Eating a well balanced meal, exercising and getting enough rest and sleep- oftentimes easier said than done. Being in the medical profession I may know all these facts but when it comes to my own body I must admit I also do have a need to remind myself every now and then the following vital rules to achieve a healthy body without spending much!

Talking to the Moon



Each night, before I go to bed I look for the moon in the sky. Like a kid I would sit for awhile and stare at it wondering if I could touch it. How it would feel to be there. At times I would toy with the idea that someone is sitting up there too, looking down at me. Then I would smile and sigh and think of happy memories. The memories will always include your smiles. The world is huge but I know somehow, we all are connected, we could all always look up the moon wherever we are and believe that life on Earth will never cease....for as long as love stays in our hearts...All my previous attempts to capture the night sky were futile until this year's Easter when someone must have been watching me play with my cam and smiled for me...

Heat Stroke: How To Protect Ourselves and the Ones We Love


(Bing and Shawy Sarmiento with their two lovely daughters)

A happy healthy family is wealth beyond compare.
      Summertime! What I love about it is the endless bonding moments with the kiddos; the family gatherings and school reunions not to mention all the yummy fruits in season and all the time in the world to visit beaches and resorts. There's one thing I can't get myself to love about it though- the heat! Exerting on a hot, humid day predisposes one to heat stroke- medically defined as a body temperature higher than 40.6 °C (105.1 °F) due to exposure to environmental heat which may result in brain damage and dysfunction of other vital organs.
