How to deal our emotions?

* We must accept our emotions. are essential for your survival mechanism. People who ignore, dismiss, repress or just ventilate their emotions are setting themselves up for physical illness. Emotions that are not not felt and released but buried within the body or in the aura can cause serious illness, including cancer and many types of chronic illnesses.

* Experience your emotions fully. Pay attention and remedy the underlying cause. Emotions are our most reliable indicators of how things are going on in our lives. Emotions help keep us on the right track by making sure that we are led by more than the mental/ intellectual faculties of thought, perception, reason, memory.”

* Keep yourself in good health. exercise, relaxation and proper diet is a great asset in dealing with your negative emotions such as depression and anxiety.

Outing

"R & R" Outing Sunday, April 19, 2009. Before the day on the said outing we are very excited to go the place called Bali-Bali, Samal Island Davao. We expected so much that the place was one the most beautiful spot here in davao but when you see the beach it needs improvement. The place was not that bad, there's a lot of nice views you will see.

The infinity pool=10 not all of my companion able to swim on the pool. The swimming pool cost P 250/person & you should wear the required official bathing suits like swim suit/ swim trunks.

We had so much fun while playing parlor games, seeing the whole place instead of just set there watching or swimming on the beach.

We just enjoy the day and enjoy the food we eat that they serve for us.

Its my most unforgettable and embarrassing outing in my life because for the first time I feel very humiliated to hear a very unkind words. Whatever it is all the group knows and heard it, its a misunderstanding between the terms and conditions with the package we avail.


TO ALL who planned for an outing please ask the terms and conditions of the place before you say ok so that you will enjoy the moment without regrets.

To protest new fines

Davao City Philippines: Jeepney drivers to protest new fines

Thousand of commuters in Davao city especially students who has scheduled final exam were stranded today as public transport operators went on strike "Jeepney drivers to protest new fines".

We public commuters ride through Jeepney or multicab on our way to school and offices. Its less expensive than riding a taxi.

Jeepney drivers will protest the increase in traffic violation fees implemented by the Land Transportation Office (LTO).

Traffic Management Center (TMC) chief Celso Gempesaw said the strike will only be citywide. Speaking on the increase of penalties imposed recently by LTO-Southern Mindanao, Gempesaw said he is not against the increase, but that it is beyond the expectation of drivers. (although I think it was overdone and the implementation was sudden. The drivers were surprised because the increases were more than 300 percent). He also said drivers should look at the measure as a challenge for them not to commit violations.

Based on the new penalty scheme, a person driving under the influence of drugs will be fined P10,000 and his driver's license possibly getting revoked. Driving under the influence of liquor gets a P5,000 fine.

The new order also imposes higher penalties for the following violations:

* Driving without license, P1,500
* Driving with an expired license, P400
* Failure to carry a license, P200
* Possessing a fake driver's license, P2,000
* Conviction of a crime using a motor vehicle, P3,000

For operating or driving an unregistered or improperly registered vehicle, a fine of P2,000 will be imposed on the driver if he uses the vehicle without the knowledge and consent of the owner. If the driver is also the owner of the vehicle, he will have to pay P4,000.
