There are days when I would want to do everything just to have house help doing the chores for me. She doesn’t have to wear scrubs nor any uniforms, as long as she does what is supposed to be done at home: washing dishes, doing the laundry, cooking, sweeping and most of all, waking up early to cook packed lunch for the kids.
I got stomach flu for a few days and it was not something I look forward to in the near future.
Symptoms of stomach flu or gastroenteritis include:
diarrhea
nausea
abdominal cramps, and
vomiting
Some symptoms may include low-grade fever.
This is highly contagious especially if this is bacterial, viral or parasitic in nature so it is best to wash hands every time especially after going to the bathroom or keep a hand sanitizer at all times.
Be sure to take lots of fluids and rest. Fluids will help avoid dehydration which causes more complications than the condition’s symptoms.
The BRAT diet is recommended before going back to regular diet: banana, rice, apples and toast.
This three-day illness which snapped out the energy in me. I felt faint, not hungry, bloated, had headache, wasn’t able to sleep and not burping.
Now I’m better. I think, except for that bitter taste in the tongue which made me crave for boiled eggs. I had two just a while ago. Gah.
Unilab recently launched Unilab Link-Up, an open-source program for innovations in healthcare. This is a site where innovators, suppliers, consumers and those who have new ideas on how to improve health and wellness can contribute in the following aspects:
wellness products
wellness services
packaging
manufacturing technologies
Unilab, a Filipino pharmaceutical and healthcare company, created Unilab Link-Up as an open-source facility that will enable to match innovative ideas on heath and wellness with their resources to be able to bring the idea to intended market.
Unilab Link-Up aims to provide solutions to the health and wellness needs of the Filipinos which still needs to be addressed by the existing products and services in the country.
“For many years, we’ve drawn from our internal resources and expertise to come up with trusted quality healthcare products,” says Unilab President & CEO Clinton Campos Hess. “Now, we’re broadening our sources of innovation to include not only our internal resources, but also our partners, customers, and consumers; thus the Unilab Link-up.”
Submissions go through a four-level review process by an idea review body, with corresponding rewards for the innovation partner as the idea progresses into the review levels until the idea is launched in the market.
“Link up with us and together let’s explore the exciting possibilities of your ideas,” invites Hess. “Your ideas could be the start of something big.”
Among those who sing cover songs in YouTube, there is one we specifically love: Maddie Jane.
With today’s technology, it is easy to listen to songs we wouldn’t have access to years ago. In fact, upcoming bands and singers get easily recognized through the various means that people can listen to them. It is also easier to access their musical creations through music cd duplication.
To my aspiring little guitarist, I hope she also gets her break with the fickle-minded audience someday 🙂
If there’s one thing I have a hard time doing, it is opening and closing bottles and jars with threaded openings. I have difficulty doing this the covers that I put back are always skewed and I always, always have to remove it and try again. It’s as if I need special techniques and gadgets for these threaded inserts.
To curb my frustration on having to open and close the covers of mayonnaise which I always use for the sandwiches the children bring to school, I resorted to getting those Japanese mayonnaise for easier grip on the cover.
