It’s been estimated that 12 to 18 million adults suffer from sleep apnea. Less than a third are aware about it. Let it be known that obese individuals, men more than women and people over 40 are more at risk. If you happen to have a family history and you smoke and drink alcohol, the [...]

Perfect Hair Style

J | March 30, 2008

I badly need a haircut. When I say badly, it is really that bad. I had my last trim in October. It’s unbelievable, but that’s how long it’s been.

I Got Cut

Thankfully enough, it happened three years ago, not today haha. Yes, as I was dicing onion I accidentally cut a very thin portion of the corner of my right thumb barely sparing the corner of my fingernail. It happened so fast, blood started to gush right away. It happened not because I’m using my left [...]
