Lying? When?

A minister told his congregation, "Next week I plan to preach about the sin of lying. To help you understand my sermon, I want you all to read Mark 17."

The following Sunday, as he prepared to deliver his sermon, the minister asked for a show of hands. He wanted to know how many had read Mark 17.

Every hand went up.
The minister smiled and said, "Mark has only 16 chapters. I will now proceed with my sermon on the sin of lying."


..........NOTE......
           (for me)

Ang pagsisinungaling ay kasalanan na hindi maiiwasan, may mga bagay na mahirap aminin kung kaya napipilitan na magsinungaling ang isang tao. Ngunit minsan ay kailangan mong pangatawanan ang mga pinagsinungalingan mo. Sa pagiging pranka, hindi maiiwasan na masasaktan mo ang damdamin ng mga tao sa paligid mo. Masakit ngunit totoo, mas maiging sinaktan mo siya dahil sinabi mo ang totoo, kaysa sa napangiti mo siya sa isang kasinungalingan.


May mga bagay na dapat malaman ang isang tao na hindi niya pwedeng basta basta na lamang ipagkakalat at ipagyayabang. Lahat ay may pantay pantay na karapatan na ipahayag ang mga saloobin ngunit sadyang marupok at mapangahas ang mga tao. Minsan ay gumagawa siya ng mga bagay nang hindi pinag-iisipan kung ano ang kahihinatnan at kung anu-ano at sinu-sino ang madadamay sa mga kalalabasan, kung ito ba ay makabubuti o makakasama.

        Kahalintulad ng isang guro na naatasang magsiwalat at magpalaganap ng mga wastong kaalaman ngunit sa likod ng bawat edukasyon na kanyang ipinamamahagi ay ang mga lihim na mula pa nun bata pa siya ay pinakatagu-tago na niya at kahit kanino ay di niya ninais ipaalam.
          Nahihirapan na marahil ang iba kung kaya sa ihip ng tadhana ay natutumba at bumibigay sila. Bagaman pinagtibay sila ng kanilang pananalig ,silay tiyak na magagapi sapagkat ang nakatayo sa altar ng kanilang paniniwala ay ang mga pekeng panginoon, na nangingintab sa ginto na sinamsam nila sa mga tangang sumasamba sa kanila, na patuloy na nabubulag sa mga kunwaring tulong at kalingang inilalaan sa kanila ng mga hangal na panginoon. Ang tenga ng panginoon nila ay banat at unat na kunwari ay pinakikinggan ang lahat ng nasasakupan ngunit ang katotohanay matagal na silang bingi.Nabingi sila sa kalansing ng pera na ibinulsa nila galing sa kaban ng mga taong tunay na nagmamay-ari ng kayamanan. Ninakaw nila ang barya na pinaghirapan ng mga aba kung kanilang tawagin. Baryang dugot pawis ang pinuhunan upang kamitin ang kakaunting barya na umaakit  sa mga sakim na bayani-kuno ng lansangan  na pangunahing kutong ng lansangan. kutong nga ba? marahil kutong nga? siguro nga kutong. sige na nga kutong nga talaga.
          Bakit nga ba hindi nagtataka ang mga kaanib ng mga pinunong ito kung bakit ang kahirapan ay tila institusyon na, na kung ayaw mong makibagay ay tiyak na mahuhuli ka sa lipunan. Ngunot ang lubhang nakapagtataka ay kung bakit ang mga dukha, kahit anong pagpapagal ang gagawin ay tila nakatali na ang buhay sa haligi ng kahirapan at kung bakit ang mga mayayaman ay animoy  nakajet patungo sa tagumpay.
Ano nga ba ang kulang? Alin nga ba ang mali?
Sino ang hindi kumikilos? Sino ang dapat sisihin at sino ang dapat mamulat?
Simulan mo sa sarili mo kaibigan  ko.


Minsan, mas maigi na itago mo na lang ang mga opinyon mo kaysa sa sabihin mo ito at maging sanhi ng isang magulong usapan.

Alin ang mahirap gawin, ang magsinungaling ka sa sarili mo o ang magsinungaling ka sa kapwa mo.
Kailan nga ba dapat maging pranka at kailan nga ba dapat maging tahimik na lang?
Tulad ng pakikisama, bakit kailangan mong ngumiti at makipag-usap sa tao na hindi mo naman gusto kausapin? Kasi nakikisama ka at ayaw mo ng gulo. Ayaw mo ng awkwardness sa pagitan ng grupo.  Ngunit agsisinungaling ka sa sarili mo. Pinipilit mo ang sarili mo sa bagay na hindi mo naman gusto.
Ngunit alam mong iyon ang ikabubuti ng lahat.

Ang mundo ay umiiikot para sa lahat, kaya nararapat lang na bawat kilos at salita natin ay nakaayon sa damdamin ng pangkalahatang madla. Dahil sa bawat masayang kabayo ay  katumbas ng umiiyak na damo. Korny no?....Marahil nga, ngunit ang buhay sa mundo ay isang malaking give and take relationship. May mga pagkakataon na kailangan mong magparaya para sa ikasasaya ng iba. At minsan, kailangan mong apakan ang iba para makatayo ka. Sabi nga nila na hindi mo kailangang mang-apak ng damdamin ng iba para makaangat ka sa buhay. Ngunit hindi mo maiiwasan na may masasaktan sa bawat hakbang na gagawin mo upang mga-usad ka sa buhay.#

sick?

Are you feeling weird about your self? Are you thinking that you are nuts to feel something wrong or react differently hen you are in a certain situation? I got this on my email and Im happy enough to share this to you from rdasia.com.

Hanger
 Do you start to feel positively witchy when a too-long meeting makes you eat lunch an hour later than usual? You’re probably "hangry", a new phrase folks are using to describe hunger-related mood swings, according to MSNBC.com. When blood sugar levels dip too low, according to the site, the body’s ability to process the brain chemical serotonin is affected, resulting in crabbiness, anger, and a low threshold for frustration.



E-Book Moments
The theory that people remember less of what they read from digital books (on iPads and Kindles) than from paper-based books, as coined by Time magazine. Some experts believe that reading on paper provides more opportunities for memorizing and retaining information because you can relate words to their location on the page (left side, right side, near a chart, etc.), which helps cement the material in your mind.


