A month ago, my father, mother, my wife and I were at my grandma's house to spend the Sunday there. My uncles and aunts were there too. My uncle who happens to be a doctor, showed us his new bracelet. It looked ordinary at first but it includes several magnets attached to it. My uncle said that it has certain medical benefits and may even relieve back pains and other discomforts. The sterling silver bracelets had a lot of designs for men and women. Some silver bangles for women had gold plating in it and an elegant design. Turns out that my uncle was actually selling these sterling silver jewelry at 500 pesos each, so, the entire clan bought one for every single member of the family.

Months before my uncle introduced the silver accessories to the family, my friend was invited to a multilevel marketing forum about a titanium bracelet that is said to give the wearer extra strength. I really do not believe it. They put the bracelet on the back of their necks and demonstrate to their prospects that it makes the bearer stronger than he was before. I think it was a scam because people who wanted to buy the titanium bracelet had to pay at least 7,000 pesos for membership and the bracelets. The flaw in their marketing strategy is that they did not explain how titanium makes one feel and actually stronger and several other medical benefits the bracelet has. As opposed to the magnetic silver jewelries, magnets have been used as alternative treatment for some illnesses and may improve certain conditions.

Personally, sleeping problems I have actually vanished and I was also sleeping better. My wife's sleeping problems were also cured because i have observed that she no longer have this insomnia type symptom with her.

My family and I went to Singapore last October 26, 2008. The trip was intended as a gift for our Son because he liked animals so much and Singapore was the nearest country that has an almost complete variety of fishes and other animals. As for me, I really wanted to visit the Songs of The Sea show because i heard that it was the greatest show they have in Singapore, and it is. On our first day in Singapore, we went to the Singapore Zoo. The Zoo was huge and has different kinds of animals that I just have seen for the first time. They have White Tigers, a pygmy hippopotamus, a tapir, and a whole lot more. We got stuck at the hippo's sanctuary because it was raining really hard and was impossible to continue the walking. After a few hours the rain stopped, and we were glad to continue the tour.

In the evening of our first day, we went to the Night Safari just beside the Singapore Zoo. The Night Safari is the first Night Zoo in the world. It features several Nocturnal animals like hyenas, Tarsiers, and many more. It also shows what day time animals do during the night. We took the a tour bus this time because we were afraid that it would rain again. There were lots of people that time that we had to fall in line to to ride the vehicle. The Night Safari is also the most popular Zoo in Singapore. We got off at the first stop in the hopes that we may see more animals along the way. We got lost, but soon found our way just in time for the Show. The show was nice because of the funny host. Oh! the animals were great too. Sadly, Flash Photography is not allowed in the Night Safari.
