Is it passion fruit?

I am not sure if it helped. I am pretty sure that I am having a health problem lately. At nights, it is difficult for me to breath and I can hear the loud pumping sound of my heart,bong! bong! bong! despite taking my maintenance medicines. My nephew brought this fruit home courtesy of my siblings' backyard plant somewhere else. After enjoying the fruit, I noticed some improvements in the rhythm of my heart. I should eat more.

Thinking Aloud

Many were impressed when this candidate mentioned that her way to address the issues surrounding the nation's health insurance system (i.e. Philhealth) is to appoint/involve actuarial scientists in the matter of handling the funds by the health insurance system. The appreciation of the point seems to follow from the candidate's awareness of a field called actuarial science, a field not known by many. The answer ended that way though. There is a probability that the actuarial scientists will recommend higher contributions from members as a way to prolong the life of the fund. should the recommendation be such, it will mean more expense from the ordinary citizen. Then, is it an alleviating solution?

Waday swelte waday malas

Kasasadot kayman no mamingsan. Maki-ing ka no pag waday segit duwan magay udan. Maskaw ka no pag teg-in duwan magay segit. Anusam ay manse-ed. Wada ngin pa-abe di sumawang ay pansaya-atan.

Baka manta-uli biyag da ed bayag (Lifestyle may reset to the ancient way)

Dream for a Better Tomorrow

Some people are just lucky. They have nothing to worry about. They are comfortably positioned. They are enjoying a seat. Everything is easy for them. Here you are! You always start the day with the question. What problems are before me today? True enough, a queue of concerns are there to be faced. At times, you feel at fault when you have done nothing wrong in the first place. There is an endless list of pressure-causing concerns to address. You may entertain the thought of just giving up and let them be. Life should be fair. There must be a way out. Is there really no way for a good feeling of the day. Is there hope? Is there a better tomorrow? There must be! Affirm that you can be the architect of your state. Yes, yes, yes. There is a way and such way should be explored right now. Goodbye to the dream of a better tomorrow. Let the coming darkness be a sign of the end of the inequality. Welcome the better days.
