PROGRAM EFA HOSTS SYNTOPIA 29 AUGUST 2008

09.00 AM SLT : Start real life show at Pastoe Design Center, Utrecht (can be watched in Second Life)

10.30 AM SLT: Start Second Life show, Virtual Holland (can be watched in Real Life)

11.00 AM SLT: Official graduation of Josine Vermeij in Utrecht

This Friday Josine and I will present our collection, both in real life and in Second Life. After the show there will be an exhibition until September 23rd. In real life the show takes place at 9.00 SLT/ 18.00 CET at Pastoe Design Centre, in Utrecht. In Second Life the models of Ewing Fashion Agency will showcase the virtual designs at 10.30 SLT/ 19.30 CET in Virtual Holland.

We hope to see you at one of the events, either in real life or in Second Life. By being at either one of the locations does not mean you have to miss out on the other (that wouldn’t suit my concept): on the day of the show there will be a live connection between the two worlds, so in Second Life you can watch the real life show and in real life you can also watch the Second Life show.

If you have any questions please contact Aideen Sideways.

Regards, Aideen & Josine

I went to Manila to file for my first ever nursing boards. PRC was like hell and the RP professionals were like little demons. It was very ugly.

However, I had my share of blessings. A big thanks to my rockstar cousin, Kuya [big brother] Nap, and our family friend, Kuya Jaypee. They were amazing. If you have any concern at all for me, you should also be thanking them because if not for them I'd probably be living inside the buildings of PRC for a week. They were not only my companions but they were also my nanny, checkers, and fixers, plus Kuya Nap was a great financer.

And oh, I'd also like to ask for your prayers because now I definitely, most desperately need to pass the coming nursing exams. For one, I am deeply motivated now to start my reviews because I certainly do not want ever to have a repeat appearance in the middle of the PRC unbelivable lines, and two my Kuya Nap and Kuya Jaypee already celebrated the results of my boards.

After we finished at the PRC, we went to MOA to have lunch, late afternoon. We settled at the Congo Grill and I ate lunch and they drank buckets and buckets of light beer. I thought it was because we were already celebrating Kuya Nap's approaching birthday, but he said we were celebrating ther esults of the boards - and the results were high mind you, so I desperately need your prayers okay? LOL.

Even when the thought of PRC was very sour in my mind, that day had its fun times too. These are some of the lines that probably made my day.

KUYA JAYPEE: Magpagawa kaya tayo ng diploma dito sa Recto? Kahit nursing lang ulit, sa magandang school. [Let's have a fake diploma in nursing made, one from a good school.]

ME: Dapat pang doctor na lang yung ipagawa natin. [Maybe we should have a fake medicine diploma made.]

KUYA NAP: Ayoko non. Gusto ko Diploma ng Master of The Universe. Pwede ba yun? [I don't want that. I want a Diploma in Master of The Universe. Is that possible?]

ME: [laughing] Sino naman pipirma ng Master of The Universe? [Who will sign the diploma in Master of The Universe?]

KUYA NAP: Ewan ko, gusto ko ng ganun. Sa tagal mo kasi sa pila namemorize na namin yung mga courses na available sa balckboard. Ang dami palang pwedeng imaster. Ako gusto ko Master of The Universe. [I don't know, but I want one. You were so long in that line we've memorized all the available courses posted on the blackboard. I never thought there were so many courses you can get a master's degree from. But I want a Master of The Universe title.]

KUYA JAYPEE: Meron palang course na Unknown! [I never knew there was such a course called Unknown!]

ME: Ano naman yun? [What's that?]

KUYA NAP: Yun siguro yung pang Master of The Universe. [Maybe that's the Master of The Universe course.]

ME: Wala namang ganun eh! [There's no such thing!]

KUYA NAP: Meron. Nakalagay nga dun eh. 00000 yung course code. [There is. 00000 is the course code.]

Tips on how to choose and make a successful business By Kuya Nap

1. It should fall on your line of interest.

2. You should have a vast and thourough knowledge of the ins and outs of it.

3. You should be passionate about it.

Based on these criteria, he figured out what business he wanted to start: a beer house.

I have many pictures with regards to the activities that happened this day but I am too lazy to find where my USB cable is so I still cannot transfer the pictures from my phone to the laptop. Maybe I can post them next time.

For now, this is the only picture I can post:

So maybe you have a good idea how much I hate his chicks.

"We would encourage everyone to examine their own individual risk and take steps to reduce it by adjusting their lifestyle"

Dr Mike Knapton
British Heart Foundation

Hear, hear! You may have missed this story on Sunday, but, in short, “Nottingham and Sheffield universities' analysis of almost 12,000 patients found men from the age of 48 and women from 57 would benefit from the drug” (the drug in this case is aspirin).

If you take supplements, then do watch your intake of vitamin E, often found in an antioxidant formulation, or sometimes in multivitamins. Vitamin E can thin the blood and taken with aspirin, there is a risk of the blood becoming too thin leading to potential bleeding. Rather than take supplements without advice or monitoring, I do recommend that before any supplementation programme is undertaken, an appropriate professional is consulted. Nutrition therapists are a good place to start as they are trained in the use of supplements, but do be wary of any that suggest you take a high level without proper justification. I have often heard of people taking dozens of supplements every day, having read or been advised that taking X reduces the risk of Y, or simply feeling that they may need more of a mineral. Just because vitamin and mineral supplements are considered ‘natural’, that they are always safe. Taking a nutrient in isolation can influence levels of other nutrients, and so should be taken in a measured way.

Swazi anger at royal wives' trip

Nine of King Mswati's wives left last week to go shopping

Hundreds of Swazi women have marched through the streets of the capital to protest about a shopping trip taken by nine of the king's 13 wives.

They chartered a plane last week to go to Europe and the Middle East.

The BBC's Thulani Mthethwa says the protesters handed in a petition to the finance ministry saying the money could have been better spent.

"We can't afford a shopping trip when a quarter of the nation lives on food aid," they chanted.

Swaziland, Africa's last absolute monarchy, is one of the poorest countries in the world and more than 40% of the population is believed to be infected with HIV.

We could need to keep that money for ARVs Protest slogan

The march was organised by Positive Living, a non-governmental organization for women with Aids.

Our correspondent says there was a cross-section of women on the march from professionals to rural representatives.

"We need to keep that money for ARVs [anti-retrovirals]," was anther slogan shouted by the women.

King Mswati III, 40, has been criticized in the past for requesting public money to pay for new palaces, a personal jet and luxury cars.

News of his wives' trip broke in the local press a day after they left, our reporter says.

Earlier this week, senior princes warned the women not to march, saying it defied Swazi tradition.
