There was a certain guy whom I met in MIRC, particularly in dalnet davao, I just saw his nick just this evening.He was 27 yrs.old and married, his nick on mirc was hiro_nakamura.I invited him to visit my blog. He might read some of my articles that I had been written, eventually upon roaming around on my blog he made comments on the article "I miss my Dad", he posted all what he had read on his friends blog about Daddy thing, he said to me that I am not alone in this world having no daddy.I am sure he read it because he made comments on it.I was so dumbfounded upon reading the comments because I can feel that its really hard to have no father.My heart bleeds when I saw some pictures of my dad.How I wish I can change the time.Anyway I will post here the stories of hiro_nakamura's friend about their dad.Thank you hiro_nakamura for sharing this to me, I hope that this stories will touch others heart to give and show their love to their daddies.

maam..its me hiro_nakamura. my bestfriend wheng wrote something about his dad..kakainggit..

When I was younger, I always love

going with my Dad to the Park. It was

one of the best places in the city

where you can relax. The park is

facing the Davao Gulf.

The fresh air

gives a very relaxing ambiance to the

people who viusits the park especially

from afternoon till the park closes at10 PM.

It was a once a month habit to

my dad. We used to eat in an "ihaw-ihaw" restaurant inside the park

before sitting in our favorite bench

near the sea wall. The bench is undera small tree where you can hear the

birds playing especially during

sunset.

A few years have passed, and the once

a month habit became a twice a week

routine. My dad told me that he wants

to go the park with me more often

because I get to be more mature to

talk to and he enjoys talking to me

about anything and everything while

seated in the same bench.

What was so funny was,

he opens up ourevery conversation with the

same "intro". He would say..."daratingang araw anak, itong bonding natin at

mga kuwentuhan natin...lahat, alaalana lang."

For several years of going

with him to the park, I hear the same

words before we start a good

conversation. It even came to a point

that I would jokingly interrupt him

before he finishes the "intro"..."Oo na! oo na! pag dating ng araw, alaala

na lang lahat ng 'to." then I'll tap

his shoulder and start out a good talk.2 days ago(january 20),

is exactly the10th year since then last time we'vebeen to the park together. I can't

forget the date because it's my

sister's birthday.

Unfortunately, I cant go to the said

park bacause i'm working here inMakati.

Now I realize how significantthat "intro" was.

I can still hear my

dad's voice playing in my mind over

and over again telling me that INTRO.

I know, he really meant those words he

said whenever we start a good talk.

And that I know that he knew this time

would come...that I would wish to get

a chance again, to talk to him while

sitting on that bench under the

tree...like waht we used to do.

His words were very encouraging,especially when Im in my lowest

moments, that I thought almost

im possible for me to smile and feelbetter.

He always knew how to make me

smile, and he knows what words would

he use to hit me straight in the heart.

He died of cancer 6 years ago.

Loosinghim was the most painfull for me that

I can't get over it until now. BUt itwas better that way,

than to see himsuffer.2 days ago was exactly 10 years

sincethe last time I heard his INTRO.

10long years of longing to hear those

words from him again.

I am willing to give everything and anything just to

spend a few seconds and hear the INTRO

from him again. I swear I won'tinterrupt him,

and ill never get tired

of listening to him.

How I wish i cansit again on that bench,

even just fora second...even when IM alone.

I knowhe would sit beside me and make me

feel better now that I feel so down.He was the best dad....

i never get tired of reading over and over again about that post he wrote..right after i read that post. i emaild him..telling him about my jealousy about his dad..and made another blogs that meant to hit me straight to my heart..here it is..From: Wheng Date: Wednesday, 23 January, 2008 6:29 PM Subject: a Broader sight... Message: My Best friend allen who is in Davao just wrote me a message. He felt sorry for me, at the same time, jealous. His dad died of heart attack a year before my dad passed away. It was just so sad to think that unlike me, he never had a quality time to have a good conversation with his dad. The good thing was, he treated my dad as his 2nd dad...and my dad looked at him as one of his sons. He is my best friend for years and my dad was one of the witnesses of our friendship that will make history.hehehe! I'm just so proud that someone testifies in favor of my words that my dad was a good man, a good adviser, a friend, and a mentor. My best friend just regrets that he never had the chance to get close to his dad like I was to my dad...but I know his dad personally, atleast in person. He might not speak a lot, he was not the sweet type of a dad,. But I know he was always proud of my best friend who was always responsible and true. Love is not measured in moments of time, but in timeless moments that's shared to your loved one. For others, love gets stronger by regular bonding, but for those who has Broader sights about love, even just the simple stares, a straight look in the eyes, a tap on the shoulder, and a simple touch will be remembered forever.End Thanks man. having a bestfriend like you is making life's more beautiful and meaningful. truly we stand against odds na jud. Im so thankful for having u as part of my life..God bless bro.January 23, 2008.

