Disaster
might be natural or man – made and for me the natural one is more devastating
because we don’t know when it will happen and sometimes we cannot control it. We
were given a chance to watch a movie entitled “The Impossible.” This movie is a true story of a family
who experienced the tragedy of Indian
Ocean tsunami of Boxing Day 2004. Tsunami is known as one of the deadliest
disasters a person can experience because it can cause a large tidal wave that
can lead to death. This movie was made to make people see and realize what a
disaster really looks like so that many people will be aware on what to expect
if this kind of situation will rise again.
This
movie teaches me a lot of things and one thing that I will never forget is to prepare
at all times. There is a saying that it is okay to prepare than to be sorry
which I strongly agree because nothing will lose to me if I did it, in fact I
can use it as an advantage. Preparing can give me a big help because through
this act I can easily cope with the tragedy. For example, if a member of our
family had a wound, we can easily tend it because we prepared a first aid kit.
We all known that during calamities many people are seeking help in the
hospital that sometimes the institution cannot accommodate it anymore. If we
have a first aid kit, we don’t have to worry about lining up or waiting for too
long in the hospital just to receive a medication. Preparing can be also done
through orienting our family members on where to go if there will be a time
that we will lost each other. Setting a meet up place will be a big help to us
because sometimes it is impossible to see your relatives right away when
disaster strikes because many people will scatter along the way trying to find
their loved ones too.
Of
course, I would like to appreciate how people in this movie are very helpful to
each other because even if they don’t know each one of them they are still
willing to help them. This just shows that there are people who still have a
big heart. With that move, I learned that after confirming that my family are
fine, I will now help others to the best of my abilities. I will help them through
tending their wounds too since I am in the medical field and if I can, I will
also try to help them to locate their family so that the heaviness in their
hearts will uplift upon seeing their family members.
This
movie also reflects how a family love each other because they are willing to
sacrifice theirselves just to make sure that their loved ones are safe. I will
always be grateful for those people because they are too selfless to think for
themselves just for the safety of their family and if that will happen to us, I
will never forget it and will always be embedded in my mind and heart. Overall,
upon watching this movie, I saw the importance of preparing for calamities because
I cannot bare to experience what the family in the movie had undergone because
it is too painful and very saddening. That’s why I salute their family for
being strong and brave because they were able to surpass the tragedy without
losing hope.
Online shopping
is very rampant nowadays because it is very convenient especially to those
people who are busy enough to go on shopping in a physical store. As I have
observed these online sellers also have a twist on their own and one of it is
the Subscription Box where you will choose a plan and they will curate it for
and delivery it right away to your doorsteps. I often see Subscription Box in
clothing but not in Premenstrual Syndrome or widely known as PMS of women!
That’s why I was thrilled when I found out about Happy Days Club! They are the
very first PMS subscription box here in the Philippines with a mission to bring
happiness in every women’s faces during the whole course of their period. And
oh! The boxes you might receive is not only specifically designed for your
menstruation problems but you can also receive skin care and hair beauty
products as a bonus! Indeed, the box contains all in all products that every
women desires!
Happy Days Club
are partnered with a lot of brands and some of them are The Good Pillow, Facial
Plus PH, Black Beauty, and Organic Skin Japan. With all the products I’ve
received, I must say that the money you will spent is really worth it because
their partner brands are reliable and very effective to use.
If you are
wondering what The Good Pillow is, it is a 2 – n – 1 natural aromatic compress
that you can use through hot (microwave) if you want to relief your stress,
aches, or pains and cold (freezer) if you want to alleviate your swellings,
cramps, and sprains. This pack contains natural grains, herbs, and essential
oils that will give you a heaven – like feeling whenever you use it. My mom is
the one who tried this because she had a cramps after a long day of going back
and forth for preparing for the celebration of my sister’s graduation. After a
while of using it, my mom told me that her cramps is starting to lessen and she
can now peacefully rest without enduring the pain. She also told me that she
likes it very much because it is not hassle and she doesn’t have to worry being
soak in wet.
