In Your Home – Conserve Energy

3. Lower the thermostat on your water heater to 120.
4. Wrap your water heater in an insulated blanket.
5. Turn down or shut off your water heater when you will be away for extended periods.
6. Turn off unneeded lights even when leaving a room for a short time.
7. Set your refrigerator temperature at 36 to 38 and your freezer at 0 to 5 .

The guest doctor an OB-Gyne, is quite worried especially the situation in the Philippines about this type of cancer in women. Her worry lies about the country’s status about this dreaded disease, we ranked second (2nd) worldwide!

Accordingly, women should always check themselves if ever there’s an increased in vaginal discharge, pelvic pain, abnormal vaginal bleeding and pain during intercourse, if ever these are present, then it’s high time to consult your doctor.

Early detection saves lives, time and money, so why not go to your doctor for medical advises or for a Pap test to determine whether you had abnormalities in your cervix cells.

If you are going to ask your doctor today… that piece of information may save anyone from further sufferings since almost 600 women die everyday because of cervical cancer.

NOW, there are vaccine that offers protection from cervical cancer why not take advantage of the opportunity.

As they say Prevention is the best cure..!

Hoping for the best in every women of the world!

It’s me Feron saying bye-bye for now…

Nevertheless, I’m glad that I’ve gone this far, although I was not able to achieve my main purpose to make blogging as a way of generating a second income… indeed I’m happy because I was able to meet friends in a community where friendship is of high values.

Last May 1st being a holiday I went on blog hopping and I found out that there are so many bloggers offering good opportunity to earn while hopping and dropping.

Now, I’m thinking of trying some of the available programs on the net and hopefully I’ll come up with the good ones. But of course through the help and advise from you, my Friends who in one way or another had been doing business on the Net.

I am hoping that I’ll be getting the best possible way to fulfill my plan with Friends who are always ready to give the best suggestions and comments about the ins and outs of earning on the Net.

I’ll be looking forward for this thing to develop and would like to extend my sincere thanks to all for your valued kindness.

More power to all of you there!

Happy weekends…

Hi Vera, thanks for having you here!

The face of Hatton is very weak… and I think the Team Paquiao capitalized on this as evidenced between Hatton’s fight with the Junior, Mayweather.

The Hitman’s camp were terribly surprised during the 1st round when Pacquiao uses the right stance that puzzled Hatton’s corner.

This strategy is a brainchild of “The Thinking Roach”, everytime Pacman fights he always surprises the other camp.

Now we know who is the “amateurish”, this is how Hatton’s trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. assessment of Pacman.

Nowadays, professional boxing is no longer a battle of speed and power but rather it has to be scientific.

Scientific in the sense that every move and weak points are your target to gain the upperhand. You may have the best and heaviest punch, the problem is how are you going to land it to your opponent.

And it was the Hitman’s trainer forgot to teach, he’s got everything only he was not able to hit his target!

But even the Champ, Manny was surprised of the outcome of the fight, that he was able to managed to demolished Hatton very easy.

Better luck next time to Hatton-Mayweather Camp!

Congratulations, TEAM PACQUIAO!!!

Thanks Elai…

In the end, all patients go home happily without asking the doctor for any medications. ‘It is very effective,’ said the doctor.

‘All my patients never come back to me again.’

And here’s the exercise that the doctor advises his patients…Why not try for your own cause…

Well, Friends I’m hoping that it does good to you and it helps you REALLY exercise your neck after blog hopping and dropping.

Till next post… God Bless Everyone!

This is really really fantastic!

Another reminder in life…

Joh 7:24 Do not judge according to sight, but judge righteous judgment.

By now the whole world is talking about the phenomenal SUSAN BOYLE and here’s the song that made her great. CLICK on the picture and listen to the song…

I DREAMED A DREAM

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high,
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.

Then I was young and unafraid
When dreams were made and used,
And wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung,
No wine untasted.

But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hopes apart
As they turn your dreams to shame.

And still I dream he’ll come to me
And we will live our lives together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms
We cannot weather…

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I’m living
So different now from what it seems
Now life has killed
The dream I dreamed.

And here’s what they said about her performance…

That was stunning an incredible performance…

It’s the biggest wake up call ever, it’s a complete priveledge listening to back…

Susan Boyle you can go back to the village with your head held high… with three yes’s!!!

May this serves as an inspiration to all of us!
