Let us continue praying for these wrong doings to stop.  Let us pray for each other especially to those people causing these torments, pain and suffering. We need more LOVE and less hate in this WORLD, our WORLD!♥

Last week I received a sad news that one of my "barkada" ( close friends ) in high school passed away.  I was in total shock and I couldn't believe it since I was just talking to her last March 3.  Same old energetic, lively and funny person: when I picked up her call.  It was quite a long conversation: "chika" (gossip) galore, catching up with each other.  We don't often see each other any more since she now lives in Bulacan.   Though I know she had been sickly since 2010 when she was diagnosed to have diabetes, three years after she started to undergo dialysis thrice a week.  Almost blind, that is why she can no longer see  and read our updates on Facebook.  When we went to her wake this weekend, I was stunned with the stories of her husband, of how strong she was to handle her situation.  When other people on the same situation might have given up.  The husband is an OFW: her 17 years old daughter takes care of her and is ...

Few weeks ago I came across a Facebook shared post about essential oils ( click here to read ) and what can they do on certain sickness specifically cancer.  Lately there had been health issues on both sides of my family and I am into researching and reading on things regarding natural remedies and cures.  What food to eat and those we should avoid.  Living a healthy lifestyle is one of my major goals this year.  I am trying my best to lessen my sugar intake and drink more water.  I am almost mid-40 (menopause is just around the corner) so I know should take care of myself more: by exercising, getting enough sleep and eating the right kind of foods. Frankincense or i call it Frank: sounds familiar right? It's one of the gifts of the Three kings to Baby Jesus... Remember Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh?  In tagalog it's called "kamanyang": it is used for incense or incenso in a Catholic mass, especially during Holy week.  I never thought that it h...
