MY BLOG READER FROM THE LAND OF VIKINGS

Hi Brod,

Congratulations to your beautiful blog.

Interesting and great ideas.

Ang cute ng family mo. Talagang ulirang ama (bihira na lang ngayon). You appreciate life, count the blessings and you are happy. As my husband said "If you are lucky for love, you are not lucky for money". I prefer the first one.

Happy fathers day to you.

Sincerely yours,

Sis Shirley

Shirley Francisco ( now Mrs. Allerup) sent this words of inspiration to me. She was my former workmate at PESI and now resides in Denmark with her family. Magaling pong umawit itong kaibigan kong ito. I used to remember her singing (mostly Whitney Huston songs) everytime we have program or party in the office. Tama ka Sis, God will not give us everything . . and He can’t give us anything we can’t handle. For me "contentment" is what "happiness" all about. As Mother Theresa said “God doesn’t require us to succeed . . . He only requires that we try."

Salamat Sis, and regards na lang sa husband and kids mo. And don’t forget to read my blog ha? Hahahahahah! Gob bless!

SUNSILK . . Shampoo Day ba lang? Part 2( Are we stupid?)

Just to add more with regards to Amalia’s post about Formalin in Sunsilk Shampoo and to better inform us regarding the matter. May’s e-mail seemed to have an impartial judgement with the said shampoo brand, saying : “I have nothing against the SUNSILK SHAMPOO, its just that.. so far, sa Sunsilk ko lang kasi nakita ang Formaldehyde na content.” This notion isn’t true since nearly all shampoo brands have this content. Due to it's bad name , Formaldehyde is sometimes hidden under the name DMDM hydantoin or MDM hydantion.

What is DMDM hydantoin.?
It is one of the most irritating and allergenic preservatives used in shampoos and cosmetics. We can also find this chemical in adhesives, color photography, copy paper, cutting oils, floor waxes, herbicides, inks, latex paints and polymers.ffff It works by releasing formaldehyde into the product which prevent molds, mildews, and bacterial spoilage . You see? It has no beneficial effect to the consumers but merely serve as spoilage deterrent so the product can be usable up to the longest possible time. Another formaldehyde releasing preservatives are imidazolidinyl urea. 1,2-dimethylol-5,5-dimethyl hydantoin, 1,3-bis (hydroxymethyl)-5,5-dimethyl-2,4-imidazolidinedione, Dantoin DMDMH, Dimethyloldimethyl hydantoin, DMDMH, Glydant, Glydant Plus (95:5 mixture of DMDM hydantoin and Ido propynyl butyl carbamate), Mackgard DM and Nipaguard DMDMH. These are found in cosmetics, and skin care products. Examples of cosmetic products and toiletries are lotions, creams, moisturizers, emollients, foundations, powders, concealers, bronzers, self-tanners, makeup removers, sunscreens, eye shadows, and mascaras. It is also found in liquid soaps, hair conditioners, gels, bubble baths, baby wipes, and over-the-counter and prescription topical medicines. Other sources of exposure include detergents dishwashing liquids, and cleaning agents.

So you really want to know that SUNSILK isn’t the only shampoo/product that contains formalin? Here’s the list: Vaseline, Ivory, Dove, Head & Shoulder, Olay, Jergens, Florica & Botanica, Noxzema, , Suave, Flower & Rosemary, Freesia Lever, Village Natural, Pantene Pro, Pert Plus, Selsun Blue, St. Ives, Clairol, Dial, Prograine, Ponds, Imina, Safeguard, Aussie, New Finesse, Vidal Sassoon, Old Spice, Clearasil, Caress, Zest, Aveeno Diaper Rush Cream, Softsoap, Fresh Picked Raspberry, Aquarium, Aloe Vera, Balsam & Protein, Paul Mitchell, Nivea, Pert Plus, Johnson’s Diaper, Infusium 23 Hair, Neutrogena, Elmer’s Glue, Gerber Baby Wash, and many more (just find out yourself ) . Always check the product’s label and literature if they contain these chemicals or poison the whole family! Shampoo is said to be "one of the most toxic, persistent, bioaccumulative pesticides ever registered!".Cosmetics have their ugly secrets! As part of modern living, we create a wide variety of chemical toxins that go into our body system, through rivers and streams, the air, the soil and so on. Not only that, we actually synthesize toxic chemicals and then inject them directly into the food supply -- knowing full well that they are poisonous and are major contributors to the epidemic rates of chronic disease we are experiencing today. As human beings, we're the only species stupid enough to actually poison ourselves!

