Drug addiction can ruin someone’s life and I guess everyone is aware about that but how come Drug addiction cases are continuously increasing here in our country? Should we blame the Government for lacking some actions? Or maybe there are deeper reasons behind them. They said that depression is one of the most commonly known issues why there is such thing as drug addiction. In this case, we can do nothing about it since it is a personal issue unless we are there relatives who can be there to stop him and encourage him to take the right path.

Drug Addiction is indeed a nightmare but that doesn’t mean that there’s no way to escape that horrible situation. We should be grateful that we have now those rehab centers that can help those people who are seeking for complete recovery. You can encourage him to take Short Term Drug Rehab which may last up to 30 days period or that Long Term Sessions which may take up to 4 months and up.

You can stay inside their centers like those In Patient Drug Rehab Florida programs which is said to be more effective than the so called Out patient sessions.

Some people take drugs to ease the pain, to forget their problems or to keep them away from depression even in just a short period of time. You do not have to be afraid to them. These people need our guidance. We have to help them realized that they are not alone and they have friends that they can count on.

Are you guys familiar with Connie Culp and the story behind her? I’m sure you have heard about her because she was being interviewed by several talk shows in the US for becoming the first ever full face transplant recipient in the US back in 2008. I was really shocked after hearing her story behind her disfigured face. Who could ever imagine a husband shooting her wife’s face via shotgun which almost ripped off her entire face and almost kill her to death. Thanks God she was able to survived that horrible nightmare of her life and thanks to her surgeons who did all their best to bring Connie back to her normal life.

I remember she mentioned to Oprah how much she was being teased by other people and call her a monster. All her life, she’s been living in despair on sorrow but she never loses hope and look what she is now.

The surgeons was able to lift her from such a horrible nightmare. This was probably one of the most successful event in the Cosmetic Surgery industry. Connie is one of the living proof that Cosmetic Surgery is a very effective tool that can change someone’s life for better.

Well, of course, we do not have the same condition as Connie but in reality, there are so many people being teased and discriminated because of their physical body defects. We should be very grateful that technology like Cosmetic Surgery is invented to help these people.

Right now, modern advances made cosmetic surgery much safer and affordable to everyone. There are so many surgeries developed to improve someone’s physical appearance. Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery in California is aiming to provide satisfying services to their customers. They guarantee you to get the best results whether you are looking for an ethnic plastic surgery or whatever type of procedure like liposuction and breast augmentation and more. The group of california plastic surgeon from Rodeo Drive are well trained and highly professional in this field which will keep all your worries away about the risk of the operation. We must be very thankful that we have these people who are willing to show their dedication and willingness to help people like Connie.

Let’s say that alcohols are one of your guilty pleasures. They are something that you cannot resist or something that you can’t live without. Well, alcoholic beverages are not that bad. In fact, some of them promotes healthy benefits. You might be familiar with what so-called  “French paradox”, an observation stating that moderate alcohol drinkers are less likely to suffer from heart attacks than those of non consumers and heavy drinkers. Even beers has health benefits. It is said that they have the ability to increase the amount of good cholesterol in your bloodstream and help decrease blood clots. Red wine is also known for producing resveratrol that can be used in so many different ways.

Yes, they can give you so many health benefits but we have to take note that abusive drinking leads to alcohol addiction or alcoholism. Just like drug addiction, this condition can be worst if you failed to do immediate action about it. Lindsay Lohan, Mel Gibson, and Amy Winehouse are few of the celebrities who had suffered from alcoholism. However, these celebrities were able to overcome their addiction because of the help of some Alcohol Treatment rehabilitation centers. Here, patients will be given series of therapies and medication. Some rehabs like the Florida Alcohol Treatment Center offers some other ways of curing alcoholism. I have heard that they have this Alcohol Detox treatment that can cure alcoholism much faster.

Alcohols are not that bad as long as you know how to control yourself and how to drink in a moderate way.

Drug Addiction is probably one of the biggest problems that every Countries are facing today. It is quite alarming too that the cases of drug addiction are continuously increasing every year! What will happen to our future? What kind of society does future generation kids will see? We do not want them to grow in such an unhealthy environment right? Well, i wish Government will give more attention in solving this crisis. I hope they will give more anti- drug trafficking campaigns and I hope they build more rehabilitation centers for those innocent victims.

Drug addicts are not criminals, it is the side effects of the drugs that they are taking that poison their minds to make crimes.  That’s why we have Drug Treatment Centers to prevent victim’s condition from getting worst.They offer Drug Treatment Programs that are very effective for patient’s immediate recovery. However, not all rehabilitation centers here in the country can give you that 100% assurance that you’ll get cured because not all of them has the right facilities or maybe the services they offered are not effective enough to cure a patient who is highly influenced by drugs.

It is better that you conduct some research in order to find the best Drug Treatment centers in your area or state. If you really want to get out from the horrible nightmare brought by Addiction, it’s like a “Mind over matter” procedure. Think what you know is right, then do something to make it possible!