Tight Pants Syndrome
A cluster of symptoms—including abdominal pain, heartburn, and reflux a few hours after meals—that predominantly affects overweight men who wear poor-fitting pants with too-tight waistlines, according to ABC News Medical Unit. Doctors are also seeing a comparable version in women, in which skinny jeans can contribute to pelvic pain, yeast infections, and itching. Bottom line: Don’t suffer too much for beauty’s sake, advises Orly Avitzur, MD, a Tarrytown, NY-based neurologist. If it hurts to wear a new trend or a too-tight favorite piece of clothing, skip it.



Surgeon Enthusiasm
The measure of how likely a surgeon is to recommend an operation for a condition that can be treated in other ways. A recent study suggested that this eagerness helps explain why surgery rates for back problems and other tough-to-treat ills vary wides across the country: You're almost 25 times more likely to get spinal fusion in Idaho Falls, Idaho, for instance, than in Bangor, Maine. (Source: Study in the journal Spine.)


Decision Fatigue
The notion that the mental work of making decisions over and over again can warp your judgment and lead to poor choices. In one example, an Israeli study found that judges granted more parole requests early in the day than they did after making a series of rulings. According to the New York Times, "the more choices you make throughout the day, the harder each one becomes for your brain."


Thirdhand Smoke
It sticks around for hours, days or even months after a cigarette is smoked: a residue of toxins (lead, cyanide, and arsenic among them) that clings to virtually all surfaces in a room, a car , and other enclosed spaces long after the smoke is gone. Researchers have found that thirdhand smoke can combine with nitrous acid, a common indoor air pollutant, to form a carcinogen that can be inhaled by anyone in a room. (Source: Study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.)




Self-Compassion
You have it if you're as kind and understanding about your own shortcomings as you are about a friend's. It's a hot topic in psychology, the New York Times reports, and the focus of two new books: Self-Compassion: Stop beating Yourself Up and Leave Insecurity Behind, by Kristin Neff, PhD, and The Self-Compassion Diet, by Harvard psychotherapist Jean Fain. "Self-compassion is the missing ingredient in every diet and weight-loss plan, " Dr. Fain told the Times.



Broga
Attention, downward-facing dudes. You may not know it yet, but you're practicing broga: yoga for men with strength-building moves—and without the chanting. Namaste, man


Sweatworking
Forget the martinis: One way to impress clients today is to get them spinning—at the gym, that is. Can't come to terms? Box it out, and close the deal in the steam room.


Coregasm
You may want to wait on this one till you get home. Forty percent of women in a survey experienced exercise induced orgasms on more than ten occasions. Kind of makes you want to sit up and take notice!

Going back to school?....read this

Ah, you're sick of your school bus being late everyday? Or you dont like the new driver your parents hired. Whatever it is that you are complaining about your daily commute to the school, you should learn to thank that you are sitting their going to school with the less danger you can think of. Unlike these unlucky ones who needs to face the danger just to go to school.


                                             Los Pinos zip wire, Colombia

Forget the perils of bullies on the school bus—for the children of Los Pinos, 
a village in the Colombian jungle, the trip to and from class holds rather more dramatic dangers. With their settlement cut off from neighboring communities by a 1,200-foot-deep gorge that takes two hours to walk around, the kids get across using 1,300-foot zip wires.

Every morning, around a dozen of them arrive at the launch pad, armed with their own pulley, 
rope and—crucially—a piece of wood to use as a brake so they don’t slam into the tires on the other side at 40mph. Smaller pupils are bundled into hessian sacks and tied to older children.

Some 60 adults brave the trip daily, too, often transporting supplies. Nobody knows what the zips’ weight limits are, but locals have carried animals, large food parcels and even furniture across, and the steel cables haven’t broken. Yet.

                                               Hussaini Bridge, Pakistan

 If there’s one thing worse than navigating a rickety wooden suspension bridge, it’s having to do so while looking at its broken predecessor dangling alongside. But that’s the routine of villagers in Hussaini, northern Pakistan, who need to cart firewood, crops and livestock across the 635-foot-long structure to reach their farmland.

A strong gust of wind lifted up the old bridge a couple of years ago, then smashed it back down, dislodging most of the slats and rendering it useless. But the new bridge hasn’t had an easy time of it, either. A recent landslide caused the water levels of the Hunza River below to rise so much that the bridge was submerged for weeks. Indeed, even under normal conditions, the Hunza is no gentle stream. To put it bluntly, if you fell 
off the bridge into the rapid-riddled torrent, you wouldn’t be sculling to safety.

Locals try to keep the bridge patched up as best they can, relying on bits of wood, twine—and hope. But it’s still not so much a serious river crossing as something resembling an Indiana Jones film set—or possibly the Bridge of Death in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

                                                 Yungas Road, Bolivia

This mountain pass is also known as El Camino de la Muerte, or “the Road of Death”
—and the nickname’s not a jokey exaggeration. Up to 250 people a year have been killed on this 38-mile-long stretch since it was carved into the mountainside in the 1930s and became a key route for trucks traveling from Bolivia’s capital La Paz to rain forest settlements in the north.

The road is about as wide as a dining table is long—not ideal when you’re trying to creep a truck round a hairpin bend with a 3,000-foot sheer drop on one side. Add a smattering of landslides, torrential rain, and another truck coming in the other direction (even if there is the occasional narrow passing place), and suddenly your local highway seems much more palatable.

Since 2006, a less-dangerous bypass has provided an alternative to the worst parts of the route. But, even so, the memorial crosses and floral tributes that appear at regular intervals along the Yungas Road show that it remains far from accident free.

                                 Yakutsk, Russia

When it’s freezing cold outside, the thought of leaving your warm bed and waiting on a frigid train platform can fill even the hardiest with dread. So spare a thought for commuters in the eastern Siberian city 
of Yakutsk—they regularly have to brave temperatures below minus -49°F.

Just starting a car in such conditions can, of course, prove impossible (wealthier residents use heated garages that cost around $32,000—some four times the average annual salary). But if travelers manage that, they then have to brave roads that are so thickly coated in ice that winter tires are little help. There are dozens of accidents each week, as cars skate across junctions and career off roads.

Waiting too long at the bus stop can be fatal, too—especially for older people, who can quickly develop respiratory problems. And permafrost means an underground tube system is out. The city will finally be linked to Russia’s over-ground rail network late this year, though, so at least residents will find it easier to get away.

                                        Tokyo rail system, Japan

You know a city’s got transport issues when it’s coined a specific phrase, tsukin jigoku, 
to describe “commuter hell”.

And Tokyo’s commuter lingo doesn’t stop there—or get much cheerier. White-gloved train pushers, known as oshiya, are employed to cram the rail network’s 8.7 million daily passengers into carriages. Meanwhile, sleazy travelers who take advantage of the cramped situation are labeled chikan—loosely translated as “train gropers”. As well as being sex pests, they also create paranoia. A girl recently caused chaos in 
a carriage by spraying Mace at a number of innocent businessmen after she’d unwittingly straddled a clarinet case.

