Summer is where heat stroke attacks are frequent. Heat stroke can be fatal if not treated properly. You need to know some safety tips on how to deal with heat related illness and prevent it from coming and may ruin our summer activities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Summer is when the temperatures are very hot; we still love to do our summer activities outdoors. We can prevent heat stroke and dehydration by drinking plenty of pure water. Water replenishes our body and keep us hydrated and will keep us feeling refreshed all day. If you have activities outdoors, you sweat excessively and you need to keep your temperature down by drinking lots of water frequently during the day. Avoid drinking alcohols as they can dehydrate us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As much as possible; stay away from over exposure to the sun. Find a place that is cool and windy but you can still enjoy your outdoor activities or your family bonding. A shade of a big tree will surely help us keep a cool temperature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You need to wisely select your comfort clothes like walking shorts for jogging or just taking a walk. A comfortable shirt you can wear, and match them with a pair of your favorite sunglasses and your sneakers  or rubber shoes or even your flip flops will do great. You can also add sun visors on or your favorite cap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Always keep your body cool, take a clean and cool bath everyday before going outside. This will help you feel refreshed. Do not forget to bring along bottled water every time you take on the outdoors. If you want something refreshing, you can make a homemade fresh orange juice or lemonade for added taste. You can even drink hydrating flavored drinks available at your local grocery stores.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you notice you are feeling a bit of exhaustion because of the warm weather, try to sit and relax for a moment, and drink your cold pure water. Take a deep breathe, inhale deep and exhale for a few seconds. This will keep you relaxed a keep your cool. Try stay at places where you can see lots of greens, trees and plants around. This will help a lot.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/690511375904390946-8336457680741249134?l=marichu-wwwbalancingact.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

But today, I did not get the chance to go home and be with family, I am in the city I cannot go home yet since it is not payday. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I only get the chance to go home if it's my payday, like I pay the bills, do the grocery shopping for the kids, buy additional materials for the building our home. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right now, I am feeling a bit sad and home sick. I am missing my kids and my hubby back home. How I wish I get to be with them so often. Like I can see my kids growing everyday.

But as I see it, she does not have hair that much glossy and shiny hair. Since her birth, we have not cut her hair. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When she was still infant, she used to be bald with very very thin hair, we waited until she turned one year old but still her hair never grew fast. We used coconut milk, wiped it into her hair before she takes a bath. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that is two years old, her hair still in her shoulder length, with waves and they are thin, they are never shiny or glossy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not until last Monday, I decided to cut her hair short, get rid of the curls and waves. I asked her first if she wanted to have her hair cut short, she nodded and said yes. So I get a pair of scissors and hair brush, and immediately cut her hair short. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And she liked it. She loved her new hair. I just hope this thing works and will make her hair grow faster, more glossy and thick.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/690511375904390946-4191913320206960925?l=marichu-wwwbalancingact.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Although Pyramid is not a song that showcase a "Singer's Voice", it's nonetheless a solid (like a Pyramid) pop song with a great hook, youthful-catchy lyrics &amp; melodies, and radio-friendly. Charice did a good job interpreting Pyramid, her vocal riffs at the song's beginning and her curlicues which are uniquely hers makes this her "song". Iyaz also did his part nicely. Kudos goes to the writers Lyrica Anderson &amp; David Jassy, &amp; also the producers. I'm looking forward to her debut CD which will also include "Singer's Songs."&lt;br /&gt;Charice is indeed "The Most Talented Girl in the World"&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;by WebScribes says: Charice is strong, like a Pyramid&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Charice and Iyaz fill this amazing arrangement with excitement and passion. After so many achy breaky heart songs dominating every genre, it is wonderful to hear this powerful song about True Love! Pyramid is the 2nd single to be included on Charice's upcoming David Foster produced Album to be released in May. Charice's first single was the dramatic "Note to God" which was premiered on the Oprah show last year, and was voted the "Best Performance of the Year."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;A little Background&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Charice Pempengco, generally known as simply Charice, is a young Filipina singing sensation who made her recording debut in 2008 after becoming an international media sensation. Though of petite figure, she is blessed with a mighty soprano voice reminiscent of her idols Celine Dion and Whitney Houston. Born Charmaine Clarice Relucio Pempengco on May 10, 1992, in San Pedro, Laguna, Philippines, she made her television debut in 2006 on Little Big Star, a Pop Idol-style talent show specific to the Philippines, and finished as a finalist. The following year she appeared on the South Korean television show Star King, another Pop Idol-style talent show. While Charice fell short of first place once again, videos of her performances began circulating on YouTube, and she was invited to the United States repeatedly to appear on television variety shows such as The Ellen DeGeneres Show and Good Morning America. Above all, repeat appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show did much to raise her profile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amid the media blitz, she made her recording debut in 2008 with the eponymous mini-album Charice on Star Records. The album was comprised of six cover songs, including versions of "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" from Dreamgirls and "I Will Always Love You," the Whitney Houston vehicle from The Bodyguard. Her second album, My Inspiration (2009), was a Mother's Day-themed collection released in time for the holiday. Around the same time, Charice released her first single, "Note to God," written by Diane Warren and produced by David Foster. She was closely affiliated with Foster, who had become a mentor for the young singing sensation. She signed to Reprise for another self-titled release, this one a full-length issued in 2010 and timed to appear with another appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am very proud to be a Filipina!

