I got this from e-mail and i want to share this to everybody!

EATING FRUIT!!

We all think eating fruits means just
buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our
mouths. It's not as easy as you think. It's
important to know how and when to eat.

What is the correct way of eating fruits?

IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR
MEALS! * FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY
STOMACH.

If you eat fruit like that, it will
play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you
with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life
activities..

FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD.
Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit.
The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach
into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so.

In the meantime the whole meal rots
and ferments and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes
into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive
juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil.

So please eat your fruits on an empty
stomach or before your meals! You have heard people
complaining - every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I eat
durian my stomach bloats up, when I eat a banana I feel like
running to the toilet etc - actually all this will not arise
if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. The fruit mixes
with the putrefying other food and produces gas and hence
you will bloat!

Graying hair, balding, nervous
outburst, and dark circles under the eyes all these will not
happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach.

There is no such thing as some
fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic, because all fruits
become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert
Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have
mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the
Secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and
normal weight.

When you need to drink fruit juice -
drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT from the
cans. Don't even drink juice that has been heated up.
Don't eat cooked fruits because you don't get the
nutrients at all. You only get to taste. Cooking destroys
all the vitamins.

But eating a whole fruit is better
than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice,
drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let
it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on
a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body. Just eat fruits and
drink fruit juice throughout the 3 days and you will be
surprised when your friends tell you how radiant you look!

KIWI: Tiny but mighty. This is a good
source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E & fiber. Its
vitamin C content is twice that of an orange.

APPLE: An apple a day keeps the doctor
away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has
antioxidants & flavonoids which enhances the activity of
vitamin C thereby helping to lower the risks of colon
cancer, heart attack & stroke.

STRAWBERRY: Protective Fruit. Strawberries have
the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits &
protect the body from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging
free radicals.

ORANGE: Sweetest medicine. Taking 2-4
oranges a day may help keep colds away, lower
cholesterol, prevent & dissolve kidney stones as
well as lessens the risk of colon cancer.

WATERMELON: Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of
92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of
glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. They are
also a key source of lycopene - the cancer fighting oxidant.
Other nutrients found in watermelon are vitamin C &
Potassium.

GUAVA & PAPAYA:
Top awards for vitamin C. They are
the clear winners for their high vitamin C content. Guava is
also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya
is rich in carotene; this is good for your eyes.

Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer!
Can u believe this?? For those who like to drink
cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to
have a cup of cold drink after a meal.
However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that
you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion.
Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will
break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the
solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will
turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot
soup or warm water after a meal..

A serious note about heart attacks
HEART ATTACK PROCEDURE': (THIS IS NOT A JOKE!) Women
should know that not every heart attack symptom is going
to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the
jaw line. You may never have the first chest pain during the
course of a heart attack .. Nausea and intense sweating are
also common symptoms. Sixty percent of people who have a
heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in
the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be
careful and be aware. The more we know the better chance we
could survive...

Please do RePost this… It could save other lives!!!

I'm now tagging you!!

Double Celebration!

2009-01-26T00:00:00.000-08:00

Our office is celebrating AUSTRALIA DAY today as an Anniversary Day and Foundation Day of Australian Government. Infact, the official national day of Australia. Celebrated annually on 26th day of January, the day commemorates the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, the unfurling of the British flag at Sydney Cove and the proclamation of British sovereignty over the eastern seaboard of Australia.

Our Australian consultants and advisers in the office conducted a simple gathering to celebrate the special event of their beloved country. I Enjoyed eating their special pastries. Nam nam nam! :)

And as we all know that the Chinese calendar has been in continuous use for centuries. It predates the International Calendar (based on the Gregorian Calendar) in use at the present, which goes back only some 430 years. Basically, a calendar is a system we use to measures the passage of time, from short durations of minutes and hours, to intervals of time measured in days, months, years and centuries. These are fundamentally based on the astronomical observations of the movement of the Sun, Moon and stars.

