as we come to the end of another year, I pray for those who have lost loved ones during the year, and for those who are wracked with pain or illness. I pray for those who have seen their energies erode, their smiles fade, and their bodies weaken with advancing years. And I pray also for those with new babies born this year, for those who have achieved new goals, and for those who have overcome an illness. God, You are our help, in joy and in sickness, in life and in death, and in every season of every year. Amen (prayersatwork.com)

MAY isang salita na dapat tandaan ngayong taon: PRESSURE. Makakaramdam ng pressure sa career, sa karelasyon, sa tinutuluyan, sa mga magulang at sa pamilya. Lahat dadaan sa stress o pagbabago, maaaring mabuti, maaaring hindi. Sa mga pagkakataong ito, maging maingat at huwag padalus-dalos, at pag-isipang maigi ang mga bagaybagay bago kumilos o magsalita. Huwag din post ng post ng mga problema mo sa FB o Twitter. Actually, bawasan mo ang FB at Twitter dahil ang mga ito ang punot dulo ng ilan mong problema. Pagpasok ng July 2014, kakalma at babalik na ang mga bagay sa normal, papasok ang sariwang hangin. Hoholdapin ka at kukunin ang cell phone pero isosoli din kasi mumurahin daw.

May 21-June 20 March 21-April 19 PATULOY ang pagdating ng hamon sa iyong buhay. Hindi magiging madali ang pagharap mo sa mga ito lalo nat atras abante ka. Pagdating naman sa relasyon, kung mayroon kang pinangangahalagahang tao, pansinin mo siya, alagaan mo, at hindi lang puro FB, Twitter at pagse-selfie ang inaatupag mo. Magkakaroon ka ng maraming bagong proyekto (ano ka, showbiz?) at madali kang makikipagtulungan sa iba para yumaman kayo pare-pareho (pero plis lang, huwag papasok ng sindikato). Huwag aaksayahin ang pera sa mga nakakatukso ngunit walang kuwentang bagay (kabilang na rito ang mga boylet!). May bahagi ng 2014 na dadaanan mo na sobrang nakaka-tense. Huwag iinom ng kape sa mga panahong iyon.

September 23-October 22 MAKULIT talaga mga Libra. Taong 2014 ay magdadala ng enerhiya, inisyatiba, at umaatikabong aksyon. Pero sa kabilang banda, magdadala rin ito ng padalus-dalos, pagmamadali at hindi pag-iingat. Resulta: away. Mag-ingat sa mga sakuna dala ng sasakyan, makinarya, at matutulis na bagay, apoy, pampasabog, etc. Sa health, bantayan ang sakit sa dugo at sa bato. Pero sa huling bahagi ng taon, makakahinga ka na ng maluwag. Basta timbangin ang lahat ng bagay bago pasukan, isubo, sabihin o bilhin. Magaling ka naman pagdating sa ganyan. Manatiling may kumpiyansa sa sarili.

MALAKI ang posibilidad na makapag-aral ka sa ibang bansa o kayay simpleng maglakbay lang bilang turista. Kaya kumuha na ng passport o kayay i-renew na ito at kumuha na ng machine readable passport. Binabalaan ang lahat ng Cancer na dapat bantayan ang mga bagay na ito sa kanilang buhay: kalabisan, overacting, maling pagaakala na maraming pera, hindi pagpansin sa peligro, pagiging vanidoso at makasarili. Posibleng mailagay ang sarili sa mga sitwasyon na wala ka nang kontrol. Lalakas din ang iyong pagkain sa katitingin sa mga food porn sa FB at Instagram kaya madadagdagan ang iyong timbang at lolobo ka nang bahagya. Magiging marupok ang mga relasyon, pero magiging mapusok naman ang mga ito kaya quits lang. Tigilan na ang pagkahumaling sa mga zombie, bampira at werewolf. Hindi totoo ang mga yan.

Habang tumatanda ka, mapapansin mo na tumatalino ka rin pala at mas seryoso ka na sa pagtingin sa buhay lalo nat hindi mo na makuha ang mga joke ng mga mas bata sa iyo. Pagdating sa pera, matutong mag-analisa, magkumpara ng presyo, at mag-additon! Magbayad ng bills on time, gumawa ng badyet at sundin ito. Kung kakayanin mo rin lang, huwag ka nang mangutang o magpautang sa 2014! At plis lang, tanggalin mo na yang braces sa bibig mo, limang taon na yan. Di na cute. At ambaho parati ng breath mo. Ang suwerteng numbers mo ay square root of 3 at pi.
MATATAGPUAN mo ang true love sa 2014 habang nakasakay ng bisikleta. Kaya kung hindi ka pa marunong mag-bike, puwes, ano pang hinihintay mo? Praktis-praktis na habang may tym! Sa mga matagal nang magkarelasyon, susulpot napapanahon para sagutin ang ganitong mga tanong: Lasing ba ako noon nang makipag-boyfriend ako sa kanya?, Isoli ko kaya siya sa nanay niya, tatanggapin pa kaya? Joke! Mahalagang buhayin ang komunikasyon sa isat isa, hindi yung lalabas kayo at magde-date tapos nakatutok lang pareho sa cell phone o tablet at hindi naguusap. Nag-date pa kayo! Pagdating sa work naman, naku, magiging magulo ito kaya huwag na lang natin pag-usapan.

