The Healthier Road : Staying Away From Fattening Foods

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Everybody loves eating, especially if your favorite food is the one served on the table. During the holidays, a lot of people gain weight because of the delicious food prepared during Noche Buena and Mega Noche. But what makes our food tasty and delicious?

We consume a lot of fattening foods each day yet we don’t find ways to keep ourselves healthy and active. Because of this we don’t experience only physical problems like getting fat, we also get heart problems, high blood pressure and diabetes.

It’s time to choose the healthier road. We must avoid eating fattening foods. We can still enjoy our favorite foods but with not as much fat, calories and sugar. We don’t have to stop eating fatty foods since they give us energy, we should just control the amount that we eat.

In these days, people need to be practical in their own ways to be able to have a stable life. By having a business, we need to be practical in this matter so that it will be a successful business.

My ideal kind of business is to have and to manage my own company. To start a business, you need to have the strength and the courage to have it. In a business you need to plan what kind of business you will do. You should aim to have success on your business. If you don’t aim to be a successful businessman or businesswoman, it’s better not to have business.

Business is like a game that is very exciting. You have fun in playing but there are times that you need to be serious because you need to have a successful work. You enjoy but still you need to work.

I have great reasons to suspect that my neighbors are time travelers. I truly believe they are from the future. The signs are very significantly revealing to prove that they are indeed from some other time aside from the present. Believe me when I say they are not from this century.

Time travel has fascinated me but never in my lifetime did I think I would see it in real life. Imagine being perplexed and petrified at the same time when I realized my neighbors are not the ordinary and common people in my decent and friendly neighborhood located in a small bliss residence in one of the small cities in the Philippines.

At first I thought they were just eccentric individuals so I minded my own business, but many instances finally accumulated and summed up into an enigmatic conclusion mixed with fear and awe.

Why do I suspect him to be a time traveler? Here are the top ten signs:

Wait Until Dark: A Mystery Psychological Suspense Thriller Set to Open on January 17

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Repertory Philippines proudly announces the start of its 2014 season with its first challenging production entitled WAIT UNTIL DARK --- a thriller written by Frederick Knott.

The play that the New York Post deemed “a first rate shocker,” WAIT UNTIL DARK is a suspense about a blind housewife named Suzy who finds herself terrorized by three strange men. The men search for a doll that has been filled with heroin and little does Suzy know, her husband has mistakenly transported the doll across the Canadian border and into their apartment. Suzy must rely on her instincts, with the help of a neighbor girl and the cover of darkness to outwit the dangerous strangers and protect her life.

WAIT UNTIL DARK premiered on Broadway in 1966 with Lee Remick portraying the role of Suzie, which earned her a Tony Award nomination for best actress in a play. After 374 performances, a film version was released in 1967 which starred Audrey Hepburn, Alan Arkin and Richard Crenna. Hepburn garnered Oscar and Golden Globe nominations for her portrayal in the film. The Bravo network ranked the film 10th on its list for 100 top scariest moments.

We all know that our health is precious, so we spend our money to the doctors to cure us in the times when we are ill. And we go to the nearest pharmacy to buy medicines that we believe to cure us from our illness. But do we wonder what separates the, so-called “generic” medicines and “branded” medicines? This article will be discussing these for the information of the people reading my article.

First of all, only registered pharmacists can dispense and sell medicines to exclude physicians from this practice under the Republic Act 5921 or the Pharmacy Law of the Philippines. Thus, it is illegal for any physician to sell their medicines in their clinic. And also the physician is giving us the so-called “prescriptions” which our medicine name is written. And it is presented to the pharmacist to ensure safe and correct medicine.

Unfortunately, this practice is being abused by some opportunistic health care professionals and pharmaceutical companies.

Ready to bring your story to the stage? Learn how to write plays from five-time Palanca Award-winning writer, Dr. Joem Antonio, in Amateur Playwriting. This is a three-hour workshop that will be held on January 18, 2:00 PM at U-View, Fully Booked, Bonifacio High Street.

"Playwriting is an exciting and accessible performing arts scriptwriting discipline. Anyone can write a play, round up some friends as actors, and gather an audience to present original theatre at its most fundamental level. But to write great plays that enthrall audiences, you may want to explore playwriting in more detail. To be a successful playwright, you need to know where ideas for plays come from, the lingo writers speak, how to create fully dimensional characters, how to write dialogue, where to start your play, how to develop your storyline and reach the story’s climax, and how to bring your play to a satisfying conclusion." - Angelo Parra

Aspiring playwrights will learn the differences between theater and other media, constructing a story for the script, making a story feasible for stage performance, and formatting a script for directors and actors. By the end of the workshop, attendees will have a basic method to follow in writing theater plays.