It is actually
my first time hearing Facial Plus PH and I am so happy that they have a
complete set of anti – aging skin care regimen. Girls! You don’t have to go to
one brand to another just to complete your skin care products because in Facial
Plus they have everything you need from start to bottom, plus it is made here
in the Philippines! Although, you might see that it is not a lot compared to
others but you know, using less is more! So this set includes a soap, a toner,
and a cream. The soap serves as a cleanser to my face which is rich in placenta
protein that is known to renew the skins cells in order to revitalize and
reduce the wrinkles and fine lines present in our face. The toner is a balancer
that is formulated with Vitamin A, C, and E for skin renewal and enhancement of
skin elasticity and it also boosts the moisture and protects the skin from free
radicals. Lastly, their cream acts as a moisturizer that will surely keep your
skin smooth and hydrated and you can also make it as base to your make – up. Actually,
I am already in my second year in college and the rotations that I am having in
the hospital is really stressful that sometimes I am worrying what my face will
look like in the next morning due to lack of sleeps. But now, with their anti –
aging set that includes a cleanser, toner, and moisturizer that perfectly works
to each other, I don’t have to worry because it really saved me from having a zombie – like
face in the next morning. Everytime I use it, I can feel my face is starting to
become younger looking, smooth, soft, and well hydrated again! Thanks to them
because I will now be able to face my patients with confidence again!
Black Beauty is
not new to me because I started to hear them since when I was a little kid and
it’s famous as they are termed as “Shampoo ng Kabayo.” Actually, I am very
intrigued with this brand because of the positive feedbacks that I always hear
from my relatives and my neighbors for its effectivity in making your hair
fuller and thicker right away. I received two of their varieties and these are
Black Beauty Gold Shampoo and Black Beauty Anti – Dandruff Shampoo. Between the
two, I used the former because I have a thin and brittle hair. After using this
shampoo, I was impressed because what I heard about this brand is really true. Everytime
I comb my hair after taking a bath, there is a less hair fall than its usual that’s
why I know and I can say that my hair is becoming stronger, thicker, and fuller
than it was before. I don’t have to worry for being bald at a young age because
of this!
The last brand
that I received is the Organic Skin which is made in Japan. Organic products is
very timely nowadays because of its effectivity and it’s safe to use and this
brand guaranteed that it is 100% all natural. They have three kinds of soap and
these are the Noni Soap Aging Control Beauty, Lemon Soap Oil Controlling
Whitening, and Oatmeal Soap Acne Control Flawless. Between the three, I used the
latter because I am really prone for having an acne. Nowadays, flawless skin is
very important because even if you like it or not, people will judge you on the
way you look that’s why I am always make sure in maintaining my face to be acne
free as possible. But of course, it is hard to achieve especially if you cannot
still find the right product that is actually perfect for you. I must say, that
I already saw the perfect product for me and it is the Oatmeal Soap Acne
Control Flawless. I really love this soap because it is gentle and not too
strong in my skin. It makes my face soft and it doesn’t dry my skin. And also,
everytime a pimple shows up, it will be subside right away that I don’t need to
use a pimple patch to hide it. I’m totally enjoying this one and it will surely
be part on my everyday routine!
Overall,
I would like to thank Happy Days Club for giving me beautiful products that I
am enjoying too much and for introducing me to the brands that I haven’t known
yet. Because of them, I was able to explore more and most importantly, I was
able to properly take care of myself because of the right products that they
have sent to me.

Drinking liquors is one way to
distress ourselves despite of the heavy feeling it gives to us every morning.
Many people like to drink because it can help us to forget the reality even
just for a night. If you love drinking liquors you may want to visit Destileria
Limtuaco Museum which is located at 481 San Juan de Letran, Intramuros, Manila,
1002 Metro Manila. This place is known as
the longest-running distillery or the Oldest Distillery in the Philippines
since 1979 and they only started to welcome guests last February 2018. They are
open every Tuesday to Sunday at 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The museum has an entrance
fee of 100.00 pesos for adult and 50.00 pesos for students. They have lockers
outside where you can put your things for free. And they also have a tour guide
that will explain the things that can be found inside the museum.