Days are measured by the duration of time of one self rotation of the earth. Months are measured by the duration of time of rotation of the moon around the earth. Years are measured by the duration of time it takes for the earth to rotate around the Sun.

Today, 26th day of January 2009 is another year for chinese people and it's considered as Year 4706 in the Chinese Calendar.

Long Live Australian... Kung Hei Fat Choi Chinese... :)

Side tRip!

2009-01-12T03:42:00.000-08:00

Straight seven hours travel from Davao to Butuan to meet some friends. We went to mall for some stuff to buy. We headed to the harbor going to Camiguin and had some fun. We managed to visit the most targeted areas in the island, the white Island, Sunken Cemetery, Ardent Hot Spring Resort, and Mt. Hibok². Luckily, it was the Lansones Festival that time where we had so much fun together. We dropped by at the souvenirs’ shop and bought shirts and some “Pasalubong”.

Sailing...

white island

at Sunken Cemetery

The Sunset @ Camiguin

As we go along the road talking with our tour guide slash driver, he was able to point on his fingers the island of Bohol as we can see it from Camiguin Island. Our eyes met and enlarged with grateful thinking as we have the same thoughts in minds… to conquer the island of BOHOL. Knowing that the budget that we prepared was good for Camiguin trip only. However, we never had the second thoughts ‘coz we all wanted to be there no matter what consequences waiting for us there. God’s been with us all the time that he never leave us with nothing.

Approaching Bohol

The Floating Restaurant @ Loboc River, Bohol

I'm with the endangered Tarsier

The amazing chocolate hills

Well, the next day we geared up early in the morning and catch the first trip to Bohol and started the whole day trip with my colleague. We’ve been to the amazing chocolate hills, the ever romantic floating restaurant at Loboc River, the lovely endangered tarsier. We went to this place with confident and strength without having any idea where to go. Just for the fullfillment of our dreams to be in this place. The place, hospitability and very friendly people with all their delicious and affordable food specialties along the way are good enough to have a very unforgettable trip.

@ Magellan's Cross

@ Sbarro, Ayala Cebu

We took the ride on the floating restaurant to eat our lunch buffet at Loboc River, somewhere in Loay, Bohol. While eating, we've been discussing on how are we gonna go back to our origin (Davao) with the money we have. I know for sure we lacked money for this side trip adventure. (LOL!) Tick tack! tick tack! We consumed about 2hours in floating. eat... chat... eat... picture... chat... eat... picture. nam nam nam! That was so cool! unlimited seafoods. weeehh! Talking about adventure, we mentioned Cebu as we all knew that is just nearby the place where we were. We kept on inquiring to the people about how we could get there and how much will it cost us to get there. Since its only 2hours travel to another city, again we had another immediate decision of hopping to another island, the famous island of Cebu. Another adventure started as we reached the city.

Going back to Davao around 4:30am @ Mactan International Airport

Damn! (Bohol pa lang short na kami sa budget! Go pa rin ng Go! sa Cebu pa kaya? tsk tsk tsk) Despite our shortage, we had so much fun in our island hopping in Visayas. We’re even surprised of where we’ve been through all the way from Davao-Butuan-Camiguin-Bohol-Cebu-Davao with the money prepared for Camiguin only. Everything is unexpected… everything is unplanned…

Talented International Filipino Writer!

2008-11-06T18:59:00.000-08:00

Hi there, I’m back to blogging now. Quite busy but I just want to write a simple article recognizing my very good friend, a mentor and somewhat an adviser/consultant in terms of filmmaking here in Mindanao, Gutierrez "Teng" Mangansakan II. Being the first representative from the southern Philippine island of Mindanao in the University of Iowa International Writing Program.

Teng is an essayist, screenwriter, fiction writer, poet, photographer, filmmaker, journalist, heritage conservationist, relief worker, editor, blogger, and a Muslim gay.

