Anonymous Diary Blog / After 7 long years of waiting...
December 14, 2007, 03:52:06 PM
yes, after 7 years I am pregnant again, the second time. Guess, 7 is just our lucky number…lolz. Some friends do find time to email me every now and then just to check on me and I am really touched by their mails. Even though, we’ve only known each other online (digital world kuno!). truly, I miss the people here. That is why, I am here again mg samok-samok napud ko…lolz. This is my story…

The pregnancy… when I missed my period last September, it was my husbands idea to have a pregnancy test at home, he was even the one who bought the pregnancy kit at the pharmacy and according to him all the saleslady were looking at him and laughing....lolz. And then there was it, after a few minutes the kit says + and he was jumping with joy, he was even shouting, hugging and kissing me all over. The sweetest moment that I have to cherish forever. But that happiness soon became sadness for all of us for he has to leave again for work the next day. My husband is an OFW in Saudi Arabia, working his butts off to make sure all the ATM in the kingdom is in perfect working condition. that’s what he does. He is one of the thousands of Engineer working in the Middle East trying to give his family the best of everything. Enduring the heat, the sand and most of all the homesickness. If only, Philippines had better economy like the rest of the world then we wouldn’t want to live apart from each other. Coz it’s really hard and painful.

My first visit to the doctor was really, really heartbreaking. I was on my 8th week then that the doctor advised me to have TVS ultrasound just to make sure if the baby is okay since I had some spotting earlier. The sonologist (also an OB/GYN doctor) found out that I had SUBCHRONIC HEMORRHAGE which means there’s an internal bleeding around my uterus and there’s a 50-50 chance of miscarriage if the bleeding won’t stop. So I had to take a lot of medicines for it and my Ob advised me to have a complete bed rest for the first trimester of my pregnancy. ‘Twas the hardest days of my life. Waking up in early in the morning, taking various meds, hoping and praying that the baby inside me would survive. Explaining everyday to my son that her yaya will be the one to assist his needs for the meantime coz I had to lie on the bed the entire day for the baby’ sake.  And thank God, he understands everything that’s happening and he adjusted well. Now, im on my 16th week of pregnancy and yesterday I visited my Ob again, there’s been  positive development and she said that my baby would survive 90% since the spotting had stop and she can already detect my baby’s heartbeat via Doppler. And it’s really a good sign. Right now, im still on a complete bed rest and meds. I will be online here in TB every now and then but not like  before nga akong dagway naa ra sa TB…lolz. Coz resting is still my main priority and gaining weight…hahaha! Besides 1 or 2hours being online is already very stressful for me right now…hehehe!

p.s.

thanks admin and happy for reminding me that I still belong here! Daghan na kayo ko na miss na topics…soon I’ll catch up!  :) :D

Jokes and Humor / Little Leroy
July 19, 2007, 10:34:07 AM
Little Leroy came into the kitchen where his mother was making dinner. His birthday was coming up and he
thought this was a good time to tell his mother what he wanted. "Mom, I want a bike for my birthday."

Little Leroy was a bit of a troublemaker. He had gotten into trouble at school and at home. Leroy's mother asked him if he thought he deserved to get a bike for his birthday. Little Leroy, of course, thought he did. Leroy's mother, being a Christian woman, wanted him to reflect on his behavior over the last year and write a letter to God and tell him why he deserved a bike for his birthday.

Little Leroy stomped up the steps to his room and sat down to write God a letter.

LETTER 1:
Dear God,
I have been a very good boy this year
and I would like a bike For my birthday.
I want a red one.
Your friend, Leroy

Leroy knew this wasn't true. He had not been a very good boy this year, so he tore up the letter and started over.

LETTER 2:
Dear God:
This is your friend Leroy. I have been
a pretty good boy this year, and I
would like a red bike for my birthday.
Thank you, Leroy

Leroy knew this wasn't true either. He tore up the letter and started again.

LETTER 3:
Dear God:
I have been an OK boy this year and I
would really like a red bike for my
birthday.
Leroy

Leroy knew he could not send this letter to God either, so he wrote another letter.

