by: Mary Ann Bolanos

Upcoming Friday will be 36 degrees C! 2 May 2015. Make sure you have the following when walking the streets of Quezon City:

1. Sun shades.
2. Umbrella
3. Wear 100% cotton clothing
4. Wear skirts 100% cotton or 100% cotton pantsof
5. Water Wet Face Towel
6. Bottled Cool Water (super important)
7. Extra Shirt
8. Sun Block. Best is Virgin Coconut Oil (if you prefer scented - okay.)

What to avoid during summer:

1. Eat high cholesterol, high fat food.
2. Going out the office when its 2.oo p.m.
3. Going out of the office without drinking enough water.

When you feel...

a. Extreme headache
b. Dizziness

Make sure you drink cool water (not super cold) just  cool. Do not sleep yet. Sit down, relax.
Turn on the electric fan or air conditioning.

Avoid stress. If you are coming in from a stressful situation I suggest you take:

a. 2 fruits of calamansi (Philippine lemon)
b. Squeeze the 2 fruits of calamansi in a cool glass of water.
c. Drink within 15 minutes
d. Eat ripe banana, preferably lakatan.
* This will help your body have an alkaline effect.
Make sure you have half a pitcher of cool water beside you when relaxing
at 2 p.m.
e. Do a bit of stretching.

Consult your doctor if you have ulcer and potassium overdose if its okay to take a-e.

Before going out of your temporary furnished apartment,
make sure you have a bottled cool water with you.

Hair Styles in the Philippines

-
by: JC Bulan In the Philippines, when it rains, it really pours.  Now if you want to keep on looking great with your hair firmly in tact then take note of the following tips. Filipinas like their hair to be classy but not too flashy.  An excellent style for the long-haired gals is the Gibson tuck.  You’ll need a hair tie and pins for this one.  Put your hair up in a ponytail.  Just above the hair tie, part your hair into roughly two equal parts using your finger.  Next, twist your ponytail and insert it into the gap and tuck it inside along with the hair tie.  Wrap your hair up tight and secure the top of the tuck with hair pins.  You might also want to use a hairspray for the finishing touches.  Also it would look more elegant by pulling a few strands of hair for each side of your face. You can do a lot with braids.  One simple style is the high braided bun.  You can create this by first tying your hair in a high pony tail, then section it into three parts.  Get the leftmost part and

The reason for this is because of the people going to their respective provinces or homes where we gather and celebrate as early as 31st of October. Some even went to a point of sleeping overnight from 31st of October till 2 November. 1 November is actually a feast day as we commemorate those who have lived saintly lives. 2 November is not, but we offer Holy Masses till 30th of November for the souls of our departed relatives and friends. We believe that we gain Plenary Indulgences for them so they have a short stay in Purgatory, since we know that not all of our friends and relatives are saints...Oth
