Little girl's faith

A little girl went to her bedroom and pulled a glass jelly jar from its hiding place in the closet. She poured the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Three times, even. The total had to be exactly perfect. No chance here for mistakes. Carefully placing the coins back in the jar and twisting on the cap, she slipped out the back door and made her way 6 blocks to Rexall's Drug Store with the big red Indian Chief sign above the door.

She waited patiently for the pharmacist to give her some attention but he was too busy at this moment. Tess twisted her feet to make a scuffing noise. Nothing. She cleared her throat with the most disgusting sound she could muster. No good. Finally she took a quarter from her jar and banged it on the glass counter. That did it! "And what do you want?" the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of voice. I'm talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven't seen in ages," he said without waiting for a reply to his question.

"Well, I want to talk to you about my brother." Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone. "He's really, really sick...and I want to buy a miracle." "I beg your pardon?"said the pharmacist. "His name is Andrew and he has something bad growing inside his head and my Daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?" "We don't sell miracles here, little girl. I'm sorry but I can't help you," the pharmacist said, softening a little.

"Listen, I have the money to for it. If it isn't enough, I will get the rest. Just tell me how much it costs." The pharmacist's brother was well dressed man, He stooped down and asked the little girl, "What kind of a miracle does your brother need? "I don't know," Tess replied with her eyes welling up. I just know he's really sick and Mommy says he needs an operation, but my Daddy can't pay for it, so I want to use my money.

"How much do you have?" asked the man from Chicago. "One dollar and eleven cents," Tess answered barely audibly and it's all the money I have, but I can get some more if I need to."

Well, what a coincidence, smiled the man. A dollar and eleven cents...the exact price of a miracle for little brothers. He took her money in one hand and with the other hand he grasped her mitten and said "take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let's see if I have the miracle you need."

That well dressed man was Doctor Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon, specializing in neuro-surgery. The operation was completed free of charge and it wasn't long until Andrew was home again and doing well.

Mom and Dad were happily talking about the chain of events that had led them to this place. That surgery, her Mom whispered...was a real miracle. I wonder how much it would have cost?

Tess smiled. She knew exactly how much a miracle cost...one dollar and eleven cents...plus the faith of a little child.

Holiday Shopping Safety Tips

The holiday season is a time when people are busy and can become careless, vulnerable to theft and other holiday related crimes. Shopping during the holiday season can present unique dangers. Taking a few preventive measures can help keep your holiday season joyous and safe.

• Dress casually and comfortably
• Shop during daylight hours whenever possible. If you must shop at night, go with a friend or family member and park in well lit areas, even though you are rushed and thinking about a thousand things, stay alert to your surroundings.
• Beware of strangers approaching you for any reason. At this time of year, con artists may try various methods of distracting you with the intention of taking your money or belongings.
• Do not buy items from strangers who might be trying to fence shoplifted items.
• Avoid overloading yourself with packages. It is important to have clear visibility and freedom of motion to avoid mishaps.
• Secure all packages in the trunk of your car. Do not leave packages in open sight.
• Shop at well on-line sites and ship gifts directly to out of town family and friends. Many stores offer shipping services also.
• Avoid wearing expensive jewelry
• Do not carry large purses or wallets.
• Be extra careful if you do carry a wallet or purse. They are the prime targets of criminals in crowded shopping areas, transportation terminals, bus stops, on buses and other rapid transit.
• Carry your identification card along with minimum necessary cash, checks and credit cards and expect to use.
• Pay for purchases with a check or credit card when possible
• Keep cash in your front pocket
• Keep a record of all of your credit card numbers in a safe place at home
• Notify the credit card issuer immediately if your credit card is lost, stolen or misused.
  

The Snow

Snow this year came so early than I least expect. It poured out heavier each day, together with its cool, blowing of the wind. Its breeze flashed through my lonely face as I beheld the snow flakes fall. Looking through my room window, the snow spread quickly through the streets and covered the houses, trees, cars, fences and all other form of surface outdoor.

