BIOGRAPHY
Eric de Guia (born October 3, 1942 in Baguio City),
better known as Kidlat Tahimik, is a filmmaker,
writer, artist and actor whose films are commonly
associated through their critiques of neocolonialism
with the Third World Cinema movement.
Tahimik studied at the University of Pennsylvania' s
Wharton School of Business, earned a Master in
Business Administration, and worked as a researcher
for the Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD) in Paris from 1968 to 1972 before
"returning home to be a filmmaker and ending as a
G-stringed (bahag) adopted son of Ifugao."
Tahimik grew up in Baguio City, Philippines, a summer
resort community established in the presence of
several U.S. Military bases. This experience was a
weighty influence on the themes of his films, most
notably the semi-autobiographic al Perfumed Nightmare
(1977) and Turumba (1981). That latter of these two
provides some insight into the circumstances that
brought him to Europe and into the presence of
filmmaker Werner Herzog, who along with director
Francis Ford Coppola and his American Zoetrope Films
was instrumental in helping to release Perfumed
Nightmare in America. This groundbreaking film went on
to win the international film critics jury prize at
the Berlin Film festival, as well as the Catholic Jury
Prize and the Ecumenical Jury prize.

Vipassana Meditation this April 2009

Vipassana, which means to see things as they really are, is one of India 's most ancient techniques of meditation. It was rediscovered by Gotama Buddha more than 2500 years ago and was taught by him as a universal remedy for universal ills, i.e., an Art Of Living.


This non-sectarian technique aims for the total eradication of mental impurities and the resultant highest happiness of full liberation. Healing, not merely the curing of diseases, but the essential healing of human suffering, is its purpose.


Vipassana is a way of self-transformation through self-observation. It focuses on the deep interconnection between mind and body, which can be experienced directly by disciplined attention to the physical sensations that form the life of the body, and that continuously interconnect and condition the life of the mind. It is this observation- based, self-exploratory journey to the common root of mind and body that dissolves mental impurity, resulting in a balanced mind full of love and compassion.


The scientific laws that operate one's thoughts, feelings, judgments and sensations become clear. Through direct experience, the nature of how one grows or regresses, how one produces suffering or frees oneself from suffering is understood. Life becomes characterized by increased awareness, non-delusion, self-control and peace.


A 10-day residential course of instruction is an opportunity to learn this technique and experience the benefits of a period of intensive meditation.


DATE: APRIL 1-12, 2009

LOCATION: Sico Farm, Dasmarinas, Cavite

Fats and Sugar

You need some fat in your diet because it provides your body with lots of energy, helps it to absorb some vitamins, and provides essential fatty acids, such as omega-3 and omega-6. But it is important to eat the right types, such as polyunsaturated and monounsaturated, and to try and avoid saturated and trans fats.

Unhealthy fats

Saturated and trans fats are generally solid at room temperature and are primarily from animal sources (except fish). They are found in lard, butter, hard margarine, cheese, whole-fat milk, and anything that contains these ingredients, such as cakes, chocolate, cookies, pies, and pastries. Saturated fat is also the white fat you can see on red meat and underneath poultry skin. The less saturated fat you eat, the better it is for your health—a high fat intake has been linked with an increased risk of coronary heart disease.

Healthy fats

Unsaturated fats—polyunsaturated and monounsaturated—are usually liquid at room temperature. They are a much healthier alternative to saturated fat, helping to fuel the body, transport nutrients around the body, and also to protect your heart.
Unsaturated fats generally come from vegetable sources (and some fish). These sources include vegetable oils such as sesame, sunflower, soy, and olive; plus nuts, seeds, avocadoes, and oily fish, such as mackerel, sardines, and salmon. However, although these fats are healthy you only need a small amount to get the
health benefits you need.

Some simple ways to cut down on unhealthy fats

• Snack on unsalted nuts and seeds instead of cookies and chips.
  
• Spread mashed avocado or hummus on toast, instead of butter.
  
• Choose oily fish instead of breaded and fried fish.
  
• For a change, mash olive oil into potatoes instead of butter.
  
• Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice over salads in place of
  creamy salad dressings.
  
• Nibble fresh or dried fruit rather than cookies and chocolate.
  
• Trim any visible fat off meat and poultry.
  
• Buy lean cuts of meat.
  
• Ditch the frying pan—try poaching, steaming, broiling,
  or baking.
  
• Swap whole-fat milk for low-fat or fat-free alternatives.
  
• If you use lard, butter, or margarine, switch to plant-based oils and low-fat spreads.
  

New drug in Schools...

Please pass this on even if you do not have kids in school. Parents should
know about this killer drug.


This is a new drug known as 'strawberry quick '.
There is a very scary thing going on in the schools right now that we all
need to b e a ware of.

There is a type of crystal meth going around that looks like strawberry
pop rocks (the candy that sizzles and 'pops' in your mouth). It also
smells like strawberry and it is being handed out to kids in school yards.
They are calling it strawberry meth or strawberry quick.

Kids are ingesting this thinking that it is candy and being rushed off to
the hospital in dire condition. It also comes in chocolate, peanut butter,
cola, cherry, grape and orange.

Please instruct your children not to accept candy from strangers and even
not to accept candy that looks like this from a friend (who may have been
given it and believed it is candy) and to take any that they may have to a
teacher, principal, etc. immediately.
Pass this email on to as many people as you can (even if they don't have
kids) so that we can raise awareness and hopefully prevent any tragedies
from occurring.
