La tensión viene otra vez Durante la mañana, podía acabar de embalar mis cosas. Después de todo, me iré para la Facultad de Medicina el 29 de agosto. Pero todavía no puedo tomar mi mente de mi familia y de estar lejos de ellos otra vez. He sido de fuera por cuatro años ya para la universidad. Ahora. Otra vez. Cuatro más años para la Facultad de Medicina y entonces para la implantación.

¡Señor mi dios! Ruego a señor Jesús para satisfacer tomo cuidado de mi familia. Para continuamente vigilar ellos y concederles paz y comodidad. Para continuar bendiciendo mi madre, mi padre, mi hermana, y a mis dos hermanos.

SEÃ'OR, MI DIOS,

Bendígame por favor y vigílelo mí que puedo poder estudiar correctamente, aprender y reiterar mi conocimiento. Para poder tomar el cuidado de mis pacientes y glorificar sus trabajos.

¡Mi señor Mi Dios! ¡Esto que pido de usted, mi señor y salvador!

En nombre de Jesucristo.

AMEN

Very religious bitaw ang mga Bolanon. Dinhi galing sa Southern New Jersey we have an annual dedication and benediction for the Blessed Santo Nino, which goes from house to house. Last time ning anhi ang  Blessed Senor Santo Nino; over 30 some Bisayans came.

It was a cultural experience for me and my siblings because there was an older lady who led the prayer dedication and said the prayer in Bisaya.

When i heard it I immediately thought and remembered of my Lolas who used to pray devotional prayers to the Blessed Santo Nino.

It gives you a deep appreciation jud of the religiosity of the Filipino in general.

Malipong diay ka when you see dugo, 'te?

You know what helps? Cold water and gum.

hahaha especially if you go to one of those classic American Steak houses.

Patay jud!

My friends love it jud, steak with beer.

Kuyaw kaayo ang process to install it jud 'te. They had me go into the surgical floor one time and they were literally installing it on the patient. It is amazing that the podiatric surgeons literally manipulate the blood flow. They are able to 'clip' or stop the flow of blood into the legs during surgery.

The patient, who was given Demerol, was partially analgesicized, couldn't feel anything below his hip. But he was still able to move his lower muscles, 'te.

And the leg was exposed and I could literally see his muscles costrict, release, could see the bones during duraflexion, etc.

Amazing kaayo. ABSOLUTELY amazing.

There really is nothing like Medicine.

When I was exploring into Podiatry last year, I was accepted into the OCPM (Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine) Professional Internship, which showed me the aspects of Podiatry.

The most amazing aspect, in my opinion, has got to be Reconstructive Podiatric Surgery .

They can literally replace and or fix destroyed regions of the calcaneal bone, and or the entire metatarsal. They use EF or known as External Fixators.

Like this:


External Fixators attached tot he lower tibia and fibula.

In this example, the patient had a severed and cracked fibula; the external fixators were placed to allow the marrow to grow and realign the damaged fibula. Within a good 2-3 weeks, the bone will heal; then the external fixators will be removed.

This procedure is called Reconstructive Fibular Surgery.

The procedure itself will cost the patient anywhere between $75,000 to $100,000.

Its explained in physics, Bem.

For thousands of years, astronomers wrestled with basic questions about the size and age of the universe. Does the universe go on forever, or does it have an edge somewhere? Has it always existed, or did it come to being some time in the past? In 1929, Edwin Hubble, an astronomer at Caltech, made a critical discovery that soon led to scientific answers for these questions: he discovered that the universe is expanding.

The ancient Greeks recognized that it was difficult to imagine what an infinite universe might look like. But they also wondered that if the universe were finite, and you stuck out your hand at the edge, where would your hand go? The Greeks' two problems with the universe represented a paradox - the universe had to be either finite or infinite, and both alternatives presented problems.

After the rise of modern astronomy, another paradox began to puzzle astronomers. In the early 1800s, German astronomer Heinrich Olbers argued that the universe must be finite. If the Universe were infinite and contained stars throughout, Olbers said, then if you looked in any particular direction, your line-of-sight would eventually fall on the surface of a star. Although the apparent size of a star in the sky becomes smaller as the distance to the star increases, the brightness of this smaller surface remains a constant. Therefore, if the Universe were infinite, the whole surface of the night sky should be as bright as a star. Obviously, there are dark areas in the sky, so the universe must be finite.

But, when Isaac Newton discovered the law of gravity, he realized that gravity is always attractive. Every object in the universe attracts every other object. If the universe truly were finite, the attractive forces of all the objects in the universe should have caused the entire universe to collapse on itself. This clearly had not happened, and so astronomers were presented with a paradox.

When Einstein developed his theory of gravity in the General Theory of Relativity, he thought he ran into the same problem that Newton did: his equations said that the universe should be either expanding or collapsing, yet he assumed that the universe was static. His original solution contained a constant term, called the cosmological constant, which cancelled the effects of gravity on very large scales, and led to a static universe. After Hubble discovered that the universe was expanding, Einstein called the cosmological constant his "greatest blunder."

At around the same time, larger telescopes were being built that were able to accurately measure the spectra, or the intensity of light as a function of wavelength, of faint objects. Using these new data, astronomers tried to understand the plethora of faint, nebulous objects they were observing. Between 1912 and 1922, astronomer Vesto Slipher at the Lowell Observatory in Arizona discovered that the spectra of light from many of these objects was systematically shifted to longer wavelengths, or redshifted. A short time later, other astronomers showed that these nebulous objects were distant galaxies.

--

The equations of the expanding universe have three possible solutions, each of which predicts a different eventual fate for the universe as a whole. Which fate will ultimately befall the universe can be determined by measuring how fast the universe expands relative to how much matter the universe contains.

The three possible types of expanding universes are called open, flat, and closed universes. If the universe were open, it would expand forever. If the universe were flat, it would also expand forever, but the expansion rate would slow to zero after an infinite amount of time. If the universe were closed, it would eventually stop expanding and recollapse on itself, possibly leading to another big bang. In all three cases, the expansion slows, and the force that causes the slowing is gravity.

A simple analogy to understand these three types of universes is to consider a spaceship launched from the surface of the Earth. If the spaceship does not have enough speed to escape the Earth's gravity, it will eventually fall back to Earth. This is analogous with a closed universe that recollapses. If the spaceship is given enough speed so that it has just enough energy to escape, then at an infinite distance away from the Earth, it will come to a stop (this is the flat universe). And lastly, if the ship is launched with more than enough energy to escape, it will always have some speed, even when it is an infinite distance away (the open universe).

The Creation of the Identity of 'Satan'

SATAN.

After having been thrown out of Heaven with his crew, Satan lay nine days in the burning lake into which he fell. Then, rousing himself, he rose from the liquid flames, flew over the lake, and alighting upon the solid though burning land, thus addressed Beelzebub, who had accompanied him.