LETTER 4:
Dear God:
I know I haven't been a good boy this
year. I am very sorry. I will be a
good boy if you just send me a red
bike for my birthday.
Thank you, Leroy

Leroy knew, even if it was true, this letter was not going to get him a bike. By now, Leroy was very upset. He went downstairs and told his mother he wanted to go to church. Leroy's mother thought her plan had worked because Leroy looked very sad. "Just be home in time for dinner," his mother said. Leroy walked down the street to the church and up to the altar. He Looked around to see if anyone was
there. He picked up a statue of the Virgin Mary. He slipped it under his shirt and ran out of the church, down the street, into his house, and up to his room. He shut the door to his room and sat down with a piece of paper and a pen. Leroy began to write his final letter to God.

LETTER 5:
I GOT YOUR MAMA.
IF YOU WANT TO SEE HER AGAIN, SEND THE
BIKE.
Signed,
YOU KNOW WHO

Love Talk / Love Advices....
June 27, 2007, 02:47:15 PM
With these practical and simple love advice, you can work your way around nearly of any crisis. So don’t give up yet. And better, strengthen your love bonds; as love is richer than all the gold put together and more beautiful than the nature itself.

Build a Bridge of Communication
The best way to enhance any relationship is through communication. If there is open communication there is hardly any room for misunderstanding or secrets. You will feel free and your love life will only turn towards the positive side.

But never use words to hurt someone’s feeling. Words leave a lasting impression whether positive or negative. So speak only good things. And even if you are angry, take control and speak after your anger has subsided. Let your heart do the talking not the ego or the anger.


Listen to Your Sweetheart
Well love not only means to speak but to listen also. This is one love advice that is useful for all relationships. Communication and listening go hand in hand. So understand the importance of both. When your sweetheart wants to say something, give him/her your undivided attention. If you feel you are completely stressed out and can’t give your 100% then say it politely like, “sweetheart can I freshen up and then we can sit and talk?” She’ll surely respect you for being honest. See the situation and react appropriately.

When you are listening, make sure your body as well as your mind is there. You can’t be doing justice to your relationship if you are thinking about something else. An occasional nodding of the head will reassure your partner that you understand what he/she is saying.

Also don’t jump at every sentence to give advice. Let her finish first and then you start speaking.

Praise Your Partner
Praising goes a long way. Most of the time the person we love hear praises least. So remember to praise your beloved once in a while. Leave small thank you chits to show your appreciation. When among friends and family praise him/her for being considerate and helpful. After all even the smallest gesture is an expression of love that should be reciprocated whenever possible.

Say “I am Sorry”
Well in this love advice we are telling you something that you know already and yet it is difficult to implement it. Saying sorry to anybody is never easy. Most of the times our pride comes in our way. But these three simple words are very effective, easily when it can save from building lot of resentment.

So the next time you have a fight, and you are at the wrong end say these simple three words and patch for the lost time. If you are finding it difficult to say it in person, take some help. You can write a big sorry note and pin it on the wall. Or you can write it on small chits on stick ons and leave it around the house. Sorry cards and flowers are also a good way to show that you really mean what you are saying. Let love be the only feeling that you two share, not resentment and misunderstanding.

Bible Study / A Creed To Live By
June 27, 2007, 02:20:16 PM
Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.

Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.

Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for without them life is meaningless.

Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life.

Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each other.

Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give love. The fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

Don't dismiss your dreams. To be without dreams is to be without hope; to be without hope is to be without purpose.

Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where you're going. Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.

Bible Study / Life's Little Instructions
June 27, 2007, 12:43:22 PM
Every so often you push your luck.
Never underestimate the power of a kind word or deed.
Never give up on anybody -- miracles happen every day.
Become the most positive and enthusiastic person you know.
Learn to listen.
Think big thoughts, but relish small pleasures.
Don't expect others to listen to your advice or ignore your example.
Opportunity sometimes knocks very softly.
Leave everything a little better than you found it.
Don't forget: a person's emotional need is to feel appreciated.
Never waste an opportunity to tell someone you love them.
Treat everyone you meet like you want to be treated.
Make new friends but cherish the old ones.
Don't use time or words carelessly, neither can be retrieved.
Judge your success by the degree that you're enjoying peace, health, and love.
Smile a lot: it costs nothing and is beyond price.

Bible Study / The Wise Woman's Stone
June 27, 2007, 12:41:35 PM


A wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious stone in a stream. The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him. She did so without hesitation. The traveler left rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime.

