What Happens if Facebook is in Real Life



Facebook is probably the most common and the most popular networking site today.  Almost everybody who knows how to use the internet, have a facebook. Even a 6-year old child can join. There is no age limit. Take a look on this funny video i found on Youtube. It was hilariously done and everything in it is so true, that everybody - with Facebook - can relate. The problem, on my opinion, about having a Facebook account is the issue on privacy. Everybody can put every secret you have. They can either put your secret through their status update or even tag you in a photo and share it to everybody. There is no wrong about having a facebook account. The only problem is about how we tend to make use of it. Facebook actually can help us on our daily lives. On facebook, we can do business here. We can post our business and makes our business grow and be known easily through this networking site.

On the other hand, Facebook has it's negative side, that is if we do it in a wrong way. Since everybody can join and no age limit is required, child pornography is one of the biggest problem with networking sites. These children, unknowingly and innocently post their pictures, probably half-naked (since they're just children), post it on their account. And these pedophiles take advantage out of it. Also, the other big problem with having a networking site like facebook is the issue on posting your personal shoutouts and telling the world about it. There even was one incident that the wife was killed by his husband just because of the first's status update.

There's actually a lot of good things and must be thankful of about having a facebook account. The only sad part is, we tend to mix it with our wrong doings. Facebook is made to create a connection with the people that is dear to us and has been separated to us. If we just be able to know the good things and use it on the right way, there would be no problem, at all! Happy Facebooking!

On Kris' promise to go abroad: Walk the Talk:

What Kris Aquino said during the height of the "walk-out" incident with Ruffa Gutierrez, was very funny and must not be taken seriously. I personally don't like Kris Aquino but what she said about going abroad is a very funny thing and i don't want her go. She said it one time that she will leave the country whenever her brother Noynoy Aquino wins the presidency and that if she makes issues week after week when they are in Malacanang. In fairness to what she said, she'll only leave when she "makes an issue".


I laughed so hard seeing in the newspaper that Lolit Solis, the TV showbiz host, always reminds the public about what she said. Again, personally, i think Kris would not do what she  promised. Some even speculated that she'll do the Miriam Santiago thing. I won't be surprised if one day she'll say on national TV that "she lied". I don't even want Kris to go out of the country because i want to see what crazy and scandalous things she'll do with her brother's administration. I even read an article before about Kris' future in her brother's administration. The author predicted that Kris will become Noynoy's spokesperson and that every interview with her would be like a showbiz scene. She'll also be her brother's image consultant. All these are only predictions. A funny prediction.


In facebook, there even were a lot of mushrooming number of fanpages asking for Kris' departure. The people didn't forget what she said on national TV. They even started to collect 1.00php each for her departure. They'll even go with at the airport to really make sure she'll take the flight! Philippine showbiz is a very funny industry.

Learn on Nitric Oxide Supplements to Get Ripped Fast, Is it Safe?

 Many athletes nowadays add Nitric Oxide to their work-outs to have that freshly-look "out-from-the-gym" pump. Nitric Oxide is essential to our body to carry out key physiological processes within the body. Nitric oxide is produced in the body by an enzyme called nitric oxide synthase, which converts the amino acid L-arginine to nitric oxide and L-citrulline. It helps the blood to flow easily in the body. Nitric oxide is now thought to play a role in blood pressure regulation, control of blood clotting, immune defense, digestion, the senses of sight and smell, and possibly learning and memory. As everybody requires the NO (Nitric Oxide) in the body, too much dosage of it, together with any amino containing product like the L-arginine, can cause diarrhea, nausea and weakness. But signs of deficiency is physical weakness and fatigue.

But in the athletes' point of view, Nitric Oxide helps them to build muscle fast.  Muscle builders use these as a supplement. Since NO is a neurotransmitter in our body, it is used to send signals in our blood vessels which tell them to relax and to widen. This allows increased blood flow to organs and, importantly for us, all our muscles. People who do exercise without taking any  NO supplements, can also obtain that rock-hard, vein-popping freshly-out-from-the-gym look but is only temporary. And to some muscle builders who maintain NO as their pre-supplement before pumping up their muscles, can obtain that rock-hard muscles a lot longer than those who doesnt take it as a pre-supplement. Since there has not been an established dosing of NO, taking a small dosage for one week and recording every side effects is recommended.Then increase the intake of the dosage until you get the benefits are maximized and the side effects are minimized.




In general, Nitric Oxide is used by serious muscle builders to get ripped fast to get that insane muscle growth, strength and endurance. But it is also advised not to exceed on the recommended dosage.

But to a beginner muscle builder who doesn't use NO as their pre-supplement, it is also better if you focus on what you are doing. Do the right thing in maintaining your body mass and weight. Here are some points on how to have that desired body and how get ripped fast without taking any NO as a supplement.




