			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A lot of people prefer bathing using warm water. In one of Marco Polo’s visits to an ancientcity in China called Kinsai, he mentioned that the Chinese actually prefer bathing in cold water as compared to the foreigners who were then visiting the great city. He inferred that cold shower is healthier than a warm shower. </p>
<p>For somebody who prefers hot or warm shower, this strikes me as odd and prompted me to investigate. Is cold shower really that beneficial to the body? </p>
<p>Well, here’s what I found out:<br />
1.	Cold shower improves blood circulation.<br />
2.	It relieves depression because a cold shower elicits a reaction from the brain’s “blue spot”—which is is the primary source of an noradrenaline. Noradrenaline is known to mitigate depression.<br />
3.	It keeps hair and skin healthy.<br />
4.	Strengthens immunity. A 1993 Thrombosis Research Institute study has found out that cold showers increase the number of white blood cells in the body.</p>
<p>These are just at the top of the long list of benefits. But these are enough to convince me to go for cold instead of hot.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For two days now before I thought about buying <a href="http://www.compacc.com/Sidi-Cobra-Boots">sidi cobra boots</a>, I&#8217;ve been plagued by that we, Filipinos, call a &#8220;kuliti&#8221; or sty in English. A sty is the condition when the oil gland at the base of the eyelash gets infected. I&#8217;m quite lucky actually since my right eye is not that swollen. But, hen I say plagued, I really mean it. Not only is it really itchy, it also is painful. Even the simple actions such as blinking seem so painful. The  only funny thing about having a sty is the jokes people keep on throwing at me&#8211; yes, it is believed in the Philippines that a sty is the punishment for a peeping tom.</p>
<p>Anyway, friends told me 2 ways to cure a sty. The first to remove an eyelash closes to the swollen area to relieve the swelling and the second is to warm compress the area every 5 hours. They claim that these methods really work. I&#8217;m trying both so wish me luck. <img src='http://carla-abellana.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>9gag.com, what is it? Well, to be brief about it, 9gag.com is a very popular website with all sorts of posts. It&#8217;s just like Tumbler, Facebook and most social-networking sites and can be a semi-forum because it let&#8217;s people interact and comment on posts. There are also page-like website featuring all sorts of things like dogs and musical instruments from Ludwig and <a href="http://www.musiciansfriend.com/hohner">hohner</a>.</p>
<p>These days, even when someone is in facebook, you&#8217;ll probably read updates featuring 9gag.com.</p>
<p>As suggested by its name, this is a website founded on &#8216;gag&#8217; and one can say that it truly is a coven of jesters. It has popularized several memes or cultural concepts. It also introduced interesting terms such as friendzone and family zone, concepts such as Asian Level and 140%. At present, it is has become a craze all over the world due to its users witty posts.</p>
<p>It is not recommended to be viewed by overly conservative and close minded people due to the extent of the jokes being made and explicit sexually related jests.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, ‘tis the season to be jolly. And yep, it is the season for giving—though I confess, it seems like I’m on the receiving end here. This whole week, I’ve been receiving gifts from various people at work and quite frankly, I’m feeling a little pressured. I know what you’re thinking; that I’m just a little too paranoid and that their gifts don’t mean I have to send one back. But I can’t help it. I’m having this feeling like I need to give back.</p>
<p> In fairness to me, I do want to give back. But I’ve never given gifts before (not counting exchange gifts). I don’t give gifts not because I don’t want to. Sometimes I do want to give gifts but I always have a problem with the choosing part. And I’m always afraid that my gift won’t be appreciated. And because I’m too concerned with my gift, I end up not giving any. But this year, I really want to give gifts. I hope I will be able to give this year. Wish me luck!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wine is the essence extracted from fresh fruits including grapes. Over the years, researchers has found out that drinking wine in moderation can actually have health benefits. The most observable benefits from wine would be its calming effect to a person&#8217;s nerves.</p>
<p>Also, wine contains phytochemicals called flavanoids and resveratrol. These two are antioxidants most commonly found in red wine, which help prevent cellular damage in our bodies. Resveratrol also helps increase the amount of good cholesterol in our bodies which lowers the risk of having heart-related health problems.</p>
<p>It has been found out that drinking alcohol can increase the risk of developing breast cancer but resveratrol can actually decrease tumor development.</p>
