Doubtful of Laboratory Results 


Tanong: I would like to ask about these results of SGOT/SGPT:

Oct. 20, 2010 – SGPT 276.0 U/L
Oct. 21, 2010 – SGPT 140 U/L ; SGOT 8505 U/L
Oct. 23, 2010 – SGOT 2249.0 U/L
Oct. 26, 2010 – SGPT 461.0 U/L ; SGOT 388.0 U/L
Is this a possible result of machine error or uncalibrated machine? Should the Medical Technologist check first on their machine before releasing the results since this can complicate the condition of any patient that doesn't even manifest signs of chronic liver disease?

Also, if a patient has PTB, is it right to give rifamficin high dose if they see that the patient has hepatomegaly? or should the doctors treat first the first disease before this?

If it happens that the patient realizes that she/he doesn't have both diseases (2nd opinion on a good hospital) but several treatments has been done to her/him which complicated his/her condition especially if he's diabetic, what should the patient do? Thanks in advance.

Doc Gino: It is routine that laboratories calibrate their machines. If you suspect that the results do not match the clinical picture of a patient, you may ask the same laboratory to run a second test preferably using the same specimens. Another laboratory may be opted if the results from the same lab are still highly questionable.

Anti-Koch's treatments are usually modified depending on the condition of a patient. A person with liver problem may be given another anti-TB drug that has little effect on the hapatocytes.

Diabetes is a particularly trivial disease particularly when uncontrolled because it causes multiple organ failure.

ADVICE NI TITA LITA
Take It Or Leave It!
by Isabelita Manalastas -Watanabe

Dear Tita Lita,
Meron lang po kaming maliit na problema ng aking asawang Hapon.  Kasi, gusto ko po sanang ipa-TULE (circumcise) ang aking anak.  Pero hindi po sang ayon ang aking asawa.  Alam ko po hindi uso dito sa Japan.  Pero paano naman po kung uuwi ang anak ko sa Pilipinas, baka lalaitin ng mga ibang tao. Ano po ang advice ninyo?
Pilita


Dear Pilita:
Ang key words kong napansin sa sulat mo ay ang katagang “uso,” at “lalaitin.”  Tama ka sa dalawang bagay na ito – hindi uso, or hindi practice dito sa bansang Hapon ang tule. Naiintindihan ko rin ang iyong concern na baka lalaitin ang anak mo kapag nasa Pilipinas, na hindi pala siya tule.

Noong ipinanganak ko ang anak kong lalaki, kaagad kong ipina-tule bago pa kami lumabas sa hospital. Katulad mo, parang natural lang at hindi na pinag-iisipan pa ang pagpapa-tule sa anak na lalaki. Pero hindi ko naisip iyong lalaitin siya.  Pina-tule ko, dahil iyon ang alam kong ginawa ng nanay ko sa kanyang mga anak na lalaki, at ang lahat ng aking mga pamangking lalaki.

Dahil sa iyong tanong, nag-isip tuloy akong mag-research tungkol sa circumcision, at heto ang mga highlights ng aking nabasang information:

1. The World Health Organization (WHO) currently recommends circumcision be part of a comprehensive program for prevention of HIV transmission in areas with high endemic rates of HIV;
2. Estimates by WHO:  30% of males are circumcised, out of whom 68% are Muslims;
3. Sa mga Jew, obligatory for Jewish born males at saka doon sa mga non-circumcised Jewish male converts ang pagpapa-tule;
4. Circumcision is most prevalent in the Muslim world, parts of Southeast Asia, Africa, the United States, the Philippines, and South Korea. Relatively rare in Europe, Latin America, parts of Southern Africa, and most of Asia and Oceania. Prevalence is near universal in the Middle East and Central Asia;
5. WHO states that “there is little non-religious circumcision in Asia, with the exceptions of the Republic of Korea and the Philippines.
6. Summary of the views of professional associations of physicians state that none currently recommend routine (i.e., universal) circumcision, and that none recommend prohibiting the practice;
7. Circumcision is commonly practiced between birth and the early 20’s;
8. There is on-going controversy of the health benefits vs. risk of procedure, ethical and legal considerations and the application of human rights principle to the practice.