May tendensiya ka kasing maging mayabang at mapaglustay, naku, di na uubra yan sa susunod na taon. Magkakaproblema ka rin sa iyong mga friends. May mga maga-unfriend sa iyo, may mga ia-unfriend ka. To think nililibre mo pa naman sila parati sa mahal na kape na yan o mahal na tea. Pag-ingatan ang mga sakit sa balat na dulot ng stress. Gumamit ng magandang moisturizer sa face. Iwasan ang sabong matatapang. Tumulong ka sa mga mahihirap at nasalanta ng kalamidad para gumaan ang loob mo paminsanminsan. Ang mga suwerteng kulay sa iyo ay black, itim at dilim.

TARTING OVER. It begins with the first step, as with every journey. And the empowering truth is that it is never too late to begin anew. With a goal in mind and driven by determination, one will certainly arrive at the desired destination.
we all have toxins, parasites, heavy metals, chemicals, preservatives/coloring, synthetic substances and antibiotics in our system. Unconsciously and unsuspectingly, these unwanted materials have been absorbed by our bodies through processed food and beverages, household cleaning products, polluted air and water. No one is spared, most especially if you live in an urban area. This also explains the sudden urge of most urbanites to get away from city living and seek refuge in nature. Definitely, a stay in the mountains, forest or seashore helps much in detoxifying and recharging the senses. Your wellness prescription: Water detoxdrink up between eight to 15 glasses of clean water daily. Breathing exercisestake long, deep breaths daily. Mornings are the perfect time to do this, especially upon waking up. Inhale five counts, hold three counts, exhale five counts. Or try the six-two-six method. The longer and slower you breathe, the better. Inhale six counts, hold two, exhale six counts. Do this at least 10 times. You will begin to feel the calming effect on your mood. Exercisethats right, we all have to work the body. Sweating is one form of detoxification. Dont forget that the largest detox organ of the body is the skin. Sweat it outbrisk walk or jog, try a weekly sauna, increase chili intake as this can raise your metabolism and your ability to sweat. Parasite and toxin cleanseconsult your family doctor for a strategic plan to detoxify the body. There is a process called chelation which rids the body of heavy metals; there are also herbal supplements to combat parasites. In complementary medicine, a device called the beam ray has programmed frequencies to zap parasites through light and sound therapy. It is painless and pleasant. NEVER/Page 8
A newer you begins with an imagethe one you have always nurtured in your head. It is this image of who and what you would like to become that keeps popping up in the screen of your mind. This is also the image where you have attached the oft-repeated words tomorrow, tomorrow. With resolve, tomorrow will become today. Newness begins with: Visualizationa clear and accurate idea and image of the new you. Passionthe energy and drive that will sustain you throughout the long haul. This is necessary because no project is ever accomplished instantly. Patienceas with every work of art, the canvas is completed over time and with meticulous brush strokes. So, dont be disappointed if you cannot see immediate results. In time, you will be pleased with the fruits of your effort. Perseverancethis neversay-die attitude will keep you going. Coupled with one-day-ata-time, you will see it through slowly but surely. There will be mornings when you might wake up feeling lazy, so you must guard against this because once you succumb, this signals failure. All the progress you made will set you back to Day One of your new regimen. So, do persevere.

MATAGAL-TAGAL na ring walang kabali-balita kay PATAFA (Philippine Amateur Track and Field Association) president Go Teng Kok. The last time we communicated, he was confined in a hospital, where he was being treated for serious skin infections in various parts of his body. Hirap na hirap ang mga doctor ni GTK na sugpuin ang mikrobyo causing the very painful infections na palipat-lipat sa kanyang katawan, and which kept him bedridden for months. Isang araw bago mag-bisperas ng bagong taon, nakatanggap ako ng tawag kay GTK. Medyo nagulat ako dahil just the night before, pinaguusapan naming siya ni swim coach Susan Papa. According to Susan,

celishuddle@yahoo.com nagkita sila ni GTK about three weeks ago and mukhang masama na raw ang lagay nito. Parang hinang-hina na siya, and he walks with a cane. Parang inatake sa puso o na-stroke, sabi ni Susan. Agad pinabulaanan ni GTK ang mga suspetsa ni Susan. Hindi daw siya inatake sa puso o na-stroke. Hinanghina lang siya dahil sa mga mikrobyong ayaw lisanin ang kanyang katawan. According to him, nag papress conference siya earlier

Pag hindi kaya ng katawan ko, magkakaroon ng election to determinekung sino ang papalit sa akin, sabi ni GTK. Sa nakaraang Southeast Asian Games sa Myanmar, si Philip Ella Juico ang tumayong OIC ng PATAFA. Nanalo ng 6 golds, 3 silvers at 4 bronzes ang mga atleta ni GTK. Hapi daw siya sa showing, dahil PATAFA ang NSA na pinakamaraming inuwing golds. Payo ko sa kanya, magpatingin na sa arbolaryo, dahil di siya mapagaling ng mga conventional doctors.
