Sure, soda tastes good but water is good for our health "people need to drink water", here's a simple comparison people should understand. Drinking Carbonated soda alone do not contain any beneficial nutrients in our body but contribute excessive calories and sugar to our diet. 1.) It can lead to dehydration for caffeine is a natural diuretic and causes our body to excrete through urine, people may suffer from the effects of dehydration like thirsty and even fatigue. 2.) It can also contribute to tooth decay and dental cavities for sweet and sugary beverages coat your tongue, teeth & gums after drinking soda's. 3.) It may cause of gaining weight for it contains an alarming amount of sugar, calories and harmful additives While drinking water has the opposite effect 1.) Drinking water keeps you fully hydrated so you can drink it ...

Looking back during my then boyfriend and now my husband's proposal, i remember i was writing about the NO proposal policy during my first meeting with him so there we go, we did it "no proposal" and we enjoyed our moment together. So as he left from the Philippines, we continue sending messages to each other from Philippines Airport to the place where he get his connecting flight going back home to Tennessee and so when he get home we talk with video again the way we use to be before he came to the Philippines and then i let him rest because i am sure he was so tired and exhausted from the 2 days flight, but before he said bye for now take a rest, he told me that he wants to say something that is very important and so i listen... and guess what is it????? charaaaannn!!!!! "Aloha, before i left from the Philippines, i already have decided, i want to marry you, i shouldn't have ask you this here (online) but i don't want to waste and wait more time to be with...

From a workaholic & independent single Lady to a full time mom & housewife, how about that? and yes, its a very big change in my life and to be honest its not that easy to do than i thought it would be although, i can say that this is a good change in my life for there is no way i can be happy to be alone for the rest of my life and definitely i am happy with  my decision. Thinking about my life in the past before i get married, i live alone in a rented room, wash my own clothes when needed, work for an average of 10 hours a day 6 days a week , go shopping, eat out, treat my nephew and be with my brother's family (the only family live near me), party and going to the gym sometimes for my belly dancing lesson..  and how my life now since i get married and have a baby are, wake up at 5:30 in the morning or 6:00, prepare breakfast for my baby and hubby and feed my baby then send hubby to work make sure things  are all set clothes are clean, thing are complete ...

Breastfeeding is known to provide numerous benefits to babies, including protection from diseases ranging from asthma to diabetes although a nursing mother's milk does not normally came in before the fourth or fifth day after birth, but don't give up just yet letting your baby latch even she/he can't get milk for breastfeeding can be challenging and sometimes tricky at first, but its usually gets much better and easier once mom and baby learn the ropes, and believe me mom and baby will both enjoy the benefits out of it. here's the picture of a healthy happy baby of mine, make it possible to your baby too Baby who is breastfeed does receive colostrum, a thin, yellowish fluid containing proteins and antibodies that protect the her from infection and illness, baby will be healthier not only have fewer fever and colds but reduce the risk of many serious diseases down the line.

Few months ago i have this unbearable pain in tooth, it is impossible to ignore. It starts out as a tiny twinge. Then it escalates to a dull ache that comes and goes. Before long, it becomes a sharp pain that won't stop. It was then the kind of pain that is severe and constant and it wakes me up during the night and eventually swelling to the point that i could hardly open my mouth to eat. We call the doctor but i have to set an appointment to see them and i was so miserable! i have to wait for a week!!! i couldn't bare the pain anymore that even ibuprofen can't help ease the pain so i was reading and searching for any at home remedies to help and here's what i learned: Clove it - An Ancient and effective home remedy for toothaches, oil of cloves applied to an aching tooth, can immediately numb the pain. Oil of cloves is available over the counter in pharmacies and health-food stores. Follow the direction on the package and apply the oil directly to the tooth, no...

Before i meet my Boyfriend in person "since we were in virtual dating" i told him that his coming in the Philippines doesn't mean he will be bound to marry me. I want him to be sure about his feelings towards me as well as mine towards him, because its hard to determine online if the person is telling the truth or not, hard to tell if the person is showing its real personality and characteristic & how the way we handle things together like pressure, anger, etc.. its really different when you actually meet and being with each other for real, so the meeting is all about getting to know each other more, confirming feelings for each other, having fun, enjoy, relax, VACATION... no pressure at all so its a no proposal policy until he get back to the US and take time to think if we really enjoy each others company, if we really love each other, if we really want and need each other.... it is the fairest way i know for the both of us since i don't want to feel obligated ...

Finally, Finally, Finally, One of my prayers answered, Thank God petition for fiance visa has been approved, here's what we got... and here's the most awaited NOA2... Since i will be in my 6 months of my pregnancy this month, we have to fast track our processing for the rest of the VISA Steps so to avoid any further problems (in case i deliver my baby here in the Philippines such as hospital expenses, processing of baby's VISA, and might even renew or request for extension of my NOA2 validity date) or its gonna be a crap!!! Next Steps are as follows: **Call NVC for the Case # - this is what they gonna use to track down my visa application status** **Pay for the VISA Fee at any BPI Branches - so we can be able to make a schedule for interview** **Schedule Medical Exam - one the prerequisites of Embassy for VISA Approval**