News forecast road accidents due to slippery streets, some schools were closed while some areas

experienced power failure. Sensing peril in traveling for work by myself too, I decided staying home would mean my comfort. Still looking through the window, I wondered should the snow stop the following day? But to my dismay, it even grew thicker and thicker.

As I felt so helpless over the condition of my environment, I thought of a solution to my situation. Geared with my snow wear and shovel on my hand, I bravely went out of my front yard and started digging and moving the snow out of the way. Though heavy as it may seem to me, I was decided to do it. Pretty soon some passers-by saw me and commented to what I did. "Oh! it's a hard work for you, they said with a smile". I nodded in response but what amazed me most was...when most of them cared to say, "Thank you!" fascinated my tiresome day and strengthened my feeble hands.

At times, anyone's smile can inspire, much more, simple words of gratitude may mean a whole lot of strength to a weak, vulnerable spirit.

It was all worth it...I got paid off a thousand times over.

Top Ten Anti-Cancer Food

Bobot sent me this e-mail and I want to share it with you enjoy reading ......

Modifying your diet to reduce fat intake and to increase fiber, antioxidants and other key nutrients can be done by simply making healthy selections at the grocery store.

Top ten anti-cancer food:
Strawberries family
Oranges
Tea
Carrots
Spinach
Tomatoes
Garlic
Whole meat
Cabbage
Beans

These foods carry protective phytochemicals, which are "plant chemicals" that may reduce heart disease and cancer risk. Learn more about you can eat for health. There is no question that we can make healthful food choices to reduce our chances of developing certain types of cancer, especially cancer of the breast, prostate and colon. Modifying your diet to reduce fat intake and to increase fiber, antioxidants and other key nutrients can be done by simply making healthy selections at the grocery store. Here are some healthful nutrition tips.

EAT LESS TOTAL AND SATURATED FAT
The average American diet still provides about 38 percent of the calories from fat sources, yet the recommendation of many health organizations is that we strive for closer to 25 percent or less. Check the Nutrition Facts labels on food products to select foods with only 3 grams of total fat or less. It seems that the saturated animal fats are especially cancer cell promoting. Reducing red meat intake may be helpful along with a greater focus on meatless meals, fish and nuts for protien. Include small amounts of protective monounsaturated fats such as olive and canola oils.

EAT MORE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
Protective fiber, antioxidants Vitamin C and beta-carotene and hundreds of phytochemicals naturally found in fruits and vegetables can reduce cancer risk. Fiber binds to cancer-causing substances in the intestinal tract, removing them in waste products. The antioxidant vitamins neutralize damaging free radicals, substances produced by the chemical processes that go on in our bodies every day. Allicin in garlic, genistein in soybeans, and flavonoids in apples, are just a few of the cancer-protective plant substances (phytochemicals).

Living Well

Look good and feel great. Following are the secrets to improve your health, your attitude, and your appearance!

1) Take a multivitamin everyday.
2) Eat fish at least twice a week. The fatty acids will improve your hair and skin.
3) Switch to whole-grain bread with at least 2 grams of fiber per serving.
4) Walk at least 30 minutes daily.
5) Keep your skin moisturized; dry skin looks older than it really is.
6) Avoid fast-and prepackaged foods; the sodium content is hard on your body and skin. Cook at home to have more control of what’s going into your body.
7) Don’t starve yourself; your body needs nutrients to function well.
8) Resistance train. Women over 40 lose a half pound of muscles a year. This slows the metabolism, packs on fat, and makes everyday tasks more difficult.
9) Break your routine, and try new activities to keep your brain and body stimulated.
10) Don’t slouch. Your Mom was right because it makes you look older. Keep your shoulders back and your head up.
11) Spend time with family and friends who build you up and encourage you.
12) Limit time with those who sap your energy.
13) Keep a food and exercise log. (People typically underestimate food consumption by almost 600 calories a day and overestimate their level of capacity.)
14) Sleep at least 7 to 8 hours a night.
15) Stay hydrated, preferably with water or other calorie-free or low-calorie drinks.
16) Limit sun exposure and always wear sunscreen.
17) Learn to deal with stress. Exercise can help.
18) Exfoliate weekly to remove dead skin cells.
19) Get a regular massage to de-stress and improve circulation.
20) We saved the best tip for last; Spend time daily in God’s Word. A healthy relationship with Him is the best beauty treatment available because it works from inside out! And toss the guilt about the time and resources it takes to care for yourself. When you’re at your best-body, mind, and spirit-you can better serve and give to others.

