Pinoys to get working holiday visa to New Zealand



Pinoys to get working holiday visa to New Zealand
ANC – 9 hours ago
Want to visit New Zealand?

Things have just gotten easier starting this week as young Filipinos will be able to spend a year Down Under under a working holiday visa scheme.

The arrangement, which will take effect on Feb. 5, would allow Filipinos aged 18 to 30 to work, study or stay as tourists in New Zealand for 12 months.

New Zealanders can also enter the Philippines under the same scheme.

To be eligible for the working holiday visa, Filipinos must have the following:

- a Philippine passport that is valid for at least three months after your planned departure from New Zealand
- tertiary qualification granted in respect of a minimum of three years’ full-time university study
- level of proficiency in English that is assessed as at least functional
- minimum of NZ$4,200 available funds to meet living costs
- medical and comprehensive hospitalization insurance for the length of your stay
- return ticket, or enough funds to buy a return ticket

Filipinos are also not allowed to bring children with them if they are to enter New Zealand under the scheme. Filipinos who have earlier been approved a visa under a similar scheme are also not elligible for this visa.

Both countries earlier put a cap of 100 visas for each country per year.

The holiday visa scheme was signed during President Benigno Aquino's state visit to New Zealand in October 2012.

This is the first agreement of its kind entered into by the Philippines.

They've come up with the Top 25 Worst Passwords for 2013 (See below):

  • 1. 123456
    2. password
    3. 12345678
    4. qwerty
    5. abc123
    6. 123456789
    7. 111111

    2. It should be a mix of letters & numbers.
    3. It should be a random words strung together instead of common phrases.

How a Detox Really Affects Your Body


How a Detox Really Affects Your Body

By Laura Beil, Women's Health



 

Stripped of essential nutrients, detox diets can be downright dangerous

Thinking of signing up for a fruit juice cleanse? You might first consider how your body reacts to a week with no protein or fat and fewer than 1,000 calories a day.

After the first sip
Your brain's hunger signals are answered with a dump of pure fruit-juice sugar. And don't get any ideas--veggie-based body cleanses aren't any healthier.

The sweet stuff prompts the pancreas to squirt out insulin, which moves sugar--now in your blood in the form of glucose--into your cells.

After 30 minutes
As your cells suck up the glucose, your blood sugar level can start to plummet and you may feel dizzy.

Meanwhile, lacking enough calories, your body is operating off its supply of glycogen, a form of short-term energy stored in the liver and muscles. (Shedding pounds doesn't have to be about deprivation!

After two days

With each shot of juice, your insulin levels skyrocket, then crash. Your glycogen stores are pretty much gone, leaving your tank on empty--and you feeling weak and listless.

Since you're getting only about half the calories you need, your body draws on two long-term power sources: triglycerides, a type of energy stored in fat cells (woo-hoo!), and protein, taken straight from your muscles (oops). You begin to lose muscle mass, even if you're still exercising every day.
After three days
Your brain is not happy. It enters into semi-starvation mode and gobbles ketones, fuel that comes from the breakdown of fat. Ketones work, but they're like low-grade gasoline; as a result, you may feel unfocused or irritable. (Any "mental clarity" is likely due to a strong placebo effect.)

Sans a fresh protein infusion, your brain is also lacking amino acids, the raw materials that neurotransmitters need to maintain your mood. If you're prone to depression, you may start feeling blue.
The proteins in your shrinking muscles break down into ammonia and uric acid, unwelcome chemicals that invade your bloodstream. Now your kidneys are busy detoxing your detox.

Stay near the bathroom: The juice's high carbohydrate load causes a surfeit of water to enter the intestines. That extra H2O in your gut means you're apt to get diarrhea.

After four days
With no food to digest, your small intestine feels ignored. Its villi--the rows of tiny fibers that move food elements into the blood-start to atrophy. Your diarrhea may get worse, leading to dehydration... and there goes your rosy glow.

On the eighth day
Solid food! But uh-oh--you've lost muscle. Even if you go back to your regular eating habits, you now have less muscle mass to burn those calories; instead, the calories are more likely to be turned into fat. (Hence, one reason yo-yo dieting makes it harder to lose weight: Your reduced muscle-to-fat ratio messes up your metabolism and makes calories much harder to work off.)

Asian with Blue Eyes


Last day while surfing the net I saw an article about Asian having a light eye color. (gray, green, and blue) It sounds awkward right? But yes it is possible all eyes colors except the brown are genetic abnormality because the normal color of our eyes is brown, (you will ask but there is a black) no, even it appears black that is brown, (dark brown) the color of the eyes depends on the melanin production means the more melanin that being produce the darker color you will have, the lesser melanin that being produce the lighter color you will have. There's two another reasons why black or Asian people having a light color of the eye. First maybe they have a westernized way our ancestor or predecessors prolli married a white western or someone and it got mixed in your gene pool. Second is Disease which ALBINISM - is a congenital disorder characterized by the complete or partial absence of pigment in the skin, hair and eyes due to absence or defect of an enzyme involved in the production of melanin. (from wiki.) So every race can have a light color of eye. But most of the time eye color is changing when we grow old. When you have have a blue eye when you are still young it is not permanent yet until you rich 7 years old, when your eyes is fully develop. There is a big chance to become darker or turn into light brown in worse cases.  Here's some people has a light color of the eye:

                                                                                       Kazakh

 
 
   I think this girl is Mongolian
 
 
 
pure breed malays with blue eyes, genetic mutation
 



 
 
THEN THE HIGHLIGHT FILIPINO

Hello I am here again to blog about my fascination in plastic surgery. I know that I am not a handsome guy that is why for a very long time I always wanted to undergo to a so called plastic sugery but unfortunately I am not financialy capable to do this and most especially I have a pre-existing condition. The reason why I want plastic surgery is I have an assymetric facial bone structure in cheeck and jaw and in my eye shape also. I dont want to be hypocrit to say Im not insecure to others with good face I mean Im just a human being to feel this emotion, just respect my thoughts about plastic surgery coz I know that this is the only option to all my imperfection. Yeah! I do felt insecure also to those people who dont feel INSECURE towards other they love for what they are, and they dont care about other might says about them. I wish I am like that also! Grrr!!!

 
 This is me after photoshop. I don't have the original pictures as I'm sick seeing it.

What I want to fix to myself are:

Cheeck bone (i want to shave them off, Im so aick seeing them everyday
Jaw bone (very angular)
Eyes (i want to make it more bigger and i want to fix it because it is loop-sided
Nose (i have a flat nose, wide alar, and base)
Chin (very wide and short)
Acne scars