Tungkol naman dito sa point of “human rights,” may nakita akong poster na naka-picture ang isang smiling baby in diapers, at ang nakasulat doon sa poster ay:

“CIRCUMCISION
whose body,
whose rights?
Let HIM choose.”

Siyempre, ang baby hindi maka-choose.  So ito ang concern naman ng mga human rights activists.

Nag-interview din ako ng isang medical doctor (isang surgeon) sa atin sa Pilipinas. Sabi niya, maraming mga overseas Filipinos ang umuuwi para ipa-tule ang kanilang mga anak. Ang mga reasons bakit umuuwi pa:

1. Hindi common procedure ang pag-tule sa bansa kung saan sila nag-migrate (katulad sa bansang Hapon);
2. Mas mura ng higit ang procedure sa atin – mga PHP 5,000 sabi ng surgeon kong ininterview;
3. Mas sanay gumawa ng procedure ang mga Pinoy na doctor, kasi nga, common na common practice sa atin ang pag-tule, so hindi nag-wo-worry ang magulang na magkaroon ng complications;
4. Local anesthesia lang ang gagamitin;
5. Hindi covered ng Philhealth o ng iba pang medical insurance ang procedure;
6. Mag 2-3 days lang ang healing period, depende sa condition ng bata.

To summarize:
1. Hindi makaka-desisyon ang iyong anak kung gusto niya or hinding magpa-tule;
2. Best na i-explain mo sa anak mo ang pros and cons.  Ang pro lang naman, at least from your letter, ay iyong hindi siya lalaitin.  Parang hindi naman major na issue ito – e di hindi na lang aminin ng bata na hindi siya tule.  Sino naman ang makakaalam, di-ba?
3. I-respect mo din hindi lang ang point of view ng bata, kundi ng iyong esposo din.  Baka pag-awayin pa ninyo.
4. Looks like wala namang strong medical indication na dapat na i-circumcise ang isang lalaki.

Dear Tita Lita,
Sabi po ng kakilala ko, meron na siyang Japanese passport.  Totoo po ba iyon?  Pwede po bang makakuha ng Japanese passport kahit isa kang dayuhan?  Kung sakali, paano po bang makakakuha ng Japanese passport?  Eh, paano naman kung umuwi na ako sa Pilipinas?  Dayuhan na po ako sa ating bansang tinubuan?
Janice

Dear Janice:
Nag-interview ako ng isang Pilipina na naging Hapon na ang citizenship, at siyempre, Japanese passport na rin ang hawak niya. Heto ang sabi niya sa akin:

1. Nag-apply siya for Japanese citizenship sa Ministry of Justice of Japan (MOA);
2. Nag-conduct ng initial interview sa kanya sa MOJ, in Japanese.  Pinag-kwento siya about herself/her life, at bakit gustong maging Japanese;
3. Binigyan siya ng list of requirements, at mga forms na dapat i-fill up;
4. After all requirements have been fulfilled/all forms filled-up, they were submitted to MOJ.
5. Sinabihan siya ng MOJ na re-rebyuhin nila ang mga dokumento at sasagot sila within not more than 2 months (Note:  Inabot ng 9 na buwan ang aking ininterview bago siya nakatanggap ng notice sa MOF).
6. If approved, you will then be required to do a pledge of allegiance to the government of Japan;
7. You will apply for your Japanese passport at the nearest Japanese passport office.

Itong ininterview ko, nag-change din siya ng pangalan (Japanese name). Sabi din niya sa akin, as far as the Japanese government is concerned, isang nationality lang dapat siya – Japanese.

