Why is grooming important?

Its very obvious that grooming is very important to everyone no matter if you are a boy or a girl. But we have different preferences and needs that would suit the body. That is why the need for grooming kits that are supplementary to the regular cleaning habits like soap, shampoo and brushing. So this is also the reason why there are a lot of grooming products that would be right for the type of body or face that you have. I believe you know about metrosexuals, the men who are very vain and would be willing to spend to look good, they are actually exponentially rising with males even with straight guys. But it is becoming integrated with the society today and we also see no issues with that at least good looking guys (like me) are on the rise. Grooming may look like a ancient ritual to some but it also shows the eagerness to look the best especially if you talk to different people everyday.

WOTL: Maala-ala mo kaya?

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN
of the things that just happened in the nation
calamities, controversies, and even scandals
we were furious about them in the past
but what about now
because we are not concerned?
no
because we forget too fast.

today is world AIDS day...

It has been decades but still this disease has no cure but still affects millions of people worldwide. Although there has been some reports of a vaccine being formulated, they are still raw and is below 50% success rate. Thus we pray for these research would be more successful in the following time. For now, we still need to continue to prevent and stop its spread all over the world. And here in the Philippines, there are less than 5000 people infected by AIDS, however we should not remain complacent since this can still infect a lot of people. So for this, we support and advocate the continuous efforts for prevention and the research for its cure and also pray for the victims to recover eventually until finally healed. For this day lets tie the red ribbon....

Blah Blah Blogs: Gat Andres Tribute

Its BONIFACIO DAY, a holiday, but what is the essence? You may know Andres Bonifacio as the brave Katipunero who fought for freedom of the Philippines. But there are more to Bonifacio other than his bolo and his shredded cedula. His lived a life not like Rizal with foreign education and women. He was immersed with self-education and hard work to support his family. He sold fans and canes for a living. He was also into theater as an actor. Many of us may not know that he is also a poet as he wrote several poem inspired with the books he have read and the people he looked up to. So when he organized the KKK or Katipunan, it was also a league of intelectual but with more options of going into revolution. Rizal actually did not support his actions since it was not the right time. But even without Rizal's support the revolution did pushed through and eventually led the country into independence. There was also an issue that Bonifacio was the first president de facto of the Republic and not Aguinaldo. There was also rumors and debates that Aguinaldo was the reason for the assasination of Bonifacio and his brother. And still these facts and rumors still exist. Even he might not be the official National Hero, I still consider him as one. Not that he is superior to Rizal or Aguinaldo but to the fact that his love for the country was really pure and made real changes, he did not let time pass by to act. He made sure that he can still prove to be called a worthy leader by his intelect, passion and intention. This these things are what the world needs as a characteristics of a leader. That's Bonifacio.

Efren Penaflorida Jr -A Hero proves his worth (Blah Blah Blogs Special Feature)

"Serve, serve well,
serve others above yourself
and be happy to serve."
--Efren Penaflorida, CNN Hero of the Year

If you think HEROES only exist in comics, animation and fantasies, they are actually just like us-humans. Its kinda refreshing to see that aside from the glory given by Manny Pacquiao in the sport of boxing, we also get to encounter a hero by the name of Efren Penaforinda Jr. He does not have superpowers but he changed the world. He just received the honor of being CNN's Hero of the Year. Along with him are 28 other finalists (shortlisted into the top ten) that were also recognized as CNN Heroes.
I would really want to meet this person personally and probably have a chat with him about what he has done. I can feel his humilty leaking from his aura of love and service to his apostolate, to provide education to the poor pinoys using a pushcart (kariton) with books and other materials that acts as a mobile school. He actually founded the Dynamic Teen Company which is a group of volunteers that follow the same principle and works of Efren. I think these are the things needed by our world now, dynamic persons that would act on their own to be the change they are looking for. Its just so sad that we sometimes place our whole trust in politicians and other officers to clean the messes of society that we sometimes are to blame.
I felt very inspired about his win, the truth is, I hope in the near future I could also be that change that kuya Efren has shown to us. Obviously it is quite impossible and impractical but passion drives people like him to overcome them and change it to opportunities. If my memory is correct, he has been doing this thing for quite some time now and for the group that still continues to grow. Truly inspirational.
Efren said that the monetary prize from CNN will be used for the expansion of his youth network and some will be given to a church that will also provide relief efforts and help to people in need especially to the people badly affected by the typhoons. It is an eye-opener that one can really make a huge impact on the society by dedicating oneself in making a better society even if the only thing that you got is yourself.

The gala event, taped before an audience of 3,000 at the Kodak Theatre, premieres on Thanksgiving, November 26, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on the global networks of CNN.
