How To Be Happy?
For today's entry I would like to share with you an article written by Dr. Willie Ong thru his column in the Philippine Star last Tuesday, November 25, 2008, the article I would like to share with is all about how to be happy? In this article Dr. Ong give us a tip on how to be happy. So read the article & I do hope that you learn something like I do.
"• Decide to be happy. Make a plan. Think of ways and things that bring you happiness. Set happy goals not just for yourself but include others, too. Then, think of what to do next.
• Use your talents. Identify your strengths. Can you sing, dance, draw, paint, write, or speak? Find and cultivate these strengths of yours. Focus on them and they will bring you confidence and satisfaction. Do what you were meant to do in this world.
• Play. Play with your kids. Have fun with friends. Take time to relax and play. There’s nothing wrong with having fun and liking your work. Go through your normal day in an easy and light manner.
• Be curious. Try to see happiness around you. Watch the sunrise, feel the cool breeze, listen to the birds chirping and see people smiling. Nature is full of happiness.
• Count your blessings. Be grateful and happy with what you have. Accept the blessings that you have and think positively about the things you do not have. Maybe you weren’t meant to get it anyway and that something better is in store. Look at the bright side always.
• Like yourself. Everybody commits a mistake at some point in their lives. It’s part of our learning process, whether it’s because of our youth or ignorance. Try to make amends on the mistakes you made and then let it go. A wise man said that it’s the things we didn’t do that we later regret, and not the things and mistakes that we did.
• Pamper yourself. After a long work day, treat yourself to a warm, refreshing bath. Enjoy your favorite magazine. Tinker around with your hobbies. And when you feel like a kid, bring out the child in you.
• Enjoy close relationships. A unique study shows that talking to a supportive friend is as effective as taking a tablet of pain reliever. There is something heavenly in true and caring friends. Invest your time in building close relationships. They are as good as money in the bank.
• Find positive people. Surround yourself with positive and happy people. Find good mentors. They can be the key to your success. Some believe the other person’s good influence and good karma will also bring you luck. Happy people tend to be more supportive of others, too.
• Volunteer to help someone in need. If you want to receive P2,000 worth of happiness, donate P2,000 to your favorite charity. Studies show that the more people give to others, the happier they become.
• Think happy thoughts. Positive thinking proponent Norman Vincent Peale says that if a negative thought should enter your mind, you should immediately block it with a positive one. If a fearful thought crosses your mind, tell yourself that you’ll overcome it, and that you’ll be alright. Think positive.
• See and hear happy news. Read inspiring books. Watch happy movies. Look for the good news in the papers and magazines. Fill your minds with positive and constructive news.
• Laugh. If you watched Patch Adams, you know that the doctor’s secret cure for his patients is to simply make them laugh. Wearing a clown’s makeup, Dr. Adams brings joy to cancer-stricken kids. A study by Dr. Lee Berk shows that watching an hour of comedy movie releases 27 percent more good endorphins in the body. Endorphins help reduce pain and stress, and boost the immune system.
• Follow your instincts. In the best-selling book Blink, author Malcolm Gladwell says our minds can make a wise decision based on our gut feel or intuition. Most of the time, this turns out correctly. In business decisions and relationships, it pays to listen to this inner voice of wisdom.
• Be healthy. Being healthy is a prerequisite to being happy. Get a checkup and see your doctor. Avoid alcohol and cigarettes.
• Eat healthy and exercise. Go for something green or orange. Green leafy vegetables and orange-colored tomatoes, carrots, and citrus fruits are high in antioxidants. Exercise moderately and stay active for your age.
• Find the right amount of stress. Studies show that too much stress from work can lead to anxiety, restlessness, and anger. However, too little stress can also lead to boredom. The secret is in finding the right amount of work that will make you productive and happy.
• Sleep. Make sure that you get adequate sleep and rest, like around seven to eight hours. If you have insomnia, just lying in bed and thinking happy and restful thoughts can relax your body, too.
• Be in love. Gerontology professor Dr. David Demko believes that being in love can prolong one’s life by as much as seven years. Married people or those with close relationships are generally happier compared to single people living alone. If you don’t have a partner, then having a close friend, a pet or a hobby can be a substitute.
• Believe. Studies show that people who have a strong sense of spirituality are 40-percent happier than those who don’t. People who hope for a brighter future and sense a meaning and purpose in their lives are happier and more fulfilled.
• Try to have faith in yourself. Have faith, too, in the goodness of others. And finally, have faith in God. If you’re not happy today, don’t worry, because slowly things will get better. It always does. You have all the resources you need to be happy."

