Pregnancy
-All windows and doors should be wide open for the laboring mother’s easy delivery.

-A pregnant woman is not allowed to cut her hair, she will give birth to a bald baby.
-Pregnant women should not cry because they will suffer a difficult birth, and the baby will become sensitive and a crybaby.

General Health

-A menstruating woman should not eat sweets lest blood flow stop and cause illness or death.
-Let a dog lick your wounds, and the wounds will be healed.
-Sleeping with wet hair makes one crazy.
-Taking a bath at night will cause anemia or low blood pressure.
-Taking a bath on New Year’s Day and/or Good Friday will cause one to get sick.
-Parents who despise ugly children will bear an ugly child.
-Parents who despise or laugh at twins will have twins.

MYMP The Unreleased Acoustic Collection

noreply@blogger.com (charly pura) — Mon, 16 May 2011 08:00:00 -0700

source: myxph.com

Contrary to some false updates, the band is strongly keeping up with all five members intact and working harder than ever. To prove such is the said release of their newest song collection.

We have all been familiar to the band’s acoustic show tune and pop rock approach, and it still hasn’t failed us. In this album, they tried to improve more on the sound, making sure each version of each revived song introduces their music’s distinctiveness over the other existing renditions. Juliet Bahala, MYMP’s new vocalist, shares her soothing performance of covers of the greatest hits of the 90’s such as, THINK OF LAURA (Christopher Cross), ‘TIL THEY TAKE MY HEART AWAY (Claire Marlo), POWER OF TWO (Emily Saliers), PIANO IN THE DARK (Brenda Russell) and BABY NOW THAT I FOUND YOU (John Macleod). The said songs topped the radio charts in their time and even the Filipinos’ most frequent song entries in the karaoke, making the album a must-have. Other songs included are SUPERMAN, FOREVER BLUE, CRUSIN’ , SOMEDAY WE’LL KNOW, DON’T DREAM IT’S OVER, BUSES and TRAINS, PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE, BREAKOUT and the carrier single SWAY (Bic Runga).

Drummer John Michael Dino, singer Michael Artita, bass guitarist Sherman Tupas and lead guitarist Arnold Artita collectively known as Kaligta believe so. Saying that though they expected the worst in joining the most recent Nescafe Soundskool tilt, they hoped for the best.

Asked about their name, Artita said it’s short for “kaligtasan.” “We thought of shortening it to ‘kaligta’ so it comes across as if the last part of the word was forgotten. They say in psychology that the more you want to forget something, the more it sticks to your head. We hope it works here,” said Michael. It probably will in their case, considering their history for making it against the odds. According to lead vocalist Artita, he didn’t even know how to sing just

Epal - (Adjective)A person who goes into a situation wherein his presence is not needed or in a place he does not belong. This person may be annoying or not in that instance.
