Cartoon characters in Facebook

One of my friend in facebook sent me this message a few days ago.  

"“Change your Facebook profile picture to a cartoon character from your childhood and invite your friends to do the same. Until Monday, December 6, there should be no human faces on Facebook, but an invasion of memories! This is for a campaign against violence on children.”

                                             

After a few minutes, my profile picture was changed into the picture of Care bear, Love-a-lot.  Nowadays, I can't seem to see any of these cartoon characters in TV, films and/or as stuffed toys.  I just missed them alot and it brings back all my childhood memories with them.  They were just adorable and seeing them again by goggling made me craved to look for more of my favorite cartoon characters.  And a few hours more, my profile picture changed to Archie and Veronica from Archie Comics.  Well, just found out then that Archie chose Veronica over Betty.  Well, i'm an avid fan of Archie comics.  I've had lots of it before but I just given it away for my younger cousins.  This campaign is until Monday, December 6.  So, I still have more days to change my profile pictures of all of my fave cartoon characters.

I've seen on my facebook newsfeed that many of my friends were thinking what the heck is going-on in Facebook that everybody's changing their profile pic unto a cartoon characters. The objective for this is to spread social awareness against Violence on Children around the world. Cartoon characters were chosen because it could bring back good old memories of our childhood. And for me, it really does.  

Let's support the fight against domestic violence on children!

I've inserted this video just a reminder how cruel it could be...  Some of us had seen and heard someone on this situation... I know how saddened you were.  I hope everyone of us who knew someone who are victims of this crime could report this to the authorities.  Let's help the children, live for a better place. 

Which Care Bear are you?

Love-a-Lot Bear
You love to take care of others and people love being around you because you make them feel appreciated. You are very sweet and soft-spoken. You are also a romantic and consider yourself an excellent matchmaker, so you tend to be a bit nosy. But everyone still considers you the sweetest person they know.

STAY by Sugarland (video and lyrics)

Since, I've heard the song of stuck like glue.  I googled more songs of Sugarland and this song made me symphatized with the lyrics.  A real heartbreaking one.  Although, I don't like the concept of the lyrics being a martyr for love, a cheater and a homewrecker.  But, the song's great! I love it.  Many can relate to this.

Jennifer Nettles sang this song in this video so naturally like she was really in this situation.  Well, love all her act on her music videos, i think, if she will be an actress on a movie, she'll get a best actress award.  She's full of emotions.

I've been sitting here staring at the clock on the wall
And I've been laying here praying, praying she won't call
It's just another call from home
And you'll get it and be gone and I'll be crying

And I'll be begging you, baby, beg you not to leave
But I'll be left here waiting with my heart on my sleeve
Oh, for the next time we'll be here
Seems like a million years and I think I'm dying
What do I have to do to make you see she can't love you like me?

Why don't you stay? I'm down on my knees
I'm so tired of being lonely, don't I give you what you need?
When she calls you to go, there is one thing you should know
We don't have to live this way, baby, why don't you stay? Yeah

You keep telling me, baby there will come a time
When you will leave her arms and forever be in mine
But I don't think that's the truth
And I don't like being used and I'm tired of waiting
It's too much pain to have to bear to love a man you have to share

Why don't you stay? I'm down on my knees
I'm so tired of being lonely, don't I give you what you need?
When she calls you to go, there is one thing you should know
We don't have to live this way, baby, why don't you stay?

I can't take it any longer but my will is getting stronger
And I think I know just what I have to do
I can't waste another minute after all that I've put in it
I've given you my best, why does she get the best of you?
So next time you find you wanna leave her bed for mine

Why don't you stay? I'm up off my knees
I'm so tired of being lonely, you can't give me what I need
When she begs you not to go, there is one thing you should know
I don't have to live this way, baby, why don't you stay? Yeah, oh

Beef Bone Marrow Soup (BULALO)

This is one of my Papa's fave dish.  You know he only eat beef, native chicken, and fishes with scales.  He never like pig's meat now.  Well, it is because he was a MI (Myocardial Infarction) victim and he underwent angioplasty.  Many of you who's reading this will be in a big surprise because you think BULALO is full of cholesterol.  Well, it is, but the good one.  Two years ago we were introduced to Dr. Navarro, a consultant of cellular and biochemical medicine.  He specialized in rejuvinating the cells of the body of his patients.

