There are a lot of teenagers going into drugs, and I just pity them moreover their parents. I really don't get it, why do they have to go into things like this, this will not just ruin their life but their family lives too. I found this
alcohol detox center in the web and I am just amzed on how they take care of their patients. Their facility looks more like a hotel or a rest house. What makes them different is that they offer gender-specific residential treatment on a unique co-ed campus. Their residents are house with age-approppriate companions, are set up with buddy system. They have been helping people for 23 years already to get out of this bad vice. Their 'real deal' approach has been proven to be the most effective way. They provide non-medical and medically managed detoxification (using Suboxone, Subutex, and Buprenorphine when appropriate) and primary residential treatment.

What 2009 may bring?
The Year of the Ox begins on 26th January 2009.
For the Rooster, the year of the Ox offers a pleasing and restful period.
You will be able to build on the foundations already laid in recent years and progress will continue to be positive if a little slow. There will be times when you might feel more competitive and ambitious than normal and you will eventually reach the aims you set for yourself for this year.
There may, however, be one or two small challenges, perhaps as other people oppose your ideas. These challenges you should be able to overcome with determination. So persevere. Don’t give up at the first hurdle otherwise you will not be giving yourself a true chance to make something of yourself. Success will come through having faith in your abilities.
The slow start of the year will be deceptive as the months will get better as time wears on and good fortune is suggested. However, the very start of the year finds you revising old procedures and clearing up matters of the past.
Finance and Investment for the Rooster in 2009
Further still, there is a suggestion that it will be money and possessions that lie at the root of your problems. Cheques that were supposed to arrive are likely to be delayed and you may have to return recent purchases because they are faulty or not the quality you paid for.
The good news is that there is plenty to suggest that this is a time of new beginnings. By March, you might start looking at new investment ideas and start thinking about your long-term security. You could be a wee bit secretive, hiding your intentions from your partner or someone who has a right to know what is going on. Instead, talk your ideas over and they could offer some valuable and profitable suggestions. Generally, joint concerns may move at a slower pace than you would prefer but be patient as they are moving in the right direction.
General Trends for Roosters in 2009
Because you are so determined to reach certain ambitions, other areas in your life could possibly suffer. If your loved-ones complain that you are not giving them the time or attention they deserve, be sure to take them seriously. The more you ignore them, the more chance there is that you will drive them away.
They will look to other areas for the comfort, company and understanding they need. This is the area where you should be careful in this, the year of the Ox, relationships need careful handling if you want to keep them running smoothly.
Mid-Year Trends 2009 for Rooster Borns
Around July, you might wonder: who do you trust at a time when advice is coming at you from all directions. Conflicting information makes you wonder who to believe and what to do for the best. During the middle few months of the year, you have two options whenever you feel too confused to think straight: you can either put your faith in someone who came through for you in the past. (They are unlikely to let you down now.) Or you could delay important decisions until the end of August when everything will look much clearer.
End of the Year Trends 2009 for Roosters
October is the month to watch what you say. If you don’t pay attention and your mind starts to wander, you might let something slip in front of someone who you were trying to keep a secret from.
And then, correspondence during the last few months of the year will hold a degree of urgency and should not be swept aside even when other concerns threaten to get in the way. Make some time to reply to letters, answer e-mails and follow up messages left on your answer-phone.
Deal with anything important yourself as it is a time when you can’t always rely on others to do what they promise. The more self-sufficient you are, the less likely it is that you will be disappointed.
The year ends with you seeing a number of positive improvements and you will have overcome a number of challengers to get this far. You will have a lot to be proud of and if you managed to use your charm to its advantage, relationships will also show strong signs of improving.

Alcoholism
Alcoholism is an on-going battle here in the Philippines. Filipinos like to drink regularly that's way some developed drinking as a habit. Most of the time you'll see a group of men drinking beer on the street, I do hate to see them there. It ha been a problem in our barangay for so long. I can't understand why the Barangay Officials cannot make them stop. These men, who has nothing better do, starts drinking from sunset until dawn and most of the time they end up int fist fight. I cannot understand why do they have to drink all night to end up fighting with eachother and this happen every night. I don't have repect for this kind of people, they don't work and they just stay there in the streets all day and just waiting for the sun to set to start their drinking session, they should be sent to alcoholism rehab.

Dealing with Clients
Since I am getting to Professional Practice again, I am reviewing UAP Documents. So that I'll know how much to charge my clients. I am excited to go back to being an Architect. I mean I am an architect and still work in a company as one, but it feels different if I am the one talking to clients, making schemes, making presentations. I even miss the grueling schedule of going from one supplier to the next, looking at materials, bargain with the supplier. Heck, I even miss the smell of a construction site. I love all the phase of construction. Design, presentation, purchasing, site supervision. What I don't like about it is the client part. I know, that is where it all starts but I really need to deal well with clients so that I will not need to have lawsuit funding in case we get in arguments. I know it will not come to that, but there are also clients that take advantage of us. They will ask us to do all this designs with lots of revisions only to say in the end that they will not push through with the construction because they dont have enough budget for it.

Weekend Snapshot




We went to Kids Ahoy for Music and Rhythm class and a TV shoot. Yes, that's right. Little J, along about 20 other kids are there for a TV shoot for TV5 Kiddie Kwela. I wan't able to take photos because I have to go outside the are so that little J will see me right infront of her outside the window. We are lucky that MOmmy J, chose J to be one of the first set, if not, I'm sure we will not be able to do it. By that time little J is already uneasy, maybe because she's already tired. She went to sleep as soon as she sat in the cab on our way home.
