10 Things You Didn't Know About You
1. Your Skin Has Four Colors
All skin, without coloring, would appear creamy white. Near-surface blood vessels add a blush of red. A yellow pigment also tints the canvas. Lastly, sepia-toned melanin, created in response to ultraviolet rays, appears black in large amounts. These four hues mix in different proportions to create the skin colors of all the peoples of Earth.
2. The World Laughs with You
Just as watching someone yawn can induce the behavior in yourself, recent evidence suggests that laughter is a social cue for mimicry. Hearing a laugh actually stimulates the brain region associated with facial movements. Mimicry plays an important role in social interaction. Cues like sneezing, laughing, crying and yawning may be ways of creating strong social bonds within a group.
3. Big Brains Cause Cramped Mouths
Evolution isn't perfect. If it were, we might have wings instead of wisdom teeth. Sometimes useless features stick around in a species simply because they're not doing much harm. But wisdom teeth weren't always a cash crop for oral surgeons. Long ago, they served as a useful third set of meat-mashing molars. But as our brains grew our jawbone structure changed, leaving us with expensively overcrowded mouths.
4. Cell Hairs Move Mucus
Most cells in our bodies sport hair-like organelles called cilia that help out with a variety of functions, from digestion to hearing. In the nose, cilia help to drain mucus from the nasal cavity down to the throat. Cold weather slows down the draining process, causing a mucus backup that can leave you with snotty sleeves. Swollen nasal membranes or condensation can also cause a stuffed schnozzle.
5. Puberty Reshapes Brain Structure, Makes for Missed Curfews
We know that hormone-fueled changes in the body are necessary to encourage growth and ready the body for reproduction. But why is adolescence so emotionally unpleasant? Hormones like testosterone actually influence the development of neurons in the brain, and the changes made to brain structure have many behavioral consequences. Expect emotional awkwardness, apathy and poor decision-making skills as regions in the frontal cortex mature.
6. Thousands of Eggs Unused by Ovaries
When a woman reaches her late 40s or early 50s, the monthly menstrual cycle that controls her hormone levels and readies ova for insemination ceases. Her ovaries have been producing less and less estrogen, inciting physical and emotional changes across her body. Her underdeveloped egg follicles begin to fail to release ova as regularly as before. The average adolescent girl has 34,000 underdeveloped egg follicles, although only 350 or so mature during her life (at the rate of about one per month). The unused egg follicles then deteriorate. With no potential pregnancy on the horizon, the brain can stop managing the release of ova.
7. Much of a Meal is Food For Thought
Though it makes up only 2 percent of our total body weight, the brain demands 20 percent of the body's oxygen and calories. To keep our noggin well-stocked with resources, three major cerebral arteries are constantly pumping in oxygen. A blockage or break in one of them starves brain cells of the energy they require to function, impairing the functions controlled by that region. This is a stroke.
8. Bones Break (Down) to Balance Minerals
In addition to supporting the bag of organs and muscles that is our body, bones help regulate our calcium levels. Bones contain both phosphorus and calcium, the latter of which is needed by muscles and nerves. If the element is in short supply, certain hormones will cause bones to break downeupping calcium levels in the bodyeuntil the appropriate extracellular concentration is reached.
9. Body Position Affects Your Memory
Can't remember your anniversary, hubby? Try getting down on one knee. Memories are highly embodied in our senses. A scent or sound may evoke a distant episode from one's childhood. The connections can be obvious (a bicycle bell makes you remember your old paper route) or inscrutable. A recent study helps decipher some of this embodiment. An article in the January 2007 issue of Cognition reports that episodes from your past are remembered faster and better while in a body position similar to the pose struck during the event.
10. Your Stomach Secretes Corrosive Acid
There's one dangerous liquid no airport security can confiscate from you: It's in your gut. Your stomach cells secrete hydrochloric acid, a corrosive compound used to treat metals in the industrial world. It can pickle steel, but mucous lining the stomach wall keeps this poisonous liquid safely in the digestive system, breaking down lunch.
Emotions Run Amok in Sleep-Deprived Brains

