New research shows that there is a correlation between the amount of time you spend in front of the TV and how long you live.
There is a study at the University of Queensland (Australia) that for every hour of television after 25 years of age, the average human lifespan drops by 22 minutes. A person who watch six hours of TV per day will, on average, live five years less than people who spent less time on the couch and in front of the television screen. Those are some scary numbers.
Its not the TV that kills us but more its more of the lack of exercise and bad eating habits that shortens life of every couch potatoes. A person who stays active are the ones who will live longer than person who likes to watch television.

Buhay Amerika (Life in America) From a Filipino Immigrant

Lahat ng sinabi niya nakakatuwa at TOTOO!!!
Akala ng mga tao na nasa Pilipinas kapag nasa America ka akala nila madami ka ng pera. Ang totoo , madami
kang utang , dahil credit card lahat ang gamit mo sa pagbili mo ng mga gamit mo. Kailangan mo gumamit ng credit card para magka-credit history ka , kase pag hindi ka umutang o wala kang utang , hindi ka pagkakatiwalaan ng mga kano . Pag wala kang credit card , ibig sabihin wala kang kapasidad magbayad.
Akala nila mayaman ka na kase may kotse ka na. Ang totoo , kapag hindi ka bumili ng kotse sa America
maglalakad ka ng milya-milya sa ilalim ng init ng araw o kaya sa snow. Walang jeepney , tricycle o padyak sa America …
Akala nila masarap ang buhay dito sa America .. Ang totoo , puro ka trabaho kase pag di ka nagtrabaho , wala kang pangbayad ng bills mo sa kotse , credit
card , ilaw , tubig , insurance , bahay at iba pa. Hindi ka na pwedeng tumambay sa kapitbahay kase busy din sila
maghanap buhay pangbayad ng bills nila.
Akala nila masaya ka kase nagpadala ka ng picture mo sa Disneyland , Seaworld , Six Flags , Universal Studios at iba
pang attractions. Ang totoo , kailangan mo ngumiti kase nagbayad ka ng $70+ para makarating ka dun , kailangan mo na naman ang 10 hours na sweldo mong
pinangbayad sa ticket.
Akala nila malaki na ang kinikita mo kase dolyar na sweldo mo. Ang totoo , malaki pagpinalit mo ng peso , pero
dolyar din ang gastos mo sa America . Ibig sabihin ang dolyar mong kinita sa presyong dolyar mo din gagastusin.
Ang P15.00 na sardinas sa Pilipinas $1.00 sa America , ang isang pakete ng sigarilyo sa pilipinas P40.00 , sa
America $ 6.50 , ang upa mo sa bahay na P10 , 000 sa Pilipinas , sa America $1 , 000++.
Akala nila buhay milyonaryo ka na kase ang ganda ng bahay at kotse mo. Ang totoo milyon ang utang mo. Ang bago mong kotse 5 taon mong huhulugan. Ang bahay 30 taon mong huhulugan. Ibig sabihin , alipin ka ng bahay at kotse mo.
Madaming naghahangad na makarating sa America .. Lalo na mga nurses , mahirap maging normal na manggagawa sa Pilipinas. Madalas pagod ka sa trabaho. Pag dating ng sweldo mo , kulang pa sa pagkain mo. Pero ganun din sa ibang bansa katulad ng America ….
Hindi ibig sabihin dolyar na ang sweldo mo , yayaman ka na , kailangan mo ding magbanat ng buto para mabuhay ka sa ibang bansa.
Isang malaking sakripisyo ang pag alis mo sa bansang pinagsilangan at malungkot iwanan ang mga mahal mo sa buhay.Hindi pinupulot ang pera dito o pinipitas. Hindi ako naninira ng pangarap , gusto ko lang buksan ang bintana ng katotohanan
Ang bottom line para sa akin ay
THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME ,
PHILIPPINES MY PHILIPPINES ,
BABALIK KA RIN PAGTANDA MO AT DUON MO UUBUSIN ANG NATITIRA SA BUHAY MO SA ATING BANSANG SINILANGAN.
Pero pag retired ka na at dala mo dolyar mo sa Pilipinas mas maganda lalo kung palainum ka ng kape. Dun sa Pinas, voice activated ang coffee maker. Mag salita ka lang ng “Inday, kape nga dyan!” Lumalapit ang kape sa iyo at alam na alam pa nga timpla mo!
Anong masasabi mo kabayan….. …totoo di ba?

Software Development, not by fate

Early morning I get up my bed, prayed and wished that I may be able to land a job. Today I’ll be going to another company trying my luck out as a Jr. Developer. Sadly, after I had their examination same as what I had on my RCG IT application I had my misfortune. It’s been weeks and counting that I am aspiring and stum
ble on for a job but until now I haven’t found right post for me. Bad timing, not my time I guess but then I am so disappointed of what I am acting and performing. I feel like giving up on these tribulations I am encountering. I am not finding post because of my personal growth but for others. Yes, I do have other plans for my salary and I should keep it private until I landed for one. Stumbling for a jobs seems so hard given that you are a newly graduate getting a post which needs job experience. Software development is what I love but Kuya seems not giving me what I wanted. I remember what I just had written on my application. They are asking me what drives me apply for that position on their company. I simply said, “It is my passion dreaming of new ideas and putting it into actions through software development and I guess that drives me to apply for that position you’re company is catering”. But I guess, software development is not the career which my fate is pointing at I should search for it.
After my exam, I went straight to Glorietta to bug off my mind out of tribulations and miseries. I set up my mind watching another romance movie. Fate gave me such bonus and drives me to watch not-so-romantic-movie Book of Eli. At first I thought Book of Eli was an action movie that I even told my girlfriend it is an action film [we should have watched them together the other day or maybe today]. Kuya strikes again, this time I will listen. [Seriously, I am not totally listening at Him] He let me watched the movie all alone, strikes me at my most unhappy part of my day. While I am watching a movie and I think of someone will bombard the movie house as one unknown person find a seat beside me and after few minutes left. I couldn’t see anything as where he sat was a few seats from me but then he left it unfolded. To my nervousness I am praying that if this is my time, it is my time. The best part is, I am watching an apocalypse-type of movie. How real right? 
Further on, at first I didn’t get a chance to tell myself I will love this movie but as the reel goes winding made me realize it is a good film to watch. Suggestion, watch it all by yourself then think of deep things like death and what ifs.
(Just to further spill to you what the movie is all about, lemme share it to you on my next post)
After I had watched it, I then hurry to go out of the movie house to my fear of someone bombarding it. haha! Well, every time I go to the movie house that is what runs on my wits. Relaxing, peaceful aura of a movie house ample of guys and gals are dating someone will ruin your day by taking Death bringer at your side. Anyway!
After I took my shopping center rituals, I decided to walk down the and settled to talk to my Father, I went to my Father’s house [ours] and talked. We had a good talk and rest is history.
As I am ending my day with a blog, I am trying to start a new life. Good start of mom taking me at a nearby dentist to treat my Aquino-colored teeth. And a good start of not having petty fight with my mom.
As I end this blog I just want to quote Eli’s prayer I guess this is a good way to end the night.. “Dear Lord, Thank you for giving me the strength and the conviction to complete the task you entrusted to me. Thank you for guiding me straight and true through the many obstacles in my path. And for keeping I resolute when all around seemed lost. Thank you for your protection and your many signs along the way. Thank you for any good that I may have done, I’m so sorry about the bad. Thank you for the friend I made. Thank you for finally allowing me to rest. I’m so very tired, but I go now to my rest at peace. I fought the good fight, I finished the race, I kept the faith. “
