Pain Killer or placebo effect?

ice9web@gmail.com (Aice Nice Concepts) — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 07:27:00 +0000

I was searching for painkillers on the Internet and I found one testimony that stated Biogesic or Paracetamol plus caffeine combined is very effective for headaches and body pains. And so, I tried it to believe it and it works (^_^) here are my research for biogesic + caffeine:

Biogesic or Paracetamol = For the relief of minor aches and pains such as headache, backache, menstrual cramps, muscular aches, minor arthritis pain, toothache, and pain associated with the common cold and flu; and fever reduction.
source: http://www.unilab.com.ph/consumer/products_details.asp?eee=650

Caffeine = Restoring mental alertness or wakefulness if you are experiencing fatigue or drowsiness. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant. It works by stimulating the brain.
source: http://www.drugs.com/cdi/caffeine.html

But, my officemate couldn't believe it and she said that it was placebo effect, hmmm what is placebo effect really?

"The physician's belief in the treatment and the patient's faith in the physician exert a mutually reinforcing effect; the result is a powerful remedy that is almost guaranteed to produce an improvement and sometimes a cure." -- Petr Skrabanek and James McCormick, Follies and Fallacies in Medicine, p. 13.

Now, “placebo effect” is the infinite, visible, or felt improvement in health not because to a medication treatment that has been given.

A placebo (Latin for "I shall please") is a pharmacologically inert substance (such as saline solution or a starch tablet) that produces an effect similar to what would be expected of a pharmacologically active substance (such as an antibiotic).
By extension, "fake" surgery and "fake" therapies are considered placebos.

Well as I said, tried it yourself to believe it too (^_^)

Sept 7 and Sept 21 declared non-working holidays

ice9web@gmail.com (Aice Nice Concepts) — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 01:38:00 +0000

Holidays are always a very good news for us employees (^_^) not only do we get some chance to rest we can have 30% additional pay if we do work on Holiday!

And here are news from ABS-CBN:

MANILA - President Arroyo on Friday declared September 7 and 21 as non-working holidays throughout the country.

In a press statement, Malacañang declared September 7 as a national day of mourning for the late Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) leader Bro. Eraño 'Ka Erdie' Manalo. All flags will be flown at half mast on Monday.

The President had earlier declared September 21 as a non-working holiday to commemorate Eid Al Fitr or the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting.

INC spokesman Bienvenido Santiago on Friday announced that "the interment of the late Brother Eraño G. Manalo, Executive Minister of the Church of Christ, will be held on September 7, 2009, Monday, 12:00 noon at the Tabernacle located near the Central Temple."

Santiago said the interment will be held "while awaiting the construction of the mausoleum to which his remains will be transferred."

He said the mausoleum will be built near the monument of the Ka Erdie's father, Felix Manalo, "also within the grounds of the Iglesia ni Cristo Central Complex."

The Philippine Air Lines (PAL) on Friday announced it was offering special discounted tickets for INC members abroad who will be paying their respects to Manalo. PAL Chairman Lucio Tan also paid his last respects to Manalo.

"Upon instructions of our Chairman Dr. Lucio Tan, PAL is offering special discounted ticket prices to INC members who may wish to come home. This is PAL's modest way of showing respect and camaraderie with millions of INC members worldwide who are mourning Ka Erdy's passing," PAL President Jaime J. Bautista said.

Now I'm quite confuse, in September 7, 2009 today is this a double pay or just 30% additional?
as said in the news it is really like end of Ramadhan no work and if you work double pay?
hmmm your insights are very helpful.

The Ultimate Gift

ice9web@gmail.com (Aice Nice Concepts) — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 13:10:00 +0000

I just finished reviewing the DVD movie titled "The Ultimate Gift" Based on the novel by Jim Stovall.

The DVD was a Birthday gift of Ate Sherry to Virma.

Anyway, to summarize: the moral lesson of the story is to know the value of the 12-gifts these are the gift of work, money, friends, gift of problems, family, learning, laughter, gift of dreams, giving, gratitude, the gift of a day, and the gift of love.

With an all-star cast that includes Academy Award nominee Abigail Breslin / James Garner and Brian Dennehy, this engaging, heart warming drama won the 2006 Heartland Film Festival's Crystal Heart Award and received the Dove Foundation's seal approval.