If you want to know more about the wonder of natural healing of Dr. Robin Navarro just visit this link:   http://www.doc-rbnavarro.net

Bone Marrow contains so many nutrients that are fabulously fantastic for our health such that, it should also be listed as a functional food or medicinal food (any healthy or fictional food claimed to have a health-promoting or disease-preventing property beyond the basic function of supplying nutrients). It is more so, because most of its nutrients are able to exert a therapeutic effect. These are as follows:

·       1.  Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) play big roles in the formation of brain and retinal tissue. Huge concentrations of DHA can be found in fetal brain and neural development, especially during the last trimester. Babies, especially those yet to be born, can really benefit from DHA/EPA might also be a boon to the elderly; as we age, cognitive and visual health becomes more important than ever, and low DHA/EPA levels may contribute to the onset of Alzheimer’s disease, other dementias, and vision problems. Also, there has been some research suggesting DHA/EPA has some beneficial effect on the risk of various cancers, including prostate, breast, and colorectal. Suicidal depression and schizophrenia, too, may be linked with low levels of essential fatty acids like EPA and DHA.

·         2. Hormones: Testosterone, Estrogen, Progesterone, Human Growth Hormone

·         3. Vitamin A, D, E and K

·         4. EPO (erythropoitin) Beneficial to patients with renal failure.  (Sandler, O.E.: Some experimental studies on the erythropoietic effects of yellow bone marrow extracts and batyl alcohol. Acta Med Scand, suppl 225:133. 1949; Holab, B.J., Philbrick, D.J., Parbtani, A., Clark, W.F.: Dietary lipid modification of renal disorders and ether phospholipid metabolism. Department of Nutritional Sciences, University of Guelph. Ont, Canada. Biochem Cell BioI (Canada), 69 (7) p. 185-9; Jul 1991)

·         5. Minerals: Magnesium, Calcium, Zinc, etc

·         6. Saturated Fats

·        7. Proteins: L-Arginine (which lowers BP in pre-eclampsic women), Glutamate, Aspartic acid, Lysine, Hydroxylysine and Histidine.


How to cook BULALO (my family way)?

You'll need these:

•     1 kg beef bone marrow, have your butcher chop it into small pieces
•     1/2 kg boneless beef shank or stewing beef
•     1 garlic, peeled and crushed
•     1 onion, peeled and sliced into 4.
•     1 liter of water
•     3 medium taro, peeled and quartered (thickens the soup)
•     2 saba (plantain) bananas, each cut into two pieces
•     1 corn, sliced into 4
•     leaves of chinese white cabbage (pechay).
•     1/2 tbsp. fish sauce (patis)
•     4 red/green chili pepper (sili haba)
•     Salt and pepper to taste

* you can add more water if you want more soup.

Here's how to do it:

   1.   Blanch bone marrow and boneless beef shank or stewing beef in hot boiling water for a while    and rinse in cold running tap water to remove scum and blood.

    2.  Place bone marrow, beef shank or stewing beef, garlic and onion in a stockpot. Pour the 1 liter of water and let it boil..

    3.  Lower heat and simmer for about 20-30 minutes.

    4.  Add the sliced taros.. 

    5.  When it boils again, lower heat and simmer until beef is tender.

    6.  Add the bananas, red/green chili peppers (sili haba) and corn.

    7.  Let it simmer about 10 to 15 minutes.

    8.  Add the chinese white cabbage (pechay) leaves.  Then add salt and pepper to taste

    9.  Cook until about 2 minutes.

    10.Serve with rice and enjoy the soup dish. ;)

Add fish sauce (patis), calamansi juice extract and red hot chili pepper or Bird's eye chili (sili labuyo) for sauce (sawsawan).
