Just an Opinion

All of us have some point in our life feel at our lowest. When the world seems to go against your plans and that you are running in a loop with no progress in sight, the feeling is overwhelming. “I have done all I can but nothing seem to work”. But how do you know that it’s not working? Sometimes our judgment is bias and that we seem to focus more on the negative side. Instead of finding faults in our inadequacies, look at the accomplishments you have made. This may be as simple as finishing daily work, task at school, office or home. Making time to do your assignments at the library, for example, is already an accomplishment. You have sacrificed a good deal of effort to finish a valuable report. So don’t be too harsh on yourself, celebrate instead.


In our daily experiences, dark side and evil persist. With the constant negative news aired in the media, no one can deny this fact. Celebrity shows are even worse in depicting scenes which are deemed inappropriate for society. People watching such shows may get the negative impression that these are normal occurrences and may apply them in real life. Negative news feed, mostly non-sense and useless, are also posted in social sites which makes us more vulnerable to seeing bad news spread like wildfire. The negative impact it brings to our mental health is profound so as to cause a feeling of overwhelming fear and envy, at least in part.



To avoid ill consequences as a result of constant negative feedback entering my system, I have totally avoided watching television. I also have limited my time spent on facebook and other social networking sites. I want to live very simply. I need silence from the too many voices and messages media is bombarding us. I want to clear my mind and empty it with renewed spirit and vigor. I read great novels and books instead. I allotted more time to connect and socialize personally instead. For I want a change in my micro-self, a little change with a long-lasting impact!

Living Life One Step at a Time

Where there times when you feel like you're not accomplishing something important? As if all the things that you are doing doesn't worked out as plan. Sometimes you wish to become triplet so that you can hit three stones at the same time in different places. But you are also aware that it's just not possible and crazy as it may sound, you are secretly hoping that Science will find a way to triplicate ourselves. In a time when 24-hours is simply not enough, having a clear focus is important. Prioritizing the most significant and urgent things in life is a great skill that must be embedded in our self. Saying NO to the useless, time-consuming activities that are sometimes draining is good for yourself. When the pressure to achieve more to be the best in class, in work, in sports and in so many other areas is pressing, living one life at a time is truly a rewarding  choice. So how are we going to accomplish this. I am suggesting you to use the following strategies: 1. Pr...

Understanding Autonomic Pharmacology: A Short Essay (Part 1 of 2)

by: Archimedes O. Bayquen, RPh, MPH The autonomic nervous system (ANS) has been described many years ago as a division of the peripheral nervous system. It is subdivided into Parasympathetic (Rest and Digest, Conservative and Restorative function) and the Sympathetic (fight, flight, fright, stress response). The Enteric Nervous system is also a division of the ANS consisting of Myenteric or Auerbach plexus and submucous/Meissner’s plexus. The ANS is involuntary, automatic, unconscious response. Think of whenever you breathe and whenever your heart is beating. You don’t utilize your conscious control to initiate and sustain their function as they do their job independently without your control even when you are at sleep.Most of the organs in our body are dually innervated by both branches. Only very few are not—worth mentioning are the sympathetic cholinergic sweat glands in the skin and the blood vessels. Let us very briefly take a look at how these two systems differ. In ter...

Bakit Kailangang Lumaban?

Minsan sa ating buhay, darating tayo sa puntong hindi na natin kaya ang bigat na ating nararamdaman. Sisigaw tayo, iiyak ng taimtim, papatak ang maraming luha, magtatanong kung may nakakaunawa, at maaring mag-iisip na wakasan na ang lahat. Mahirap maging "tao", mahirap ang mga balakid at problema pero sana atin ding maisip na posible itong masolusyonan.  Galing ako sa isang mahirap na pamilya ; walang trabaho ang aking ina at ang ama ko nama'y farmer lamang. Mahirap ang aking naging buhay, hindi naging madali mawalan ng baon para makapasok sa eskwela. Hindi madaling umiyak dahil wala ka ng pamasahe or pambayad ng matrikula. Minsan kong naitanong kung bakit napakatanga ng aking mga magulang, kung bakit wala silang pera at hindi nila kayang maibigay ang aming mga pangangailangan. Nakapagtapos ako sa isang public school ng elementary at sekondarya. Sa katunayan, class salutatorian ako sa Special Science Class ng isang National High School sa amin. Kahit sa sobrang hi...