But, a few days later, he came back to return the stone to the wise woman. "I've been thinking," he said. "I know how valuable this stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious. Give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me this stone."

Sometimes it not the wealth you have but what's inside you that others need.

Bible Study / Judge Gently
June 27, 2007, 12:35:18 PM
Pray don't find fault with the man who limps
or stumbles along the road,
unless you have worn the shoes he wears
or struggled beneath his load.
There may be tacks in his shoes that hurt,
thought hidden away from view,
or the burden he bears, placed on your back
might cause you to stumble too.
Don't sneer at the man who's down today
unless you have felt the blow
that cause his fall or felt the shame
that only the fallen know.
You may be strong, but still the blows
that were his if dealt to you,
in the selfsame way, at the selfsame time,
might cause you to stagger too.
Don't be too harsh with the man who sins
or pelt him with word or stone,
unless you are sure, yea, doubly sure,
that you have no sins of your own-
for you know perhaps if the tempter's voice
should whisper as softly to you
as it did to him when he went astray,
it might cause you to stumble too.

An LA lawyer parks his brand new Porsche in front of
the office to show it off to his colleagues. As
he?s getting out of the car, a semi-trailer comes
flying along too close to the kerb and takes off
the door before speeding off.


Distraught, the lawyer grabs his mobile and calls
the cops. Five minutes later, the police arrive.
Before the cop has a chance to ask any questions,
the lawyer starts screaming hysterically: ?My Porsche,
My beautiful silver Porsche is ruined. No matter how
long it?s at the panel beaters it?ll simply never be
the same again!?


After the lawyer finally finishes his rant, the
policeman shakes his head in disgust. ?I can?t believe
how materialistic you bloody lawyers are,? he says.
?You lot are so focused on your possessions that you
don?t notice anything else in your life.?


?How can you say such a thing at a time like this??

realize that your right arm was torn off when

Researchers from the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at Georgetown University have shown how an ingredient found in chocolate seems to exert its anti-cancer properties - findings that might be used one day to design novel cancer treatments. The study, published in the April issue of the journal Molecular Cancer Therapeutics, explains how pentameric procyanidin (pentamer), a natural compound found in cocoa, deactivates a number of proteins that likely work in concert to push a cancer cell to continually divide.

Chocolate is made from the beans of cacao trees, and, like some other plants, are rich in natural antioxidants known as flavonoids. These antioxidants may protect cells from the damage caused by unstable molecules known as free radicals, which are thought to contribute to both heart disease and cancer development. The primary family of flavonoids contributing to the antioxidant benefit in chocolate is the procyanidins, and of the various types of procyanidins, pentamer seem to be strongest, according to a number of studies.

Jokes and Humor / Computers
June 09, 2007, 01:24:39 AM
A language instructor was explaining to her class that in French,
nouns unlike their English counterparts, are grammatically
designated as masculine or feminine. "House," in French,
is feminine - "la maison.""Pencil," in French, is masculine
"le crayon."

One puzzled student asked, "What gender is 'computer'?"
The teacher did not know, and the word wasn't in her French
dictionary. So for fun she split the class into two groups
appropriately enough, by gender and asked them to decide
whether "computer" should be a masculine or feminine noun.
Both groups were required to give four reasons for their
recommendation.

The men's group decided that computers should definitely be
of the feminine gender ("la computer"), because:

1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;
2. The native language they use to communicate with other
computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory
for possible later retrieval;
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself
spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.

The women's group, however, concluded that computers should
be masculine ("le computer"), because:

1. In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on;
2. They have a lot of data but they are still clueless;
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time
they ARE the problem;
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you'd waited
a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.

Jokes and Humor / Hotel in France
June 09, 2007, 01:18:44 AM
A Filipino is having breakfast in a hotel in France one morning...
coffee, croissants, bread, butter, jam when an American, chewing gum,
sits down next to him.

The Pinoy ignores the Kano (slang for americans) who, nevertheless,
starts a conversation:

*Kano: "You Filipinos eat the whole bread??"
*Pinoy: (nayayabangan sa Kano): "Of course."
*Kano: (after blowing a huge bubble) "We don't. In America, we only eat
what's inside. The crusts we collect in a container, recycle it,
transform them into croissants and sell them to the Philippines."