SUNSILK . . Shampoo Day ba lang? ( An E-mail and a Reply)

I received an e-mail from Amalia Lomarda Diongco my High School classmate. The message goes like this:

Sa mga gumagamit ng Sunsilk shampoo basahin nyo ito...

ei guys... alam nyo ba yung shampoo and conditioner na SUNSILK SUMMER FRESH?.. One of the ingredients of it is the "Formaldehyde" which is commonly called "Formalin" - Yes, yung ginagamit pang embalsamo ng dead people.. scary noh? (See for your self if you doubt about it).. everytime na nag shampoo tayo ng may Formaldehyde ingredients, parang enembalsamo na rin natin ang ating mga sarili. Actually, I already called the Unilever Customer Care and confirm to them that "Formaldehyde is actually the Formalin, and they said, "Yes, its Formalin, but they just put to the shampoo, a little amount so that it is still safe to the people...".. Pero diba, kahit little amount lang yung nilalagay nila sa shampoo but if everyday tayo gumagamit, everyday din nadadagdagan ang amount na nilalagay natin sa ating ulo na Formalin. I also searched to the internet "What is Formaldehyde? " and here are some definitions of it:

A chemical used in manufacturing and chemical industries, and as a
preservative by anatomists, embalmers, and pathologists. Being exposed to formaldehyde may increase the risk of developing leukemia and braincancer.
www.stjude.org/ glossary

is a colorless, strong-smelling gas. It is widely used in household
products, such as glue, wood products, permanent press fabrics,
flooring, cabinets, and furniture. enviromysteries. thinkport. org/breakingthem old/resources/ glossary. html

Although not common as a primary ingredient, formaldehyde is present as a contaminant in many consumer household products. It is an extremely potent carcinogen and respiratory irritant and may appear as a preservative. Products containing this chemical should be considered unacceptable.
www.seventhgenerati on.com/site/ pp.asp
and a lot more... mag search na lang kayo if you need more information about Formaldehyde. :-) Hindi lang naman SUMMER FRESH ng SUNSILK ang may ingredients na Formaldehyde, yung SUNSILK Repair din nila na shampoo meron din. Personally, alarming sya dahil Formalin is not really good for our health.
Though maganda nga hair natin, but still.. in long run.. if we keep using shampoo / conditioner na may content na Formaldehyde, baka preserve na ang body natin even if we are still alive. What's the use of the good looking hair, if our health is in at risk.. This e-mail is not for making bad impression to Sunsilk shampoo/conditioner . I just want to share my opinion regarding this alarming discovery. It's up to you if you would care to think / reflect about it or not.

Disclaimer:
I have nothing against the SUNSILK SHAMPOO, its just that.. so far,
sa Sunsilk ko lang kasi nakita ang Formaldehyde na content.

My reply:

FORMALDEHYDE? ??? FORMALIN???? The one Mr. Undertaker uses on corpses? Ha!ha!ha!ha! It's a very small thing as far as harmful and toxic chemical in shampoos are concern. Actually it's just one out of the many toxic chemicals in shampoos. Formaldehyde is irritating, allergy-producing, neurotoxin, and carcinogenic. It can cause imsomnia, headaches, nausea, nosebleeds, and skin rashes. DMDM hydantoin, imidazolidinyl, urea, and quanterium, 2-bromo-2-nitroprop ane-1,3-diol, diazolidinyl urea, are some of the most irritating and allergenic preservatives, contain, release or breakdown into Formaldehyde.
Shampoos fall into one or two categories: 1. cleansers that need a follow-up conditioner, 2. combo of cleanser and conditioner that don't clean as well as a straight cleanser and don't condition as well as a conditioner but will do a good job of both tasks. Most shampoos are in this category but differ as to which kind of conditioning ingredient they contain. Other special shampoos types are dry shampoos, baby shampoos, shampoos for color-treated hair, shampoos for processed hair , and daily use shampoos. Even if you opted to shift from one brand or types of shampoo to get away from this Formalin thing still you aren't safe using this sort of product. Aside from Formaldehyde, shampoos contain other chemicals which are hazardous to our health. To cite some : Cocamide DEA (also known as cocamide diethanolamine) , while not carcinogenic, has the potential to form carcinogenic nitrosamines; Sodium laureth sulfate (also sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laurel sulfate, and sodium dodecyl sulfate. Research has stated that levels of dioxin formation in products containing sodium laureth sulfate are unacceptable. Studies have shown eye and systemic tissue (heart, liver, brain) penetration. Lindane toxic and readily absorbed through the skin and known to cause convulsions and seizures. and many more which (some)shampoo manufacturers kept dependably discreet to their consumers.

