Asbestos: A Health Hazard

Having a profession in the medical field makes me very conscious about my health and my surroundings. I can't afford to take risks in I things that I do everyday, especially while I'm at work. All kinds of diseases just seem to appear out from nowhere, so it's quite necessary to take extra precautions. Believe me, it's much too hard and too expensive to get sick nowadays.

Well, to avoid getting sick, you have to know first the things that you have to avoid. One of these things I've discovered is the material popularly known as asbestos. I suggest you stay away from it and avoid getting in contact with it as this sure is a health hazard. Asbestos leads to mesothelioma, a form of cancer that affects thousands of individuals. Once diagnosed, victims are often estimated to have less than a year to survive. However, those who are diagnosed in the early stages of the disease still have the highest rate of survival due to the assistance of medical treatments for the disease.

Another form of disease is asbestosis, a non-cancerous, chronic lung disease that is also tied to asbestos exposure.

If you or a loved one was exposed to asbestos and developed mesothelioma or asbestosis, you have legal rights or get a Mesothelioma Lawyer to help you fight financial compensation which you are entitled.

Monthly Visitors

I had it again! I hate my zit! I usually have it when my period is nearing. It could also happen during or after my red flag day. Darn it! But there's nothing I can do unless, of course, I'll go to my dermatologist and have it fixed. But I've no time to do that today, not even tomorrow or the coming days because I will be totally busy!

My skin is super sensitive. In fact, it's kind of oily in the inner part of my face and dry on the outer part. If ever I am going to use a soap, I have to make sure it suits to my type of skin. But no matter how careful I was, I can't control my zits! I guess it's hormonal because it usually appears on the week of my scheduled period. But this don't happen to me years ago!!! Oh well, I guess I need to do other means by sleeping early at night and try not to eat fatty foods. Any helpful suggestions out there?

The Men Pen

A lot of people before thought that only women can use make up. However, that notion is considered passé right now as more men saw the benefits of using cosmetics especially on important occasions. The Men Pen is a man's concealer product specifically designed to conceal specific areas like acne, moles, scars, dark circles, blemishes, or just rough spots! This is the same mens makeup product that male actors, models, and businessmen use in their everyday life. There are many uses for The Men Pen related to facial enhancement. The Men Pen can be used daily but typically is used for dress to impress occasions such as business meetings, or nightlife where your image is critical. I bet this is the reason that give them confidence.

The Men Pen comes in 17 different shades so there's a match for everyone. And if the color doesn't suit you, you can swap it until you're satisfied. When you order with them, they also assure you of a money back guarantee, alternate payment option and expedited shipping option. I suggest that you go to their site and know more about their product.

So, men out there, there's really nothing gay about covering up a zit with makeup when you go out!

New Show For Kids

Do you have kids that keep on asking a lot of questions? Kids are usually curious about their surroundings but admit it, we cannot always give them the exact answers to their questions. Great news is that a great new show will premiere on June 23 entitled, Kids FAQ. In this show, there's Mr. Example and his pal, Rodney, to answer the really crazy, tough questions from the kids.

Kids FAQ are also looking for kids ages 4-9 to ask their toughest questions. Let the kids get their mom or dad to print the permission slip, then send to them a webcam video with the question or email webcam auditions to KIDSFAQ@ME.COM.

If they pick your question and use it on the show, your kid will get a $50 gift card to Toys R Us. They will even send a gift card for the same amount to a kid in need at Saint Judes Children's Hospital. Don't you think that's pretty cool?

You can also visit their site and look for some entertaining games like Hangaroo2, Alphattack, Sandman and Club Penguin that I'm sure your kids will surely love to play. You can also see Mr. Example's blog and view some of their pictures. Check it out now!

Angels and Demons

I just finished reading this book, Angels and Demons, by Dan Brown. I actually own this book for quite sometime but I don't have the leisure to read a few months ago as I was busy at work. But just a few days ago, I started reading it, hoping that I'll finish it before May 15 (before the movie version starring Tom Hanks will be shown) and I did it - hehe.. I usually prefer to read the book first before I'm going to watch a movie.

Although the book talks about the scandal at the Vatican, in my opinion, I think this is better than The Da Vinci Code. I will not divulge in here the plot of the story for the sake of those who don't know the story yet. It is fast-paced, suspense and mind-boggling.

Certified Ethical Hacker

Computers around the world are systematically being victimized by rampant hacking. This hacking is not only widespread, but is being executed so flawlessly that the attackers compromise a system, steal everything of value and completely erase their tracks within 20 minutes.

That's why some companies hired Ethical hackers to protect their institution. The Ethical Hacker is an individual who is usually employed with the organization and who can be trusted to undertake an attempt to penetrate networks and/or computer systems using the same methods as a Hacker. The definition of Ethical hacker is just very similar to Penetration Tester. The goal of the ethical hacker is to help the organization take preemptive measures against malicious attacks by attacking the system himself; all the while staying within legal limits.

A certified ethical hacker is a professional IT certification for a computer scientist that works as a security specialist, forensic investigator, etc. to help prevent hacking or to track down perpetrators. And despite economy, salaries are on the rise for IT Security. One of the reasons of their rising pay is to also ensure the companies are stronger and undiminished. You can also go to their site to check more on their training modality. They also offer the following categories:

-Security Fundamentals
-Ethical Hacking
-Penetration Testing
-Computer Forensics

-Disaster Recovery
-Secure Programming

Summer Solstice

Summer is not over yet and we're still experiencing longer days and shorter nights. Meaning, the sun will rise early in the morning and will set very late in the evening. The downside of this will be - I got to be up early in the morning because the rays of the sun is so bright that it bothers my eyes.

Although it rained at times nowadays, still I can feel the humidity of the air. Sometimes, I need to take a shower twice a day (3x to some) because I can't stand myself being sweaty! I guess I've mentioned before that compared to rainy season, I'd rather enjoy the heat of the sun than be stuck inside the house and wait for the sun to shine again.

And I still wanna enjoy the summer heat as my family & I are still planning to go somewhere this weekend. And if ever it's pushed thru, I hope it will not be ruined by a heavy rain.

Sundays at Tiffany's

Are you often drawn to dreamland and thought of meeting somebody you knew for a long time? Or have you had an imaginary friend when you were a kid and thought that he/she could actually be real?

I've read a book recently by James Patterson entitled Sundays at Tiffany's. I've read some of his previous books like Kiss the Girls, etc, and realized he also wrote contemporary fiction stories that were entertaining.

Sundays at Tiffany's brought also some lesson of the story and how a relationship could be restored. The heroine of the story, named Jane, struggled a relationship with her rich and beautiful but controlling mother for a long time yet deep inside they both knew they loved each other.

She also fought loneliness as a child by having a handsome (almost perfect!) imaginary friend named Michael but lose him on her 9th birthday - because that's the ruling of an imaginary friend... in fact, kids will even forget them the next day.

But never in her next 23 years of existence did she forget him. Jane was still lonely at 32 and hoping for someone who will cheer her up and be on her side.

Then one day, she saw the handsome, funny and loving friend she never forgets - Michael.
