Child Abuse and Maltreatment

I do not exactly know the reason why I feel stupid about myself. I do not know it it is because I'm so attached with righteousness (which i strongly believe I don't) and just can't do anything about what's going wrong because I do not have the power. Each one of us may have the authority to do changes to make even at least a little difference but not all have the courage to do it. And I guess most of the time, I don't have the courage to initiate and make changes. I blame the time for moving so slow or the fate for bringing me where I am now for the wrong time. It's already late in the evening but I'm just only about to go and make my way home. While walking on the dark street to make it on my way home, I heard a rearing potpot sound. I didn't looked back for I know it's just some old man selling balut over his pedicab. but i was wrong. the vendor passed me and all i saw is some 10-year child taking the risks of what might happen to him every time t...

An Overview with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

The immune system is a combination of specialized blood cells called white blood cells and the chemicals they secrete called the antibodies. The body recognizes foreign cells or organisms, such as viruses and bacteria. It fights them using both white blood cells and antibodies. The white blood cells and antibodies find the foreign material and destroy it by breaking down. The immune system is very good from protecting us from microbes and viruses. Unfortunately, sometimes the immune system mistakes body cells for foreign material, causing the immune system to attack the body itself. This self-destruction causes inflammation and damages various body tissues. When the immune system mistakes the body cells for foreign material, an autoimmune disease results. Lupus is a condition of chronic inflammation caused by an autoimmune disease. Patients with lupus produce abnormal antibodies in their blood that target tissues within their own body rather than foreign infectious agents. Because the ...

Bipolar over SLE

I never thought that those who are actually weak and err...incompetent will actually predominate in making the decision over the competent and intellect ones because of a votation thing. so happy (duh?!)

some spice

I'm always used to this bitter taste. Aromatic as bitter coffee may seem but what lies behind is still the undeniable bitter taste that each coffee bean brings for every sip I take. Because of knowing it's coffee that i'm taking in, I forgot to appreciate the presence of sugar that adds sweetness and aroma each time i take a sip Life's having a cup of coffee. You sit by the window, lift the cup and take a careless sip...only to realize that somebody forgot to put the sugar. too lazy to go for it, you somehow struggle through that sugarless cup..till you discover undissolved sugar crystals sitting at the bottom. That's how life is..we do not make an effort to value what's with and around us...So look around...maybe the sweetness that we are looking for is closer than what we think!

Drained

I'm a bit guilty and depressed with what happened to me yesterday. I just missed one of the very important time when someone just needed me. I do not know what i will do actually. The only way to respond to my bestfriend's sms is to have my phone be charged. My contacts were stored in my phone memory and to do something, I tried to borrow Jhed 's mobile battery but unfortunately, my phone and his phone, though of the same brand, each other's battery were not compatible to one another. This day is very tragic. I was in Edsa, went home alone and slept outside (just not to disturb and hear any words). Now, I have to read, read, and read. I have to know everything. Every single information. for everything matters now...

Niche

I was browsing the net (as what I do daily) when I found a blog that has same posts as mine. What was only different is the blog layout. It's heartbreaking actually to continue reading "his" blog entries. I bumped in to his blog last June 2007 (time when he has just newly started blogging) and gave him a comment. I already noticed his "KSP" attitude (ADHD medically) but didn't mind it because I took into consideration that he has just started and blogging and soon enough he will be able to find his identity. But I guess I was wrong. I felt sad because if only he knows what's behind my dramatic posts, with my career of being a nurse, and my frustration to be a pediatrician years from now. if only you know...

The Sixth Commandment

Everybody or almost everyone who uses and reads the Holy Bible where Christ is the saviour knows what the sixth commandment is. You Shall NOT Commit Adultery But what IS adultery? Adultery: Adultery is marital infidelity. A married person who has sexual relations with anyone but their lawful spouse, even transient sexual relations, commits adultery. What's under adultery? Divorce: no need for further explanation Fornication— All aspects of intimate contact associated with the marriage act also constitute fornication for Jesus said, "I say to you, everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart" (Matthew 9:28). If lustful looks are adulterous, how much worse is lustful physical contact? Ok. what can we do? Prostitution—Prostitution reduces a person to an instrument of sexual pleasure and lust. It is gravely contrary to charity and chastity and defiles the body, the temple of the Holy Spirit. However, destitution, blackmail or so...

Behind controversies

The Philippines has bigger and sensible problems to face than dealing with that issue of Willie Revillame and Joey De Leon. I don't have any brighter idea why we have to root the original cause and all. Who would have the interest to watch a "news" if all you can see and hear are about gossips and celebrity issues. OH MY GOD! They are just wasting the masses' precious time. Can you still call that a "sensible" news if all the news exposed on Philippine media are about showbusiness? The whole media is revolving on celebrities. but don't tell me that even the smallest segment alloted to talk and inform people about what's happening with our motherland, the Philippines will still be taken to talk about celebrity and station issues. Let us focus ourselves to something that has with "sense". Everybody keeps on saying that A time wasted is a time lost. So can we use our time wisely? Gossip has always been one of the evil pleasures. It is unworthy...

Is it good to be like everyone else?

David Gordon (John Cusack) is an eccentric science fiction writer who considers adopting Dennis (Bobby Coleman), a young orphaned boy who claims to be from Mars. Ignoring some sage advice about the perils of parenthood from his sister, Liz (Joan Cusack), and the qualms of children’s group home director, Sophie (Sophie Okonedo), David decides he wants to be a father to the odd youngster who keeps insisting he is an alien. Even with the support of his sympathetic friend, Harlee (Amanda Peet), the aspiring dad soon finds himself in way over his head. For starters, he’s in danger of missing his next publishing deadline and that has his nervous agent, Jeff (Oliver Platt), pretty worried. And then there is the social worker, Lefkowitz (Richard Schiff), and his review board who also have some serious doubts about David’s suitability as a dad.In the midst of all this, young Dennis exhibits some pretty strange behavior and adamantly insists that he does indeed come from the red planet. A series...