“Is this the region, this the soil, the clime,"
  Said then the lost Archangel, “this the seat
  That we must change for Heaven?â€"this mournful gloom
  For that celestial light? Be it so, since He
  Who now is sovran can dispose and bid
  What shall be right: farthest from Him is best,
  Whom reason hath equalled, force hath made supreme
  Above his equals. Farewell, happy fields,
  Where joy forever dwells! Hail, horrors! hail,
  Infernal World! and thou, profoundest Hell,
  Receive thy new possessorâ€"one who brings
  A mind not to be changed by place or time.
  The mind is its own place, and in itself
  Can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven.
  What matter where, if I be still the same,
  And what I should be, all but less than he
  Whom thunder hath made greater? Here at least
  We shall be free; the Almighty hath not built
  Here for his envy, will not drive us hence:
  Here we may reign secure; and, in my choice,
  To reign is worth ambition, though in Hell:
  Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven.
  But wherefore let we then our faithful friends,
  The associates and co-partners of our loss,
  Lie thus astonished on the oblivious pool,
  And call them not to share with us their part
  In this unhappy mansion, or once more
  With rallied arms to try what may be yet
  Regained in Heaven, or what more lost in Hell?”

  So Satan spake; and him Beelzebub
  Thus answered:â€""Leader of those armies bright
  Which, but the Omnipotent, none could have foiled!
  If once they hear that voice, their liveliest pledge
  Of hope in fears and dangersâ€"heard so oft
  In worst extremes, and on the perilous edge
  Of battle, when it raged, in all assaults
  Their surest signalâ€"they will soon resume
  New courage and revive, though now they lie
  Grovelling and prostrate on yon lake of fire,
  As we erewhile, astounded and amazed;
  No wonder, fallen from such pernicious highth!”

  He scarce had ceased when the superior Fiend
  Was moving toward the shore; his ponderous shield,
  Ethereal temper, massy, large, and round,
  Behind him cast. The broad circumference
  Hung on his shoulders like the moon, whose orb
  Through optic glass the Tuscan artist views
  At evening, from the top of Fesolè,
  Or in Valdarno, to descry new lands,
  Rivers, or mountains, in her spotty globe.
  His spearâ€"to equal which the tallest pine
  Hewn on Norwegian hills, to be the mast
  Of some great ammiral, were but a wandâ€"
  He walked with, to support uneasy steps
  Over the burning marle, not like those steps
  On Heaven’s azure; and the torrid clime
  Smote on him sore besides, vaulted with fire.
  Nathless he so endured, till on the beach
  Of that inflamèd sea he stood, and called
  His legionsâ€"Angel Forms, who lay entranced
  Thick as autumnal leaves that strow the brooks
  In Vallombrosa, where the Etrurian shades
  High over-arched embower; or scattered sedge
  Afloat, when the fierce winds Orion armed
  Hath vexed the Red-Sea coast, whose waves o’erthrew
  Busiris and his Memphian chivalry,
  While with perfidious hatred they pursued
  The sojourners of Goshen, who beheld
  From the safe shore their floating carcases
  And broken chariot wheels. So thick bestrewn,
  Abject and lost, lay these, covering the flood,
  Under amazement of their hideous change.
  He called so loud that all the hollow deep
  Of Hell resounded:â€""Princes, Potentates,
  Warriors, the Flower of Heavenâ€"once yours; now lost,
  If such astonishment as this can seize
  Eternal Spirits! Or have ye chosen this place
  After the toil of battle to repose
  Your wearied virtue, for the ease you find
  To slumber here, as in the vales of Heaven?
  Or in this abject posture have ye sworn
  To adore the Conqueror, who now beholds
  Cherub and Seraph rolling in the flood
  With scattered arms and ensigns, till anon
  His swift pursuers from Heaven-gates discern
  The advantage, and descending, tread us down
  Thus drooping, or with linked thunderbolts
  Transfix us to the bottom of this gulf?â€"
  Awake, arise, or be for ever fallen!"
          Book I., 240-330.

When God saw the entrance of Sin and Death into the world, he proclaimed to his Saints that their seeming victory was but temporary, and that eventually his Son would defeat Sin, Death, and the Grave, and seal up the mouth of Hell. Then, as the Halleluias rang out, he ordered the angels to make certain changes in the universe as a punishment to man. The Sun was so to move as to affect the earth alternately with a cold and heat almost unbearable; to the Moon were assigned her motions; the other planets were to join in various ways, often “unbenign.” The winds were assigned their stations to torment the earth and sea, and the thunder was set to strike terror to the heart of man. The poles of the earth were pushed aslant, and soon the effects of the changes were felt in heat, cold, wind, and storm.

Adam, though absorbed in his own misery and momentarily expecting Death, saw the changes, and bemoaned his woes the more. How would his mysterious progeny despise him, since he was the cause of their being brought into the world of woe! When Eve attempted to comfort him he drove her from him with harsh words, saying that in time to come women would be the unhappy cause of all man’s misery, as she had been of his. At last, seeing the futility of his outcries Adam began to cheer his wife, recalling the promise that their offspring should crush the head of the serpent, and suggested to her that they go to their former place of prayer and pour forth to God their true contrition and repentance.

The glad Son, presenting these prayers at his Father’s throne, interceded with him for them, since their contrition now was worth more than their worship in a state of innocence. His intercession was accepted, but since they had lost the two gifts of Happiness and Immortality, they must leave the garden lest they be tempted to taste next of the Tree of Life and make their woe eternal.

Michael was sent down to drive them from the garden, and if the pair seemed repentant and disconsolate he was ordered to comfort them with the promise of better days and to reveal to them somewhat of the future. In habit as a man Michael descended and declared to Adam and Eve that they could no longer abide in Paradise. When Adam, himself broken with grief, attempted to console the heart-broken Eve, the Angel comforted her also, and causing a sleep to fall upon her, led Adam to a hill-top, whence could be seen the hemisphere of the earth, soon to be covered by the seats of empires.

Touching Adam’s eyes with three drops from the well of life, the Angel showed him a long panorama, beginning with the crime of Cain, and showing the building of the Ark and its landing on Ararat. When he perceived that Adam’s eyes were weary, he recited to him the story of Abraham, of the deliverance from Egypt, the wandering in the Wilderness, of the royal stock of David from which would spring the seed so often promised Adam, who should ascend the hereditary throne, and whose glory should be universal.

Overjoyed, Adam inquired when would take place the final death stroke to Satan, the bruising with the Victor’s heel. Michael responded that Satan was not to be destroyed, but his works in Adam and his seed, and that the sacrifice of the Son’s life for man would forever crush the strength of Satan’s progeny, Sin and Death. Then, to that Heaven to which he would reascend, the faithful would go when the time came for the world’s dissolution, and there would be received into the bliss eternal.