Why only shampoo? How about the things we eat? Instant noodles, hot dogs, bacon and other processed meats, soft drinks, canned goods, cookies and crackers, margarines and other dairy foods? How about the medicine we take everyday? Or the other things we use like toothpaste, cosmetics, deodorants, air freshner, detergents, nail polish removers, paints, house hold cleaning products ? And what about those huge factories ? Our own car and other vehicles? Refrigerators, air cons, microwave and even computers?

There are a lot more to mention inside our home and
around the environment we live in. This world isn't safe anymore
and this is the price we have to pay for development and commercialization.
Just like freedom , progress should be equilibrium to a certain point
of constraint if we do not want extinction to scrape out humanity.
Let us do something for our home earth to stay.
Formalin isn't just the ONLY thing . . . .

MY BLOG READER FROM L'HEXAGONE

BONJOUR! I’ve got an inspiring note from L’Hexagone:

kuya jessie,

i just want u to know that im reading all ur blogs,and i was impressed, really,i enjoyed every bits of it..tnx kuya keep on posting.love 'em.....HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!!! GOD BLESS.

FAITH, my friendster and MHS Alumni groupmate sent this inspirational short message to me. She’s working in La Metropole ( France lang naman po! ) . Just like most of our ‘kababayans’ overseas who whine with home sickness, this beautiful, morena lady from Pampanga and Rachael Leigh look-alike “seems” to brushoff all the discomforts of longing for home. Mukhang napakasayahing tao kasi! Thank you so much Faith and the rest of the people who find time to visit my site and read my publication of personal thoughts. “La liberte nous a été donnée pour exprimer notre pensée”. Ingat ka jan and God Bless you always!

INDEPENDENCE DAY: Are We Really Free?

At dawn of April 27, 1521, Megellan invaded Mactan, a bloody battle ensued . Lapu-Lapu killed Magellan. For the next 54 years no alien dared to set foot on our soil; Malolos, June 23, 1899, the first Phillipine Republic was inaugurated at Barasoin Church marking the birth of Asia’s First Republic; 1986 Ferdinand Marcos was ousted by People Power Revolution at EDSA - - - these were the chapters of our freedom. How far our freedom has gone? Are we really free? Everybody loves freedom. Everybody wants it. Is it the right to do anything we want regardless of the impact on anyone else? People protest, hold demonstrations, run naked on streets. write or say anything against somebody . practice own religion, go anywhere they want, insult neighbors, politicians and even the president! One has the power to make their own choice and act upon them accordingly, however, it has to be balanced with order. It doesn’t mean that you can do whatever you want and having no obligations to anyone? They say: One’s freedom stops when other’s freedom starts. Wrong! Freedom should be balanced with certain constraint . Imagine if everyone do what they want would it work? No It would be a total chaos ! Freedom has a different meaning to every single person. Everyone has a different view of what freedom means to them. We can only be free if we let other people to be free as well. . .
Galatians 5:1
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.

MY BEST FATHER'S DAY GIFTS EVER!!!