I have Polycystic Ovaries.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome:This is my problem, I take metformin everyday just to regulate my menstruation..I am afraid I might not get pregnant..Please has anyone knows alternative medicine or cure of this illness.I am afraid that I cannot have my own family....I have my OB but still I am afraid to know the truth..I am sick of going to my ob.I started to have my fears.I get paranoid....

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a health problem that can affect a woman’s menstrual cycle, fertility, hormones, insulin production, heart, blood vessels, and appearance. Women with PCOS have these characteristics:
high levels of male hormones, also called androgens
an irregular or no menstrual cycle
may or may not have many small cysts in their ovaries. Cysts are fluid-filled sacs. PCOS is the most common hormonal reproductive problem in women of childbearing age. An estimated five to ten percent of them have PCOS.

Symptoms and Diagnosis
These are some of the symptoms of PCOS:
infrequentmenstrualperiods, no menstrual periods, and/or irregular bleeding
infertility or inability to get pregnant because of not ovulating
increased growth of hair on the face, chest, stomach, back, thumbs, or toes
acne, oily skin, or dandruff
pelvic pain
weight gain or obesity, usually carrying extra weight around the waist
type 2 diabetes
high cholesterol
high blood pressure
male-pattern baldness or thinning hair
patches of thickened and dark brown or black skin on the neck, arms, breasts, or thighs
skin tags, or tiny excess flaps of skin in the armpits or neck area
sleep apnea―excessive snoring and breathing stops at times while asleep

There is no single test to diagnose PCOS. Your doctor will take a medical history, perform a physical exam—possibly including an ultrasound, check your hormone levels, and measure glucose, or sugar levels, in the blood. If you are producing too many male hormones, the doctor will make sure it’s from PCOS. At the physical exam the doctor will want to evaluate the areas of increased hair growth, so try to allow the natural hair growth for a few days before the visit. During a pelvic exam, the ovaries may be enlarged or swollen by the increased number of small cysts. This can be seen more easily by vaginal ultrasound, or screening, to examine the ovaries for cysts and the endometrium. The endometrium is the lining of the uterus. The uterine lining may become thicker if there has not been a regular period.
Causes
No one knows the exact cause of PCOS. Women with PCOS frequently have a mother or sister with PCOS. But there is not yet enough evidence to say there is a genetic link to this disorder. Many women with PCOS have a weight problem. So researchers are looking at the relationship between PCOS and the body’s ability to make insulin. Insulin is a hormone that regulates the change of sugar, starches, and other food into energy for the body’s use or for storage. Since some women with PCOS make too much insulin, it’s possible that the ovaries react by making too many male hormones, called androgens. This can lead to acne, excessive hair growth, weight gain, and ovulation problems.
Cause of Ovulation Problems by PCOS
The ovaries are two small organs, one on each side of a woman's uterus. A woman's ovaries have follicles, which are tiny sacs filled with liquid that hold the eggs. These sacs are also called cysts. Each month about 20 eggs start to mature, but usually only one becomes dominant. As the one egg grows, the follicle accumulates fluid in it. When that egg matures, the follicle breaks open to release the egg so it can travel through the fallopian tube for fertilization. When the single egg leaves the follicle, ovulation takes place.
In women with PCOS, the ovary doesn't make all of the hormones it needs for any of the eggs to fully mature. They may start to grow and accumulate fluid. But no one egg becomes large enough. Instead, some may remain as cysts. Since no egg matures or is released, ovulation does not occur and the hormone progesterone is not made. Without progesterone, a woman’s menstrual cycle is irregular or absent. Also, the cysts produce male hormones, which continue to prevent ovulation.