Teng belongs to Moro royalty, in a family that can trace its genetic heritage back to the Prophet through the sharif who first brought Islam to Mindanao -- but in college he underwent both political and artistic awakenings. The artistic awakening happened through a film festival in Manila, where he was exposed to the work of artists including Truffaut, Fellini and Ozu. "That really opened my eyes," he says. "So I shifted to communications, read everything I could find about films, and started writing."

Back in my college years, with my colleagues coi, sheng, mona and Sharon, as the micromedia production based from Mindanao have decided to feature teng’s passion in filmmaking. From his experiences itself, we’ve learned a lot. As we had the normal conversation together with the group, having simple drinks at the MTS (Matina Town Square), til the time we got drunk. Hehehe and sometimes end up with a great conversation about film. Teng would really want to help those who are in need, he would even share all the techniques and impart what he could confer to the young interested filmmakers. Read More!

Ito lang masasabi ko.

and

P.S. Pasalubong ko from San Francisco don’t forget! hehehe

Barack Obama, First US Black President

2008-11-04T21:16:00.000-08:00

America's first black president, Barack Obama, was elected last Tuesday night in a historic triumph that overcame racial barriers as old as America itself.

The son of a black father from Kenya and a white mother from Kansas, the Democratic senator from Illinois sealed his victory by defeating Republican Sen. John McCain in a string of wins in hard-fought battleground states — Ohio, Florida, Virginia and Iowa.

A huge crowd in Grant Park in Chicago erupted in jubilation at the news of Obama's victory. Some wept.

McCain called his former rival to concede defeat — and the end of his own 10-year quest for the White House. "The American people have spoken, and spoken clearly," McCain told disappointed supporters in Arizona.

Obama and his running mate, Sen. Joseph Biden of Delaware, will take their oaths of office as the 44th president of the United States and vice president on Jan. 20, 2009.

Classical Pearl Jewel

2008-09-30T02:57:00.000-07:00

In more recent times, the bracelets have become fashionable. While traditional charms hang from the bracelet, charms feature individual pieces soldered directly onto the link of the bracelet itself. A charm bracelet carries personal charms: decorative trinkets or pendants which are signs of important factors in the wearer’s life.

If you find a piece that makes you feel completely put-together and confident, wear it! And do keep it in mind that the achievement of a look depends on how you wear it. In fact, most people will agree that it's not the accessories that make the look, it's the way you hold yourself. And yes it is really true. The practice of wearing necklaces was once generally confined to women. But during the past couple of decades, increasing numbers of men have begun to take part in this practice.
However, the black pearl necklace is one of the easiest and most versatile accessories you can wear. It doesn't require any special holes in your body like earrings, it won't get in your way like a chunky bracelet will, and it doesn't have a stuffy connotation like a brooch as well as the akoya pearl necklace. Freshwater pearl necklace is the most classical among the jewels that makes you feel fresh and comfortable enough in wearing with your favorite fashion designed outfit. This combined with the wide range of necklace styles that are in vogue right now, means that you can find a necklace to go with any outfit, for any occasion. However, with every clothing store now featuring an accessory rack, choosing the right necklace for the right occasion can be intimidating. These types of classical pearl jewelries are available online with instant savings and other discounts.

For formal occasions and events most especially for feminine, a simple chain with a classical pearl or jeweled charm adds sparkle to any outfit. For a more relaxed, yet still dressy occasion, a funky, larger charm or statement piece will add some flair to your outfit.

I went to many places with my friends and try to catch something to enjoy during the Kadawayan celebration here in Davao. Doing the bar hopping and strolling in a crowded place having some fun along with some gorgeous ladies. It was really the hottest party ever! A lot of street parties and live bands anywhere you go. And as I stood up near the backstage when someone seductively stared and said to one of the ladies… “Are you ready to rock the city tonight?” With all the Victory Hair with it’s Ultimate Flirting as Extreme Style by VO5.

