Checking and scrolling through social media has become an increasingly
popular activity over the last decade. In fact, in the Philippines, time spent online
daily soared from 9 hours and 29 minutes last year to 10 hours and 2 minutes
this year, the highest in the world. Social media addiction is characterized as
being driven by an uncontrollable urge to log on to or use social media, and
devoting so much time and effort to social media that it impairs other important
life areas.

Not yet, Rizal, not yet. Sleep not in peace:
There are a thousand waters to be spanned;
There are a thousand mountains to be crossed;
There are a thousand crosses to be borne.
Our shoulders are not strong; our sinews are
Grown flaccid with dependence, smug with ease

Good personal hygiene habits are directly related to less illnesses and better
health. Poor personal hygiene habits, however, can lead to some minor side
effects, like body odor and greasy skin. They can also lead to more troublesome
or even serious issues. For example, if you don't wash your hands frequently,
you can easily transfer germs and bacteria to your mouth or eyes. This can lead
to any number of issues, from stomach viruses to pink eye. Not brushing your
teeth can lead to teeth issues and plaque buildup.
