Beauty TIPS: Getting rid of pimples




Recently I was wondering on what to write for our blog since I cannot upload pictures yet and I was really stressed these past few days and pimples are showing due to my beauty dilemma. Anyways, I have decided to tackle about pimples and its home remedies.


Acne or pimples usually starts during puberty and fades during adolescent stage but depends on how we take care of our skin. It is most frequent on our faces but in some instances it will appear on our chest, back and upper outer arm.

Coping with Grief



Recently a bad news came to us, my best friend texted me that her 
father just died. The moment I have receibed her message, I was so shock and could not believe it and I was so confused whether it's tru or not (I just wanted to confirm the bad news ). I told my aunt about it and she said to continue texting her but do not ask about the death until they confirmed it. So I texted her brother and he confirmed the death of their father.

We visited the funeral wake and held our condolences to the family. I almost cried when I embraced my best friend's mother but I composed myself to not make a scene. And then we ask our friend on how she was coping and dealing with all of t his and she said she cried a lot when she found out and she could not cry anymore, I mean she wanted to cry but no more tears will fall (I also experience then, I remember we were in a restaurant and could not eat anything and I just feel really weak).  So we told her to  be strong and ask for guidance to our Father Jesus Christ.

So I have decided to write an article about  Grief and its coping mechanisms. Grief comes first whenever we have a major loss particularly to the loss of our family members or loved ones. It may be associated with shock and denial. Shock comes first when you found out about what had happen (Just like what happened to me when my mother died and now my best friend is experiencing it ), and denial is our initial reaction when we found out the sad truth. 

There are stages of grief and these are:
  • DENIAL AND ISOLATION
  • ANGER
  • BARGAINING
  • DEPRESSION
  • ACCEPTANCE
The first stage is Denial and Isolation: Denial comes when we could not accept the truth behind every situation and we separate ourselves from facts, hide our feelings and pretend that we are ok but these are all normal reaction from pain.

Health Alert: Peptic Ulcer


When I was in 3rd year college and my schedule was very hectic because that was the start of our hospital duty and so I began to skipped meals especially breakfast to b e always on time and ended up eating at school with cold coffee and bread and that was my daily routine then. Then one day I have a terrible stomach ache and vomited for like 4 times and almost got dehydrated but thank God  my aunt gave me a medicine  and so they insisted to have me checked up to know was is my illness. The doctor performed the IAPEPA or the Inspection, Auscultation, Percussion and Palpation and after the assessment my doctor said that I have acute gastroenteritis (this is an inflammation of the stomach and the intestines). The symptoms of this are diarrhea, crampy abdominal pain and vomiting which was all evident to my experience. After my doctor assessed me, she gave me a medicine to prevent the progress of the disease. But when I was in my last year of college, it got worst and again I went to another doctor and scared as he gave me the result, he told me that I have peptic ulcer.

So peptic ulcer are sores that develop in the mucosal wall of the stomach, pylorus, duodenum or esophagus.