After the whole week celebration of the Kadayawan 2008. The Davao City has preserved the peaceful and fruitful living despite the conflict on the nearby municipalities and cities. We must be very thankful to our Hon. Mayor Rody Roa Duterte for lending a voice of moderation in the on-going conflict in Mindanao. He was also elated that the Kadayawan festival last week went without a hitch. Thanks for the cooperation of all the people who celebrated with us. To the organizers and the participants of the yearly celebration of Davao City, “The Kadayawan”. To the thousands of police and other military who offered their time and efforts to keep the celebration going. Thank you very much! We made it safe and sound. Congratulations to us! we are all winners!

Chopsticks

2008-08-23T00:29:00.000-07:00

It’s been almost a decade now when I was trying to eat foods through chopsticks. It was actually damn stupid tricky thing to do. It’s always been a trouble for me doing that kind of stuff. I couldn't eat delicious and tasty Asian cuisine comfortably. I would rather be using the spoon and fork to satisfy my tummy with those delicious foods. Eating chicken or beef wanton ball noodles, sushi and sashimi was really great since it requires an appropriate utensils to be used. So I managed to practice and enjoy gorging them with chopsticks! And those foods are seemed to taste better eaten with chopsticks, really! I’ve learned it on my own simple way by going to restaurants that specialized with chopsticks but it’s a lot more expensive since you need to spend money for it.

Talking about chopsticks, I know it’s kinda hard to learn at first. But as you go along and practice more often times, you will be enjoying and fascinated eating more foods using it. Here’s another chance of learning this techniques on how chopsticks use in proper way. There are some techniques being shown and instructed at Banzai. It’s a game where each player takes a Sushi Bowl, has a set of matching Betting Cards, with a pair of Chopsticks, a Hachimaki, and 25 pieces of Sushi.

The Kadayawan 2008

2008-08-16T22:18:00.000-07:00

The Kadayawan 2008 is a celebration of our indigenous cultures, food, arts, hobbies, past and present cultures. Kadayawan is dubbed as the festival of festivals. It’s a simple thanksgiving for a bountiful harvest. It evolved into one big party of parties, with the highlight on the diverse groups of Davaoeños. Expected are the streets parties, live bands, celebrities, Arts, Foods, sports, contests, and a lot more…

The Kadayawan 2008 celebration has two main components:

1. Lumadnong Kasaulogan(Indigenous Peoples Festival) - the core of the Kadayawan Festival showcasing our indigenous peoples’ culture and arts.

2. Subay sa Lumadnong Kagikan (Contemporary Indigenous-motivated Celebrations) - showcases the impact of the indigenous culture and traditions to contemporary artists and communities.

Theme of the year: "Musanay Lumadnong Kagikan, Yutang Kabilin Panalipdan!" (“Flourishing Indigenous Heritage, Protecting Ancestral Nations”)

Davao has been the Indigenous Peoples’ homeland, their core of existence. The life and culture of the indigenous peoples have always been bonded to the land. Without the land, culture and traditions are nothing. And there is always the need to defend the indigenous peoples’ ancestral lands for them to continually live and practice their way of life- consulting the spirits, working with nature and sharing with others. The main reason of celebrating the Kadayawan sa Dabaw 2008.

Watch out for this video introduction as an invitation to Kadayawan 2008. Inviting you all to join and celebrate with us!

My Look!

2008-08-16T09:00:00.000-07:00

When I was still in grade school, my dad used to cut my hair in his very own style of haircut. Most of the time cutting it to what I really hate to have. He likes cutting my hair like a military hair style. I can still remember when he asked my sister to call me from playing outside and positioned the hair cutting at the balcony of the house. That was the time where I never had my Victory Hair under my dad’s regime. That was during my grade school. Until I reached high school and then college, I was able to have my own hairstyle without my dad’s consent. My dad has given me the freedom to have my own hairstyle.

Whatever hairstyle I wanted to have. But then later on, as I have noticed my look in front of the mirror, tsk tsk tsk! it has a unique look towards others (weeew!)Ü LOL! Trying to have those Extreme Style by VO5 just to impress my crushes.

Talking about what others use to call, the forms of non-verbal flirting. Victory Hair really helps a lot. Try and join this Ultimate Flirting Championship to have some techniques of some Victory Hairstyles.
