Ayos Lang by Siakol



Ayos Lang Lyrics
Nais kong matulog ngunit di maka-tulog
Sa pag-iisip ang utak ko'y nabubugbog
Pahamak na pag-ibig to... ako'y gulong-gulo
Tumatakbo ang oras ngunit gising pa rin ako...

Nais kong mag-sound trip ngunit brown out nga pala
Bwisit na ilaw to dumagdag pa sa problema
Kung hindi lang dahil sa kanya ngayon ay masaya
Minsan lamang akong ma-in love wala pang pag-asa...

Chorus:
Ayos lang kahit pa nasasaktan ang puso ko
Kung sino pang minamahal sya pa ang ayaw sayo
Totoong problema, nginiti na lang ako
Kung sino pang minamahal siya pa ang ayaw sayo...

Nais kong mag-beer house ngunit kulang ang pera
Kaya't nagkakape na lang, dagdag pa sa kaba
Tutal wala namang dapat akong ikatakot
Dahil darating din ang araw siya'y aking malilimot

Hindi man siya nakuha sa iba ay tyatyamba
Basta't ako'y bahala na malimot lang siya...

-first lyrics-
Nais kong matulog ngunit di maka-tulog
Sa pag-iisip ang utak ko'y nabubugbog
Pahamak na pag-ibig to... ako'y gulong-gulo
Tumatakbo ang oras ngunit gising parin ako...

-chorus-
Ayos lang kahit pa nasasaktan ang puso ko
Kung sino pang minamahal sya pa ang ayaw sayo
Totoong problema, nginiti na lang ako
Kung sino pang minamahal siya pa ang ayaw sayo...

Gabay by Siakol


Gabay Lyrics
Maririnig sa'yo
Sa pag dating mo sa mundo
Ang katahimikan malayo sa gulo
Sa inusenteng mga mata
Makikita pa kita
Wala ang kamunduhan
Walang pangangamba

[Bridge]

Humawak ka lamang sa aking kamay
Ng matuklasan ang ganda nitong buhay
Iingatan kasi pababayaan
Gabay mo ako sa iyong kapaligiran

[Chorus]

Kaluskos ng dahon
Huni ng mga ibon malayo sa dilim ng kahapon
Hampas ng mga alon
Kasiyahan sa nayon
Mga batang naglalaro lang maghapon
Simoy ng hangin, sari saring tanawin
Paligid na iyong tatahakin
Pagkat walang sawa kitang aarugain
Sa paraisong pinaglalagyan natin.

Madamara sa iyo upang mahubog ng husto
Ang kabutihan sa kapwa tao
At sa mura mong isipan dapat mong malaman
Na may dyos tayo na pasalamatan...

The Biggest Weight Loss Mistakes Women Make. by Jillian Michaels



I'm the motivation coach for this year's Body by Glamour program, but I am going to go back to my roots on this post and talk diet. Here's a taste of the food advice I give my clients--and share with readers in my book Master Your Metabolism).

The top diet mistakes women make:

1. Mistake: Eating too many processed or "diet" foods. I avoid artificial sweeteners, trans fats, MSG, refined grains and nitrates in processed meats at all costs. These types of foods have chemicals in them that mess up your biochemistry, making you sick and fat. As a general rule of thumb eat real food that had a mother or came from the ground and skip all the processed garbage!

2. Mistake: Not counting calories. You have to count calories. So stop asking. It makes things so simple! Learn how many calories are in the foods you are eating (you can look up lots of common foods when you log meals in your Body by Glamour Food Journal. The BBG program even gives you a handy calorie range to hit for weight loss: 1,200 to 1,800 a day).
If you eat more whole foods and keep an eye on calories, the weight WILL come off. No excuses. Make it happen.

Could Your Mouthwash Be Doing More Harm Than Good?by Sarah Jio



Sure, you love the minty clean taste in your mouth after a swish of mouthwash, but experts warn that some mouthwashes may be making false claims about health benefits, and some may do more harm than good ...