In the past years the role of the father has been disputed but several researches have established the truth is that the Father’s role is as significant as that of the mother. You don’t have to look over to prove this fact. Ask the mother of any successful family and if you are still skeptical about this, ask the single mother who is strenuously having problems to fill the role of both father and mother. Fathers have always been associated with guidance and protection, a person who can be loved, respected and looked up to. A good provider, a generous spirit with deep concern for the welfare of his kids, wife and family as a whole. Someone who forgives and accepts a repentant son or daughter. Someone who is willing to work thousand miles away not minding the agony of solitude just to give the family a descent living.We often forget the sacrifices of our fathers and the role they have played in our lives. Many times men have been charged of some small group of women who label all men as being burdensome but the truth is - this world is a home of fathers who are responsible, caring, and loving to their wives and children and are loved in return.

Let us remember and give thanks not only our fathers but all the men who acted as a father figure in our lives. None can ever be proud than being a son or a daughter of a father who is so great, so good. . . HAPPY FATHER”S DAY!

I’ve just got a Father’s Day Gift. . . it’s JESSREEL! Together with Caca, Pau, Days, I consider them as my best Father’s Day presents and my best work ever!

Ephesians 6:4
Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.

HENRY SAYS . . . "SA 'PINAS LANG MERON NYAN!"

Tama ka klasmeyt sa Pinas nga lang may pandesal but do you know that this bread has similarities with “pan de agua” of Dominican Republic and “ bollilos” of Mexico for the reason that these breads use a lean type of dough and the process of making is the same? The only difference is how people eat these types of bread. Yung “pan de agua” at “bollilos” pinapalamanan at kinakain lang, nothing more. Ibang klase ang pandesal natin, san ka ba naman nakakita ng tinapay na hinuhugasan sa kape o tsokolate then iinumin ang pinagsawsawan? Iba't-ibang experiments na din when it comes to palaman ang naimbeto natin sa pandesal: dirty ice cream, tortang talong, tuyo, bagoong at marami pang iba. The funniest of all the spreads na naibento sa pandesal ay ang sinangag na kanin! Imagine pandesal pinalamanan ng friedrice? Hahahahahah!

Where else do you see people selling different goods in the street all in just a single traffic stop? Itlog ng pugo, chicharon, mineral water, salted peanuts and kasoy, cigarettes and candies, green mangoes with bagoong, roses and sampaguita, vendors would quibble and sell these goods on the street . Some kids would jump into the jeepney you are riding on and try to clean each passengers' slippers and shoes ( without really cleaning it) and end up begging for coins?

Jeepney? Only in the Philippines yan! But I understand, some years back we began exporting this Pinoy ingenuity . In Papua New Guinea we have already exported about 4,000 units with Guam, India and Vietnam as the next export target. Ang galing ano? Ang “Hari ng Lansangan” natin humaharurot na rin sa mga hi-ways ng ibang bayan! Masarap sakyan ang jeep kasi kaysa sa kalesa, pedicab, o trycicle mas matipid at marami kang pang mararanasan kakaiba kapag nakasakay ka dito. Inside the jeep you can see the many types of moods and characters of every passengers. “PARA” ang kadalasang sinasabi pag bababa na ang pasahero. Yung iba tinutuktok ang kisame ng sasakyan o di kaya sumusipol o sumisitsit. Meron din naming mas hi-tech ang dating - yung “HATAK mo HINTO ko”.Ingat lang at alerto kapag ikaw ay nakasakay dito baka pag baba mo wala na ang hikaw, kwintas o relo mo. Pero ang pinakamaganda pag nakasakay ka ng jeep lahat ay willing umabot ng pamasahe sa pasaherong nagbabayad na nasa dulo ng upuan.

