MAHIRAP BUHAYIN ANG MGA PATAY http://www.chinkeetan.com/
TAN by CHINKEE
As I give seminars to many companies and organizations, there is one obvious distinction that is glaring. You can easily discern if some of the participants are interested or uninterested with your topic. Kahit na hindi masyaadong interesado ang mga iba, sinisikap ko talaga gawin ang lahat ng aking makakaya to give my best. There are opportunities na lumalabas na ang mga ugat ko sa leeg para mabigyan lang ng buhay ang mga ibang nakikinig na walang kabuhay-buhay. Kahit anong effort, bomba and power na ibigay mo. Kulang na lang magtutumbling ka para makuha ang kanilang interes at atensiyon, pero may mga ibang taong sadyang ninakawaan na ng pangarap. Lahat ng tao ay gustong magbago ang kanilang buhay, pero may mga iba, sadyang hindi na naniniwala. Ito an mga tinatawag ko na zombie, the walking dead. (Buhay na patay) Naawa ako sa mga taong na ganoon na kalagayan. Kahit punong puno sila ng potential pero, hindi na sila naniniwala. Mawala na ang lahat huwag lang ang paniniwala. “Bakit pa ako mangangarap? Eh, wala namang mangyayari. Ito na ang aking tadhana, tanggapin ko na lang ito, para di na ako mabigo.”
Isinuko na ang bandera kahit hindi pa tapos ang laban. Napakahirap talaga bumangon kung ikaw ay nanggaling sa pagkabigo. Napakasariwa pa ng sugat upang ikaw ay magsimula muli. Ok lang naman na magpahinga ng pangsamantala. Huwag ka lang mamahinga ng pang habang buhay. No matter what happened to you in the past, huwag kang aayaw at bibigay. Totoo ang kasabihan, “Habang may buhay, may pag-asa.” Mawala na ang lahat, huwag lang ang pag-asa. Dahil ito na lang pwede mag dugtong ng iyong hininga. Ito ang magbibigay sa iyo ng kapangyarihan para makagumpisa muli. Ito ang tanging apoy na magsisindi muli ng iyong nauupos na kandila. Kahit umaayaw na ang mga kasama mo. Huwag kang sasama! Maari na maraming tao ang umayaw, pero huwag mo ayawan ang iyong sarili. Refuse to be part of the losers team. Never accept failure as your destination. Huwag kang pumayag na maging zombie! Come on, fight kapatid! Hu w a g k a n g a a y a w, walang bibitiw! Just keep on moving, push ka lang ng push. Even if you are moving slowly as long as you are moving ahead, you are still ok. Do not be afraid of moving slow but be afraid of standing still. Maniwala ka! Darating ang araw, ikaw naman ang aakyat ng entablado; ikaw naman ang mapropromote; ikaw naman ang magwawagi; ikaw naman ang pangangaralan; ikaw naman ang yayaman! THINK. REFLECT. APPLY. Naniniwala ka pa ba sa iyong pangarap? Ikaw ba ay umayaw na o lumalaban pa? Never give up! No matter what happens in life.

That crazy deceptive thing called oxytocin
OXYTOCIN is a hormone released naturally by the body which plays an important role in the neuroanatomy of intimacy. Recent studies have proven oxytocin’s immense role in orgasm, social recognition and pair bonding. Oxytocin levels are notably increased around the time during stimulation of the nipple/ areola and genitals.
It’s so easy to dose oneself with oxytocin naturally. All you need to do is simply hug someone or shake their hand. The simple act of bodily contact will cause your brain to release low levels of oxytocin – both in yourself and in the person you’re touching. Now those are harmless levels. In genital stroking and fondling where high levels of oxytocin are present, it increases the desire for couples to gaze at one another and helps maintain erections resulting to orgasm. During climax itself, the brain is flooded with oxytocin – a possible explanation why some couples like to cuddle after lovemaking. That is