Do you use mouthwash? You may be interested to know that the FDA has issued warnings to several mouthwash makers for making false claims about health benefits. From WebMD:

"The FDA has warned Walgreen Co., Johnson & Johnson, and CVS Corp. to stop making unproven claims that their mouth rinse products can reduce plaque above the gum line, promote gum health, and prevent gum disease. The companies claim their mouthwashes are effective in preventing gum disease, but no such benefit has been demonstrated, the FDA says..."

Adding more fuel to the controversy, many health experts are suggesting that some of the mainstream mouthwashes on the market may even be bad for your health. While the harsh tingle of a strong, alcohol-based mouthwash may appear to be good for your mouth, some experts warn that it may not only be bad for your gums, but it may also increase your risk for some cancers.

Do you use mouthwash?

P.S. The bad breath cure you don't know about. And, the things in your diet that could be causing bad breath...

Are Overachievers Impossible To Date?by Erin Meanley



Monday, 09/27/2010
3:50 PM

How does James Franco make time for his girlfriend? He’s a movie star, artist, short story writer, and a grad student currently earning about 50 academic degrees. Gawd. New York City is full of overachievers, and Franco is the poster child.
I thought that when I left NYC, I had said goodbye to all the competitive, Type A, Ivy League Wall Streeters and their ilk. But this past weekend I went out with what turned out to be a scary-busy overachiever.

He was a tall, fit, Ivy League doctor who looked good on paper. He didn't appear to be Type A. However, after we made a date, I began to have other concerns. At second glance, his online profile showed ZERO sense of humor. And, paired with two professional portraits—and no other photos—I started worrying he was a real-life Patrick Bateman from American Psycho. I imagined him sending me home, chopped up in bits. He wanted to pick me up at my house in his Porsche, but I didn’t want him to know where I live.

At a trendy Peruvian restaurant, I learned that he had just opened his own practice. He had also patented some hospital device and was self-publishing a novel. He was a total James Franco, except he took himself too seriously. He told me his ex-wife had called him an egomaniac! Who shares that?

He was one cheesy and intense individual. At one point, he actually said, “How would you describe the smell of this wine to Shakespeare, without making comparisons to any other smells?” I said, “Really? I’m off-duty. I don’t want to be creative.” He waited; his face said, What a fun little game! So I said something about a cold, gritty gravestone choked by the acidity of the surrounding dirt. I really wanted to say, “I smell a date that's about to end.”

One good thing, he told me I don’t need Botox or Restylane. Yet.

Anyway, I went home and rattled off all his achievements to my mother. She said, “If he’s so great, how come no one has scooped him up yet?” I had to laugh, but then I thought, What if people say that about me? No one’s scooping me up, either!

He asked me out again but I just said the timing wasn’t right.

Are you dating an overachiever? Does he make room in his life for you? Isn’t it funny that a perfect resume often signals an imperfect boyfriend?

Ilang libong calories at dagdag na timbang to! hahaha!

Tamang pagpili ng Ninong at Ninang!

Nakakatuwa kapag kasalan o binyagan.Ninong at Ninang, madalas kinukuha, ung "Sikat,Politicians (Sikat!) , OFW (me dolyares e!)...at the end of the day, ni isang Ninong & Ninang walang nakaalala sa Inaanak nila. WHy? E hindi mo naman kc personal na kakilala sukat kunin mo Ninong-NInang ng anak mo o sa Kasal mo! Sa dame ng inaanak nila d ka na nila matatandaan! Kapag nagbless ka magpapakilala ka pa ng buong angkan mo at ninuno bago ka makilala.Kapag minamalas ka pa, naubos na paliwanag mo d ka pa rin nakikilala! hahaha! Minsan, kaibigan nung kamag-anak , kumpare nung ganito ganyan, e bakit ba kasi hindi hayaang yung ikakasal ang mamili ng Ninong at Ninang nila na sa palagay nila e makakatulong at magiging magulang nila na maaring hingan ng payo kapag may problema. O kaya naman kukuha ng isang tambak na Ninong at Ninang para makabawi sa gastusin sa binyagan sa bonggang hotel o restaurant , Negosyo ba anak nyo? Ano yan damit na binibenta tapos may tawaran, magagalit kapag maliit ibinigay ng Ninong at Ninang, pero mostly kukunin mapepera na naman! hahahah!