The fact that there are plans to reduce Tokyo’s train capacity to 150 per cent in the next two years demonstrates the extent of the city’s problem. The Tōzai Metro line frequently operates at 199 per cent capacity. Passengers 
can just about grasp a newspaper, but there’s no chance of holding it up and reading it.

                                           Beijing, China

Singer Katie Melua claims that there are “nine million bicycles in Beijing”, but it’s the five million cars she wants to worry about. Even in crowded international capitals like London, where rush-hour traffic crawls along at under 10mph, there are just three million cars—or 432 cars per square mile. In Beijing, that figure is 1,226 and, though Beijing is half the size of London, the average commuting time is around 12 minutes longer at 52 minutes.

The Chinese capital’s economic growth over the last decade or so has resulted in 1,900 new vehicles on the road each day, and poor public transport doesn’t provide much of an alternative. What’s more, you don’t get ahead in a country of 1.3 billion people by waiting your turn, so a traffic jam on a two-lane highway can quickly turn into four-lane gridlock as drivers nose into gaps.

Last August, a jam starting in Beijing grew into a 60-mile tailback that stretched all the way to Inner Mongolia and lasted nine days. For now, investing in a pair of sneakers and walking to work is probably the best option.

charge to experience

If you fail, never just take it as failure, always put in mind that from it you will learn something. Like after waking up all night to study for your exam, you ended up sleeping whole day long which lead you to miss your exam. Lesson is, study day by day, slowly and shortly but surely. So you wont have to cram on your exam days.

Here are some examples you should take a read too. Its alright to laugh.

"When holding a DVD in one hand and food in the other, remember which hand has what when you take a bite."

"When running errands where one stop involves going to a bank and one involves dropping off a firearm, drop off the firearm first."

"If you’re prone to impulse purchases, stick to shoes, not tattoos."

"When attending a funeral, never clap after the eulogy, regardless of how meaningful and heartfelt it was."



When buying, also remember this;

"Can you tell me who the author of Shakespeare is?"

"I’m looking for a book, but I only know the title, not the author. It’s called Dante’s Inferno."

"I definitely don’t want nonfiction. I like autobiographies and history."

"Do you have Shakespeare in English?"

"Can I buy colgate, I like that red Close-up."




..at amusement


My friend was working at an amusement park when a couple stopped him. “Excuse me,” said the woman, pointing to a pond. “What is that water made out of?”
Bemused, my friend replied, “Two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen.”
“See?” she said to her boyfriend. “I told you it wasn’t real.”



All those things are done mistakenly once. Dont ever do a mistake twice or it cant be a mistake anymore. It could be a sign of something you might not like.

stress management

Stress is a normal part of life and usually comes from everyday occurrences.

  Nobody is exempted from them, here's how to compromised;
1. Get rid of them.
       If you don't like something and it just wont stay out of your way then avoid it. Instead of getting irritated because you hate a non-attentive employee in a certain store, try talking to her what you like her to do, or better don't go pay on a counter where she is attending. If your sandwich maker spoils your breakfast mood by always burning your sandwich or making it half-done, go change it.

2. Write it down and plan.
       Always give your self extra time. If showering takes you 20 minutes then write 25 minutes in your time planner so you can always have spare time to insert extra things that you just suddenly like to do, like checking your pores more longer in the mirror.
If you are always late with your appointments like 10 minutes late, depart 15 minutes earlier so you don't need to hurry in case of crowded streets, and you can still have time to fix your face and aura. Relax and check the people around you while waiting instead of getting irritated, prepare for the things you might talk.

3. Know what pleases you.
       Don't take courses that you know you don't like. If a colleague invites you to an acquaintance party which requires you to forcefully smile even to people you don't know and you know you hated it. Then don't go. There's no bad in declining an invitation than saying a thing after going there.

4.Don't be afraid to be absent sometimes.
    Don't loose your welcome. People you are with wont notice you exist unless you are gone and they suddenly notice that nobody's doing the photocopier or whacking the coffee machine when its too slow pouring the coffee. If you are too tired with your job, take a vacation to charge up and you will realize that you miss your job and that complaining about it is what you are used to. Occasionally change your environment so you wont feel that life is in routine.

5. Competition and insecurities, is an avoidable source of stress.
   Stress from this kind of jealousy is self-inflicted.
     Know and love yourself. Your friends love you as who you are and not what you have become. You don't have to compete and shine from the rest. Just do your best and enjoy the race.

6. Proper management of laborsaving devices.
You have your laundry done by your mighty washing machine but it doesn't mean that you will go shopping while its working and leaving the auto vacuum cleaner clean the room while you are gone. Electronics needs to be patronize usually, getting them fixed when broken could be more stress talking to the electricians, saying terms you don't understand.
Having more electronic devices for yourself make you plan to do more things, which will just make you cram. Its not bad to have them, you just have to know how to manage  them to make work done faster and at ease.

7.One thing at a time.
Don't brush your teeth while watching television. You wont like it if you see your carpet spotted with toothpaste bubbles. Getting the work done before moving to next will help you make the work done well.


8. You are not lazy, just need to pace down.
    If you are wondering because you got nothing to do and you cant think of something to do, don't worry; instead get a book and make   your favorite juice drink. Turn on your music player and open your window curtains. Have a break.
    Enjoy your day.

9.  Self control.
              Stay your calm, always breath and count one two three before reacting to something you don't like. Look positive and think things will go your way the moment you flash your smile. Exercising and giving your self a makeover can help you build a better outlook in life. You will get sick if you think you will and you wont if you think you wont. Remember that your brain controls your whole system.

10. Seek professional help — a doctor or therapist.
       Sometimes, and usually, stress leads to many problems specially to your health.Like hair loss, lost of appetite, and many more. Getting the help of the experts will help you know well and manage well your stress problems.

Sealed With A Kiss

Written with a pen.

Sealed with a kiss.

If you are my friend,

Please answer this:

Are we friends?

Or are we not?

You told me once

But I forgot.

So tell me now

And tell me true.

So I can say....

"I'm here for you."

Of all the friends

I've ever met,

You're the one

I won't forget.

And if I die

Before you do,

I'll go to heaven

And wait for you.

I'll give the angels

Back their wings

And risk the loss

Of everything.

Just to prove my

Friendship is true..

