I recently stumbled upon an article bu Jay Williams, Ph. D.  which gave a test to check if your digestive system is working fine. It says there that you must eat a spoonful of corn kernel at your next dinner and try not to chew them. Take note of the time because it will serve as the crucial “measurement”. If you poop within ten (10) to eighteen (18) hours, then, voila, congratulations! You have a healthy digestive system. If you poop beyond eighteen (18) hours to twenty-four (24), you probably need to intake more fiber and water. Beyond the twenty-four (24) cut-off, let’s just say that you need to tweak your diet and lay-off with the meat.

There are three known factors which led to the industrial revolution. The first is the invention of machines which not only made work and production faster but also sometimes even eliminated work by human. The second factor is the invention of the steam engine which jump started the evolution of transportation in Great Britain. The third factor is the adoption of the factory system.

The factory system basically is the putting together of all elements needed in production in one common place. These elements included work space, raw materials, and ultimately, the manpower.

Leaving a mark doesn’t mean you must be a celebrity or a fallen hero. You just have to make sure you touched as much lives as possible,  and made a difference as big as possible. And of course, don’t ever forget the ones you love and the ones you love you because they’re the ones who will forever remember you. So give them great memories to remember you by.

So live your live to the fullest– there’s nothing wrong with that. But be sure to have a direction and a purpose. People with legacies will never die in the memory of people.

As a big fan of horror films, I was a disappointed with Segunda Mano’s plot and over-all impact. Compared to Kris Aquino’s previous movies such as Feng Shui and Sukob, Segunda Mano was dull, predictable, and boring. It was also apparent that the love story part of the movie was rushed and out of place. And it was obvious that there was no chemistry between Kris and her leading man, Dingdong Dantes. In fact, you could almost hear the disgusted reaction from the audience whenever there was kissing scene between the two. The plot was predictable, and the casting sucked big time.

I’ve recently watched a movie entitled “I Don’t Know How She Does It”. It is an inspirational movie about a working mom, Kate, who has great time management skills that she was able to fulfil her duties as a mom and as a financial analyst at her company. Sure, she had some time trouble juggling her two commitments in the middle but she managed to find her balance and she eventually worked things out in the end.

As an working student, I too have the same dilemma of juggling my commitments and having time management schemes. I feel like the mom in the story because my work also entails me to travel so much but good thing I don’t have to cross states for work. But I have to work till 10PM three times a week these days because of company event and I’m finding it hard to find time to study for my classes. The thing is, I want to study when I arrive at home but then I’m too exhausted to do so. Well, classes have just started two months ago so I guess I’m still at the “adjusting period”. I hope to work things out as well, just like Kate. Lord, please help me.

I say, report that video to youtube and stop spreading this nonsense videos. I love your Rhian.

Sometimes, when there is a goal to be met, it is important to put play on hold first. If work and work is the only way to get things done, go ahead and do it. Wouldn’t it be satisfying if at the end of the day, you were able to do everything that you are supposed to do because you have poured out all your efforts into it?

When you think you are done, it is the time to spend for playing all you want. You will have nothing else to be worried about since you know that you have already accomplished your priorities.

Runner are mostly conscious of training their heart and legs and tend to forsake lung training. Mindy Solkin, an NYC-based coach, believes that a strong respiratory system can improve someone’s running length.

The key to a strong respiratory system is a full, whole breath. David Ross, M.D., a doctor in UCLA Medical Center, suggests concentrating on slow and deep breaths that allow maximum entry of oxygen to the lungs. Deep and slow breathing means “belly breathing”. This means that your belly (not your chest!) mus move when breathing. Chest breathing makes you shoulders tense up which is a waste of energy.

To shift from chest to belly breathing, its suggested to try pilates and yoga because they’re proven to be breath enhancers.

Well, this is actually more of a preference. However, it is important to at least wake up early some time and enjoy what the morning has to offer. You might want to smell the clean breeze of the air or watch the wonderful sunrise. You might also want to see the world at its purest before it will be contaminated throughout the day.

Yes, it really takes effort to wake up early especially if you have already got used to waking up late. However, it still pays at the end of the day if you get to be renewed and refreshed the moment you wake up early. Just give it a try and see the difference.

But behind this still relatively positive facade, Baguio City can be called the Future City of Chaos. For one thing, Baguio City is lying above major fault lines and it practically sits atop numerous sinkholes. Without proper city planning, this glorious City of Pines might just become the a ghost city in the future. And for that, let’s knock on wood.