Based on Jim Stovall's best-selling novel, The Ultimate Gift sends a young man of privilege on an improbable journey. Trust fund baby Jason Stevens (Drew Fuller) loves all life's gifts, as long as they're bankable. But when his wealthy grandfather, Red Stevens (Garner), dies, Jason receives a most unusual inheritance: twelve tasks, which Red calls "gifts", to challenge Jason to grow as a man. If he succeeds, the experience will not only change Jason forever, but he will discover the real meaning of wealth.

Share the Ultimate Gift and Change the World.
click continue to see the trailer...

It's the movie worth watching. Don't miss the gifts. (^_^)

Round Trip Davao to Cebu Flight Promo

ice9web@gmail.com (Aice Nice Concepts) — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 07:22:00 +0000

Just recently I was canvasing airplane flights between Cebu Pacific and Philippines Airlines (PAL) we were quite confuse about their respective promos, Cebu Pacific says 30% off but when I clicked the said promo it will asks a promo code at the site before you can avail. Where the heck will I find that promo code?

Now in PAL they also have this promo for Davao-Cebu-Davao flights total of 2,408 round trip (^_^)

The EconoLight in PAL offers 15-kgs. max baggage and it is more cheaper (2,408 round trip Davao-Cebu-Davao) than in Cebu Pacific 30% off which offers 7-kgs. max of baggage (2,428.37 round trip Davao-Cebu-Davao)

Here are the screenshot of the purchase and breakdown in Philippines Airlines (PAL):

And if you want the most cheapest Airlines? It's Zest Air which offer 1,916 for the round trip in Davao-Cebu-Davao Cash only no credit card none refundable, no change of flight date, no upgrade. Well all these "none and no" are actually the same in PAL EconoLight conditions except that you can use credit card in PAL.

Is God Good?

ice9web@gmail.com (Aice Nice Concepts) — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 07:04:00 +0000

You can say God is Good but why am I in this situation?

When Joseph (the dreamer) was in imprison he wonders Where is God?

But Joseph was model in the imprison and he runs the prison.

We ran to problems and basically our problems is running to God. We believe God is good and that is another problem. I believe God control our situation in life and challenge our whole faith in God and concept in Him.

A person look at the bad situation in their life and say God doesn't love me and God is not good. And they will judge God in their insufficient data.

Our problem is that we can not see tomorrow and we are in this chapter "I'm miserable" and God is not good. Don't you know God has a plan and God has a purpose in your life. God is working in our life. And even now wait for the next chapter and see. He might work out.

What was Joseph secret?

He never loose faith in God. You may not understand our situation today you may go through the worse situation but God has perfect plan and you will be thankful you didn't jump out and close the book.

I'm so glad I put my trust in the Lord and my life is more blessed. My sorrow and happiness is through Jesus.

Aice first Nice Notes on Radio Ministry

ice9web@gmail.com (Aice Nice Concepts) — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 00:51:00 +0000

While I'm listening on the Calvary Chapel Radio Ministry I thought of making some few notes. Here goes...
People are drawn to Jesus to follow Him, He has the gladness, if you look to Him you would want to be more like Him. To have that kind of law to produce that kind of fruit, we have the opportunity to be like Him.

Jesus was presecuted because he healed people on sabbath day. He explained that's what my Father (God) do. He has His relationship with his Father and Reflection of the Father. Jesus explained to the high Priest "I just do what my father does. Things will go on on sabbath day. My father works therefore I work." The Jewish got angry because Jesus is not only working on sabbath day but making Himself equal to God. Continualy making himself equal to God. Jesus said "Barely I say unto you the son can't do anything except with the father"

We can't do anything without God.

Jesus was a son of Man who empty Himself and goes with God without sin that's why He can heal.

Year 2009 Expectations

ice9web@gmail.com (Aice Nice Concepts) — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 07:37:00 +0000

This year 2009 expectations hmmm... I told my blog mate I don't have any expectations... It's kinda hard for me to expect anymore when I already trained myself not because I learned from reading the Bible don't expect but to put thy trust in God so whatever may happen its God's will and not to put us too much hurt from not fulfilling our expectations.
To change the topic, since I'm joining The Big Mak Blog contest and it's a must to do the number 1 - writing about expectation for this year. . .
Well I hope for more spiritual maturity, changes for the better not just looking good, physicaly healthy but more importantly Spiritually Healthy. Let God touches my heart and mind and all those I came it contact with that we all may live peacefuly with each other... I'm working hard for it by attending Bible study in Calvary Chapel to learn more about God's word and not just by sitting/asking for miracles to happen.
So those are my expectations from my effort in studying the Bible.
Still hmmm wait... I do expect to ... (^_^)
I do hope to win win win!!!

