rebonding vs. semi-rebond

I was told that the difference between full rebond and semi-rebond depends only on the amount of hair being ironed during the ironing process. The same medicine is used but it is only in the amount of hair and amount of time put in ironing which differentiates the two processes. The difference in price of the service is a bit huge so you might want to go for the cheaper one.

Politics in the Philippines is crazy. Just look everywhere and you see the lipsticked and hatted politicians with fake smiles plastered all around. It is hilarious how these politicians now wear their fakest smiles just to win the hearts and votes of gullible Pinoys. And they have resorted to tactics used by trapos and that is mudslinging, challenging one to undergo a psychological test for he probably feels that lying is an acceptable trait. What? Habitual lying is a psychological disorder he needs to have his mind checked ASAP. A habitual liar can't be running the country for his leadership will surely be flavored with dark controversies. What else has he kept secret from the public? And have you seen their faces on television while they are posing with crowd-drawing celebrities? Don't they look like greedy monsters? Just look at their faces. They're all saying, "I want to win, I love nothing but power and money!" What clowns!

Be busy this Summer!

Foods that harm your dogs

Q. Which foods could be dangerous for my dog? A. Some foods which are edible for humans, and even other species of animals, can pose hazards for dogs because of their different metabolism. Some may cause only mild digestive upsets, whereas, others can cause severe illness, and even death. The following common food items should not be fed (intentionally or unintentionally) to dogs. This list is, of course, incomplete because we can not possibly list everything your dog should not eat. Items to avoid Reasons to avoid Alcoholic beverages Can cause intoxication, coma, and death. Baby food Can contain onion powder, which can be toxic to dogs. (Please see onion below.) Can also result in nutritional deficiencies, if fed in large amounts. Bones from fish, poultry, or other meat sources Can cause obstruction or laceration of the digestive system. Cat food Generally too high in protein and fats. Chocolate, coffee, tea, and other caffeine Contain caffeine, theobromine, or theophylline, which can be toxic and affect the heart and nervous systems. Citrus oil extracts Can cause vomiting. Fat trimmings Can cause pancreatitis. Grapes and raisins Contain an unknown toxin, which can damage the kidneys. There have been no problems associated with grape seed extract. Hops Unknown compound causes panting, increased heart rate, elevated temperature, seizures, and death. Human vitamin supplements containing iron Can damage the lining of the digestive system and be toxic to the other organs including the liver and kidneys. Large amounts of liver Can cause Vitamin A toxicity, which affects muscles and bones. Macadamia nuts Contain an unknown toxin, which can affect the digestive and nervous systems and muscle. Marijuana Can depress the nervous system, cause vomiting, and changes in the heart rate. Milk and other dairy products Some adult dogs and cats do not have sufficient amounts of the enzyme lactase, which breaks down the lactose in milk. This can result in diarrhea. Lactose-free milk products are available for pets. Moldy or spoiled food, garbage Can contain multiple toxins causing vomiting and diarrhea and can also affect other organs. Mushrooms Can contain toxins, which may affect multiple systems in the body, cause shock, and result in death. Onions and garlic (raw, cooked, or powder) Contain sulfoxides and disulfides, which can damage red blood cells and cause anemia. Cats are more susceptible than dogs. Garlic is less toxic than onions.

Potato, rhubarb, and tomato leaves; potato and tomato stems Contain oxalates, which can affect the digestive, nervous, and urinary systems. This is more of a problem in livestock. Raw eggs Contain an enzyme called avidin, which decreases the absorption of biotin (a B vitamin). This can lead to skin and hair coat problems. Raw eggs may also contain Salmonella. Raw fish Can result in a thiamine (a B vitamin) deficiency leading to loss of appetite, seizures, and in severe cases, death. More common if raw fish is fed regularly. Salt If eaten in large quantities it may lead to electrolyte imbalances. String Can become trapped in the digestive system; called a "string foreign body." Sugary foods Can lead to obesity, dental problems, and possibly diabetes mellitus. Table scraps (in large amounts) Table scraps are not nutritionally balanced. They should never be more than 10% of the diet. Fat should be trimmed from meat; bones should not be fed. Tobacco Contains nicotine, which affects the digestive and nervous systems.

wearing the same dress as someone at a party....

Have you ever experienced going to a party and finding someone there who is wearing exactly the same dress you are wearing? What did you do? Did you go home to change? Did you hide and try to stay as far away from that person? Here are some tips. You never know when this will happen to you especially when you buy your clothes from boutiques and malls where everybody is free to buy anything. In order to minimize the "embarrassment" of wearing an identical dress with someone at a party, this is one thing that you could do. Always expect the unexpected. Before going to the party see to it that you style your hair differently, wear nice shoes that accentuate rather than match the color of your dress ( same is true with your purse), and wear accessories that will bring out the elegance of the dress. Yes, it's not only the dress that creates the total "winner" effect. It's what you wear along with the dress. So if it happens that somebody else is wearing the same dress, it is going to be a matter of , "Who wears it better?" With your accessories and awesome shoes and bag, you can actually create a different look that says, "I wear it better"