The American has a smirk on his face. The Pinoy listens in silence.
Still the American persists.

*Kano: "Do you eat jelly with the bread??"
*Pinoy: "Of Course."
*Kano: (cracking his gum between his teeth and chuckling). "We don't.
In America we eat fresh fruits for breakfast, then we put all the peels,
seeds, and leftovers in containers, recycle them, transform them into
jam and sell the jam to the Philippines."

The Pinoy (asar na talaga) asks: "Do you have sex in America?"
*Kano: "Why, of course we do."
*Pinoy: (now smirking): "And what do you do with the condoms once you've
used them?"
*Kano: (a bit puzzled): "We throw them away, of course."
*Pinoy: "We don't. In my beloved Philippines, we put them in a
container, recycle them, melt them into chewing gum and sell them to
America."

Jokes and Humor / How God made the Philippines
June 09, 2007, 01:13:43 AM
Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Heaven , God was missing for six days. Eventually, Michael the Archangel found him, resting on the seventh day. He inquired of God, "Where have you been?"

God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, "Look, Michael. Look what I've made."

Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, "What is it?"

"It's a planet," replied God, "and I've put Life on it. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a great place of balance."

"Balance?" inquired Michael, still confused. God explained, Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth, but cold and harsh while pointing to different parts of earth. "For example, Northern southern Europe is going to be poor but sunny and pleasant."

"I have made some lands abundant in water and other lands parched deserts."
"This one will be extremely hot, while this one will be very cold and covered in ice."

The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a group of Islands and said, "What are those?"

"Ah," said God. "That's the Philippines , the most glorious place on earth. There are beautiful beaches, rivers, mountains and forests. The people from the Philippines are going to be handsome, modest, intelligent and humorous and they are going to be found traveling the world. They will be extremely sociable, hardworking and high achieving and they will be known throughout the world as carriers of peace and love."

Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed, "What about balance, God? You said there would be balance." God replied wisely,

"Wait until you see the idiots that are elected as their leaders."

The role of water in weight loss can’t be overemphasized. Keep drinking those fluids while losing weight.

Water plays an enormous role in how well our body functions. Simply put, the more fresh water we drink, the healthier we become. Weight loss can also be achieved by drinking the right amount of water daily. Various advantages of drinking water include:

Water helps maintain muscle tone, weight loss, clear and healthy skin. It helps prevent lower back pain, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, headaches, migraines, asthma, allergies, colitis, rheumatoid, arthritis, depression, hypertension, cholesterol, hangovers, neck pain, muscle pain, joint pain, bloating, constipation, ulcers, low energy levels, stomach pain, confusion and disorientation.

Water regulates body temperature, remove toxins and wastes, cushion and lubricate joints, decrease risk of kidney stones, protect tissues, organs and the spinal cord from shock and damage.

Water assists in the digestion & absorption of food, and in transporting oxygen and nutrients to the cells. Drinking water is extremely beneficial for weight loss.

There are many benefits associated with a higher intake of water:
Water contains no calories, fat, or cholesterol and is low in sodium It is also a natural appetite suppressant. Studies have proved that a low consumption of water allows more fat to be deposited instead of being metabolized into energy. Thus, higher the consumption of water, lower is the amount of fat deposited.

Water regulates all bodily functions including the activities of circulating and dissolving. Every enzymatic and chemical reaction of the body occurs in the presence of water. Water also transports hormones, nutrients, oxygen and antibodies through the blood stream and lymphatic system. In addition, our bodies' proteins and enzymes are more efficient in solutions of lower viscosity (i.e., diluted), thus helping in weight loss and fitness. Muscles are primarily composed of water.

Therefore, it's only logical to drink lots of water if you want to have more muscle mass. Water also ensures that a proper muscle contraction can be achieved so that the working muscle is properly exhausted. This again prevents deposition of fat.

Health and Food / South Beach Diet
June 09, 2007, 12:29:11 AM
Most people are sick of trying new diets for one reason â€" they do not work! What makes the South Beach Diet different is that it teaches a way of life where you rely on the right carbohydrates and fats. This new way of eating allows you to live contently without eating the bad carbohydrates and fats. In contrast, when a person eats bad carbohydrates and fats they feel hungrier, causing them to eat more, which causes weight gain. In exchange for eating right, you become healthier and can enjoy an 8 to 13 pound weight loss in just two weeks!

