Reformed Immigration Bill

There was a big rally here in Los Angeles about the new bill being debated regarding Illegal Immigrants. Half a million men, women, and students walked and protested for a fair bill. But other people are threatened for their jobs if they were given legal status. This is an ongoing issue and not a sudden incident. The growing number of undocumented workers are increasing every year. There is no quick fix for this problem but people should not turn their backs on this issue either. Many people admit to not really understading the whole situation. Guilty as charged I am one of those people. Only because when I start reading and watching the news I feel like they are holding back on some facts.

I was so scared!

This morning I woke up the usual time which is at 5:30 and washed my face. I was getting ready to walk my dogs when suddenly my little pomeranian could not move her 2 bottom feet. I started crying and carried her to the bathroom which she pooed and it looks like she could not control it. I laid her in the countertop and watched her closely but that is so hard to do when your eyes is filled with tears. Last year was a hard year and my dogs have been very good and contributed to the little happiness that is left of me. She started to move one of her legs after 2 minutes then I tried to make her stand up but she fell. Then I tried it again and she was able to stand and started to walk a little. I could not help but cry and I put her down then grabbed the leash but she did not look as happy to walk out unlike before. I still took them for a walk with hopes that this would not happen again.

Some people would think that I am a little too crazy about my dogs but others would agree and the dogs have this effect on people that would make you happy. I do not buy them luxury clothes or leashes but I do pamper them in my little economical way. They have been a big part of my life and they have kept me relaxed and less anxious. I love the trait that they have where they love you no matter what and with no judgement and limitations.

Seven things not to do after meal


Don't smoke:
Experiment from experts proves that smoking a cigarette after mealis comparable to smoking 10 cigarettes (chances of cancer are more) .

Don't eat fruits immediately :
Immediately eating fruits after meals will cause stomach to be bloatedwith air. Therefore take fruit 1 to 2 hour after meal or 1hr before meal.

Don't drink tea :
Because tea leaves contain a high content of acid. This substance willcause the Protein content in the food we consume to be hardened thusdifficult to digest.

Don't loosen your belt :
Loosening the belt after a meal will easily cause the intestine to betwisted & blocked

Don't bathe :
Bathing will cause the increase of blood flow to the hands, legs & bodythus the amount of blood around the stomach will therefore decrease.This will weaken the digestive system in our stomach.

Don't walk about :
People always say that after a meal walk a hundred steps and you will live till 99. In actual fact this is not true. Walking will cause the digestivesystem to be unable to absorb the nutrition from the food we intake.

Don't sleep immediately :
The food we intake will not be able to digest properly. Thus will lead togastric & infection in our intestine.

PLEASE FORWARD IT TO YOUR FRIENDS. LET THEM BE AWARE !!

When you wake up in the morning, what is the first thing that you think about? Do you wake up and say anxiously that it is another day to make a change? I was just wondering how could we challenge ourselves on how much we value life? There are times when I really refuse to get up from bed cause I am not ready to approach the day with a smile on my face. I hate waking up in the worst mood ever but there are times when you just can not help it. Though I know the changes I make to have a better world to live in are small but just like what everyone says that small steps are better than not doing anything at all. But of course I should thrive to accomplish more. I do have days where my optimism is drained out and I go back to being self-absorbed. I know that stuff can be tough and pushing them aside will do no good but you will be surprised on how things can change for you by just stepping back to reflect about what happened.

The sun is coming out at last after a week of rain and gloomy days. But yet it feels so good to curl up in bed with a cup of Pho noodle soup, coffee and a good book. I always dream of days that I could actually do that but it seems like it never happens. Every time I have the opportunity to just lounge around, I just happen to think of something else that I could do. I had a good long chat with one of my coworker and she mentioned something that caught my attention. She said that when a woman reach her thirties her metabolism somehow is slower and it is harder to loose weight. I immediately panicked and started to ask some other coworkers if it is true. I found out that most women do believe that everything started to slow down when they reached that age. I have a couple of years more to go before I reach thirty. Even as young as I am now I have slow metabolism so what does that leave me when the time comes. I use to remember when my parents, aunts and uncles, teachers or any old person would scold me, I promised myself that I would never grow old and rather die young. Well after years has passed and growing old seems to be a no win situation, I have come to the realization that no one can stop time. But the process has already began when I noticed little signs of aging. Some of my hair has decided to turn gray and my hands starts to hurt every now and then. I dont think it is the fact of being older that scares most people but it is more of the mental thing where your body will not be as functional compared to when you were at the peak of your young, very young years. Let us just say that your body have earned mileage through the years and started depreciating in value.

Staring at the box
Wondering what went wrong
Staring at the box
Anticipating the next show
Complain and pity
All mixed in my brain
Staring at the box
Wishing for a better life
Staring at the box
Wishing for world peace
Praying so hard for a miracle
That would end war and poverty
Staring at the box
What is the next step
Chips on the couch
Resting my feet on the coffee table
My eyes slowly loosing control
Went fast asleep
Ready for a new day
Hoping it would be better than yesterday
Stood up and washed my face
Sat down in the sofa with a hot cup of tea
Then stared at the box

Despite the stampede in Wowowee and the landslide in Leyte here comes the State of Emergency. But even before all these happened we all know that Filipinos are already facing problems in high prices of gas, food and major living expenses. It is so depressing to watch the Philippine news and to hear all about the calamities that just happened. Living there as a middle class family was already hard so I could not imagine the life of the poor. Yet no matter what anybody say, being a Filipino is something that I am proud of. We may not always see eye to eye when it comes to politics and religion. But yet we fight the same struggle for human rights and to live a better life.