Hindi lang yung kasikatan at pera ang basehan para kunin mong sponsor yung tao. Natawa ako ng minsan, tumawag ang Nanay Baby ko, kinukuhang Ninong daw ang anak ko si Noah w/c is 7years old lang that time. Una kong reaction, normal ba yang kumukuhang sponsor sa anak ko? Pakisabe nalang po Nay hindi ko pinapayagan ang anak ko maging NINONG sa edad nyang yan hanggat hindi nya nauunawaan ang ibig sabihin ng NINON o pangalawang magulang sa magiging inaanak nya. Para sa akin sagrado ang pagiging Ninong at Ninang, sabe ko sa Nanay para hindi nakakahiya sa kumukuha, kung gugustuhin nila ako na lang kamo ang kuning Ninang ng bata, dahil kalokohang malaki ang kunin mong Ninong e walang muwang sa takbo ng buhay at inosente din na katulad ng inaanak. I mean, tatayo kang pangalawang magulang, ano ang pwede mong ituro sa inaanak mo, na ikabubuti nya, kung ikaw mismo ay walang nauunawaaan sa buhay.

Nung ikinasal ako may mga Ninong at Ninang kami na hindi namin gaano kilala sadya, O maybe ako hindi ko masyado kilala, as a bride & groom normally hati ang pagpili ng Ninong at Ninang, buti nalang yung mga taga Sta. Brigida na Ninong at Ninang namin ay naging masugid na pangalawang magulang namin. Nakakahiya nga lamang minsan at hindi ko matandaan ang pangalan! (buti nalang d pa uso ang internet sa mga Ninang/Ninong!) hahaha! Meron din naman na sadyang nagprinsintang Ninong at Ninang namin, and I must say na naging karamay ko sila noong panahon na kailangan ko ng kaagapay na magulang and even until now, nandyan pa rin sila para sa anak namin bilang mga Lolo at Lola. Natural meron din namang, "meron" , na hindi ko alam kung ipagmamalaki ko o hindi, pero siguro mas mainam na hindi! Yung respeto ko nalang siguro bilang inaanak nila, kahit may kapalpakan nga daw e huwag na sa akin magmula ang pagsigaw sa publiko! May tamang paraan, tamang pagkakataon at tamang lugar para pag-usapan kung anuman ang mga bagay-bagay na dapat nilang malaman.

