Yesterday my nephew Mark Jame came to our house together with another nephew from my cousin Ayeng. This was not actually the first time that Mark came to our house. Last year he stayed with us for three months, in searched for job. He wasn’t able to get a job because he was still minor at that time, he is only seventeen. Then he told me his interest to enroll at Philippine National Police Academy in the capital city. So we go to the regional office for inquiries. There we were given application form.

After reading it I know my nephew did not met the height requirement because it requires 5”4 ft. in height while he stands 5”2 ½ ft. that time. Yesterday they came here to pass the application but they were told to mail it to the head office. The form was already filled up and still he did not meet the height requirement though he grows ½ taller after one year. I felt reluctant for him, unlike the other nephew who is two inches taller than the required height. I just hold on my tongue about his deficiency because I know, it will not only disappoint him, but will probably hurt him as well.

My nephew Mark is really interested in serving the country. It was my late father who influences him to be a policeman. His father died when he was only three. Most of the time my sister would leave him at father’s house when sister is busy. It was the time when rebellion was at its peak here in the Philippines. My father always told the boy to become a police or a soldier when he grows up to help restore peace and order. Mark kept my father’s word and he has that best intention to become one of the law enforcer. He submitted his application yesterday together with his cousin .I know my other nephew Ayeng will be 100% be accepted because he is tall, intelligent and has big body built, but I did not stop Mark because I know that like his cousin he is sincere and his heart is really to become a policeman. I only pray that like his cousin Mark will be admitted at the academy.

    Detoxification, healthy option

    Thursday

    Most of our cities all around the world are a toxic jungle. These are the price of modernization that we are reaping continually. The exhaust fumes, pesticides residues, food preservatives and many other agents that are carcinogenic potential.

    These toxins contribute a lot to respiratory distress, fatigue, headache, skin disorders, digestive problem and even immune deficiency. These toxins weaken the liver, gallbladder, pancreas and intestines resulting to weak performance of these organs, as these organs are responsible of clearing toxins in our blood.

    Detoxification has lots of ways like herbal. One good example is green tea. Green tea contains antioxidants. Teas help digestion, it aid regular bowel movement. This restores intestinal health which is the best place to start detox process. Teas like water lighten the workload of digestive organ.

    Eating healthy diet is also recommended. Fresh fruits and vegetables are good, whole grains, nuts, garlic, onions, turmeric and ginger. Cutting foods that are hard to digest like meats, high-fat foods can be a great help. Food supplement like vitamin C and E should be taken to stay healthy.

    Fasting is considered the best way to detoxify, but this is not recommended to somebody with ulcer. Fasting allows the body to use the fats in the body because dietary fats and carbohydrates are unavailable. Since fats are found in adipose tissue and toxins are also stored in adipose tissue then fasting liberates the toxin.

    Sweating is another option. Therapies that promote perspiration help the skin move waste out of the body. Hot baths, good exercise, saunas or any activity that enhances blood circulation and sweating can have cleansing and stimulating effect, thus we don’t have to engulf all those toxins and set around the corner just waiting when to be sick. We have to detoxify to enjoy life more.

    My husband took this picture last Saturday in my mother’s place in the hinterland of Digos  city. This is a water buffalo my older sister own. The bull have a good refreshment on the river….This river, I used to cross on my way to school. During heavy rains this river can’t be crossed.  We have to wait for an hour in the river banks until the rapids of the flood water will slow down..This river was a part of my life. It brings back my childhood memories. This is part of the place where I started to build my dreams.
