Nurses, all the Best for You!
When checking into the site you will be able to award a scrubbies certificate to your co-nurses whom you believe is a scrubby in the truest sense of the word. Also, as a nurse you can participate in their scrubs poll questions relating to our day to day activities. Another thing that made me more interested in scrubsmag.com is that they give tips about nurse's fashion in their On Duty section. Isn't great? I'm sure all nurses, from different parts of the world, can relate in this amazing site.

My Dream Furnitures
Next, I would go to the section where it displays bedroom furniture. Since I'm a home buddy, I spend most of my time inside my room, surfing the net, lying on the bed, watching movies or television. As much as possible, I wanted our room to be as comfortable and spacious looking as possible. Now, that our garage is finally done and the lanai will be done in a week's time. I'm planning to buy outdoor couches to accommodate friends and other visitors, most especially that my husband and I are planning to have a house warming when all the construction is over.
If you are looking for the best furniture in town but have so little time to cover every aspect of it, try checking this website, a one-stop furniture shop. It would surely help you just as it helped me.

Having Fun
Accessorize Yourself!
Just recently, I discovered an amazing site that produces elegant, durable and stylish Beaded Lanyards and I was delighted to see that there are many designs to choose from. You can also have your own beaded lanyards made for all kinds of occasions plus these lanyards have hangers wherein you can use it in the office or at your workplaces as ID or badge holder.
One nice thing about these world-class lanyards is that its makers have help lots of organizations through fund raising activities. What a best way to raise funds! If given a chance, I would really love to participate in this Fundraising Jewelry campaign. In that way I can be as fashionable and stylish as i wanted to be and at the same time helping the beneficiaries of the fund raising campaign,

Pass the Butter...pls.
Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys.
When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research
wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do
with this product to get their money back.
It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow coloring and sold it to people to use in place of butter.
How do you like it?
They have come out with some clever new flavorings.
DO YOU KNOW...the difference between margarine and butter?
Read on to the end...gets very interesting!
Both have the same amount of calories.
Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams compared to 5 grams.
Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over eating the same amount of butter, according to a recent Harvard Medical Study.
Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods.
Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few only because they are added!
Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavors of other foods.
Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been around for less than 100 years.
And now, for Margarine...
Very high in trans fatty acids.
Triple risk of coronary heart disease.
Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) and lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol)
Increases the risk of cancers up to five fold.
Lowers quality of breast milk.
Decreases immune response.
Decreases insulin response.
And here's the most disturbing fact....
HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING!
Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC...
This fact alone was enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance).
You can try this yourself:
Purchase a tub of margarine and leave it in your garage or shaded area.
Within a couple of days you will note a couple of things:
* No flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should tell you something)
* It does not rot or smell differently because it has no nutritional value
*Nothing will grow on it. Even those teeny weenie microorganisms will not a find a home to grow.
Why? Because it is nearly plastic. *Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?

Is it meant to be?
I went back to the store this afternoon, this time with my hubby and they told me that the stock will be available by 3pm. So went down the ground floor first to withdraw some cash but to no avail, the machine was out of order. Arrrggghh!!! We had our lunch at KFC and went back to the store at around 3:30pm. When we arrived, the stock did not arrived. Was bad trip! I was move to think that maybe, just maybe the cellphone I'm eyeing for is not meant for me. Well, I'm still pushing my luck tomorrow. If it doesn't turn out well, then it is not really meant to be.