Strengthened and sustained, Adam went down from the mount and met Eve, just awaking from comforting dreams.

The Cherubim descended, and, urged by the Angel, the two took their way into the wide world that lay before them, and looking back beheld the flaming swords of the Cherubim at the gates of their lost Paradise.

(continued)

As he gazed on them while the animals fell asleep and the sun sank below the horizon, Satan, still torn with conflicting emotions, ruminated over the unhappiness he was to bring the lovely pair. He admired them, he could love them; they had not harmed him, but he must bring unhappiness upon them because of their likeness to their Creator. Through them only could he obtain his longed-for revenge.

Anxious to learn where to attack them, he prowled about them, now as a lion, now as a tiger, listening to their conversation. They spoke of their garden, of the Tree of Life, and of the forbidden Tree of Knowledge. “In the day ye eat thereof, ye shall surely die,” had been their warning. Eve recalled the day of her creation, when she had first fled from Adam, and then yielded to his embraces, and Satan, watching their caresses, envied and hardened his heart. “Live while ye may!” he muttered. “Soon will I return and offer you new woes for your present pleasures.”

In the mean time, Gabriel, warned by Uriel, who suspected that an evil spirit had crept into Paradise, had set watches around the garden. Ithuriel and Zephon, sent to search for him, spied Satan in the form of a toad, sitting near the ear of Eve, tainting her dreams with foul whispers. Touched by Ithuriel’s spear, he was forced to resume his own shape and was taken to Gabriel. The angry Satan attempted to use force, but warned by a sign from Heaven that his strength was insufficient, fled, murmuring, through the night.

When morning dawned on Eden, a morn of unimaginable beauty, Adam waked Eve from her restless slumbers, and heard her troubled dreams, in which she had been tempted to taste of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. He comforted her, and after their morning hymn, in which they glorified their Creator, they set about their pleasant work of pruning the too luxuriant vines of their Paradise. In the mean time, the Father above, knowing the design of Satan, and determined that man should not fall without warning, sent Raphael down to Adam to tell him that he was threatened by an enemy, and that, as a free agent, if he fell, his sin would be upon his own head.

Six-winged Raphael swept down through the spheres and stood in Paradise, welcomed by Adam. Eve hastened to set before their guest every delicacy that Eden knew, and while she was preparing these Adam listened to the Angel’s warning.

To emphasize the sin of disobedience, Raphael related to the pair the story of Satan’s conspiracy with the other powers because the Father had proclaimed the power of his Son. The Father, knowing Satan’s confidence in himself, had allowed him for two days to fight an equal number of his legions of angels, among whom was Abdiel who had fled, indignant, from Satan’s ranks, and on the third day, when the legions of evil lay crushed beneath the mountains which the shining angels had heaped upon them, the Son of God drove forth in his chariot, and single-handed, forced them before him, terror-stricken, until, Heaven’s wall having opened, they fell downward for nine days, in horror and confusion into the depths of Hell. The Messiah, returning home in triumph in his chariot, was welcomed by the bright orders into the home of his Father.

Delighted by the recital of Raphael, Adam asked him to relate the story of the Creation, and explain to him the motion of the celestial bodies. He then told Raphael of his own creation; how he awoke as from a sleep and found the Sun above him and around him the pleasant groves of Paradise; how he named the animals as they passed before him, according to the will of God, and how he had pleaded with his Maker for a companion and equal, until the Creator, casting him into a sound sleep, took from his side a rib and formed from it his beauteous Eve. As Adam concluded, the setting sun warned Raphael to depart.

Satan, after fleeing from Gabriel, had hidden in the dark parts of the earth, so that he could creep in at night unseen of Uriel. After the eighth night, he crept in past the watchful Cherubim, and stealing into Paradise, wrapped in the mist rising over the river that, shooting underground, rose up as a fountain near the Tree of Life, he crept, though not without loathing, into the serpent, in which form he could best evade the watchful eyes of the heavenly guards and accomplish his purpose.

When morning dawned, Eve asked Adam for once to permit her to work alone, so that they might accomplish more. Adam, who constantly desired her presence, prayed her to remain, warning her of the enemy of whom Raphael had spoken, and telling her that they could resist temptation more easily together than when separated. But Eve was obdurate, and Adam finally consented that she should go alone to work.

As she moved among the groves, tying up the drooping flowers, like to Pomona in her prime, or to Ceres, the sight of so much beauty, goodness, and innocence moved even the serpent, as he approached, intent on the destruction of her happiness. But as he looked, the thought of her joy but tortured him the more, since happiness was no longer possible for him.

This was before the serpent had been compelled to crawl his whole length on the ground, and as he moved on, fold on fold, his head proudly reared, his scales brilliant in color, he was not an unpleasant object to look upon. He circled about Eve as though lost in admiration, until her attention was attracted, and then astounded her by addressing her in her own language. When she demanded by what means he had acquired speech, he told her by the plucking and eating of a certain tree in the garden, which he had no sooner tasted than he felt his inward powers to develop until he found himself capable of speech.

Eve at once asked him to take her to the tree, but when she recognized the forbidden Tree of Knowledge, she demurred, assuring the serpent that God had commanded them not to touch it, for if they ate of it, they should surely die. “Am I not alive?” asked her tempter, “and have I not eaten of it? Is it not a rank injustice that you should be forbidden to taste it and to lack the Knowledge of Good and Evil which it would give you? Where can the offence lie? It must be envy that causes such a prohibition.”

His words, the sight of the fruit, and natural hunger all prevailed on Eve, and she plucked a branch from the tree and tasted the fruit. As she ate she saw Adam coming in search of her, holding a garland which he had been binding to crown her. To his reproaches, she replied with the arguments of her tempter, until Adam, in despair, determined to taste the apple that he might not lose Eve. Paradise without her would not be Paradise, and no new wife could make him forget her.

After the first exhilaration of the food was past they began to reproach each other, mindful of their destiny, of which they had been warned by Raphael, and, engaged in this fruitless chiding, they were found by the Son, who, informed of their transgression by the angels, sought them out in their place of concealment. Adam and Eve he sentenced to a life of sorrow and labor, the serpent to go despised and ever at enmity with man. Then, pitying the unhappy pair, he clad them in skins and re-ascended to Heaven.

While this was occurring in Eden, Sin and Death, feeling in some mysterious way the success of their parent, determined to leave Hell and seek their new home. Passing through Chaos, they pushed the heavy elements this way and that, cementing them with Death’s mace until they constructed of them a bridge from the gates of Hell to the point on earth at which Satan had first alighted, and here met him, just returning, flushed with success, to Hell.