At bakit tayong mga Pinoy ang hilig-hilig magdugtong ng kung anu-ano sa ating mga pangalan o sa pangalan ng mga kakilala natin? Kadalasan hayop o bagay ang ikinakabit natin sa mga ito tulad ng: Nardong Putik, Totoy Balisong, Ben Ulo,Nelson Ahas, Eddie Buwaya o Jojo Kabayo (baka mukhang mga hayop kaya ganito ang tawag sa kanila? hahahaha!) Sabagay maraming kakaibang hayop sa atin tulad ng tarsier, butanding (whale shark), tamaraw, Philippine phyton, mouse dear, monkey eating eagle at buwaya ! (oo buwaya marami tayo dito lalo na sa Manila(Zoo)!) Another one is repeating names. This is another innovation here in the Philippines, siguro sa dami ng anak nahihirapan ng mag-isip si nanay at si tatay ng ipapangalan kay baby kaya inuulit na lang , kagaya ng Jek-Jek, Ton-ton, Pong-pong, Den-den, Jem-Jem, Ten-Ten. Yung iba “ door bell” at “busina” sounding pa like Kring-Kring, Ting-Ting, Ding-Dong, Boom-Boom o Pot-pot. Ano bayan!?? Hahahahaha! Sabagay, tayong mga Pinoy mahilig gumawa ng katatawanan dahil masayahin daw tayong tao.Kaya nga sa kabila ng krisis at problema ay napakarami pa rin nating celebrations and festivities at ang pinakapatok dito ay ang Pasko at Bagong Taon. Kaya lang yung mga seryosong events kadalasan hinhaluan pa nating ng kalokohan at kasiyahan. Tulad na lang ng All Saints Day, lamay ng patay, Semana Santa, Misa de Galo at marami pang iba. Tuwing Semana Santa after ng mga pabasa, crucifixions at flagellations balik sa dating gawi ang mga namanata. Nakapwesto na sa kanto at tambayan at umiinom ng basi, tuba, gin, emperador o SMB. Me sasarap pa ba (daw)sa inuman kung may pulutan kang sisig, crispy pata, kilawing kambing, papaitan, chicarong baboy o asusenang aso? Hindi ko naman nilalahat yung iba naman ay talagang nagsisisi at nagbabago at hindi pakitang-tao. Tuwing simbang gabi naman imbes na makinig sa misa si binata itinatanan ang dalagang kasintahan. At saan ka naman nakakita ng All-Saints Day celebration at lamay ng patay na may karaoke at sugal? Speaking of sugal ano ang sinabi ng Reno at Las Vegas sa atin? Kung meron silang slot machines, poker at baccarat meron naman tayong sabong, sakla, pusoy, tong-its, jueteng, kara y krus, palmo, masiao ending at kotong!

Flores de Mayo? Wala sa iba nyan dito lang yan! More than just a show of prettiest ladies and most beautiful gowns, this one has a religious fundamentals, a medley of St. Helena and Constantine search for the Holy Cross that wholly blends devotion, spectacle and worship. Kung nakakaaliw panoorin ang magagandang babaeng sagala mas lalo na siguro yung sagala ng mga matatanda at bakla! Hahahaha!

At eto pa, where else in the world , of all the things, do all people of all walks of life have one thing in common? Sirit na? Ano pa e di cellphone! Almost everyone here owns a mobilephone. No! we seldom use it for voice talk but rather for 2 way text messaging. Kaya nga text capital of the world tayo e! Who knows baka sa mga darating na panahon meron na ring “cancer of the thumb” sa ‘Pinas dahil sa addiction natin sa texting.

The most fascinating and admirable custom of Pinoy is none other that our hospitality. Kaya nga kahit delikado sa atin at infested tayo ng iba-ibang gang at terrorista tulad ng ativan gang, budol-budol, akyat bahay gang, salisi gang, bading gang, abu sayyaf o mga spooky and grotesque creatures like multo, kapre, tikbalang, manananggal, dwende, tiktik plus mga nagrarambulang politiko sa kongreso at senado visitors keep coming back to our place. Our cordial and generous reception to our 'bisitas' is indeed one of a kind. Traveling here means more of building rapport between us and our visitors. Ang ‘Pinas kasi is just like a huge auditorium for tourists who like to watch different shows and festivities. Dinarayo ang ating Moriones at Ati-atihan ng Aklan, Sinulog ng Cebu, Pahiyas ng Quezon, Pintados ng Tacloban, Kadayawan in Davao and many to mention. Ang pagkain natin di hamak na mas masarap at malinamnam kaysa sa iba kagaya ng lechon kawali, pinakbet, la paz bachoy, laing, bulalo , sinigang at mga exotic food kagaya ng balot, isaw, adidas, one-day old, puma, betamax, etc. etc. Isa pang binabalik-balikan sa atin ay ang ating mga beaches. With our 7,107 islands and a coastline twice the length of that of the USA, the Philippines can claim to be Asian Beach Capital. Nakapunta na ba kayo sa Bora, Dakak, El Nido, Siargao, Camiguin at Pagudpud?