It is like Tamagochi but more colorful, not only can you let your pet eat, play but also buy (using Gold) things for your pet like dress, shirt, shoes and even house furnitures and more...

The picture herein is my pet Maximus now named BebehGandangReyna and her neighbor Lambing, whenever you let your pet visit neighbors and friends' house you will earn 20 to 10 gold coins and 5 experience points, and if you let your pet go to the stadium to play with other pets, upon winning you will earn 30 gold coins and 20 experience points.

Now back to the picture, can you guess who is sitting in the middle?

I was amused with this mystery hmmm...

By the way, if you want to gain more experience points to make your house grow bigger, play at the stadium or challenge other pets, and visit more houses over and over again.

Join Pet Society in Facebook and know who is this mystery sitter (^_^)

There are more in Pet Society that what I have mentioned here so just try it yourself. Visit facebook.com and setup an account if you don't have any, then find my profile copy paste this URL:

Sunglasses with Portable TV

ice9web@gmail.com (Aice Nice Concepts) — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 07:17:00 +0000

Oh NICE!!! Now we can watch TV, play DVD and VCD in any positions even while walking galing noh! but these kind of gadgets is NEVER DRIVING Friendly so please don't use this while you're driving... Here is what I'm talking about...

The Vuzix’s Wrap 920AV high-tech sunglasses look like other video eyewear products. They can display video and play audio when plugged into a digital music player, portable DVD player or laptop (via S-Video port).

But the glasses also feature proprietary “quantum optics technology” that allows you to also see what’s in front of you. That way, you can keep an eye out for a friend without missing the latest episode of Dexter.

As with past Vuzix models, these twin high-resolution displays (640 x 480 pixels) also support 3-D video (sample content can be downloaded from the company’s website). An optional Bluetooth-based head-tracking sensor lets you experience virtual, augmented and mixed reality environments.
source: http://blogs.usatoday.com/technologylive/2009/01/walk-and-watch.html

Now who can ask for more?

I just realize the new technology are pampering people so much, I do hope that all these kind of gadgets are properly use and not abuse.

You can also see the smallest and lightest laptop these days click here na (^_^).
and also the amazing star wars toy: Training to become a Jedi "Will the Force be with you?"

From Avon I walked straight to Peoples Park and I was alone didn't know where's the entrance??? the first thing I saw was "EXIT" when I asked the guard he said it was on the other side! whew! walking... walking... whew!

Anyway, when I saw the "Entrance" it was a relief, then I took some pictures:

This is what you will see in the Entrance upon entering

Forms of Harassment

ice9web@gmail.com (Aice Nice Concepts) — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 10:11:00 +0000

I was wondering what are the forms of harassment, since I'm a lady maybe I can research more about sexual harassment... Here are my research so basically I copy paste some of my words here but not denying the fact where it came from...

The EEOA (Equal Employment Opportunity Act) put forth some guidelines in order to identify sexual harassment.
Under these guidelines there are two major forms of sexual harassment:

Quid Pro Quo – This Latin term literally means “something for something”. Under Quid Pro Quo, sexual harassment occurs when an employee (of any gender) must put up with sexual advances to protect or maintain their a) job b) promotion c) wage increase d) favorable performance evaluation.

Hostile Environment - Sometimes there isn’t a clear “exchange” of sexual favors for job security or promotion. That doesn’t mean that sexual harassment isn’t occurring. If a sexually demeaning and hostile work environment is created, that is also sexual harassment. Methods of creating a sexually demeaning work environment include repeated sexual comments, jokes, posters of nude women (or men), innuendo, and cat calls/shouting. Systematic sexual comments are discriminatory and create a hostile environment for workers.

The best steps to take to report sexual harassment are to tell your immediate supervisor and Human Resources (HR). In the case that the sexual harassment is perpetrated by your boss, go to their superior or straight to HR. If you are discouraged by your boss or HR to file a complaint, keep in mind that you have the right to file such a complaint and the corporation can be taken to court for refusing to address the situation.

“Prevention” is the most excellent tool to eradicate sexual harassment in the office. Employers are expected to take necessary steps in order to avoid sexual harassment from happening. Administration should evidently convey to every officemates/employees that sexual harassment will not be tolerated. They can do so by set up an effective complaint or grievance process and taking urgent and proper action when an employee complains.
Have you ever experienced sexual harassment? Did you successfully report it? Share your experiences and I hope this post has been beneficial & insightful.
