The Piano
I've always wanted to learn how to play the piano. When I was in grade school, I had this classmate who took piano lesson after class, during that time I would go with her in the piano room while waiting for her piano teacher and while me, waiting for my Grandmother to picked me up. During those times that classmate would taught me how to read the notes on that Grade1 red color piano book and I could still remember how we played the "chopstick" ... hmm.. now I'm planning to pursue my dream? learning to play the piano.. heheheh.. soon i will post some of my videos while playing the piano... =)
Pelaez Sports Center, Cagayan de Oro City
Yesterday was my first jogging exercise here in the city together with my friend Angie (booba for short...) =p ... I was amazed by the new look of the track and field area its now rubberized and clean =) but don't be shocked.entrance fee is Php 30.00... hmm 30.00 is quite expensive if you're going to compare it with Abellana Sports Center in Cebu (10.oo to 15.00 only). But I think for now paying 30.00 is fine with me than enrolling to a gym... wish me luck then..to a healthy new me!!!

"21 Guns" by GreenDay
Do you know what's worth fighting for,
When it's not worth dying for?
Does it take your breath away
And you feel yourself suffocating?
Does the pain weigh out the pride?
And you look for a place to hide?
Did someone break your heart inside?
You're in ruins.
One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
You and I
When you're at the end of the road
And you lost all sense of control
And your thoughts have taken their toll
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Your faith walks on broken glass
And the hangover doesn't pass
Nothing's ever built to last
You're in ruins.
One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
You and I
Did you try to live on your own
When you burned down the house and home?
Did you stand too close to the fire?
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone
When it's time to live and let die
And you can't get another try
Something inside this heart has died
You're in ruins.
One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky (x2)
you and I.
Irregular Menstrual Cycles Bring Higher Risk of Diabetes - Women Need to Eat Right and Exercise
Just thought of sharing this article from http://www.diagnosemefirst.com/ while I was researching about Tonsillitis. Although its not related to what I was searching but it really got my attention.
"Having an irregular or absent menstrual cycle is one of the dominant characteristics of polycystic ovary syndrome, a hormonal disorder that still is somewhat a mystery today and affects as many as one in 10 women. The condition is known to be associated with reduced fertility, but the evidence is mounting that it also increases a woman's risk of developing diabetes.
Now a newly published study offers the best evidence to date that menstrual cycle irregularity is directly linked to type 2 diabetes risk. Researchers at Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital and the Harvard School of Medicine followed more than 100,000 women participating in the Nurses Health Study II, the largest ongoing study of risk factors for chronic diseases in women.
Young women with cycles of more than 40 days or cycles that were too irregular to estimate were found to be twice as likely to develop diabetes as those with normal cycles. The increased risk was seen even when the researchers accounted for obesity, which is a common characteristic of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and a well-established risk factor for diabetes. The findings were reported Nov. 21 in The Journal of the American Medical Association.
"Women and their doctors need to be aware that irregular menstrual cycles could have broader ramifications than those that they normally think of," lead author Caren G. Solomon, MD, tells WebMD. "We know that women with PCOS have higher rates of diabetes ..., independent of their weight. We also know from other data that the majority of women with irregular cycles probably have PCOS."
The findings suggest that maintaining a healthy weight may be even more important for women who have been diagnosed with PCOS or have irregular cycles. Obesity, specifically excess weight around the abdomen, is a characteristic feature of PCOS. Having an 'apple shape' body type is also a specific risk factor for diabetes and heart disease.
A soon-to-be published national study suggests that those at high risk for diabetes can cut that risk in half by losing a modest amount of weight and exercising regularly as little as 30 minutes a day. Researchers found that moderate weight loss and exercise were twice as effective as taking medication at reducing risk.
"We know that no matter what your risk factors are, maintaining a healthy weight and exercising are key to reducing your risk of this disease," diabetes researcher Edward E. Horton, MD, tells WebMD. Horton, is director of clinical research at Boston's Joslin Diabetes Center and a professor at Harvard Medical School.
"No matter what your cycles are, we know that being overweight and being sedentary are risk factors for diabetes," Solomon adds. "But I think the important message here is that obesity clearly exacerbates the risk that is associated with an irregular cycle. Every woman should eat a healthy diet and get regular exercise, but this is group that may stand to benefit from that even more than others."

