It’s a temporary setback….we didn’t give up in previous battles when the odds were far greater and yet we prevailed, we certainly will not give up now.
Para sa bayan. Walang bibitiw. Tuloy lang.

In 1935, two American doctors examined seven women's ovaries and saw small lumps. They called them cysts and named the disease after them. They were wrong. It took 91 years to fix.
What we called PCOS is now Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS), announced today in The Lancet by an international panel of doctors and patients. The renaming followed more than a decade of consensus work and 22,000 patient and clinician survey responses.
The lumps Stein and Leventhal saw were never cysts. Modern imaging shows they were follicles, the tiny sacs inside the ovary that grow and release an egg each month, frozen partway through by a hormonal imbalance. PMOS is a multi-system disorder centered in the endocrine system, the body's network of glands that produces hormones like insulin (controls blood sugar), cortisol (the stress hormone), and thyroid hormones (set the body's metabolism). The ovary trouble flows downstream from there.
The naming choice is not academic. When doctors hear "ovary" in a diagnosis, they look at the ovary. "Metabolic" and "endocrine" send them to the whole body.
PMOS affects roughly 1 in 8 women worldwide, more than 170 million people. The WHO estimates 70% have never been diagnosed. Among those who do, 1 in 3 wait more than 2 years, and nearly half see 3 or more doctors first. The CDC reports more than half of women with PMOS develop type 2 diabetes by age 40, a risk 5 to 10 times higher than women without the condition. Around 37% have clinically significant depression, compared with 14% in women without it. Anxiety runs at 42% versus 8.5%.
A label born from a 1935 look at seven ovaries is finally going away. The new diagnostic guidelines roll out fully in 2028. By then, a woman walking into a clinic with these symptoms should hear questions about her blood sugar and her mood alongside her cycle. Those are the parts of the disease the old name hid for 91 years.
A barbershop in the Philippines has come up with such a unique concept… Every day, they give a free “haircut” to a stray cat that can’t afford it. Yes, you heard that right 😂
And the cat you see in this video is actually a regular customer, coming in once a month just to get its whiskers trimmed!
It’s truly amazing… I wish more barbers would join this wave of kindness so thousands of stray cats out there could get the care they need 😂

Most women don’t know about the fertile window 😭.
Pregnancy is only possible during the fertile window (5 days before ovulation and the day of ovulation itself). Sperm can survive up to 5 days while the egg lasts 12-24 hours.
To calculate your fertile window, you need to know your cycle length and when you’re ovulating. But cycle length can vary from month to month, so it can be difficult to predict ovulation accurately.
Using protection is still the most reliable way to prevent pregnancy.
Nobody is easy to be with, we all come with something. So when you meet someone who’s actually patient enough to understand you and grow with you, don’t let your ego or pride mess that up.
Not everybody is gonna keep choosing you through your phases, your moods, your healing… that kind of real is rare. And it’s not about being perfect, it’s about being willing. Remember that
A HARVARD psychologist says: “if you’ve achieved nothing by 25, you’ve avoided the most destructive illusion of youth”
> In 2021, a Harvard psychologist surprised a lecture hall with an unexpected statement:
“If you haven’t accomplished much by 25, you may have escaped one of youth’s biggest illusions.”
At first, the room laughed.
She wasn’t kidding.
> The illusion of early success.
In your early 20s, the brain seeks quick proof of worth ~status, attention, rapid achievements.
But psychologists warn that chasing recognition too soon can lock people into roles or paths they never consciously chose.
They decide too early… and spend years trying to undo it.
> The exploration phase.
Research on career development suggests that people who explore more before 30 often build stronger long-term directions.
Testing ideas.
Making mistakes in public.
Changing course.
At 25 it looks like confusion ….but by 35 it often turns into clarity.
People who feel “behind” in their mid-20s frequently gain something others miss:
Perspective.
Patience.
And a clearer sense of what truly matters to them.
That foundation often leads to better decisions later on.
At the end of the lecture, the psychologist left the students with one final thought:
“You’re not meant to have life fully figured out at 25.”
“You’re meant to discover who you’re not.”
