Find Your Inner Peace with Yoga

July 31, 2009

Find Your Inner Peace with YogaAs we all know that Yoga has been around for centuries to help people that suffer with mental, physical and chemical related issues. Most people that suffering pain from mental or physical anguish find it difficult to reach their state of inner peace, while others never find it at all. This is a soothing strategy invented to help those who suffer, by including special techniques for healing. Techniques such as panoramas, kriyas, chanting and mediation often help people with common and unnatural difficulties; allowing them the peace, they need to cope. Thus, when the pain reduces the person finds a place in the mind where peace occurs.

Yoga and mediation is an art that one must learn with precision to make the strategy work proper and enjoy proper healing that leads to inner peace. Once the person practices with the goal in mind to heal, thus inner peace follows. This is a form of mediation that helps a person get in touch with their mind and body. The mind controls the body, thus when a person constant becomes acquainted with their mind and body they often find inner peace. If a person is searching to lose weight, or else relieve pain yoga can help the person feel relief, which leads to a measure of inner peace.

Still, yoga is never enough to find true inner peace. Some say being true to your self-helps you to find the inner peace, however, true to yourself extends further, since you must find truth to be honest with everyone. Thus, serenity is being free of the storms in the emotions, which in turns provides freedom to the body and mind. When a person is not satisfied with self, thus they will feel trapped. The mind will not release the emotions, until the person begins to see who they are, what they are, and why they are the way, they are. Yoga then clears the emotions, whereas the person can work toward connecting with self and finding serenity.

selecting my best celebrity

July 31, 2009

selecting my best celebrityAs we all know, it is difficult to choose the best of the best actress or actor of this time. There are so many celebrities our generation has to offer. Well, let’s begin selecting the sexiest lady in the industry. From my own point of view, it would be Megan Fox. Hahaha! I will give her the Best of the Best Awards. I am not expecting that everyone agrees with me. Selection based on sexy body is a subjective matter. Some would say that the award should be given to Scarlett Johansson other may choose a different name, which is based on their perception.

Other than the sexiest, I will choose the most handsome man in the industry today. And, the BoB Awards goes to Daniel Craig, Jason Statham, David Beckham, Johnny Depp, and Orlando Bloom. I choose several guys since I like all of them. Hahaha! Congratulations good looking guys, you take my heart away. I hope hubby would not read this post. I bet many of you have different choices.

Furthermore, I have to give Blog Awards to several sites that include meowdiariesdotcom and splitrockranchllamasdotblogspotdotcom. I owe them a lot for visiting my site regularly. It’s time to give them credits.

There it goes. I don’t know when I will be able to get an award for my sites. Hmmm! I think asking nicely will help. If there is any, Please nominate me in the Best of the Best Awards.

movie curiousity

July 31, 2009

Ever since I have seen its advertisement, I began to feel curious towards it. The movie title is PU 239. It sounds interesting as if I heard about this PU. But, I can’t remember where and when. Luckily it was shown yesterday. Gosh, its PU or plutonium element and I heard it in my high school chemistry class.

The movie talks about radiation exposure from PU, which of course cause him his health and almost his life. It’s sad that he still died by a gun shot, but it’s a good thing he did not suffer from the pain of the exposure.

After watching, hubby and I talked about it. And we just remember asbestos exposure, which is associated with malignant Mesothelioma. It just bothers me since the movie said that exposure to PU of 100 grams will show signs of its effect after several years. However, when the exposure reached 1000 grams then it is lethal by only days. I don’t know if what I have in mind is correct that if exposure to asbestos is highly concentrated signs and symptoms take effects in only days. Based on my research, exposure to asbestos will take effect 20 to 50 years. This is such a mind bugling thoughts.

Anyway, mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer. Nevertheless, it is as lethal as any form of cancer. Victims may not remember the time when they get exposed to asbestos. It is better to call assistance from experts in solving this kind of case. They may not be able to reverse the harmful effects, but they can alleviate the burdens of financial needs and medical expenses.

Puerto Princesa, Philippines

July 31, 2009
Puerto Princesa, Philippines

Underground River Entrance, Puerto Princesa Philippines

PUERTO PRINCESA is the only provincial capital with major urban sprawl in Palawan, with 120,000 residents and an area that actually makes it the second- biggest city in the Philippines after Davao. Puerto Princesa is also clean, green and gun-free, thanks partly to local mayor Edward Hagedorn, a larger-than-life character who has firmly nailed his flag to the environmental mast. Residents and visitors alike are fined for spitting and littering. Throwing your cigarette butt on the pavement brings swift justice in the form of a P200 fine, a small fortune to many locals and therefore a significant deterrent. The town’s main artery is the narrow  Rizal Avenue, which runs from the airport on Puerto’s eastern outskirts to the cathedral and the wharf in the west. The distance from end to end is only 3km, and tricycles and jeepneys run the length of it, making transport within the town easy.

