SA MGA OFW TRAVELERS,INGAT PO TAYO,READ TO KNOW THIS EXPERIENCE. ...

Beware as the sky’s open for travel .
If you travel by air a lot, beware of over friendly chatty seat neighbours.
The older lady comes and sits next to me inside the plane. She asked me to help her put her bag in the overhead luggage compartment. But a gentleman sitting across quickly came through. (I am not very tall and the overhead luggage compartment is something I try to avoid at all costs.
Immediately she sits down she strikes up a conversation. She was very pleasant and well spoken. So we chatted all through the flight to Dubai.
Suddenly, when the pilot announced that we were now proceeding to begin our descent into DXB, my good friend 'developed' stomach pains. Me with my good heart, I pressed the stewards button, and the stewardess came to find out what the problem was. I told her my seat mate was not feeling well.
And this lady, she suddenly began to address me as 'my daughter'. The stewardess told me that there was nothing they could do except give her some painkillers and wait until we landed. The pilot announced that we had a medical emergency on board and advised us all to stay calm. My new friend was crying and sweating like crazy. And she refused to let go of my hand... everyone assumed we knew each other.
So we landed at DXB and the same gentleman who helped put up her luggage in the overhead compartment removed her luggage. But as he removed the luggage, he advised me to distance myself from this lady and make it clear to the cabin crew that we were NOT travelling together. He was a godsend!
So indeed, the cabin crew came and asked me if we were related, I categorically told them we had met on the plane. I didn't know her at all. So we began to deplane and as I said goodbye she kept begging me to carry her handbag. I was so torn... but the gentleman looked me in the eye and emphatically shook his head. He passed me a note telling me to let the cabin crew handle her.
So I exit the aircraft and leave my 'new friend' to wait for the wheelchair and be handled by the cabin crew feeling very guilty.
As we waited for our luggage to come through, I hear this commotion. My 'new friend' was running, trying to escape the cabin crew, having gotten out of the wheelchair! She left the stewardess with her handbag and just ran towards the exit with the rest of her hand luggage! Luckily the airport police were faster than her. They got hold of her and brought her back in handcuffs.
This lady starts calling out to me.. my daughter... my daughter!.. how could you do this to me..... that's when I caught on. She was carrying drugs and she was trying to implicate me!
Luckily for me, the gentleman who had helped her with her luggage came forward and told the airport police that me and her had just met on the plane. The police took my passport and asked her to reveal my full names if it was true we were travelling together. By God's grace, I had not even told her my first name! I was still asked to follow the police to a little room where I was questioned extensively. Where did I meet her?... where did I board... where did she board. Etc... And my luggage was extensively searched and dusted for fingerprints.
They dusted all her luggage and my fingerprints were not found anywhere on her luggage or on her handbag!
I was let go with advice never ever to touch anyone's luggage either in flight or at the airport. So from that day, I don't care how much luggage you have, you will deal with it yourself. I will not even offer you a trolley to put your luggage on! Your luggage... your problem.... is my policy. And if you can't reach the overhead compartment, and I am the nearest person, please call the cabin crew because all I will do is give you a blank stare and then look away!
A lesson to glean therein for intending air travelers.

Nokia CEO ended his speech saying this “we didn’t do anything wrong, but somehow, we lost”.

During the press conference to announce NOKIA being acquired by Microsoft, Nokia CEO ended his speech saying this “we didn’t do anything wrong, but somehow, we lost”. Upon saying that, all his management team, himself included, teared sadly.

Nokia has been a respectable company. They didn’t do anything wrong in their business, however, the world changed too fast. Their opponents were too powerful.

They missed out on learning, they missed out on changing, and thus they lost the opportunity at hand to make it big. Not only did they miss the opportunity to earn big money, they lost their chance of survival.

The message of this story is, if you don’t change, you shall be removed from the competition.

It’s not wrong if you don’t want to learn new things. However, if your thoughts and mindset cannot catch up with time, you will be eliminated.

Conclusion:
1. The advantage you have yesterday, will be replaced by the trends of tomorrow. You don’t have to do anything wrong, as long as your competitors catch the wave and do it RIGHT, you can lose out and fail.

To change and improve yourself is giving yourself a second chance. To be forced by others to change, is like being discarded.
Those who refuse to learn & improve, will definitely one day become redundant & not relevant to the industry. They will learn the lesson in a hard & expensive way

BASAHIN AT ALAMIN

Ano Ang Uric Acid At Sanhi Ng Pagtaas Nito?

Ang uric acid ay isang uri ng kemikal na nabuo sa katawan na maaaring nagmula sa mga pagkaing mayayaman sa "purine" gaya ng atay, lamang-loob, pulang karne, sardines, mackerel, at iba pa.

Nagkakaroon din ng mataas na uric acid level ang isang tao kapag palainom ng alak, o kaya naman ay may kondisyon gaya ng gout/arthritis, diabetes, obesity, at problema sa bato o kidneys.

Kailangang mailabas ang uric acid sa katawan sapagkat ito ay isang waste product - kemikal na di kailangan ng katawan.

Nailalabas ang uric acid sa pamamagitan ng pag-ihi at pagdumi para maregulate ang normal na level nito na naglalaro sa pag-itan ng 2.5 - 7.5 mg/dL para sa babae at 4.0 - 8.5 mg/dL para sa lalaki.

Kapag hindi nailabas ang uric acid sa katawan, mananatili ito sa daluyan ng dugo, kaya naman kapag nagpa-uric acid blood test o urine test ka, mataas ang uric acid level mo.

Kapag ikaw ay sobra sa timbang, malamang ay mataas ang iyong uric acid level. Bawas-bawasan ang kain.

Huwag kumain masyado ng pagkaing mayaman sa purine gaya ng:

atay
lamang-loob
pulang karne
isdang mayaman sa omega 3 (sardines, tuna, mackerel)
sitaw (o kapamilya nito)
munggo
dilis
bagoong
tahong (o anumang shelled-foods)

Pwede ang lahat ng uri ng gulay maliban sa mga nabanggit. Kung kakain ng karne, huwag lagi yung mapupulang karne gaya ng baka, baboy, kabayo, kambing, at iba pa.
