Anything Under The Sun

More than 50 percent of computer users experience eyestrain, headaches, blurred vision and other visual symptoms related to sustained use of the computer. This type of stress on the visual system can also cause body fatigue and reduced efficiency at work. In addition, there are now indications that heavy computer users are at risk for glaucoma.

Many of these symptoms can be reduced through a combination of correcting workstation conditions, posture, stress-relieving lenses such as one I found at Zenni Optical $8 Rx Glasses

which will help us specifically for computer operation. This one Best Thing Found: Zenni Optical

eyeglasses are one of the Great Discovery: Zenni Optical

eyeglasses that I personally would recommend for use.

There is this certain thoughts again in me. Sometimes when we know we’re right, we’re right! I’m grateful that I just listen to what that little voice in my head keeps telling me. I know it has invaluable insight that I will need. Someone invited me who really does catch me a bit off guard than usual, but now it’s showing me a glimpse of my possible future.

I came up with this question- "Is this the path I really want to take?" Now, I just have to tune into that voice again and do whatever it says. Picking the right path should not be something to deliberate over for days. It should be something that we just have to do.

Miss America Looks to a New Generation.

Miss Michigan Kirsten Haglund was crowned Miss America 2008 Saturday in a live event from Las Vegas. Haglund isn’t the first in her family to reach for the top tiara; her grandmother, Iora Hunt, competed as Miss Michigan in 1944. “This a dream come true, not just for me but for my family as well,” Haglund said. “I’m not just standing up here alone.”

Reflection: New Year’s Eve Sacrifice

Women’s rights around the world are an important indicator of understanding global well-being. Many may think that women’s rights are only an issue in countries where religion is law, such as many Muslim countries. Or even worse, some may think this is no longer an issue at all.

But, Hsiang Lin’s wife is a picture of a pitiful woman, discriminated, and a woman who doesn’t have an identity of her own. She’s a picture of a woman who no one ever cares if she does exist in this world. Upon reading the selection on New Year’s Eve where it relates the life story of Hsiang Lin’s wife, my heart can’t just stop beating fast controlling my emotions thinking that I can’t do anything to defend her from such oppression and from such humiliation. It is very much humiliating that even she, herself couldn’t have that right to decide on her own. Issues such as forcefully offered as wife to other men in exchange for cash, good or we may coin it as wealth. Women’s dignity I believe is not worth anything in this world and it can not be bought by any wealth in this world.

Lu Hsun’s “New Year’s Eve Sacrifice” for me is a masterpiece. It is a masterpiece because it presents to the whole world the issues about women that has to be taken care of and needed much of our attention. I am just so grateful that nowadays especially in Philippines, this kind of practice to which Hsiang Lin’s wife suffered does no longer apply. There are already a lot of institutions who played the role of women defenders against all prejudices of women. I, myself would stand firm as well, to protect my fellow women, my self to which we are safe and far from what life has brought to Hsiang Lin’s wife.

Reaction:

I don’t agree to this editorial. People have different perspectives in life and it just so happen when comes to this issue I reset so much with the author’s opinion. I would like to emphasize my resentment to the last line of the second paragraph of this editorial which states that- “That power should be exclusively exercised by the Supreme Court—to make the “separation of powers” principle more meaningful.”  

I can’t see any bright views on his statement that such principle would become more meaningful when separation of powers will solely be done by Supreme Court. On his latter explanation he stressed out that this purposely will insulate judges/justices from the pernicious influence of politics, when in the very first place- they are part of the Philippine Politics. And whether we like it or not, no matter what position you are into the government, these people sat on the same seat of “power”. Power that mostly push people to embrace graft and corruption, influence others to satisfy their selfish, political agenda. Mediocrity doesn’t know how to choose people to embrace it. So whether it is a Palace driven or not, politicians faced this one great tempting power.
