October - Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Breast cancer is a vital killer, especially to women. It is always better to prevent than to cure. You would like to treasure your life by not putting risk on such a disease and bring sorrow to your love ones. I lost my beloved late mom because of this vital disease. So please, ladies out there, take care of your breasts before it is too late.
Few days ago, Advertlets had an advertisement on the issue of child abuse. Do you know the story behind? This is an article from NAFASG Team.
In our times of darkness, children are the ones who will brighten us up. No matter what ordeals we have to endure in our daily lives, we know that we can overcome them the moment we set eyes on children. Their innocence and purity in them will always give us a sense of peacefulness and calm that is beyond words. And it goes without saying that life would be meaningless without seeing them smile, hearing them laugh and cry, and feeling their small and flawlessly gentle hands that want to reach out to us.
Yet, there are some who show no empathy and sensitivity towards these beautiful souls. Worse still, they would dunk themselves into physical violence and cruelty towards the children without even thinking twice. Such acts can deem someone to be worse than an animal, because even an animal has compassion and love for its young.
A lot of people say we are very close sisters. Many envy us. We are really close sisters, we started to develop our close relationship since Mom went for a never-return-journey. We love each other deeply in our hearts. In the family, we only trust one another..sad to say that, the only one that we can really trust is one another. We stand together, so that the Evil One can’t do much harm to us.
Really can’t imagine if I don’t have a sister by my side…how could I have survived in my current situation?

Nafa requested to post the following article to help a friend to find her sister. Although they don’t live together since young..I do hope one day they can meet each other again..
Please spare some time to read this post that we have written on behalf of a good friend of ours in the blogosphere. By reading this post and spreading the word to the others around you, you could reunite two people who shared an extraordinary relationship. You could be the one to reunite two sisters.
Her name is Jackie Hooper, also known as Shinade. Her biological mother was Maxine Soape, but a couple had adopted her. According to her, besides her mother, she also had a younger sister as a family member. Just like her, her sister, who was born in 1959 or 1960 and is three years younger than her, had also been adopted out to another couple, by her own paternal uncle.
Both were born in the same hometown of East Texas, but are now being adopted by two different couples and have been separated since then. The sister is currently staying with her adopted parents in Pueblo, Colorado.
Jackie has never stood a chance to watch her younger sister grow, and has never even known what her sister’s name is.
As painful as it is to be worlds apart from your friends, it is even more painful to be worlds apart from your own flesh and blood. So readers, we hope that you can show some sense of empathy towards Jackie ‘Shinade’ Hooper who longs to rebuild her life with her younger sister whom she holds very dear in her heart throughout the years.
This is your chance to do something good for someone in our global society who is in need of our helping hands.
If you can provide any information about Jackie’s sister that would be able to assist Jackie in her search, we urge you to keep us in the loop or directly inform Jackie at her blog. Your liberality towards helping out in this search would be greatly appreciated by all of us here, but the one who would be most thankful to you is Jackie herself.
A little kindness goes a long way. Readers, please show your compassion towards someone who wants nothing else but to reunite with her beloved younger sister once again. They share a strong kinship, and they deserve to be together till the end of time.

Dear Readers,
We hope that you can spare some of your time reading this article. It would mean a lot to one of our good friends in the blogosphere, if you can help her in this.
Our good friend named Sandy is currently searching for a person whom she had always regarded as her best friend. They were very close to each other, until a conflict between them arose. Ever since then, both of them lost touch of each other.
It has been nine long years since they last communicated with each other, and Sandy is deeply affected by her best friend’s absence. Her greatest wish right now is to reunite with her best friend and be close to her like before.
If you happened to know Judy and her whereabouts, kindly inform us or inform Sandy directly via her blog. Even if you have never heard of Judy, you can still do your part by spreading this heartfelt message via your blogs.
Your immediate response to this message is greatly appreciated. What we are doing may be something small, but if all of us can put our hands together and be part of the search, it can bring two best friends together again after nine long years.
Sandy, please be strong in going through this obstacle in your life. Have great faith that miracles can happen, always look on the bright side of life, and believe that your long awaited wish could come true. We are here for you and will do our best to help you.
Judy, if you are reading this, please contact Sandy as soon as possible. She really misses you and wants to make up for the lost times. Let bygones be bygones. Hope that you will reciprocate Sandy’s feelings as soon as you can.
Global Warming, it’s not a new phrase anymore. However, human beings seem to ignore this issue and continue doing things that increase carbon emission which increase the process of global warming. An infotaintment movie called An Inconvenient Truth, presented by Paramount Classics and Participant Productions, directed by Davis Guggenheim, featuring Al Gore, is now available. It points out the statistics and facts of this issue. It’s a must watch!
What is Global Warming?

A shift to a black background will save a total of 15 watts. If a quarter of the monitors in the world are CRTs, and at 10 cents a kilowatt-hour, that’s about $75,000 a year.Source: The Inquirer
