"A banana a day keeps the doctor away!"

Facts:
Bananas contain three natural sugars
- sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber.

A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.

Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes.

Banana's Benefits on common illness and conditions:

Depression

According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.

PMS

Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.

Anemia

High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.

Blood Pressure

This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.

Covered with Shame

If I could only shrink myself at this very moment, I should be in vain.
If I could only let myself vanish from this improbable life, I should be gone with emptiness.
If I could only lecture this forsaken mind, I should be rummaging all thoughts.
If I could only underpin my moment of reflection, I should be absurdly tear-jerking.
If I could only kill my entity, I should be dripping in distress.

If I could do all these things in one time, I should be hailed by you.

Around the Corner i Have a Friend

Around the corner i have a friend.In this great city that has no end.
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before i know it, a year is gone.
And i never see my old friends face.

For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows i like him just as well.
As in the days when i rang his bell,
And he rang mine if we were younger then.
And now we are busy tired men,
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name,
"Tomorrow" i say "i will call on Jim".
Just to show that i'm thinking of him.
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.

Around the corner! - yet miles away,
"Here's a telegram sir " "Jim died today".
And that's what we get and deserve in the end
Around the corner a vanished friend.

The Lettermen "Live in CDO"

The Lettermen "Live in CDO"

Last January 16, 2007, The Lettermen came to Cagayan de Oro City. I actually went there to witness the concert.
Thanks to the cdokay people who gave me an opportunity to be there. Well, as part of cdokay, i was tasked to write an article about the concert and my experience of being there.
The Lettermen were very famous back in the late 1960's, i don't know how you could imagine me going there with all those oldies. But guess what, i was not the only 23-year old audience witnessing the show, there were more than many from what i have expected. Though their music does really aged like forever but it was unexpectedly beautiful. All the love songs touched my heart and flew me to the air of madness. If you were there, i'm sure you'd be feeling the same way.
There was one quote from Tony Butala, the only original member of the group, he said that "Love songs never really get out of style". And i definitely agree. That is why their music never ceases to stay behind. Their music transcends all language barriers and displays variety of musical styles that everyone can enjoy. Their ballads know no boundaries.
It touches hearts of the young and old. I guess we don't really need to judge music by its time, but by it's melody, lyrics and notes. Frankly, i did enjoy the show. It was tremendously great for a first time experience.

Mixed Emotions

Staring at the window glass: bashing my head unto it, running through it, breaking it into pieces.

Made me wonder how crazy these affects me. My melodramatic life sequence.

I made a promise to myself that in-time I will be able to cope up. Actually, I did. But, you see.. I've been so preoccupied by mini sentiments. And it's getting in between my coping-up moments.

Stopping time. My last resort. No sense.

And as i beckon on the fading shadow that mirrors my heartbeat, I sank in distress.

I apprehend.
In time, I will see the clear vision of it. To wake my solitary temperament.
