I attended a 3-day encounter retreat a week ago together with my fellow church members. The venue is in a resort which is also near the beach.  After the retreat we were allowed to take a splash and swim at the pool. All of us are so excited since we want to take a dip in the pool to refresh ourselves from the heat of the hot summer day.

However, right after swimming I noticed that my skin got itchy. I thought it was only me but my fellow church mates also felt the same. Yay!  we blame it to the pool because its contaminated with bacteria, viruses and other fecal matter. It’s such a scary prospect that this swimming pool is veritable with germs and parasites.

You may wonder where do this organisms came from? Well, I have learned that the risk of illness and infection from swimming pools derives mostly from fecal contamination of the water. Vomit, mucus, saliva and skin are also sources of dangerous germs in the pool.

Thus, it is necessary that the pool must have an adequate sanitation by filtering the pool water and add chlorine and other disinfectants to control the harmful germs in the water. This resort must set a pool sanitation regulations to control the bacteria levels in this pool. They should test it while cleaning and disinfecting the pool regularly. Swimming in a pool is not actually dangerous but we as swimmers should also educate ourselves about keeping bacteria out of the pool by bathing before taking a dip and staying out if you’re sick .

I’m not a member of any fraternity or sorority but my mom did. She joined Megalith Nu Sigma Phi Fraternity way back in college before she gave birth on me on 1983. I asked her why she joined this sorority and she told me that she joined because it gives her the chance to meet new people and make friends.

She also added that the best thing about Greek life is that the membership is for life which means to say that you are still a member of the group even after graduating.Their fraternity group is expanding not only here in the Philippines but all throughout the world. I was also surprised to know how the Fraternities in the U.S. is increasing rapidly as you can see the infographic image below.

Based from my mom’s experience, I think joining a fraternity creates a fun and rewarding college experience because they usually have a busy calendar filled with social events that can help you meet new friends. It is also an excellent way to build your network which will see you through your professional career.

My hubby is such an avid multi player video gamer, I know he is already familiar with ventrilo on MMORPG games. And if you guys have not heard of it, you are actually missing out its powerful technology,why? because it lets you concentrate on your game while maintaining that instant and hands free communication between the players in your guild.

Using ventrilo increases the competitiveness of video gaming by allowing your group to hear everything that is happening. It is customizable and very easy to learn to use even guild members who are not technically savvy can easily use it. It is also very easy to use so players can learn to communicate even if they are not highly skilled at the game.

Though I’m not a gaming fanatic but Ive seen and noticed that its becoming a common add-on in many internet chat rooms and the user can either use text or voice communication based on their personal preference. It’s a good thing to know that since ventrilo was developed, the world of gaming and chatting has never be the same. It has definitely changed the multiple player video game industry and its beginning to grow in popularity in other areas as well.