TREATMENT

Because there is no cure for PCOS, it needs to be managed to prevent problems. Treatments are based on the symptoms each patient is having and whether she wants to conceive or needs contraception. Below are descriptions of treatments used for PCOS.
Birth control pills. For women who don’t want to become pregnant, birth control pills can regulate menstrual cycles, reduce male hormone levels, and help to clear acne. However, the birth control pill does not cure PCOS. The menstrual cycle will become abnormal again if the pill is stopped. Women may also think about taking a pill that only has progesterone, like Provera, to regulate the menstrual cycle and prevent endometrial problems. But progesterone alone does not help reduce acne and hair growth.
Diabetes Medications. The medicine, Metformin, also called Glucophage, which is used to treat type 2 diabetes, also helps with PCOS symptoms. Metformin affects the way insulin regulates glucose and decreases the testosterone production. Abnormal hair growth will slow down and ovulation may return after a few months of use. These medications will not cause a person to become diabetic.
Fertility Medications. The main fertility problem for women with PCOS is the lack of ovulation. Even so, her husband’s sperm count should be checked and her tubes checked to make sure they are open before fertility medications are used. Clomiphene (pills) and Gonadotropins (shots) can be used to stimulate the ovary to ovulate. PCOS patients are at increased risk for multiple births when using these medications. In vitro Fertilization (IVF) is sometimes recommended to control the chance of having triplets or more. Metformin can be taken with fertility medications and helps to make PCOS women ovulate on lower doses of medication.
Medicine for increased hair growth or extra male hormones. If a woman is not trying to get pregnant there are some other medicines that may reduce hair growth. Spironolactone is a blood pressure medicine that has been shown to decrease the male hormone’s effect on hair. Propecia, a medicine taken by men for hair loss, is another medication that blocks this effect. Both of these medicines can affect the development of a male fetus and should not be taken if pregnancy is possible. Other non-medical treatments such as electrolysis or laser hair removal are effective at getting rid of hair. A woman with PCOS can also take hormonal treatment to keep new hair from growing.
Surgery. Although it is not recommended as the first course of treatment, surgery called ovarian drilling is available to induce ovulation. The doctor makes a very small incision above or below the navel, and inserts a small instrument that acts like a telescope into the abdomen. This is called laparoscopy. The doctor then punctures the ovary with a small needle carrying an electric current to destroy a small portion of the ovary. This procedure carries a risk of developing scar tissue on the ovary. This surgery can lower male hormone levels and help with ovulation. But these effects may only last a few months. This treatment doesn't help with increased hair growth and loss of scalp hair.
A healthy weight. Maintaining a healthy weight is another way women can help manage PCOS. Since obesity is common with PCOS, a healthy diet and physical activity help maintain a healthy weight, which will help the body lower glucose levels, use insulin more efficiently, and may help restore a normal period. Even loss of 10% of her body weight can help make a woman's cycle more regular.

Thursday is a tiring day

Today is a very tiring day.I keep encoding, updating the records of all teaching and non-teaching personnel. I had no time to relax..How I wish I had companion in encoding and updating.More than 900 teachers and division personnel I will encode everyday. That is why I keep murmuring to myself, this is injustice responsibilities..lol...Even my boss doesn't realize how tiresome is my work..Can you imagine how plenty is my work, more than 900 personnel, entertain teachers request. Monitors teacher GSIS, Pag-ibig and Philhealth membership. I also prepare Advice Remittance Agency (ARA) in the GSIS.Liaison officer in GSIS, Fund Coordinator in Pag-ibig,submit membership to Philhealth Tagum..How can I have a time to relax? How I wish my boss will see how difficult and tiresome is my work.

Aside from that I also entertain urgent reports from our Administrative Officer. That is why most of the time I keep murmuring, I keep telling that I am tired..Nobody feels my sentiments...They don't even feel how difficult to monitor all the pertinent documents in our office, aside from that our office is not secure to keep all the records. It is an open office where all teachers can get in, get out in the office...

I rate myself today as a very tiring woman....lol...till then.. Need to rest...Thank you

Is Laughter The Best Medicine?

Just recently, I've read about how people get better if we laugh most often, but some researcher are not sure sure if it's actually the act of laughing that makes people feel better. An author quotes "I believe that if people can get more laughter in their lives, they are a lot better off," says Steve Wilson, M.A., CSP, a psychologist and laugh therapist. "They might be healthier, too."

Laughter Therapy: What Happens When We Laugh?