Diabetes (Part 1)
Hope we could all learn from this....
What is diabetes?
Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by high blood sugar (glucose) levels, that result from defects in insulin secretion, or action, or both. Diabetes mellitus, commonly referred to as diabetes (as it will be in this article) was first identified as a disease associated with "sweet urine," and excessive muscle loss in the ancient world. Elevated levels of blood glucose (hyperglycemia) lead to spillage of glucose into the urine, hence the term sweet urine.
Normally, blood glucose levels are tightly controlled by insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas. Insulin lowers the blood glucose level. When the blood glucose elevates (for example, after eating food), insulin is released from the pancreas to normalize the glucose level. In patients with diabetes, the absence or insufficient production of insulin causes hyperglycemia. Diabetes is a chronic medical condition, meaning that although it can be controlled, it lasts a lifetime.
What causes diabetes?
Insufficient production of insulin (either absolutely or relative to the body's needs), production of defective insulin (which is uncommon), or the inability of cells to use insulin properly and efficiently leads to hyperglycemia and diabetes. This latter condition affects mostly the cells of muscle and fat tissues, and results in a condition known as "insulin resistance." This is the primary problem in type 2 diabetes. The absolute lack of insulin, usually secondary to a destructive process affecting the insulin producing beta cells in the pancreas, is the main disorder in type 1 diabetes. In type 2 diabetes, there also is a steady decline of beta cells that adds to the process of elevated blood sugars. Essentially, if someone is resistant to insulin, the body can, to some degree, increase production of insulin and overcome the level of resistance. After time, if production decreases and insulin cannot be released as vigorously, hyperglycemia develops.
Insulin is a hormone that is produced by specialized cells (beta cells) of the pancreas. (The pancreas is a deep-seated organ in the abdomen located behind the stomach.) In addition to helping glucose enter the cells, insulin is also important in tightly regulating the level of glucose in the blood. After a meal, the blood glucose level rises. In response to the increased glucose level, the pancreas normally releases more insulin into the bloodstream to help glucose enter the cells and lower blood glucose levels after a meal. When the blood glucose levels are lowered, the insulin release from the pancreas is turned down. It is important to note that even in the fasting state there is a low steady release of insulin than fluctuates a bit and helps to maintain a steady blood sugar level during fasting. In normal individuals, such a regulatory system helps to keep blood glucose levels in a tightly controlled range. As outlined above, in patients with diabetes, the insulin is either absent, relatively insufficient for the body's needs, or not used properly by the body. All of these factors cause elevated levels of blood glucose (hyperglycemia).http://www.medicinenet.com/diabetes_mellitus

X-Men Origin: Wolverine
Last night Ronald and I watched the X-Men Origin: Wolverine at SM. I am really a fan of the X-Men even before when I was still in my elementary days and the local channel showed the cartoon version of it. My brothers and I would gather around the television every Friday night to watch the cartoon. I must say that the Wolverine movie is very nice and very detailed. Hugh Jackman is the best and the right choice to play Wolverine. He gave justice to the role and brought Wolverine to life. I didn’t even know that Wolverine has a lovelife and he’s been through worst till I watched this movie. I wonder who is going to be featured next. Who do you think?

Memory Lapses
Memory Lapses: What's Behind Them?
People of all ages experience inconvenient—and sometimes embarrassing—memory lapses. Who hasn’t forgotten where they parked their car? But when older people are forgetful, many begin to worry that the slip-ups are precursors of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD).Alzheimer’s is a real concern, but we needn’t fear that every slip is a sure sign. Memory loss happens to all adults, and only in some cases does it signal a serious condition. Here are a few definitions of the common causes of memory loss in maturity.
Normal Age-Related Cognitive Changes
Studies confirm that the ability to remetmber details about our experiences, to manipulate multiple bits of information at the same time, and to identify the source of what we have learned often declines as we get older. This process actually begins as early as age 30, though it accelerates and becomes more noticeable after age 50. Although these cognitive changes can be annoying—and ultimately, can limit your activities and interests—they are part of normal aging. Recent research has indicated that keeping your mind engaged in new and challenging activities can help to prevent or reverse this normal “cognitive decline.”
Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a term that’s used to describe a more serious kind of memory decline. Like those aging normally, people with MCI may complain their memory isn’t what it used to be, and their loved ones might agree. But in addition to these general complaints, they also do worse on certain memory tests compared to others in their age group. Unlike in Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, though, people with MCI do not show impaired judgement.
Scientists aren’t certain exactly how many people have MCI. Estimates range from 1% (about 350,000 in 2000) to 26% (about 9.1 million in 2000) of Americans 65+. For some people, MCI represents a transitional period between the mild and manageable memory problems associated with normal aging, and the debilitating symptoms of AD. Estimates vary, but a number of studies suggest that about 10% of those with a specific type of memory-related MCI go on to develop AD each year.
For more info on MCI, visit the Mayo Clinic website.
Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer’s is the most common type of dementia. Currently an estimated 4.5 million Americans are afflicted with the disease. Unless effective therapies or cures are found, that number is expected to more than triple by 2050 as the Baby Boomers age and the number of people surviving into their 70s, 80s and 90s increases. That’s because older people are much more likely to get Alzheimer’s: while less than 10% of people 65+ have Alzheimer’s, over 47% of people 85+ do.
Scientists have been able to identify characteristics of brains afflicted with AD— neuritic plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, widened cortical sulci, and enlarged cerebral ventricles. So far, they have not been able to explain what actually causes the disease.
For practical purposes, AD has been divided into mild, moderate and severe stages that correspond to behavioral and physical changes. Cognitive symptoms that became more and more noticeable in the mild stage of the disease increase dramatically in the next stage. The moderate stage is also characterized by personality and emotional changes that may be challenging for caregivers to manage. In the final stage, physical problems dominate. Patients are unable to speak or walk, and they become incontinent.