Smell the happines in Oil!

These essential oils are known to elevate mood: rose, chamomile, clary sage, geranium, lemon, ylang ylang.
Find one you really like and mix with a fragrance-free body lotion-or combine a few drops with olive oil, then add to bathwater or apply directly to pulse points.
To use as a skin or air refresher, mix drops with witch hazel and pour into an atomizer. (use oils sparingly: Undiluted essential oils can cause allergic reactions.)

Who is in Charge?

A young couple on their wedding night were in their honeymoon suite. As they were undressing for bed, the husband, a big burly man, tossed his trousers to his new bride.

He said, "Here, put these on."

His petite, young bride obeyed and tried to put the pants on. She put them on and the waist was twice the size of her body. "I can't wear your trousers." she said.

"That's right,'' said the husband, "and don't you ever forget it.

I'm the man who wears the pants in this family." His young bride took the pants off. Then, she continued undressing.

Suddenly, she flipped him her panties and said,"Try these on." Her big burly husband tried them on and found he could only get them on as far as his kneecaps. "Hell," he said. ''I can't get into your panties!"

She replied, "That's right... And that's the way it is going to stay!! Until your attitude changes."

My Stress Reliever Electric Bus

I am just too dependent with the eco-friendly electric bus. I probably ride this bus more often than any other typical commuters here within the suburb. I commute as often as three round trips daily to show up to my regular care giving job, one part time cleaning job, another part time care giving job, attend church activities, and more often if I opt for window shopping to get away from the rat race and relieve my stress.

A ride within the zone cost $2.25. If I come back in short time then there will be no additional charges. In short, round trip within the designated zone within the time stamped in the ticket is a one Ticket Pass. But that rarely happens since I stay in one place longer than the two hours most. To save more bucks for the ride, I decided to buy the monthly fare card which cost $69, saving as much as $20.

When will I end my dependency on the bus? Maybe when I get my drivers license, or when the suitable Mr. Driver starts giving me a ride, or when my desires are fully sustained. I felt like the electric bus that is tied up to a pair of cable. Attempting to get away from the path will cut away the bus from the cable shutting down its engine. I am just too occupied and couldn’t append my To Do List. But then I have to make ends meet first and for now it is still economical than having a car.

October is Senior Citizens Celebration

It is good to hear about the news, especially coming from my hometown, our way of giving importance to our senior citizens is now in full swing, and for this month of October is devoted to senior citizens celebrations.
There are now several day care centers for the elders, namely the Mobolo Health Center that has already took care of 900 clients since 2002.
The Golden Center of Cebu, Inc. a non-government organization based in the Mabolo parish multi-purpose building. It is duly registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Golden Center holds a free clinic every Thursday and Friday morning for adult age over 60 and above, regardless of economic status. Other services are lay forums, lectures about aging, nutrition, and issues about the elderly. They also provide screening for blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease, screening for depression and nutrition, and for deafness with the help of Manila Hearing Aid.
Also this month, the Center is gearing up for its second annual convention. The two-day convention will deal on the Rights of Older Persons, Legal Aspects in the Care of the Elderly, Myths and Realties of Aging, Challenges in the Care of the Old and the Restless, Under the Government Umbrella, The Aging Lung, The Beauty and the Best, You’ll Never Be Walking in Pain Alone, When the Elders Fall, A Litany of Worries, Sexuality in the Sunset Years, Cataract, Let’s Get Physical and the Big “C”. I hope with these activities with their goal of putting up a new building will soon be a reality.
Let as all share in promoting health to broaden awareness of the positive aspects of aging. Let’s provide information and inspiration for adult age 60 and above. Let us improve their physical, mental, social, and financial fitness.