Sa atin, ang pagkakaalam ko ay pwede pa ring mag-apply for dual citizenship ang isang former Filipino. Kung walang dual citizenship sa atin, siyempre, as a Japanese ang pag-treat sa iyo ng ating immigration office kapag ikaw ay umuwi na hawak  mo ay Japanese passport. Lahat ng rules na applied sa isang Japanese, ay mag-a-apply din sa kanya, tulad ng requirement for a return ticket (hindi pwedeng one-way lang to the Philippines ang hawak mong airline ticket), at limited ang number of days mong stay sa Philippines ng walang visa (not more than 21 days). Hindi ka rin pwedeng bumili ng lupa sa atin.  Bahay, pwede, at saka condo or townhouse.

Dear Tita Lita,
Aalisin na po ba ang Alien Registration Card?
Alex

Dear Alex:

Ako ay may visa na Eijusha (permanent resident). Nakatanggap ng notice ang asawa kong Hapon (as head of household) dated May 2012 galing sa aming local ward office kamakailan lang.

Sinabihan ang asawa ko na i-check lahat ng detalye na nakasulat sa Resident Record kung tama. Kung tama, wala ng dapat gagawin pa. Kung may mali, dapat tawagan ang local ward office doon sa number na isinulat nila.

Ang bagong foreign Registration System ay mag-te-take effect sa July 9, 2012.  Ang sabi sa asawa ko, ako daw at ang anak ko (American passport siya;  ako Philippine passport) ay magiging “registered as a citizen of one’s registered city/ward, same as Japanese citizens.”  Ibig sabihin, ang ano mang dokumentong i-i-issue ay katulad na rin ng kung ano ang ini-issue sa Hapon. Mawawala na eventually ang alien card namin.

July 6 ang deadline ng pagno-notify ng requests for “Certificate of Registered Items in the Foreign Resident Registry” or “a copy of the Foreign Resident Registry.”

Ito lang ang aking kaalaman sa bagong foreign Registration System.

Mas mabuting dumalaw/magtanong sa foreign residents section ng inyong local ward office kung may mga katanungan.

DAISUKI!
By Dennis Sun

More Fun In Da Pilipins


Last week of May, I went home to the Philippines. It was my only chance. Kasi starting June, magiging very busy na ang schedule ko at maraming mga events ang magaganap all over Japan.

Isa sa pinakamadugong parte ng pag-uwi ay ang airplane ticket fare. Hindi naman peak season ang end of May. Nagtanong ako at naghanap sa internet. Gusto ko man piliin ang “our very own” Philippine Airlines pero nasa mahigit na 6 na lapad na ang presyo nito. Mura nga ang Cebu Pacific pero madadale naman ako sa Shinkansen. Mahal pa yata ang Shinkansen fare from Tokyo to Osaka compared to Cebu Pacific fare from Osaka to Manila. Swerte talaga ng mga taga-Kansai. Kapag na miss ang pamilya back home, basta fly agad with CEB promos. A few years back, I was able to get a CEB promo, 99 yen lang from Osaka to Manila! Bili agad ako at napauwi bigla sa Pinas ng hindi oras. Although meron na ring budget airline from Tokyo to Manila with Jetstar, if you add all the expenses for additional kilos for baggages, food, etc. pareho rin ang gastos with the other airlines.

I always like traveling to the Philippines on a non-direct flight. I always choose to transfer either in Taipei via China Airlines or Hong Kong via Cathay Pacific. Usually, meron pa akong isang oras para magliwaliw, mag shopping and mag-stretching sa mga airport doon. In Hong Kong, na mi-meet ko ang maraming domestic helpers natin. Sa Taipei naman, karamihan sa kanila ay mga factory workers. Sabi ng kaibigan ko sa airport in Manila, kung magandang Pinay daw, siguradong galing sa Japan yan! Well, hinigpitan na kasi ang entertainer visa kaya kumokonte na lang ang mga magagandang Pinay dito. Siempre, kayo na lang ang natitira!  I remember, more than 10 years, ang daming mga Ms. Philippines beauty contests all over Japan. Ngayon, kung meron man, mga Mrs. o Ginang Philippines na lang, o kaya’y yung mga anak nila, Little Ms. Philippines-Japan na!

