Sharing here is a video of Kay Tagal Kang Hinintay from their new album shot entirely in Sitio Cogon and Hda. Sta. Rosalia, Manapla, Negros Occidental directed by Yael's brother, Yanny Yuzon.

Kay Tagal Kang Hinintay

Hawakan mo ang aking kamay at tayong dalawa'y
Maghahasik ng kaligayahan
Bitawan mong unang salita
Ako ay handa ng tumapak sa lupa

Tapos na ang paghihintay nandito kana
O sya'y naiinip magdahandahan
Sinasamsam bawat gunita
Na para bang tayo'y di na tatanda

Ligaya mo'y nasa huli
Sambit ng iyong mga labi

Chorus

Parang isang panaginip
Ang muling mapagbigyan
Tayo'y muling magkasama
Ang dati ay baliwala

Nagkita rin ang ating landas wala ng iba
Oh giliw unting ika'y pagbigyan
Tototoo ang iyong ligalig
Oh anung ligayang may sumama sa atin

Nais ko lang bumitbit
Sa saliw ng iyong tinig


Parang isang panaginip
Ang muling mapagbigyan
Tayo'y muling magkasama
Ang dati ay baliwala

Wala na ang anung oras kung
Ika'y kapaling kita
Oh kay tagal kitang hinintay (2x)

Ligaya mo'y nasa huli
Sambit ng iyong mga labi

Parang isang panaginip
Ang muling mapagbigyan
Tayo'y muling magkasama
Ang dati ay baliwala
Ang dati ay baliwala

Muling mapagbigyan
Tayo'y muling magkasama
Ang dati ay baliwala

Wala na ang anung oras kung
Ika'y kapaling kita

Oh kay tagal kitang hinintay (2x)

When Asthma Attacks

What to do when asthma attacks?

Below are some helpful tips and items that can help when asthma attacks.

My 13-year old daughter has been suffering from asthma since she was a little kid. She was confined twice in the hospital when she was young because of this condition.

Malunggay tea ( Moringa Oleifera) is a natural medicine for asthma. Although I haven't tried this yet for my older daughter, many attested that it works good among people who are suffering from asthma.

Nebulizer. Daughter uses this kind of treatment as prescribed by her doctor whenever breathing becomes difficult for her. She uses nebulizer at least four times a day or every two hours when needed.

Rota haler. She always carry this in her bag especially when asthma shows signs, ready to attack anytime. It is very convenient as it only needs one inhaling time and takes only a few seconds to finish.

Most people with asthma already know what to do as it shows symptoms first before it occurs. In my daughter's case, the sudden change of weather, polen, dust and warm weather easily lead her to a series of attacks. When the weather is too hot to bear, she stays indoor and switch the air conditioner into high cool when possible to make her breathing at ease. Having a 13-year old daughter with asthma, I already know how to manage and deal with it properly. Steroid was given to her once or twice when her wheezing was so bad. The doctor explained to me the many side effects using this kind of treatment.

People with asthma can live a normal life too. Just avoid everything that will trigger the asthma. It can be fatal if the condition is severe and when the proper medication is not given to the patient.

It isn't true that asthma stops when a kid reaches seven or when he/she becomes an adult. Maybe, attacks will be lessened but it is a kind of allergy that keeps coming back over and over again. The best cure is to prevent it to happen and keep away from things that will trigger the attack.

When it rains, it pours

Pedring, Quiel and Ramon are just not very good in choosing the date to visit the country. While Pedring just exited, Quiel thought all the way that there is still a dam left for him to fill up. Far from his thought, all the dams in Northern Luzon already reached their spilling level. I only wish that Ramon will visit when the soil is totally dried up or at least few weeks time to recover and when the soil is ready to absorb the rain water again.