<p>Of course the key consideration here is moderation of drinking. Let&#8217;s be honest, anything we consume in excess can be dangerous to our health. I presume that a glass of wine would be most beneficial to calm our nerves and make us sleep easy at night. This amount would also be the best to harness the benefits from wine.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong></strong>You might have realized that it is finally time to move on. Yet, this is actually wrong. The sad thing with people who move on is that they tend to just ignore the reality. They move on without resolving the issues that are yet to be resolved. This is the reason why the best way is to move positively forward.</p>
<p>This means that you can only go to the next stage of your life if you have thoroughly assessed what has happened in your past. By then, it will be a lot easier for you to go through the rough patches. It will be a lot easier for you to be a better person. Take note that you past will always haunt you.</p>
<p>Whether you like it or not, before you say you have finally moved on, you need to make sure that things are already ironed out. This is positively moving on forward in its essence.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some people have this drive to really get something. I wanted to have a <a href="http://www.healthcarejobsite.com/jobsearch/healthcare/healthcare-administration/default.asp?job=materials+manager">Materials Manager Jobs</a>. However, they have the tendency to not get to it especially if the impediments are tough. Now, if you are one of these people, it is very important to remember that you must not let anything get in the way. You have to realize that when you are passionate about something, you will do everything within your means in order to get it. You need to be aware of the idea that you can only get to your goals if you are focused on achieving it.</p>
<p>Some people might be very sensitive if they step on others. Yes, it might be good. However, you need to realize that if you want something, you need to find the best way possible to get through it. The drive must be maintained until the very end. This is what kept a lot of people strive harder.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You might have heard a lot of strategies on how to lose weight. However, you have to realize that all these strategies will only be worth it if you are disciplined. You need to be aware of the fact that even if you try the most effective strategies as said by others if you do not necessarily train yourself to constantly do the routine, it will still be useless. Thus, if you want to get things done, you need to focus on your goal.</p>
<p>BTW, here&#8217;s one motivation for you to lose weight <a href="http://www.ccoutdoorstore.com/black-diamond-compactor-ski-poles.html">Black Diamond Compactor Pole</a>. Pretty ain&#8217;t it?</p>
<p>You have to ensure that you know the right ways in which you can successfully accomplish your goals. You also need to make sure that you have the vision that one day you will be able to see the results that you wish to see. By then, losing weight will be more of a fun activity instead of a burden that you have to carry on day after day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In a few more weeks i&#8217;ll be having my <a href="http://www.thesource.ca/estore/product.aspx?language=en-CA&#038;catalog=Online&#038;category=Tablet-PC&#038;product=1716102">blackberry tablet</a> and it will be the first death commemoration of a dear friend. I prefer to use commemoration because I don&#8217;t want to use the word &#8216;celebration&#8217;.</p>
<p>Like most of us who she had left too soon, I guess I&#8217;m still in the process of actually accepting that she is not with us anymore. And to think about it sometimes hurt so much that I will myself to forget.</p>
<p>Accepting these negative parts of our lives is not an easy task, but we all must move on. People say that we&#8217;re holding on too much but I want to take my time mourning because she deserves all the pain I can squeeze out. I don&#8217;t want to move on too soon because I don&#8217;t want to give the impression that she wasn&#8217;t that big in my life.</p>
<p>Moving on is hard and it can also be a choice. In memory of Chesca, I&#8217;m holding on until I decide to finally stop.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was watching a Community Episode where Pierce, the oldest member of the study group, was punishing the whole group by psychologically attacking and torturing them. For those who don’t know what Community is, it is a TV series about different people who ended up in a community college.  Troy, the athletic stereotype in the group is apparently a fan of this person. But unlike other fans, he is the type who doesn’t want to meet his idol for some unknown reason. Pierce used this knowledge later to torture him. And then Troy revealed the reason why he doesn’t want to meet his idol. It is because he is afraid of disappointment. Not his disappointment, but his idol’s disappointment in him.</p>
<p>For some reason, I felt some connection. When I was younger, I’d often have fictional crushes instead of real people. For example, my crush is Harry Potter, not Daniel Radcliffe. With fictional characters, there is absolutely no risk of disappointment for both sides—mine or my idol’s. It was easier and far more convenient but a little lonely. </p>
