Mammograms
Many women are afraid of their first mammogram, but there is no need to worry. By taking a few minutes each day for a week preceding the exam and doing the following exercises, you will be totally prepared for the test and best of all, you can do these simple exercises right in and around your home.
EXERCISE ONE:Open your refrigerator door and insert one breast in door. Shut the door as hard as possible and lean on the door for good measure.Hold that position for five seconds. Repeat again in case the first time wasn't effective enough.
EXERCISE TWO:Visit your garage at 3AM when the temperature of the cement floor is just perfect. Take off all your clothes and lie comfortably on the floor with one breast wedged under the rear tire of the car. Ask a friend to slowly back the car up until your breast is sufficiently flattened and chilled. Turn over and repeat with the other breast.
EXERCISE THREE:Freeze two metal bookends overnight. Strip to the waist. Invite a stranger into the room. Press the bookends against one of your breasts.Smash the bookends together as hard as you can. Set up an appointment with the stranger to meet next year and do it again.
YOU ARE TOTALLY PREPARED! and, just a thought for all the women out there........MENtal illness, MENstrual cramps, MENtal breakdown, MENopause............ Ever notice how all of women's problems start with men?.........And when we have real trouble it's HISterectomy!!!!
Don't forget to have a mammogram!!!!!!

I first heard KT Tunstall on the 93.5 FM, the River, singing "Black Horse and a Cherry Tree. I thought at first that it was a strange title for a song. However, who am I to question the artist's choice of song titles or lyrics. Songs, like any other kind of art, most likely are always a form of self-expression. No wonder, once an artist starts to give in to what others think they should be doing and not follow their instincts loses their soul and their music. I just hope that these new batch of talented and upcoming artists wouldn't succumb to such pressures from recording companies, fashion and the general entertainment industry.
Songs included in this week's playlist are:
- Suddenly I See
- Black Horse and a Cherry Tree
- Another Place to Fall
- Other Side of the World
- Under the Weather

My music artist for this week is Regina Spektor whom I first heard on the radio when my husband and I were driving our daughter, Dominique, back to school at Smith College two weeks ago. Of course, when your daughter tells you of a new artist, you got to listen. Makes us cool parents to be in the know with the latest music and artists. This morning, while watching CBS's Sunday Morning, she was featured in the show. You can get more information about her from her website and from wikipedia
Songs included here are:
- Fidelity
- On the Radio
- Samson
I've been wanting to blog about Happy Slip Productions since I've seen her video from ituloy ang sulong's blog last November. However, since it got too hectic for me and what with the holidays also taking my attention, I really didn't have the time and the energy to do some blogging. Today, however, I just got me a message (I'm a subscriber, mind you of her site) that she has a new video out and I thought that it is high time that I blog about her.
For you who haven't had the opportunity to discover her site yet, Happy Slip Productions, Christine is a one woman wonder (I suppose) where she video blogs about her Filipino family and tries to showcase her acting talent by creating scenarios (soap operas, comedic situations, etc...) and now with the latest video, she also showed us that she can sing and play the piano too.
I think I like Christine better than that other girl blogger (#$@^&*& at 15 or something) because "lonelygirl 15" seemed creepy to me. Besides she didn't look 15 to me and then after awhile a lot of people made comments how it looked all fake. And surely enough, she finally came out of the video closet and admitted that she's an actress and her blog was created all along by professionals. I only viewed that blog once and I didn't bother going back to her so-called continuing saga of teen-age angst. The latest I've heard is that AI idol finalist, Katherine McPhee is even guesting on her video blog so it seems that they're still at it...
With Happy Slip however, you get a lot of laughs and even her boo-boos (technical stuff) on screen are taken into account so you'll know that she doesn't have any professional help at all.
Her videos were also given a review by YT Reviews(an unofficial review) and you can watch it here.
And here is the very first video that I've watched from her titled "Morning Meest". This is hilarious, I get a kick out of it everytime I watch it. Enjoy!!!

Did you know that you are like a pencil? Here's how:
1. Like a pencil, you can correct your mistakes. You can't
change the past, but you can rectify it. And though you
can't erase history, you can erase guilt and anger with
forgiveness.
2. Like a pencil, painful sharpening can serve to make you
better. Your difficult times can actually sharpen your
skills or shape you into the person you were meant to be.
3. Like a pencil, you can do great things when you allow
yourself to be held in Someone's hand.
4. Like a pencil, you can leave your mark whenever possible.
That is what you're here for -- to leave your mark. It may
be in small ways, it may be in the lives of people you have
touched or nurtured, but you must leave something good
behind whenever you can.
5. Like a pencil, it is what is on the inside that matters.
Whether it is understanding or intolerance, love or
bitterness, peace or unrest, kindness or self-centeredness,
hope or despair, courage or fear, what is on the inside
matters most.
Next time you use a pencil, pause and think about that little writing
tool. It teaches some great lessons about living.