Without sleep, the emotional centers of our brains dramatically overreact to bad experiences, research now reveals.
"When we're sleep deprived, it's really as if the brain is reverting to more primitive behavior, regressing in terms of the control humans normally have over their emotions," researcher Matthew Walker, a neuroscientist at the University of California, Berkeley, told LiveScience.
Anyone who has ever gone without a good night's sleep is aware that doing so can make a person emotionally irrational. While past studies have revealed that sleep loss can impair the immune system and brain processes such as learning and memory, there has been surprisingly little research into why sleep deprivation affects emotions, Walker said.
Walker and his colleagues had 26 healthy volunteers either get normal sleep or get sleep deprived, making them stay awake for roughly 35 hours. On the following day, the researchers scanned brain activity in volunteers using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) while they viewed 100 images. These started off as emotionally neutral, such as photos of spoons or baskets, but they became increasingly negative in tone over time—for instance, pictures of attacking sharks or vipers.
"While we predicted that the emotional centers of the brain would overreact after sleep deprivation, we didn't predict they'd overreact as much as they did," Walker said. "They became more than 60 percent more reactive to negative emotional stimuli. That's a whopping increase—the emotional parts of the brain just seem to run amok."
The researchers pinpointed this hyperactive response to a shutdown of the prefrontal lobe, a brain region that normally keeps emotions under control. This structure is relatively new in human evolution, "and so it may not yet have adapted ways to cope with certain biological extremes," Walker speculated. "Human beings are one of the few species that really deprive themselves of sleep. It's a real oddity in nature."
In modern life, people often deprive themselves of sleep "almost on a daily basis," Walker said. "Alarm bells should be ringing about that behavior—no pun intended."
Future research can focus on which components of sleep help restore emotional stability—"whether it's dreaming REM sleep or slow-wave, non-dreaming forms of sleep," Walker said.
Many psychiatric disorders, "particularly ones involving emotions, seem to be linked with abnormal sleep," he added. "Traditionally people mostly thought the psychiatric disorders were contributing to the sleep abnormalities, but of course it could be the other way around. If we can find out which parts of sleep are most key to emotional stability, we already have a good range of drugs that can push and pull at these kinds of sleep and maybe help treat certain kinds of psychiatric conditions."

Breaking up workouts may burn fat faster
YAHOO!HEALTH
Reuters
Breaking up an exercise session, by adding a rest period in between, may boost a workout's fat-burning efficiency, a team of Japanese and Danish researchers reports.
When men exercised for two 30-minute stretches, taking a 20-minute rest break in between, they burned more fat than when they exercised for a single 60-minute session, and then rested afterward, Dr. Kazushige Goto of the University of Tokyo and colleagues found.
Current recommendations on exercise for preventing or treating obesity emphasize longer exercise sessions, Goto and his team note in the Journal of Applied Physiology. But there is evidence that following one exercise session with another workout may increase fat metabolism, they add.
To investigate, the researchers had seven healthy men complete one long workout and then two shorter workouts on exercise bicycles, measuring several different indicators of fat metabolism. All exercised at 60 percent of their maximum level of exertion.
When the men performed the two shorter exercise sessions, their blood levels of free fatty acids and other substances rose during the rest period, indicating greater fat metabolism. Levels of these substances also were higher during an hour-long rest period after the two-part exercise session.
Greater fat metabolism was recorded during each of the rest periods in the two-part session than during the rest period following the single, longer workout.
The men also showed lower levels of insulin and blood glucose during the second phase of the two-part exercise session.
While the proportion of total calories burned did not differ between the two workouts, fat represented nearly 77 percent of the calories burned in the recovery period after the two-part exercise session, compared with about 56 percent of calories burned in the recovery period after the single long exercise session.
Although a single bout of prolonged exercise is often performed in response to a physician's advice to exercise more, exercising for the same amount of time but with rest periods in between may be more effective, especially for sedentary or overweight individuals, the researchers conclude.

