Answers to What and How
History is indeed fascinating, and it is happening everyday.
One could get a glimpse of history from the writings of ancient scribes, or by looking at the remnants of structures and whatever items that have been left behind by those who were laughing, crying, thinking, loving and dreaming, but who are now long gone.
Unearthing these long buried traces from long ago is an expensive and arduous process.
Today, through blogging, each of us has the opportunity to live imprints for the future generations. The power is at the tips of our fingers and it takes just a few minutes of tip-tapping on our keyboards. They would know our fashions, our passions, our darkest fears and our most ardent prayers. We could make them see what we see now, listen to what we are listening. With carefully chosen words, we could even let them feel what we are feeling.
I will blog about people, things, places and happenings- the fascinating and the mundane, as I know that no matter how trivial they may seem today, our children will consider these peeks to their past priceless gems. This is our gift to them. It is my desire is to be a channel for this gift.
How would it make me feel when I have achieved this goal? I would feel that I will have fulfilled my dharma, the reason I am here.

Go Organic!
My sister, Jenny, came across a Philippine Daily Inquirer feature story last December about a Filipino company manufacturing organic personal care products.
Organic-whatever normally costs a lot when you get it from groceries and other shops, but here's a very affordable line of products that really works.
You take care of the environment as you take care of yourself.
These are initially available only in Metro Manila and Luzon provinces. I have to fly there to avail of the products, or my sister sends them to me. However, those living in Manila may contact my sister, Jenny, or contract her through me.
Lip Balm- Bee Propolis & Beeswax with Calendula
This lip balm with bee propolis does wonders for chapped lips only hours after application. When applied to skin rashes, the lip balm does the job as well.

A good facial wash for oily and acne prone skin is Aloe Vera & Guava Facial Wash
Php59.75
Cocoa Butter & Brown Rice Exfoliating Face Scrub
Php74.75
Pearl Powder & Aloe Vera Strengthening Shampoo & Body Wash
[I used to buy more expensive brands for falling hair but was not satisfied with the results. I can go by THIS much affordable brand. It does check falling hair.]

Php89.75
OTHER PRODUCTS ARE ALSO AVAILABLE

Why is Dark Chocolate Healthy?:
Chocolate is made from plants, which means it contains many of the health benefits of dark vegetables. These benefits are from flavonoids, which act as antioxidants. Antioxidants protect the body from aging caused by free radicals, which can cause damage that leads to heart disease. Dark chocolate contains a large number of antioxidants (nearly 8 times the number found in strawberries). Flavonoids also help relax blood pressure through the production of nitric oxide, and balance certain hormones in the body.
