Air Pollution and other stuff

I have not been blogging for some time. For those who have been asking why... well, I've not be well. If it's not a consistent cough, it's an infection of some kind. Feeling healthy is a bonus, and each day that I'm healthy, I'm grateful.

Lately I've been thinking a lot about air pollution. What kind of sicknesses are directly linked from it. A check on Wikipedia defines air pollution as :
.." the introduction of chemicals, particulate matter, or biological materials that cause harm or discomfort to humans or other living organisms, or damages the natural environment, into the atmosphere."

A quick check on the public roads in Metro Manila, and one sees men, women and children, young and old, holding up hankerchieves to their mouths and noses. I for one, know for a fact, that i can choke and cough uncontrollably as a vehicle passes by. Or as the 100 plus children run around, a dust cloud becomes very visible. I'm not a special case, we all are breathing in the same air, some are just more affected than others and I blame it on my delicate lungs.

Last year, the amount of money i had spent on doctors consultations and presciptions exceeded beyond what I spent in a year for other things like government taxes, visas, air ticket home, daily expenditure. The frustration comes from not getting well, in an air environment that could have been more conducive for healing.

I've been persevering in the hope that my immunity system will buck up and fight off all the different things the the air.

Thanks for your support, do keep my health in prayer,thanks.
