Guam – After waiting three days Joseph and Corina Paulino said they finally received an email from their son in Haiti informing them he was fine. “It was troubling” Paulino told KUAM over the phone, about not knowing how his 22-year-old son Corey was doing. Corey does missionary work for the Haitian Project. 
According to the non profit organization’s website the Haitian Project is a Catholic, co-educational boarding school in Port Au Prince that educates and nurtures academically talented and motivated students from the poorest Haitian families to maximize their potential and enable them to work toward building a Haiti where justice and peace thrive.
Joseph Paulino says his son started working in Haiti after he graduated from Seattle University. He was hired as a Professor of Biology. Paulino says because of limited communications in Haiti, Corey’s e-mail message was brief, only stating that he was fine and helping treat at least 200 refugees in the camp where he is stationed. He added that Corey was at a soccer field near his camp when the earthquake struck.
As for efforts to bring Corey home, his father says he wants to stay and continue his work there and help the victims of the earthquake.
Corey is from Talofofo and is 2005 graduate of Father Duenas Memorial School.

We were all excited to hear the news.

Re: Vitey D, yes 2 hours it is individual – that being said, if it isn’t summer in LA I take 2 tablespoons of lemon flavor cod liver oil, never use sunblock and I always take a vitey D3 supplement, that’s the one that fakes out tests and most older people in particular lose first. Most people are vitey D deficient and lack symtoms, Misch – you and I are very fortunate to have that olive skin, I go a good half hour in full summer sun before I put on sunblock, I rarely burn.

Ruth, loved hearing about the girls, forgot to say that myself : )

Donna, I agree with Mischa, that 6 year old’s (and many other kids I have encountered unfortunately) could use a lesson in manners. I’m like supernanny : ) I let kids know right away, as soon as you enter my front door, my rules apply and here they are – I list them starting with no screaming and end by telling them that every request within reason will be fulfilled here with the usage of the words ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ – if you forgo those words your at risk of a definitive NO, oh yeah and no name-calling – ever – though I do allow ‘stupid’ as it applies to inanimate objects that you stub your toe on : )
…and just for good measure, the word ‘should’ is banned also, that’s just a personal thing with me, you can suggest what could be done, might be done, but don’t tell people, and children are people, what they SHOULD do, if something must be done – then just say ‘you must do _____ now” – and doesn’t ‘you could do your report this way’ sound way better and less condescending than ‘you should do your report this way’ (it begs the question: oh says who, you?)there could be a new creative way YOU haven’t thought of to do the report (or whatever, you get the gist)…and please, feel free to add your own ‘rules’ bc believe me when I tell you that I am all about the fun with kids, my girls’ pals always want to come back here, but when they know what you expect from them (like respectful behavior and attitude) and they tend to like bahavior parameters (contrary to popular beief) they will try to please you, and then you have the opportunity to please them by praise that great behavior (rather than pointing out obvious ‘bad’ behaviors) as I always say: no need to point out my faults, trust me I know what they are better than anyone, hahaha…

Sorry if I’m wrong, but I think it is Victoria who is the newcomers to the MM blog – ZL life program (bc it isn’t just exercise and food here) – based on that just joining, I’m thinking when I have time next week I’ll write a review for those just joining, today I have time for an exercise, an observation and a quickie meal recipe…

This is for your hip flexor muscle, you can hold onto a wall or a friend but try it using your own balance first then go with a ‘practice makes perfect’ attitude moving forward, like yoga moves, some days yo will be more naturally balance than others, focus on the muscle and carry on, not to worry, tormorrow will be better balance (or not and still we will carry on) – stand tall, shoulders up and back, ta’s up, buns squeezed, lift your right leg up with bent knee, knee to the ceiling, toes pointed down, rotate your knee as far to the right as you can, and touch/tap that toe to the inside of your left foot, and immediately lift back up, rotate back to front and lower that leg, repeat this 5 times on each side, you will be holding that bum muscle tight for the entire exercise and it will be a slow 6 count to complete each one. If you’ve ever suffered hip joint pain and you do this to the best of your ability I will bet my life you will have not only improved mobility but less pain overall very soon – the key is slow deliberate movement and only going as far to the left or right as it takes to feel a stretch not pain, your range of motion will improve over time. An older woman at my gym does a very modified version holding the wall with her knee only up slightly but she gushes enthusiastically about this one. I’ve got another to add next week but add this to your warm up ebfore your walk and definitely before your tennis shuffles whenever your doing them.

OK, here’s your Quinoa recipe, if you’re going veggie, leave the chicken out. first – let’s make chicken that you can leave in the fridge in containers of 4 ounces each, I make 4-6 chicken breasts this way at a time, leave in fridge or freezer for easy eating…spray olive oil or 1 tablespoon in a pan, sprinkle lemon pepper in the pan (or another fave seasoning, I like this one) drop in the chicken and brown it on that side, sprinkly a little lemon pepper on top side and turn it, when both sides are browned, add 1/2 cup white wine (don’t use shitty wine, it just makes your chicken taste shitty too) and lower the heat for 3-5 minutes till cooked. You can chop all of it into 1 inch bites or leave whole, your choice.

Add 1 cup quinoa to 2 cups water or chicken stock, with lid on, bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes, shut off burner and let it stand for 5-10, then fluff it with a fork. Take pesto sauce, store bought or your own, add 3 large tablespoons to the pesto and blend or just stir together.

In a bowl, put 4 ounces of the plain quinoa, add 4 ounces of the chicken, then top with your new improved pesto sauce and voila’ – it’s so tasty, without the chicken is just as good.

…and there you have it, I will catch up with you when I can but I’ll be working on the review for next week so we can get more beginnners and keep the followers in maintenace mode : ) I’m so pleased that it has worked so well for so many here, my roomie has lost pateince with ‘having to do this all the time’ – it’s not hard once converted and committing to feeling better, the side bene of looking good, losing weight and being sexually more active speak for themselves.

On that note, almost forgot, I wanted to share this TAOist (not the alien TAO’s) thought which I wholeheartedly agree with…sex is not about releasing energy, stress or emotion (though it can seem to be) but more the opposite: sex is meant to replenish sexual energy and ensure physical, emotional and mental well-being. They (and I) also believe that sex can be a spiritual experience (no jokes about ‘oh God’ here!) it’s a meeting – a feeling of unity of heaven and earth, yin/yang, fire/water. This is simply my own observation, if you deplete your sexual energy without the above mentioned approach and personal attitude to replenish, you create the atmosphere for requiring all kinds of stimulation from other sources to help fill that sexual energy need…it can manifest as drug/alcohol over usage, porn over usage, necessity for multiple partners past forty : ), etc…all which further deplete rather than rebuild sexual energy, it’s just my theory…do with it what you will.

Hi to Howie and Al, I’m sure your reading and laying low till you have something to say ; )

PLuvness, Zen Lill

i take lots of vitamin D. My doctor advised me a year ago to get the liquid. I like your article about the new kind of D. I will talk to my doctor about it.

Thanks, you always have good articles. Even the ones I didn’t like some of my friends loved. So agradecimentos para tudo você faz.