For our elders, lets establish the following:

1) Choose an exercise you like and stick to it. Do it with someone. Arrange to have a friend meet you. It is harder to say to exercise when you exercise with a friend.
2) Go site seeing. See new things and experience new cultures. Begin to plan a trip. Half the excitement is in the planning!
3) Watch game shows. Watch Game Kana Ba! It keeps your mind razor sharp.
4) Laugh loud, laugh often. A good sense of humor is essential.
5) Volunteer your time. Get involved with a cause you believe in or in something that interests you.
6) Be a beauty queen. An astonishing number of women said they enjoy competing in beauty pageants.
7) If you are a man, get married! Many married men attributed their longevity to the loving care and companionship of their wives.
8) Engage in 30 minutes of aerobic exercise and weight bearing exercise every day.
9) Stay in close contact with friends. Write, text, call or chitchat with your neighbor.
10) Develop a hobby. It’s never too late to learn how to sing Karaoke.
11) Save at least 10% of your income and invest in savings plans that compound interest.
12) Seek inspiration, keep the faith. Believing in a higher power lightens stress.
13) Seek out variety and challenge in your daily life.

All Purpose No Chemicals Homemade Cleaner

For those of us who are so concerned of having too many chemicals around the house, why not try baking soda. I know vinegar and lemon are a good candidate, too yet mixing the three together with the right quantity will create a perfect cleaner. Another benefit of this soda for the budget conscious is it’s economical to use, and will remove any unpleasant odors.

Cleanliness and orderly on all corners of the place I serve has been part of my routine. Sweeping, vacuuming, mopping, you name it, etc. from carpet to ceiling, from seeing thru the tiny drainage to climbing up the roof gutter. Nothing is clean until all areas are thoroughly swept and dust free. I know there are hundreds more of uses that are known around (even my relative use it as a teeth whitening) I will just mention the ones that I have applied in my real day-to-day encounter. Here is how to prepare it:

Deodorizer-
Placing a box in the refrigerator or freezer will absorb that unwanted odor.
Put in your smelly garbage cans.
For carpet deodorizer, mix 1/2 cup of baking soda, 1/2 cup of cornstarch, and 1/4 of tbsp of essential oil fragrance for scent. Sprinkle on the rugs before bedtime and let it sit overnight. Vacuum the ff morning.
Sprinkle some on the mattress before making the bed, removes all odors

Air freshener
Mix equal parts of baking soda with your favorite perfumed bath salts. Put it in a soap dish or in small sachet bags wherever you would like to freshen the air.

Scouring Powder-
Scrub those surfaces like any other commercial abrasive cleansers
Use it like it is
Or to be more liquid, add 2 tablespoons of baking soda to 1 quart of warm water.

Wash dishes making plates shine-
Add 2 tablespoons of baking soda to 1 quart of water to the dishwasher

Clean the Toilet the easy way-
Sprinkle 1/2 box of baking soda into the toilet tank once a month.
Let it stay overnight before flushing. Both tank and the bowl will be clean and refresh.

Grout
Put baking soda directly on the grout, do a small area at a time. Then add vinegar on top of the baking soda. Let it bubble, and then proceed to clean with an old toothbrush. Depending on how extent the grout’s stain is, you may have to do it twice.