All the followers of Satan were gathered in Pandemonium to hear the news of his success, which he related, overjoyed at having wrought the ruin of mankind and revenged himself on God by so small a thing as the eating of an apple. As he concluded and stood waiting their applause, he heard a universal hiss, and saw himself surrounded by serpents, and himself changing into an enormous dragon. The great hall was filled with the monsters, scorpions, asps, hydras, and those who stood waiting without with applause for their leader were likewise changed into loathsome reptiles. Without the hall a grove sprang up, loaded with tempting fruit, but when, tortured with thirst, they tried to eat, it turned in their mouths to bitter ashes. After a time they were permitted to take again their own shapes, but were compelled to resume this serpent-form for a certain number of days each year, to crush their pride.

When that bright spirit, afterwards known as Satan, rose in rebellion against the Almighty Ruler of the Universe, presumptuously thinking himself equal to him in strength and following, he was overthrown by the Great Power and cast with his followers out of Heaven down to his future dwelling, flaming Hell.

Nine days he and his horrid crew fell through Chaos into the flaming pit yawning to receive them, and there lay for nine days,â€"rendered still more miserable by the thought of their immortality and the eternal bliss they had forfeited. Then Satan, rousing himself from the stupor consequent upon the fall, half rose and addressed the next in power to himself, Beelzebub.

“Thou art the same, yet not the same,” said he; “changed, lost is some of thy former brightness. Yet why repine? While we live, while we have so large a following, all is not lost. Our hate still lives, and have we but strength enough, we may still revenge ourselves upon him who thrust us into this accursed place.”

Rising from the lake, his great shield slung over his shoulders, the unconquered archangel walked over the burning marl to the beach of that fiery sea, and there with chiding words addressed the legions strewn around him. The great army rose hastily at the voice of its chief and passed before him, spirits whose heavenly names were now forever lost, who later became the gods of the idolaters. There was mighty Moloch, Chemos, those who later went by the general names of Baalim and Ashtaroth,â€"Thammuz, Dagon, Rimmon, Osiris, Isis, Orus and their train, Belial, and last of all, the Ionian gods.

His despair in part dissipated by the sight of this heroic array, their prince, towering high above all, addressed them. No one had foreseen the calamity that had overtaken them. Who could have guessed the power of the Almighty? But though overthrown they were not totally defeated. A rumor had long since been rife of the creation of another world with which they could interfere. At any rate, there must never be peace between them and the heavenly Powers. War there must be, war in secret, or war waged openly. As he ended, shield clashed against shield, and swords, quickly drawn, flashed before his eyes, and loud cries hurled defiance to Heaven.

The legions, led by Mammon, who in Heaven had been an honored architect, sought a hill near by, and quickly emptying it of its rich store of gold and jewels, built a massive structure. Like a temple in form was it, and round about it stood Doric columns overlaid with gold. No king of any future state could boast of a grander hall than this palace of Pandemonium which was so quickly reared upon a hill in Hell, and to which the heralds’ trumpets now summoned all the host.

On the massive throne, blazing with jewels, sat the fallen spirit, and thus addressed his followers: “Our success is sure in whatever we undertake. We shall never be riven with internecine warfare, for surely no one will quarrel over precedence in Hell. Therefore, united, we can, sure of our success, debate of the way in which we shall take up our warfare with the powers that have overthrown us.”

Moloch, Belial, Mammon, and Beelzebub spoke. Moloch was in favor of open war, since nothing could be worse than Hell, and continued assault against the Most High would, in annoying him, be a sweet revenge. Belial, who though timorous and slothful, was a persuasive orator, denounced Moloch’s plan. Since the ruler of Heaven was all-powerful, and they immortal, no one knew to what greater misery he could push them; perhaps he would bury them in boiling pitch to eternity, or inflict a thousand undreamed-of tortures. War, open and secret, he disliked, since it was impossible to conceal aught from the eye of the Most High. To make the best of Hell seemed all that was possible; in time they might become inured to its flames and better days might come, if they but accepted their doom patiently.

Mammon also considered war impossible. They could never hope to overcome the Almighty; neither could they hope nor wish for a reconciliation, for how hateful would be an eternity spent in cringing to one whom they hated. The desert soil of Hell teemed with riches, they could find peaceful pursuits, and it was his advice to continue there in quiet, untroubled by any thoughts of revenge.

Amid the murmur of applause that followed Mammon’s speech, Beelzebub, than whom none towered higher save Satan, arose, his face grave, his attitude majestic. “Would you, Thrones and Imperial Powers,” he cried, “think to build up a kingdom here, secure from the arm of Heaven? Have you so soon forgotten that this is not a kingdom ceded to you by the Most High, but a dungeon in which he has shut you for your everlasting punishment? Never will he forget that you are his prisoners; your lot will not be peace, but custody and stripes. What return can we make, then, but to think out some slow but sure and sweet revenge? It is not necessary to attempt to scale the walls of Heaven. Other things remain. There is this new world, his plaything. It may lie exposed, and we can at least make the attempt to seize it and lay it waste, and thus vex him.” As he saw their eyes sparkle, he continued: “We may in this attempt come near to the steps of our old abode and breathe again its delicious airs instead of these hellish flames. But first we must find some one, strong, wary, and watchful, to send in search of it.”

Satan strode forth, his courage and his consciousness of it making his face shine with transcendent glory. “Long is the way and hard; its dangers unknown and terrible, but I should be a poor sovereign did I hesitate in the attempt to seek it out. I do not refuse the sovereignty, for I fear not to accept as great a share of hazard as of honor. Stay here; charm away your time, and I will seek deliverance abroad for all of us.”

As he spoke he rose to depart, fearful lest others might now offer to go and share the glory with him.

The legions rose with a sound like thunder, bowed in deepest reverence and went forth, some, to explore their dismal abode, others to amuse themselves at games, others to discuss Free Will and Fate, while their leader pursued his way toward the gate of Hell.

The nine-fold gates were of brass, iron, and adamantine rock, reaching high to the mighty roof, and most horrible were the Shapes that guarded it.

On one side sat a creature, woman to the waist, below, a serpent, surrounded by a crew of hell hounds, forever barking and then seeking refuge within her. On the other, a Shape, black, fierce, terrible, crowned with the likeness of a kingly crown, and shaking in its hands a dreadful dart. As he strode, Hell trembled. Satan, undaunted, met him with fierce words. As the two stood, their lances pointed at each other, the woman shrieked and ran between them.

“Father, rush not upon thy son! Son, raise not thy hand against thy father!” She then explained that she was Satan’s daughter, Sin, who had sprung from his head full grown, and that she later became by him the mother of the creature called Death who sat with her to guard the gates.

