Let's Talk About Writing

Do you know that a good essay should have a strong Thesis Statement? A thesis statement is a sentence that indicates what you want to prove, discuss and achieve in the end of your essay. The thesis statement will be your guide to keep you on the right track in achieving what you want to emphasize in your work. A strong thesis statement should have a stand and precise, it should also justify a discussion. To achieve this, the writer should research for the given topic thoroughly; you don’t want to fall in a trap when you are given questions by the readers. A strong thesis statement also should convey one main idea; the readers of your essay might be confused when your thesis statement expresses more than one main point.

A thesis is a propositional statement or set of such statements which is expandable to any length, from a single sentence to a book and that it can be true or false, but we are nonetheless free to reject it based on the evidence and our reaction to it. For this reason, it stands for a dissertation thesis or essay written upon an explicit or definite theme, especially presented by a candidate for a diploma or degree. The majority of students will agree that thesis writing and passing it will bring them closer to their final destination, which is the graduation. Thesis writing is a very challenging task, even though you are well equipped and one of the smartest students in class, making a high quality thesis is really hard. It takes a lot of your time and effort in doing some research and it is very stressful and even frustrating for some.

Writing a PhD thesis for example is really a heavy burden. This kind of thesis should be well written to receive sincere appreciation and admiration of the severest critics. This is a very challenging task but you must pass this stage since this is one of the requirements to have a PhD degree. It is good to know that there are some professional writers and researchers that offer their services to help you create a high quality and well written thesis in no time. They can collect and provide required data for your project and even data analysis and statistics. If you want to save your time, energy and eliminate frustration and tension, it is advisable to ask for professional help.

Getting Ready For The Rainy Days

It's Ber months already and in a few more days, rainy days will be here again. Just like the usual rainy weather pattern, it started out as heavy rain showers in the afternoon or in the evening. Give it a few more weeks and we'll be having rain on the morning.

Are you ready for the rainy days? Here are some tips on how you can be a rainy day soldier:

• Stock on food. Buy enough supplies that will last for at least 5 days. Buy food such as instant noodles, rice and canned goods.
• Charge your cellphone and other gadgets always (specially when you know a storm is coming). And that's common sense right?
  
• Prepare your emergency lights and put it in a place where you can easily get it.
• Stock on protective clothing specially for the kids.
  
• And of course, always prepare an umbrella or two.
  

Two of my kids are both studying now and to lessen my worry, I always prepare a jacket with hood for them in case it rains.

3 Important Things You Need To Know About Primary Compplex (and other treatment tips)

My kids was tested positive of primary complex last April 2009. And after 6 months of drinking Blood, Urine and Vomit they are clear of TB.

See? It does look like Blood, Urine and Vomit. But my sister who loves food better than me says it's mayonnaise, vinegar and ketchup. LOL

So anyways, here are the 3 things you need to know when battling Primary Complex.

• Primary Complex is not contagious. Don't ever make your kids feel that what they have is something to be embarrassed about. Based on my readings and from my pedia, Primary Complex is now common here in the country. It's not as scary as it used to be ten years ago and it can be easily cured.
• Primary Complex is a from of Tuberculosis on kids. They got it from an adult. When an adult suffering from Tuberculosis made contact to a kid through cough and sneeze, the mycrobacteria M. tuberculosis is transferred to the kid.
• Primary Complex is a 6 month long treatment. Not lesser. You need to make sure that you give the meds everyday religiously for 6 months. If not, the bacteria will just evolve and will develop into a more med resistant kind.

When treating Primary Complex, here are some tips that may come in handy:

• During the first 4 months, your kids need to take in 3 types of medicines (photo above). On the 5th and 6th month based on the advise of your pedia, the meds may be lessen to two kinds.
• It is best to give them meds on the morning, 30 minutes before eating but you can also give it during lunch time (just make sure that you give it 30 minutes before meal time). Also take note of the time you give the meds, it should be the same time all through out the treatment period.
  
• The three meds have different consistencies. If your kids are a bit hard when it comes to medicine, you should give them the pink med first as this is the most ill tasted. This is done so that whenever the kid refused to swallow it up or throw it up, they hadn't taken in the other meds yet. Give the yellowish next and give the red one last. The red one is the most difficult to swallow, hence they will need a lot of water to consume it. You should give it to them last because they would be full from drinking water to help them swallow the red one.
  