Outside of the museum, first thing that you will see
is the Dapilan Machine that is used way back before to make sugarcane when the
technology is not rampant yet. The carabao is the one who is responsible to
operate the machine in order to crush the stalks in a manual way.
This is a two-story museum and upon entering inside of
the first floor you will see large barrels and machines that they used for the
production of their liquors before, authentic and processed liquors that they
did from the past decade, and different types of bottles that holds a symbolism
from the past. You will also learn how whiskies and rums were made starting
from grains to its production.
On the second floor you will know who are the founders
of Destileria Limtuaco with their personal
collection, achievements that they received both inside and outside of the
country, collection of their old advertisements that they did in the past, and
a full display of different brand portfolio that consists of distilled
spirits, whiskies, brandies, gins, rums, vodkas, tequilas, cocktails, herbal
and sweet wines, and original medicinal wines.
Destileria Limtuaco is the one who
made the famous calendar with a model wearing
a red bikini with a horse and white castle at the back of it. They came upon
this kind of advertisement because one of their founders dreamed about this and
he decided to make it into a reality.
After the tour you can have liquor tasting, if you are
in a legal age already, just pay an additional amount of 100.00 pesos. This
will include six shots – two Gaz, a mixed cocktails, and four alcohol of your
choice. And if you want some more, you can pay 100.00 pesos again for six shots
but this time the Gaz is not included anymore. In short, you can enjoy six
shots of your own choice. The liquors can be whisky, rum, beers, and others.

Part of enjoying your bike to the fullest is maintaining
a wardrobe that’s able to handle the challenges of the road ahead. So far,
you’ve made it through the summer with light, casual wear that both keeps you
cool and offers appropriate levels of protection while you’re speeding from
point A to point B, but with fall just around the corner and a great number of
beautiful drives through the red-and-gold leaves of the season impending, you
might want to consider changing up your riding gear to get the most out of the
coming months. Fortunately, finding the right street bike riding gear for women
never has to be a hassle when you have a good, reliable guide on your side.
1. Invest in a Jacket with Variety
In fall, you’ll be dealing with a great many changes
you’ll need to consider when updating your street biking wardrobe:
•
Falling temperatures
•
Increased rainfall (in most regions)
•
Beginning appearance of snow and ice
Each piece of riding equipment you wear out should be
ready and able to handle the challenges that these conditions have to offer.
Updating your jacket might just be the trickiest part of getting your riding
gear collection fall-ready. In early fall, the temperature outdoors still tends
to be hot and sticky, but by the end of this transitional season, you’re
experiencing winter temperatures, with a period of intermediate coolness
in-between. You could invest in three separate jackets, sure, but the better
option is to spend your cash on a jacket with built-in layers that’s designed
for a broad range of temperatures and weather conditions. These often include
vents that can be opened to let cool air in or closed to keep body heat where
it belongs and outer additions that keep the elements where they belong.
2. Find Protective Pants
The most important quality to find in a fall-ready pair
of riding pants is weather-resistance. No one likes getting soaked while
enjoying a ride on their bike, and in most places fall has a higher amount of
rainfall than most other seasons. Prepare for the weather – and the temperature
changes – by finding a pair of riding pants with built-in, closable vents and a
water-resistant exterior that’ll serve you well in the coming months.
3. Go for More Helmet Coverage
Getting a face full of wind while riding might be a boon
during the summer, but in the growing chill of fall, riding without a helmet
with a full visor is going to be uncomfortable at best. If you don’t have one
already, consider investing in a helmet with a visor that offers full face
coverage and offers you optimal coverage from the chilly winds that’ll soon be
upon you.
4. Get Thick, Padded Gloves
Other than your face, your hands take the brunt of the
wind while you’re on the move. Keep numb, freezing fingers at bay by adding a
thick, padded, warm set of gloves to your wardrobe during the chilly months.
Better yet, they usually cost even less than the simplest motorcycle
aftermarket parts on your list.
Make every fall trip as comfortable, dry and warm as
possible by upgrading your wardrobe. Check out options for women’s fall riding
apparel along with important aftermarket parts like Honda TRX450 OEM online to
ensure you and your bike both are prepared for the season.
