Enjoy your Life while you can

When is the last time you pamper yourself? Did you ever try to do somethings that you love to do but others don't? Did you ever treat yourself for your own pleasure? Well if you do, then i say, you are enjoying and living your life almost perfect.
But wait! How about the feelings? Are you happy with those achievements and experiences that you had? As for me, enjoying life is not always what we had, we went, we bought, and we did. Enjoying life simply is to be happy, to be loved and not hurting others. For me, I always prefer to be nice even those who are rude to me not because they are not nice but because I am nice. Why? because i chooses to have a light conscience and no burden. It doesn't matter if someone's rude to me as long as I'm not doing anything wrong against them.
If you knew that you are not harming others, You will feel the beauty of life indeed. You are free of any doubts and fears that someone might harm you in return. How to avail this? Do your best to love your fellowmen in any case. Don't condemn. Be open minded and learn to understand any situation.
No fights, no fears, no anger, only peace in your heart. That`s how you must enjoy your life. In return, you will never feel regrets about it.
We should always live our life to the fullest because we only have one. Don't make any decisions that later makes you miserable. Remember, a mistake that has only done with a minute or even a second, can make you suffer for a long time or even worst, lifetime...

"Silence" doesn`t always means "Yes"

Sometimes, when someone`s arguing with you and asked or accused you with something and you just keep quiet, they automatically conclude that the thing they are accusing is true. But most of the time, it is misinterpret.
Being quiet has lots of reasons. We must remove in our minds that silence means yes. There are some people who just keep quiet for their own peace. Some only want to be quiet to stop the argument and to refrain it to a bigger problem. Some just don`t want to be involved and some, because of fear. Yes, because of fear. Although there are so many reasons why they remain silent, most of the time, the main reason is fear. Fear for them to be interrogated further, fear for their lives, fear for them to speak for the truth because of some circumstances like:for the safeness of their love ones, for involving powerful persons, for their own lives and for their freedom.
Though telling the truth is right, are you aware that telling the truth is much harder and tougher than lying? Well, most of the time, it is, specially when you are nice enough and thinking for the expenses of others, nice enough that you don`t want to hurt anyone despite of the truth that you must say. But truth must prevail specially when lots are involved and they need someone to speak up for their lives to get back.

Write your thoughts, express your mind

Make yourself comfortable when writing. Stay in a cool, relaxing, and silent place for you to concentrate. Peaceful place helps you a lot in writing because you can easily think and can easily imply the feeling that you want to bring out. Write what you feel, what you want, your fantasies, goals and achievement. After that you will be grateful for what you have.

an elegant investment

Precious accessories are not only stylish but increase their value in the long run



What you buy can actually be a reflection on how you value yourself. Some indulge in clothes, some in shoes. Buying handbags can be addicting for others, for men, we`re talking about watches, shades, cars, you name it. For some women, it`s jewelry-beautiful, sparkling, sometimes mouthwatering jewelry.
It`s really a good investment,unlike with other things, branded bags for example, they depreciate. But jewelry, it has potential to appreciate in value. and one more thing, a lady should really invest in jewelries because jewels simply give more elegance.

CORY: an icon, a hero, and a mother

Till these days, Filipinos are still mourning for the death of the late President Corazon "Cory" Aquino. Knowing that she contributed a lot in our country, she did more than that. She brought back the freedom of our land. She fought for the rights of her people without using violence but instead, faith and belief for God. She served her country to her last breath.
I never knew someone who`s in the position but didn`t take advantage to any advantage that she might get. In other terms, "uncorrupt". Yes, she got all the powers but never indeed used in a wrong way. She was a very strong, brilliant and saluted woman who keeps her feet on the ground and always thinks of others. An unselfish creation of God who serves well and serves as a mother to anyone.
I have a four year old daughter who`s watching with my mother-in-law during the wake of the late President and i was so surprised when i saw her crying so I asked her why? "Why are you crying baby? something`s wrong?" she answered me back " I`m crying mom because I`m sad", I asked again why she`s sad and would you believe what she answered?"I`m sad because Cory is dead, she`s a good person", and she cried out loud. Even a four year old girl is aware of how good and important that person to everyone.
She was one of a kind. Despite of the pain and the suffering that she`d encountered, still, she`s much more interested and concerned to the other people than herself. She never complains, demands and ask for anything indulging her, instead, worried and cared for the others. Now, how can we recover from the lost of a hero, a mother, and a friend? How can we go on without our mother of freedom? When will we feel the ungreedy service of a leader again but instead the tenderness and sincereness of it? I just hope we will find a leader as simple and devoted as her. And I pray that It will be soon. That`s what we badly need now.

Meningitis-the fact

There are two types of meningitis, viral and bacterial. And one of the rare form of bacterial meningitis is meningococcal septicaemia. It`s a life threatening condition which needs urgent treatment because the results can be devastating. One in seven survivors is left with a disability such as deafness, and for one in 10 cases the disease is fatal. Early detection could make all the difference and reduce the death rate by 50 percent.
Viral meningitis is much more common and can often go unreported, as the symptoms can be similar to flu. It is not usually life-threatening, but any suspected meningitis cases should be taken extremely seriously and it can take over six months to make a full recovery. If you develop three or more of the following symptoms, see your GP immediately.

* lack of energy or general flu-like symptoms
* high temperature
* severe headaches
* sensitivity to lights
* vomiting
* Irritability
* drowsiness
* joint pains
* neck stiffness

In cases if septicaemia, there may also be diarrhea, stomach pains and a sore throat. With meningococcal septicaemia, a rash can appear anywhere on the body, although this doesn`t always occur. This rash looks like tiny pinpricks of blood-like bruising under the skin. If the rush doesn`t turn whitish when you press a glass across it, seek medical advice immediately.