  • Be Prepared To Train Hard.
  • Train With Weights and Focus On Compound, Free Weight Movements.
  • Track Your Progress In The Gym From Week To Week
  • Avoid Overtraining
  • Eat More Frequently.
  • Increase Your Protein Intake.
  • Increase Your Water Intake.
  • Be Consistent!
  • Take The Right Supplements.
  •  Mix up your body-building routine!  
 Although NO is an essential compound in our body, taking it in the right amount and dosage is recommended. We should not over-take the dosage since it can also be harmful. Again, muscle builders can obtain that rock-hard look by taking NO as a pre-supplement but doing the natural way in obtaining the desired muscle is, again, recommended.

Think Green!

After the election campaign period in the Philippines, one common sight is the improper disposal of wastes particularly papers. At the polling precincts, what you is campaign paraphernalia mostly of papers.They haven't thought of the outcome especially on how to dispose such wastes. The candidates should have also consider that beforehand.

Global Warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface. The warming of the world was recorded since the mid 20th century and until now. If you could feel the today's weather is so different even for just two to three years ago. In the Philippines, since it's a tropical country, the weather is warm but this summer, the hottest recorded  temperature reached to 37 degrees. The hot condition of the weather in the Philippines is also triggered by the el nino phenomenon.



Many would ask, what are the main factors in Global Warming? There are many principles that contribute to the warming of the Earth's surface. The biggest factor is the coal emission. We have been using oil as the main source for energy but we haven't really thought of the possible outcome it would cause. Many activists, particularly the Greenpeace, really opposed in large consumption of the of the coal and oil. They also have asked the government heads to tackle the issues regarding the coal companies. In the Philippines, they even asked our government for the closure of the coal power company which generates large income. 

The second factor is the deforestation which is a common scenario in some tropical countries, especially the Philippines, Brazil, and some South African and American tropical countries. Since trees is the main source of making papers, large paper industries doesn't think of the great effect it would cause. Yes, we have heard them saying they replace every cut-down trees but didn't they think that a fully-matured tree reaches up to many  years to grow? Also, trees provide us the source of oxygen which also cools us down. But without trees, carbon dioxide which is exhausted by humans and animals, contribute more to the warming of the earth.

There are some natural factors that contributes to the earth's warming, some of these are the solar-flaring and the distance of the earth to the sun. But there's nothing we can do to the natural forces but on the factors that are human-made, yes there is! We can do a lot of changes in our earth's temperature. 

Just like what happened in the Philippine electorate, many politicians who ran for the office didn't mind of the outcome of their political campaign. They left a large number of papers which in fact can be recycled. As of the moment, many environment-conscious groups collected the paper for recycling. Just imagine how many trees that we could save if we just recycle waste papers. We just haven't helped the environment, we also helped the economy by conserving.

Hemodialysis Session 2nd Video



My second post on my hemodialysis session as prepared and inserted  by, again, Ms Zaira Oco of CUMC.

Team Willie or Team Jobert?

Power Tripping?


Plastic talaga si Willie Revillame, akalain nyo, sinabi pa niyang walang puli-pulitika pero siya mismo naka-orange! What is he trying to imply on that? He also defended their contestants saying that all people from different walks of life can join the game show and must be respected since they are special! Binibigyan daw nila ng halaga! Ano? Eh, siya mismo kung manlait parang halos walang katapusan! Kahit na wala siya, Wowowee can still and will still be able to continue the show. Andami kayang ibang mas magagaling na Hosts. Hindi dapat magmagaling si Willie kasi kahit na sabihin natin malaki ang income ng Wowowee, hindi naman galing sa kanya yun. Galing yun sa mga OFW at mga sponsor. Kung tutuusin, wala naman talaga siyang naibubuga.

 Jobert Sucaldito


 Willie Revillame

Dapat ding respetuhin ni Willie ang mga opinyon lalo na kung galing sa iyung kritiko. Yung critics kasi, kahit sang station ka pa, kahit na pareho pa kayo kung ayaw ka niya, ikaw talaga ang titirahin. You just have to accept na lang. 

If i were the management of ABS, i would definitely not listen to what Willie would ask. He's just too arrogant to threat the management, who gave him the support and job during his downtime. It's true that he's testing his powers over the management. Why not fire him instead? To think there are already mushrooming number of fanpages on facebook for ousting Willie on TV. There are even a lot of members wanting Willie to resign and not show on TV again than members of wanting PGMA to resign! So funny but true.

Korina gets Booed!

I read one time on a newspaper saying Korina Sanchez, the TV-anchor-turned-politician's-wife (and probably a soon-to-be-first-lady if Mar Roxas, his husband wins the election tomorrow), got booed on a Tear for Fears concert at Araneta Coliseum. I did not really pay any attention on the said issue since it's just a small matter, "no big deal", as they would say. 


Just this evening, my friend, Nayz pinged me on Facebook chat about the nonsense issue. She asked me to write an article about it so i hurriedly  pieced every stories from different websites about it and, boy, was i wrong! The stories, as i get more and more information, got more interesting. I searched on Youtube for the said controversial video and there! I found one.

Below is the video which shows the flashing of Korina's hand with "L" sign which stands for his husband's political party, the Laban. As the camera flashed her with her "L" hand, that was when she got booed! But she denied all of it!

