A fighter woman

Former President Corazon Aquino was a woman of faith, a fighter a source of hope and inspiration not only to her family but to entire nation as well. March 24, 2008, Aquino's family disclosed that she has colon cancer. The entire nation feel sad for her condition and I admit that I was one of them. She was the 11th and the first female President of the Philippines. How can we forget the 1986 election where both Aquino and her opponent, the incumbent and Ferdinand Marcos declared victory. The Filipino rose in protest and Marcos was forced to flee the country. She wave a pro-democracy movements around the world by leading a 1986 "people power" revolt. She's truly an icon of democracy. She's a great woman, and an inspiration to all Filipinos, God bless her!

Eyebags

Eyes has been called as the 'windows to the soul.' Do you dream to have a beautiful and tantalizing pair of eyes? Having under eye bags can really be annoying, embarrassing, and even depressing.
No matter your age or gender a busy schedule and inconsistent sleep habits will have you seeing under eye bags in no time.
Nobody looks good having eye bags, but how to get rid of them? I was surprised by the single kitchen ingredients and this is the easiest remedy and it really works! Raw potato help tighten puffy eyes. All you need is a potato and a knife or slicer.

To Make:

1. Slice 1/4 potato to fit over your eyes.
2. Cut 2 slices or, if you prefer, 5 to 10 very thin slices, several for each eye. Either method works.

To Use:

1. Spritz eye area with water.
2. Lying down, place the potato slices on your eyelids and leave in place for at least 10 minutes for best results.

Have Faith!

God is good....for beyond the darkness He gives us light, beyond our nightmares He gives us dreams, and beyond our tears He gives us comfort. So with this new day that He has provided, let us thank Him even if our plans fail and our expectations are not reached, for beyond these things is God's embrace saying...."My child, the path that I have laid for you is just beyond the corner. Take my Hand and just have FAITH......

The Glorious Sunset

It is wonderful to be young with clear sight, sharp hearing, and flexible step, pulses drumming to the protest of exhilarating health. But old age has glories that youth cannot know. It is a blessing to be in old age. Old age celebrates the harvest. Like fruit in the fall, the harvest of old age will either dry up or wither or grow mellow and sweeter as it ripens.

We cannot escape the advancing years. So don’t be ashamed to own your age. Everything abides will become old like mountains, rivers. oceans, stars. But the best things are the oldest things, things that have endured and stood the test of time. Nothing to be sad as an aging person, because life can be bright if we have one who is the light as our evening sun and that is Jesus Christ.

Endurance Athletes

Endurance training and racing requires quite a commitment from athletes ... the commitment is for time and money ... they put up with pain, they eat for the event and buy supplements that cost a bundle ... their equipment is specialized to their events (shoes, high performance clothing, bikes, skis, wet suit, heart monitor, exercise equipment, etc., etc.) Some of the athletes are in the professional ranks, but most are age-groupers. Why do the age-groupers do it?