To have a friend like you!

sealed with a kiss

The Happiness I Feel at Your Achievements

The happiness I feel at your achievements
Reflects the happiness you feel at mine.
Friends expand the pleasures of such moments,
As mine in yours, and yours in mine, combine.
The same when we look forward to our futures:
So much more unfolds when there are two!
Populating your proposed adventures
Gives me a joy that mine must give to you.
We've been through much, and will be through much more,
But traveling together is more fun.
Whatever life and love may have in store,
Two is always preferable to one.
Your graduation thus becomes my pleasure:
Your happiness is mine, a double treasure.

~ Nicholas Gordon

till death do us part

A girl and a boy
were on a motorcycle, speeding through the night. They loved each other a lot..

Girl: "slow down a little.. I'm scared.."
Boy: "No, it's so fun.."
Girl: "please..it's so scary.."
Boy: "Then say that you love me.."
Girl: "Fine..I love you..can you slow down now?"
Boy: "Give me a big hug.."

The girl gave him a big hug.

Girl: "Now can you slow down?"
Boy: "Can you take off my helmet and put it on? It's uncomfortable and its bothering me while i drive."

The next day, there was a story in the newspaper. A motorcycle had crashed into a building because its brakes were broken. There were two people on the motorcycle, of which one died, and the other had survived......

The guy knew that the brakes were broken. He didn't want to let the girl know, because he knew that the girl would have gotten scared. Instead, he was told the last time that she loved him, got a hug from
her, put his helmet on her so that she can live, and died himself...:(
---


Life is not measured by the breaths we take,
But by the moments that take our breath away..

acceptance

Lets face the truth that there are some kind of idiot like me whose so afraid to get mistakes. I do love to be corrected, but it just hurt at first. Lets face it, we can easily say that we love to be corrected, but its kinda hard to digest it at first. I know I am right, we often get mad to the people who's correcting us, but in the end, we realized that they are right. Sometimes, due to pride, we keep it ourselves and never thanks them for correcting us...

Recipe For Happiness

Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven't thought about it, don't have it on their schedule, didn't know it was coming or are too rigid to depart from their routine.

I got to thinking one day about all those women on the Titanic who passed up dessert at dinner that fateful night in an effort to cut back. From then on, I've tried to be a little more flexible.

How many women out there will eat at home because their husband didn't suggest going out to dinner until after something had been thawed? Does the word 'refrigeration' mean nothing to you?

How often have your kids dropped in to talk and sat in silence while you watched 'Jeopardy' on television?

I cannot count the times I called my sister and said, 'How about going to lunch in a half hour?' She would gas up and stammer, 'I can't. I have clothes on the line. My hair is dirty. I wish I had known yesterday, I had a late breakfast, It looks like rain.' And my personal favorite: 'It's Monday.' She died a few years ago. We never did have lunch together.

Because Americans cram so much into their lives, we tend to schedule our headaches. We live on a sparse diet of promises we make to ourselves when all the conditions are perfect!

We'll go back and visit the grandparents when we get Steve toilet-trained.. We'll entertain when we replace the living-room carpet... We'll go on a second honeymoon when we get two more kids out of college.

Life has a way of accelerating as we get older. The days get shorter, and the list of promises to ourselves gets longer. One morning, we awaken, and all we have to show for our lives is a litany of 'I'm going to,' 'I plan on,' and 'Someday, when things are settled down a bit.'

When anyone calls my 'seize the moment' friend, she is open to adventure and available for trips. She keeps an open mind on new ideas.. Her enthusiasm for life is contagious. You talk with her for five minutes, and you're ready to trade your bad feet for a pair of Roller blades and skip an elevator for a bungee cord.

My lips have not touched ice cream in 10 years. I love ice cream. It's just that I might as well apply it directly to my stomach with a spatula and eliminate the digestive process. The other day, I stopped the car and bought a triple-Decker. If my car had hit an iceberg on the way home, I would have died happy.

Now...go on and have a nice day. Do something you WANT to......not something on your SHOULD DO list. If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting?

Have you ever watched kids playing on a merry go round or listened to the rain lapping on the ground? Ever followed a butter fly's erratic flight or gazed at the sun into the fading night? Do you run through each day on the fly? When you ask ' How are you?' Do you hear the reply?

When the day is done, do you lie in your bed with the next hundred chores running through your head? Ever told your child, 'We'll do it tomorrow.' And in your haste, not see his sorrow? Ever lost touch? Let a good friendship die? Just call to say 'Hi'?

When you worry and hurry through your day, it is like an unopened gift....Thrown away..... Life is not a race Take it slower. Hear the music before the song is over.

It's National Friendship Week every week. Show your friends how much you care. Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND. If it comes back to you, then you'll know you have a circle of friends.

To those I have sent this to... I cherish our friendship and appreciate all you do.

'Life may not be the party we hoped for... But while we are here we might as well dance!'

tns for the picture..

lets grow old together

A gentle word like a spark of light,
Illuminates my soul
And as each sound goes deeper,
It's YOU that makes me whole

There is no corner, no dark place,
YOUR LOVE cannot fill
And if the world starts causing waves,
It's your devotion that makes them still

And yes you always speak to me,
In sweet honesty and truth
Your caring heart keeps out the rain,
YOUR LOVE, the ultimate roof

So thank you my Love for being there,
For supporting me, my life
I'll do the same for you, you know,
My Beautiful, Darling Wife.

- David G. Kelly -

move forward, fly high

The higher you wanted to fly,
the painful it will be when you fall down.
So secure your wings and check the wind.
Learn the dance of the sky
to glide properly with the clouds
and the other birds.
Some birds are harmful
and some are just nice.
Just like life,
there are also tricks up way there,
there are birds that looks so harmless
but really attacks like an eagle
so-hungry attacking an innocent chick.
The pressure up there is not that nice
so bring a lot of your comfort-air with you.

The weather is not like a green house weather
that only provides the warmth you need
and the coolness to make you stay crisp.
Sometimes, there's this shower rain
that will clean you up
from the dust you have encountered through the journey.
There will also be a day
that rain seems like to stay forever.
A storm is not banned to come,
like the cycle of the water,
storm is scheduled to precipitate your wings
enough water and coldness.
But dont loose hope,
you cant have a 365 rainy days for a whole year.
Sunny days are meant to dry your wings
and provide you enough warm
to gather the strength
you had lost during the cold winter
and rainy seasons.
Be careful of sunny days,
sometimes, sun comes with a heat
that will burn your perseverance
to soar more up high.
Just because you got wings,
the sky isn't a home for you,
you should also learn to touch the ground
to familiarize its roughness for your feet,
so you wont feel alienated during windy times
that you have to stay under a cave for a shelter.
Or when storm comes,
at least you know how to walk grounded.

