SNORE FREE SLEEPING

Image result for Caricatures OF SNORING MAN

AS I SCAN THE PAGES OF DIFFERENT NEWSPAPERS TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING WORTHY TO WRITE IN MY BLOG, I FOUND THIS ARTICLE WRITTEN BY DR. TRANQUILINO ELICANO JR. IN HIS "WHAT'S UP DOC? COLUMN IN THE PHILIPPINE STAR.

I HOPE MY READERS AROUND THE GLOBE WILL LIKE IT AND EXPERIMENT ON IT IF THE GOOD DOCTOR TIPS IS REALLY WORKING AND I WILL TRY IT ON MYSELF BECAUSE I ALSO HEAR SOMEONE TELLS ME THAT I SNORE.

HERE ARE THE SEVEN STEPS TO SNORE FREE SLEEPING:

1. SLEEP ON YOUR SIDE - BECAUSE YOU'RE MORE LIKELY TO SNORE WHEN YOU SLEEP ON YOUR BACK.

- IT IS SUGGESTED THAT YOU SEW A TENNIS BALL INTO THE BACK OF YOUR PAJAMAS SO THAT YOU WILL ALWAYS SLEEP ON YOUR SIDE.

2. AVOID THICK PILLOWS THAT CAUSE YOUR NECK TO BEND FORWARD. THIS PINCHES, MAKING SNORING WORSE. HOWEVER IF YOU ELEVATE YOUR ENTIRE UPPER BODY WITH PILLOWS, THAT MAY HELP.

3. STOP SMOKING. SMOKING CAUSES THE TISSUES OF THE THROAT TO SWELL AND NICOTINE DISTURB SLEEP PATTERNS.

4. STAY AWAY FROM ALCOHOL, SLEEPING PILLS AND TRANQUILIZERS AT BEDTIME. THESE RELAX THE MUSCLES OF YOUR THROAT, MAKING SNORING MORE LIKELY.

5. USE SALINE SPRAY BEFORE YOU GO TO BED. YOU CAN EITHER PURCHASE A SALINE SPRAY AT THE DRUG STORE OR MAKE YOUR OWN BY MIXING A CUP OF LUKEWARM WATER, A HALF TEASPOON OF SALT AND A PINCH OF BAKING SODA. THESE SPRAYS HELP TO OPEN NASAL PASSAGES, SO YOU'RE LIKELY TO BREATHE THROUGH YOUR MOUTH AND SNORE.

6. CONSIDER USING HUMIDIFIER IN YOUR BEDROOM. LOW HUMIDITY CAN DRY OUT MUCOUS MEMBRANES INCREASING IRRITATION AND ADDING TO THE SNORING PROBLEM.

7. LOSE WEIGHT. EXTRA WEIGHT ESPECIALLY IN THE NECK AREA CAN CAUSE PRESSURE ON YOUR THROAT, COLLAPSING ALREADY NARROW PASSAGES.

CONSIDER THESE ADVISES FROM THE GOOD DOCTOR FOR A SNORE FREE SLEEPING.

STATUE OF DIVINE MERCY

THIS GIGANTIC STATUE OF THE DIVINE MERCY MEASURED 50 FEET HIGH PERHAPS THE MOST REMARKABLE MONUMENT IN MINDANAO. IT IS SITUATED IN EL SALVADOR CITY, AND IT WAS NAMED AFTER THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD, JESUS CHRIST. THE STAIRWAY IS MUCH HIGHER THAN THAT OF MRT. THOSE WHO HAVE HEALTH CONDITION ARE ADVISED TO STAY ON THE GROUND. TOURISTS AND OTHER VISITORS ARE ADVISED TO OBSERVED PROPER DECORUM SINCE THE ENTIRE PLACE IS SACRED. THOUGH I AM A REFORMED CATHOLIC, VISITING THE PLACE IS A RARE EXPERIENCE AND I WAS AMAZED TO SEE HOW PEOPLE STRIVE TO CREATE ENORMOUS STATUE LIKE THIS. PILGRIMS FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF ARCHIPELAGO FLOCKED TOGETHER TO SEE THIS WONDERFUL PLACE. I AM A STRONG BELIEVER THAT PEOPLE'S FAITH CREATED THIS PLACE. THEIR FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST WORKS WONDER FOR THEM RECEIVING POSITIVE ANSWERS TO WHAT THEY WISH FOR.

SAVE YOUR SPEECHES FOR THE BEST

THE POLITICAL ARENA IS VERY COLORFUL. WHETHER YOU ARE PARTY MATES OR YOU BELONG TO THE OPPOSING PARTIES, AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU WILL DO YOUR BEST TO OUT-DO AND OUT-WIT ONE ANOTHER FOR ONLY ONE REASON, TO ENSURE VICTORY AND REMAIN ON TOP. LOOK AT THEIR SLOGANS OR WHAT THEY ARE CLAIMING DURING POLITICAL RALLIES AND CAUCUSES. SOME CLAIM THAT THEIR ONLY VICE IS SERVICE (ANG TANGING BISYO NILA AY SERBISYO). SOME SAYS, "BAYAN ANG NO.1, KAMPEON NG PALUPA, TAGAPAGTANGGOL NG KABABAIHAN, KAMPEON NG EDUKASYON, GUSTO KO HAPPY KA, TAPANG AT MALASAKIT, LAYLAYAN NG LIPUNAN, ITULOY ANG DAANG MATUWID AND A LOT MORE. THEIR SPEECHES ARE WELL ORGANIZED AND CRAFTED. THEY WERE EVEN SUPERB IN THE DELIVERY OF THEIR MASTER PIECE. TO BE HONEST AND FAIR, THERE ARE CERTAIN TRUTH TO WHAT THEY ARE SAYING AND CLAIMING BUT MOST OF IT LACED WITH FLOWERY AND SOMETIMES EVEN POISONOUS. SELLING YOURSELF TO THE PEOPLE IS NOT AN EASY JOB. THE PEOPLE WILL KNOW HOW SINCERE YOU ARE AS PUBLIC SE...

FOR QUIET SOMETIME, THE WANDERING BLOGGER SEEMS INACTIVE IN WRITING FOR ONE REASON, NOT BECAUSE HE RUNS OUT OF IDEAS BUT MAINLY BECAUSE OF THIS STRANGE FEELING THAT I DO NOT WANT TO WRITE AT ALL. I NEED TO MOTIVATE MYSELF TO FIGHT THIS STRANGE FEELING WITHIN ME AND CONVINCE MYSELF THAT I NEED TO WRITE AGAIN. I BELIEVE MY READERS ARE VERY EAGER ANTICIPATING MY NEXT ARTICLE.. CLIMATE CHANGE IS A BY-WORD NOW AND ECO-WARRIORS WAS BORN TO RESTORE THE FAST DETERIORATING PLANET EARTH. DURING MY CHILDHOOD, MY FATHER AND I AS WELL AS THE OTHER SIBLINGS ARE ARMED WITH BOLOS CUTTING SMALL TREES, CLEARING THE WEEDS AND LATER ON BURNED THE SITE IN PREPARATION FOR PLANTING SEASON WERE CROPS LIKE PALAY AND CORN WERE PLANTED. THIS SYSTEM IS CALLED THE "KAINGIN SYSTEM" AND WERE CALLED THE "KAINGENEROS". WE WERE NEVER INFORMED DURING THAT TIME THIS SYSTEM OR PRACTICE IS ILLEGAL AND HARMFUL TO ECOLOGICAL BALANCE. NOT ONLY DESTROYING THE NATURAL HABITAT OF SMALL AN...
