I have never been someone who needs to have the most updated mobile phone there is in the market. Truth be told, I have been using the second to the oldest model of the Nokia series for five years (GASP! Yes!) up until I got a free phone when I applied for a line. So I have never been updated with polyphonic tones, bluetooth messaging, tunes, MMS and G3 access. Until now.

Blame it on Twitter and Facebook. Somehow, it has become a need to stay connected all the time. Add to that was my rediscovered love for reading but apparent lack of funds to support buying books made of paper (my green mind doesn’t want to support them anymore even if my eyes love them) – enter e-books. So there goes my dilemna.

The solution? Upgrade my phone.

I am torn between the iPhone and the Blackberry. Of course, I *think* most features are the same (correct me if I am wrong). A friend has demonstrated to me the features of an iPhone (and even I was impressed, Apple non-lover that I am) and pointed out to me I can get the iTouch for less but with the same features except for a mobile phone (which is the only feature I don’t mind having, really). Apparently, with the iPhone/iTouch, I can have applications installed so I can play games, read books, listen to music, and priority number 1: CONNECT TO THE INTERNET. And, I can put it into an iphone dock and it will become like a Nano/mp3 player.

Does the Blackberry have the same features? All I know about the Blackberry is that most celebrities use it for Twitter, it has a QWERTY keyboard, needs a special blackberry case because of its width, and its screen is obviously smaller than the iPhone (negative points for eBook reading). Would I need a Bluetooth Headset for it? (Yes, I am THAT clueless).

So your choice – convince me, which one should I get?

That’s what Quaker Oats cereal, or oatmeal, has for its tagline.

Quaker Oats.
Good for the heart.

When coronary heart disease became one of the tip five leading causes of mortality around the globe, doctors, scientists and health experts have tried to find a way to not only stop it, but prevent it from happening.

Enter the discovery of the importance omega fatty acids to the body. These essential fatty acids contain the link to prevent buildup of fat along the coronary arteries thus preventing coronary heart disease.

Fish oil omega 3 fatty acids can be found in abundance in fish (oils mostly, tuna is best). It has been clinically proven that it has the components necessary to stimulate the breakdown of fibrin, which helps clot and scar formation – making you not an easy target for varicose veins, high blood pressure and high blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

Omega 3 health supplements of course, quite expectedly, in abundance today, as manufacturers try to capitalize on the amazing discovery. However be wary of false or impure supplements. A quick way to test it is to store them in the freezer overnight. If the capsules, which should always be clear, turn hazy, it means that are impurities, commonly lard on it. Make sure to get pure supplements! Omax™ is proven to be a pure omega 3 health supplement.
