Milky Blast!!!

Have you heard the news about the milk in China? There are thousands of children who suffer from some illness such as kidney stones, high fever, tummy ache and more. And some of them died. The doctors diagnosed these illness was caused by the milk the babies and kids are drinking every now and then. The milk was tested and it is positive of the substance called 'Melamine' which is used to make plastics. That's really terrible and I can't imagine how does this people do that?! They didn't think about their consumers health. Now it is widely spread all over the world. In fact it has reached the Philippines. BFAD tested the milks and the imported milks in China were positivie with that substance. The Philippine government banned the imported milk before it affects the health of our children. Actually all of the powders imported in China such as skimmed milk and flour etc. were banned. We should be aware of what we buy or what we use. For the moms out there beware. We should ensure the babies health.

VACATION EXTENDED TO SINGAPORE!!!

After a wonderful vacation in Palawan, Philippines I went to Singapore together with my cousin and her husband. I was really excited about it and I am a little nervous.Nervous because it's my first time to leave the country. We took the plane the night we came back from Palawan. After a couple of hours in the plane we finally arrived in Singapore! In my own opinion Singapore looks like the Philippines, but it is a lot cleaner, and the people were a lot disciplined than my own fellowmen. The weather is good and the temperature is great!

Jinx, is is true?

Is there really jinx? Or was it just in the minds of most people? Is it really misfortune, bad luck or a curse?

According to Wikipedia the word 'jinx' came from the Latin word 'iynx' which means the wryneck bird, which is used in magic and divination. The bird is used in magics because of its remarkable ability to twist its neck up to 180 degrees while hissing like a snake. These birds can be found in Africa and Eurasia.

A Jinx in popular superstition and folklore is:
* A sort of curse placed on a person that makes them prey to large numbers of minor misfortunes and other forms of bad luck;
* A person afflicted with a similar curse, who, while not directly subject to a series of misfortunes, seems to attract them to anyone in his general area.
* An object or animal that brings bad luck.
* A common slang term used when two people say the same thing at the same time (said as a game amongst the young and young hearted which suggests some kind of spooky supernatural interference).

For children Jinx is a Pokemon, Jinx is spelled as Jynx. Jynx is a humanoid Pokemon that resembles a bulky woman. Jynx wears a red gown, has white arms and puple hands. Jynx has a purple face, pink lips, saucer-like eyes and long blond hair. It seems to resemble a Nordic princess, as seen in various operas. Originally, its face was colored black, causing many to think of it as racist. Jynx is a female-only species with no male counterparts. Jynx love to dance, and while it's dancing the peolpe or Pokemons around it will dance with her. Jynx can use telepathy to transfer visions of what they've seen into a another being's mind. In battle, Jynx have the power to control ice and snow and can also use (not that greatly) physical combat.





For you, What is a jinx? Is it real?
