Tips for Buying an Old Home
Friday, October 1
Are you thinking about buying your first property? Alternatively, you could be considering purchasing a second home as an investment. In either case, you could be looking at older homes. There are benefits to buying older homes. First, they’re typically going to be cheaper and more affordable. You’ll likely be able to find great prices using a mortgage quote comparison, meaning you can save money for any renovations that need to take place. This should limit the risk that comes with the investment. They might also provide character which some people love. It saves them from purchasing a home that looks like it came out of a cookie-cutter. There’s not a lot of creativity when it comes to modern homes. Some people also argue that older homes were built to a higher standard of quality. However, while there are certainly benefits, you need to be cautious when you make this type of investment. Here’s why.

Me and my husband together with my mother, have been praying. and devoting my time sa pag dayeg ug pag worship sa balay and pag rosary every day. it was because my psychologist invited me to a GGB fellowship and there it revealed to me that yes I was in a very dark place. I realized that Jesus is my only savior. I ALMOST COMMITTED SUICIDE because of my depression and I DONT WANT to go back there again. I was depressed for a week or so.Through worship songs and prayer (AUTHENTIC FORM OF PRAYER) like talking really to Jesus the holy spirit nikunsad cya nako because after months of praying and worshipping my inner child ni gawas cya ug ni forgive cya ... MY healing started with FORGIVENESS sa akong trauma. sa mga tawo nga naka cause sa akong TRAUMAas a child. Then nibaot jud sa point on the second month sa among pagcge ug worhsip prayer, niabot na sa point nga mag tan-aw ko sa akong self sa mirror i still feel that im "worldy" and i dont like what i am seeing i felt nga naka hinder ang akong wavy curly hair sa akong devotion - - so i decided to cut if off.JESUS happened to me and my life is not the same now. I AM RENEWED because of his MERCY and GRACE and His LOVE.I am so thankful for JESUS siya ra jud ang naka save nako cya ang nag hatag ug light nako sa akong darkness. HE SAVED ME.so mao to cya i will leave you with this bible verse JOHN 12:35 -3635 Then Jesus told them, “You are going to have the light just a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, before darkness overtakes you. Whoever walks in the dark does not know where they are going. 36 Believe in the light while you have the light, so that you may become children of light.” When he had finished speaking, Jesus left and hid himself from them.- Thank you to all the people who have showed their love and support ingun c Jesus "Go and Speak" im the LIVING PROOF that HE IS ALIVE. JESUS IS ALIVE AND HE WILL SAVE YOU!
Coping with trauma: ‘You are not alone; we are all in this together’
Going through deeply distressing events such as forced isolation, losing a loved one, physical and verbal abuse, natural disasters, and other extraordinary experiences shatters our sense of security. These may leave us struggling with emotions that have long-term physical and mental effects on leading to trauma.
Recovering from trauma may take a while, but Dr. Gina A. Alfonso, Founder and Clinical Director of MAGIS Creative Spaces, assured those suffering from stressful circumstances that “You are not alone. We are all in this together.”
Dr. Alfonso, a mental health clinician, who also experienced trauma herself in the past, was the resource speaker at Globe and the Department of Education (DepEd)’s TAYO! Naman! (Tulong, Alaga, Yakap at Oras para sa mga Tagapagtaguyod ng Edukasyon) webinar Episode 5: Healing from Past Hurts and Traumas.
During the webinar, Dr. Alfonso enlightened teachers and non-teaching personnel about trauma - what it is, how one responds to it, how it affects the brain, and different ways to recover from trauma.
“What happens with trauma is sometimes we think it is just stored in our brain, but it is actually absorbed in our body. It affects our nervous system. Our nervous system goes on hyper-alert. We are experiencing life like it’s not safe. Everywhere we go, we feel like there’s danger kahit wala. That’s because our nervous system was affected by the incident. Ang importante is to be really aware. Ano kaya ang dahilan. Ano kaya ang practices na pwede kong gawin para ‘yung stress ng trauma mawala? It’s really about learning more about the nervous system,” Dr. Alfonso said.

While everyone has their own traumatic experiences, she noted that these have different effects on each individual. Some people recover fast, and some do not.
“We are all experiencing distress differently. What is most critical in our healing process is self-compassion and kindness towards ourselves and others, and a lot of patience—realizing that we are not alone. We can learn from others and their journeys. And that if we take care of ourselves, we will be better equipped to care for others,” she said.
During the ensuing panel discussion facilitated by Raffy Berina from EB Magalona National High School, Dr. Alfonso mentioned that trauma could also affect one’s cognitive ability. If a student is going through trauma, educators can help by practicing a socio-emotional approach. Self-compassion, kindness, and patience towards oneself and others are crucial to recovering from trauma.
“One of the things that is important when working with people who have had traumatic incident is to hold judgment and be compassionate. Second is to let them know nandito lang ako. Sometimes we don't need to give solutions,” she said.
The speaker left the audience with the ABCD of trauma to guide them in coping with it.
A - Ask for help from somebody you trust to build a strong support system.
B - Body doesn't lie. If your body needs something, pay attention. Remember that our body and brain can heal.
C - Compassion and patience to ourselves, our loved ones, and those we are working with are key to healing.
D - Dance. Move. Engage in the arts and play. These are the best way to self-regulate, and when you’re consistent, you will see you're on your way to recovery.
E - Every micro-step we make towards healing is important and worth celebrating.

7 Tips To Increase Breast Size Without Surgery
Tuesday, March 3
Breast size is a sensitive topic for all women and can sometimes determine self-esteem. Therefore, there is a set of characteristics for those who would like to see the size of the chest increase, without resorting to surgery.
Correct your posture
Curved shoulders can promote breasts to appear smaller since they are “hidden”. Having the right posture, with a straight back, shoulders back, head high and neck high leaves the chest open and makes the breasts appear bigger, or at least more prominent.
Do specific exercises
The breast can also be enlarged with physical exercises that stimulate the muscles of that specific area of the body, such as push-ups, but also exercises for the back and shoulders, which help in maintaining a correct posture. In addition to the size, workouts can give firmness and make the breasts look more beautiful.
Wearing a good bra
Wearing the right size bras that support the breasts and don’t leave them flattened is a good strategy to make the breasts look bigger, as well as being more comfortable. It is still possible to find padded or lift models, which add more volume and firmness to the bust. The opposite, tight or thin bras, end up squeezing the breasts and making them look even smaller.
Wear tops with patterns
Tops with patterns on the chest help to create the illusion that the breasts are bigger and more beautiful simply by drawing attention to the curves that naturally exist. Scarves can also have the same effect.
Eat more milk products
The levels of hormones in the body end up influencing the size of the breasts. Some women tend to have a more swollen breast when they are close to menstruation exactly for this reason. However, foods that contain estrogen, such as cheese and yogurt, can make the breasts larger.
Massage the breasts
There is no scientific evidence, but massaging the breast can cause a slight growth of the breast as it stimulates blood circulation in the region. In addition, it helps to improve mood and posture and, as already mentioned, this last item also has an effect on breast size. It is best to use breast growth creams or oils for massaging your breast.
Use makeup to create the illusion
Using makeup in the center of the breasts can create a strong effect on the breasts. As often done with face makeup, the simple effect of light and eye shadow can create the idea that there is more volume down.