We change physiologically when we laugh. We stretch muscles throughout our face and body, our pulse and blood pressure go up, and we breathe faster, sending more oxygen to our tissues. People who believe in the benefits of laughter say it can be like a mild workout — and may offer some of the same advantages as a workout. "The effects of laughter and exercise are very similar," says Wilson. "Combining laughter and movement, like waving your arms, is a great way to boost your heart rate." One pioneer in laughter research, William Fry, claimed it took 10 minutes on a rowing machine for his heart rate to reach the level it would after just one minute of hearty laughter. And laughter appears to burn calories, too. Maciej Buchowski, a researcher from Vanderbilt University, conducted a small study in which he measured the amount of calories expended in laughing. It turned out that 10-15 minutes of laughter burned 50 calories. While the results are intriguing, don’t be too hasty in ditching that treadmill. One piece of chocolate has about 50 calories; at the rate of 50 calories per hour, losing one pound would require about 12 hours of concentrated laughter!

I miss my Dad

I am jealous and feel pity to see my friends having a dad. I feel that I am not secure everyday. I miss my dad very much. I keep praying that even in my dreams he will hug me, talk to me but until now I cannot feel his presence in my dream. Maybe or just a coincidence that my boyfriend is older than me. I want to have a father image that feels me secure. But having no father is not the cause of being unhappy.

February 25 is the birthday of my late dad. Eight days after his birthday he died, the next month thats March 12 its the birthday of my mom.Very painful to us knowing that we grew up too dependent to him. I know God has a plan to us...... Just keep trusting on Him/......

I really had a hard time fixing my blog to the point that I need to create another account for three times.

Anyway, yesterday I received my visa and ticket for Dubai. I do not know if I am happy, sad, it's a mix emotion , that finally I'll be going out, and face another lifystyle and experience being alone like no family to be with. No family to solve all my problems, help me with I am in trouble.

On the other hand, this is what I want, I want to be alone, to know myself better, and answer all my questions that I have right now. This is the first time that I will be far away to my mom. I feel that I am very dependent to them. I feel that I am useless, I feel that I have no firm decisions to myself.I feel that my self confidence is declining. I know going to Dubai is not simple but maybe all my doubts in life will be answered.

I am so thankful that even that I am so pampered with my mom , she is supportive. I can feel that on her part its difficult to leave. I am also greatful with my mom that she is always there to support my decision especially in going to Dubai for good.

Now, when I go back to my family, I will prove to them that I am more mature, independent woman.

Please pray for me that I will find myself in Dubai. Find my happiness, find my satisfaction. I hope that I will be a better person when I go back.

MY SOULMATE

Would You Believe?
Travel that has not been expected.....Is it coincidence? Destine? Meant to be?

Would you believe that Beverly and I will be going to Dubai? I told her that Bevz are we destine to each other? I was not expecting that I will be going with her.... Everytime we have an adventure we spend together, we smile together, we shout together. There is always a picture that signifies that we are together in that adventure. Isn't it funny? Even how hard, stiff, dangerous is the place we find time to take pictures for our documentations. Here in the Philippines we shared thoughts, ideas, feeling, money, but now, upon going to Dubai I'm sure that we crry together, we laugh together, we comfort each other ,in short we will treat ourselves as sisters. I am so thankful that she is very nice and friendly to me. I never thought that this would gonna happen to us. Hope that our friendship will last till we get old. Keep dreaming Bevz.

UNEMPLOYEMENT IN THE PHILIPPINES

Unemployment in the Philippines is getting bigger and bigger
What causes unemployment in the Philippines?