Clogged or slow Drainage-
Mix one cup of baking soda to one cup of hot vinegar, wait for a few minutes then, flush the drain with one gallon of hot water. It is more eco friendly than Drano and the like. Please be careful in handling hot water, and wear gloves

Shine that porcelain Sink-
Sprinkle baking soda all over the sink, squirt some bleach on top of the baking soda, let sit and then wipe clean. The baking soda soaks up the bleach, keeping it from dripping away

Enhance your Laundry
Add 1/2 cup of baking soda to the washing machine along with your usual amount of liquid laundry soap. It will make whites whiter and colors brighter. Please note that it won’t work with powdered detergents

Coffee cleaner –
Drip it to your coffee pot. Mix 1/4 cup of baking soda and one cup of warm water. Let it drip through the coffee maker. Make more runs with fresh water to rinse. It will keep your coffee maker clean and fresh.

Teapot cleaner –
To remove rust stains and mineral deposits, fill the teapot with water, 2 tbsp of baking soda and the juice of half a lemon. Boil gently for 15 minutes. Rinse and repeat if needed.

Shine that Silver-
In a heat resistant glass bowl, put that tarnished sterling. Add 1/2 cup of baking soda and some aluminum foil into the bowl. Then, pour some hot water to it. It will bubble, and in a few minutes the aluminum foil will turn darker and the silver will turn shiny. Rinsed the piece, buffed it dry and never spent a penny on silver cleaner again

Pesticide nontoxic-
Sprinkle some baking soda along their trails, under sinks near pipe openings and along basement windows to repel ants, silver fish and roaches. Roaches will dehydrate and die after eating baking soda.

Remove crayon marks from walls by scrubbing gently with an old toothbrush and a paste of baking soda and water.

A glass of milk

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door.

Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it so slowly, and then asked, How much do I owe you?" You don't owe me anything," she replied. "Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness."

He said ... "Then I thank you from my heart."

As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit. Many year's later that same young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room. Dressed in his doctor's gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day he gave special attention to her case.

After a long struggle, the battle was won.

Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it, then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room. She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all. Finally she looked, and something caught her attention on the side of the bill. She read these words ...
"Paid in full with one glass of milk"
(Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly.

Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed: "Thank You, God, that Your love has spread broad through human hearts and hands."

There's a saying which goes something like this:
Bread cast on the waters comes back to you. The good deed you do today may benefit you or someone you love at the least expected time. If you never see the deed again at least you will have made the world a better place - And, after all, isn't that what life is all about?

Disadvantage? I noticed that their exchange rate is somewhat lower compare to other Filipino owned door to door services. So before you decide, you may want to used the calculator to compare the fees on delivery against the exchange rate.

Flowers

A business was moving into bigger quarters and one of the owner's friends wanted to send flowers for the occasion. They arrived at the new business site and the owner read the card; it read "Rest in Peace."
The owner was angry and called the florist to complain. After he had told the florist of the obvious mistake and how angry he was, the florist said, "Sir, I'm really sorry for the mistake, but rather than getting angry, you should imagine this: somewhere there is a funeral taking place today, and they have flowers with a note saying, 'Congratulations on your new location.'

6 Foods that will make you beautiful!

Nourishing the inside of your body is just as important as pampering the outside. Eat your way to good health and great looks with these beauty boosting superfoods:

1)Wrinkle busting blueberries – Just half a cup of these antioxidant packed gems can help rebuild collagen and stave off wrinkles, says Tufts University researchers.
2)Nail growing soya – shoot for at least five grams of soya per day, and you can bet on longer, stronger nails, report dermatologists at the University of Alabama
3)Face softening fish – fatty fish like salmon, sardines and tuna are swimming with skin softening omega-3 fatty acids, which replenish skin’s natural lubricants, says Dr. Grossman
4)Skin saving avocado – according to research at the University of California, it’s loaded with vitamin E which boosts elasticity
5/6)Age erasing cantaloupe and tomatoes – both are loaded with lycopene, which helps prevent wrinkles and gives you a youthful glow, says Nicolas Perricone, M.D.

