Bladder Health

Have you found yourself peeing even in the most inconvenient late hour or worst, so early in the morning? You might be paranoid thinking you had a very serious problem about your health, will it be UTI (urinary track infection), bladder failure or worst STD (sexually transmitted disease). Well, after you manage to calm yourself, here are some health answers about your pee-related inquiries... Read on =)

Question # 1
There are times that I try to hold it, can it harm me?
If you're thinking that your bladder might stretch out or worst, explode, you are totally wrong. Your bladder is really an expandable organ. The worst that can happen to you if you hold your pee, is you might eventually wet yourself.

Can you imagine yourself peeing at that? =)
Question # 2
I find myself waking up in the middle of the night a couple of times just to pee, is this normal?

If you don't feel pain or burning while you pee or your lower ab doesn't hurt, yes it is completely normal. But if you feel those, it might be UTI. Your late night pee was probably triggered by how many fluids you intake before you sleep. Thus, if you want to avoid these night time pee galore, try not to eat or drink at least 4 hours before you sleep.

Question # 3
Can I treat my suspected-UTI if I feel it coming without consulting or before I consult my ob?
If you feel that there are symptoms that you might have UTI, drink a lot of water, it helps to dilute the bacteria. You should consider an over-the-counter UTI remedy that can help you with the discomfort. However, it is best that you consult an ob, UTI can only be cured with antibiotics.

Question # 4
Embarrassed to say that my butt crack itches regularly, what should i do?
It may be caused by an allergy, maybe from a scented soap or the fabric of your undies. Though sometimes, this might be triggered by sweat or feces left on your skin, which attracts irritating bacteria.
More often than not, there are really no known cause of an anal itch. It may be just a mild itch then you scratch it then you were caught in the cycle. So next time you feel that your behind needs scratching, and you already know that it is not caused by allergy, better run into a nearest drugstore and purchase over-the-counter antihistamine gel. This will reduce the itching, then soon before you know it, you're not scratching your butt anymore.

The Most Expensive Philippine Coin Ever Sold

I personally am fond of collecting old coins. I have an ample collection, and decent if I may add, of Philippine old coins. Though I collect coins for a hobby, some people kept on asking me how I acquire those coins and if I’m selling one. So in some cases, when I visit the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (Central Bank of the Philippines), I always try to order an additional from my own to sell or give it as a gift to my friends. I always wonder, what Philippine coin is the most expensive ever sold, and how much. Priced at $22, 000 or Php 1,038,136.00 as of this writing ($1 = Php 47.19), the 1903 San Francisco Mint fifty centavos is perhaps the most expensive United States-Philippines coin ever sold. Only 2 specimens have reported and only one formally auctioned for the price mentioned. Do not mistake this one for the common 1903 Philadelphia Mint fifty centavos. This coin is an absolute rarity. How this coin surfaced? The story behind that incident is still a myste

The Great Badjang or Giant Taro

As we try to come up with things to do to make our days productive this Pandemic, a lot of people are leaning towards Gardening. Here in the Philippines, people are becoming crazy with a certain plant. It has large leaves which resembles an Elephant’s ear. Badjang, as we call it here in the Philippines, scientifically called Alocasia macrorrhizos, is a species of flowering plant in the arum family that it is native to rainforests of Island Southeast Asia, New Guinea, and Queensland and has long been cultivated here in the Philippines, many Pacific islands, and elsewhere in the tropics. It is also famous as Giant Taro. The giant taro was originally domesticated in the Philippines, but are known from wild specimens to early Austronesians in Taiwan. From the Philippines, they spread outwards to the rest of Island Southeast Asia and eastward to Oceania where it became one of the staple crops of Pacific Islanders. They are one of the four main species of aroids (taros) cultivated by Austron

Hanamichi Sakuragi: In Real Life

I am not that young, though I am not that old to have watched the Manga Series Slum Dunk. A lot of people is being fascinated with the game of basketball. Almost everyone knows how to play the game. Maybe, just maybe, NBA really popularized the sports. Apparently, one story caught my attention, and surely, it is really worth to tell ;-) Slam Dunk (スラムダンク Suramu Danku?) is a sports-themed manga series written by Takehiko Inoue about a basketball team from Shōhoku High School. It was first serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump in Japan from 1990 to 1996 and had also been adapted into an anime series by Toei Animation which had been broadcast worldwide, enjoying much popularity particularly in Japan, several other Asian countries and Europe. Inoue later used basketball as a central theme in two subsequent manga titles: Buzzer Beater and Real. In 2010, Inoue received special commendations from the Japan Basketball Association for helping popularize basketball in Japan.