A "Memory Card" Weekend
Last Saturday, Me and my girlfriend decided to update our Nokia 7610 phones, our aim of updating the phone is to have more space for pictures, graphics & mp3 music because me and my girlfriend are music lovers.
So after we eat our merienda, we proceed in buying our memory cards with 512mb because thats the only limit our 7610 can utilized. so the store owner, installed the memory cards to our phones, I was worry at that time bacause in 30 minutes the Mass will start, we attend the anticipated Mass. So the installing of the memory cards is done in time for the mass & we proceed in attending Mass.
After we got home, after we take our dinner with our family, we started texting as we usually do every night. And in the middle of our conversation thru text messages, my phone got hung up & it's hard to send text messages so I text my girlfriend using my father's cellphone number saying that my phone can't send and recieve her text messages and it have a message that blinks "System Failed!"
The next day, that is Sunday, I went to the store to say what happened to my phone & they say "It was infected by virus & it needs to reformat" I say ok to just fix the problem but in my opinion my phone is not infected rather It is their way of making "palusot" & I think the memory card that they install in my phone needs to be compatible to my phone by doing so they "format" my phone.
Anyway, I'm satisfy with my updated phone cause it will now store more picture & more music.

Scroll And Spin Road Watch
Today in our entry, I will tell what I observed when I’m on the road whether on our own vehicle or riding in a public transportation, so let’s title this entry “Scroll And Spin Road Watch” these are my observation here in the major thorough fares of Malolos, Bulacan.
1) People who use bicycles as their mode of transportation use half of the road because they think they riding a car.
2) People who cross the street look like they just walking in the park.
3) Public Utility Vehicles or Passenger Jeepneys always stop when people gathers around the street corner, the driver think they will ride a jeep but to the driver’s disappointment they will just cross the street.
4) Motorcycle riders always make the cut.
5) Motorcycle riders don’t wear proper gear.
6) Public Utility Vehicles or Passenger Jeepneys always load and unload their passenger in the middle of the street.

The Wonders of Gum
When I was in high school my teacher ask my female classmate a hypothetical question (because this female classmate of mine is notorious for chewing gum) so the question & answer goes like this…..
Teacher: (Name of my female classmate), para saan at ngumunguya tayo ng chewing gum?
My female classmate: Para po ma-exercise ang bibig. (deadpan)
And the whole class laugh…..
Then last Tuesday (November 18) I read an article by Dr. Tyrone Reyes thru his column in the Philippine Star
The Wonders of Gum
"It might lose its flavor after a while, but it can still have medicinal value. Research shows that after abdominal surgery, chewing gum for one hour, three times daily, significantly hastens the resumption of normal bowel function and reduces the time patients spend in the hospital. Eating and drinking are also effective but can cause nausea.
“Chewing gum doesn’t put as much in your system if you’re not ready for it, yet it might help stimulate intestinal activity,” says Jeffrey Drebin, MD, professor and chief of gastrointestinal surgery at the University of Pennsylvania. “I encourage my patients to chew gum as soon as they’re awake enough not to choke on it.”
The findings of a study of 158 patients from Imperial College London and published in the August 2008 issue of the Archives of Surgery showed that patients who chewed sugarless gum while recovering from colon surgery for five to 45 minutes had faster return of bowel function, measured in the time it took after surgery for them to pass gas for the first time (a half-day earlier than nonchewers) and to have a first bowel movement (a day earlier). There was no reported problem caused by the gum. The authors explained that sorbitol, a common artificial sweetener in gum, has a known laxative effect.
A 2002 Japanese study also showed that gum-chewing patients recovered faster after laparoscopic colon surgery. Likewise, in 2006, researchers at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in California found that gum chewers who had undergone large-incision abdominal surgery moved their bowels 26 hours earlier than other patients. So with your surgeon’s approval, pack some gum, preferably sugarless, before heading for the hospital.
Studies also suggest that chewing gum can relieve heartburn, which results when acid from the stomach backs up into the esophagus, a disorder called gastro-esophageal reflux. In a 2005 British study, 31 people with this condition consumed a fatty, heartburn-inducing lunch for two days and were randomly selected to chew gum for 30 minutes afterward. Stomach acid levels were significantly lower when they chewed gum. An earlier study found that chewing gum for one hour after breakfast reduced symptoms for up to three hours.
Chewing gum stimulates the production of saliva, which neutralizes acid in the esophagus. “It has the same effect as an antacid,” explains C. Mel Wilcox, MD, professor of medicine at the University of Alabama. The treatment may especially appeal to pregnant women who want to avoid medications."

Kaya Mong Maging DAKILA
Here’s another inspiring video for all of us Filipinos. Listen to the song and be inspired.

