marangya kung maaari. Gusto kong makabili ng sariling kotse para mas masaya (mahal na pala ang gaas ngayon no, bisikleta na lang), may bahay at lupa at masayang pamilya, may magandang trabaho at kumikita ng malaki.

Tila nakakalimutan natin ang mga tao sa paligid natin. Basta ba masaya tayo eh, ano nga ba ang pakialam natin sa kanila, buhay nila yan. Malamang nagpabaya sila kaya sila nagkakaganyan. Marahil tama ka nga, pero isipin mo, kung ikaw kaya ang nasa kalagayan nila, ano kaya?

Problema na ng gobyerno yan, iniisip ko ang maaari mo sabihin. E pano ba naman kasi, mahirap na nga sa daga si Juan dela Cruz, kinakwartahan pa ng mga balasubas na pulitiko. Yung buwis na dapat para sa taong bayan, napupunta sa dati namang mayayaman na nilang mga bulsa. Pero ako ha, naniniwala ako sa karma. Ang sabi pa nga, aanihin mo ang iyong tinanim. Ang lahat ng mga kabulastugan mo balang araw ay babalik din sa iyo. Kaya, nakakainis mang isipin parang wala na nga tayong magagawa laban sa mga abusadong mga nakaupo diyan. Subalit naniniwala din naman ako na may mga taong tapat sa tungkulin, wag naman nating lahatin... Yung nga lang, ang hirap paghiwalayin ang itim sa puti, at yung mga abo.

Kahit nga sa mga baranggay may korapsyon ng nagaganap. Ultimo mga opisyalis ng Sangguniang Kabataan marunong nang mandugas. At hindi barya-barya ang sinasabi ko, libu-libong pera! Paano na kaya yung mas malawak ang kapangyarihan? E di mas malaki ang kupit nila doon. Hay naman. Kailan pa uunlad ang Pilipinas kung walang humpay ang nakawan sa kaban ng bayan!

Ngayon ang mga ordinaryong mamamayang tulad ko ay nahihirapan na sa taas ng mga pangunahing bilihin: bigas, gatas, mantika, asukal, harina at kung anu-ano pa. Ano na lang ba ang hindi tumataas, e di ba ang halaga ng piso na lang? Buti tayo may trabaho, kahit paano mairaraos natin kahit hirap na hirap tayo sa pagbabadyet. Paano na kaya yung mga kapwa natin Pilipinong wala man lang tirahan, walang damit, walang pagkain? Ano na ang mangyayari sa kanila?

Kamakailan lang, lumabas ang resulta ng surbey hinggil sa pinakamasayang bansa sa mundo. Marami sa mga bansa sa Asya lumagpak. Ang bansang Japan, mayaman na nga nasa ika-90 pwesto naman. Ang Pilipinas, di ko mawari kung saang pwesto. Ang mga nilathala lang kasi yung mga nanalo at bumagsak. Gusto mong malaman kung anu-anong bansa ang mga nanalo? Tingnan mo ito.

Sa tingin ko, masayahin naman tayong mga Pilipino bilang isang lahi. Mahilig tayong kumanta at marami tayong paraan upang maibsan ang ating mga problema. Palakaibigan naman tayo kaya marami tayong mapaghihingahan ng sama ng loob.

Ngunit balik tayo sa tanong ko : Paano ka nga ba makatutulong sa iyong bayan, Pilipino? Sapat na bang magpadala ka ng salapi buwan-buwan mula sa sahod mo sa pagtatrabaho mo sa ibang bayan? O ang pagtulong sa mga charity works ng mga foundations?

Ako ay simpleng tao. Hindi mayaman, hindi din naman mahirap. Pero ako man ay iisa lamang, sa tingin ko mayroon naman akong magagawa kahit paano sa ating bansa at mga kababayan. Eto ang ilan sa aking mga mungkahi. Mas mabuti kung makadaragdag ka ng iyong opinyon. Ikaw, ako, kung marami tayo, magkakaroon ng pagbabago!

Iwasan ang pagkutya ang mga kababayang hindi gaanong nakakariwasa sa buhay o mga tingin nating "beneath our level". Ang galing nating mamuna sa kapwa. Di porke maayos ang kalagayan mo mayabang ka na. Kung maganda o gwapo, mayaman o matalino ka man, igalang ang pagkatao ng iba. Kung iisipan naman kahit anong oras pwedeng mawala sa iyo ang lahat ng pag-aari, kagandahan o dunong mo. Isang aksidente, sakit, sunog, o kalamidad maaaring isang araw maging kasing baba mo rin sila. Magpakumbaba ka. Sa halip magpasalamat sa Diyos na ikaw ay makakapamuhay ng maayos.


Kung maaari naman, maghatid ng tulong pinansyal sa mga nangangailangan. Hindi importante kung magkano o paano. Halimbawa, ang mga kababayan natin na nasalanta sa nakaraang bagyo, kung mayroon namang extrang halaga, kung maaari magbigay. Mas mabuti na ang ikaw ang tumutulong kaysa sa dumating ang araw, na ikaw naman ang inaabutan ng tulong.


Pero hindi ako pabor sa pagbibigay ng pera sa mga namamalimos, lalo na yung mga pwede namang magtrabaho. Kung minsan nga lang, masakit talagang pagmasdan. Ang ginagawa ko, bumibili ako ng pagkain sa halip na pera. Minsan kasi, may mga rumaraket na sindikato diyan sa mga limos-limos na yan.