It is very painful for me seeing many professionals who have no work.With a growing population of about 8 million, millions needed jobs and only few can sure provide one and fortunately I belong to the few. As we can see in the television our politics now a days is very dirty, chaotic and most especially CORRUPTIONS are ramphant. It is obviously one of the most problem why our country Philippines suffer a scarcity. Plenty are suffering because of that so called corruption.The lack of investors and businesses that could provide good jobs for the Filipino people is one key factor in the growing unemployment in the Philippines. People are suffering from poverty. How can we stop this problem? Where can we blame on this jobless filipinos?.Filipinos are very talented but where are they now? They are neglicted by our government, its very hurting seeing them that they are jobless. I am praying and hoping that this problem will be solved as soon as possible.
Based on the web pls.see url: http://zamboangajournal.wordpress.com/2008/01/22/14-million-jobless-filipinos-excluded-in-govt-data/ 1.4 Jobless Filipinos Excluded in the Government Data.
January 22, 2008 at In 1 MANILA, Philippines (Mindanao Examiner / Jan. 22, 2008) – An independent think-tank IBON Foundation disputed Manila’s data on employment, estimating that government statistical manipulation removed over a million Filipinos from the official unemployment count.Government data showed that in 2007, there was an annual average of 2.7 million unemployed Filipinos, a steep drop from figures recorded in recent years.IBON research head Sonny Africa cited the recent IBON study that estimates at least 4.06 million jobless Filipinos and an unemployment rate of 10.8 percent. This was 1.4 more than the official count of 2.7 million, which placed the average unemployment rate for 2007 at just 7.3 percent.Average unemployment rate of 11.3% over the 2001-2007 period shows the economy is still suffering record joblessness despite government’s attempts to obscure the figures. Government reports lower joblessness only because it revised the definition of unemployment to exclude discouraged job hunters from the labor force count, not because the economy created more jobs, Africa said.The effect of this new methodology in 2007 was to dramatically reduce the labor force participation rate (the percentage of population 15 years and above who are in the labor force) to 64% from the 66.5% under the National Statistics Office (NSO) traditional unemployment definition.IBON had requested the NSO for employment figures based on the old methodology, but said that it no longer computed such labor force data, unlike in past years when it presented data using both methods.“This makes comparison of current employment data with previous years impossible as it paints a false picture of an improving jobs situation,” Africa said in a statement.IBON made its own estimates to roughly compare employment figures using both methods.Africa added that the 601,000 net additional jobs created in 2007 is just a 1.8% increase from the year before which is the slowest rate of job creation since the start of the Arroyo administration.The most jobs were created in domestic household help with 142,000 additional such jobs created.In contrast only 72,000 agriculture jobs and 4,000 manufacturing jobs were added. Employment and unemployment trends in 2007 then confirm the deep problems of the Philippine economy despite much hype about rapid economic growth and a “strengthening” peso, Africa said IBON Foundation, Inc. is an independent development institution established in 1978 that provides research, education, publications, information work and advocacy support on socioeconomic issues.
Summary: Unemployment has remained high in the Philippines, at almost twice the level of neighboring countries, despite relatively fast employment growth in the past decade. Employment growth was not sufficient to reduce unemployment because of rapid population growth and increased labor force participation. This paper shows that Philippine employment growth and unemployment declines were positively correlated with real GDP growth and, to a lesser extent, negatively with the real minimum wage. The key policy implications are that higher economic growth and moderation of increases in the real minimum wage are required to reduce unemployment.

Government reports lower joblessness only because it revised the definition of unemployment to exclude discouraged job hunters from the labor force count, not because the economy created more jobs, Africa said.The effect of this new methodology in 2007 was to dramatically reduce the labor force participation rate (the percentage of population 15 years and above who are in the labor force) to 64% from the 66.5% under the National Statistics Office (NSO) traditional unemployment definition.IBON had requested the NSO for employment figures based on the old methodology, but said that it no longer computed such labor force data, unlike in past years when it presented data using both methods.“This makes comparison of current employment data with previous years impossible as it paints a false picture of an improving jobs situation,” Africa said in a statement.IBON made its own estimates to roughly compare employment figures using both methods.Africa added that the 601,000 net additional jobs created in 2007 is just a 1.8% increase from the year before which is the slowest rate of job creation since the start of the Arroyo administration.The most jobs were created in domestic household help with 142,000 additional such jobs created.In contrast only 72,000 agriculture jobs and 4,000 manufacturing jobs were added. Employment and unemployment trends in 2007 then confirm the deep problems of the Philippine economy despite much hype about rapid economic growth and a “strengthening” peso, Africa said IBON Foundation, Inc. is an independent development institution established in 1978 that provides research, education, publications, information work and advocacy support on socioeconomic issues.
Summary: Unemployment has remained high in the Philippines, at almost twice the level of neighboring countries, despite relatively fast employment growth in the past decade. Employment growth was not sufficient to reduce unemployment because of rapid population growth and increased labor force participation. This paper shows that Philippine employment growth and unemployment declines were positively correlated with real GDP growth and, to a lesser extent, negatively with the real minimum wage. The key policy implications are that higher economic growth and moderation of increases in the real minimum wage are required to reduce unemployment.

Fashion News - What's Trendy in 2008?