Ano nga ba ang ginawa ko sa Pinas? I was invited by my friends, Les and Dina Reyes, owners of Reyes Haircutters. Super bait nila talaga! Sabi ko, takot akong mag-taxi from the airport to their place. Hayan, dito na nagsisimula ang “more fun in the Philippines”  kaya pinasundo nila ako. Dahil feeling nila na scared ako sa mga roads and highways ng Pilipins, binigyan nila ako ng personal car complete with driver and body guard! Nabulabog ang mga friendship ko sa Pinas. “ Tama. Hindi naman ako witness sa impeachment ni Corona.

More fun talaga. If you like driving and cruising, Manila is the best place to go.  Imagine, it took us more than 3 hours to travel from the airport to Quezon City where my friends live. Buti na lang, naka-ON ang radyo about the impeachment trial. Nagsasalita ang mga senators about their verdict. Kaloka talaga ang Miriam! More fun in the traffic! I have never enjoyed being trapped in a traffic hi-way. Kahit sampal ng init pag labas mo ng airport, air conditioned naman sa loob ng car. So kahit isang araw pa akong nakikinig sa impeachment trial, go, go, go! Huwag na lang tumawag ang call of nature! Pero hindi na kaya ng bladder kaya break time muna sa nearest gasoline station!

More fun pa! Usually, when I go home sa Pinas, I never travel far away. Derecho lang sa bahay namin sa Angeles City.  Yung mga pamangkin ko ang gumagawa ng itinerary ko. Isa lang yun! Shopping sa SM Clark. Akala ng mga pamangkin ko, mayaman ang tito nila. Sige, tig iisang shopping cart sila. Eh, ilang dosenang mga bata yon!  Tumataas ang blood pressure ko habang nakikita kong gabundok ang mga shopping carts nila. Basta ako, idala lang sa spa at bigyan ng relaxing massage, OK na. Kaya doon nila ako dinadala after shopping. Afraid sila at baka nga matuluyan na tito nila! Pwes, kung ganoon, it’s good-bye shopping for them!

More fun! Yes, this time, I was able to travel. Feeling tourist ako sa bansang tinubuan. My friends brought me to their vacation house in Tagaytay. Akala ko, Baguio City lang ang malamig. Pati rin pala ang Tagaytay. First time ko rin nakita ang Taal Volcano. Ganda talaga ng view! Kung nasa Manila lang kayo, visit Tagaytay. It’s just about 2 hours drive away. Sarap ng simoy ng hangin! Sarap din ng pagkain: isda at prutas! And there was a little traffic because there were Santacruzans happening here and there. It was Flores de Mayo, after all!

Fun? My friend asked me where I want to go. Simple lang ang nais ko sa buhay. I said I want to visit the healers of the Philippines.  I met one Muslim healer, Warka, in Malate. He does energy or pranic healing. He just lays his hand on your afflicted part of the body. Then, you will feel his hand getting warmer. He asked me to come back for another session so I went back the following day. There is a donation box where you can give any amount, or none if you wish. You can google or youtube his name if you want to know more about him.

More fun. Back in Angeles City, I met another healer. It’s so funny talaga kasi the healer happened to be my batch mate in elementary school. He and his wife were having a grand European tour. While having a side trip in Israel, something miraculous happened to him. Buhay nga naman. He even said that he is not the regular holy neighbor around but look what he does now. After work, he gives healing for free, no donations asked! I brought my dad on his wheel chair who is suffering from kidney disease and has been undergoing dialysis for 10 years now. When I was in his healing room, tumayo lahat ng balahibo ko. I already felt a holy presence just by being inside. Joey, my batch mate, just asks what’s wrong with you. He lays his hands and prays over. Since he is Catholic, prayers were said afterwards. But just like Warka, the Muslim healer, they both accept anyone kahit anong relihiyon mo pa.

