Skin Care

Posted on January 27, 2009 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

There are so many skin care products that are available in the market today that choosing one is not an easy task.

First, one has to know what type of skin he/she has to be able to know what products are safe to use. Not because these products are being advertised mean these are good.

I have asked blogging and real-life friends about their facial regimens a few months back.

They gave wonderful tips on how to prevent acne and/or how to have acne treatments. There were some complicated regimens and there were just simple regimens shared.

For starter, nothing beats a relaxed lifestyle though that is probably next to impossible with a lot of people and having nutritious food available.

Women’s Health

Women are prone to health issues as they grow older. Well, men do too, as they grow older.

There are different health conditions that may affect women as they age, menopause and hot flashes for one, vaginal dryness, memory gap, urinary tract infection, depression, migraine, osteo-arthritis and a list of conditions we don’t want to hear happen to us.

Pula = Katapangan

Posted on January 8, 2009 by greenbucks| 29 Comments

The theme for this week’s Litratong Pinoy is RED.

Ang tema ngayong linggo para sa Litratong Pinoy ay PULA.

There are so many interpretations for the color red:  love, hatred, blood, bravery and prosperity. It may also symbolize energy, communism, heat and arrogance. Some even say that red is the color of the devil.

Maraming interpretasyon ang kulay pula: pag-ibig, galit, dugo, katapangan at simbolo ng yaman. Maaari din itong maging simbolo ng lakas, Komunismo, init at kahambugan. Sabi pa nga ng ilan, ang pula ay kulay ng demonyo.

For me, red for bravery is what we need right now. We need this not because we have to battle foreign oppressors like our ancestors but to battle the many hardships we are currently experiencing: financial crisis, lack of political trust and just about any daily struggles that should have been easy but tend to be otherwise.