Eto ha, nakakainis. Super inis na inis talaga ako. Pinoy, pangalagaan mo naman ang kapaligiran mo! Huwag yung kung saan-saan ka lang nagtatapon ng basura mo. Sige ka, babalik din yan sa iyo, pati kami damay pa, hay naku.


Aba naman, hinay-hinay naman sa pag-aanak. Kung di naman kayang tustusan, wag namang gawa ng gawa ng bata. Kung hindi pa handa sa pananagutan, huwag munang makipagtalik sa kasintahan (lalo na kung nag-aaral pa). Lumulubo na ang populasyon ng bansa eh, maliit naman ang ating lupa. Upang hindi mahirapan, bilang ng pamilya ay pahalagahan.

Bago gumawa ng anumang hakbang, isipin ang ibang tao. May nasasaktan ka ba, may naaapakan para lang umangat? Tigilan na yang crab mentality na yan. Maging matapat sa lahat ng mga transaksyon.


Tigilan ang pagkutya sa gobyerno. Wala naman yang maidudulot na mabuti. Oo ako, guilty ako. Nung mga unang taon ko sa unibersidad, minsan nakakasali ako sa mga rally. Pero napagtantya ko, sayang ang oras. Kung inaral ko nalang yun, mapapakinabangan pa ng bayan ang handog kong serbisyo pagdating ng panahon. Hindi naman sa sinasabi kong walang halaga ang ipanaglalaban ang ating mga kapatid na militante. Kung iisipan nga, isa sila sa nagpapamulat ng ating mga mata sa mga maling ginagawa ng ating mga pulitiko o iba pa. Pero ako naman, kung may mabigat na dahilan, handa rin naman akong mag-alsa sa kalsada. Ngunit hanggang may iba pa akong magagawa, may ibang paraan, dun ako

Uy, ang haba na pala. Pasensiya ka na. Hindi ko na itutuloy, baka abutan tayo ng apat-napu't walong taon. Nadala kasi ako ng aking damdamin. Kung umabot ka hanggang dito, saludo na ako sa iyo. Kung may maimumungkahi ka pa, mag-comment ka. Bukas naman ang aking pananaw. Maaari mong tuligsain o sang-ayunan ang aking mga sinabi. Kahit ano, huwag ka lang manahimik.

TO English readers: Sorry but I cannot translate this in English. This post is for my fellow Filipinos. It is a political satire, criticism providing suggestions on how one can help our country despite the crises and tragedies that has befallen us, as well as to help improve the economic, political and cultural situation of the Philippines

Writing 101


Patience ... patience ... patience! That's what I've been telling myself over and over again whenever I teach my eldest kiddo with his writing. I don't have problems with him with all his subjects ... only writing!!!! Grrrr ... sometimes (oppps, a lot of time) ... I end up losing my patience and getting mad at him. But hubby reminded me of not to put too much pressure on him to write. The fact that he skipped Nursery class already since he was assessed by two schools and his learning abilities matches that of Preparatory (prep) level already. But since he doesn't know yet how to write, they cannot put him in Prep (which of course I agreed ... my kiddo might end up no liking school in the end). So patience!!!! I need patience!!!! Can you share some tips on how to's of pre-school writing?

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me

This poem made me cry ... Made me miss my two brothers who passed away already - leaving me behind to look after our parents. Missing you both ...


WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME

When tomorow starts without me
and i am not here to see ...
And if the sun should rise and find your eyes
filled with tears for me ...

I wish so much you wouldn't cry
the way you did today,
While thinking of the many things we didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,
as much as i love you ...
And each time you think of me
I know you'll miss me, too.

But when tomorrow starts without me,
please try to understand ...
That Jesus came and called my name
and took me by my hand.

And said my place was ready
in heaven far above ...
And that i'd have to leave behind
all those i dearly love.

So when tomorrow starts without me,
don't think we're far apart ...
for everytime you think of me,
I'm right here in your heart.

I so miss you both dearly ...

Dirt Devil ... Clean and Save!

5238dd240x180public

My husband and I both have 8 to 5, Monday to Friday (me with Saturdays) jobs. We leave the house at 6:30am and are usually back earliest is around seven in the evening already. We leave our four year old and 6 month old kiddos with their grandma and a babysitter. So, we only got the weekend to spend quality time with them. But how? With all the cleaning we have to do for the week-long mess our little kiddos left and the errands that we have to do ... hmmm, I thought that it's not possible. We can't afford to call up a cleaning lady ... 'coz that's way out of our budget. We've stopped using our bulky and heavy vacuum cleaner that we have at home because it consumes too much electricity and so fussy to clean the house around with the cable running after you and not being able to reach the dirty corners around the house. It's a good thing that we found a vacuum cleaner while surfing online - Dirt Devil. The first ever cordless cleaning technology with the new AccuCharge Stick Vac and Hand Vac that use 70% less energy than those existing in the market today which earned an Energy Star approval. Yey! Cleaning and saving at the same time! Now I can reach all the dirty corners of our house without fuss (no more short cables!) in no time. What's more? The AccuCharge systems protect batteries from degradation, meaning a longer battery life and effective runtime throughout its life time. It also charges two times faster now. I need not wait too long for me to be able to use it. And the time I was able to save in charging gives me more time with my kids! And what makes this save energy is the special AccuCharge Circuitry that constantly monitors the unit until the charge voltage is reached and then reduces power to a trickle charge to complete and maintain the charge. This results in a reduction of energy consumption by 70%! So, buy one now - Clean and Save at the same time!
