The term Martial Arts is derived from the name Mars, the god of war. Inferred from that premise, you would understand why Martial Arts is a combination of various techniques, moves and stunts used primarily to defend one’s self against physical threat or harm. This special kind of training is used against violence and not merely to combat against another person who has done you no harm. But nowadays, this has also evolved into a routine used for exercise and discipline. There are many types of Martial Arts that you …

Astigmatism is an eye problem associated with blurring vision as its major symptom. This problem usually arises from an unevenly curved cornea (Corneal Astigmatism) or lens (Lenticular Astigmatism) that is behind the cornea. As a result, when light passes through the retina, the horizontal and vertical image is not focused on the same point thus creating a blurred vision. In this manner, Astigmatism is classified as a refractive error.
The vision problem occurs to all ages and walks of life. Though it is not contagious, it is usually an inborn condition …

Who would disagree that we are a bunch of fizzy water drinkers in this planet? Statistics reveal that the average soda consumption per person each year amounts to 89.8 liters.

Movies normally have impacts in our lives. We normally choose which ones we want to implement and which ones to discard. I remember well back when I was in grade school, about the time I started to watch action movies, specifically the Karate Kid, that I wanted to learn karate or any form of martial arts. I told my parents about it but they did not allow me to enrol in such class cause they think I would bully my classmates or worse get into a piss fight with almost …

Living a city life could sometimes get to you. There’s too much noise, too much electronics, too much easy living and convenience, that we should all admit is not good for us in the long run. Stress, exposure to weird gases, elements we aren’t suppose to intake, we get sick in the process. We just all need a bit of exercise, a bit of the freshest air, a bit of cool sea breeze, a bit of silence, and a bit of the natural life where everyone should be in after …

When was the last time you got a compliment wearing your ID/Badge? Back in the Philippines, lanyards are rarely used so we rarely get compliments. We either put our ID’s or badges in our wallets or we only hang them whenever needed for a couple of reasons:
1. Our ID’s/Badges look almost the same that they are BORING.
2. It doesn’t fit the outfit.
3. Our ID’s/Badges designs are not fashionable enough to wear everywhere.
Here in Las Vegas, a security-conscious place, almost everybody needs to carry around their information with them. Often a company will require …

Last week, I read something in the news about an accident disabling a mother with 2 kids who were both less than 12 years of age. It broke my heart. I couldn’t imagine that happening to me. How would I take care of my daughter? She’s almost going to school and how could I drive her when my husband is at work?
With this, I had to search for something if in case this happens …

Kids toys are important especially for the early stages in childhood. When purchasing toys for my child as well as videos, I make sure that I buy educational ones. The best time to learn is during the toddler years because children seem to be the most curious during these years. It’s also when they learn to talk and ask questions non-stop. Some questions can even be mind boggling for us parents and when we finally think of the answer to give them, it’s followed with another question: Why?
Kids are brilliant …

Back when I was living in Cagayan de Oro, my partner and I have been planning to go to Disney World with our 1-year old daughter. My mom says that we should wait until she gets older so she can enjoy it more, since she might be too young to remember or even too young to have fun and enjoy the landmarks and rides. That’s where she’s wrong. Just bonding with my family in a place my partner and I have been dying to go to since we were kids …

A few days ago, a burglar came into my friend’s house thru the garage. The garage walls are made of bamboo wood designed to let the breeze come in. Recently, because of this rotational brownouts happening in the city where I came from, she bought a generator set. Andy made a hole in the garage wall just enough for the generator set’s muffler and it’s motor to peak out, the hole served as an exhaust for the generator since it gives off warm air or heat when it’s running. And …

Ever since I was a child we were never really bought expensive or branded stuffs for clothes, shoes, bags, and the like. Back then we never really understood why that’s the case and we would just drool over our classmates and friends who have them. As time went buy we understood there are so much stuffs to pay like bills and our tuition fees which were much more important than the clothes, shoes, bags, and everything else.
It was when I had a job of my own that I could buy …

30 days and counting, it’s nearly summer! Break out the camping tents and away we go. Some people want sunning themselves on beaches, I want spending time in the forests. It’s a great way to pass the time with family and friends. I love camping because of the many memories I spent with my family. I remember one time when we went on a wild life camping with my Dad and male relatives only. We bought only the barest minimum, intending to live off the wild by fishing and foraging. …

My 12-year old nephew came home from school last night and asked me to help him research on a project for his science class. Today’s discussion was about different fire protection products, fire extinguishers and CO2 fire extinguishers. It was something that he was so excited about. Since he was five, friends and family members asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up and he always had the same answer: “I want to be a fireman.”
His father — my brother-in-law — was assigned to work in New …
