Philippine Travel Seasons

  • June to August is the typhoon season. Although the temperature is moderate and hotel rates are lower, it is not the best time to travel specially if you intend to see the countryside or cross the islands by sea.


  • From March to May is summer time and is a good time to see the islands with clear skies and calm waters. You are also assured that no flights or ferry boat trips will be cancelled due to typhoons. Although expect the temperatures to occasionally reach 38 degrees centigrade.


  • The best time to see the country is from November to February when the weather is cooler. It is also a good time to see the longest Christmas season in the world. Were Filipinos start to decorate for Christmas as early as October.

    The Human's Tendency To Prejudice

    Unconsciously,
    we choose how
    we see people...

    when we like someone,
    we are tolerant...

    when we don't,
    we focus on
    their faults...

    It's not other person's
    true personality
    that
    determines how
    we feel about them...

    it's actually
    our attitude...



    THE HUMAN TENDENCY TO PREJUDICE.

    Top Diet Myths Exposed

    If you're so committed to losing weight that you refuse to eat a baked potato for fear of eating empty carbs, you might be missing out on important nutrients and backing your diet into a corner. Open your mind to the truth behind these diet and weight myths and learn how to enjoy some of your favorite foods again.


    Myth 1: Potatoes and bread are fattening.
    Actually:
    It's just the opposite. Starchy vegetables and bread (whole-grain bread, that is) are quality carbs needed to fuel every part of you, from your brain to your muscles. What gets you into trouble is how you eat them: Smear butter on a slice of whole-wheat bread or deep-fry potatoes and you can double, triple, or quadruple the calories.


    Myth 2: Drinking a glass of water before a meal curbs appetite.
    Actually:
    Yes and no. Water tames appetite if it's incorporated into food, such as soup, or a thick drink, like V8 100% Vegetable Juice. Apparently, when water is bound to food, digestion is slower, explains Elizabeth Somer, RD, author of 10 Habits That Mess Up a Woman's Diet.
    That's why women in one study found chicken-rice soup more satisfying than chicken-rice casserole and a glass of water -- even though the soup had 27% fewer calories! One exception to this rule: It's easy to confuse hunger and thirst, so if you find yourself craving something -- but what? -- drink a big glass of water and wait a few minutes. You may find that's what your body really wanted.


    Myth 3: Shellfish is high in cholesterol.
    Actually: On the one hand, it's true: Just 3 ounces of shrimp delivers more than a third of your daily cholesterol. But there's a surprising flip side to this story: Shrimp is low in saturated fat -- the kind that becomes artery-clogging bad cholesterol -- and has a smidgen of heart-healthy omega-3s. In fact, University of Southern California researchers discovered that eating shellfish, such as shrimp, every week reduced heart attack risk by 59 percent!


    Myth 4: The occasional burger and fries won't kill you.
    Actually:
    It depends on your definition of "occasional." If occasional means every Friday night and then some, well, you may be pushing it. But if it means every few months, and you're fit, and you've got good numbers (i.e., weight, waist size, cholesterol, blood pressure), AND you're chowing down on vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and other nutritious fare most other days, hey, you'll live. But few of us are that perfect. If you do occasionally indulge, offset the effects of a fat fiesta with a brisk 90-minute walk afterward.


    Myth 5: Women naturally gain weight after menopause.
    Actually: While you can blame a lot of things on hormones (everything from acne to PMS), in this case, slowing down physically is far more likely the cause. Study after study has found that older women who exercise regularly and vigorously can maintain their figures.


    Myth 6: Diet soda is worse than the real thing.
    Actually:
    We all would be better off switching to water, diluted fruit juice, and green tea rather than drinking soda -- diet or regular. Both types increase kidney and heart disease risk, plus they contain acids that erode tooth enamel, inviting cavities.


    Final Fact (this one's no myth): Maintaining your weight, waist, and body mass index at a desirable level can make your RealAge as much as 6 years younger.

    We'll Never, Never Be The Same Again



    i don't
    know
    if i'm still
    part of you.
    I'm not
    even sure
    if you still
    care for me.

    i
    won't
    assume
    i mean much to you,
    but i
    want you
    to know
    that...

    I'm
    just
    here
    when you need me
    or not

    *****

    "There comes a time in life when you have to let go of all the pointless drama and the people who create it. And surround yourself with people who make you laugh so hard that you forget the bad and focus solely on the good. After all, life is too short to be anything but happy." 

    We just have to accept it. WE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN LIKE BEFORE.

    Don't Be Bad Just Because They Are Bad

     A friend once told me....

    "Don't be bad just because people around you are bad. Don't hurt people just because you have been hurt by others. Never ever allow circumstances to change you into someone different from the real you." 

    Thank you for always reminding me. Through thick and thin, you're there. Knowing you're always there for me, is enough.

    Don't Want To Be A FOOL


    Never allow yourself to be treated as nothing by another person whom you value so much. If there's no sense in waiting, move on. If you feel you're not valued by that person like you do, let go.

    That's life.

    I CARE

    Just because
    we're not
    close anymore
    that doesn't mean
    I don't care
    about you
    at all.


    Our Song


    Advance Happy Birthday to the guy who once touched my life in a very special way. I wish you all the best in life and happiness that you truly deserve.