We usually hit the bars in Makati every special occasion and it’s cousin Melvin who usually insist to make some bar hop and try different wines being offered by different bars. If you go to Greenbelt Makati, you’ll see huge line of bars and fine restaurants. I used to drink occasionally and if there’s a drink that i really like the most, that would be red wine. All the finest Red Wines are being serve here mostly during very special occasion like Christmas. Actually we did so bar hops last December 27 (which is my birthday) and we tasted different red wines from different resto.

(Tita Thess and her friends)

Cousin Ichan and Melvin.

Actually, we even had a short debate about Red Wines. We argued about the best red wine among all the wines that we have tried that day.

In fact, i did some research about it. There are different kind of Red wines. They are blended in so many different ways and are being made from different countries. Blush Wine is one of my favorites. It is cheap yet offers distinct aroma and taste. They are sweeter than other any red wines and it usually  served well chilled like White wine.

If you are a sweet wine drinker and if you want an Australian style wine, then i recommend you to try their Shriraz. It’s kinda spicy and peppery but it can be served in fruity style which most sweet drinkers enjoy.

If you like something light, then you must try Rioja, one of the finest red wine from Spain. What i like about this wine is that, it is light , gentle and soft. Perfect to wind up your day!

Well, drinking red wines is not actually just for celebration purposes, it also plays a big role in achieving a healthy lifestyle! Yup! Red wine produce an anti oxidant known as resveratrol which are now widely use for different medical purposes.

It is said that the resveratrol helps fight inflammation and prevent it from getting worst. It has been widely associated with many health benefits ranging from antiaging to boosting antiviral treatments. It helps to prevent blood clots and combat cancer too according to some studies.

They said that it is also an effective tool for weight loss. Well, i just don’t know how effective this supplement is since i haven’t buy resveratrol yet. But i will definitely considered to buy this supplement since i am desperately want to lose weight! Well, for the mean time, i will just hit the gym as often as i can or use my p90x resistance bands in case i failed to hit the gym because of my busy schedule!

Are you familiar with Anorexia? How about Bulimia? Well both of these are what so called Eating Disorders. Actually, it is very hard to find out if an individual is suffering from either Anorexia or Bulimia unless the effects are pretty much obvious already. Anorexia Nervosa or simply known as Anorexia is one of the most common type of eating disorders that is experienced most by teenagers. They said that these eating disorders have something to deal with mental and emotional problems. I’m sure you are all familiar with Karen Carpenters Right? She is the lead vocalist of the classic duo of “The Carpenters”. She is well known for her amazing vocal performances but aside from this, she also shocked the public as she died at a very young age of 32. It was said that Karen suffered a lot from Anorexia which brought her to some other serious complication. Since then, people started to pay attention with Anorexia. Karen’s death set as an example that this kind of condition is something that you shouldn’t be ignoring about. You can Overcome Eating Disorders through some treatment programs like the Florida Eating Disorder Treatment that offers series of therapies and Psychoanalysis treatment that will definitely help you to recover from such a horrible nightmare.

Time really run out so fast and I just can’t imagine that I just turned 22 last week and now it’s 2011. I am not getting any younger so as my beloved parents. I know that the time will come that I will live separately from them and I will have my own family. I know that the time that I am spending with them right now will be lessened as soon as I have a family of my own. My mom and I were really close and I do not want to be away from her as much as possible but of course we cannot tell what will happen to the future just like what happened to my uncle, he decided to keep Grandma with him but they had experience some trouble in regards with some family issue between him and his wife. This makes me realized that maybe it would be great if I hired a nurse to monitor my mom’s health and condition but of course it would be better if I, myself as their son will take care of them personally. But for those who are busy with their work and have some family issues, I guess it would be much better if you take them to a nursing home where they will be dearly cared. They will never feel alone there too knowing that they will be living there with people with the same age. Their health will be regularly monitored too. If you are looking for a perfect nursing home for your mom, you might want to visit www.aplaceformom.com and see what the site has to offer for your aged parents.

This is me when i was working in a call center last 2008. I think this is the lowest weight i have ever had.

Now this photo was taken last 2009. I gained a bit weight but still manageable.

Now this is my latest photo taken last week.

See the difference? I gained so much weight lately and it makes me so upset. I thought going to gym regularly will keep me back in shape but it seems not to work very effectively to me. I have tried using dietary supplements and some appetite suppressant but for some reason, i still find it hard to cut off all the extra calories . I really have to lose weight and i will set it as on of my goal next year! I have to bring my shape back! I’ve been hearing about this hcg diet from some of my colleague which makes it more intriguing to me. I did some research online about this Human Chorionic Gonadotropin or simply known as hcg. It is actually a hormone produced during the pregnancy. The main function of this hormone is for progesterone level maintenance and provides produced for women during the pregnancy.

However, recent studies confirmed that Hcg can also be an effective tool for weight loss. Through hcg drops the fats in your body will be mobilized and be burned. The mobilized fats will be converted into an energy source. Both hcg supplements and hcg injections received high marks across the boards which makes it safe to use. I will i better buy hcg now and start taking it and bring me back to shape!  Anyway, I guess, it will be more effective if you match it with balanced diet and regular exercise. Self Discipline is the main key towards effective diet. Keep you self in shape and always live healthy.