Mixed uP! Heat or ice to an injury?

Ice is always the best choice at first, says Dr. Matthew Shapiro, a spokesperson for the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons. Iced decreases swelling by restricting blood flow to the area. Cold also reduces pain. “If you put ice on a sore knee for 20 minutes, it could give you 2 hours of pain relief”, says Shapiro. Place a thin towel between the ice and your skin. After 20 minutes, remove the ice pack and wait an equal length of time before reapplying it. Don’t leave it on for longer or you may actually get frostbite. If the ice tray is empty, use a bag of frozen vegetables (peas and corn work well). Use caution when using blue frozen gel packs, says Karen Merrill, a spokesperson for the American Council on Exercise. “If there’s any kind of rupture, that stuff will burn,” says Merrill, who has seen clients with second and third degree burns from chemical inside. In fact, it might be best to avoid them altogether. After 48 hours of treatment with ice, you can use heat to address any lingering stiffness and muscle soreness, Shapiro says. “It helps loosen things up.” Apply a heating pad or hot water bottle for 20 minutes every hour or so. Repeat as needed. Better Homes and Gardens, Kathleen Parrish

Really, a free internet calls?

I was trying to find out the validity of this websites internetcalls, and jajah to make free calls. The way it works is somewhat different from the regular internet calls, though they have the sip (session initiation protocol) option. From the main site, I punched in my cell phone number starting 001 Canadian international code. Next, I punched in the destination number. I decided to call my friend in the U.S. which is listed as one of the countries listed as free calls. Suddenly I heard my cell phone ringing. From my cell phone I heard my friend saying hello.
Wow, I got excited; I was talking to my friend! Then after awhile I thought about something. I checked my cell phone call log and surely it says call received from my friend. I text'd her up and her call log said same, too.
Who initiated the call? Your guess are better than mine.
I hope my telephone carrier won’t charge me, hehehe.

PC getting more and more Affordable

I was planning to send a desktop pc to my niece until I came across this promo from a famous pc outlet store, Ngenius IT Hub, Metro Cebu. Why buy overseas, let’s go local. With free installation and no hassle warranty, I am sure I’ll have my money worth. Aren’t you glad you’re helping out our economy?

Eat Meal That Makes Women Thin!

Researchers recently studied the eating habits of nearly 3,000 volunteers who had lost an average of 70lbs and kept it off for 6 years. Their findings? A whopping 78% ate breakfast every single day. People often say eating breakfast makes them hungrier the rest of the day, but that’s probably because they’re eating the wrong foods.
Refined carbohydrates like doughnuts or pastries that cause blood sugar to rise and then drop, which leads to that very hungry feeling midmorning.
However a breakfast menu of juice, whole grain cereal, toast or waffles, with fresh fruit and a glass of fat free milk provides you with complex carbohydrate and protein for just 400-450 calories
.. and it will keep you feeling satisfied all morning
.…and skinny for years!!!

My first blogging month

It’s almost a month now since I started blogging and yeah with all the hectic to do lists that I have been courageously dealing with, added to the caring of my lovely golden girls, Nana, etc, plus dusting off Mr. Woo’s mansion, with all those church activities, I‘m surprised and can’t imagine how in this digital world I did survived. I know it is still a long way to go.
Thanks for all you pushers, the instruments who have been in more ways influenced me so much and have played a special part of my blogging mainstream.
Although the web page format is not as pro looking like other sites, I am slowly yet delightfully sharpening my writing ability, striving to tweak my mother tongue Cebuano, English, Tagalog lingual twist.
My message is simple and clear. As one of those thousands overseas workers who have been tirelessly wandering around the world, I enjoy with pride sharing the information and experiences I gained that I came across, may it be educational, entertaining or failures and hoping that somehow serve lessons and affect others daily lives in a positive way. The road is quite long and narrow and I believed as what a lot of us OFW used to sigh “there is always light at the end of the tunnel.”
