   New research shows that obese people who have asthma are nearly five times more likely to be hospitalized for the problem and to have a lower quality of life and worse control of the disease than those with asthma who are normal weight.

   Researchers from Kaiser Permanente, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical Shool evaluated 1,113 adults with asthma, all members of Kaiser, in Oregon, Washington or Colorado, according to HealthDay News.

Best thing to do not to be victimized on the phone:

1. Train children never to entertain phone calls from people they don’t recognized.

2. Family members should not identify themselves when answering the phone until the other line identified himself.

3. Don’t give vital information on the phone (example: you are alone at this moment or there will be nobody  at home at a particular time) because somebody might be tapping your phone.

4. Don’t strike up a discussion with unknown callers.

5. Don’t entertain questions on the phone until you have found out who your caller is.

6. Notify the National Bureau of Investigation if your repeatedly receive anonymous phone calls.

There are lots of people who witnessed of the consecration activities. His Eminence Ricardo Cardinal Vidal was the main celebrant of the mass he was assisted by Monsgr. Cris Garcia and 12 other priests. It was a con celebrated with cardinal, really a big celebration. To those people who attended the mass they will inherit a Plenary Indulgence if they will go to confession after 8 days.

The Holy Mass and the Blessing started at 4:00 o’clock in the afternoon and ended almost 6:00 o’clock in the evening then followed by a dinner participated by Sitio who have members brought dinner tickets as their way of saying thanks to those who have supported the project spiritually and financially.

To the parishioner of St. Roque Shrine of Mambaling, Cebu City. Congratulation for a job well done! Making a successful construction is really blessed because considering a “MIRACLE” right after the Holy Mass and Blessing Cardinal Vidal automatically, announced our Parish will become the Archdiocesan Shrine of Senior San Roque!

The biggest cause of global warming is the carbon dioxide released when fossil fuels like oil and coal are burned for energy. So when save energy, let’s fight global warming and at the same time we can save money.

Here are some easy steps you can take:

• Raise your voice. Send a message to your elected officials, letting them know that you will hold them accountable for what they do-or fail to do-about global warming.
• Choose an efficient vehicle. A car that gets 20 miles per gallon will emit about 50 tons of carbon dioxide over it’s lifetime. A car getting 40 mpg will emit half-polluting, most efficient vehicle that meets your needs . Maybe it’s an innovative hybrid that combines a gasoline engine with electric motors( and never need to be plugged in). Or maybe it’s a wagon instead of an SUV.
• Drive smart. Get your engine tuned up and keep your tires inflated-both help fuel efficiency. A tuned up could be boost your miles per gallon anywhere from 4 to 40%; a new air filter could get you 10% more miles per gallon.
• Drive less. When possible, choose alternatives to driving (public transit, biking, walking, and carpooling), and bundle your errands together so you’ll make fewer trips.
• Replace your light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs. While compact fluorescent are initially more expensive than the incandescent bulbs most people use, they last 10 times as long. What’s more, a compact fluorescent will lower your energy bills and keep half a ton of carbon dioxide out of the air. (Source: www.nrdc.org)

I Remember when I worked one of the a best company here in Cebu, at first day of my work it’s really hard of course for I need to adjust the people around , the job site, surrounding’s everything. It’s really hard from time to time of working and I’m glad that it won’t take long time of familiarizing my job at the same time easy for me to get along with the people around specially to the senior staff. Until one time I met this one good person and we became good friend, in fact she’s the one or let me say she is my alarmed clock at work for being a neophyte there are times that I forget that we have a break time so she’s the one who reminds me. I really thank God for that, at least it won’t hard for me to adjust at work and it seems everything came easy to adjust at work and it seems everything came easy to me.

And from that time on I learn two things to that experience that I need to balance my work and my friendship. Yes it is true that friendship really helps in work because friends tend to think on on the same plane. I do agree on what a professional mother saying on one of the best newspaper have I read this morning. It says.”Misunderstanding at the work scene can not be avoided. ” Sometimes there are things that you do which may not be to her liking,” she said. Bu she does not allow it to affect her work and she with her friend always work it out.

When asked about balancing friendship and professionalism, she said:”When you’re at work, you should always be professional.

” You should never let your friendship overshadow what you need to do at work, what you need to do is a professional , because once too much friendship sinks in, you would tend to take things for granted.

Do not lose focus on what you need to do to be able to do well, if not excel in the job at hand.”

Professionalism and work may not be on the same plane, but it can survive with the right balance of friendship in the work atmosphere.

I received a text message from my cousin in Taiwan. She told me that there’s an earthquake intensity 4 in Taiwan it is just normal to them for they experience it from time to time and their buildings are built to be earthquake safe. The calamity they fear so much is typhoon, even its just signal number one they will already panic for Taiwan is an island so rounded by water.

Way back 1999, I was there as a factory worker for two years and I experienced the intensity 7.2 earthquake. On my, I really thought that it was already end of the world for it happened at 1:00 o’clock in the morning, everybody at the dormitory were asleep so the lights are turn off right away. Then suddenly the dormitory was thoroughly shaking , in fact we still heard the sound under the ground. So everybody woke up and went outside and was looking for a safe place, but it’s too dark outside for the power was suddenly cut off. Just imagine everybody is panic at the same time too dark and the ground is still shaking it took more than 5-10 minutes including the after shocks.

It was really a bad dream to us Filipinos and we keep on praying that nothing gad happens to us there. The worst thing that follow is that there were no more water, no electricity but not long and no telephone it means no communication from our love ones in the Philippines. Thanks God, at 10:30 in the morning the telephone have dial tone, and every Filipino were very busy making calls to let their family know that were doing fine, for it is very hard being away from them in moment like this. For that, I learned a lesson that no one can save us but prayer, our very own faith to God our only creator.

She is my favorite super hero and i won’t miss watching every episode of her TV series of Wonder Woman for she save people who are oppressed, at the same time the movie is good for the kids.

On a television, she had an invisible jet, a lasso of truth and indestructible silver bracelets, but in real life, Wonder Woman has her own secret weapon: sobriety.

The 56- year-old actress is opening up about her long time battle with the bottle and 10 years of sober living.

“I needed help,” she told The Insider, explaining she was “ brilliant” at hiding her alcoholism.” I beg God in heaven to help me figure this out.”
She said she was finally entered rehab in Washington, D.C. After her husband, pleaded with her to stop drinking for the sake of their family. The couple married in 1984 and have two children.

Now, 10 years sober, the former Miss World USA hope she is “stellar human being” who is enriches the life of her family and friends.

We miss you Wonder Woman… Hope to see soon in the screen!

My second day at home is new to me for I was busy even early in the morning for i need to do my job, which my friend taught me. That’s one good thing I’ve learned from them, actually for me my one month and five days staying there I really learned many things and i missed our daily routine. That even just one month it seems one year to me. A big opportunity I almost waisted in fact it’s been a while since they shared this new job to me, but i did not show any interest for i thought it is impossible on my level of knowledge.Just imagined myself compare to them that have gone long way when it comes to computers.Oh my, i lost myself confidence again when it involves to a big decisions like this. Thanking God that Ate CY and DY don’t stop helping me even we’re far from each other they really find a way to keep in touch so that i can work and learn this too. I do appreciate the kindness they’ve share offered to me, for now a days it’s really hard to look for friends like them, they are one of a million. Thanks for being so nice to me and to my family as well! I am very grateful to have you became part of my life, I am very proud of you!
