Giving the credit where the credit is due.

I'm not really a fan of this AlDub whatever... And I don't even watch EatBulaga, but again I have to give the credit where the credit is due. I like to thank EatBulaga for their plan of giving the earnings of the "Tamang Panahon" concert last Saturday (October 24, 2015)  at the Philippine Arena to help built libraries and class room to schools all over the Philippines. A gift of knowledge is a best thing you can give, specially to the young Filipinos. 

For that, I salute you and more power.

October is Cancer Awareness Month

October is Cancer Awareness Month / Breast cancer Awareness Month / Liver Cancer Awareness Month. Every year many people die because of cancer and it is considered as the second cause of death (next to heart disease). Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, no matter your race or ethnicity, and believe me, men can also die because of breast cancer.

It is very important to know the symptoms.  If the cancer is located only in the breast, the five-year relative survival rate of people with breast cancer is 99%. If the cancer has spread to the regional lymph nodes, the five-year survival rate is 85%. If the cancer has spread to a distant part of the body, the five-year survival rate is 25%. For all stages combined, the five-year survival rate for breast cancer is 89%, the 10-year rate is 83%, and the 15-year rate is 78%.

Education and and healthy lifestyle is the key to prevent cancer. Let us all join hands - you may be saving the life of your own love one.

Happy with a "Y" and not with an "I."

THE PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS

One movie that open my mind that the journey to success is not an easy road, but the destination will be quite awesome.

"Hey. Don't ever let somebody tell you you can't do something. Not even me. All right? You got a dream. You gotta protect it. People can't do something themselves, they wanna tell you you can't do it. If you want something, go get it. Period."

In 1981, San Francisco salesman Chris Gardner (Will Smith) invests his entire life savings in portable bone-density scanners, which he demonstrates to doctors and pitches as a handy quantum leap over standard X-rays. The scanners play a vital role in Chris' life. While he is able to sell most of them, the time lag between the sales and his growing financial demands enrage his already bitter and alienated wife Linda (Thandie Newton), who works as a hotel maid. The financial instability increasingly erodes their marriage, in spite of them caring for their five-year-old son, Christopher (Jaden Smith)...

 So now I know why I should always spell HAPPY with a "Y" and not with an "I."

Getting ready for "The Big One."

Because of recent earthquakes happening in the world, the Philippines is getting ready for the "Big One."

The largest Earthquake Drill will be held in Metropolitan Manila which starts at 10:30 am. Some 5-6 million people are expected to participate in the July 30 Metro Manila shake drill to test the resiliency of the people in case a 7.2-magnitude earthquake or stronger hits the metropolis, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) said on Wednesday.

“A total of 538 organizations have signified their intent to join the drill. All public and private schools and universities will join, as well as hospitals, religious sectors, business process outsourcing companies, business groups, malls and even transport groups,” MMDA Chair Francis Tolentino said.

For more information about the shake drill on 30 July, people can visit Be Prepared Metro Manila or Metro Manila Shake Drill for more details.