why I dubbed it earlier as a deceptive hormone because it can induce sexual arousal. If the person you’re reciprocating arousal is not your spouse, then you will have a moral problem. But there are other reasons. Oxytocin is so convincing that we think at the moment of coitus that we are in love with our partner. Herein lies a bit of deception. Oxytocin is a gender-biased hormone. When it is released during orgasm, it will induce “trust towards one’s partner” for women. But for men, it renders a different reaction. After getting a dose of oxytocin in his system, a man simply enjoys the reward that comes from feeling
good about sex. Then after that, he’ll forget the sexual encounter in due time. A different thing occurs for women. After making love, a woman may mistake the oxytocin release as whispering to her, “this is your perfect partner.” In reality, this is not necessarily true. For the perception you have at the moment of oxytocin release is just an illusion that you create about the person. So never rely on lovemaking as an impulsive way to give trust. For young people who are not yet psychologically and financially ready to intermingle sexually, getting a dose of oxytocin is as dangerous as receiving

AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18) - Someone might stand between you and your fun today, and the more you try to confront the resistance, the better the odds of something going wrong. Unfortunately, nothing positive will come from a likely stalemate. PISCES (February 19 – March 20) - You are a formidable opponent once you make up your mind, and you will steadfastly defend your decision today. Often, you are quick to acquiesce, but now your legendary adaptability is nowhere to be found. ARIES (March 21 – April 19) - You may be convinced that you’re right and will do nearly anything to prove your point today. Unfortunately, passion is not a viable substitute for logic. Repeating your argument in a louder voice doesn’t make your position more valid than anyone else’s. TAURUS (April 20 – May 20) - People may lose respect for you if you behave as if you’re absolutely certain that everyone else is wrong. The Moon’s return to your fixed sign encourages you to act with unwavering determination; however, you might be tempted to take your confidence too far. GEMINI (May 21 – June 21) - You may truly believe you’re being fair-minded in your interactions with others, but maintaining objectivity is trickier than you think today. Ultimately, the truth is harder to recognize when your feelings are tied up with your conclusions, making you less logical in your analysis.

drugs. Many young women will fall into the “oxytocin trust trap” and get pregnant. A few young homosexual males may get AIDS. In order not to fall into this trap, young people should avoid stimulating the release of oxytocin in the first place. A casual hug is okay. An embrace under the moonlit sky where only the two of you alone is something else. Sometimes, the simplest actions are the hardest to follow because they are the most tempting. For example, a young couple dating and drinking alcohol in a public place is harmless enough. It’s what comes next that is questionable. What if both
Daily HOROSCOPE CANCER (June 22 – July 22) - Although your confidence continues to grow, you might not feel ready to share your plans with anyone else yet. If someone attempts to make you talk now, you may respond passive-aggressively by quickly pulling into your shell. LEO (July 23 – August 22) - A sudden surge of optimism has you feeling like your old self today, but it still is wise to exercise caution when expressing your feelings. You’re aware of your own contradictions now, and you’re probably quite willing to accept them.

of you are drunk and you “consensually” flag down a cab, consensually pick a hotel as your destination and consensually sleep in the same bed together. You’re allowing alcohol to take over your mind. It paves the way for the release of oxytocin. Then you are helpless.

VIRGO (August 23 – September 22) - Your highly refined work ethic makes doing the right thing even more difficult today. You might be hypercritical of someone who seems to be wasting your time since efficiency is usually one of your top priorities. LIBRA (September 23 – October 22) - Your smooth diplomatic charm comes in handy now, especially if others are gravitating toward conflict. Your friends might be totally unaware of how close they are to a potentially harmful argument because their hearts, rather than their brains, are blindly leading them forward. SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21) - You may have to stand firm against an adversary today, but your unflappable commitment to harmonious coexistence can turn a potentially explosive situation into an emotionally healing one. However, don’t assume that you will change anyone’s mind. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21) - Your current path appears to narrow today, but this constriction doesn’t prevent you from focusing on the possibilities, rather than the limitations. You might believe that you’re being realistic in your thinking, even if someone says you have lost touch with the facts. CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19) - People might attempt to rain on your parade today, but you have enough positive vibes to overcome their negative energy. You don’t need to plan to maintain your exuberance; your enthusiasm naturally regenerates itself now, assuming you are following your bliss.