Binyag ng anak ko, nakakatuwang malungkot. Masaya dahil binyag nya at magiging ganap na syang kristyano, malungkot dahil magkahiwalay na ang mga magulang nya that time yet we still manage to be there for him. I like the selections of my Noah's Ninong & Ninang. Well, of course may mga special request as usual. But most of them, totoong KAIBIGAN KO, like Ninang Janai at Ninong Raffy ni Noah, mga kaklase ko pa nung grade school. Ninong Raffy nya kada uwi from Batangas hindi pwedeng hindi nya dadalawin si Noah at lalaruin gang makatulog na sa kanya sad lang at maagang sumama kay Lord ang Ninong Raffy nya. Ang Ninang Janai naman kahit lokaret daw sa labas, kapag kailangan ko ng kaibigang makikinig, nanjan lage yan matyagang makinigg at magpayo. (matino naman ang payo) Kaya love ko yan si Mareng Janai! hahaha! Pareng Darwin syempre fav Ninong ni Noah ngayon dahil sya ang nasa Del Mundo lagi, at nakikita . Ay naku, e wala na nga palang Ninong halos si Noah, at nakay Lord na lahat, ay ano ba naman yun!Kaya ang pareng Dharz nalang nga talaga ang fav, ahahhaha! Ang Ninong Darwin naman nya, kinuha kong personal na maging Ninong dahil kaibigan sya ng Kuya George ko at kilala kong mabuting tao, laking simbahan, at higit sa lahat a good provider ng pamilya nila, kaya alam ko kapag may kailangan si Noah na tatakbuhang pangalawang magulang, nanjan ang Ninong nya. I'm really thankful for that kay Pareng Dharz dahil naalalayan nya si Noah ng pangaral kahit papaano lalo na at wala kami sa tabi nya. Ninong Kirby nya nasa Cavite naman, huwag sana turuan mambabae si Noah! At ang aking Mahal na Midwife syempre si Mareng Mel, at si Kuya Toto na lagi din kinukuha si Noah sa bahay para alagaan at hanggang ngayon ang Ninang Mel nya ang tinatakbuhan kapag may sakit si Noah, lalo na noong nasa medicare na nagkasakit si Noah. Si Ate Mercy family friend namin, asawa ni Kuya Lauro, na lasenggo! hahaha! Pero wag nyo smolin si Kuya Lauro , malaki respeto nyan sa pamilya namin, at si Ate Merz na Mahal na mahal ko syempre, loyalista yan e.hahaha! At kahit katayin mo yan hindi yan babaliktad sa pamilya ko, ipagtatanggol at ipagtatanggol nya ako, ganyan ako kamahal ni Ate Merz , pag-iyak ko iyak din sya, bantay sya gang nanganak ako nasa tabi ko sya, kapag may hapon dinadalaw nya si Noah para icheck at hihilutin baka may bali. Nakakatuwa isipin, na hindi pera ang kelangan mo para kunin ang isang tao, dahil ang pera pwede mo pagtrabahuhan yan, pero ung totoong pagmamahal at pagmamalasakit hindi mo kayang bayaran ng pera yan! Karamihan naman sa Ninong ni Noah, kaibigan talaga ng pamilya namin at even Mama Gladz nya w/c is obviously Auntie nya, or ang Nanay Inday (Ate Irene) eldest sister ng Daddy Jojo nya, Ate Vanie cousin naman namin. Si Ninang Chie Villar naman parang kapamilya na din namin dahil ang Tatay naman nya ay bestfriend ng parents ko, at hanggang ngayon nanjan sila nakaalalay kay Noah at kay Nanay Baby!
Kalamangan sa resulta ng Ninong at Ninang ni Noah at sa kasal namin mas lamang naman ang maganda kesa palpak. Dahil karamihan sa Ninong at Ninang namin nanjan palagi para patuloy kaming gabayan at alalayan. Even yung hindi namin masyadong kilalang Ninong at Ninang nung una, nagulat pa ako ng burol ng Papa ko, nagsidatingan sila para damayan ako. Kaya yung Sta. Brigida parang extension ng bahay namin, 2nd home kung tawagin ko dahil nung nandun kami sa bahay ni Ate Irene, naging malapit din ako sa kanila, very friendly at matulungin din naman kc ang mga taga duon. Biruin mo ng dinugo ako, isang jeep sila sumugod sa Del Mundo sa pag-aalala saken! hahaha! Ganyan ako kamahal ng Taga Sta. Brigida, makapagpaampon kaya sa kanila? ahahha!
Kaya kayo kapag kukuha kayo ng Ninong at Ninang, make sure na kakilala nyo talaga at sigurado kayo na magiging pangalawang magulang sila sa anak ninyo. Ang dame ko na din inaanak, and to be honest nakakalungkot na hindi mo magampanan yung responsibilidad sa kanila bilang pangalawang magulang. Una malayo ako sa kanila, yung iba nawalan ng communication saken, but as much as I can yung alam kong pwede ko mareach out , I want to try to be a there for them at least once in a while. Bilang mga pangalawang magulang naman , sana magampanan din natin kahit papaano ang obligasyon sa kanila, hindi sa regalo, hindi sa pera, yung moral at pagmamahal, pagmamalasakit ang mahalaga! Hindi porket politician kelangan kunin nyo ng Ninong o Ninang, o porket nasa abroad dapat yun dahil mapera. Mas masarap yung alam mong nanjan sila dahil nagmamalasakit silang totoo at alam mong alalayan ka nila sa tamang daan.
