  • Love survives when you know the best for relationship

    If you are going to love someone you must like it first.

    It is hard to make love when you don’t like it. The love becomes artificial and may never last longer. Sometimes we don’t see the difference between loves and likes. Like is focus on the things we want and love is acceptance. This is such a very simple formula for longer and lasting relationship.

    Breakup

    This happens when the relationship pause or end. What can you feel about this? Have you experienced it already? We want to reconcile, fix or save the relationship as early as possible. In the end understanding why we need breakup is important. When you understand everything it will be easy for you to move on or get back.

    Move on and get over.

    I’ve been in the situation of saving relationship. Don’t let your like become greater than love or you will bad hurting yourself. The things you like are sometimes will never be yours and it hurts when you know that you can never have it. Love is something that you can accept and understand why; love can save you from bad feelings and emotions to get over.

    Love save us from hurts

    My breakup with my first girlfriend and to move on is a very hard decision. I like her very much that I wanted her to become my wife and I love her to make her happy. I only find myself chasing her because I like her as I want and later I realize to show how much I love here when I accept to let her go and be happy apart from me. Love hurts when you don’t know how to give and accept.

     

    Ask yourself. Why letting go of someone hurts? You might only like her, it turns you out to become selfish, bring more frustration and pain. This happens when you think only for yourself and never understand why you have to let go. Be careful that your emotion may shift to hate anger and grudge when you don’t get what you want.

     

    It is very easy to let go of someone you really love. There is always a reason for every let go. You can understand and accept it when you know the person you love will be more good and happier. It will surely hurt but you can recover fast because you know it is the best for both of you.

  • Diaper for toddlers

    Taking care of toddlers will be easy in time of wetness. Know how to keep them comfortable and dry. I did not used disposable diaper. The washable lampin was the most comfortable diaper I wear during my time.

    The innovation of diaper is constantly changing because of technology. Modern diapers have an absorbent that keeps the skin dry. The ability of the diaper to keep your skin dry will make it more comfortable to wear. There are many brands in the market offering the best choice. Price and quality are always considered on buying diapers. It is wise to buy cheap diaper with good qualities and because of that, this kind of brands will always be on the buy list.

    Expensive diaper is really not expensive if you can enjoy the products benefits. The role of the diaper is to make sure that toddlers will be comfortable on wearing. Cheaper diapers may not give the benefits or the qualities of the expensive brand. Cheaper means more savings but it isn’t wise to buy if it isn’t comfortable. I don’t recommend buying uncomfortable diapers because it is not really worth because changing diapers more often gives the same expense with the expensive diapers.

    It is really good to get cheaper and comfortable diapers when it is available. Ask advice from the experienced mom. Recommendation from their experience is reliable.

  • My Page Rank 4 drop to 2

    The last week of June 2011, Google Page Rank drops my stats from 4 down to 2. I would like to know why this happen and I got several answers on my research. I recall the changes occur and the activities of my pages during the last 3 months. I installed new themes and blog commenting. I really wanted to know why it drops because I was expecting that my page rank will improved. For me dropping stats is not a good things but I need this experience to share what went wrong.

    I am satisfied with this information found on other blog who had the same experience. Page ranking gain the scores from the inbound links, where the inbound links are found on other domains back link to you. Page rank drops when an outbound link is present in your pages. To neutralized outbound link and prevent from dropping page rank, reciprocal link or exchange link is needed.

    I am enjoying the benefits of PR4 for almost years when I decide to change my WordPress Theme. I never noticed that I was publishing more outbound link on my front page. I want to make it clear that changing theme may not really cause to drop your page rank. It is when you promote more outbound links on your pages.

    Now I can test what will be the result when I minimize the outbound link. Can this test bring back my PR4 or improve my ranking on the next update? What did you do to improve your page rank?

  • Food supplements

    The food we’re eating today is not enough for our daily nutritional needs. That is why we need food supplements to complete it. Our stomach is easy to get full when eating foods that are lack of nutrition. We can’t push our self to eat more to get the nutrition needed. Food supplements is the other way to get all the nutrition we need where you can take it on tablet, capsules, powder, drinks etc, that we can easily digest.