I felt so blessed just by being there. I think it’s good to go to the hospital and trust your doctors. Then, get supplementary healing from prayers and perhaps, from our healers in the Philippines. Sikat tayo sa buong mundo with our psychic surgeons. Although we need to be very careful with them also. Some maybe are genuine. Some maybe are doing it for the money.

Family. Friends. Fellowship. Faith. Food. Fruits. Fiestas. It is, indeed, more fun in the Philippines!

THE CHILD HAUS


During my visit to the Philippines, I had the opportunity to visit CHILD HAUS, a center for  health improvement and life development. The CHILD Haus is a temporary shelter for indigent patients from the different provinces who have cancer or other dreaded diseases and have no place to stay in Metro Manila while undergoing medical evaluation or treatment. It provides free room and board to its residents.

The CHILD Haus is run along the principles of hospice care and promotes the concept of holistic care healing through its various programs, services and activities.

Kung uuwi po kayo sa Pinas bandang Maynila, daan po kayo sa The Child Haus. Tayo pong nasa Japan ay napakapalad at nabigyan tayo ng magandang biyaya ng Diyos para magkaroon ng magandang buhay dito. Kahit magbigay lang kayo ng kahit konti, pera man o bagay, malaking tulong na po ito para sa ating mga kababayan. O kahit wala po kayong dala, bisitahin po natin sila at kumustahin natin para bigyan ng pag-asa sa buhay.

I was able to talk to their medical officer, Dr. Erwin Francisco Estimo. He said that he welcomes any kind of contributions for the children. You can even send your old clothes and toys. Instead of throwing unnecessary items away, these can be of big help to the less fortunate children. The Child Haus is located at 35 Ofelia St., Road 20, Project 8, Quezon City.

HALO-HALO
by Elena Sakai

This is a column to introduce half-Filipino, half-Japanese, who bridge the two countries. My first interview was to Ms. Naomi Kida, a TOP 5 Miss Universe Japan winner of 2011, who is now a freelance model and business woman, working internationally. It’s amazing that such a beautiful woman has so much talent.

Can you give me a short introduction of yourself?　
I'm a Japino. My mom is Filipina and my dad is Japanese. I have an older brother. I was born in Manila and I grew up in Miyazaki.
I joined the 2011 Miss Universe Japan (MUJ), and I was one of the top 5 finalists. After I joined the MUJ, I turned to be a freelance model traveling between Japan and the Philippines and also started managing my own business as a small travel agency.
These days I’m busy at doing my own business traveling between Japan and the Philippines.

Which province in the Philippines is your mother from? Have you ever lived there?
My mom's province is CAVITE. My grand-parent's house is located at Cavite. So when I was young, I always went to my grandparent's house to spend my weekends and also we gather when there is a family celebration like birthdays, Christmas, New Year and so on.

What brought you to Japan?　
At first, my mom only had a tourist visa to stay in Japan, so we always lived in Japan for 3 months in a year until I was 10years old. But then, she could get a permanent visa to stay longer. So, my parents decided to live in Japan so that we could take Japanese education.

Where are you based now?
I'm based in Japan, but recently I often go back to the Philippines to start the new business and also modeling.

How do you feel about having your roots in two countries?
Before, I wasn't happy being a Japino. There were a lot of hard times when I was young. But now, I appreciate being a Japino. Because of the experience that I had in my two home countries, I could have a wider perspective than others and I had a chance to create something new on both sides!! I'm happy of what I am.

Do you consider yourself Japanese or Filipino?
I consider myself ‘s identity to be truly 50/50.

You were one of the top 5 of Miss Universe Japan 2011. How did you start your modeling career?
I started being a model when I was 20 years old. I like challenges. I believe that no matter what happens, having an experience would be the step to success in life.