Satan at once unfolded to them his plan of seeking the new world and making a happy home for both Sin and Death, where they could forever find food to gratify their hideous cravings. Charmed by his highly-colored pictures, and forgetful of the commands from above, Sin opened the mighty doors, so that the flames of Hell spread far out into Chaos, but her strength failed her when she attempted to close them again.

For a moment Satan looked out into the mixture of Hot and Cold and Moist and Dry that formed Chaos, and then started forth, now rising, now falling, his wings heavy with the dense masses, now wading, now creeping, until at last he reached the spot where was fixed the throne of Chaos and of Night. Here Satan learned of the situation of the new world and soon caught a glimpse of it, hanging like a star, by a golden chain, from Heaven.

Sitting in Heaven, high throned above all, God, all-seeing, all-knowing, was conscious of Satan’s escape from Hell and his approach to the new world. To his Son, sitting on his right hand, he pointed out the fallen spirit. “No prescribed bounds can shut our Adversary in; nor can the chains of hell hold him. To our new world he goes, and there, by no fault of mine, will pervert man, whom I have placed therein, with a free will; so to remain until he enthralls himself. Man will fall as did Satan, but as Satan was self-tempted, and man will be deceived by another, the latter shall find grace where his tempter did not.”

Great was the joy of the Son when he learned that man would receive mercy for his transgression. “Pardon and mercy he shall receive,” declared the Father, “but some one must be willing to expiate his sin for him; the just must die for the unjust. Who in Heaven is willing to make the sacrifice?”

For a moment all the Heavenly quire stood mute; then the Son of God spoke and implored his Father to let his anger fall on him, since he could not wholly die, but could arise from death and subdue his vanquisher.

When his Father accepted the sacrifice, and named him Son of God and Man who should hereafter be Universal King, Ruler of Heaven and Earth, Heaven rang with the shouts of the Angels, who, casting down their amaranthine wreaths until the golden pavement was covered with the garlands, took their golden harps and sang the praises of the Father and the Son.

While they sang, Satan walked over the vast globe on which he had alighted, through what in after years, when the world was peopled, was to be the Paradise of Fools, the spot to which the spirits of all things transitory and vain, of those who had worked for their reward in life instead of in Heaven, would come. He walked around the dark globe until, directed by a gleam of light, he found the spot where a ladder led up to Heaven. Just below it, down through the spheres, was the seat of Paradise to which he was bending his way.

Down through the crystal spheres he bent his way toward the Sun, which attracted him by its superior splendor. Espying Uriel, the Angel of the Sun, he quickly took the form of a youthful Cherub, and, approaching Uriel, told him that having heard of the new world he had been seized by a longing to quit the bands of Cherubim and see for himself the wonderful work of the Creator.

Directed by the unsuspecting Uriel, Satan sped downward and standing upon the top of Niphates, surveyed Eden.

As he looked, his spirit was troubled. He had brought Hell with him, and his unhappy thoughts boiled and surged in his troubled mind. “Sun, I hate thee, because thy beams recall to me what I was and how I fell. The matchless King of Heaven deserved no such return from me. His service was easy. Had I only been created a lower Power!â€"But even then, might not some higher one have led me into temptation? What shall I do, whither shall I fly, to escape infinite wrath, and infinite despair? Hell is around me, I myself am Hell! There is no hope for me. Submission is the only way left, and I could not unsay what I have said; I could never bridge the gulf made by my revolt. Farewell to remorse! Good is forever lost to me, and I must now make Evil my good. I can at least divide the empire of the world with the King of Heaven.”

As he realized how his bitter thoughts had dimmed his countenance he smoothed it over with outward calm, but not before Uriel, from the Sun, had noted and wondered over his strange gestures.

Leaping over the high natural walls of Paradise, Satan, in the form of a cormorant, perched himself on the Tree of Life. Beautiful was the scene before him. All the trees and plants were of the noblest kind. In the midst of them stood the Tree of Life with its golden fruit, and not far off the Tree of Knowledge. Southward through Eden ran a river, which, passing under a huge hill, emerged into four great streams wandering through many afterwards famous realms. Between the rows of trees stretched level lawns where grazed the happy flocks, and over the green mead were sprinkled flowers of every hue. No fairer scene ever met living eyes, and fairest of all were the two stately forms, in whose looks shone the divinity of their Maker. Hand in hand they passed through the garden, refreshed themselves with the delicious fruits, and were happy in each other.

Agreed. Live life now in the Heart of Christ Jesus. Whom all good things come from.

This story made me cry, Bem. Luuy pood kaayo ang gamay bata.

Quote from: grazie7y on August 24, 2008, 03:35:17 PM
Thanks jud, Dong!  I will relay this to them.  Yes, the nutritionist had lots of bawal na for Uncle Ray.  Low fat, low sodium, low cholesterol and all the lows!  I hope he can keep up with this new healthy diet because I know Uncle Ray is a lover of good and sinful food like a big o chunk of steak, pastries and ala-IHOP kind of breakfast!

'te Ging,

Okey ra man pood if he eats steak pero he needs to reduce his pieces pood. Instead of having just a 12 oz or 15 oz steak with fries and butter roll; Tito Ray can have a 8 oz steak (grilled to his loving, of course, lol) and instead of fries and butter roll; he can have a bowl of salad. Instead of coke, or pepsi, he can have tea or water with lemon.

It's all about will power, jud. Okey ra man if he eats what he wants, pero he needs to seriously reduce his portions and balance it out with healthy foods: per se more on fiber. More into cabage, pichay and bachoy; because these things are like brooms tht sweep out the particulates in our stomach, in our jejunum and in our duodenum (small intestines) and kick it out of the body.

Tell him jud, Ate Ging, to take an aspirin a day. He needs to maintain his blood thinners jud ani. I talked to my uncle about this, who is a practicing Internal Medical Doctor. He says blood thinner, healthy diety, and daily exercise jud.


To All Glory and Praise goes to God.
Who strengthens us all
Who gives us our daily bread
And who calls us home according to his own plans.

One another important message that I have to tell anyone here who are already in their upper 40s and are taking medication already.

It is important to lay off 'SALT'.

Excessive intake of Salt (Sodium Chloride) is a leading cause of cardiac-related problems.

Let me explain to you the biochemical processes of Salt that is negates the system;

Water moves across membranes into an area of higher salt concentration. So with a higher salt concentration, you have a higher water content, which increases the volume of blood, which in turn increases the pressure. Hence any  increase of Salt intake will lead to a massive increase in Blood Pressure (HBP)

REMEMBER,

Sodium is the one kept out of cells and potassium is the one inside cells.

Our cells live in an ocean of salt water (serum) which is very high in sodium and very low in potassium. This salt water passes through each cell at the rate of nearly 100 times the volume of the cell each second. Yet the cells themselves contain a sodium concentration of only 7% of the serum and a potassium concentration 32 times greater than the serum.

This is why we have the Sodium-Potassium Pump in the cell. To maintain homeostasis.