Its a pleasurable thing to learn to soar up high,
but its also a must to learn to live the life on ground,
because the life,
just like wheels,
isn't always on top.
Up and down, there's no difference.
Life is more fun
if you know how to deal with its tricks.
You just have to be prepared,
and don't be afraid to take the risk
and always move forward.

Remember,
"There's no one principle that governs the whole society."

kwaderno sa dilim

kwaderno mo ako noon, sana'y alagaan mo pa rin ako ngayon

hinanakit sa dilim, isang tinig mula sa maalikabok na imbakan.

Matagal-tagal din tayong nagkasama. Halos isang taon din diba?Naaalala ko pa na tuwing umaga, tinitingnan mo ako, kung ok lang ako. Sinisigurado mong kasama mo ako sa pagharap mo sa bagong araw mo kasama ang iyong pinakakinatatakutang guro. Pagkapasok ng guro mo sa silid aralan, tinitingnan mo ako kaagad. Natatakot kang harapin ang masungit mong guro ng hindi ako kasama. Alam mong pagwala ako, makakalimutan mo gagad ang mga itinuro sa iyo ng titser mo kahapon. Sa tulong ko, naaalala mo ang mga aral na itinuro kahapon ng guro mo. Tuwing hapon, ako pa rin ang kasama mo hanggang sa uwian. Sa paglisan ng mga kaklase mo, at isa-isa ng mag-uuwian sa kani-kanilang tahanan, madalas ako ang naiiwang iyong kasama hanggang sa pagdating sa bahay. Di ba nga minsan napagalitan ka ng nanay mo nung minsang hinayaan mo akong mabasa ng ulan. Sa inis mo ibinalibag mo ako. Ang sakit ng katawan ko nun. Halos manglupaypay ako. Pero labis ang pangangailangan mo sa akin, hindi mo ako kayang kallimutan na lang basta-basta. Kahit anong mangyari, ako pa rin ang kailangan mo. Akin pang nahihimay sa aking gunita, na tila habang buhay ng idinikit sa kabuuan ng aking alaala, ang mga panahong, dahan dahan mo akong hinahawakan ng nanginginig pa ang iyong kamay sa tuwing dadaan ang iyong lihim na iniirog. Sa tuwing mahinhin na ngingiti ang iyong sinisintang binibini.Na kapag hindi mo naiintindihan ang leksyon ay sinusulat mo sa akin anng kanyang pangalan at tuwang tuwa ka habang nakangiting ginuguhit ang mga hugis puso sa paligid ng pangalan ninyong dalawa ng magandang binibini. Masaya rin ako sa tuwing nakikita kitang masaya.

Luha at ngiti ang pinagsaluhan natin ng halos isang taon. Iniingatan mo pa nga ako na huwag magasgasan upang mapanatili ang aking kalinisan. Ayaw mo akong ipahiram sa iyong mga kaklase na tamad magsulat.NUng huling pagsusulit, pinag-agawan ako ng mga kaklase mo para makapag-aral din silang mabuti upang maibsan ang pangamba na baka bumagsak sila at hindi makakuha ng diploma pagdating ng pagatatapos. Ngunit hindi ka pumayag, ayaw mong mapunta ako sa mararahas na kamay na hindi marunong mag-alaga ng gamit.

Magdamag kang nag-aral kasama ako. Nais mong matumbasan ang pag-aalaga ng mga magulamg mo sa pamamagitan ng pagkuha ng matataas na marka sa mga pagsusulit. Kung maaari lang akong sumigaw at sabihing, magpahinga at umidlip ka naman upang makapag-ipon ng lakas para sa pagsusulit. Kung pwede lang kitang kalabitin at sabihing magpahinga ka naman saglit upang hindi ka mangarag pagdating ng pagsusulit. Ngunit sadyang wala akong kapangyarihang baguhin ang estado ng buhay ko, sapagkat ako ay isang abang pipi lamang, ginawa upang matulungan ka sa iyong pag-aaral at hindi para makialam sa mga disisyong iyong gagawin. Mugtong mugto ang iyong mga mata kinabukasan, dinaig mo ang namayan na magdamag na umiyak. Subalit matatag ka, likas sa iyo ang pagiging matapang at malakas ang loob. Sa kabila ng pagpupuyat, nakangiti kang pumasok sa eskuwela at taas noong ipinasa ang pagsusulit. Di man nagyayabang, labis ang tuwa mo nang batiin ka ng iyong iniirog na binibini. Lalong lumakas ang iyong loob na siya ay haranahin upang makamit ang kanyang ginintuang "oo" na makapagpapasaya ng mundo mo kung papalarin.Abot tenga ang ngti mo sapagkat alam mong malaki ang tsansang sasagutin ka ng iyong sinisinta sa taas ng marka mo. Paparating na ang pagtatapos. kumukunti ang mga aralin, pumapasok na lang kayo upang pagsanayan ang kantang iaalay niyo sa darating na pagtatapos.Madalang narin tayong magkasama. NI halos hindi mo na nga ako magawang dalawin sa ating tambayan. OO. parang nasasaktan ako na tila ba nakalimutan mo na ako kaagad. ang bilis naman.

Dumating ang pagtatapos, nagkamit ka ng maraming medalya. Sinagot ka na rin ng iyong iniirog na sinta. Ang saya saya mo noon. kitang kita ko. Ngunit hindi mo na kinikwento sa akin ang lahat ng mga yun. Marami ka nang kakuwentuhan, at hindi mo na ako kailangan. Dinaramdam ko ang pagkawala ng masaya nating samahan. Ako ngayon ay nag-aaral lumangoy, upang hindi ako malunod sa ilog ng luha na aking tinatahak ngayon. Nais ko man ngunit di ko mapigilan ang pagdaramdam ng aking damdamin.

