My uncle is really showing the signs of alcohol dependent now. He felt the need to drink everyday to feed his body with alcohol. It is very hard for him to stop drinking since his body got tremble every time and feeling of being unable to stop drinking when he starts one. This bothers my aunt so much, it also very hard for her to cope with this. We are suggesting her to bring him to any alcohol treatment center for rehabilitation to help her husband to get over with this so called Alcohol withdrawal syndrome.

My eight months old baby is now in the process of learning to walk. I bought her a walker so she can practice walking and to strengthen her extremities. She can now also say a word like, baba, papa, mama, and etc. and follow simple command like when we say where is the lizard? She will look up to find and when she see one, she smile. I always thanked the Lord of our baby. She gave inner joy, happiness and completes us as a couple.

At last he can now rest from twenty three years of working so hard day and night. He can now better serve and focus his time in the community as councilor.

One of the things I know about a certain country I am in now is that they consider fat people as sexy and attractive. I cannot comprehend why these people think about it. I guess they have their own style and sizes of sexy costumes. It is funny to compare about the difference of each people’s view about life.

Most of us experiences puffy eyes especially when we are tired and can’t sleep well at night. Or even after a late session of partying or just one of those stressful sleepless nights, strengthen your energy and vitality while sitting at your desk. It is great to know that we can prevent it by stimulating our lymphatic system.

To stimulate your lymphatic system do each one of the following ten times:

* Rotate your neck.

* Tilt, and hold your head up.

* Shrug your shoulders.

* Squeeze your hands into fists and do wrist circles.

These all revitalise you and the activities help prevent fluids from “pooling” under your eyes, making them look puffy.

Facts about mosquitos

Mosquitoes are dangerous when they carry with them causative agents of certain disease. It is recommended that we should clean our surroundings in order to chase them away. These are the facts about mosquitoes.
• Anopheles mosquitoes are distinguished from other mosquitoes by their ‘tail in the air’ posture.
• When mosquitoes bite humans they suck up blood. If the person they bite has malaria, parasites in this blood breed and develop in the mosquito. When the mosquito feeds on another person, parasites are injected with the mosquito’s saliva.
• Every two or 3 days throughout their life, the female mosquitoes seek blood, which is used to provide protein for development of their eggs.
• Almost all Anopheles mosquitoes usually feed at night. After feeding, mosquitoes usually rest on the walls or ceiling while they digest the blood.
• Anopheles mosquitoes usually lay their eggs in puddles (shallow water) and irrigation water, not in smelly polluted water or water-filled garbage (in which Culex and Aedes mosquitoes lay).
• The eggs hatch into larvae which float parallel to the surface. After about a week at tropical temperatures, the larvae have grown up and emerge as adult mosquitoes from the water.