My husband made his own version of fishing rod, using long nylon string (50 meter) with lots of fish hooks half foot apart. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He set his things ready to go to shore during the night, and wake up at 3AM at dawn and walk his way downhill and go with fellow fishermen. He has a small wooden boat where he used in fishing. His fellow fishermen help each other to set out their wooden boat to the water. Since they cannot carry the boat by themselves, it is too heavy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They all went to the open sea, with their homemade fishing equipments. Using a wooden paddle, they paddle their way towards the deeper ocean. Trying their luck to catch fish. They were off until 10AM.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, my husband texted me, he was so happy he caught 3 big sword fish. One weighs over 3 kilos, the other 2 weighs almost a kilo each. They have make a fish "tinola" (fish soup with horse radish leaves) and rest of the fish, fried or stewed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am also happy my husband is very skillful, he knows how to live a very simple life.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/690511375904390946-7547538204435926732?l=marichu-wwwbalancingact.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

"Hello Gat, How are you doing? I am worried you might be out of budget now for your allowance until your next payday."  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just had my dinner, I stopped by a barbeque stand on the way to my place. Got myself 4 pcs of hanged rice (puso') barbequed pork and a stick of chicken hotdog. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I knew my husband worried about the fact I left home with just Php350 in my pocket. I gave him a little money for additional materials for the house that we are starting to build. And I left myself just a little, I knew I can get a cash advance for my allowance for the rest of the week before payday. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I sent him back a message, "Don't worry Dad, I think this will do until payday. I got cash advance for my allowance, you need not worry". I told him I think I won't make it to go home this coming payday, I will save the money for my fare and add it to the budget for adding up materials for the house. I guess I just have to send you over the groceries for the kids and the money. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wish I could be with my kids, and my husband that often. But there are things that we need to sacrifice for some reason.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/690511375904390946-1863836164970087143?l=marichu-wwwbalancingact.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I was in a hurry I was almost late for work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I opened it quickly and read. I haven't noticed I was smiling upon reading the message. From my dearest husband saying "Mama, Good Morning, WE LOVE YOU SO mUCH". This makes a good start for a beautiful day. Little sweet gestures from our Loved ones makes us feel alive and comfortable. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seems like I can go all day in the office and keep my head stock in a bunch of Customer Service Works. Work, work, work, I don't mind! Cause I am so inspired for the day. Reminds me that I work for the family. I work for the people I love.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/690511375904390946-2847445132246260559?l=marichu-wwwbalancingact.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Monday at dawn, I woke up 2AM...getting myself ready for work again since I have to take a bus ride of almost 4 hours to the city where I work during the week. My toddler Syfra was still in her deep sleep. While baby Blessy (my 1year old) girl woke up the time I was out of bed. I didn't know for what reason, I was thinking maybe she just wanted her milk, usually her Papa gives her milk twice during the night. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;script name="c1a68806-58c5-11df-a175-1231390698b3" src="http://izearanks.com/itk/show/marichu-wwwbalancingact-blogspot-com" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Until I was ready to leave, still Blessy is wide awake. Her Lola (grandma) is taking charge since my husband had to accompany a walk with me downhill for 20 minutes. It is still dawn and there is no motorbike to ride on to. Her Lola tried putting her back into sleep, I was also feeling a bit sad for I had to leave. I came back to my baby's room, I found her awake, I spoke with her as if she understands every word I say. "Baby Blessy, Mama is leaving now, will have to go back to work and buy you some milk. Be good always, and be healthy" Then I kissed her goodbye. I went to my mother in law and told her I am leaving. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I do my usual routine at work, got in the office, do customer service as I am working in a Call Center as CSR. Not very easy job. Customer's claim causes me headaches everyday. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After my work is done, got into my place where I stay. It is only a small room and I only rent a BEDSPACE, more of this are in the Philippines usually in the cities where people migrate from province to look for a job. I got mine for only Php800/month. Free light and water. Very affordable. But the fact, I have to share room with 3 other girls. One is my co-league whom is a single mom. And the other 2 are friends whom are still strangers for me. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyway, I got in my place, called up my husband on his mobile phone..."Dad how are the kids?" He answered "Syfra woke up early this morning, ran to our room and tried looking for you, asked her Lola where you are and cried after knowing you already left". I feel sad about this really. I am very much longing to be with my kids all the time, but work requires my presence also. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is the mere truth that a working mom like me has to deal with, and it is hard. Although I can entrust my kids under my husband and my mother in law's care. I still have this feeling of wanting to be the one who "gets" most of the time with my kids. &lt;br /&gt;
I know mothers like me also feel the same way.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/690511375904390946-8026802873968741032?l=marichu-wwwbalancingact.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I can now start from here. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am very new to Blogging, first I found this as and end to express my thoughts, my feelings and emotions. Share with my friends, me and my family's daily life experiences. Sharing to the world our dream of starting our family and building our own home. Our experiences living away from technology. Living a very simple life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also find blogging as a way of socializing, meeting new friends in any part of the world, sharing life's experiences despite the race, the culture.