Any increase of NA (sodium) will devastate that balance.

----

For those who love to eat Filipino food; you can help yourself by eating Filipino food still, but just limit the amount of salt you put in your food. You can do this by reducing amount of toyo; stop eating too much buwad, stop eating too much humba; stop eating too much salted adobo.

Focus more on fiber-based food. Eat celery, cabbage, batchoy etc.



Yours,

All i can advice to those who have or may have not or those who may have but didnt know they have heart problems...


You cant just go to any high elevated places. And others may have not known, mag lain gani inyong pamati when you fo to high elevation, kanaug dayun or take deep breaths, try to cough as hard as you can, a hard cough nga murag naa kay plema nga gusto ipagawas. Kay when you cough hard mura ra na ug nag CPR ka sa imong kaugalingon...To some early in the morning, if you feel like peeing from a deep sleep, dont stand up right away, try to sit a while kay daghan kaajo heart attack early in the morning...

She is correct.

This is called HAS (high altitude sickness) and is caused when anyone goes to high altitudes, as altitude increases there is less oxygen and this translates, biochemically speaking, in less oxygen per breath; as a result there is a matistasis of decreaed oxygen in the blood.

This translates in the body's (the heart) need to pump more blood. For those who are already suffering from chronic cardiopulmonary problems, this is a serious condition as it can place excessive stress on the cardiothoracic system.

Myocardial infarction can occur; as it is documented in many medical journals. That is why it is recommended by physicians for patients that are suffering abroad (taking airplane) to take and bring their medication; beta blockers, blood thinners, dilators.

Cheers,

Good Job, USA!

Podiatric Medicine is a very interesting one. Like traditional medicine, the students of podiatric medicine learn basic histology, anatomy, biochemistry, doctoring methods, genetics, molecular biology, physiology, pharmacology, neuroscience, and podogogical treatments.

Some pictures to illustrate the field of Podiatry


DPM (Doctor of Podiatric Medicine) students


Looks like she's doing a simple surgical procedure; callus removal.




Podiatric Surgery


Calcaneal reconstructive surgery on the distal prominence


It is important to note that Podiatric Medicine is already a specialized field of medicine and that there is close relationships between Podiatrists and Podiatric Surgeons with Orthopedic Surgeons; especially when it involves podigogical reconstructive surgery and or minimal invasive surgery in removing of the feet or parts of the foot.

Fascinating field of medicine.

This is just totally catastrophic. Thank you kaayo, Bon, for giving me that information.

The government has no one else to blame for the migration of nurses and physicians abroad but themselves for the magnanimous medical situation in the Philippines.

For me, I see nothing wrong with nursing students going abroad to find a job; they follow economic law. Supply and Demand.

There is alot of supply of Filipino nurses; there is little demand in the Philippines due to the saturation of the source; but there is quite a high demand for the said source in the West and Middle East. So naturally and logically, mo follow pood ang mga Filipino medical professionals sa flow.

Until the government can increase the standard of living/pay grade of atong mga nurses and physicians; they cannot expect to reduce the immigration of said professionals abroad. Les the demand of said sources decreases due to global economic hardships, immigration laws, and/or a growing saturation of said source in the importing countries.

Gec,

Spanish is one of the most easiest languages, in my opinion.

If you can master the English language, then Spanish should be cake.

There are benefits to Spanish, as a Romance Language, in that there are strong similarities to French, Italian, Romanian etc.

Hahaha!

Thank you again, Michael.

To God be all Glory!

Did you Know

that the name MICHA-EL means 'WHO is like GOD?' in Hebrew.

Did you know

that in Daniel 10:13 sqq., Gabriel says to Daniel, when he asks God to permit the Jews to return to Jerusalem: "The Angel [D.V. prince] of the kingdom of the Persians resisted me . . . and, behold Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me . . . and none is my helper in all these things, but Michael your prince."

Angel Michael the Mighty Archangel is the Prince of the Heavenly Host and the one who defeated Satan; thrusting the fallen angel to the pits of Sheol and unto Earth.

Angel Michael was the one who shouted in Revelations 12:10 after he smote the Devil

"And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night."

The Messenger of God jud ni si St. Gabriel the Archangel.

The Name 'Gabri-El' means 'Power of God'.

Gabriel is the angel that delivered the message to the Prophet Daniel in the Old Testament

He is the one that delivered the message to Blessed Mother Mary of the coming of the Savior through her womb. He was also one of the Angels that came and talked to Abraham--about the incineration of Sodom and Gamorrah. Blessed Gabriel, one who stands before the Throne of God, was the one who warned Lot and his followers not to return else be turned to white salt if they looked at the ruins of Sodom and Gamorrah. Blessed Gabriel was also said to have been the angel that strengthened Christ Jesus during his hardest times in the garden.

Blessed St. Gabriel the Archangel himself said,
"I am Gabriel, who stand before God" (Luke 1:19)

Lorenzo,

I was so moved watching the film Phantom of the Opera.  If only I will have the opportunity, I would love to see its Broadway production.

Oh were you, Don Senor Gec muy inteligente?

Ah, what a romantic show, what a show! what a show!

I must admit, I totally feel for the Phantom.

I thought he was more passionate than the 'other guy'.

What say you, Don Senor?

Hahahaha!

GEC! I think I have an idea who you are

LoL!

'te Uy!

haha really? Ooo but is it true that the French are romantic?


For me, I dated a Pakistani girl for like 1 week. Great girl, awesome personality, but as time progressed we had differences in religion that were unbridge-able. She was muslim and I'm Christian. She tried getting me to convert to Islam before. Or talked about the 'wrongs' about my 'faith'.

I dunno. I mean I won't deny that she was a great person, beautiful personality, pero just had strong differences in faith.

We're still good friends to this day. But nothing more than that. Friends, that is.

Hahaha I don't know; maybe because it is perceived in American society that Asian males are very shy or are only 'pro-asian women'. I know alot of white girls that like asian men or are attracted to only asian males, but are afraid to tell the subject of the affection that they like them because of fear of not being liked back.

White women, like any other women, are very open minded baya, 'te.

I mean most of the girls that I've had relationships with are (and i admit) white or hispanic. You'll come into contact with rude girls, loud girls, but there are many who are 'loud' white girls, but behind closed doors--they are the most cutest, most romantic and adorable things a man could know. Many of them are hopeless romantics, lol.

But yea I do agree with you that i do see more white male-asian female relationships than there are asian male-white female relationships.

I think its just that Asian males are more conservative and want Asian females?

But yea, there are alot of Puti girls out there who have a 'thing' for Asian guys. lol.

Its wierd but its good cuz there are alot of Asian guys out there who have a 'thing' for white chics or Latina chics.