The Diet was created by Dr. Arthur Agatston, a highly respected cardiologist, to work with your body safely and effectively. This diet works in phases, the first two for a specific timeframe and the third phase for life. With this new approach, you can stop counting calories, stop weighing food portions, and stop feeling as though you are deprived from eating good-tasting and satisfying food! Actually, you will be eating three, normal-size meals but wait, that not all! You will also get two snacks each day and with meal plans that are designed to be flexible, you can enjoy a variety, based on what sounds good to you on any particular day.

Best of all, you will see amazing results in a short amount of time. Your hips, thighs, and stomach will be thinner, the number on the scales will go down, and all those overwhelming food cravings will be gone! Just imagine losing weight while still enjoying many of your favorite foods. With the diet, you can dine on mouth-watering foods like Chicken en Papillote, Shrimp Louis, and even Chocolate Sponge Cake and still lose the weight!

South Beach Diet Phase
There are basically three phases in SB Diet. You eat normal portion sizes In Phase 1, but all carbohydrate are restricted. This is the strictest phase in the diet and will last for two weeks. It emphasizes lean meats, such as chicken, turkey, fish, and shellfish. Low-Glycemic-index vegetables are allowed as well as low-fat cheese, nuts, eggs. Dieters should expect to lose somewhere between 8 to 12 pounds. In Phase 2, some of the banned food are slowly introduced while weight loss continue to around 1-2 pounds per week. You should remain on it until you lost your desired amount of weight. Phase 3 is for maintenance and should be followed for life. Is all about maintaining your desired weight with a healthy balanced diet. Should your weight begin to climb, simply return to Phase 1.

Ubay - Bohol / ...Latest News: RORO Port
June 03, 2007, 03:42:55 PM
THE Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) has allocated P44 million for the reclamation, widening of the causeway and construction of a roll on-roll-off ramp for the port of Ubay town.

In a letter to Gov. Erico Aumentado, General Manager Oscar Sevilla said the PPA already conducted a pre-bid conference last Dec. 20 for projects nationwide to include the Ubay port. He said construction will start within the first quarter of 2007.

“Atty. Sevilla’s letter is in response to our request to include the extension, expansion and improvement of the Ubay port in PPA’s Port Development Program for 2007,” Aumentado said.
The governor earlier learned that PPA allocated P2.7 billion for ports development in the country especially those covered by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s Strong Republic Nautical Highway, hence the request. Ubay is strategically located along this nautical highway.

To note, Bohol is set to develop its first-ever Special Economic Zone (SEZ) â€" a 40-hectare consolidated area in Barangay Achila in Ubay, with another 180 hectares nearby for a housing project â€" just a mere three kilometers from the port, he justified.

The Ubay Port is Bohol’s principal gateway to Leyte, Samar, Matnog in Sorsogon and on to Pasay City and back to Bohol where Megastar and Philtranco have at least twice daily trips.

It is also Bohol’s gateway to Mindanao via Southern Leyte and on to Surigao del Norte and other Mindanao destinations with Bachelor and Ceres bus lines set to use the port for the purpose.

Aumentado who hails from the town said the port has also been giving Ubayanos and other Boholanos the convenience of an embarkation point of passengers for Cebu, the hub of Central Visayas , through four vessels plying the route daily.

Ubay is the commercial center of northeastern Bohol , the biggest of the 47 towns in terms of population, land area and income. The only first class municipality in Bohol , Ubay is targeted to be the next city, he said.

With the justification, Sevilla expressed appreciation over the governor’s interest in port development in Bohol .

“Please rest assured that your concerns are being addressed,” he said.

Introduce Yourself / usa ka BOHOLANA!
June 03, 2007, 03:02:24 PM
Three passions have governed my life:
The longings for love, the search for knowledge,
And unbearable pity for the suffering of [humankind].

Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness.
In the union of love I have seen
In a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision
Of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined.

With equal passion I have sought knowledge.
I have wished to understand the hearts of [people].
I have wished to know why the stars shine.

Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens,
But always pity brought me back to earth;
Cries of pain reverberated in my heart
Of children in famine, of victims tortured
And of old people left helpless.
I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot,
And I too suffer.

This has been my life; I found it worth living.
