My daughter just graduated from elementary grades and i know that in 4 years time she will also graduate from high school.  How time flies!  I am sure that the coming 4 years will just go by in a blur.  The next thing i know is she will be enrolling in a medical assistant training school – i think by that time this school will be offering more allied courses. She can take up nursing, too if not Medical Technologist.

Here’s the graduate with her beloved grandma:

Am sure she loves her grandma from here to the moon and back.  Am just a second person in her life – it’s ok at least i still got a place.

Am so thankful to my mom for always being there every step of the way in Dimple’s first 12 years in life.

Am a person who loves to doodle.  But most of the time i draw flowers and trees and at times formless scribbles.

I saw this scribble circle test and i saw circles which i usually do scribble when am thinking or thinking nothing -

This is the first one -

With these two results i can say that am half half of both. They really sound almost true to what i regard myself. Hmm let me try to ask my friends if they can say “yes” to what i think in regards to these results.

I wish i can find online a natural look of a very beautiful face.  One that is fare and free from snitz and or acne marks.   There are many women worldwide who have acne problems and still no matter what they use to treat, it is still not working on them.  One friend wrote me long back to try on proactiv solution because it worked well on her. The acne responded well to the treatment. When i checked out the price, it’s one that i cannot afford.  But my friend said that it really worked and many can attest to the wonders it can do.   This only works well for those who are not allery with benzoyl peroxide.  If one is will get an allergic reaction benzoyl peroxide then this can still be a harsh treatment for the face.

1. Always wear eye protection.  Especially when swimming or doing carpentry.  The eyes will be protected from chlorine and debris that will cause corneal abrasions.

2.  Aim your car vents down at your feet.  Air conditioned air sucks out the moisture of the eyes.  Serious dryness can lead to corneal abrasions and even blindness.

3.  Eat fish twice a week because fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which is proven to reduce the risk of dry-eye syndrome.  Fish oil supplements will also do the requirement.

4.  Cook with red onions.  The red ones contain more quercetin, an antioxidant that is known to prevent against cataracts.

5.  Wear a large hat or hat along with your sunglasses.  It will block at least 50% of the UV rays that may enter from above or around the shades.

6.  Put on sunglasses whenever you leave the house.  Not only will they block out the harsh glare of the sun, but they will also protect the eyes from the drying effects of the wind.

7.  Havefor dinner.  Potatoes are rich in vitamins A.  They are great at improving night vision.

8.  Remove eye makeup every night.

9.  Take a bilberry supplement every morning.

10.  Have spinach twice a week.  It could be steamed, sauteed in some olive oil with garlic.

11.  Use herbs and spices instead of salt.  Studies have found that high-salt diets increase your risk of certain types of cataracts.  Be slow on canned and processed foods.  If you really need to buy canned goods – check out for labels that says “no salt”, “no sodium”, “low salt”, or “low sodium” tags.

12.  Use a fresh towel every time you wipe your face.   Sharing towels with others is a guaranteed way to get conjunctivitis – a highly contagious eye infection.

13.  Check your blood pressure every month.

14.  Walk at least four times a week.  Some evidence suggests regular exercise can reduce the intraocular pressure in people with glaucoma.

15.  Turn off the heat in your house.  Heat dries up the air which in turn dries out your eyes.  You can use humidifier.

16.  When you are working or reading, set your alarm to 30 beep every 30 minutes.  Use this as a reminder to look up and away to some distant for 30 seconds.

17.  Dab on essential oil of jasmine or peppermint on your arm and sniff.  Scent researcher Alan Hirsch of the Chicago-based Smell and Taste Treatment Research Foundation says jasmine increases the beta waves in the frontal lobes of your brain, enabling you to focus better and see things more acutely.

Oppss the alarm has rang!

Yesterday i almost shed tears of joy as i was trying to immerse in the joy of thinking that my daughter did well in school.  She graduated from the elementary education and i can say she did with with flying colors.  I almost cry for joy but i have to control myself.

This afternoon, one of our brothers in faith is being admitted in the ICU unconscious.  He looks so fit and healthy when he was up and about and i can’t help but cry.  My eyes are puffy now and i think i need some eye cream to make the puffyness go away. Life can be so fleeting. According to one of my friends – life is always uncertain. It’s only death that is certain. Looking at Pastor LT in bed asleep but looks struggling for breath even with the aid of respirator is really enough to prick a pain in your heart.

Pastor LT, may miracle be granted to you that you will be up the soonest.