    Over dose and under dose

    Food supplements are sometimes guaranteed without overdose and under dose bad or side effect because it is only a food. Overdosing food supplement is just like eating too much, compare to the regular food we eat our stomach get full. It’s good when your body can absorb all the nutrients or the benefits you get on the food supplements, else your will going to waste it just like the food we eat all end up on waste. It can be taken also by the children since it is only a food.

    No Approve Therapeutic Claims

    Why this label “No Approve Therapeutic Claims” is seen on the food supplement? While the promoter introduce that food supplements is good for the health and even can cure illness. The label is contradicted to the product. It only means that the products don’t promise anything therapeutic and that label is under the terms and conditions whatever it is. Alternative medicine is carrying that label different from medical drugs.

    Medical Practice VS Alternative Medicine

    Have you ever wondered why food supplements are not very often introduced by doctors? They learn medical practice for many years on the drugs with clinical studies. They base on the data that is proven to cure illness. It’s hard for them to recommend products that they are not sure about. Food supplements are also categories as alternative medicine which is against their practice. It’s because alternative medicine is shown consistently not to be effective. In my own opinion I rather take food supplements that will cure me or not, but at least I feel safe for less side effect.

    Top Food Supplement I’ve tried

    Spirulina

    • Aloe Vera Gel from Forever Living Products containing pure aloe. This product helps me when I was suffering from psoriasis. I think I was started on October 1998 and made my skin slightly normal after a year.

I was very thankful to the man who give this product to me no other than Gari Gabrinao I did tried Alaxan Fast Relief for immediate effect too.
    • Cordy Gold from Wellness Treasures Gano Excel containing Cordyceps sinensis. This product is new to me. It gives more energy and stamina. The world records prove it on 1993 Track and Field Olympic game in China.

    Food Supplement is just like the accessories we put on our body, we can live with our without it. When you find the accessories is beautiful when you wear it, you can also find food supplements amazing to our health.

    The essential nutrients you get in this plate are also present in this food supplements.

  • How did I quit smoking?

    It was my classic story when I quit smoking and it happen at my early age. I can hardly believe that I tried to smoke and hooked to it for about few months. The lesson I wanted to share here is about making priority and decides quickly.

    Did you know that I was sentence to smoke one case of Marlboro Red at age of 5 years old? I was too curious about cigarette and why people become addicted to it. At first I know it was fun and that was the first motivation why I tried. I was caught in the act smoking the left cigar on the ash tray. I don’t know if my father was really mad that day, he bought me a case of Marlboro and ask me to smoke it all in front of him. Of course I can’t resist the smokes of the cigar and that day I hate cigarettes. I don’t hate my father for that punishment but I am more thankful to realized that smoking was not really good for a child like me. Maybe he just wants me to learn that it’s not yet time for me or he just want me to know how bad it is.

    That’s not the end. I thought I’ve learned my lesson and here I was 8 years old when I used to try it again, one stick at a time. Did you know the root of the plant aroma? It looks like grass to me but it grows like a tree. It has a leave like sampaloc and  torns on its branch. The stick I am using is the root of that aroma. It is like a cigarette when you light it. I found that root with a different flavor and that flavor got me more of it every day. Every afternoon after classes I went to the beach to get some roots.

    One of those days when I was smoking, I don’t really like to spit out and it happens every minutes. My tongue was burn and it’s the reason why I was producing so much saliva. I hate it. Because the root of that aroma doesn’t have filter, the heat of the smoke got directly to my tongue.

    How to quit smoking? It’s time to decide now. It is fun or it is become an obsession even it’s not good to our health. I guess it is really hard to quit when you use to live with it. I can’t give enough advice for those who smoke more than a year. My experience was to quit smoking in a few days, maybe a month but not more than a year. I immediately find my dislike about smoking and too stop is my priority. I have fear to what will happen to me if I am going to smoke for 10 years or more. If did not decide quickly, I may fall to a trap being obsess to cigarettes.

    Find the things that you don’t want when you smoke and think if you can live with it. Some may realize that they don’t like smoking when it’s too late or to long already that they are already addicted.