By Michael Rad



A fashion conscious person never misses the fashion trends for the year to come. If you are already reading this article, this means that you are interested in what to wear in 2008. Do you like the fashion of the fifties? Well, you should, because it will come back in 2008 and that entire craze will be in style again. As a matter of fact, this trend of the 50s comeback has already started before 2008, so you are at least a bit familiar with the concept.
First things first: the spring summer fashion for 2008 will contain a lot of interesting models that clearly reminds us of the 50s. Baggy dresses below the knee for day wear or vaporous dresses for evening that will make the fashion in 2008. The trousers will be in fashion as well, and mini trousers may be worn as well. Capri trousers are still in style and may be worn with extra large sweaters. However, there is a trend that will mix styles, so sporty style will mix with the chic and there will be an ethno mix, which will result in some interesting combinations. The urban style will thus be a functional wardrobe with sporty details. This highly unlikely combination that comes as a surprise is like a breathe of fresh air.
The colors that are dominant for the style for 2008's spring and summer are the grey, black, white plus yellow. This color is a problematic color that does not suit with everything, so it must be worn with great care. However, next year, dare to wear yellow and see how it looks. The prints on the dresses or blouses can be floral, but they will become more abstract and even geometric or will totally lack. So uni is back in style. The accessories will match the outfit. The oversized bags are still in style, while the super huge earrings and necklaces will compliment the overall clothing.
The jewels may be made of plastic or more natural materials such as wood or even clay. These can be ethno influenced and create a great effect on the entire apparel, making the body look small and giving an interesting perspective. So, are you ready for spring and the summer of 2008? Get your wardrobe ready for this year's style and buy some great new trendy apparel online or in the stores that you usually visit. Now you know what to hunt for, just go and get them.

BUTTERFLY

Yesterday it was a tiring day, I was so busy doing all the reports to submit it in GSIS, Pag-ibig and Philhealth. Many teachers went to the office to request their service records, memberships and other pertinent documents that they need.One of our supervisors was telling to me that my client was a very close friend of her, she ordered me to entertain her immediately without knowing that I was telling my client to wait for a moment because the in charge of her request was not yet coming. It was disappointed because its like our supervisor telling that I was just sitting in the corner doing nothing,heller all of them were served the best that we can, I was just so upset because why some are abusing their powers to easily order us to make all things possible even it was not our work responsibility.My apology to say this,but this is how I feel..but anyway, my whole day was not actually a bad day for me,I was happy because a friend of mine gave me a huge Pooh..While going to Tagum to submit the remittance from our office there was a certain client whose name is Arden Nicer who paid my bus fare It was my lucky day yesterday I was given a huge Pooh coming from a Director of Registry of deeds his name is Atty. John Paul Devilleres every year he never forget to gave me a Pooh, my favorite stuff toys ever.Even it was raining all my transactions were fortunately successful. Thanks to the Lord He keep me safe always.

POOH

POOH OF MY LIFE



When I was young I love to collect toys, I feel complete when I see them smiling. Some of my toys are cost an arm and a leg I never regret it. I never not give a hoot what peoples say as long as I am happy. When I wake up everyday I could see in the eyes of my stuff toys smiling, its like their saying taken aback to me. It makes my day happy everyday. Even it is pittance I bought it if I like it. Since I am a nocturnal woman I always play my toys I talk to them and treated like they are my brothers,sisters and friends. Sometimes when I am sad I feel like my toys are crying too. Isn't it weird? Yeah, call whatever you want but this me, I am happy alone with my Poohs.Some of my toys are gargantuan. Some says this is my escape goat to my problem,actually they are partly right.But most of time I feel comfortable with my toys. I will share it to you my toys maybe, we do not know you are also having fun collecting toys. Just keep it and value and treasure them as your family because I am sure if you have an anxiety if you have no one to talk to just go look into your room their are willing to listen to your pain even they cannot talk just to relieve your pain. For me, on my part all my worries and anxiety I shared it to my toys. I feel safe when I talk to my stuff toys.One thing for sure, let yourself free like a bird, fly anywhere just avoid hurting anyones heart.How I wish I am like a birds I can fly high..........

sometimes you cannot control
our emotions
that brings us to depressions
Life is a mysteriouss
you are astound of what you feelyou cry

Life is a game you make a deal or no deal
sometimes take the risk
No matter how life goes on
you will remain strong and have faith on HIM
Life is what you make it
you make our own destiny
whether its bad or good
Hold on what you believe
what is rightand have courage
to fight for it
becauselife is short
Make your Life meaningful
as meaningful as you
Fight whatever circumstances
that you face
No matter how painful it is
Life is the most valuable gift that you receive

Is Thesis Writing Difficult and Expensive?

