LAP Band And Gastric Bypass Surgery

Nowadays, we all want to lose weight- and fast. Luckily, there are many methods out there that can be done for you to be able to get that body you wanted. Gastric bypass surgery is the most commonly performed type of weight loss surgery. This procedure is performed to lessen the stomach size, as well as the length of the small intestine. The procedure both restricts the amount of food that can be eaten, and limits the absorption of the food in the intestine, making you feel full after a few bites.

To be eligible for this surgery, the LAP-BAND is intended for adults with a body mass index of 35 or higher, or people who are 80-100 pounds overweight and who have unsuccessfully tried exercising and dieting. For patients to go through this procedure, they must also be willing to diet and change their lifestyle both before and after surgery. People should be aware that the cost of realize band is dependent on who will do the surgery, hospital fees, and other factors but the insurance company may should all or just a percentage of the surgical procedure.

Another example of a quick weight loss method is the lap band. The LAP Band is a type of adjustable gastric band used for weight loss surgery. During surgery, this silicone band is placed around the stomach, limiting the amount of food that may be consumed. The LAP band helps people feel full while eating less, gradually losing weight. Like the gastirc bypass surgery, a patient whose BMI is higher than 35 or 80-100 pounds overweight is eligible to go through the weight loss surgery. Like most surgeries, there are also disadvantages and side effects after the surgery.

Bare Hand Puppet Singing "One Night"

For three consecutive days, I had no internet connection and I had nothing to do but stare at the four corners of my room. I then saw a ballpen and looked at my hand. I drew a mouth, and eyes on my hand. I created a hand puppet! Thought it was so cute that I must record it. I saw my cellphone with camera and it suddenly dawned on me on what to do next! I recorded my hand singing... but of course, that was my voice. I always thought it would be nice making different voices. On this video, I used a macho male voice. I was not biased or anything but the hand puppet I made was so cute that I created more of it. I showed it to my nieces and baby nephew and they were laughing also. I was having a hard time uploading it on youtube, though. Hope you like it.

 

 

New Year 2011

By now, I can truthfully say that I have survived 2010.

Two hours before the year 2010 ended, I was still busy doing my job as a Freelancer. As for my son, he was outside our house, giggling and laughing with the neighbors' kids. They were busy preparing for firecrackers that they were planning to use to welcome 2011.

Fireworks and firecrackers are very famous in the Philippines especially if there are big celebrations like birthdays, fiesta, anniversaries, and most of all, Christmas and New Year.

I learned that firecrackers were invented by the Chinese and that was one of their many inventions which they brought in the Philippines. The Chinese believed that loud sounds and exploding lights could ward off the bad spirits and misfortunes of the old year and to give the incoming year a clean slate.

The difference between fireworks and firecrackers is that the beauty of fireworks can only be seen during nighttime. On the other hand, the firecrackers is being appreciated by the sound it produces, thus the louder the sound of the explosion, the better it is to keep bad luck away from transferring to the new year.

The Philippine government is now discouraging the Filipino people to use firecrackers since most of the time, freak incidents happen (see the picture below to know the reason).



Most of the firecrackers and fireworks that proliferate in the Philippines came from Bocaue, Bulacan, which is also being considered as the "Firecracker capital of the Philippines".

Below are some of the most dangerous firecrackers available in the market.

Atomic Bomb - explodes like an Atomic Bomb (left) / GoodBye Philippines - explodes like there is Civil War in the Philippines (right)

Bawang (Garlic) - produces mild explosion

Bin Laden Firecracker - explodes like it is the end of the world

 

 

Google PageRank Update December 2010

Has Google updated their PageRanking system?

This blog of mine used to have PR0 for such a long time, but just this morning, I noticed that it has got PR2. Is my eyes playing tricks on me?

Up to now, Google has not divulge on when they usually update their PageRanking system, and only the Google insiders know when they would want to have it updated.

Last year, the PageRank has been updated 4 times and the year before that, it has been updated 5 times. Back in 2007, it has only been updated twice!

Science Poem

Long been wanting to post Albert EInstein's photo here and I guess this is the right time! Hahaha!

One of my son's projects at school is to make a poem about Science. Just so my son could pass a project, I made one and it took me 5 minutes to make it. I know the poem doesn't make any sense at all. It looks like a kindergarten made it.

I sure hope my son gets a high grade on this or else I will burn down the school! Just kiddng.

Anyway, here it is...



Science

What is this horrible Science
As most students may ask
Others say defiance
Alas! A difficult task

Always wanting to know
What this is or that
But believe me, it is not
As hard as Calculus or Math

It is true Science has lots
Of simple different branches
All of your ideas and questions
Can't be answered by hunches

Ever it has to be proven
By Scientific experimentation
Believing just a shallow theory
Is a very sinful conclusion

Look above, what will you see?
Look from above, what will you still see?
Science is everywhere, my bold friend
Your ears to your teachers, you should lend.
