It's very seldom now that we at Kwento Ni Toto shares something as heartwarming as this video ad created by Coca-Cola. The ad clearly shows that we thanked most of the people around us that make our lives happy everyday but none of us seems to know that person... and it is true. With this ad it enlightens everyone to at least try to know the name of that person. To them, being recognized by their names is a priceless joy.

Though for some this is thought as a staged documentary style ad, still this is an eye-opener for everyone and it is a heartwarming ad. Let us all continue to thank those people around us. After all we are all humans.

I believed that the new section of Yahoo! Philippines, the Yahoo! She was launched during the Women's Day and with that span of time it was already making a buzz, especially with one of its article "Women Have Better Sex With An Uncircumcised Partner".  Hmm...

I got curious about this topic this morning when people from Yahoo! Philippines visited the studio of Jam 88.3. It was a short discussion and introduction about the newest section of Yahoo! but made a big question mark on all Filipino men.

The basis of the article where taken from the recent study conducted by the International Journal of Epidemiology last January 2012.  It shows that both men and women have more sexual satisfaction when the male partner is uncircumcised.  The article also disclosed that in the world only 30% of male population are circumcised.  It is also added that in the Philippines 93% of the males have gone through the ritual of circumcision.

In my opinion, circumcision were already introduced way back in history and I don't think that it is a barbaric act, even the bible requires it so.  I think it is much cleaner.  Another thing, when it comes to pleasure and satisfaction perhaps both partners can achieve that goal if they are more open to each other and knows what exactly they want.  It's just a matter of communication and body language.

Since today is Valentine's Day, I have read, collated and gathered some hearty informations for everyone.  Enjoy reading and I hope you'll get some few learnings about the heart.

What is more pleasing to see in the morning? Well, what else but a beautiful smile from the people you love and the people around you. Smile is like a contagious disease that can easily spread to everybody. Not only that it is contagious but it is also like a steroid that can boost one’s self esteem and energy. When everything seems down and hopeless one smile is good enough to ease and lighten up everything. It gives hope and casts a bright radial feeling through the darkest moment of a person.

A smile can also attract good vibes and positive energy. Leaving a positive effect to everyone it touches making the entire day worth living unlike the loner who won’t give and get any good vibes into your life. Learn to smile and make it a habit. If you want your day to be fruitful and pleasant, give a smile in the morning and everything will just be fine.

Aside from smile there’s also one that can really make you livelier. Laughter is one of human attributes that can make any person feel better. Laughter or laugh can exercise your facial muscle and even some parts of the body. Laughter is well known for the phrase “Laughter is the best medicine”. Scientifically it is proven that laughter can really boost man’s ability to heal itself. There are a certain glands in the human body that excretes something to help in the fast recovery of the patients.

Life is sweet if those smile and laughter are seen to every person in the world. Just like what I’ve experienced in my life, a smile from my son’s face can easily ease all my worries and body aches. A smile from my wife can really brighten my day. Both of them teach me the meaning of smile and laughter. Both of them give me a boost to move forward in facing all the problems in life.

Others may have tried to buy their laughter but nothing can beat or replace the genuine laugh from a genuine event that caused the laughter, especially the laugh of a little kid, the giggles and laugh of a baby, and laugh of a wife when cuddled.

For what ever reason we all need to smile and we all need to laugh. It’s either to ease the load or just simply to laugh and smile. That is life and that’s we experienced.

We always face different facts about life. Some of them are beneficial and some are lessons to learn. Living life is not as simple as we think of it. There are ups and downs that we need to deal with. As I was growing or should I say acquiring numbers on my age, there are things that I learn in life.

We all need to learn and most of the time experiences are the best teacher in life. Of course our parents did teach us when we were kids, they have been our teacher most of our existence. But there are things that need to be experienced to realize the effect of that certain actions and decisions.

Now, for this article of life, I’ll be sharing the one virtue in life that can and will really help you in your struggle in life. It is Patience. I don’t know if most of the people know about this phrase that “Patience is a virtue”. There are many definition of virtue but all of them only focus on a certain meaning and it is the moral excellence and righteousness or goodness of man. Before this, I didn’t actually know why patience is considered as virtue all I know is that being patient can really reward you better ones.

As I was walking through this life stream, my way of thinking has been sharpened by time and events. Indeed patience is a virtue because we have to endure the splashing waves of problems that we encounter. Making us more cautious in all our decisions and avoiding us to jump into action. As a result a rewarding turns of events because of just being patient enough to wait.

One good example is how the guerilla became known of their tactics. They were able to accomplish their missions because they are patient enough to wait for the right timing. Enduring distraction and focusing only one thing on their mind, to complete their task. Other good examples are the mothers. I praise them for their patience in bearing their child. Imagine having that baby inside the womb for nine months which grows bigger and bigger as they click the clock to come out of that womb. The reward is priceless.
Other examples are our prayers, if we’re not prayerful enough and we are impatient none of those prayers will be answered because we intend to rush everything but if we’re patient enough to wait, the answer is much greater than what we have asked for. God doesn’t only sprinkle us with blessing instead He showers us with abundance.
