Others say that they hate Ampalaya the most, but Ampayala is the best cure when it comes to Diabetes. Diabetes, the 8th leading cause of death in the Philippines, is painful to endure in so many ways. The physical and psychological agony that diabetic patients have to bear is simply inconceivable. The drug maintenance and dialysis (resulting from the diabetes’ complications) that requires at least three sessions per week, regular checkups, insulin injections, and other ways to manage diabetes is undoubtedly painful for the pocket as well. As the folks always say, ‘masakit sa bulsa’. We certainly agree. At least P3,000 is needed for a single session of dialysis which must be sustained thrice a week, about P800 for a shot of insulin, and top up other maintenance drugs needed. That costs about at least P9,000 per week—all for the management of diabetes, and not for cure. Indeed, diabetes is a costly disease.       Given all these expenses, what would...

Turning in my  senior years or I ust have to much anestisia taken during my operation. Let’s face it, we have our senior moment or memory gap that sometimes put us in odd situation. There are time when you know you know that face but couldn’t remember the name; I got lot of those situation that I just have to stop laughing about it and take measures as to how I have to address them. They say that memories are the fuel that people burn in order to stay alive. Without the power of memory, our existence is dull and flat. As a matter of fact, it is through memories that we are able to savor the good things in life that has passed. And because of these memories, we look forward to the future, with the aim of reliving what has happened, and even making it better than how it has been before. However, not all memories are meant to stay in our minds and sometimes, aging is the culprit. Good thing is that there are herbal plants like ginkgo biloba which makes our minds replenished thro...

With my hectic lifestyle, I want to make sure that I protect myself from stress and other things that my harm my body. I became health conscious because not only I love myself but I wanted to stay strong for my kids and love ones. With this in mind, I have been conscious on what I eat and I take health supplement every day. I have Spirulina but I soon discovered that during the ancient times, people are not aware of what is within their bodies and whenever they feel a strong emotion, they feel it from their chests. That is one of the reasons the ancient people associate heart with love and life. But nowadays, science progresses more and more and humans discover a lot of things about the human anatomy.  Whenever we feel like there is something throbbing in our chests, it may or may not be love, but sometimes, it may also be a heart disorder triggering. These times, we can never be so sure. That’s the very reason why we need to take care of our hearts and that can be e...

 Applying to college can be a stressful time. This is likely the first decision your child will make that has such lasting and important consequences. With more than 3,000 schools to choose from, knowing where to start can seem impossible. The school your best friend attends can be a valid option, but it's just one among many. As a parent I know that my guidance will be crucial, but ultimately, my child must make this decision on her own. Still, it can be difficult for parents to resist asserting their own dreams and wishes. But pushing a child toward a school she may not want to attend, such as an alma mater, can result in resentment, even failure or dropping out. Parents want the best for their children.

I first became aware of BUM three years ago when DJ was just starting in the show business industry and from then on BUM was making waves in the fashion industry. After BUM’s successful campaign on “Unleash Your RealiTee”, comes another unconventional attempt to provide an alternative inspiration for today’s youth in clothing—the Black Summer Collection.   Contrary to the usual choice of hues for tropical summer setting—floral designs, neon or pastels are the most likely preference for getups. BUM takes on a different route and still aligned to its thrust of motivating the Filipino youth to be ‘stylish’, ‘adventurous’, ‘liberating’, and ‘tactful’ at the same time. BUM known for its atypical concept in sense and style, it has successfully put together teen stars in Philippine entertainment industry; dominated by two of the largest television networks—the Kapamilya and Kapuso stations—Ella Cruz, Nash Aguas, Jane Oineza, Miguel Tanfelix and Bianca Umali were chosen to ...
