Apollo Celebration.

I was scanning the television for a good show when I stumbled upon this show on Fox News:



They say the government faked this for a few reasons such as:

1. Money
2. Distraction to the audience
3. Delivery of Kennedy's promise
4. Cold war prestige
5. Risk

Funny, because they also mentioned something about the 911 incident, and that it was an inside job. Another was they said something about Princess Diana's death as well.

What are your opinions about these?

SunBurned

OUCH!

My cousins and I went for a quick swim last Sunday - a post 4th of July celebration. It was fun, until after an hour or so, when other kids finally start coming in the pool to cool themselves off.

These kids starting jumping into the pool, so I kinda thought and hoped that a Community Administrator or some sort would walk and check the pool area and get these kids out before they get hurt. Or even worse - blame the adults in the pool for not watching over them. Eeek!

It wasn't until I got in to the shower did the pain start. I didn't know I'd be taking my tank top off (and show off my big belly) so I didn't really bother putting some sunscreen on my shoulder area. So much for feeling summer-ish.

What are sunburns? They are burns from the sun to living tissues, such as our skins. Too much exposure to the sun can be very dangerous. Less exposure to UV rays can give us sun tan - which people find attractive. But excessive UV rays on our skins? Well, hello CANCER!

My nose is peeling. They peel because they're dead dehydrated skin cells.

Little easy tips for MILD sunburns:

• Topical anesthetics such as Lidocaine or Benzocaine in form of ointments or spray. Available are your local drug store. - Just make sure you are not allergic to any of these medications. Avoid if you are.
• My boss told me to use the aloe vera (gel-like looking in a bottle) to decrease inflammation and soothe the pain.
• Hydrocortisone can reduce inflammation and itching.
• Cold compress (towel with cool water - not iced!).
• Application of a towel soaked with white cider vinegar. Sour, but helpful. =)

Prevention is better than cure. Stay out of the sun to prevent exposure. Wear sunscreen when going out. Eyes are pretty sensitive to the sun, too, so don't forget your anti-UV shades.

Sun tans are summer trademarks. Would you risk it?

Welcome me back!

I'm back! =)

Need cash?

I was on my way to Eastwood City one sunny noon of April 23, 2008. Since the place is only a kilometer (or less) away from home, I rode a tricycle. The wind was blowing hard on my face, and it was messing my hair - and it was everywhere! When I faced the "dashboard" of the tricycle, this sticker caught my attention.


Haha. If you're calling from outside the Philippines, don't forget the zeros, country code, and Manila area code!

Call now!

Oh so cool headphones!

My aunt went home for a short visit back here in our country. She stayed here for 10days (but she didn't sleep in the house). While we were staying with her at her friend's house, my sister and I found two headphones lying around the room...


It is a Bose QuietComfort 3 Acoustic Noise Cancelling headphones. I think it's their latest. I tried it on and I can barely hear anything from outsite! It has a switch at the side - so that if your headphones are attached to an iPod, or disc man, or any mp3 player, you can choose to listen or to turn it off.

This is AOK to use when you're commuting, or riding a plane, or in a noisy environment. It's not that big - measures 7 3/8" x 5 1/4" and weighs a mere 5.6 oz. (with cable) [from here]

I asked my aunt if she could give it to me. She just told me "Oh, we are using that in the office, if the patient doesn't want to hear the drill." She's a dental assistant.

We went to a mall to see a movie. I saw a Bose store and I saw the headphones on display! It was so so pretty. I asked the guy how much for the headphones. "P24,900.00 ma'am. You can try it." And then I was like, "Uh, ok.. Thank you!"

Talk about expensive headphones!!!
