An Inconvinient Truth

I just watched the documentary film of Mr. Al Gore the "An Inconvinient Truth". I had a chance to see this very meaningful film because of my very environmental concerned boss Mr. Emiliano Zulberti. He want us to be as opened as he is regarding global warming crisis that we are all experiencing. The movie will serve as the start how we can help our earth survive all its crisis now. This is also a preparation for our tomorrows company outing/activity the "Tree Planting" in Ipo Dam, Norzagaray, Bulacan.

Honestly, before I see the movie it seems to me that this will be just an ordinary film. But when I watched and learned all the facts and possibilities, I am so scared and felt it is really coming near us. I was really stroked by the movie and made me really eager to plant many trees as I can tomorrow. If only my son could understand this movie (but he is just only 3), I would be glad to let him watch this. I am highly recommending this documentary film to be watch by everybody from all ages. We can make a difference...And that difference big or small will matter a lot someday...

MAY GOD BLESS US ALL ALWAYS...

Can Pregnant Women Drink?

During pregnancy, food and drink consumed by the expectant mother is passed on to the developing baby through the placenta. Consuming alcohol during pregnancy has been shown to have an adverse affect on the developing baby.

Heavy drinking throughout pregnancy has been known to cause alcohol dependency in new-born infants and abnormalities affecting growth, mental retardation and low intelligence, and facial and other physical defects, and organ damage.

This is known as fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). The physical, mental, and emotional effects caused by FAS are tragically irreversible. Even moderate amounts of alcohol are thought to have a detrimental impact on the well-being of expectant mothers and the unborn child.

For years doctors have suggested that pregnant women should have no more than four units of alcohol a week and no more than a single unit in 24 hours. The truth is, it is not fully known what the impact of even such moderate amounts may have on a developing fetus. There is no recommended safe level of alcohol for pregnant women.

New advice from the Department of Health recommends that women should abstain from alcohol during pregnancy.

OktoberFest Trivia!!!

It may be called "Oktoberfest," but the big event starts in September. It all began with a wedding—in October 1810. On the 12th day of October that year, Crown Prince Ludwig (later King Ludwig I of Bavaria) wed Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen and held a big party near Munich (München). It was so popular, that the party (complete with horse racing) took place again the following year, prompting the start of a traditional German celebration that has become world famous. Other than for interruptions caused by war or disease, Oktoberfest has been celebrated every year since 1811.

Oktoberfest will celebrate its 200th anniversary in 2010. Although the horse racing (Pferderennen) didn't become a lasting part of Oktoberfest, just about everything else did! Today, the world's most famous beer festival (das Bierfest) is held on a large 31-hectare field in Munich known as die Theresienwiese (named for Princess Therese) or just die Wiesn if you're a local.

Happy Beer Fiesta!