But whatever floats their boat. haha

I just wanted to know if some of you ever dated a person who at first was compatible, but as time progressed showed indifference; or didn't agree to your way of life.

If so, how were you able to deal with it, and if you were able to, how did you move past the cultural divide and differences?

Not that old at all. Tito Arthur is only 33 or 32.

I just don't agree with some generalizations that white women and spanish women are insensitive. The same way as not all Filipinas are loving. Just depends on the person who you know and if whether they are willing to open up to you and if they care about you enough to accept your culture and accept differences.

The same as there are alot of white men out there who are in love with Filipino culture, asian culture etc. And adopt it. My own uncle Steve is puti and I don't even see him as being white or foreign because he acts more Filipino than he is Irish-American.

Yup, yup. Hoping that there are still more conservative and traditional ladies out there. Very rare find nowadays.

Not all caucasian and Hispanic women are insensitive to different cultural norms. I have an uncle (second degree cousin) who married a a white woman. His wife is extremely sensitive and has embraced the Filipino culture and even knows some words. So dili pood tanan.

I've dated Argentine, Puerto Rican and Spanish girls in the past and one thing that I can relay is that they are very orthodox and conservative. As in Roman Catholic, very religious and devout, and hold strong cultural roots.

Some long conversations would be similarities and differences between Filipino culture and theirs. More similar than different, btw.

Just my view.

Additionally,

It was Spanish Law that dictated all people living in the Philippines adopt Spanish surnames and Spanish names. Every single child born was given a Spanish name etc. Even if you were Malay Indio or Chinese immigrant, you had to adopt a Spanish name; that is why so many Chinese 'Hispanicized' their Chinese names.

There are Chinese-Filipino surnames that are 'Hispanicized' such as Tiongson, Tuangco, Hengrifo etc.

The naming of people in Spanish names became a cultural practice; imbedded within the psyche of the people. That is why even after Spain relinquished its control of the Philippines by 1898, many Filipinos still continued to give children Spanish names.

Even to this day.

Lolo Mariano was from Macao City in Guangzhou region; which was a Portuguese territory for over 400 years. As a result of that, Roman Catholicism and Christianity was proliferated throughout the area and region. Even to this day, the hot bed of Roman Catholicism and Christianity in China is in around Macao and the Guangzhou region.

Lolo Mariano and his brothers, who also came with him to Philippines were already Catholics before they even came to Philippines.

Si Lolo Mariano was a very devoute member sa among church in Santo Nino Church in Valencia.

He was the one that carried the bell to the tower sa Santo Nino Church and was a very active member sa church as from what my mother and my late Lola Babing (my grand-aunt) told me.

We know that the United States is currently the world's only Hyper Power.

The United States, economically, generates a massive economic machine of over 13 Trillion Dollars a year. The United States Military is the most high tech and advanced military force in the world. With a fleet of 18 super air craft carriers, squadrons of destroyers, cruisers, submarines (nuclear and conventional) and over a Million Men and women in its Armed Forces that spans throughout the Globe.

The United States, remains, the only nation to have never lost a war in its history. And the American People, are one of the most vehemently nationalistic people in the world.

Where the saying of, 'America IS Number 1' and 'Only First Place; 2nd Place doesn't cut it' permeate in the minds of the American Masses.

Do you think that the United States of America will be surpassed in power by other nations of the world?

What are your views? And give your reason for it.



Let the debates begin!

Islam is just a very violent religion. Muslims either they be in Africa, Middle East, Southern Thailand, Indonesia and even in the southern Philippines are too extremist in their actions.

It is inexplicably said in the Q'uran that to kill one's self is a grave sin. Yet there are suicide bombers who blow themselves up so that they can kill innocents.

In Israel, In Iraq, In Afghanistan, in the Philippines, in Spain, in Britain etc.

Obama picked Joe Biden as his VP.

Interesting pick; Biden has 25 years experience in the US Senate.

The best of the best has got to go to 'Hakuna Matata' LOL!

Lyrics

[spoken] I never thought hyenas essential
They're crude and unspeakably plain
But maybe they've a glimmer of potential
If allied to my vision and brain.

[sung] I know that your powers of retention
Are as wet as a warthog's backside
But thick as you are, pay attention
My words are a matter of pride

It's clear from your vacant expressions
The lights are not all on upstairs
But we're talking kings and successions
Even you can't be caught unawares

So prepare for a chance of a lifetime
Be prepared for sensational news
A shining new era
Is tiptoeing nearer

[SHENZI]
And where do we feature?

[SCAR]
Just listen to teacher
I know it sounds sordid
But you'll be rewarded
When at last I am given my dues!
And injustice deliciously squared
Be prepared!

[BANZAI]
[spoken] Yeah! Be prepared.
We'll be prepared. For what?

[SCAR]
[spoken] For the death of the king!

[BANZAI]
[spoken] Is he sick?

[SCAR]
[spoken] No, fool! We're going to kill him... and Simba too!

[SHENZI]
[spoken] Great idea! Who needs a king?

[BANZAI AND SHENZI]
[spoken] No king, No king, nah nah nah nah nah nah!

[SCAR]
[spoken] Idiots! There will be a king!

[BANZAI]
[spoken] But you said...

[SCAR]
[spoken] I will be king!
Stick with me, and you'll never be hungry again!

[BANZAI AND SHENZI]
[spoken] Yay, all right!
Long live the king!
Long live the king!

[HYENAS]
[sung] It's great that we'll soon be connected
With a king who'll be all-time adored

[SCAR]
Of course, quid pro quo, you're expected
To take certain duties on board
The future is littered with prizes
And though I'm the main addressee
The point that I must emphasize is
You won't get a sniff without me

[HYENAS]
So prepare for the coup of the century

[SCAR]

Be prepared for the murkiest scam
Meticulous planning
Tenacity spanning
Decades of denial
Is simply why I'll
Be king undisputed
Respected, saluted
And seen for the wonder I am

[HYENAS]
Ooooh!
We'll have food!
Lots of food
We repeat
Endless meat

[SCAR]
Yes my teeth and ambitions are bared

[SCAR AND HYENAS]
Be prepared!
Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared
Be prepared!

So take one word you said
You put it in your bed
You rest your tiny head on your pillow
You wonder where you're going next
You got your head pushed to my chest
and now you're hoping that someone let's you in
Well I sure'll let you in
You know I'll let you in
Oh kelsey, you

So don't let anyone scare you
You know that i'll protect you
Always now, through the thick and thin
Until the end
You better watch it
You know you don't cross it because
I'm always here for you
and i'll be here for you
(i know x3) i know how it feels believe me
i've been there and
(i know x3) i know what it feels like
tell me kelsey

And* i'll swim the ocean for you
the ocean for you
whoa, oh kelsey
and* i'll swim the ocean for you
the ocean for you
whoa, oh kelsey

Now it's going to get harder
and it's going to burn brighter
and it's going to feel tougher each and every day
so let me say that i love you
you're all i've ever wanted
all i've ever dreamed of to come
and yes you did come
i want you so bad (so bad)
can you feel it too? (it too)
you know i'm so, i'm so in love with you
i want you, so much
i need you, so much
i need your, i need your, your touch

and* i'll swim the ocean for you
the ocean for you
whoa, oh kelsey

In time all things will heal. Tito Ray will need to maintain his prescription intake, as well as change dietary intake as well; reduce cholesterol, and he should take an aspirin a day.

