Simple Exercise to Fight STRESS!

RELAXATION EXERCISES
2-minute relaxation-- Concentrate your thoughts on yourself and your breathing. Take a few deep breaths, exhaling slowly. Mentally scan your body. Notice areas that feel tense or cramped. Quickly loosen up these areas. Let go of as much tension as you can. Rotate your head in a smooth, circular motion once or twice. (Stop any movements that cause pain.) Roll your shoulders forward and backward several times. Let all of your muscles completely relax. Recall a pleasant thought for a few seconds. Take another deep breath and exhale slowly. You should feel more relaxed.

Mind relaxation-- Close your eyes. Breathe normally through your nose. As you exhale, silently say to yourself the word "one," a short word such as "peaceful" or a short phrase such as "I feel quiet" or "I'm safe." Continue for 10 minutes. If your mind wanders, gently remind yourself to think about your breathing and your chosen word or phrase. Let your breathing become slow and steady.

Deep breathing relaxation- -Imagine a spot just below your navel. Breath into that spot and fill your abdomen with air. Let the air fill you from the abdomen up, then let it out, like deflating a balloon. With every long, slow breath out, you should feel more relaxed.

This is what I usually do when I am super stress. Simple yet very effective.

Noy Noy Aquino for President?

The son of late Philippine president Corazon Aquino called Wednesday for another round of "people power" as he announced he would run for president to continue his mother's work.

Vowing to fight against corruption that pervades the impoverished Southeast Asian nation, Benigno Aquino said he would be a leader for all sectors of society and not just the rich.

"I will be there because of the people, I will stay there because of the people and hopefully I will be true to my word to serve the people," Aquino, 49, told a crowd of cheering supporters as he declared his presidential bid.

Aquino made the announcement at Manila's historic Club Filipino, where his mother "Cory" was sworn in as president in 1986 after leading the "people power" revolution that ended dictator Ferdinand Marcos's 20-year reign.

Aquino will represent the opposition Liberal Party in next year's elections, hoping to end the reign of President Gloria Arroyo's ruling coalition.

The Liberal Party has been a fierce critic of Arroyo, who is mandated by the constitution to step down, alleging widespread corruption in her administration.

Arroyo's spokesman Lorelei Fajardo conceded Aquino has emerged a strong contender for the presidency, while calling him a "welcome addition to the race".

Aquino said he would rely on the help of ordinary Filipinos to become president, just as they propelled his mother to power.

"The reason why I am on this path is because I believe the public will support and help me in the campaign," he said.

"I want to make democracy work not just for the rich and the well-connected, but for everybody."

He also promised to give the nation "closure" by going after stolen wealth controlled by the Marcos family.

Although Aquino has been a member of parliament for 11 years, he said he only began seriously considering a presidential bid after seeing the massive outpouring of support following his mother's death from cancer last month.

His father, also named Benigno, is held in equally high esteem by many throughout the nation of 92 million people.

Marcos' gunmen shot him dead at Manila airport in 1983 as he returned from exile.

His assassination led to Cory reluctantly moving into politics and becoming president for six years, a period that has been widely acclaimed for restoring democracy after a generation of martial law.

Aquino called on Filipinos to recall his mother's achievements when they considered who they wanted to be their next president.

"During my mother's time, she was not corrupt. Even the policeman on the street had second thoughts of being corrupt," he said.

Nevertheless, his family belongs to one of the powerful clans that have dominated Philippine life for generations, and observers have pointed out that a win for Aquino would be another victory for the elite.

Corazon Aquino was born into the Cojuangco family, which continues to play a major role in the economy.

Her cousin, Eduardo Cojuangco, is majority owner of brewing giant San Miguel and, according to the latest Forbes rich list, the seventh wealthiest man in the Philippines.

Aquino's decision also opens the tantalising prospect of a two-way race for the presidency against his first cousin, Gilberto Teodoro, who is a leading candidate to run for the ruling coalition.

The first challenge for Aquino, known by his nickname of "Noynoy," is to unite a fractious opposition.

Former president and movie star Joseph Estrada wants to run again, while property tycoon Senator Manuel Villar has been leading recent polls of potential opposition presidential candidates.

My Adventures during Kadayawan 2009

24th Kadayawan Festival
August 17-23, 2009

Our theme for this year is:

“Nahiusang Katawhan Nakigdait sa Kalibutan”
(“One People in Communion with the Earth”)

The life and culture of the indigenous peoples have always been linked to the land. Since time immemorial, Davao has been the homeland of the Indigenous Peoples and land has become the core of their existence. If their land is lost, so is their culture and traditions. Thus, there is a need to defend the indigenous peoples’ ancestral lands for them to continually live and practice their way of life- consulting the spirits, working with nature and sharing with others. This is the main reason of celebrating the Kadayawan sa Dabaw 2009.

FLORAL FLOAT PARADE

kaSONAngalingan ni Gloria

While walking along the busy street of San Pedro Davao City. I SAW this weary child resting with steel thorns over him. No joke, these steels can kill -one false move.
Does 126 claps for Gloria's SONA'09 mean 126 achievements?126 success?126 better programs?For me its 126 lies!
Ok, you are right, the government succeeds economically speaking. I am not an anti-GMA (even if I am a KAPAMILYA) nor one of the crouching activists. I just express the way I see things on the other side of the government's coin.
THE IRONY. She promised to build strong governance. She implemented laws. She bravely fought the challenge - to be the head of this country. But, she forget to lean, watch her land and find the smallest yet determinant of failure.(FAILED GOVERNANCE). She could have started to solve this country's problem from the smallest detail. Her office announced this and that,programs and success stories, but you can't feel it. As long as there would be children ( as the photo shows) suffering on the street, begging for food and longing for love, this country remains POOR and you really really can't feel SONA.
COMMENT TO THE PRESIDENT. I still idolize your capabilities. You are still the strongest woman I ever knew. I just hope, before your term ends, please save the future of these street children. You are also a mother so take good care with your little angels. At least 126 words for orders to have immediate action to this clear problem.126 children.126 attentions.126 actions. And I would say , you deserve to be applauded 126 times.
