    I only came across this word ‘physiotherapy’ when I had met with a near fatal accident way back in the year 2006. I was advised complete bed rest for 3 three months and had to use the walker and the wheelchair whe […]

    • Indeed, if we are to do exercises, it should be checked by a physical therapist or by a physiotherapist.

      Pains felt on one’s body can also be consulted to a physiotherapist.

      Actually, my officemate had back pains before. She had 8 sessions , two times a week of physical therapy and after that her back pain was gone.

      Though, it is a bit costly. One session is worth 400 pesos or $8, but it is worth the money.

      • As I have mentioned in the post physiotherapy is for everybody because as one gets older muscles need certain movements.

    • As long as they can fool people,they will thrive in their scamming activities! No one should believe such gimmicks!

      • When the Scam started, we felt that; “Hey America! Don’t blame us cause you have dumb people!”

        But America didn’t feel like that. So we were punished. But I’m sure it is still going on.

Most of the sites today does have no matter, but they are earning something for engaging people on their sites for longer time… Google is paying for that reason.. Moderators are in turn passing the portion of their earnings to their most valued members for their contributions

    • Bougainvillea is indeed beautiful and we have this in our home. Although it doesn’t require much maintenance they are pleasant to have in our garden. It surrounds the wall in our home and forms a natural garland in our home.

      We have this plant in the entrance of our college and it is one of the major attractions and landmarks to our college, This Bougainvillea stands as a pretty landmark in the entrance. Other than Bouganvillea we have so many exotic flowering trees which add the beauty to our serene environment.

      I just love them and planning to have more of them in my home. Thanks for the article. 🙂

    • It is true, and many people especially young ones do not know the risks involved in plastering facebook with their photos! They are easy targets for scammers, etc.

      I do not accept friendships from people I do not know, so FB should stop such things as “people you might know!”

      • I totally agree with you. Anyone who clicks on these users has no idea who they are. I know my friends, but who is this? I could use any photo as myself… so do they.