Ngunit ako'y hindi marunong magtanim ng galit. Ako'y walang karapatang magbalangkas ng hinanakit sapagkat pag-aari mo lang ako. Gayunpaman, ako'y natutuwa sapagkat kahit di mo na ako kasakasama ngayon, naandito parin ako sa iyong kwarto, nakahimlay kasama ng iyong mga pinakaiingatang mga gamit, na tulad ko ay mga piping saksi ng iyong mga tagumpay sa likod ng mga luha at hinagpis sa iyong pagharap sa mga pagsubok. Subalit sadyang mabilis ang pag-inog ng mundo. Bagamat nasa kamay ng tao ang pagbabago sa halos lahat ng aspeto, hindi natin mapipigilan ang natural na mga pagbabago sa ating kapaligiran kaakibat ng pagdagdag ng mga bagong kakilala at kaibigan na maaring makakadagdag sa pagbabago ng galaw ng iyong mundo.

kolehiyo ka na, bago lahat ang mga gamit mo, at kasama ako sa papalitan mo. May bago ka nang makakasama. Tuluyan mo na akong kinalimutan, inalis mo na ako sa study table mo. Higit pa roon ay ipinalagay mo ako sa bodega, kasama ng iba pang mga lumang gamit na iyo na ring pinaglumaan. Hindi ko mapigilan ang bugso ng damdamin ko. Labis akong nalungkot. Hindi ko akalain na makakalimutan mo kaagad ang halos isang taon nating pinagsamahan. Nakakalimutan mo na ba ang mga panahong nagtagumpay ka dahil kasama mo ako? Alam mo ba na kahit kailan ay hindi ko ipinagkalat ang mga lihim na sinulat mo sakin? Hindi ako ng katulad ng iba mong kaibigan na ipinagkakalat ang maseselang bagay na lihim mong itinago. Akin pang naaalala lahat ng sinulat mo sakin, wala akong ni isa na nakalimutan.

Ganunpaman, mahal kita. Pag-aari mo ako at ako'y iyo lamang habang buhay, huwag mo lang sana akong ipamigay. Darating man ang araw na maaalala mo ako, bukas ako para sa iyo. Pagdating ng panahon na hahanapin mo ang mga kopya ng mga leksyon mo nung hayskul ka pa lamang, andito ako nakahandang bukalatin mo. Sapagkat ang mga dunong na iyong itinago sakin ay magiging walang silbi, hanggang hindi mo ginagamit. Dahil nagiging makapangyarihan ang dunong sa puntong ito ay ginagamit.

Sapagkat ang katalinuhan na tumatakbo sa isipan, ay nagiging kaalaman kapag ito ay naitala sa aklat na nagiging dunong kapag nabasa at nagkakaroon ng kapangyarihan na baguhin ang takbo ng bawat isipan ng mausisang nilalang na nagnanais at naghahanap ng pagbabago at kaganapan sa mga letrang naisulat sa mga lathala na pawang para sa ikabubuti ng lahat. Ngunit tila hanggang sa tanikala lamang ang mga iyon at kailanman ay walang iisang madaliang paraan upang maisakatuparan ang ginintuang panukala na umiinog sa matatabang utak ng mga tinaguriang abang manunulat.

Ang mga bagay at lihim na diwa na minsang inyong naisulat sa akin ay kailan may hindi na mababago hanggang sa iyong pagbalik upang ayusin at pamatnugutan ang mga alaalang iyong naisulat dito sa isang lumang kwaderno na ngayon ay iyo na lamang itinabi dito sa madilim na bodega na imbakan ng mga kinakalimutan ng mga alaala.

Ako ay matiyaga at mapakumbabang maghihintay sa iyong pagbabalik upang muli ay buklatin, banghayin at iguhit na muli sa himpapawid ang ngiti sa iyong gunita nung tayo ay magkasama pa. Iingatan mo pa sana ako, sapagkat akoy mapapakinabangan pa ng iyong susunod na henerasyon. Upang sa ganun ay mapakinabangan nila ang iyong sipag na magtala ng mga mahahalagang bagay sa kasaysayan dito sa iyong abang kwaderno.#

contented love

I cherish those moments when you would glance at me while doing something in your computer. Those tantalizing eyes that shows your soul, melts me every time you look my way. When saying something, those eyes told me that you are honest enough for me to say yes even if sometimes I don’t get you clearly. Your look melts my worries away. That even around those pretty girls, I will stand out the best, for I am the apple of your eyes.

I visualize your face as a painting boldly sketched to deliberately show its message. Those checks tanned just enough to provide manly color to your soft face. You may not look like those ghosts like stars in the movies, but your face shines like a smiling sun on my cloudy day. Your smile, the warmest and the sweetest I have known, starts and completes my day. Assuring me to face the world, your smile gives me security from those insecurities and lack-of-confidence times.

It feels like I am watching a waltz show every time you are near doing your things, and walking around. Your feet glides smoothly as you walk, with your hands sway in a rhythmic pattern. When you turn around, it looks like you are looking for your partner in the dance floor while waiting for her to hold your hand and sway all the way round the dance floor. Your shoulders though not buckled-up with muscles are strong enough to support your girl as you slowly spin her, examining her full beau.

The chest is always ready to catch her just in case both of you do a wrong step.

I treasure you like a sweet kiss that woke me up in the morning. With the pink sky that welcomes my sleepy eyes. Your warm smile burns the cold feeling in the morning. I hear your voice as a song sang to me by the angels when you called me to say that you are coming to stay in the night and that we will eat the ever romantic simple dinner you will prepare.

Your scent, I can still smell in the pillow you used last night. Lingering through the room it keeps as my companion when you’re out for work.

..............whoops...it’s just a dream.....

………….time to wake up.......

You are quietly lying beside me, with your face as innocent as ever. The fact that I woke up today with you by my side, made my day secured. Away from those worries that you might leave me and will never come back. That I wasn’t mistaken when I told myself I will grow old with you. That you will wait every time I’m late. That even if you will be late, you will still come. You won’t promise (because they are made to be broken), instead you will tell me you will love me no matter what.

Hay...

tnx to..

mystery of the morning

Morning Dew

Every morning as I slowly awake
to the warm glow of sunlight
I thank the Lord for the gift of life.

I anxiously await the exquisite moment
when my eyes meet the misty mountains
bathing in fresh rays of sunshine.

My heart is tamed by the glory of creation
I can only see eternity and breathe serenity.

How truly euphoric it would be
If we could walk together
barefoot amidst the dewy canopy of green
blessed by the purity and innocence of a new morn.

footprints on the moon

Never tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

why you should not quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,

When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,

When the funds are low and the debts are high

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit,

Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,

As every one of us sometimes learns,

And many a failure turns about

When he might have won had he stuck it out;

Don't give up though the pace seems slow--

You may succeed with another blow,

Success is failure turned inside out--

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,

And you never can tell how close you are,

It may be near when it seems so far;

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--

It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

FRIENDSHIP QUIZ

You don't actually have to take the quiz. Just read straight through, and you'll get the point.

Take this quiz:

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the top five news stories five years ago.
3. Name ten presidents or leaders of the biggest countries in the world.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor or actress.
6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.

How did you do?

The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.

Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel, appreciated and special.
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.
6. Name half a dozen heroes whose stories have inspired you. Easier?

The people who make a difference in your life are not the most powerful ones, nor have the most money or awards. They are the ones that care.

Size Of Your Heart

It isn't the size of your house as such
That matters so much at all.
It's the gentle hand and its loving touch,
That make it great or small.

The friends who come and the hour they spent
Who out of your house depart,
Will judge it not by the style you show,
But rather by the size of your heart.

It isn't the size of your head so much,
It isn't the wealth you found.
That will make you happy -- it's how you touch
The lives that are all around.

For making money is not hard --
To live life well is an art:
How people love you, how they regard,
Is all in the size of your heart.

i cant remember the site.
i just found this on my notepad...
isn't this great?...

Less Traveled.

Being a traveler is not a hard hobby. It was not just looking for the hidden paradise this country has. Traveling was not just meant for the pleasurable purposes.Traveling do not just include beaches, cliff, mountains, falls, and so much more exotic exciting sites.

It is to see every abstract thing that every site bear. Only a few travelers travel into remote and squatters area. Who would travel in a muddy and odorous areas to see whats happening in a very simple life of squatters family.

Behind tall buildings and big malls surrounding our country, are the crowded houses scattered in the remote areas. With thin and rusted roof, hardened papers as their walls and an empty rice box. A couple with three siblings dwells in poverty and struggles to live life as easy as they can.

Every morning, before anything else, they would fetch water first.Five pesos for every 2 containers. A budgeted water for the laundry, for taking a bath, for dishes, and for all domestic use. Thirty pesos for a container of safe water, potable enough to substitute for every meal they've missed.

After an early breakfast, all members of the family gotta get a job even just for that day, to survive for the next. No one goes to school. Only some lucky ones goes to school, but would immediately stop in middle high school or even without graduating elementary because of poverty. The father and the mother tries to sell something eatable delicacies in the street, joining the busy crowd to look for some food. To compete with other vendors in the street too.

While the elders are busy hunting for coins to buy some foods, the children are giggling in the streets playing innocently. In their smile, you can see happiness without any hesitations and worries. They are contented with their life. Their feet, barely ran the roads, under the scorching heat of the sun. Smiles that warm every sorrowed heart. Giggles that touches every heart.

As the sun rises, all of the kids and tired elders, get to sleep. Rest to acquire energy for the next tiresome job. The streets leaved alone. With few plastics and candy wrappers. There were also some slippers without its pair, maybe the owner had leave it when his/her mother called him/her for a sleep.


By three in the afternoon, everybody back to work, the children will play again in the streets. Some are enjoying some snacks and some are just playing. Like a trade fair, there are many booths. There are selling snacks, juices, syrup coated bananas, Filipino delicacies and any home made snacks.

As the darkness closes in, slowly the number of children generates. It was there favorite play time. No sun to touch their skin, more people passing by, more fun. They will run and play until 10:00 in the night. After a tiresome game, they'll go home hungry. Sharing the food that their parents generates through the day. Eating happily with dried fish and smoked fish, contently.

They will sleep with smile in their lips. Waiting for the tomorrow to come for another fun games.

That is how simple life is. They live without any too high ambitions and dreams. Living everyday to the fullest.A life without big debts to pay and a life not sure of tomorrow. Well whatever comes tomorrow, that's another page of life. To be opened tomorrow and to be solved tomorrow. A life of less aims, less frustrations and more happiness. Real happiness.#

slowly but surely

Local migration, specifically the migration of the younger labor force. How does this affect the migrant and the whole society? Basically it affects the individual characteristics, in the life cycle and the socio-economic status in the society. The family that usually depends the remittances were directly linked to the society and thus, it makes the migrant linked to the society's imbalance. It also affects the cultural reservation and improvement to bot place due to cross marriages and adaptation to new environments thereafter. Learning new knowledge while trashing the old fashions, style, belief and lifestyle and sometimes forgetting their own perspective.

While the place of origins(specifically rural areas), losses the younger labor force together with its brain and strength, the host place (urban areas) gains. Though on the other hand, migration promises more opportunity; such as jobs of bigger wages, new learning, tourism to the host place and remittance benefits to the place of origin.

Lets take for example the housemaid who travel far from provinces and work down n the urbanized areas, serving the family not even related to them. What was their main purpose on migrating for work? Half of them work for their family, sending their younger siblings to school while sacrificing their own dreams. One-fourth of them work for their self improvement that includes working while studying which often leads to body abuse. The other one-fourth works mainly for improving the quality of life they have in the province.

When does local migration becomes risky? How does a migrant identify the risk and benefits of migration? Unawareness is a common factor of why migrants risk to migrate without proper orientation and unsure of destination. Promised to get a good and high paying job, ignorant young migrants are easily drawn into trouble. Human trafficking is also one of the factors. It happens to both local and international work market. Migrants usually end up working as prostitutes and/or slaves for the higher class families. In case of local migration, (Philippines for specific) identifying migrants is not an easy task. Since transferring from one place to another is easy and staying in the house of the relatives even for longer times is a normal thing.

In the society, the most obvious scenario is the over population in the urban areas which consist of local migrants from the provinces. Often staying in the streets with kids roaming around and begging for food. Most of them are native from the provinces who intentionally migrate to urban areas. Begging and collecting garbage are their common jobs.

On the job-opportunity, local migrants often leave the real residents over-powered in job applications. Servicing the people which is not really a part of the original residents, housing the unauthorized residents.

Although the higher number of migrants offers tourism jobs in return, if not properly manage, may cause to exploitation of young migrants and brain drain to most of the provinces.

SO what are the things we need to do? Firstly, proper distribution of job resources all over the country. A one: one ratio of building establishments between rural and urban areas. It will leave every place an equal job opportunity. Making the rural areas be urbanized. Thus, the government should also consider the size of the area and its population. The labor force (younger ones) will always find a place where job is more attainable and sustainable. In tat case, they will never need to migrate, if job opportunities is just in their backyard. Removing the rural and urban classification will also help eliminate the discrimination between people. To start, it would require proper zoning in every place. Establish a balance area where agricultural and business sector gear up together. Every zone should limit the number of inhabitants. It will tackle the population control which will directly take effect to the next responsible citizens, the younger labor force. Since church were separated from government (in Philippines), the government should impose a mandatory birth control programs. A family should get a certain number of offspring according to its capability to raise a child. Giving for example that a middle class family should only ave two kids, under them will only have one and higher to them will only have three as the maximum. It will then result to mandatory sending of the kids to school. The community population should be limited according to its resources and size. The constant updating of birthing status should then follow.