Celebrating Independence Day!!
The Official Flag of the Republic of the Philippines.The Philippines celebrated its Independence Day every July 4, the date in 1946 that the United States granted independence to the nation, until 1962, when President Diosdado Macapagal signed the Presidential Proclamation No. 28, changing the official celebration to June 12, the date in 1898 that Emilio Aguinaldo declared the nation's independence from Spain.
On June 12, 1998, the nation celebrated its centennial year of Independence from Spain. The celebrations were held simultaneously nationwide by then President Fidel V. Ramos and Filipino communities worldwide. A commission was established for the said event, the National Centennial Commission headed by former Vice President Salvador Laurel presided all events around the country. One of the major projects of the commission was the Expo Pilipino, a grand showcase of the Philippines' growth as a nation for the last 100 years, located in the Clark Special Economic Zone (formerly Clark Air Base) in Angeles City, Pampanga.

Eraserheads The Final Set Concert

The Reunion Concert
The most awaited day for all the die hard fans of the Eraserheads. Here's a little info of the band for those of you who don't know them. According to Wiki...
"In 1989, two college bands from the University of the Philippines, Diliman were both in search of new members for a new group. Curfew, which consisted of Buddy Zabala on bass, Raimund Marasigan on drums and Marcus Adoro on guitars, met up with Sunday School, which consisted of Ely Buendia on vocals and Raimund as sessionist drummer in December of the same year. Ely's first two college bands (Bluidie Tryste and Sunday School) were too unstable, so he decided to post an audition notice on a university message board. Only Raimund, Buddy, and Marcus showed up (Raimund was first since he knew Ely and performed with him before, then Buddy and Marcus were next). According to an interview with Myx, Raimund said he first auditioned as bassist while Buddy as drummer. But they noticed that it did not sound right, the two switched places, and the rest was history.
The four decided to form a new group, calling themselves The Eraserheads. The band took their name from the movie "Eraserhead" by surrealist director David Lynch, which they picked up while reading a magazine. They did mostly covers, playing every gig in school they've managed to get into. Eventually, they made the rounds of Manila's rock club circuit, achieving little success.
The band found that they weren't good at playing covers, so they concentrated on writing their own material instead. "After all, if we committed a mistake, no one would recognize it since they don't know the song, right?" Buendia explained [5]. Their new, original songs, played live, soon earned them a cult following in the university, which gradually spread outside the campus. One of the songs, a pop song entitled, "Pare Ko," became very popular, partly because of lyrics that included a few obscenities.
The band recorded a nine-song demo tape in the garage of Marasigan's provincial home (in Candelaria, Quezon) on January 6, 1991.[6] They then shopped the demo cassette around record labels, clubs and radio stations, hoping to have their songs reach the public. However, they were rejected at every turn, with one recording label deeming that their demo was "not pop enough". In May 1991, a professor-friend teaching Humanities, Robin Rivera, helped them re-record and mix better versions of the demo songs on a four-track DAT recorder.The new demo was named Pop-U!, an irreverent response to those who turned them down.
Meanwhile, Buendia became employed as a student copywriter by BMG Records Pilipinas (now part of Sony BMG Music Entertainment). He worked with BMG during the day and wrote songs with the band during the night. Eventually, the songs of Buendia and the band caught the attention of BMG A&R Director Vic Valenciano. Valenciano listened to the songs and then commented that they were very raw technically, but that there was something promising in them. Subsequently, BMG gave the Eraserheads' songs a try.[3] In 1992, BMG signed up the Eraserheads for a three-year record deal."