Many professionals like me want to enroll in masteral degree. They define it difficult and expensive, some would just nodding their heads and saying "da master master wala japon tay trabaho"..I was so excited when my mom said do you like to enroll masteral? When I heard that, partly I am excited and feeling nervous, because I felt that I can't do it and I find it difficult, yes, you have read it right very difficult.In some reasons I accept the offer of my mom, first, I can escape the household chores, 2Nd to have an allowance even I work already, but I demand it to my mom as an agreement that I would finished the "Masteral course" and lastly, is to find at peace to myself I can date of course,well since Davao is partly away of Panabo City so I enjoyed very much being alone and independent even in just a day. I am always present in the class do some reporting and paper works and other stuff.
When I get into the class and finished the academic requirements I can proudly say that "kaya ko pala" I can do it without any hesitation though there are times that I can feel that my heart is beating very fast because of so many reports and you know its like a college class talking in front of your classmates.During my thesis writing I can feel the stress, I can feel that my flesh is chilling due to nervousness hahahha very funny isn't it? I found it really difficult at first why? First, I need to find a title that is very unique and interesting,,here comes now the title, wew, I am very disappointed because my title was disapproved by my professor. That time I was planning to drop my subject because of the frustrations that I feel but because of the expenses, my conscience bothers me, I am afraid that my mom will get frustrated on me that's why I work it hard, very hard. Finally, my title was approved. So my professor set a date for my title defense, and another heart attack and a nose bleed. Some are asking, is title defense difficult?
Now, I am proud to inform them that it was just like an interview, as long as you know to how defend your title then that's it.And so, I had my adviser,I again set another date for my outline defense, another nosebleed and a little nervous at the same excited because I know already my study. Another students ask me, Is outline defense difficult?. Again, with a smile I am proud to say that the outline defense is not difficult as long as your the one making your thesis then no problem at all, it's just a matter of reporting telling the panelists that this your study.this is bla bla bla and all. Again, I set a date for my final defense yeheeeeyyyyyy, and that was September 15,2007. This is the time that I feel very relax and very excited because finally I made it this far... I text my statiscian and my adviser to help me in my final defense and you know what they said to me " you can do it analyn just master your study and pray". Upon reading it I started to believe in myself that I can do it.. So, finally when I enter the defense room only words that come out to my mouth is I surrender everything to you Lord, please help me. So the panelists quite impress to my study,,ops I am not bragging it ha,, I am just telling the truth hehehhehe..Here comes the interrogation.. .... and the ending the chairman informed me as well as my adviser that I passed the Final defense and I need to make a hard bound copy of my study ...yeheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..
Again, some are asking is final defense difficult? I tell them that if you have guts, courage and especially patience nothing to worry in you thesis writing.....Now Is Thesis Writing Difficult and Expesive?hmmm.. At first it was difficult but in the long run, actually it was like your making your home delight... Expensive? Yes, it is .. I spent I think more than 60k for the entire study...

I am like a pencil

How You're Like A Pencil —
8 months agoHarmony Girl as Geeze (http://www.43things.com/entries/view/1824501)
Did you know that you are like a pencil?Here’s how:
1. Like a pencil, you can correct your mistakes. You can’t change the past, but you can rectify it. And though you can’t erase history, you can erase guilt and anger with forgiveness.
2. Like a pencil, painful sharpening can serve to make you better. Your difficult times can actually sharpen your skills or shape you into the person you were meant to be.
3. Like a pencil, you can do great things when you allow yourself to be held in Someone’s hand.
4. Like a pencil, you can leave your mark whenever possible. That is what you’re here for—to leave your mark. It may be in small ways, it may be in the lives of people you have touched or nurtured, but you must leave something good behind whenever you can.
5. Like a pencil, it is what is on the inside that matters. Whether it is understanding or intolerance, love or bitterness, peace or unrest, kindness or self-centeredness, hope or despair, courage or fear, what is on the inside matters most.
Next time you use a pencil, pause and think about that little writing tool. It teaches some great lessons about living!