Males between the ages of 45 and over are high risk for Heart Attacks and Strokes.

My own father takes his medications religiously as well as maintains a healthy lifestyle. Every day jud ni siya he takes aspirin.

Prevention is always the best, 'te.

God Bless Tito Ray that he gets better.

Lorenzo, I've seen somebody putting ice under the tongue as first aid for heart attack or stroke. Is this OK.

I've never heard this during our First Aid class. Beware to put anything cold to a person who has had a stroke or heat stroke because they can go into shock.

First aid when a person has a heart attack, if there is no Nitro or aspirin, is to begin doing CPR and Artificial Respiration.

---

For stroke victims, the immediate first aid for them is to make sure that they are breathing; if they are then make sure to elevate their shoulders and head--this will relieve blood pressure to the brain.

Do not give anything to eat or drink to them; their throat may be paralyzed and restricting their ability to swallow.

Insurectus,

Is your physican giving you Lipitor and and Diovan? These prescription drugs are the latest here in the 'states and are highly recommended for patients with high BP and are hypertensive.

Exercise is really good jud. Doesn't matter if you don't run for 10 miles. So long as you exercise jud and walk every day even for just 20-30 minutes.

Keep it up, Insurectus.

Thank the Lord, Most Merciful, that he was alright; and that he was sent to the ER early.
All the best to Tito Ray and that he gets better and healthy.

Hope he is alright jud!

Medicine is all about taking risks; especially when dealing with borderline patients.
(which is about 60% of patients you see).

Sometimes surgeons have patients that are suffering from a total or partial cloggage; and have to undergo cardiacut, double, triple bipass surgery, or even require a transplant.

All of these types are risks; gambles, even.

When a cardiothoracic surgeon has a patient with a massive chest pain problem; and attempts a cardiacut, it is possible that the patient can recover fully; but then again there is a possibility that part of the clogged matter can escape suction/removal and travel to the heart--this leads to the formation cardio-emboli.

When you are a surgeon and are transplanting a heart; this is all about risk and gambling. 50/50 chance ani. One outcome is the body accepting the donor heart and working immediately; the other is the body's rejection of the foreign visceri. Patient dies.

Medicine is all about risks. Luckily for medical students and attending physicians is that we are able to stand on the shoulders of past physicians who have relegated which procedures work and which do not. And which need more experimental trials.

Medicine is all about learning and finding proper ways to treat a disease after many trials. They teach us in medical school that nothing is ever 'Guaranteed' because the body is totally unpredictable. One is healthy one day, the next he or she is dead or is suffering from an ailment that wasn't even considered to manifest.

Medicine is always changing; and with any change, requires 'calculated' risks. Per se, trials.

Reading books, playing mind games: chess, checkers, puzzles, as well as engaging in dialogue such as debate and discussions helps in stimulating the brain.

I hope Inday's Dad is alright and stays in good health. Survivor na siya sa stroke, he must take his medications religiously jud, 'te.

I went to church before  class sa college. This was 2 years back.

Ningampo ko kai gi mingaw ko sa ahong pamilya; mingaw ko sa ahong mama ug ahong papa.

I was in church by myself, i fell asleep sa seat; sigoro i fell asleep for 1 or 2 hours. But I woke up because there was something hitting my eyes. I opened my eyes and looked and saw that the sun shined through the Window Murals of the church. All the colors luminated my face, and my chest.

Tinuud jud and mo believe jud ko that ang Ginoo is always listening.

He has given us all the time in the world; by giving him some time and visiting church and worshipping him; I think it is so beautiful.

In my daily work and in studies, stress is a factor, always. Sometimes I just have an urge to visit church; and when I drive to the parking lot, I already start to feel a sense of relief.

Getting out of my car, and walking to Church, my body tingles around and the hairs of my body rises.

As I open the Doors of my Roman Catholic Church, the cold air rushes to my face and surrounds my body. I open the second door, to my right, there is the pitcher that holds Holy Water. The act of placing my finger in holy water and make the sign of the cross ; the forehead, the lower chest and both shoulders. It surrounds me with euphoric feeling and sensation.

I look up and see murals of the Blessed Mother Mary on top of clouds with 12 stars on top of her crown. Then I look to windows and see stations of the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ. I look forward, I see a large Crucifix and below it is the Blessed Holy Sacrament of the Lord. The Body of Christ.

I walk down the isle to the middle row, outstretch the kneeling instrument and sit down. My mind is suddenly filled with calm and peace. As if all my daily stresses have been taken away.

Then I start to pray with old women who still cover their faces with black veils. I join them in rosary prayer and as if our prayers permeate the church, as if our prayers rises to the Throne of Almighty God, like Incense rises to the Altar of the Lord.

When I join these ladies in prayer, it is as if I loose my track of time, and become en sync with prayer. Everything in the world disappears from my mind.

In prayer there is only communion with The Almighty. Naa'y feeling of great peace that words cannot even begin to describe.

After I finish, I genuflect, and leave.

As I leave Church, my mind is refreshed.

As I begin to drive away from the parking lot, I already want to go back to Church.

For those who have cardiopulmonary problems; hypertension, high blood pressure, etc.

Make sure to always carry a bottle of nitroglycerin in your personal bag, in your bed side table or in your car just in case.

The reason for this is just in case you have chest pains, in case of MI, take 2 nitro pills and place it under your tongue. It will dilate your arteries to allow blood to flow; and can save your life from a heart attack.

Also make sure to take your beta blockers, your blood thinners (aspirin etc) to stay safe.

It also helps to raise your legs when you're sleeping. Place 1 or 2 pillows under your foot so that your legs are elevated; this forces more blood to go to the body and away from the legs.

My maternal great grandfather was 100% Chinese from Guangzhao, China.

His Original name was Tan Ngai Feiyi; but changed his name to Mariano Tan when he arrived to the Philippines.

Why did he do it? Because he honored the Blessed Mother Mary. Mariano is the masculine form of 'Maria', which is the Spanish name for 'Mary'.

I can't stand women that criticize family members. If a gf of mine ever starts to criticize my father or mother or my siblings in a negative way; it is over.

If she gets along with my mother and my sister; then that is a sign. However, she must receive blessing from my mother.
