Breathing therapy

A cousin forwarded this email to me and I was just thinking it might be of great help to us. I tried it once and it worked so it might work for you. Just give it a try.

The nose has a left and a right side; we use both to inhale and exhale.

Actually they are different; you would be able to feel the difference. The right side represents the sun, left side represents the moon. During a headache, try to close your right nose and use your left nose to breathe.In about 5 minutes, your headache will go.

If you feel tired, just reverse, close your left nose and breathe through your right nose. After a while, you will feel your mind is refreshed.

Right side belongs to ‘hot’, so it gets heated up easily, left side belongs to ‘cold’. Most females breathe with their left noses, so they get “cooled off” faster. Most of the guys breathe with their right noses, they get worked up.

Do you notice the moment we wake up, which side breathes faster? Left or right? If left is faster, you will feel tired. So, close your left nose and use your right nose for breathing, you will get refreshed quickly. This can be taught to kids, but it is more effective when practiced by adults.

My friend used to have bad headaches and was always visiting the doctor. There was this period when he suffered headache literally every night, unable to study.He took painkillers, did not work. He decided to try out the breathing therapy here: closed his right nose and breathed through his left nose. In less than a week, his headaches were gone! He continued the exercise for one month. This alternative natural therapy without medication is something that he has experienced.

So, why not give it a try?

Waiting for eleven

Finally, I was able to sit in front of the computer. Since I started to work in the ktichen preparing for dinner at 6PM, I wasn’t able to sit down here and work for a while. Just as I was done cooking, Ace arrived. Then we had dinner. I prepared sauted green mongo and fried fish, cucumber salad, with matching coke to complete our meal. As usual, we had full tummies*wink*. We were laughing as I cannot zip my shorts already so I have to change to garterized short pants for convenience. After dinner, I made pineapple jam. We had pines brought home by Ace last week but we cannot eat it all so I chopped it early this afternoon so I could cook it after dinner. Gosh, my beauty is so exposed in the kitchen today! I am done with the jam but Ace isn’t done playing poker in FB so I took that rare chance that  I could sit and watch TV until he finally decide to call it a day. Now he’s off to lalaland while I am waiting for 11PM for my 1-hour duty in our support group. Anyway, hafta go, it’s almost 11.

Tying the knot

A churchmate who’s also my elementary classmate, HS and College  schoolmate is getting married early next year. She once asked for my suggestion of a wedding ceremony and reception venue here in Davao when we had a chat. She’s now based in UK so she has no idea what are the nice venues here. So I named a few nice venues with affordable rate since splurging on wedding is not in her mind. She then mentioned about the wedding suppliers and photographers that I may have known and asked me of my feedback. Next time that we’ll be able to chat, I will suggest the wedding supplies site that I recently bumped into. Since she wanted a personalized wedding favors and other things for her wedding, she might find it at The Knot Shop for they offer wedding supplies that aren’t easy to find in stores. The great news is, prices are cheaper compared to others so she might save some amount if she gets some supplies at the said store. In case she’ll have some purchases on the last minute, she doesn’t have to worry because The Knot Shop offers 24-hour turnaournd time so things will arrive just in time for her wedding. Oh well, how I wish I was an internet junkie before my wedding. The Knot Shop might be of great help to me.

New baby

I’ve talked about our plan of getting a new baby (not the literal baby) in my previous posts and we scheduled it yesterday. It’s actually a gift from Ace but the giver is more excited than the receiver!*lol* After my haircut, we went to Canon dHUB to purchase the item but it’s out of stock. Bummer! All the while we thought we could get it yesterday so we are a bit disappointed. Anyhow, stocks are coming and we reserved one so we might get it tomorrow or on Friday. The people in dHUB are so accommodating so we stayed there for a while and Ace got the chance to try some DSLRs on display. Now he got another thing in mind and I am pretty sure he will work hard to have it. Let’s wait and see next year. :-)

Quiet day

We had a very quiet day yesterday. I decided not to tire myself from prepping for a celebration because we are saving for our new baby. Not that what you think.*wink*. We’re saving for an addition to our photogrphy hobby so I don’t want to spend some amount just for the celebration. Besides, I am already “old” for a birthday bash so I and Ace ended up in Grub resto/cafe along Duterte St. for a lunch date. Yay! Another bonding moment because Ace took the day off from work as he already scheduled a leave during my birthday months ago. After lunch, we hit the mall and I got my hair cut at Hair Studio. It’s my first time there and I wasn’t disappointed. The hairstylist did a great job just what I wanted for my hair. So now my hair is back to my old “school days” cut and I love it because I don’t have to spend time to fix it. It’s actually wash and wear. No photos yet because I am too busy to upload the pictures to the computer.