Second and last, proper distribution of skill and non-skill workers. A resident-first policy will help. Focusing on the younger labor force in the society. It will help the young workers to stop migrating. Bigger number of migrants in a certain area should consist of tourist and business investors. Thus, it will help boast the tourism jobs. Migrant worker should get and present a permit-to-work to another place in every establishment. Controlling the migrants from going in and out will help for faster tracking of illegal businesses, work abuse (concerning employees) and to avoid the discrimination and exploitation of human rights. Local migrant, worker/non-worker, should only get a limited time of stay in a certain place. Giving opportunity to others to migrate, specially the migration of young brains for learning processes, and for learning the difference of economical and social runs in every place.

The government should also create a border within every area t control the coming in and out of migrants legally. Even the residents going out for a vacation and/or for some events, should also be tracked. The place of origin will then report to the place of destination for the coming of the certain person going out from its area of responsibility. This will help the local government develop transparency towards each other.

You cannot raise a fruitful tree over night. You need to water it everyday, keep an eye on it to protect from the harm of wild animals that might eat its leaves. You also need to trim it sometimes for it to grow according to what you want it to be. Even after the first harvest, you will still need to constantly take care of it for a constant good fruit harvest.

Implementation of laws and policies on people is also like that, keeping an eye, trimming sometimes, protecting them from harms. You need to do it constantly for constant effect.

There are a lot of laws and policies to stop or alleviate this migration issues. The society didn't ask for a sudden change which what the government is trying to do. A total stop to the issue may affect the whole country, since they are a big part of the ecosystem in the society. Though its risky and sometimes done illegally, most of the people still benefits them. It may cause massive shock to the economical state of the country. So as to do the action for changing better, may means doing it slowly but surely. Until the people get use to it. Total awareness can be acquired trough consistency. Therefore, consistency is the firs thing to watch above all this issue.#

healthy brain....how?...read this

1. Let it exercise

Playing chess, solving calculus math problems, and answering trivia questions; those might be your idea of exercising your brain. Well they can be, but what I mean is do it literally. Not as literal as putting out your brain muscles and stretch it. Do some aerobics and loose some moves that you are hiding out of the spotlight.

As we age, our brain cells, called neurons, lose the tree-branch-like connections between them. These connections, or synapses, are essential to thought. Quite literally, over time, our brains lose their heft.

Aerobic exercise increases capillary development in the brain, meaning more blood supply, more nutrients and — a big requirement for brain health — more oxygen. It may even restore memory.

Fit people have sharper brains (though not all), and people who are out of shape, but then get into shape, sharpen up their brains.

Just as important, exercise starves off heart disease, obesity, diabetes and other maladies that increase the risk of brain problems as we age.

People who are active are also having positive outlooks in their life according to researches. Their set of minds is also at ease, keeping a calm poise in every situation.

2. Keep it full

Another path to a better brain is through your stomach.

Antioxidants is not just keeping your appearance looking young. Those antioxidants are also good for your body, fighting aging related diseases, and that includes your brain.

Reading and listening helps your brain grow ideas that essential for your daily life not just for exams and tests on school that you are usually cramming for every time it comes.

Eating the proper way and proper foods is not just good for your body but also for your brain,

(you can also check for my post "coffee coffee coffee" and "get fats for your brain")

3. Speed It Up

Our brains naturally start slowing down at the cruelly young age of 30

It used to be thought that this couldn’t be helped, but a barrage of new studies show that people of any age can train their brains to be faster and, in effect, younger.

Given the right tools, we can train our brains to act like they did when we were younger. All that’s required is dedicated practice: exercises for the mind.

What you think your mind can do actually depends on what you want it to function for. Since your brain is the center of your body it controls all the things that you are going to do.

If you make a habit of thinking fast so the brain can function faster, it will get use to it, and could possibly improve as you go along.

4. Stay Calm

Breathe. Relax.

While challenging your brain is very important, remaining calm is equally so. In a paper on the brain and stress, Jeansok Kim of the University of Washington asserts, in no uncertain terms, that traumatic stress is bad for your brain cells. Stress can “disturb cognitive processes such as learning and memory, and consequently limit the quality of human life,” writes Kim.

One example is a part of the brain called the hippocampus, which is a primary locus of memory formation, but which can be seriously debilitated by chronic stress. Of course, physical exercise is always a great destressor, as are calmer activities like yoga and meditation. And when you line up your mental calisthenics (your Swahili and swing lessons), make sure you can stay loose and have fun.

Before doing anything, before reacting to something, have a habit of counting from 1-10, or breathing in and out for three to five times. IF at ease, your brain function at its best and could avoid you from more stressful situations and circumstances.

5. Give It a Rest

While on rest, you allowed your brain to have a look from the outer view of the things. It is like restoring the energy you have lost from deciding things. Giving your brain some rest is one way of putting it back to its normal pace, where it could think without the pressure; thinking for more better not because of pressure.

As what they say, a machine that runs 24 hours, easily get defects due to over heat. Just like your brain, without rest, it might lose some of its efficiency you used to enjoy.

Get Fats For Your Brain

Get Fats For Your Brain

The human body was designed to love fatty foods in part because of the needs of the brain. We should choose the “good” kinds of fats, skipping the dangerous ones and adding plenty of brain-healthy ones.

The brain is made mostly of fat, which not only forms the membranes around cells that regulate what gets in and out of them but also insulates the bundles of nerve fibers that act as high-speed communication cables in the brain. It shouldn't be too shocking, then, to learn that fat is the single most important nutrient for protecting and preserving brain function. Eating a low-fat or, worse, a no-fat diet is actually the worst thing you can do for your brain. What the brain craves most are the omega-3 fats. They turn on the genes that determine how the brain develops, repair and preserve brain cells, enable the cells to deliver signals efficiently, and may even facilitate the growth of new cells. Studies show that without enough omega-3s, the brain can't function properly. Over time, lack of omega-3s may even contribute to the development of Alzheimer's disease. Unfortunately, most people don't eat nearly enough of these good fats.

So don't be afraid to eat those fats you are trying to avoid. Just always keep in mind that "too much is bad".
Be generous to your body and brain, foods are created to be eaten.
In proper way, you can benefit to the foods that most people avoid.
Fats like those that came from fish oils and olive oils are good not just for your brain but also for your heart.
Check your ref now and eat smart.


Eat fish
Switch to olive oil
walnuts
walnut oil
flax seed oil



Here are some links that may help you know more about good fats and foods to look for in the nearest supermarket .