How did participating in the Miss Universe influence you?
I became confident of myself. I was a positive person before, but when I joined the pageant, there were a lot of hard times competing and acting smart and being elegant. It was difficult for me not to be myself and comparing myself with others. Then, suddenly I became unconfident and negative. But after the pageant, I felt that at last, I could be myself again. I found that, I could shine as who I am!!

Can you tell me about your modeling career in Japan and in the Philippines?
In Japan, I will be promoting the Philippines at JATA Travel Showcase 2012. In the Philippines, I am hoping to join the Philippines Fashion Week if my schedule is open to participate that time.

I heard that you were studying English in the Philippines recently. How was your experience?
I was really impressed about the English and teaching skills of Filipinos. I felt that this would be a great industry to explore our ability to the non-speaking English countries.

What are your future goals?
My future goals are to become a bridge between Japan and the Philippines and to be a mediator or face of the country like a tourism ambassador for both countries.

Can you give a message to Pinoys in Japan?
To all Pinoys in Japan, be proud of your beautiful country! Also, please support me in reaching my goals. And, I hope I could contribute to my lovely country in the near future. MABUHAY !!

ON THE ROAD TO:
Glimpses and Glances at Music and Dances of the Philippines
with INDAK TURISMO

Literally speaking, they took Osaka by storm as typhoon number 4 ravaged through Kansai on June 19. Indak Turismo, the official dance troupe of the Department of  Tourism which is managed by its attached agency, the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority wowed the audience in their two performances in Takatsuki City (which is Manila's sister city) sponsored by the Soroptimist International (Takatsuki Chapter) on June 18 and a performance at the Osaka Hilton Hotel on June 19.
 
We were telling the group jokingly that they seem to have brought in the tropical depression the moment they arrived because of the heavy rains that day! Weather news were all about the typhoons headed for Japan.
 
The first performance in Manila's sister city was organized by the Soroptimist Takatsuki Osaka chapter on June 18. Mayor Takeshi Hamada who also visited Manila in February led the guests including 7 members of Soroptimist's Navotas chapter. Ms. Junko Habe, who organized the performance, has been to the Philippines several times. She wanted to share the unique culture and tradition of the Filipinos to the people of Takatsuki.
   
Acting upon her urgent request, DOT Osaka was able to arrange for Indak Turismo's performances in Japan. Tourism Secretary Ramon R. Jimenez Jr., whose "It's more Fun in the Philippines" buzzword  is quickly tickling the curio-sity of foreign tourists, believes that the Philippines has the best array of cultural presentations at various destinations. Another unique attraction of Indak Turismo is that the perfor-mers are all employees of DOT's Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority. They were trained by Mr. Ernesto S. Carriaga, a former Bayanihan Dance Troupe member. The group is ma-naged by Ms. Eva Zulueta who also danced many solo numbers like Paso Doble and Pasikat na Baso. The other members in the Maria Clara suite and Pista were Clarissa Victoria, Cindy Sanchez, Mary Ann Mata, Mona Lisa Arriba, Cesar Navidad, Ferdinand Gelacio, Angelito Magdasoc, Anthony Galang and John Adnet Castro. Some of the dances depict typical rural scenes like fishing as on the dance Pasigin in the Visayas. There were also dances that celebrated bountiful harvest and the beauty of nature.

But no fiesta is complete without the enticing sound of the rondalla composed of Ferdinand Cabutotan, Rodelio Pusong, Rojs Reyes and Felix Espadilla who provided live accompaniment throughout the performance.
   
The mood was warm and pleasant, and the storm seemed to have taken a different course, as if appeased with the dance offerings.
   
Ms. Araceli Soriano welcomed the selected audience composed of media representatives, airline operators, travel agents and Consular officials. Newly appointed Consul-General Ma. Theresa Taguiang was the guest of honor together with Consul Jerome Castro, Vice-Consuls Dax Imperial and Mike Garcia.
   
It was another emceeing experience that was rejuvenating because it was fun. DOT Osaka staff headed by Ms Arci, Lorly, Kyoko, Mr. Ogami and Cora made every effort to make this possible!!!