DAKILA (nobility) -- Philippine Collective for Modern Heroism is an organization of artists and individuals committed to advocating nobility of thought and action among both their industry peers and their immediate audiences.
The core missions of DAKILA are awareness, education, and involvement - to make the public aware of crucial concerns affecting society, to educate both the audience and, more importantly, themselves about pressing social concerns, which should effectively inform the methods of creative expression and to be consistently and dynamically involved in activities geared toward achieving the common good.
We, in DAKILA, believe that . . .
1. Nobility begins in the mind and ends in action.
2. Nobility knows no social and economic status— all human beings possess aninnate sense of honor and dignity.
3. True nobility is not defined by pedigree or wealth but by one's actions.
4. Art is one of the noblest human endeavors— the only way of expressing the inexpressible.
5. Art does not exist in a vacuum. After his own self, the artist has a responsibility towards the reality that surrounds him.
6. Art may not change the world, but it can change the way we view the world. For true revolution begins in the imagination.
7. We recognize all those who have sacrificed their lives in the past so that our freedom and the nobility of the race may live on— we recognize our heroes, our martyrs, the disciples of the arts who have dedicated themselves to the truest, noblest cause. We honor them by treading the same path.The Philippine society is in the midst of a significant upheaval and that as disciples of the creative act, we are not exempted from the responsibility of helping contribute to positive change.
Now, more than ever, is the time to be DAKILA. ----Vocals: Kat Agarrado (Sinosikat?) . Kalila Aguilos . Gabby Alipe (Urbandub) . Bing Austria (Juan Pablo Dream) Joey Ayala . Bayang Barrios .

Wolfgang Returns
One of the influential Pinoy band of the '90's is Wolfgang. And the Good News is………
WOLFGANG RETURNS WITH DEC 10 CONCERT
WOLFGANG RETURNS WITH DEC 10 CONCERT
They’ve been sleeping for 6 years, but now iconic rock band Wolfgang returns with ‘The Black Christmas Project’ concert at the Eastwood City Central Plaza, Libis (near Ortigas Avenue) on Wednesday, December 10th, at 7 p.m.
The highly anticipated awakening by the band -- widely regarded as the Philippines’ definitive ‘rock gods’ -- is presented by No Fear, LevelUp, and Eastwood City, which is expected to reverberate with Wolfgang’s signature onslaught of thick ferocious sound.
Precision riffs, emphatic beats, power-drenched vocals, colourful licks, driving ostinatos, occasionally jazz-styled basslines and imaginative breaks merge with razor-sharp interplay in Wolfgang's unique style of American-influenced hard rock, heavy metal, grunge and blues-rock. Basti Artadi, Manuel Legarda, Mon Legaspi are joined by Francis Aquino at this ultimate year-ender.
The band's ability to infuse everything they do – be it power ballads, progressive rock songs, bluesy tunes or their harder-hitting material – with strong melodic hooks has made it the only Filipino rock act to be released in both the USA and Japan.
Wolfgang is also the only Filipino heavy metal act to breach platinum records on home ground and receive more than 20 group and individual awards for creative virtuosity, cementing their reputations as stalwarts of the Philippines’ rock Valhalla.
What can fans expect? Says frontman Basti Artadi, “Expect lots of singing, dancing, drinking and all-around head-banging because it's gonna be a hell of a party!” (Tickets are now on sale at Ticketnet (dial 911-555) or place reservations at ticketnet.com.ph.)

Scroll And Spin Experience
It’s exactly three months ago when I started this blog site of mine (August 14, 2008 for that matter, if you want to view/read some of my entry you can do so c”,) )
I’ve learn so many things doing this blog or let say making an entry, it’s just like preparing something for someone that you don’t know who they are but you love to share whats in you right?
To be honest with you my dear Scrollers And Spinners (that’s what I called my readers here in my blog) my intention of making a blog is to make money online, but I was wrong blogging is not just making money but it is also making friends with fellow bloggers all over the world not just to have traffic/ visitors to your blog but to have friends.
One of the requirements to earn in the world of blogging is to have traffic online by doing so you have to connect to your fellow blogger all over the world. The first thing I do is to register myself to the site that promise you to give you more traffic but I don’t like their concept, you have to surf 20+ or 30+ sites and give reviews to other members to that site, just be able to have a rate to become your site viewable to other members. Unfortunately, that scheme may develop crab mentality by which other members will give you undeserving rates to your site, so I had to stop doing that thing to that site.
I learn that blogging is all about making friends online. That is what I learn in blogging.
Here’s what I learn in blogging technically, in the past 3 months of being a blogger.
As a starter, I post my entry every 4pm everyday cause the time zone being set by blogger.com is Pacific Time by which 12 midnight in the United States of America & I only use the basic font style of blogger.com, so you see how ignorant am I c”,)
And as of today, I learn to scheduled my entry, let say I would like to post my entry at 2am, all I have to do is to set a posting time of the entry and the date. And second, I learn to set a time zone in blogger.com, before It set in Pacific Time but now it is set in Manila Time so for my readers in the U.S of A, you gonna catch my new entry in your time zone at exactly 4 in the afternoon.
As for my content of my blog, just like what it says in the header it doesn’t focus only on one certain topic, it just like a journal it covers everything under the sun.
So that’s about it for now and I do hope that you continue reading my blog.
For those who want to experience the real sense of blogging try mybloglog.com, it make wonders to your blog and also try entrecard.com