Psalm 23
Because
The Lord is my Shepherd
My Father-figure, my guide,
I shall not want.
I shall not lack anything – for the Lord will provide all I need.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures,
He gives sweet rest and comfort in Him.
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He calms my heart with the refreshing water of His Word.
He restoreth my soul.
Where I have been broken – He healed, and heals.
Where I had lost touch with Him, He brought me back.
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness
He keeps me from sin and leads me in the way I should go,
as a father does for His son, and as a Shepherd guides His sheep.
For His name’s sake.
So that I cannot take any pride in my own righteousness, but that in all I do,
My Shepherd would receive all glory.
Yea, though I walk through the valley
The dark, lonesome valley
Of the Shadow of Death
Though death threatens my very being,
I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me.
Because my Shepherd leads, I have no reason to fear for my life.
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
As I learn discipline from my Shepherd, I am comforted and assured of His love.
Thou preparest a table before me
Always giving and delighting the sheep You care for,
In the presence of mine enemies
So that they will acknowledge the greatness and majesty of You, my Shepherd.
My cup runneth over.
You never cease to lavish your abundant grace upon me.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
On this weary path, Your kindness and gentle patience encompass me wherever I may be
All the days of my life
The good days, and the bad days
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
In the Good Shepherd’s green pastures
Forever.
Amen.
May it be.

The Poem
I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work
For bills would soon be due.
So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees.
My Christian duty was now done
My soul could rest at ease.....
All day long I had no time
To spread a word of cheer
No time to speak of Christ to friends,
They'd laugh at me I'd fear.
No time, no time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need
But at last the time, the time to die.
I went before the Lord,
I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
For in his hands God! held a book;
It was the book of life.
God looked into his book and said
"Your name I cannot find
I once was going to write it down...
But never found the time"

31. Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most).
32. Sit on your ego.
33. Talk less; listen more.
34. Slow down.
35. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe.

NEW BLOGSPOT TITLE
For the past two months I’ve been thinking of a new title for my blogspot. It’s time to change it. Let’s go back to history why at first I named it Deanne’s Got Milk because at that time when I first discovered blogspot; me and my daughter are having fun playing the game that my sister Mira sent to my daughter which is Got milk, suddenly I have found the passion in writing (totoo ba yan!) that I named it to that game and my daughter’s name. My daughter pop up a suggestion this year, she said Dad why don’t you change the name of it; Ok. After a long time of searching, “It’s All About YOU!!” was the no.1 choice; why? It’s part of the lyrics from the music “Heart of Worship” by Michael W. Smith; yesterday while we were in the mall we went to a videoke bar in SM Fairview; it has small rooms so that you and your family can have a lot of time singing (its very cheap P50 for 1hr) this song speaks to my heart. Here are the lyrics;
HEART OF WORSHIP
MICHAEL W. SMITH
When the music fadesAll is stripped awayAnd I simply comeLonging just to bringSomething that's of worthThat will bless your heart I'll bring You more than a songFor a song in itselfIs not what You have requiredYou search much deeper withinThrough the way things appearYou're looking into my heart ChorusI'm coming back to the heart of worshipAnd it's all about YouIt's all about You, JesusI'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made itWhen it's all about YouIt's all about You, Jesus King of endless worthNo one could expressHow much you deserveThough I'm weak and poorAll I have is yoursEvery single breath I'll bring you more than a songYou're looking into my heartLooking into my heart