First ever BOBSON Outlet in PH opens today in Limketkai Center J
apanese denim maker BOBSON opens its first ever retail outlet in the Philippines today at the 1st Level, West Concourse, Limketkai Mall in Cagayan de Oro City. Founded by Toshiharu Ozaki in Japan’s denim capital Okayama prefecture, BOBSON brings with it 54 years of solid denim heritage that gives it the edge in creating jeans of superior craftsmanship tuned to the vagaries of today’s
fashion market. Today, the brand continues its legacy of finely-crafted jeans as it expands its market in the Philippines with its firstever BOBSON Botique in the Philippines. “BOBSON is here to redefine the jeans scene in the Philippines. The brand aims to stand for comfort, style, and quality that is rooted in superior Japanese craftsmanship. We are excited to bring these impeccably-made jeans to the market with the arrival of BOBSON from Japan,” said BOBSON brand director Chris Magnaye. Magnaye said every piece from BOBSON’s collection is made with great attention to detail and commitment to quality inherent in its Japanese heritage of fine craftsmanship as demonstrated in indigenous
Japanese crafts like ikebana and origami. Over centuries, Japanese craftsmanship has gained worldwide recognition for its superior and premium finishing. The new BOBSON is no different — the fine quality of our apparels is a true testament to the authentic, Japanese construction methods of the original Okayamabased company founded in 1969. With a unique left-hand twill weaving technique, BOBSON jeans are noticeably more comfortable and durable. “We give denim lovers art pieces that make them look effortlessly
fashionable,” Magnaye said. “BOBSON goes beyond face value, because a feel of the fabric and minute examination of its construction reveals the fine craftsmanship built into each pair of jeans— this is the BOBSON Denim DNA.”
Key elements of the BOBSON Denim include the left hand twill, a softer way of weave that makes every pair feel like second skin; stitch belt loops for stronger construction; and pewter rivet buttons that will outlast your jeans. BOBBOBSON | Page B2
WHAT TO DO IN CASE RUBY BECOMES NASTIER GLOBE Telecom advises its customers in Eastern Visayas to take necessary measures in preparation for Typhoon Hagupit, which entered the Philippine area of responsibility today. The typhoon is expected to hit some of the areas devastated by Typhoon Yolanda about a year ago. The telecommunications provider urges its customers to charge their cellphones and other mobile devices, in case the weather anomaly causes extended commercial power failure. The company suggests customers may also opt to buy alternative source of energy such as power banks and rechargeable lamps with USBs. Here are some tips to conserve battery life of smartphones: 1. Log off or turn off unnecessary mobile apps or at least disable push notifications for nonessential apps 2. Turn off unnecessary radios such as GPS, blue tooth and Wi-Fi. 3. Switch off vibrate function and utilize ring tone instead. 4. Turn off sync function.
5. Dim LCD screens and shorten screen timeout 6. Minimize notifications and use phone only when necessary Customers in areas identified in the path of Typhoon Hagupit should also make sure their respective lists of contacts are in order. Contact lists should include emergency numbers such as the nearest hospital, police stations and barangay or community leaders. Globe Senior Vice-President for Corporate Communications Yoly Crisanto said, “We are now strengthening our disaster-preparedness program in terms of added facilities, supplies, infrastructure, and manpower support so we can immediately attend to network and service concerns that may arise due to the typhoon,” she said. Globe regional teams are being mobilized to ensure they are well equipped to address network issues that could arise from the typhoon. Preparations include deployment of back-up supplies, power tools and infra materials, spares and back-up fuel. Crisanto added that RUBY | Page B2
