Do you have a dirty mind?

Christmas shopping place was Avenida Rizal. Nandoon sa pinaka dulo yung isang maliit na department store na ang pangalan ay Shoemart. Katabi ng isang hotel (Tower Hotel 'ata) na may revolving resto. Malapit din dito yung Good Earth Emporium, na mas malaki pa sa Shoemart.

Sa Good Earth Emporium din kami bumibili ng Christmas gifts. Kung wala kami makita to complete the list ay sa COD Cubao ang takbo.

How many MTC members have you met personally?

Sasabihin ko na 'maliit' lang pala ang problema niya

Sa tingin ko, mga 10 rounds na sila ng fubu ni user above you...

Mukha nga dahil lawit na nga ang dila ng fubu niya

Gaano ka tagal na kayo ng Fubu mo?

Never had the chance to try it although skateboarding was the closest thing.

Would you like to live way past the age of 80?

How many times a day do you log into MTC......and which Forum do you first look at for updates?

Docs, I had originally posted this in the Watching your BP forum.

I hope I can get more professional opinons regarding the topic of taking BP Medication for life.

Thanks in advance.

I'm 45 years old and have been taking a combination of Lipitor 10mg (Atorvastatin) & Concor 5mg (Bisoprolo fumarate) for the past 8 years now and I am able to maintain my BP in the normal levels. Liver test along with other monitoring tests done every 6-8 months show the results are within normal ranges. I try to do my daily 30 min cardio exercise whenever I can but not as frequently as required. I go to my doctor for my monthly BP checkups and prescription for the drugs. I have been told that these medication are to be taken for life.

Doc, my question is can I stop taking these medicaton right away and just watch my diet and do regular exercise?

hypertension is part environmental part genetic. check the DASH diet on the net as that is the only scientifically proven diet to reduce BP levels in a randomized controlled trial. DASH diet plus 30 mins aerobic exercise (yung pinapawisan at tumataas ang heart rate) 4 to 6 times a week reduces BP levels even more.

Thanks for the info.

Will check the DASH diet soon and try it out myself.

I learned about this site after looking for similar discussion groups or websites on the night life activities in the Quezon Avenue area. I'm based in Riyadh and the Internet sites viewed here are filtered by the authorities and anything that is contrary to their Islamic beliefs is blocked. So that leaves me with very few locations to open up that is worth spending the time on and being a part of it as well. I have just recently joined MTC and I'm glad that it has so far always been up and running whenever I log in.