Klasmeyt Henry, it makes me smile to think all of these things….. hindi lang pala pandesal ang only in the Philippines, napakarami pang ibang bagay. Nakakatuwa, nakakahiya, kamangha-mangha o kahanga-hanga. Sana lang lang iwaksi na natin ang mali at hindi tama at pagyamanin at panatilihin ang mabuti at maganda.Pilitin nating maging tulad ni Manny Pacquiao, Paeng Nepomuceno, Leah Salonga, Efren Bata Reyes, Django Bustamante o ni Erwin Evangelista ng huwag mapunta sa wala ang pinaghirapan ni Rizal, Bonifacio, Mabini , Ninoy at ng iba pang bayani ng bansa. Kahit nasan man tayo, dito o sa kabilang ibayo, iwasan na lang nating dumura sa lansangan o umihi sa pader at kung saan-saan, but never forget na ipagmalaki natin - - we belong to Philippine species.

Bigla tuloy akong nagutom ng naalala ko yung Pandesal... ibang klase talaga sa pinas lang meron nyan..

This was Henry Angeles Friendster message to me last Tuesday, June 05 regarding my recent post “Pambansang Tinapay”. I am elated! It’s nice to know that my humble writings somehow can assuage the pain and solitude of home sickness of someone afar from his dwelling and family. Ginaganahan tuloy akong mag-isip at magsulat uli! (heheheheheh!) Henry was my classmate all throughout high school and now working as an Engineer in Vietnam. After two months he will be coming home again.Bro. thanks for reading my blogs and pag-uwi mo kita-kits tayo ng mga klasmeyts !

PAMBANSANG TINAPAY

Kailan ba ako huling nakatikim ng pandesal? Ang tagal na. . . I make sure to have heavy breakfast meal everyday because I often eat my lunch late due to my busy work loads. Usually rice or friedrice and ulam of course ang laging inihahain sa akin ni Kumander tuwing umaga. Kaya nawala na sa breakfast menu namin ang pandesal. One time (and that was the only time again) I bought pandesal from a nearby panaderya . . . Nagulat ako! Sus! ang liliit na pala ng pandesal ngayon! Halos malaki-laki lang ng di hamak sa mga tig-lilimang pisong baryang ibinayad ko sa tindera! Kawawa naman itong tinapay na ito! Dahil sa hirap ng buhay nating mga Pinoy pati pandesal nag-aadjust para sa atin. Although the pandesal underwent various transformations from its flavors, size and contents, still it’s a big part of Pinoy traditional breakfast. It crosses economic status, kahit sa mahirap o mayamang hapag kainan makikita natin ito. Sa mga poor at medyo limitado ang budget yung tig-mamamiso o tigdadalawang piso ( kung kaya pa ng bulsa) ang binibili nila, then they will have peanut butter, matamis na bao (latik) keso o mantikilya o kung wala ipalalaman isawsaw lang sa mainit na kape o tsokolate ayos na rin. While sa mga can afford and rich naman, they buy the more expensive one usually from bigger panaderya ( Pugon, Pan De Manila ,etc. )or bakeshops from malls. Tapos papalamanan nila ng salami, bacon, ham, jelly, kesong puti etc., etc. . . Kahit ano pa ang ipalaman natin dito at pagbalig-baligtarin man natin - - - pandesal pa rin yan. Just like rice, (our staple food) ganito ka versatile ang tinapay na pandesal kaya gustung-gusto natin ito! Sa agahan, meryenda o kahit pa sa hapunan andiyan ang pandesal sa ating hapag-kainan. It’s a part of our childhood, parenthood and Pinoy culture . Hay… pandesal . . . . ilang kumakalam na sikmura ba ang binubusog mo araw-araw? Ilang na ba ang biniyayaan mo ng hanapbuhay? Ilang mga bata naba ang pinalaki mo at palalakihin pa? Kahit ganyan ka. . . pahiran lang ng mantikilya mas masarap pa (daw) sa pizza. Kung may pambansang tinapay lang, hindi ba ikaw ang dapat, pandesal?