The said incident was posted on twitter with TJ Manotoc's (a reporter of ABS-CBN) account. He said, "For those asking, korina was shown when TFF was off d stage. So dey showed people in d crowd going nuts screaming. She also did d Laban sign." 

There were even more hilarious comments about the issue and according to Spot.ph, one twitter account user tweeted that, "Nice to see that Korina was booed in ‘her’ own coliseum. Hehehe."

Immediately, Korina asked for a presscon and said she wasn't booed! She didn't even know the camera was on her. But the video proves every move Korina did. She even flashed her hand twice for the Laban sign. Take a look on the video.

Korina Showing her "L" hands

I thought this whole issue is not for a laughing matter. This should be respected since the person involved is a respected journalist. But then again, for Christ's sake! This is a concert which is meant for people to enjoy. Not to "flash" your political color! I also feel so disappointed on what Korina did about asking for a presscon to make a lie about it.  It's not an appropriate thing to do for a  career-woman. So, what do you think about the incident?

Sleep Deprivation and some Sleeping Tips

On my previous entry, i wrote an article about Restless Leg Syndrome which is a not-so-common problem relating sleep. On the last part, i promised to give some tips on how to have a good night (or even day) sleep - without the pills or such - the natural way. And with that, i found an article about it on a newspaper's entertainment section. 

The article only pointed out 5 important tips to promote a good sleep (it's actually more than 5 but since the newspaper is only a tabloid, that's probably the reason they shortened it). But anyhow, the tips, if followed can give you the sleep you wanted. To start with,
  • Have a regular routine. What does that mean? That means you have to set your biological clock - sleeping and waking up on the same regular time. For example, set your sleeping time at around 8 pm (or the time you probably would fall asleep easily because some people couldn't sleep after this particular time) and regularly wake up at around 7 am. Do this daily and you'll notice it's not a hard thing to do. Just have your regular set of time for sleeping and waking up.
  • Don't eat too much on a supper. Avoid eating a very heavy meal during night time and when you're about to sleep because your digestive system keeps you awake and active as it digests your food.
  • Look for the most comfortable sleeping area. If you can't sleep easily, it's advisable to find another sleeping area where you think is much comfortable and can let you sleep. On my part, if i think my bed is uncomfortable for me, i tend to sleep on the couch and believe it or not, it's the most reliable resting place i've had next to my bed. Second option, 'ika nga.
  • Always maintain the silence and orderliness of the place where you sleep. The silence of the room gives calmness and the the orderliness gives harmony. If you have these two in your room, you'll easily fall asleep.
  • Stop whatever you're doing. Whatever it is, stop it. It's a false idea that doing something before you sleep can  make you doze off. For example, writing, reading a book, and some small chores, can let you stay awake because it makes your mind active.
People with lack of sleep can likely to have a hypertension, diabetes, an impaired immune system and some diseases. I have here a picture of some diseases we'll likely to acquire if we lack sleep.



Not everybody can sleep regularly. I, myself, have a sleeping problem (the RLS which is worsen by insomnia) which i really hate. I always say this that i envy those sleepy-heads who sleeps earlier than me. Just don't abuse your health. Remember that health is wealth.

Restless Leg Syndrome

A person can survive a few weeks without eating but a person without sleep can likely survive a week. That's what i read from a certain article about sleeping problem. I was alarmed when i read this one because i dont have a regular sleep - at all! I only have at least 6 hours a day and that's the maximum i can get unless i take something that helps me to. I have a pill that helps me sleep and that makes me feel dizzy a bit then feel dozy and then there, sleep like a baby. I love taking that pill but it's not actually a sleeping pill. It's just a tablet that calms my nerves. My doctor prescribed that to me because i have a restless leg syndrome which happens usually at night or even while you're resting - as in doing nothing. That tingling sensation which is so annoying attacks whenever i just sit down, watch a movie, ride a bus or even just reading but that sensation usually attacks at night when you're about to sleep.

 

Video of a person with RLS

Some people doesn't mind this kind of feeling but for some, this can be a problem. Why? Because you tend to stay awake the whole night, most probably, and in the morning you tend to feel sleepy because you lack of sleep the night before. Some already knew how to handle this kind of situation. They just let somebody massage the tingling part (which is usually on the lower extremities, like on the ankle and the foot area) but the relief is just only temporary. After a few minutes, the sensation comes back. I, on my part, had to ask the person massaging to stay awake with me just to lightly massage the affected area. I already explained this to them and, thankfully, they understand. So, this is the reason i don't have to miss a single dose. 



I can't say the name of the product here since this entry is not really for the purpose of advertising the product. The reason i want to post this blog is for everyone to know how important sleep is. For those who can sleep normally, you have to thank God for it because it's not everybody can sleep at least 8 hours daily. I would say, im deprived of sleep and i always envy those who sleeps early than me. Not to mention, i also have an insomnia which also worsen my RLS (restless leg syndrome). I usually doze off after 3 am and i hate that!

On my next blog entry, i will post the easy tips on how to have a goodnight sleep -  the normal way. But for now, i have to go and leave you a good night sleep!
