Boy George has been convicted

Boy George has been convicted of falsely imprisoning a male escort. The jury in a London court sided with Audun Carlsen, 29, who claimed that the former Culture Club frontman (real name George O'Dowd), 46, had handcuffed him and beat him with a metal chain. This musician was known from his 80's hits such as "Karma Chameleon".
Admitted to cuffing the escort, but said it was because he suspected the man of tampering with his computer. According to the U.K.'s Press Association, the singer looked grim as the verdict was delivered. The singer was released on bail until his Jan. 16 sentencing. Judge David Radford warned Boy George that he was likely to face jail time. "The fact that your bail is being continued does not imply that this will be dealt with by a non-custodial sentence," he said, CNN reports. "I don't want any false expectations created." He has a long history of drug abuse in 2006. He spent 5 days sweeping the streets of New York as his court ordered community service. I think this was the 2nd time of the musician facing the law.

Child's burden in School through their Backpacks


I am worried to my child Keisha who is now in level 3 studying in a private school who carries all her things in school through backpacks. As if she's carrying the world-her textbooks, notebooks, baon and girly stuff on her small and fragile shoulders. Everyday she caries everything even though all her different textbooks may not be use all for one day. The school did not allow preschool students to use trolley or stroller bags so as to avoid accident to other children. Backpack may be practical carryall for kids school stuff but be aware that one day it may lead to a series of health concerns for children. Improper use of backpacks can really cause stress to the bones as well as the body. It can be source of damage to a child's spine. Carrying heavy loads could lead to medical problems such as muscle fatigue, scoliosis and spondylitis. So, to ease the burden everyday for Keisha, I have pack the right amount of things inside her bag and the rest will be left in our home, things that will not be needed on that particular day. I also teach her to carry her stuff in correct and safe way. Making sure that snug are not too tight and distributing the weight evenly and stabilize the load. Remind her also to rest if she starts feeling some discomfort while carrying the bag. It is more important to teach children the proper way in carrying their backpacks to avoid hunched backs later on. Child's bone are still developing so unnecessary stress on the young bones can alter its growth.

A text from Jan

My cousin Jan text me a simple thought that reminds me or maybe it can reminds all of us that people around us needs a simple words of care to show that we love them. Sometimes when we are busy, we tend to neglect to say a mere thank you for something that they have done for us. Let me share this one for you...

"Remember to spend some time with your loved ones because they're not going to be around forever...

Remember to say I LOVE YOU even though you haven't say it for ages, and mean it...

Hold their hands and cherish the moment for someday those person won't be there again...

Give time to love, give time to speak and listen."

So, my dear readers, do it now and enjoy every moment with your loved ones. Live life to the fullest. !!!
And to my cousin Jan, here is my online expression of saying this words, I love you ne!!!Million thanks for everything.
And also for my two sis, though I am not vocal of saying this, My love for you is endless.
And for my readers, thanks for spending your time reading my blog. I may not be consistent in updating my blog, just keep on visiting.

Missing my folks

I have talk to my folks through long distance, asking them of their whereabouts and their condition since they were living alone together in our home at the province. Hearing their voices and stories from days work makes me feel lighter and secured. Their situation of living together without us, they have 3 siblings and I am the youngest, started when we studied at Davao City. At that time, the least we could visit them is for 1 day or spending more time when its school break. Now, that we are having our own family, Opps! not all of us. It's just me and my other sister who is now happily married spend longer time with them during Christmas season. The eldest sister who was still enjoying her single blessedness goes home when she can have her one or two months vacation from abroad. Sometimes, thinking of the situation that my parents have right now was also a learning experience for me. Time will come that Me and Noel can also experience the same way that my parents did. Children leaving their homes looking for their better future. Even though we are apart with each other, the love and care was still there and the most important thing is we communicate almost everyday. And thanks for the technology!.

Daily Calcium is good for the Bones

Meeting your daily calcium requirement needs to be a lifetime commitment. 1,ooo mg of calcium and 400 IU of vitamin daily if you re under 50, and 1,500 mg of calcium and 800 IU of D if you re over 50. How to achieved this? Here's how to get it? Three servings of calcium-rich foods daily provide about 900mg of calcium. Best bets: fat-free or low fat dairy products and calcium fortified orange juice. Combined with the 250mg that you typically get from other foods, you' ll meet the quota. Also, pick a calcium supplement that you like-whether it's chewable, chocolate flavored, or simply a tablet and you'll be more likely to take it regularly. And the best thing is to keep a supply in your purse, car or desk drawer for a convenient lunchtime or suppertime dose. Calcium is best absorbed in doses larger than 500mg taken at least 3 hours apart. Remember, Calcium counts and this is our bones need.