Article about Ms. Kara David
Last Thursday, I was reading Philippine Star under Entertainment section when I read a column of Mr. Butch Francisco entitled “Addressing the Issue of Poverty” by which he interviewed Ms. Kara David, host of the TV program “Case Unclosed”
Mr. Francisco tell her the plight of the poor and here is her reaction which I quote her answer
“Why are the poor, poor? We should never blame the poor for the situation they are in. Nobody wants to be poor. Some people say hindi daw yun kahirapan but katamaran. I don’t believe that. I’ve seen various faces of poverty especially in the provinces. The parents are hardworking. The children are devoted to their studies, nevermind, if they have to walk five hours or climb five mountains to get to school. I’ve seen children who live in place without electricity and they study only with the aid of gas lamps. I’ve seen parents who spend the whole day at sea diving for sea urchins, braving strong currents, risking their lives so that they have money for the allowances of their kids. And what do they get at the end of the day? P50! That can’t buy you rice and viand. How can you blame them for their poverty?
Of course, may mga tao din na abusado, mga taong sanay mamalimos ng awa, mga taong on-cue kung umiyak, sinungaling at manloloko, mga magnanakaw.
And she quotes Jose Rizal as for the lack of sense of nationhood
“He said that a man in the Philippines is only an individual, He is not a member of the nation. Whether in government, at work or in our homes, ang konsepto ng bayan hanggang pamilya lang hanggang pansarili lang. Rizal’s challenge to us is to expand our notion of country. Rizal calls it sentimiento nacional. I call it malasakit”
Ms. David has set up her own Project Malasakit, it is a scholarship project for the poor but deserving children.
Then Mr. Francisco ask her a question “If she were the president of this country, how would she address the issue of poverty?” and she answered “I will never enter politics. I think I can serve my country better as a journalist. A journalist na may malasakit. You don’t have to be a president to serve this country. You only have to be a Filipino who cares for others.”
That was an article I read in the Philippine Star very inspiring.
I would like to use a word that Ms. David describe herself as a journalist “A journalist na may malasakit” bato bato sa langit ang tamaan, magbago, I know a person who is in the same field as Ms. David but he/she has a hidden agenda to become popular and later on run in the public office, so young and yet……

My Best Wasn't Good Enough
Coming from the song of James Ingram's Just Once "I did my best but I guess my best wasn't good enough" that line in the song was best describe what I feel today, not in the sense of heartbreak but in the sense of giving your all in the things that you love to do but it fall short or no one appreciate my effort.
I brave the storm, I give all my time and I hope for the best to come but it failed.

9 Months Since...
Today, it is exactly 9 months since my last airing at the local radio station here.
During the past 9 months, many things have happen, some people I know have get their jobs so easily while for me, I have a hard time getting one. But I hope I will get one before Christmas or before me and my girlfriend celebrated our 2nd anniversary. God Willing.
As from now on, I'm willing to face a challenge that I have been avoiding during the past 9 months.

Can I Borrow $25?
Here’s a touching entry for today, actually I get this piece of story from my multiply account, it was posted by ssubzzero through his multiply account: http://ssubzzero.multiply.com/journal/item/569, so enjoy reading!
"A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.
SON : 'Daddy, may I ask you a question?' DAD : 'Yeah sure, what it is?' replied the man. SON : 'Daddy, how much do you make an hour?'
DAD : 'That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?' the man said angrily.
SON : 'I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?'
DAD : 'If you must know, I make $50 an hour.'
SON : 'Oh,' the little boy replied, with his head down.
SON : 'Daddy, may I please borrow $25?'
The father was furious, 'If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I don't work hard everyday for such childish frivolities.'
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?
After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down , and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $25.00 and he really didn't ask for money very often.
The man went to the little boy's room and opened the door. 'Are you asleep, son?' he asked. 'No daddy, I'm awake,' replied the boy. 'I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier,' said the man. 'It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $25 you asked for.'
The little boy sat straight up, smiling. 'Oh, thank you daddy!' He yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father. 'Why do you want more money if you already have some?' the father grumbled.
Because I didn' have enough, but now I do,' the little boy replied. 'Daddy, I have $50 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.'
The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he begged for his forgiveness. It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life.
We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts.
Do remember to share that $50 worth of your time with someone you love. If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of hours.
But the family & friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives."
