The Pantene Shampoo Scam

Earlier this January 2013, a man came into my work place at the drugstore to offer some big tubes of Pantene shampoo, a hair product owned by Procter and Gamble. I was with a colleague that time. He showed us his company ID and asked if we would want to buy shampoo products which was excess order from a grocery nearby. My friend and colleague got interested since she can get the product in a wholesale price. However, the salesman was selling his merchandize by 6’s the least. My colleague only wanted one big tube of the Pantene shampoo. So, in the end, she didn’t buy anything from the man.

Violence is never a good thing. Generally, educated and sensible people settle arguments in a diplomatic way – though talking. Yet, there are some cases to consider. Some people would rather take action – using their fists instead of their mouth to solve problems. In schools, as bullying can be openly popular, talking to the aggressor may not be efficient especially when their superiors (teachers) would choose not to intervene.

Interestingly, some parents would let their children fix their own problems by fighting back.

Tragic Love Poems

 These are poems written out of wickedness. Fortunately, two are fictional tales. One is an unspoken secret.

Good byes can be very sad and haunting. My poems Warlock, Mesmerized and My Elisha have this common thought. Although, one of the three can be very grim (come to think of it, not parting entirely) and a naughty composition inspired by the genius Edgar Allan Poe, the other poems’ gloomy endings were really necessary. These two were written sensibly for the best of things - an awakening from a beautiful illusion.

Partings can be sorrowful, bitter-sweet and heart-slashing.

The FDA has categorized MSG as GRAS or Generally Recognized as Safe. However, monosodium glutamate (MSG) has been cited to cause migraine, insomnia, depression, anxiety and cognitive disorders.