Zombie
I am literally a walking zombie right now after 2 12-hour graveyard shifts. We don't have the luxury of time to rest our drooping eyes since our patient is still in a critical condition and his heart rate and rhythm is very erratic. Hopefully, I will be able to sleep the whole day today to compensate. Indeed being sleep deprived is no joke, it will surely bring out the monster in you! *wink*

What Up with me Nowadays?
I have been busy with few things like the garage construction, duties and choir practices. Then, I just finished reading the 3 of the 4 series of stephenie meyer. Now, half way through the Breaking Dawn book. This week will be an awfully busy week for me because I have to make more follow-up with the suppliers of the construction while at the same reporting for work. Hopefully I can still have time to update my blogs and do some reviews.

Facts that We Ought to Know
Very interesting, read until the end.....
It is written in the Bible (Galatians 6:7):
'Be not deceived; God is not mocked:
for whatsoever a man sow,
that shall he also reap.
Here are some men and women
who mocked God :
John Lennon (Singer):
Some years before, during his interview with an American Magazine, he said:
'Christianity will end, it will disappear.
I do not have to argue about
that. I am certain.
Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple, today we are more famous than Him' (1966).
Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, was shot six times.
Tancredo Neves (President of Brazil ):
During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500,000 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency.
Sure he got the votes, but he got sick a day before being made President, then he died.
Cazuza (Bi-sexual Brazilian composer, singer and poet):
uring A show in Canecio ( Rio de Janeiro ),
while smoking his cigarette, he puffed out some smoke into the air and said:'God, that's for you.'
He died at the age of 32 of LUNG CANCER in a horrible manner.
The man who built the Titanic
fter the construction of Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic would be.
With an ironic tone he said:
Not even God can sink it'
The result: I think you all know what happened to the Titanic
Marilyn Monroe (Actress)
She was visited by Billy Graham during a presentation of a show.
He said the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her.
After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she said:
'I don't need your Jesus'.
A week later, she was found dead in her apartment
Bon Scott (Singer)
The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC. On one of his 1979 songs he sang:
Don't stop me; I'm going down all the way, down the highway to hell'.
On the 19th of February 1980, Bon Scott was found dead, he had been choked by his own vomit.
Campinas (IN 2005)
In Campinas , Brazil a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a friend.....
The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of her friends and she said to the daughter holding her hand, who was already seated in the car:
'My Daughter, Go With God And May He Protect You.'
She responded: 'Only If He (God) Travels In The Trunk, Cause Inside Here.....It's Already Full '
Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died,
the car could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the trunk was intact.
The police said there was no way the trunk could have remained intact. To their surprise, inside the trunk was a crate of eggs, none was broken
Christine Hewitt (Jamaican Journalist and entertainer)
said the Bible (Word of God) was the worst book ever written.
In June 2006 she was found burnt beyond recognition in her motor vehicle.
Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus.
ny have died, but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is still alive.
