Forever’s Aloe Vera Gel, is as close to the real thing as you can get. The first of its kind to receive certification by the International Aloe Science Council, this rich blend of pulp and liquid gives us a product as near to nature as possible. 1. EFFECT on the GUT Aloe Vera has a wonderfully beneficial action on bowel function which results in smooth and efficient transit of contents resulting in a softer, bulkier stool, making it easier to pass. 2. ASSISTS in HEALTHY DIGESTION A healthy digestive tract ensures that nutrients from the food we eat are absorbed into the bloodstream. There is clear, clinical evidence that by drinking Aloe Vera Gel the bowel is able to absorb these nutrients more efficiently, especially protein. I also suspect that many other substances are much b...

Is frustration really a part of life? In my 50+ years on earth, I've been into a lot of experiences where I cried, became angry because of frustration. The choices we made or things we did sometimes lead us to feel frustrated. The things that we wanted to do but in one way or another is not being addressed or fulfilled can leave us with sentiments and frustrations. How are we affected by it? It can make a huge impact on us, it can either make or break a person. It can also be a catalyst to success or failure. It can drive a person to face fear and do what has to be done to resolve the issue. And when this happens, whatever the answer maybe, the important thing is the person did try to do something. Work is important to me so every now and then even if I am not that physically fit to work, I tried my best to be present to avoid conflict. Two days ago, that was what I exactly did. I decided to go to work even if I wasn't feeling very well due to lack of sleep the n...

A writer's block? Did it happen to me? Am I a writer in the first place? Ha ha.. I haven't been writing for I guess more than 5 months now. I just stopped writing. I didn't have inspiration or should I say procrastination won over my motivation. So I decided to write again, and just write anything. I have a lot of things in my mind I want to write about,  my daughter for example. She just turned 15 last September 30. Both of my children were born at the same date. My son Justin was born 10 years before her. My daughter Isabel! Isn't she beautiful? Isabel is kind, funny and loving. But now that she's on her puberty, I kinda have difficulty dealing with her. She can easily hurts my feelings when she's not very nice to me, for example when I have to ask her something or I have to tell her to maintain the cleanliness in her room and she will just kinda ignore me or will tell me to get out of her room. That really hurts and because I care for h...

Happiness? What connotes this word? How do we define it? Do we just define it literally or does it have a deeper meaning? The Wikipedia has this to say about it. To quote “ Happiness is a mental or emotional state of well-being characterized by positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy”. Well being?  From what? Physically, emotionally, mentally, psychologically, spiritually and financially? If we are in the state of being well in all these aspects, Are we going to be truly really happy?  To some people happiness is simple. They count their blessings, even how little they have, like a bit of food, a small house, a meager salary, a simple life, they are contented and just the thought of having to be alive and breathing is happiness to them. But is that all? Are they truly really happy with just that? I wonder…  To others it means a lot of things. Money , fame, cars, big houses, travels, business and anything that money can buy i...
