Romi Garduce's Journey and truth about Snow Blindness

I am so proud of our very own Romi Garduce as he finished reaching the 6 out of the seven summits last July. Romi Garduce is considered the first ever Filipino to complete the Seven Summits of the World with “Vinson Massif” (the highest summit or peak in Antarctica) as his next and final target. Romi was able to reach the summit of Carstensz Pyramid (The highest Island Peak in the world) this July which has been documented and telecasted on local tv stations here. I remember his journey to Mount Everest last 2006 which was also being covered by media LIVE. From their journey to the Base camp up to the highest peak of Mount Everest where Romi planted our very own Filipino flag. They shared all their adventures and sacrifices while they’re on camp but of course, all those hard work paid off when he successfully reached the summit. Here are some pictures of Romi Garduce taken from the web.(Romi waving our Flag in the summit of Carstensz Pyramid)

Since we’re talking about Mountain Climbing here, I guess I can share you the topic about an eye condition that mostly experienced by mountain climbers. Photokeratitis or most commonly known as Snow blindness is a condition of eye discomfortness due to exposure to ultraviolet rays. It’s a temporary condition though but it doesn’t mean that you have to ignore it because it might also get worst and might give you pain, poor vision, and constricted pupil. It is also being experienced by most snowboarders. There’s actually one main reason why most climbers and snowboarders experience snow blindness and that’s no other than the failure to wear necessary protective eye gear s. Snowboard Goggles should always be worn to protect your eyes from any sudden and intense exposure to ultraviolet rays. We know how important our sight is so we have to do our best to protect our eyes from any harm.(Romi shown wearing the necessary protective gears including the protective sunglasses)

Of course aside from the snow goggles, climbers like our very own Romi Garduce or even snowboarders, skiers, and skaters, should wear all the necessary protective gears. You have to pay attention to any single details like checking if your boots are fitted well or if your belt is securely fastened because a single negligence may cause bigger disaster which may risk your life. Make sure that your gears are made out of high quality materials that can withstand strong and bad weather condition.

Effective Ways To Invest Your Money

Investing your money is such a clever and practical move to save yourself and your family from any financial problems which may arouse in the near future. Actually there are many ways to invest your money. Listed below are my personal list to help you.

However, the challenge here is how are you going to sell the car much faster? Of course, you have no choice but to sell your car in a much lower price since it's already used and the value of it is not that high anymore, unless you made some upgrades or unless we are talking about vintage cars here.
►HOUSE - One of the common form of investment is the house. You can increase its value by renovating it and by making it more appealing. Just make sure that you buy only high quality materials to it which will help you to sell the house much faster.
►GOLD or SILVER COINS/ BULLION - Buying gold is such a great investment because of its high value. It has always been the best form of investment because of its stability. You can keep the gold as long as you want and when then when you experience serious financial problems, you can simply sell them in a legal firm. Actually you can now sell gold online.

Dealing With Rust

Our car is mostly made out of metal so you really have to expect that when time goes by, you will eventually bring it to a repair shop for replacement. Steel car bodies are susceptible to rust because of being exposed to water and sun everyday. Especially now that the weather seems so weird because today the sun shines so bright and tomorrow the rain will fall heavily from the sky.
This weird weather condition can cause your car from getting rust easily.
Anyway, we have to be aware about this and we have to be responsible for it.
Keep in mind that rust is more like a virus because once a metal get infected by it, the rust will grow bigger and bigger which weakens the metal and to prevent this from happening, once you see the sign of rusting, better bring your car to an auto body repair shop as early as possible.
I'm not really sure what kind of solution they can give but if the condition is quite worst, I'm sure you'll end up replacing the whole body.
Keep in mind also that a rust spot increases and spreads with time, especially with each rain or snow storm so better not ignore it or else, it will cost you big time. Whether you plan on keeping it or selling it, your car will look cleaner without the rust.I’m sure you don’t want to be judge by the car you drive right?
Make sure that you bring your car to a reputable Auto Repair Company for a better and high quality service.

I have Sensitive Teeth

I have a sensitive teeth and I've been complaining about this painful sensation every time i drink or eat something extremely cold and hot.
Just like last time when my mom bought us an ice cream. I just can't eat it because my teeth is reacting so fast and it's really painful. Actually even when i drink a cold water, sometimes, i have to take a straw to sip it just to avoid that painful teeth reaction.
The only way to keep myself away from that painful reaction is by using this special toothpaste made just for sensitive teeth. Right now, I'm using this Colgate Pro-Active which is quite expensive compare to the normal brands, (And i think Colgate should commend me for promoting them in this blog LOL)
Anyway, it is really effective though the result will not last for long and i have to brush my teeth again after it loses the effect.
Even though i prevent that painful reaction through this special tooth paste, i still need to consult a dentist and maybe he can provide a permanent solution for it.
I'm just hoping that i can find a service similar to that Dentist Portland, I'm sure they can do something for my sensitive teeth in no time.
