Health is indeed wealth

Jan 20th, 2012 by

The more we age, the slower our metabolism gets, so it’s always best to be careful of what we eat if we want to get rid of excess fats and stay fit. But who could resist a good dessert? The sight of sweets and chocolates are just so inviting you just could not say no to it. Not to mention of course the amount of sugar you get from sodas when you eat out. Good thing there are desserts without the sugar. They look and taste as good, but a lot healthier.

This year I have resolved to be a lot more fit, so it always pays to be more mindful of what I eat. Like they say, “health is wealth”—I couldn’t agree more!

Going Abroad

Jan 16th, 2012 by

Everyday literally thousands of Filipinos board those international flights to go find “greener pastures” abroad. In aw ay it’s a good thing because having overseas workers would mean income to our country, but the downside of this is that we are losing our professionals to other countries.

Inasmuch as many of them would want to stay on, there are also pressing needs in their families, making them decide to work overseas. Many friends of ours who work abroad have funny stories of bumping into Filipinos in least expected places and times. English teachers are in demand in Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam, you would see metal workers working on steel buildings in Canada and Australia, and many nurses in the Middle East and even in Western countries.

So many Filipinos are doing very well in their jobs, making us proud of course. I don’t know if I would ever consider working abroad. That is such a major decision and would definitely need careful planning.. But then again, who knows, right?

Fighting for their lives from cancer

Jan 5th, 2012 by

Earlier today I just learned that an FB friend (whom I met during sister-in-law’s wedding more than 2 years ago) was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. It’s a Cancer – that’s all I know – after reading his status in FB. He’s too young to have that Big C. How sad! If I were on his shoes or if I were his wife, I don’t know if I can handle such health challenge. I do hope and pray he will be healed as he is scheduled for a chemotherapy next week.

I remember those kids in a certain cancer treatment center. I felt so bad for them. At an early age, they have to go through different procedures and treatments. Instead of playing in the street with their neighborhood kids. Instead of enjoying the RC cars, Remote Control Boats, Barbie, Dolls, and other toys, they are staying in hospital beds and fighting for their lives. So sad! I hope and pray those kids will enjoy their childhood even for a short period.