One Year!
It’s been a year since I started here at blogspot, it all started from an inspiration and disappointment that I decided to do something for a change. I’ve tried browsing on the different articles that I have shared and might say “okey lang”. I’m not the best writer in the world but I want to learn.
Lots have change but I’m still the same guy that knows how to laugh, care and share what I know. In the middle of last year nawalan ako ng gana na mag-blog sabi ko, Im not good at it but I’m not that easy to give up, kaya biruin mo naka one year pa ako.
I’m going to write and share something at least two or three articles in a month. It depends on my schedule. If you can give me ideas and you also want to contribute then its Ok. Your welcome! Parang this is a form of outlet to the busy life that we have here in this world. Hopefully I could maintain this blogspot until I live. Siguro this time it would be a mixture of tagalog and english ang gagamitin ko dito. Happy one year to me! Naks Greeting my ownself. Good day to all and Have a Nice Holy Week!

FAMILY DAY AT TELETECH
Every year a family day is being held at our company. There are lots of food and souvenirs; they are being toured to our office which is one of the most high tech offices today. Almost 2000 employees are working here, cameras inside the office are not allowed. It’s a whole day affair but we need to attend a birthday party in the afternoon. Enjoy the pictures!

Lord Of The Rings; Book Reading
I've been thinking the past week on what to do because I'm getting bored with no new things to get done, so a few days had past just going to my daily routine. I find out that one of my colleagues is into reading books. He said that last year he had read a total of 30 books, (WOW this man is a bookworm; he needs "pampurga") well according to statistics; an average man should be reading at least 20 books a year to sharpen his memory and knowledge. How many books have I read last year 2006; i started counting 1.2.3.4.5…. what else is that all, the year had past and I did not even reach the magic 20 number for reading books. I'm more to just surfing the web, reading emails, downloading but not reading books. Okey! stop worrying and start reading a book.
What will I read and where can I get the book? A question why sometimes people dont want to read books, they cannot get the book they want. I want to read Lord of the Rings 1, 2 and 3 ; of course you would ask why that book; its true that i have already watch them in movies and i even have a copy of the dvd for each book but there are stories that are not included on the movie that you will find on the book and you will see it very interesting. I started researching the author to have at least a background on this famous man J.R.R. Tolkien who created it all. Well for me no one can surpass the beauty,suspense and the long wait for the next movie to come; I remember then when the Fellowship of the Ring was shown, we were living in
I started asking my friends if they do have the book; lo and behold they dont have. My colleague who is a bookworm ( he really needs to take combantrin ) said try downloading it on the web, he gave a website in which to download and I got the book and started reading it, it took me one week and a half to finish the three books.I have fun reading, especially the additional information that I gathered . All I can say is the word F which is for Fantastic.
I started the year with three books and 17 more to go, the more the better. Start reading a book and who knows you might even surpass the magic 20 number.

P.M. Acosta Drive
Have you heard that name or street? all of you would say; of course not; where in the hell is that; why do you want us to know it. Actually that name came from my father who is an Air Force soldier with a rank of Colonel. P.M. means Pedro Magarin the name of my father. Before he died the street in front of their office is not yet cemented, so what he did is to gather his soldiers and start cementing the road; no need for funds since they have a lot of cement material. This person is a very likeable one because he knows how to be down to earth with his soldiers; he can be approached if their is any problem (an officer na pang-masa). Its been almost five years since we visited the place. Its in Clarkfield, Pampanga Air Force City. We have stayed for almost seven years in Clark, I have a lot of memories in pampanga that i would never forget. It's in this beautiful city that my daughter was born, I've worked in this Special Economic Zone! I Love This Place! It's one of the cleanest and greenest place in the country. We went home to Tarlac last christmas of 2006 and we planned to go to Clark to do some picture and video taking on that street. Its a 1 hour drive from Tarlac, the place is fantastic since its one of the former military camp of United States. We were greeted by the soldiers since they still know my mother and we did a lot of picture taking which is attach right now. We have a lot of fun! So if you are going to visit Clarkfield try going to Air Force city its beside the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport and you will see the street named P.M. Acosta drive.
The office of my father.
My wife and brother raydon still at the driveway named after my father.