JULY - AUGUST  FORECAST
ni Madam Marivic Oyama



TIGER
Madaling mag-init ang iyong ulo ngayong buwan na ito. Iwasan ang makipag-argumento at walang mabuting idudulot ito sa iyo. Magdadala lamang ng problema sa iyo kung hindi mo kokontrolin ang galit. Pasensiya ang pairalin at huwag ang pagiging matigas ang ulo. In August, dobleng ingat ang gawin dahil malapit ka sa aksidente. Pag ingatan din ang iyong kalusugan dahil madali para sa iyo ang mahawa sa mga may karamdaman. Better to visit your doctor.

SNAKE
Masuwerteng buwan ang July sa iyo sapagkat nasa iyo ang prosperity luck na magbibigay ng kasaganahan sa buhay. May perang matatanggap na hindi inaasahan mula sa tulong ng iba. Maaaring may matanggap na mana o kaya magbakasakaling tumaya sa lotto. Enjoy your luck! In August, may mga nag-tatangka sa iyo na ikaw ay lokohin lalo na pagdating sa pera. Huwag mag- titiwala ng basta-basta lalo na kung may kinalaman sa pana-nalapi. Ingatan din ang mahahalagang bagay sa iyo dahil nasa paligid lamang ang mga taong gustong magsamantala ng kahinaan mo.

ROOSTER
Madali ang pasok ng pera sa iyo ngayong buwan. May matatanggap ka na tulong mula sa hindi inaasahang tao at may financial support na darating sa iyo. Ngunit ingatan mo lamang ang iyong kalusugan dahil napakababa ng iyong energy level para akuin lahat ang mga trabahong naka atang sa iyo. In August, you have the lucky white star na magbibigay ng tagumpay sa lahat ng mga nasimulang proyekto. Tuloy-tuloy ang ganda ng pasok ng suwerte sa iyo kaya samantalahin ang mga pagkakataon at sunggaban agad ang magagandang oportunidad na dumarating.

HORSE
Lalabas ang pagiging creative mo, at magkakaroon ka ng mga idea na iyon din ang lulutas sa mga problemang pinagdadaanan mo. Nasa iyo din ang suporta ng mga kaibigan at kakilala. May mga bagong makikilala  sa pagtitipon na dadaluhan at magiging kaibigan mo ito. In August, magiging irritable at madaling magalit. Mahirap ang mag-desisyon para sa iyong sarili. Kaya umiwas muna sa mga malalaking desisyon. Mas makakabuting ipagpaliban muna kung anuman ang mga planong gagawin.

RABBIT
Mag-ingat ngayon buwan na ito. Huwag basta ibibigay ang tiwala sa mga taong hindi gaanong kilala. Iwasan din ang pumasok sa mga bagong proyekyo o negosyo lalo na kung may partnership.

In August, may mga sagabal o tinik na darating at haharang sa iyong mga plano. Umiwas na masangkot sa gulo at pagtatalo. Stay cool and control your temper. Hindi rin maganda ang pumasok sa isang relasyon. Hindi ito magtatagal at magdudulot lamang ito ng sakit at pighati.

RAT

MONKEY
May mga taong mag-bibigay ng tulong at suporta sa iyo na hindi mo inaasahan. Lalabas ang mga good ideas sa iyo at marami ang makikinig sa opinion mo. You have a great month and heaven luck is in your chart kaya maging positibo sa lahat ng bagay dahil kung ano ang iyong binabalak, ito ay magtatagumpay basta’t may mabuting kalooban. In August, better to lie low dahil mahaharap ka sa mga pagsubok. Challenging ang relasyon mo. Pagdating sa trabaho may mga rivals na lalabas. Huwag hayaan na masangkot ka sa gulo o away kung hindi ka mag iingat dahil malamang na makasakit o masaktan ka. Iwasan din ang mga malalaking desisyon na gagawin sa buwan ng August.