• Stick to the meds your doctor gave you. I tried buying the cheaper kit but it turns out that though I save on money, my kids did not like the taste of the cheaper kind. The photo above is the set from Unilab. Trust them to be child's tongue friendly (TasteRite™ technology).
• If you child gains weight easily, you might wanna consult your pedia every month for the dosage as it's effectiveness rely on the weight of the kid.
  

How much is Primary Complex Treatment?
In order for you to know if your kid is suffering from Primary Complex, they will have to undergo two kinds of test, XRAY and PPD (purified protein derivative) or tuberculin skin test.

XRAY test can vary from 300 Philippine Pesos to more than 1K depending on your hospital. In some hospitals, this is shouldered by your HMO, in some it is not.

PPD or Tuberculin Skin test ranges from 600 Pesos to more than 1k, again, depending on your provider and this is NOT shouldered by HMO.

The HRZ Kit (Isoniazid + Rifampicin + Pyrazinamide) from Unilab was less than 500 the last time I bought, so that was last year. A kid can consume 1 to 2 (or 1 to 2 big HRZ kit) bottle a month depending on his weight. It is best to buy it in pack (HRZ kit) as you can save a lot than buying the medicine per bottle. Trust me, I have been there, spend time computing it to see where I can save more. (I will try to update this when I got the prize of each meds).

Rimafed or the red one will be consumed more than the other two. Rimafed is given in more ml than the other two that is why.

The total amount of Peso you will have to spend when treating Primary Complex (if you have a kid that is less than 15 kilos) is around (cost of xray and ppd not included) 5000 Pesos.

The New Toy And The Start Of New Addiction

And here is the new toy I am talking about. I think it is about time that I indulge in something more than Mega blocks or Sati's clothes. I plan on buying a Flip camcorder for myself but I put it off for this. That is Sony W350 in black. Not in pink as I am not a pink girl (if not for my ovaries, you wouldn't even know I'm a girl LOL). If you are as frugal as I am, you can find the same camera on circuit city for less than $170 (that includes shipping). You can even buy a w310 for only $120 (waah I wanna buy one for my mom!)

Anyways, because of this, I am now having an addiction to camera. I have a DSLR. I have a point and shoot. What else? Toy Cameras!

Beyblade Invasion

Got their second Beyblade as of today.. I promised to buy them the handle for Beyblade launcher but there was none in the nearest toy store.. so instead, another Beyblade was bought. And seeing their happy faces.. I think I will give in to this toys for now.. and now I am planning to buy them the set above (the photo I got from Hasbro). That was $25.. and I don't how much it is here in the country.. maybe twice the price.. the last stadium I bought is worth $22 and it's one of the simplest stadium I have seen.

Oh well, I hope a single post can buy the set above.. wish me luck!

Enjoying Point And Shoot

I have been using a dslr for more than a year now. So last week when I finally bought a point and shoot, the kids enjoyed it too. They knew that they can play with it more than my dslr.

I bought my point and shoot form an online seller for only $190 (the online US price is at $199) and the price here in our country is at $340. That's the best thing about being online most of the times. You can get a lot of bargain finds in the net. Oh you can even look for Texas Maritime lawyers by just clicking your mouse. Since I started my online gigs and I spend half of my day on the net, I have been an avid online shopper. Everything I need to know, I look in the net.

Now, 4 days after I bought my camera, I am learning how to manipulate it. The intelligent option is too bright and only later that I discovered the program option and I am loving it. I still can have the "in control" feel of my dslr minus the weight.

Date With Chico

Last week, I decided to give myself a treat! A new toy for mommy, a Sony w350 point and shoot camera. Thursday and my money from paypal arrived, I called the seller and we agreed to meet up in SM Megamall the same day.

I brought Chico with me.. after a date with my boys last week, that day is for Chico.

So after we bought the camera, I was tempted to look for some fine linens like matouk on the ground floor. But it seems that towing a two year old is not the day for linen hunting. Instead, we looked around Cyberzone for a memory card and a camera case. Then I treat him to Dulcinea. I have a strong feeling that he would love Dulcinea's Churros Con Choco.. and he did!



And he enjoyed the piece of cake served to us in replacement for the cream puff that is included in my meal. All the photos was taken with my new toy.