Many see Puerto as a one-night stop on the way to Palawan’s coves and coral reefs, but it’s not as if there’s nothing to see or do. The Palawan Museum (Mon, Tues, Thurs & Fri 9am–noon & 2–5pm), in Mendoza Park on Rizal Street, gives a good overview of the history, art and culture of Palawan. At the Crocodile Farming Institute (Mon–Sat 10am–5pm) in Barangay Irawan, 12km from the city centre, scientists conduct research into crocodile ecology, biology, nutrition and biochemistry, pathology and physiology. The local name for crocodile is buwaya, which means “greedy”. To get to the farm take a jeepney (P15) from the terminal in Malvar Street on the northern outskirts of the city. A farm of a rather different kind, a Butterfly Farm, owned and operated by Rowell Rodriguez, is located at 27 Bunk House Rd, Santa Monica (tel 048/433 5343), and is a haven for hundreds of indigenous species. You can see the stage-by-stage metamorphosis from a caterpillar to a butterfly. Jeepneys go here hourly from Malvar Street.

caught off-guard

July 30, 2009

Father gave me a surprise visit this morning. But, in return he is also surprised to learn that I am still sleeping at around 9am. Hehehe! So, what’s his agenda? Well, he wants to borrow money from me because he needed to buy industrial hand wheels for his project. He said that he launders the money. Silly old guy! The truth is, he doesn’t have it and he is shy to ask for the money from the company.

All he wants to do is to pay for the materials first and then have it reimburse. Although I don’t have money, but since I am caught off-guard I lend him the last drop of money I have, which doesn’t make sense at all. I just realize I made a wrong move after eating breakfast where all my senses are wide awake.

am I that fashionista?

July 28, 2009

I am not pretty sure if I can call myself a fashionista as I don’t own trendy clothing. Don’t blame me for that. I feel that my man is controlling me when it comes to clothing. I don’t want to flare up a fight, so I just settle for shirts and jeans. Pity me!

I think it’s partly my fault since I don’t say anything that contradicts his ideas. Probably that is the hint that I am not a fashionista and that I am just pretending to be one. Maybe I just don’t know how to mix and match outfits and accessories that is why I settle for simple shirts and jeans. This should not be the case since I am a young adult woman that should dress up according to my age.

Because of that I tried Fashion Polls where I could show some of my stuff and let people decide what the best is. I could even post clothing, accessories, shoes, bags and so much more and see if I have a good or bad taste. Aside from that it’s a learning material since I can view what other people think towards clothing and stuff like that by their votes. Now I won’t have to scramble on mixing and matching clothes just to find out I look like a dummy. Maybe transformation will take a longer period of time, but doing this will be a good start.

Simple Ideas for a Proper Packing Trip

July 28, 2009

Simple Ideas for a Proper Packing TripI’m sure you will agree with me when I will say that every time we go on a trip we used to pack tons of clothes, right? But when you got used to it and I find out that bringing tons of clothes especially to places that you haven’t yet is not really a good idea, even if you’re a kind of person who wants to have a lot of choices of clothes when you travel. So, here are some tips on how to pack for a trip:

  • Make a checklist of every item you plan to take on your trip: clothing, shoes, toiletries, maps, guidebooks, reading material, and hotel and rental car information. Include even items you do not intend to pack. Murphy’s Law dictates that if you forget something, it will likely be an important item such as your plane ticket or housekeys.
  • Buy travel-size containers for your toiletries, regardless of the length of your trip. Unless you will be in a remote location for weeks, you can always drop into a local shop to restock your supply of soap and toothpaste.
  • Begin packing your luggage, checking off each item on your list as you go.
  • Pack clothing using the time-honored “roll” technique. Lay two or three items on top of one another, smooth to flatten, and roll them up like you would a sleeping bag to save space and prevent wrinkles. For added wrinkle insurance, place a sheet of heavy tissue or packing paper between items of clothing before rolling.
  • Pack sweaters and underwear in reusable compression bags, which can create up to 75% more space in your luggage. And, enclose toiletry containers in airtight plastic bags to prevent contents from spilling into your suitcase in the event of a leak. Wrap socks or pajamas around breakable items to cushion them.
